Bai Ling knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. No one in the costume design department, led by Cui Wenhao, was willing to speak for Bai Ling.
Some people watch coldly as if it has nothing to do with them; some people avoid looking at others, feeling guilty; some people take advantage of others’ misfortune and gloat over their misfortune; some people are anxious and restless, jumping up and down in frustration.
The small design department is home to a variety of human thoughts.
Wen Xinya had a calm expression, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Cui Wenhao saw this and a hint of pride flashed across his eyes. "Miss, even if Bai Ling is not a traitor, she caused the design drawings to be leaked while she was keeping them. She almost caused the group to suffer an injustice and lose its reputation. She cannot escape the blame."
"Team Leader Cui is right, Bai Ling should be dealt with!"
"Bai Ling is to blame for leaking the design!"
"… "
Everyone agreed with Cui Wenhao's words.
Cui Wenhao has worked at Wen's for more than ten years. He has a good relationship with people and is also a team leader of the clothing design group. Naturally, everyone is willing to believe what he says.
More importantly, the eldest lady made it clear today that she wanted to find the traitor. If she is not careful, she might end up getting into trouble. Now that Bai Ling is the biggest suspect, it would be better to push her out so that this traitor crisis can be settled as soon as possible.
Everyone has his or her own little thoughts and calculations.
For a time, the traitor's conflict was directed at Bai Ling.
"I'm not a traitor. I didn't leak the costume design drawings..."
Bai Ling was stunned. She obviously had not expected that her colleague, with whom she usually got along well, not only did not speak up for her, but instead thought she was a traitor. She was greatly shocked for a moment.
Jingjing stamped her foot and said angrily, "Bai Ling is not a traitor. Don't wrongly accuse her. If you have the ability, you can show evidence. How can you jump to conclusions based on speculation and inference?"
If someone said Bai Ling was a traitor, she would be the first one to not believe it.
Nan Nan calmed down and looked at Wen Xinya who had been silent. "Sister Xinya, Bai Ling has a simple personality and is usually carefree. She is definitely not a traitor. We believe her."
Wen Xinya was about to speak.
At this time, Cui Wenhao said: "Bai Ling has a simple personality and is not a traitor. You have the best relationship with her, so you naturally have the opportunity to access clothing design drawings. You are also a suspect."
When he said this, everyone was stunned. They obviously didn't expect him to say such a thing.
Nan Nan's face turned pale and she forgot to refute for a moment.
At this time, Wen Xinya said: "Bai Ling, get up!"
She looked at Bai Ling, who was kneeling on the ground and crying, with an unyielding majesty in her eyes.
Bai Ling looked at her in astonishment, her eyes red and her face full of grievance.
"I believe you are not a traitor." After saying that, she shot a sharp gaze at Cui Wenhao, her eyes slightly opened, and the momentum of a superior burst out: "Because the traitor is someone else, am I right? Team Leader Cui!"
In fact, after the clothing design drawings were leaked, she filtered out all suspicious candidates in her mind and did not suspect Cui Wenhao. After all, Cui Wenhao had worked in Wen's Group for more than ten years and his work performance had always been very good.
Who would have known that after Cui Wenhao learned that she did not know the real traitor, in order to completely clear himself of suspicion, he could not help but push Bai Ling out and let her take the blame, and even involved Nan Nan.
After all, Bai Ling is the most suspicious among all people. If Bai Ling is pushed out, it will be easier for everyone to believe her. If everyone says the same thing, then Bai Ling's innocence will become unclear, and then even she will have to deal with Bai Ling.
Cui Wenhao's heart sank when he saw her sharp gaze. He tried his best to ask calmly, "Miss, what do you mean? Bai Ling is the most suspicious. This is something that everyone in the fashion design department agrees on. If it's not Bai Ling, who else could it be?"
At this moment, Cui Wenhao had a bad feeling in his heart, and the development of things seemed to be out of his control.
Bai Ling is the biggest suspect, so it's only natural to push her out.
Everyone agrees, and it is impossible for the eldest lady to ignore everyone's opinions.
But what the young lady meant was—
Wen Xinya said calmly: "You are the traitor."
Her words were like a bombshell dropped into the fashion design department, shocking everyone to the extreme. They almost subconsciously felt that it was unbelievable.
"How could it be Team Leader Cui..."
"Impossible, Team Leader Cui is a veteran employee of Wen's..."
"Team Leader Cui is serious about his work and is popular in the fashion design department..."
Wen Xinya listened calmly. She was not surprised by everyone's reaction about Cui Wenhao being a traitor.
It was precisely because Cui Wenhao had been running the fashion design department for many years and had extensive connections and good popularity that no one believed he was the traitor, and she had never doubted it.
Therefore, even though she guarded the new costume design drawings of the fashion design department strictly, they were still leaked.
Cui Wenhao's chess piece was indeed buried very deeply in the Wen family.
Cui Wenhao smiled and said, "Miss, you said I was a traitor. Please show us the evidence. Otherwise, it will be hard to convince people with just a few words."
He was very confident that Wen Xinya would never be able to produce any evidence.
Without evidence, it would be impossible to prove that he was a traitor, and Wen Xinya would have no way to deal with him.
Wen Xinya sneered: "Do you think I can't do anything to you without evidence?" She laughed softly, with contempt and sarcasm: "Who do you think you are? Do I need evidence to deal with you?"
When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked.
Even Cui Wenhao showed disbelief: "Miss, you..."
He almost forgot that Wen Xinya never plays by the rules.
Wen Xinya interrupted him, her voice extremely indifferent: "To investigate a traitor, we never need evidence. We would rather kill a hundred people by mistake than let one go. I suspect you are a traitor, and you are the traitor." After she finished speaking, she glanced at the faces of everyone in the fashion design department, her eyes were icy and cold, with an unquestionable and suffocating majesty: "Does anyone have any objection?"
—It is better to kill a hundred people by mistake than to let one person go!
These words were spoken with such domineering and majestic power that no one could dispute them.
Everyone was so frightened by Wen Xinya's words that they dared not say a single word of "no". If they were implicated by accident, they might become one of the people "wrongly killed" by the eldest lady.
At this time, Cui Wenhao finally panicked, sweating profusely: "Miss, I'm not a traitor..."
Wen Xinya didn't listen to his explanation, but said calmly: "Take him away first and interrogate him thoroughly. If he doesn't talk, then let him stay. Feed him one meal a day and don't give him water. I guarantee he will talk in three days."
"You are committing private imprisonment, which is against the law..."
But no one paid attention to his words...
