I Really Didn’t Want to Increase My Favorability!

Chapter 122

After returning to the vicinity of the scam company, Qin Yunhe suddenly thought of something.

Xu Lin was right; the company didn’t seem significant from the outside.

However, appearing ordinary on the surface didn’t add up; there must be hidden areas.

Both individuals emerged from a secret door, indicating hidden spaces.

Moreover, all the shops nearby were developed by the same owner, appearing similar from the outside, so the interiors likely shared similarities.

Her eyes shifted, spotting a women’s clothing store nearby.

Upon entering and pretending to browse clothes, she began to observe her surroundings.

Without thorough exploration, she noticed something amiss: the first floor on the other side was visibly smaller.

The size of that lobby was only half the size of this side’s first floor.

That should be where their gang really ‘works’.”

In the afternoon, as long as I see the facial features of the person behind the scenes, I can lead the team to execute the arrest tomorrow. The three little kings and the big king won’t be able to escape!

Then, she circled around a few more times, basically confirming the size of the hidden door space in the office, as well as the space below.

Leaving the shop, she felt more confident, heading towards that dark hideout.

Hopefully, this time, her colleagues won’t accuse her of slacking off.

Back at the office, on the 2nd floor, a female team leader warmly approached her and handed her a bottle of drink, saying it’s a company perk.

But Qin Yunhe was afraid of what might be inside and didn’t drink it, humbly seeking advice on work matters.

At 2 o’clock in the afternoon, work resumed, and everyone started to busy themselves, occasionally discussing things, just like a normal company.

She gleaned from the recording that on the surface, the colleagues on the second floor seemed fine.

This was the company’s basic strategy, pushing a group out every month, gradually ensnaring them in their conspiracy.

The first month, they were just ordinary marketing account editors. The second month, through inducement and intimidation, they gradually transformed them into insiders.

Some of these people come out to be team leaders, stabilize the newcomers, while the rest enter the inner circle, forced to become scammers to work.

The high salary that Xu Lin mentioned, it’s probably necessary to become an insider to get that money.

Xu Lin really should have asked that Lu Man more clearly about the intelligence.

Fortunately, she had an unexpected gain, so now it’s just a matter of waiting to see when that hidden boss will appear.

The whole afternoon she waited, but she didn’t see anyone appear. Her whole face drooped, and people around thought she was tired, so they gave her chocolate to eat.

“Take a break when you’re tired. Our internship lasts for a month, and it’s not that hard to get hired full-time. You just need to write six articles a day, no rush.”

“Mm.”

Qin Yunhe nodded, feeling sympathetic towards the young people outside who seemed to be struggling. They obviously secured an office job and then worked hard to become a permanent staff.

But upon becoming a full-time employee, however, they will find themselves unwittingly becoming part of a fraudulent scheme, turning into criminals. Even the money earned from the marketing work will end up lining the fraudulent company’s pocket.

Some would even be swayed by the lure of profit, transitioning from mere accomplices to active participants in the crimes.

Half an hour later, she finished copying several news articles and sent them out, pretending to still have work left unfinished, and continued to slack off.

Since there was no reason to enter the office in the afternoon, she couldn’t install new listening devices. But at that moment, the discussion of two people nearby suddenly caught her attention.

“Hey, can we write about that local incident as news?”

“What incident?”

“The one where the tiger escaped.”

“Many legitimate news outlets have already covered it. Is there a need for our entertainment article?”

“Of course, there’s something worth writing about. For instance, there was this miraculous event where a female police officer stood there, and the tiger just lay down!”

“Is it true?”

“It is, many people saw it with their own eyes. Later, the female officer even hugged the tiger, there are photos, but they’re quite blurry.”

Photos?

Qin Yunhe’s heart trembled for a moment. Although she changed her attire and put on makeup, she didn’t completely transform.

Moreover, her skin color was distinctive; not many people had her complexion. Even if the picture was blurry, she was still at risk!

Instantly, she became vigilant, but she couldn’t make any sudden movements.

The more nervous and uneasy you appeared, the more suspicious you seemed.

At that time the team leader walked over and said, “Don’t write about this. I won’t say whether it has clicks or not, but involving the police isn’t good. Let’s not write about it.”

“Okay.”

Upon hearing the sound from the other side, she also took a deep breath, and then the door of the nearby office opened, and a slender young man walked out.

The team leader hurried over and started chatting with the other person. After listening to the voice, it was basically confirmed that the other person was Qian Wan.

Now that he’s come out, could it be to greet the backstage financier?

Suddenly, she decided to take a risk. If she missed this opportunity, she would really miss out.

She immediately stood up and walked to the smiling team leader. “I want to go to the restroom, where is it?”

“Downstairs, shall I take you there?”

“I’ll manage on my own.”

“Alright, it’s straight ahead on the right side of the reception.”

“Thank you.”

She walked downstairs at a leisurely pace, with the slender young man following closely behind, which made her feel a bit nervous.

As she reached the ground floor, preparing to go to the restroom, he continued to follow her.

Suddenly, it dawned on her that maybe he was just going to the restroom too? But as she entered the restroom, before she even sat down, she realized, comparing it to other shops, that there was a hidden area behind this restroom.

But it seemed the entrance was on the men’s side.

Should she wait and catch him today, or should she inform the authorities and let them handle it?

Though she wanted to make a breakthrough to earn her father’s recognition, she also didn’t want this fraudulent company to continue operating.

It had deceived many people, including young workers here, leading to more victims each day.

After hesitating for a while, she approached the sink to wash her hands, and Qian Wan also emerged and nodded at her.

“Still adjusting?”

“I’m doing okay, and you are?”

“I’m the boss here, Qian Wan.”

“Hello, Mr. Qian!”

“Work hard. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to approach us.”

“Okay.”

As they finished, a male voice came from the entrance, “Delivery, where should I put it?”

“Whose delivery is it?”

Qian Wan, who had been smiling moments ago, suddenly turned serious, shouted something towards the outside, then quickly walked out.

“This is my delivery. Could you please take it up to the office upstairs?”

“Sure.”

“Thank you.”

Qin Yunhe leisurely flicked off some water, listening to the conversation outside. A line in her mind suddenly straightened!

“The delivery guy?!?”

She hurriedly walked towards the exit, her right hand brushing against her waist, handcuffs and extendable baton at the ready.

“Okay, don’t panic! Qin Yunhe, you’ve got this!”

Arriving downstairs, she spotted a man in a delivery uniform slowly carrying a box towards the building.

Her pace slowed down, leisurely approaching, but the more she looked, the more familiar the figure seemed…

“I’ll open the door for you and put it in the office.”

Just as Qian Wan said this, the delivery guy turned in a direction, and their eyes instantly met.

Qin Yunhe’s eyes widened in shock, a bewildered expression appeared on her face.

How could it be him?

Jia Qing?!
