"You're saying that this Wang Danrou is actually a spy!" Huang He said, deep in thought, while sitting on Leng Zhiruo's bed. xxs壹贰
Although Huang He had a keen sense that something was off about Wang Danrou, he only had suspicions, believing deep down that Wang Danrou had a seven or eight percent chance of not being a spy.
But then he was proven completely wrong; Wang Danrou was indeed a spy.
"Brother-in-law, who do you think this Wang Danrou is a spy for?" Leng Zhiruo asked, scratching her head. "What kind of boss would send their sister-in-law to be a spy!"
"Yes, this Brother Ma is truly asking for it!" Huang He nodded in agreement.
"Huh? Brother-in-law, are you saying that Brother Ma is behind this Wang Danrou?" Leng Zhiruo exclaimed.
"It's basically him. After all, there were only two companies with the motive to compete with us for the acquisition of Lianzhong: Tengda and Shanda. However, Shanda had no prior competition with us, so he wouldn't bother sending his sister-in-law as a spy so early. Only Tengda would do such a thing."
"Moreover, Lianzhong Games is indeed extremely important to Tengda, because if they can bring Lianzhong Games into their fold, Tengda can significantly alleviate its profit pressure!" Huang He analyzed accurately.
"Then I'll go and capture this traitor and teach her a good lesson!" Leng Zhiruo said angrily.
"Don't. What would you catch her for? What good would it do?" Huang He rolled his eyes. "Are you going to send her to the police station? China doesn't even have a crime of commercial espionage, only infringement of commercial secrets. But to sentence someone for this crime, it requires that our company has suffered significant losses. Has she caused us any losses yet?"
"Well, no..." Leng Zhiruo shook her head. In fact, Wang Danrou had not only caused no losses to the company so far, but she had also made significant contributions, sending two parasites to jail.
"That's the point. If you send her to the police station now, it will only alert the enemy and achieve nothing else," Huang He said.
"Then I'll just capture her and beat her up!" Leng Zhiruo said indignantly.
"Oh, in that case, she can go to the police station and accuse us of assault, and you'll be locked up immediately. Is that a worthwhile deal?" Huang He rolled his eyes, and Leng Zhiruo stuck out her tongue.
"Besides, if this matter is reported to the police, then our planting of listening devices in her room won't be hidden either, and we'll be the ones who are guilty!" Huang He said.
"So, does that mean I have no other option but to fire her?" Leng Zhiruo was completely dejected.
"Well, not necessarily!" To her surprise, Huang He shook his head and smiled. "If we didn't know she was a spy, she would indeed be infinitely harmful. But now that she's exposed, such a person can, in turn, become a pawn we can use!"
"Actually, I intended to set a trap to lure the enemy this time. I was just worried about what to do if the opponent didn't fall for it. But then this Wang Danrou came along, and she perfectly completed the unstable part of my plan!" Huang He chuckled. "Zhiruo, don't worry, I'll make that Brother Ma guy lose both his wife and his soldiers!"
"Lose both his wife and his soldiers?" Leng Zhiruo's expression stiffened, and she revealed a twisted smile. "I think it's not losing his wife and soldiers, but losing his sister-in-law and soldiers!"
"Zhiruo, what are you saying?" Huang He said seriously. "I've never been interested in other people's sisters-in-law. I'm only interested in my own sister-in-law!"
"What did you say?" Leng Zhiruo's face instantly turned half red.
"Zhiruo, tell me, what's going on?" Huang He's hand unconsciously reached over from behind, encircling Leng Zhiruo's slender waist, and he said in a mischievous tone, "Zhiruo, don't you find it strange? It's a matter that could be resolved over the phone, so why did I specifically come from home to chat with you here?"
"Ah!" Leng Zhiruo was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips and said, "I don't know!"
"Of course, it's because my dear Zhiruo has never given me a reason to enter your home!" Huang He said, with one hand starting to wander.
"Brother-in-law, you can't do this. You're my brother-in-law..." Leng Zhiruo's voice was a little weak.
"Good Zhiruo, have you considered what I told you last time? Let's get married. Brother-in-law is sincere!" Huang He was indeed as sincere as he could possibly be at this moment.
"No, it's too soon to get married. I haven't even dated anyone!" Leng Zhiruo said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's.
"Fine, then let's date first. You can get married after you've had enough dating!" Huang He said, and then he pounced.

"What's going on next door?" That evening, Wang Danrou, who was still painstakingly collecting information, suddenly heard some unusual noises from the adjacent room. She had been living there for over a week and had never heard such noises.
