"Yes, sir!" Chen Xiao has investigated a lot of people, so a task like this was easy for him. Two hours was more than enough!

---

After eating dinner, Chen Xiao's email came. Gu Yechen put down his chopsticks and clicked open the document Chen Xiao sent.

There was an image and next to it, there was a list of all the information.

Yu Lin

Age: 38 years old

'Joined the He Corporation when she was 23, right after Bai Jiawei took over the company completely. Married 5 years ago to Zhang Qiwei.'

Zhang Qiwei

Age: 43 years old

'Jobless. Drunkard.'

There was a long list of information about Yu Lin, including all the schools she went to, her grade reports, family members, and more.

Finally, at the very end, Gu Yechen came across an important piece of information.

'Currently 6 months pregnant with her first baby.'

Gu Yechen raised one eyebrow and showed it to He Xinyan, who was equally surprised.

"Pregnant?!" Manager Yu did not look pregnant at all. Well, He Xinyan never really paid attention to her stomach, but it wasn't noticeable.

The He Corporation's rules were that pregnant women couldn't continue working after 7 months of pregnancy, partially because they wanted the mom to prepare for labor and also because of the complications about taking responsibility if anything happened to the baby while working.

During the maternity leave, the company would give 10 weeks of salary.

The pregnant woman was supposed to tell the company about their pregnancy no later than when they are 5 months pregnant, but He Xinyan has not heard anything about Manager Yu's pregnancy.

She thinks that Bai Jiawei also didn't know. . .

He Xinyan knit her eyebrows together. Was Manager Yu trying to hide it?

If she was caught, the result. . .

He Xinyan was very shocked with this new piece of information, as she would have never guessed this.

He Xinyan couldn't help but feel pity for manager Yu although she didn't like her.

It was very unfortunate for a woman to get caught up with a bad husband, and it was horrible that the task of providing and taking care of the family was all on manager Yu's shoulders.

However, that didn't mean He Xinyan wouldn't put this information to good use. After all, if Li Yuyan could use lowly methods, why couldn't she do the same?

He Xinyan wasn't some nice or pure person. Two can play at that game.

The next day, He Xinyan went to work early and sat down in her spot, waiting for her target to show up.

Luckily, manager Yu came to work early, and she arrived before Li Yuyan. Several of the workers greeted manager Yu politely, and He Xinyan also watched her closely as she walked past.

Manager Yu did wear very loose clothes and if not looking closely, it was very difficult to realize the small bump on her stomach. Even if you did notice, she could just say she was getting fat.

He Xinyan sighed before getting up from her chair and walked over to manager Yu's office. She knocked and entered only after hearing a voice say, 'Come in.'

Manager Yu was slightly surprised to see that it was He Xinyan, and she cleared her throat before saying, "He Xinyan, what are you doing here?"

He Xinyan sat down in the chair across from manager Yu without invitation and smiled. She was holding a black file folder, and she placed it onto her lap, tapping the cover with her fingers.

"Manager Yu, I think you know perfectly well that the report yesterday was mine. It wasn't a mistake." He Xinyan wasn't asking her, she was telling her.

Manager Yu straightened her back a little, "What do you mean? It was a mistake."

He Xinyan stared into Yu Lin's eyes for a few seconds before leaning back against her chair with a grin, "I don't think so. I think. . . that Li Yuyan gave you some money so you two are together now, and you are purposely helping her and pushing me down."

Manager Yu couldn't hide the shock that flashed past her eyes, but she still tried to stay calm.

"What do you mean, He Xinyan? You can't accuse me like that." Yu Lin frowned.

"Am I accusing you?" He Xinyan asked as her smile disappeared. She didn't want to use the pregnancy information to blackmail Yu Lin unless she absolutely had to.

If manager Yu could just admit now, there would be no need for any future problems!

However, manager Yu was persistent, "Yes, you are, and this is not the way you should treat your boss. I would not receive a bribe from my worker."

He Xinyan raised one eyebrow, "Oh, really? Then why did she go into your office yesterday, and why did her bank account suddenly lose so much money at once."

He Xinyan was lying by now. She didn't actually know if Li Yuyan's bank account lost money, but she wanted to place this bet.

Manager Yu gulped. She didn't think that He Xinyan would know, and definitely not figure it out so fast! However, she couldn't back down.

"So what if I am working with Li Yuyan? You can't do anything about it!"

He Xinyan sighed and finally decided to open the file folder.

She pulled out a piece of paper, which was the hospital record of Yu Lin's pregnancy check-ups. Then, there was an image of the ultrasound taken of her baby.

Once manager Yu saw the pictures, her face paled and her mouth fell open in shock.

"This. . . This - How do you have this?!"

"That doesn't matter. Manager Yu, you have been in the company for a long time. I think you should know that pregnant women over 7 months can't continue working. You are 6 months pregnant already, and my dad still doesn't know about it."

Manager Yu gulped nervously, "I. . . I can't go on maternity leave for that long! I need the salary, or else how will I pay for my baby's expenses and everything! My husband -"

Yu Lin seemed to have noticed that she said too much, and she quickly shut her mouth.

He Xinyan smiled, "Manager Yu, I'm not here to threaten you or anything. I just want to make a deal."
