President, Please Be Careful

“Grandfather, you think too much about this. Do you think I would easily accept a man with a bad record like the husband and father of my son?”

The old man had a teasing smile on his face and looked at Zhao Youlin in a reserved manner. The look on his face was very disturbing.

Zhao Youlin's face was slightly dark. He tried hard to resist the urge to be impolite and beat someone violently. He started to shoot threatening gazes at the old master.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the old master very weakly began to change the subject. "good. We're not gonna talk about this. We're not gonna talk about this. Youlin, how is the investigation about the damage of the elevator?”

Zhao Youlin was a little off guard. Looking at the expression of the old master who turned serious in an instant, his expression also became firm. He frowned and replied, “Uncle Xiao is still investigating. We will probably get some answers in a few days.”

The old man nodded. Zhao Youlin hesitated for a moment, she couldn't help but add, "Grandfather, if .. I mean if this incident has anything to do with some people in the Zhao family, I ..."

The old master raised his eyebrows slightly hearing his words. He looked at Zhao Youlin meaningfully. “It looks like you've been thinking of someone.”

Zhao Youlin slightly furrowed her brows and said conservatively, “This is still a guess. Until I get proof, I will not draw conclusions easily.”

Zhao Youlin had joined the company for only two weeks. He did make some enemies in the company, but there was no way they hated him so much that they wanted him dead.

And only two people had such intentions, one was hospitalized because of him, while the other…

Zhao Youlin's heart sank slightly. Xiao Jingyao bluntly told him that day that the damage to the elevator might not have been an accident, it could have been sabotaged by someone with malicious intentions.

Somehow, the first thing that came to her mind was that day in the grave, the cruel threat that Zhao Youxi had told herself before she left.

He said, "Zhao Youlin, you will die horribly!"

The wrinkled knuckles tapped on the wooden table beside the sofa, making some thumping noises.

The old master pondered for a moment. Then, the corner of his lips suddenly lifted into a sly smile, which Zhao Youlin felt very familiar with. “Lass, were all the requests you made with me when you agreed to join the company just a joke? Is it just for fun?”

Zhao Youlin immediately shuddered. Seeing the old man's annoying and dangerous gaze, he cursed inwardly. Old fox is wiser!

A faint smile appeared on his face. He said slylyly, "I understand."

The old master nodded in satisfaction. The grandfather and granddaughter exchanged understanding smiles.

One had to say that Zhao Youlin's intuition was extremely accurate. On the fourth day after the elevator incident, Xiao Jingyao had found something in the thorough investigation she had conducted.

“General Manager, I have gone through all company supervision thoroughly on that day. In addition, I also found people who were in and out of the elevator maintenance system that day. After a rigorous search, I was basically able to determine that the person who damaged the elevator that day was..”.

Zhao Youlin raised her head from the complicated documents. Seeing Xiao Jingyao's hesitant expression, he furrowed his brows and asked in a cold voice, "Who is that?"

Xiao Jing Yao pursed his lips and hesitantly mentioned the name. "That's Miss Zhao, Zhao Youxi."

She remembered how the elevator fell and broke into pieces that day when she was captured by Mu Tingfeng in time.

If not for Mu Tingfeng's quick reflexes and her catching her hand just in time, would she have ended up like that elevator?

No, maybe even worse than that elevator. After trying to calm his agitated mind, Zhao Youlin raised her head and looked at Xiao Jingyao. He asked calmly, "Did you find any evidence?"

“The surveillance monitor in the building was damaged earlier, so Zhao's actions were not caught.”

Zhao Youlin snorted and said coldly, “It seems like she's not too stupid. However, since you said it was him, there should be other evidence.”

Xiao Jingyao nodded. He wore white gloves before carefully removing the glass bottle filled with orange yellow liquid from the archive pouch.

"This is?" When Zhao Youlin saw the bottle of liquid, a trace of confusion swept her eyes.

“I've tested these items in the lab. It's a super acid. Its acidity is 100 million times stronger than concentrated sulfuric acid. It's very corrosive. He simply estimated the time and put a few drops on top of the elevator cable. Elevator cable will break while running.”

Zhao Youlin stared deeply into the bottle of terrifying liquid that was enough to make people die, even though it was just a small bottle. Then, he gestured for Xiao Jingyao to continue.

“This may be the first time Ms. Zhao took such an action. After he damaged the elevator, he anxiously wanted to get rid of this thing. So, she rushed to the restroom immediately after, probably trying to throw this thing into the toilet. Unfortunately, someone was in the bathroom at the time. And it could be someone she really doesn't want to see. Due to his urgency, he could only throw this thing into the trash outside.”

When Zhao Youlin heard what Xiao Jingyao said, her expression slightly changed. He couldn't help but interrupt, "Who found him in the restroom?"

Xiao Jingyao paused for a moment before she replied. "Mrs President."

"My mother?" Zhao Youlin's face darkened. His eyes, which were fixated on the bottle of liquid in Xiao Jingyao's hands, became even more hostile.

Should he be grateful that Zhao Youxi was not brave enough to hurt an older person? When he thought that Duan Yarong had gone through such dangerous things, a deep fear befell Zhao Youlin, which made him even more determined in the particular decision he had made.

"Yes. Surveillance on the upper floor failed to capture the image of the elevator vandalism by Zhao, but the surveillance below captured the scene of Zhao throwing something away. I also asked someone to check it out. This bottle has Ms's fingerprints. Zhao on it.”

Zhao Yulin pondered for a moment before asking again, "Have you told my father about this matter?"

Xiao Jingyao did not say anything, but Zhao Youlin immediately took her silence as a confession in silence. That makes sense. He was Zhao Shunrong's subordinate from the very beginning. He would report everything to Zhao Shunrong first.

“What did my father say?”

"The president says it's up to you."

"As far as I am." Zhao Yulin glanced meaningfully at the glass bottle in Xiao Jingyao's hand. If he wanted to defeat Zhao Youxi in a single strike and take his chance to turn things around in the Zhao Enterprise, this small bottle was not enough. He had to do something more and make something else to make it work.

It was Zhao Youlin's plan. Although he did not expect that before he could decide when he would find Zhao Youxi's weakness, the latter would come to him alone.
