Supervisor Xu had thought that Ji Nuan was a wealthy young lady used to being spoiled from a young age, that she had only bought two companies because she had money lying around and that she would only show up occasionally to have a few meetings, to fire a few people, and to put on the act of a boss. She had thought that aside from doing those things, she would be almost the same as Han Tianyuan—trash.

Yet, the words Ji Nuan spoke next caused Supervisor Xu to lose the composure she had been maintaining instantly.

“Did you think that just because I don’t come to the company, I don’t understand the company’s situation? I have eyes, and I will use them to check and to see. Even if you are the finance supervisor, you most likely won’t be able to recite the analyses of the company’s monthly financial situation for the past year by memory, but I can!”

Supervisor Xu knitted her brows and was in disbelief.

Ji Nuan coldly eyed her. “Where every portion of the money has gone, I’m aware of it all. These thirty million yuan of liquid money were already transferred away a month ago. This occurrence, did you think I was unaware of it?”

Supervisor Xu’s eyes reddened a little. She took in a deep breath and did her best to continue masking her emotions.

“Supervisor Xu, do you believe it? From the first day I came here, I’ve already been paying attention to you. I’ve been waiting; waiting for you to finally become impatient,” Ji Nuan said mildly while at the same time, she reached into her bag to remove her handphone and a data line. She connected her phone to the computer on the desk.

Not long after, the computer displayed an indescribable video footage. It was accompanied by the various unrestrained sounds of a man and woman immersed in passion.

The moment she saw the video displayed on the computer, Supervisor Xu turned to look at Ji Nuan. Her face had turned white in an instant. “Why would you have…”

“You took the opportunity while the company’s representative went off for the handover and made use of the excuse that the company’s finance was in deficit to misappropriate that thirty-million-yuan worth of liquid funds. This is a crime of theft.” Ji Nuan crossed her arms and lightly sat by the desk. Her tone was unhurried and carried thin coldness. “And today, you borrowed the opportunity when CEO Jin came to create trouble. Your goal was not just to shift the blame off of yourself, but to create animosity between CEO Jin and me. After all, even if I lost hold of my studio, I would still have the support of the Ji family and the Mo family. You wanted to make use of me to get rid of CEO Jin, am I right?”

Supervisor Xu’s eyes at this moment widened. She stared at Ji Nuan as though she was some sort of strange creature.

She could not believe this, how on earth did she manage to find out?

Ji Nuan caught the panic in Supervisor Xu’s eyes, and with a wealth of coldness, her exquisite five facial features instantly turned elegantly and magnificently frigid. “CEO Jin’s husband has slept with you before. The two of you are so passionate, so vigorous in energy that you would even visit a low standard, small hotel. Otherwise, such a video would really be difficult to obtain.”

Ji Nuan took a look at the image the video was paused at. The man and woman were both bare and intertwined. Their faces were also very clearly depicted on screen.

She then took another glance at Supervisor Xu, who had frozen into a statue. Ji Nuan coldly said, “CEO Jin’s husband is rich and influential. His looks are not bad as well. You’re infatuated with him and are unable to free yourself from it. You plan to swallow up this sum of money and leave the studio. What you want even more is to spread your wings and take off with CEO Jin’s husband. And so, you wanted to make use of my money to get rid of her. If my studio were to be taken down in court by her, my revenge would definitely drive her to her death. This way, it would be even more in line with your wishes. Killing two birds with one stone; it’s really ingenious, ah.”

When Supervisor Xu spoke again, her voice was quivering slightly. She was no longer able to hold onto her composure. “You, you… Miss Ji, what exactly do you want?”

“Do you admit to these?” Ji Nuan asked her back with sharp eyes.

“What exactly do you need to delete that footage?!” Supervisor Xu did not dare to look at the image displayed on the screen. Her eyes were red, and she lost hold over her emotions.

“I won’t say any additional nonsense to you—”Ji Nuan smoothly turned off the computer to avoid burning her own eyes any further. She kept her phone and unhurriedly said, “That you’re willing to be someone else’s third party is none of my business. I won’t interfere with your love life either. But the thirty million yuan you’ve taken from here must immediately be returned. Right now.”

Supervisor Xu glared at her, and with a pale expression, she suddenly said, “That money had already been transferred overseas. I can’t take it out right now!”

Almost at the very moment when she finished her words, Ji Nuan brought out a recording pen from her bag.

“You can choose not to return it. CEO Jin is not wrong. I, Ji Nuan, am really not lacking in these thirty million yuan,” Ji Nuan disapprovingly said. “Every word you said earlier has already been recorded. Whatever has been recorded here will already be backed up on my laptop as well. As long as the police shows up and I hand this over, there is no need for me to fret further. Not only will the money be chased down, even your shameless act of interfering in someone else’s marriage will be revealed to the police. When that happens, I fear that CEO Jin and her husband will both not let you off…”

Supervisor Xu trembled from head to toe. She stared at that recording pen, and after deliberating for a while, she finally spoke with bloodshot eyes and a husky voice, “If I hand over the money, can you… delete both the recording and the video?”

Ji Nuan kept the phone and recording pen back in her bag. Her gaze was calm and seemed unperturbed even by waves.

“Low class, greedy, and stupid.” Ji Nuan’s voice was extremely chilly. “With your intelligence, if you had stayed on the right path, you would surely have risen very quickly. Yet, for the sake of a man with a family, you’ve ruined yourself to this stage. And for the sake of a mere thirty million yuan, you were actually willing to offend the law! As someone who works in finance, you should be used to how money flows like water. Aren’t you clear on how many people have looked up to these luxuries and reputation, and how many people have been brought down because of it.”

Supervisor Xu painfully bit down on her lip. She first cried where she stood and then fell, sitting, on the ground as she cried. She stared at Ji Nuan with fear and wariness.

“Where’s the money?” Ji Nuan asked. She no longer wished to waste any more time.

Supervisor Xu hesitated for a moment. She initially did not want to hand it over, but she then glanced over at Ji Nuan’s bag with worry.

The phone and recording pen in that bag could ruin her completely…

She very slowly took out a bank card with the symbol of the Philippines. “In here…”

Ji Nuan walked over to receive it. She glanced at it.

“Ah, so you still knew to transfer it to a Filipino bank. This sort of international transfers is indeed challenging to investigate. Having such scheming thoughts—spit, spit—you’ve really ruined your own future.”

After hearing these words, Supervisor Xu covered her face and cried. She then stared at Ji Nuan’s bag pleadingly, as though she really wanted to destroy the recording pen and video instantly.

“I won’t interfere in your dirty relationship. But the use of the company’s money will definitely be passed onto the police’s hands.” Ji Nuan backed away from her, saying, “I still have to resolve CEO Jin’s issue. I don’t have time to waste with you here. Wait for the police to come on your own.”

Ji Nuan opened the door to leave and had one of the studio’s security guard stand by the door. This was to avoid the supervisor from running away and stirring up even more unnecessary trouble.

The moment she stepped into her office, she saw that CEO Jin’s legs were crossed. Her gaze was directed toward Ji Nuan in provocation as though waiting to see Ji Nuan return with no results.
