Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Chapter 1817 - Is Bai Ling a Traitor?

Chapter 1817: Is Bai Ling a Traitor?

At this moment, just like how Wen Xinya and Cao Zixing expected, the news of the spy in the fashion design department had already become known to everyone in the Wen Corporation. Everyone was astonished.
“I didn’t expect there to actually be a traitor from the Li Corporation in the Wen Corporation’s fashion design department. Oh my god, it’s terrible. I wonder if our department has a traitor?”
“Yeah, it’s terrible. Whenever I think about how the friends and colleagues around us may be traitors from other companies, I feel uncomfortable.”
“What’s more frightening is that even when I bring a file to the toilet, I am afraid of being suspected of being a traitor. It felt like countless weird eyes are staring at me in the dark.”
“I tell you, I don’t know why, but since the traitor news came out, I think everyone around me is being sneaky, and I dare not speak to them.”
“Oh, me too…”
“Me too…”
“This time with the fashion design department traitor, the company will probably be mobilized to investigate him. At that time, I don’t know what it will be like. I’m afraid I will be implicated.”
“Sigh, this is hard to say. When my sister’s company was investigating traitors, almost every department of the company was affected. Hundreds of people were involved and fired by the company. My sister said that most of them were innocent.”
“When it comes down to internal traitors, it is always better to kill a hundred by mistake than let a spy go unnoticed. I estimate that our company’s investigation of internal traitors this time will probably involve a lot of people. After all… when Wen Haowen was in charge of the company, the company’s problems were always out of the ordinary.”
“Ah, what should I do? I finally entered a large company like the Wen Corporation. After a three-month internship period, I signed a full-time, two-year newcomer contract and finally got into the company. If I get involved, won’t I lose my job?”
“When troubleshooting traitors, the newcomers are always the first to go. We haven’t been in the company for a long time, have little experience, and have no background. Even if we are implicated, firing us is not a big deal for the company. It’s just a matter of recruiting for them.”
Everyone feared that the investigation of traitors would involve themselves.

At this moment, Wen Xinya had returned to the Fashion Design Department.
The fashion design department had become a mess because of the traitor. Everyone blamed each other, distrusted each other, and were noisy.
“Missy, who is the traitor in our fashion design department?” Cui Wenhao, the team leader of the fashion design department, asked indignantly.
Cui Wenhao had been in the fashion design department for more than ten years. He was promoted to the position of team leader of the fashion design department four years ago. Although he had no outstanding design talents, he was stable and helpful and was popular in the fashion design department. As the team leader, there were no errors in his work.
He was regarded as an old employee of the Wen Corporation.
Cui Wenhao’s words aroused everyone’s curiosity, and inquiries rang out one after another.
Wen Xinya shook her head and said, “I don’t know. What I said at the press conference about luring out the traitors was actually a bluff. But the clothing design drawings were leaked, so there is no doubt that there are traitors in the fashion design department.”
Wen Xinya’s words shocked everyone present.
They did not expect that this traitor was still lurking among them.
This was simply terrifying.
For a moment, everyone panicked.
At this moment, Cui Wenhao said, “Before the final version was confirmed, the design drawings of the new costume were kept by Bai Ling. No one except Bai Ling had access to these design drawings.”
After speaking, Cui Wenhao’s sharp eyes shot to Bai Ling, as if implying that Bai Ling was the spy.
Bai Ling turned pale and shook her head subconsciously. “I didn’t… I’m not a traitor. Leader Cui, you must believe me… How could I harm the Wen Corporation?”
Bai Ling was so anxious that she looked around subconsciously asking everyone for help.
Jing Jing said, “Impossible… how could Bai Ling be a traitor. I don’t believe it…”
Nan Nan also said, “I don’t believe it. Just at the press conference, Bai Ling helped Sister Xinya a lot. This allowed the Wen Corporation to wash away the suspicion of plagiarism…”
Everyone nodded and agreed, not convinced that Bai Ling was the traitor.
Not even mentioning Bai Ling’s performance at the press conference earlier, just talking about her pure and innocent personality made her someone who could not do such things.
Wen Xinya looked at them as the noise levels rose again, pursing her lips and not speaking.
Cui Wenhao said, “I also don’t want to believe that Bai Ling is a traitor, but the fact is in front of you. Think about it carefully. Except for Bai Ling, who else had access to the design drawings of the new clothing?”
Everyone froze.
“Before the new clothing design drawings were finalized, I didn’t touch the design drawings nor did I see anyone else do that…”
“Me too…”
Everyone joined together and pointed at Bai Ling.
Wen Xinya looked at Cui Wenhao as his gaze deepened. Cui Wenhao seemed to have reasonable grounds. In fact, from his words before, he implied that all the people in contact with the design drawings were traitors, who else dared to say more? Naturally, everyone was anxious to clarify and elute their suspicions, who would dare to speak up for Bai Ling?
“It’s true that only Bai Ling has contact with the drawings. If leaked, only Bai Ling has the opportunity…”
“Even if Bai Ling is not a traitor, she didn’t keep the design drawings properly, which led to the leakage of the design drawings…”
Apparently, everyone already believed Cui Wenhao’s words and began to doubt Bai Ling.
Jing Jing and Nan Nan jumped anxiously. “At the press conference, Bai Ling clearly…”
Cui Wenhao interrupted their words. “It was only at the press conference where Missy pushed her forward. In order not to reveal her identity, she naturally went all out. Didn’t you find that Bai Ling’s design work at the press conference was obviously higher in standard than usual? This can only explain one thing, that is, Bai Ling is usually hiding her full talents, so as to not arouse suspicion.”
Cui Wenhao’s words were reasonable and well-founded, which made people unable to refute them for a while.
Bai Ling suddenly knelt down in front of Wen Xinya, raised her hand and cried. “Sister Xinya, believe me, I am not a traitor. I can swear to heaven, I did not leak the design drawings of the new clothing. At the press conference, I did my very best because I was trying to save the reputation of the Wen Corporation. I did not lie to anyone…”
Bai Ling did not expect that she would be accused of being the traitor.
In her twenty-four years of life, she had always led a simple and clean life, so she really did not know how to excuse herself from this situation.