And the sound was very strange, as if someone's mouth was covered, making a humming sound.
The sound continued for quite a while, making Wang Danrou very frightened. She thought to herself, "Did a thief break in here?"
But she was also worried about Leng Zhiruo, so she bravely went to knock on the door to ask what was happening. However, the sound inside stopped. After a while, Leng Zhiruo spoke, saying she had a nightmare and that the sound had come from her dream, which finally put Wang Danrou at ease, and she returned to prepare her materials.
"It's all your fault. Don't you know someone's in the next room?" Leng Zhiruo said reproachfully, leaning in Huang He's arms.
"They were calling for you, not me. How can you blame me!" Huang He stretched his body, looking satisfied.
"You scoundrel, hurry up and leave! What am I supposed to do if people from the company see you here in the morning!" Leng Zhiruo started to chase him away.
"That's a strange thing to say. I'm their boss, and your brother-in-law. Is there anything wrong with me showing up here? If I'm inspecting their work, do they dare to have any objections?" Huang He said fiercely.
"Forget it. When have you ever appeared at our company before 10 AM?" Leng Zhiruo said dismissively.
"Then I'll stay here until after 10 AM. You go to work first. When the floor is empty, I'll come out of the elevator, and no one will know where I came from!" Huang He said.
"You really don't want to leave?" Leng Zhiruo said.
"Silly girl!" Huang He pinched Leng Zhiruo's nose. "This is your first time after all. How can I leave you alone to spend the night at this time? Am I that much of a scoundrel?"
"Hmph!" Leng Zhiruo hummed softly and fell silent. The two of them entered a rare period of peace.
During this peace, Leng Zhiruo began to recall the events that had just transpired, and suddenly remembered something Huang He had said: "I've never been interested in other people's sisters-in-law. I'm only interested in my own sister-in-law!"
"That statement is incorrect!" Leng Zhiruo muttered. "Even if he's not interested in other people's sisters-in-law, he has as many as five sisters-in-law!"
Thinking of this, Leng Zhiruo was immediately filled with panic and vigilance. Just as she was about to question Huang He about whether he had any other intentions towards her sisters, she realized that Huang He had already fallen fast asleep.
This man who had just said he would accompany her for the first night was now blissfully dreaming.
"A man's mouth is a lying ghost!" Leng Zhiruo said resentfully, but she didn't bother Huang He further, nor did she have the heart to wake him up. Instead, she continued to lose herself in thought.
"Wait, as an older sister, I was worried about my younger sisters snatching my brother-in-law!" Leng Zhiruo muttered to herself. "But he's also my brother-in-law. Is my sister watching me from heaven, watching me steal her man!"
Thinking of this, Leng Zhiruo was startled, and her body involuntarily began to tremble.
——————————
"Danrou, have you prepared the materials I asked you to?" At 9 AM the next morning, Leng Zhiruo asked Wang Danrou.
"I've prepared them!" Wang Danrou obediently handed over the materials. Leng Zhiruo took a look and was once again surprised by Wang Danrou, as these materials were collected very comprehensively. It would have been impossible to achieve this in just one night.
"You've worked hard!" Leng Zhiruo said faintly.
"Not at all, hehe..." In fact, this document had nothing to do with Wang Danrou. After hearing the strange noises last night, Wang Danrou's mind was completely in a mess, and she had no intention of preparing the materials, thinking about all sorts of things. Helplessly, Wang Danrou had to send a QQ message to Brother Ma for help, and Brother Ma gave Wang Danrou the materials collected by his company regarding Lianzhong Games to hand in.
So, this document was actually the result of Tengda's entire business department's collection over several months, and Wang Danrou had simply compiled a concise report, which was naturally very rich.
"Let's go..." Leng Zhiruo nodded and started to walk. But suddenly she clutched her stomach and took a few steps back, sitting uncomfortably on Wang Danrou's office chair.
"What's wrong, President Ruo?" Wang Danrou asked in a panic.
"It's nothing, it's just... that time of the month! Let me sit here for a bit and rest!" Leng Zhiruo had already thought of a perfect excuse.
Well, this reason was flawless.
"Then I'll go get you a cup of hot water!" Wang Danrou quickly went to do so, while Leng Zhiruo's gaze fell on Wang Danrou's computer. The child hadn't shut it down yet, and the computer was still on.
The QQ penguin was still in the taskbar, looking at Leng Zhiruo with a silly smile.
