"It is as you expected. Everything is going according to plan. I cannot believe it," Deng Meili informed the other person on the phone.
"You better get used to it. Anyone who wants to stand in my way would face something similar," the voice informed her.
"Noted ma."
"Good, keep me informed about any changes."
"I will."

Following Li Jing’s lead, both ladies stepped out of the office and pretended as though nothing was going in then made their way to the elevator and entered.
Although they ignored Deng Meili, the corner of their eyes were fixed on her. Rather than pressing the number of the floor they were really going to, Li Jing pressed number one and went straight to the down floor. She knew her assistant would follow her to tail her movement and report where she was going via the number showing on the elevator.
Unfortunately for her, Li Jing was a step ahead of her and did not fall prey to such. It was when they got to floor one that she quickly change it to the real floor number she was going to.
"You are smart, Li Jing, Yin Lifen praised her. It was as though she knew such an incident would soon happen and she planned in advance for it.
In no time they were already at the control room, then they went over to the CCTV footage room.
"So which one are we searching?" Yin Lifen asked.
"From the very beginning. It may take time but sigh... I have all day to preview them all. I would leave no tape unwatched. Please get the tapes from last two weeks Monday."
Quickly one of the men there stood up to attend to her and went to fetch the tape. By the time he found them, she brought them to Li Jing and waited.
"No need you can go. Get back to other things and do not concern yourself with me."
"Yes, ma."
"Better. Now, Fen Fen, time to work."
She pulled a chair and sat down in front of the TV screen and began to watch.
They carried on for hours, watching each and every plate of the happenings around her office.
It was easy to narrow things down as the only people that had access to that file, for now, was ]herself and her secretary.
So by the time they had watched so much and could not find anything suspicious, Yin Lifen was already too tired to want to continue.
"Li Jing, what if that is not the case anymore? What if she did nothing to betray you?"
"Are you tired, Fen Fen?" Li Jing asked, her gaze still focused on the TV screen.
"Not that. I do not want you wasting time you would have used to figure other things to be watching this."
"I understand your point of view my dear, but in truth just calm down. My suspicions have been on her since but I said nothing. I would not want her to just think I have my eyes on her, she would then stop most of her activities and be careful."
"True."
"So, therefore, I need to think back for anybody that had been suspicious and found close to our office this past week. If I can recall any such person then perhaps I can move to that particular day and check from there."
"Good thinking, Li Jing. So who now..."
As they were talking, Li Jing suddenly recalled something and paused, raising her hand to stop Yin Lifen from talking.
"Li Jing, did you remember something?"
"Yes, wait a minute. There is someone that I noticed was acting suspiciously here a few days back."
"Seriously? Who?"
"Hmm, my aunties really are so shortsighted. Tsk, to think that they would use my second cousin, Lin Jingyi to do the deed."
’How do you mean?" Yin Lifen asked.
"Some days ago, as I was returning from one of our evening meetings, I met my second cousin, Lin Jingyi rushing from my office side and we almost bumped into each other around the bend leading to the elevator."
"Wow."
"yeah, the way he was, his body trembling a little bit, it was like he was mega shocked to have found me there but he tried to compose himself and when I asked why he was in such a hurry, he said that he came visiting but then he got a call from home that his mother was rushed to the hospital, so he was leaving."
"Hmm, did you confirm to see if his mother really was in the hospital?" Yin Lifen asked.
"Tsk, I didn’t."
"Why? He was looking suspicious yet you didn’t push through with it?"
"Yes, for a certain reason. Why should I have bothered when I knew it was a lie. I ignored him because whatever he was going to do would be captured on camera and if it wasn’t he cannot have access to my office except my assistant who is the only other person that has access to it, gives him the key."
"Terrible. Li Jing meaning..."
’Meaning, she still has a role to play in all this, be it as a mole, a pawn, a side accomplice or a scapegoat. I cannot let her go scot-free. But then again, I made sure during meetings, she is there with me too, that way, she cannot be extra wise in my absence but if he still managed to find his way in, then he would find nothing."
"Nothing?" Yin Lifen looked taken aback by her words. "Nothing, you say?"
"Yes, nothing."
"But I thought that the files were in your system and hers."
"Yes and no. If one was to check my office system, what they would find would be nothing detailed about my work but then again, if you were to check hers, you would find the detailed version, Ever since, no..."
"What is it this time, Li Jing?"
"Even before Li Xiu tried to blackmail me into the thief that she was, I already was smart enough not to be so trusting of people around me," Li Jing informed her friend.
Trust was one thing and she learnt the bitter way that the people around her wasn’t to be trusted so much. Both she and Ye Cheng did.
