My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife

"President Yan!"

As Qin Yu just stepped into the decrepit courtyard, the hairs on his back stood on end.

Subconsciously, he grabbed Yan Mingyu's smooth wrist.

"Speak!"

Yan Mingyu's voice was very cold, as she turned to stare at the large hand gripping her wrist.

"Uh...."

After Qin Yu withdrew his "paw," he sheepishly said, "I have an uncomfortable feeling, maybe you shouldn't follow me upstairs."

"Are you sure?"

Although Yan Mingyu was very angry and wanted to catch the person who posted the rumors herself, she still maintained some rationality.

Qin Yu was no coward; the wariness evident on his face suggested that maybe there really were unsafe elements hidden in this factory building.

"Certain!"

Qin Yu nodded with conviction.

Before he was discharged, he had carried out dozens of dangerous missions, large and small. Several times, this prickling sensation had pulled him and his team out of harm's way.

"Fine, I'll wait for you in the car!"

Yan Mingyu nodded, exited the courtyard, and after taking one more look at the room lit with lights, she said, "Be careful yourself!"

"Hmm!"

After Yan Mingyu got into the car, Qin Yu pressed the car key to lock the doors from the outside.

Then, he took a deep breath and strode into the stairwell.

Upon reaching the second floor, not too fast or too slow, he took off his suit jacket and wrapped it around his arm.

Don't ask why?

This was experience accumulated through blood and life during missions.

What if, upon opening the door, you were greeted by a glaring blade or the dark muzzle of a gun?

Having your arm wrapped in thick clothing could at least help block some damage.

"Hmm?"

As Qin Yu approached the doorway, he faintly saw a shiny puddle through the crack under the door.

His thick eyebrows lifted slightly, and he stepped back a few paces.

Spotting a rusty nail on the ground, he picked it up and gently tossed it into the crack.

Crackle....

The rusty nail instantly sparked.

Just as Qin Yu had suspected, the puddle under the door was electrified.

If Qin Yu had carelessly pushed the door open and stepped on that wet spot, he would have definitely been electrocuted to death.

"Hmph, quite the trickster!"

Qin Yu narrowed his eyes, took out a small military knife from his bosom, and directly cut off an electric wire on the wall.

Crackle....

The room immediately plunged into darkness.

Qin Yu found another nail and tossed it into the crack again, but this time there was no anomaly.

"Bang!"

After a fierce kick against the wooden door, Qin Yu swiftly darted inside, protecting his face with the arm wrapped in his suit jacket.

"Slash...."

As the sound of fabric tearing was heard, Qin Yu felt his arm collide with something.

Pulling out his phone, he switched on the flashlight, and saw three gleaming wires, each about sixty to seventy centimeters apart, and about one meter eighty in height in total.

If he hadn't protected his face with the arm wrapped in his suit jacket and had just walked in, the tough yet thin-as-hair steel wires would have surely been able to slice open his throat.

Meanwhile.

Inside the car.

Mingyu was leaning back, biting her lip lightly. Seeing the light in the room go out, her heart also rose in her chest.

She was not some naive, fresh-from-school sweet girl.

Having grown up amidst conspiracies and tricks, she knew all too well the darkness of society.

"He won't be in trouble, right?"

Mingyu felt a twinge of guilt. Had she known the adversary was so cunning, she would have called for more A-class security instead of letting Qin Yu risk it alone.

"....."

Time ticked by second by second.

The room upstairs remained engulfed in darkness, without a single sound.

Could it be that Qin Yu...

Mingyu's heart skipped a beat as she drew out her cellphone, contemplating whether or not to give him a call to ask about the situation.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

But she feared that it might affect his operation.

This anxious waiting made Mingyu feel as if days were as long as years.

Inside the room.

After Qin Yu had removed three wires with a military knife, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the room was empty except for cigarette butts strewn all over the floor and some random magazines, and had been long devoid of people, he knew that it was actually a trap set by the other party.

The person who had posted to smear Mingyu's name had already fled.

Additionally, on the old desktop computer, there was a printed note stuck to it: If we manage to take you down, it just shows you're fools. If not, then the game... has only just begun!

Damn!

Qin Yu cursed under his breath, took the note, and stuffed it into his pocket before finally walking out of the room with the computer's tower in his arms.

"Phew..."

Mingyu saw Qin Yu walk out of the factory gate unharmed and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Once he got into the car, she asked, "What's the situation inside? No one there?"

"Yeah, they ran off a long time ago, it was a trap!"

Qin Yu took the note out of his pocket, handed it to Mingyu, and then shook his sliced suit, beginning to tell her about what had just happened.

"It seems that they don't only want to slander me through rumors, but they even want to kill me!"

Mingyu frowned and said with a cold expression.

"Yeah, with this setup, there's definitely more to come!"

Qin Yu nodded.

"Let's go back first. Have Xiao Meng work overtime to see if there's anything valuable in the tower!"

After Mingyu spoke, she crumpled up the note and threw it out the window.

By the time they returned to the company, it was already 12 a.m.

Xiao Meng was still waiting in the office.

Seeing Qin Yu carry in the computer tower along with Mingyu, Xiao Meng quickly stood up and asked, "President Yan, Assistant Qin, did you catch the person?"

"No!"

Qin Yu shook his head, placing the computer tower on the desk, "Take a look and see if there's anything in here."

"Okay!"

Xiao Meng efficiently connected the computer tower to the company's monitor and started to hammer away at the keyboard.

Minutes later, he looked up at Mingyu and Qin Yu with disappointment and said, "There's nothing, the other party wiped it clean!"

"It can't be recovered?"

Qin Yu frowned and asked.

"...I'm sorry, with my skills, I'm afraid I can't recover it!"

Xiao Meng was silent for a moment before speaking awkwardly.

"Hold on!"

Just after Xiao Meng finished speaking, he slapped his forehead, as if he had just thought of something.

"Got a way?"

Qin Yu and Mingyu asked together.

"I don't, but I know someone even more skilled than me, in the neighboring city. I'll contact him; maybe he has a way!"

Xiao Meng explained.

"Good, help me get in touch with him. As long as he can help us find a clue, money is no object!"

Mingyu nodded and said.

She had promised her family that she would solve this issue within three days. But one whole day had passed, and they were clueless, with all hopes now lying on this tower.

"I'll contact him right away!"

Xiao Meng took out his phone, opened WeChat, and began chatting with the person.

After a minute or two, he put down his phone, appearing somewhat angry as he said, "This guy, he's such a jerk!"

"He... wants a lot of money?"

Qin Yu looked at Xiao Meng, puzzled. Because he hadn't said that the other person couldn't recover the data from the tower.

Instead, he called the other person a jerk, suggesting that the other person must have made an exorbitant demand.

"No, he said..."

Xiao Meng's face turned red and his voice was extremely low, "He wants President Yan to sleep with him!"
