Chapter 382: The Climax! The 100th Year Anniversary Celebration! (2)

Mi Nuo’s words caught Zhuang Nainai by surprise.

She knew what Mi Nuo meant. There was basically irrefutable proof showing that she had stolen the design drafts.

The Gu family had said that she had given them the design drafts back then. Furthermore, she had been caught in the act at the Imperial Group. All the witnesses and evidence clearly showed that she was the culprit. Even if she lacked a motive to do so, she was still the key suspect!

However, if Si Zhengting were to look through her design drafts, he would know that she had been framed.

Would the Imperial Group still sue her then?

That couldn’t be right!

Zhuang Nainai suddenly narrowed her eyes. She had thought of someone!

Mi Nuo’s words echoed beside her ear, “Zhuang Nainai, don’t forget, Si Guangsong is keeping an eye on Mr. Si all the time. If Si Guangsong knows that you’re Mrs. Si, what do you think he’ll do?”

What would he do?

He would definitely try to protect himself first. Protecting his reputation was more important than seeing her go to jail!

Mi Nuo lowered her voice, which was full of sarcasm, “There are only two possible conclusions. Either you had copied TZ, or TZ had copied you instead. Si Guangsong has invited a whole group of reporters to attend tonight’s celebrations. He’ll be launching his strike pre-emptively then. At that point... who do you think Mr. Si will choose to condemn?”

Who would Si Zhengting choose to condemn?!

TZ was the Imperial Group’s lead designer. If her reputation was ruined, the Imperial Group’s reputation would follow.

Zhuang Nainai was clearly aware of how formal the 100th Year Anniversary Celebration was going to be, being an employee in the venue design department.

Even the mayor had been invited. Some high-ranking officials would also be showing up to show their support for the private enterprise.

And Si Guangsong was choosing to announce this matter at this time...

Zhuang Nainai suddenly felt a chill running down her spine.

Mi Nuo continued smiling as she said, “I was just thinking, why didn’t Mr. Si clear your name? He even took the USB flash drive away. In your opinion... regarding how things have turned out, do you really think that he can still clear your name?”

Whether he would still clear her name?

The matter had already escalated to its climax. If her name was cleared, it would mean that Si Jingyu had plagiarized her work instead. But Si Jingyu represented the Imperial Group! If her name was cleared, the Imperial Group’s reputation... would be in tatters.

Zhuang Nainai clenched her fists, her body shaking uncontrollably.

Mi Nuo continued, “By making you the sacrificial lamb, Mr. Si will be able to demonstrate how selfless the Imperial Group is. Furthermore, stealing a set of design drafts is not such a serious crime. You’d only be behind bars for one and a half years at most. Mr. Si can just pull some strings then to suspend the sentence. Which of the two choices would he make, in your opinion?”

Which choice he would make?

Any person would know what kind of choice he would make!

Was the Imperial Group’s reputation more important than the reputation of a lowly employee like her?

Zhuang Nainai bit her lips.

Mi Nuo patted her shoulders. “So, I would advise you to flee before the celebrations start tonight. You still have some time.”

Flee...

Flee?

Zhuang Nainai suddenly felt the whirring in her brain coming to a standstill.

She couldn’t go to jail.

Her mother was still abroad. Although Gu Deshou had said that he would allow her to return, she couldn’t trust Gu Deshou’s character! He had claimed that she had one remaining week of treatment, but she doubted it. He was trying to keep a tight hold over her mother in order to control Zhuang Nainai’s actions.

Zhuang Nainai knew that she would truly be a fool if she were to trust Gu Deshou at this moment in time.

She wanted to leave the country to search for her mother. She couldn’t go to jail.

This thought multiplied in her mind frantically before it took over all other thoughts at the forefront of her mind.

However, Si Zhengting’s figure suddenly appeared.

A few thoughts flashed past Zhuang Nainai’s mind.
