Still confused, Assistant Lin turned around to look at Xu Weilai. He found her standing in front of the safe box. She stared at the safe box for a few seconds, then opened her bag and took out a small axe.
He was stunned at first, then realized what she wanted to do. He exclaimed in shock, “Secretary Xu, calm down!”
Xu Weilai turned sideways and took a glance at him. She sneered. “By hook or by crook, I’m opening this safe box today. You can either call the police or stay out of my way.”
“Miss Xu… What are you trying to do?”
Assistant Lin stepped forward and tried to talk her out of it. “I’ll call the police. Don’t try me. You’ve gone too far. CEO Gu saved you yesterday and you’re breaking into his safe box today. Do you think it’s appropriate for you to do so?”
Xu Weilai broke into a smile. Her speculation was correct.
Assistant Lin was still trying to reason with her instead of getting the security team to drag her out of the office despite what she was trying to do. He wouldn’t dare to if Gu Yu still cared about her, and this confirmed her speculation.
She felt it in her guts that the document she was looking for was in the safe box.
She had to get her hands on it, especially when Gu Yu was not around. Today, she had to nail the truth about Gu Yu’s feelings towards her.
By fair means or foul, she had to know the answer.
Xu Weilai pushed Assistant Lin away with one hand and smashed the axe hard on the lock with the other.
Assistant Lin didn’t expect her to be so fierce. His eyes widened with shock. “Miss Xu, you…”
Xu Weilai ignored him and continued to smash. The lock loosened after a few plunge. She continued to plunge the axe hard at the lock until it was broken.
There was a large stack of documents in the safe box. She reached in and took them all out.
Assistant Lin pounced forward and attempted to grab these documents from her. “Miss Xu, these documents are confidential. You’re taking them illegally. If you’re held accountable, you’ll have to…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Xu Weilai replied with three words, “Call the police.”
Xu Weilai placed the documents on the desk and flipped through them one by one. She skipped through all of the company’s confidential documents, she did not even glance into them.
Assistant Lin initially thought that she was trying to pry on confidential information from the documents. When he realized that she wasn’t, he frowned, “Miss Xu, what exactly are you looking for? Put the documents back where they were and I’ll turn a blind eye and pretend that nothing happened.”
She continued to flip through the documents. It did not take long for her to reach the final few documents, yet she could not find the document she had been expecting to find. Her brows gradually furrowed. Could it be that… her speculation was wrong?
That so-called document that changed Gu Yu was never kept in the safe? Or perhaps Gu Xue was wrong, the document never existed?
She refused to give up. She gritted her teeth and continued to go through the last few remaining documents. Her movements slowed down as well.
With Gu Yu’s denial of his feelings towards her, she did not know where she should start looking. If she still couldn’t find the document, she would not be able to prove that Gu Yu had loved her. If that was the case, everything she did would be meaningless.
Xu Weilai closed her eyes and clenched her fists tightly. No matter what, she had come this far. She had to face the consequences, be it good or bad.
She took a deep breath and continued to flip through the last few copies.
Not this one…
Not this one too…
The only one left… Xu Weilai’s sight fell on the wordings on the documents.
