Chapter 267: High-tech Cybersecurity
"Why is she here?" As expected, the first one who reacted was Mo Li's mother. "I thought she was ill at the hospital?"
"What do you mean, mother?" Mo Li asked. "She wasn't ill. She only felt a little… dizzy." He gave Bella a gentle smile, which surprised her.
"Dizzy…" Liu Cheng'er gasp as she covered her mouth with her hands. Were her previous assumptions about this woman true? Was she really pregnant? However, these thoughts wouldn't do her any good. She immediately stared at the examined Bella's appearance. She seemed to be a little paler than before.
This made her frowned. Was this woman really pregnant?
If that is the case, then… she needed to get rid of this woman and the baby at the same time. This is only making her head hurt more.
"Alright Bella, please start taking notes." Mo Li smiled before looking at the directors. "I called this meeting because of the current news that was leaked. There is a high chance that the news about the Governors health status was leaked from our company and we might face some lawsuits. If my guess is right, the governor might send us his lawyer this afternoon."
"Mr. Mo… why these rumors about the Mo Family?" Someone from the group asked.
"Oh, that is the reason I also called my family here." Mo Li calmly looked at his father and mother. "Mr. And Mrs. Mo, please come clean now so we can plan ahead and look for ways to protect the both of you."
"Mo Li! How could it be Aunt and Uncle?" As expected, Liu Cheng'er immediately defended Mo Li's parents. The leak was supposed to point to Bella and not to Mo Li's parents. She stared at Mo Li before shaking her head inwardly. There is no way that Mo Li would attack his own parents. Meaning, the news online shouldn't come from him.
Then there is only one possibility left.
It came from Bella Qin!
Suspicions swirled inside Liu Cheng'er's mind. That person clearly said that as long as she gave him a piece of important information about the Governor then he will take care of the rest. So, how could Bella prepare a counterattack like this? Was it possible that she pretended to be sick earlier so she could make up a new like this?
But this woman shouldn't have the money to pay for making the news trending!
"Miss Liu, do you have proof that it was Mr. And Mrs. Mo?" Mo Li asked. "The news online clearly pointed out that Mr. Mo doesn't have a good relationship with the Governor and is trying to use this opportunity to bring him down. It is even affecting my name. I established this company hoping to help people. I would never hurt the company for my personal gains." Mo Li said righteously.
"Mo Li, how could you believe the news online?" Zhang Bingbing said. "There is no way that your father would know something about this. I don't understand why the media would suddenly say something like this."
"Mother, even if father had nothing to do about this, the damage has been done. People will think that we are — "Mo Li clenched his teeth before he looked at the other executives. "Please leave us for a while. I will talk to my family privately. I will call you in a few minutes." He said and looked at Bella. "You, stay here."
Bella just nodded in response. She knew that what Mo Li was doing was wrong, but seeing him in action was making her feel good. She stared at everyone, a slight smile was present on her face.
"She is not a part of our family, why is she here?"
"She is my wife." Mo Li answered his mother. "Liu Cheng'er is nothing to our family. Why is she here?"
"Mo Li, why are you being so rude to Cheng'er all of a sudden?" His grandmother asked. "Cheng'er grew up with you and yet you are treating her like trash. She worked in this company for years because of you. I suggest you think things thoroughly!"

Mo Li only sneered as she looked at Liu Cheng'er who had her head lowered. "She worked her because of my father's insistence. Let's stop pretending that she was working so hard, yes?"
"Mo Li! Stop being rude!" His mother hissed as she patted Liu Cheng'er's back. "Why are you projecting your anger to the innocent Cheng'er? This was all your wife's doing! She was the one who leaked the news!"
"That's right, Mo Li. There's no way that your father would go this low to deal with the Governor. It should be your wife."
Mo Li pursed his lips and started drumming his fingers against the table. "So until now, no one will say the truth?" Mo Li said before he turned towards his father. "You know that this news would ruin my company and yet you still dared to leak the news for your personal interest. I never thought that Mr. Mo is actually this vicious!"
"Mo Li! Watch what you are saying. I am still your father and as your mother said, I am innocent. I didn't leak the news. I suggest you tell your lawyers to reach out to the people who are slandering our family!"
Mo Li snorted. "I am very disappointed in you, father. I already agreed to run for Mayor and yet you still did this behind my back. With all this scandal, how could I still pursue what you wanted me to do?" This made everyone in the room silent. Mo Li's words were true.
The Media will always find ways to produce evidence to prove their point. Meaning, they will soon connect everything and might even conclude that Mo Li is involved in this matter. This will surely affect his campaign!
"This — Can't we just say that this is all our enemies doing?" Mo Li's mother, Zhang Bingbing said. "I mean… we can always…"
"Mother, " Liu Cheng'er interrupted her. "I mean, we can always track who leaked the news. Isn't this why I called out the IT team? So, we could trace everything? Every file in the company is safeguarded by some high-tech cybersecurity programs. There is no way they won't be able to track it." This was her original plan. Make the IT team track the information. According to that man, this would show that it was Bella Qin who stole the information.
"I agree!" Mo Li's grandmother said. "We should let the IT team track it. Why are you accusing your father without even proof? You think that the news is enough proof that your father did it? Don't you know your father?"
"I know him too well." Mo Li said with a sigh. "That's why I believed the news." A long stretch of silence followed his words. Anyone in here knew that Mo Li and his father were like water and oil. Even when he was still in high school, Mo Li and his father could never have a decent conversation without arguing with each other. "I know that he is someone that would do something like this to ruin his opponents." Mo Li continued. "Tell me honestly, father. Did you want to run as a Governor and have me run as the mayor?"
"You — " His father was really speechless. It was actually true that he wanted to run as a Governor but he would never do something that would ruin his reputation. "Why would I do something that could ruin your reputation? I wanted you to win the election and I would never do something to sabotage that!"
"So, you are indeed planning to run." Mo Li sneered. "At least now I understand why you asked Liu Cheng'er to steal the information."
'You — What are you saying!?" Liu Cheng'er paled. How did Mo Li know she was the one who stole it?
"Simple. As you said, the information that we have can be traced. Everything in the system is safeguarded with the latest technology. Did you think you could escape my eyes?"
"Mo Li, first you accused your father and now you are accusing Liu Cheng'er? Have you really lost your mind?" his mother chided. "Are you really going to let that wife of yours ruin this family?"
Of course, Mo Li ignored his mother's words. Instead, he stared at Liu Cheng'er. "I can prove that you stole it. Do you have something else to say?"
"Mo Li — what are you saying? Why would I try to ruin this company? I don't have a motive for doing this! I have worked in this company and witnessed you worked so hard for it! There is no way that— "
"I see." Mo Li nodded. "So, you will still lie?"
Liu Cheng'er's already pale face turned paler. "I — I am not lying! I really didn't steal anything!"
"Miss Liu is really entertaining." Mo Li said. "Since you really want to deny then… how about we let the police come in now and let them see how I was able to track the information on your computer?"
