Since she said so, Yi Zheng couldn’t be too tough.

In the end, he still had to consider Tang Zhe.

At the thought of this, he suddenly said in a low voice, “You should know your cousin’s personality. If he finds out that you’re lying on purpose, even if he’s your cousin, he won’t protect you. It doesn’t matter if you don’t tell the truth now. I’ll find the evidence myself. Leave.”

He had said everything he needed to say. Yi Zheng did not want to see this woman again.

However, a thought inevitably arose in his heart.

Could it be that there was really a drug in this world that could make people lose consciousness and not lose control themselves when it came to that?

The few lines of the test results flashed before his eyes.

Chen Jiao did have signs of being violated.

Yi Zheng’s heart could not help but beat wildly, but when he thought of Shi Man, he decisively suppressed this thought.

No matter what, he was willing to believe that his body would not do anything to betray his lover!

Chen Jiao walked out of the office in a daze. Before she could wipe the tears off her face, she was caught off guard and met the curious eyes of the secretariat.

She suddenly came back to her senses and seemed to have thought of what Yi Zheng had said just now. She quickly wiped her tears and forced a smile. “I’m really sorry for wasting a day’s work. If there’s any work, please leave it to me.”

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the office looked at each other.

Ever since she came out, Tang Zhe’s gaze had never left her face. His frown deepened.

Before Cheng Fang could tentatively stuff a stack of documents into Chen Jiao’s hands, Tang Zhe couldn’t take it anymore and stood up. He rushed over and grabbed Chen Jiao’s arm. “Come with me. 1 have something to ask you.” “Cousin?” Chen Jiao looked up at him in a daze. Her wet eyes were like a frightened rabbit, making people pity her.

Tang Zhe dragged her away without any explanation. He brought her to the VIP room and slammed the door shut. Only then did he look at her steadily and say, “What did President Yi tell you? Why are you crying?”

At the mention of this, Chen Jiao immediately bit her lower lip in shame and lowered her head. “No, nothing. Cousin, don’t ask anymore. It’s really nothing.”

Tang Zhe took a step forward and grabbed her shoulder domineeringly. “I’m your cousin. 1 hope you won’t hide anything from me. Otherwise, 1 won’t know how to help you.”

Chen Jiao lowered her head. After a long time, she said hesitantly, “Cousin, President Yi wants me to clarify in front of Miss Shi that nothing happened between him and me. He even said that he would give me a sum of money…” “You agreed?” Tang Zhe’s face suddenly darkened.

Chen Jiao choked and shook her head. “1 don’t want his money, Cousin. It’s okay. 1 can do as President Yi says. After all, he’s your leader. 1-1’11 treat that night as a nightmare. I’m fine.”

As she spoke, she cried silently. Her shoulders twitched, making her look even weaker.

How could this be considered fine?

Tang Zhe let out a long sigh and said, “Listen to me. Don’t act rashly before the matter is clear.”

He had thought of asking Yi Zheng to compensate Chen Jiao with money because this was the best way he could think of to compensate Chen Jiao.

However, Yi Zheng compensating for his mistake was completely different from Yi Zheng believing that Chen Jiao was lying but compensating for Shi Man’s sake.

Tang Zhe could barely accept the former.

However, Tang Zhe felt that Chen Jiao was too aggrieved. Moreover, this was unfair to Miss Shi.

Originally, he only wanted to get compensation for Chen Jiao, but he suddenly wanted to find the truth.

At the thought of this, Tang Zhe’s gaze became even more certain. “Alright, go back first. Rest well for the next few days. It doesn’t matter if you don’t come to work. Cousin is here for everything.”

“No, I want to work hard.” Chen Jiao blinked her teary eyes and shook her head desperately. “Cousin, I can’t rely on you for the rest of my life. 1 want to work hard. This job is very important to me. 1 can’t give up because of this.”

Tang Zhe’s heart ached even more. He couldn’t help but reach out and pat her head. “Alright, but don’t tire yourself out. If you need any help, just tell me. Don’t carry it alone anymore, understand?”

Chen Jiao smiled obediently, her eyes curved into crescents. “I understand. Thank you, Cousin. In this world, other than my parents, only you treat me the best.”

Hearing this, Tang Zhe was slightly stunned. A strange feeling suddenly flashed across his heart.

Shouldn’t Chen Jiao’s father have passed away long ago?

However, looking at Chen Jiao’s innocent smile, he still smiled and said, “Okay, let’s go back together.”

The two of them returned to their desks one after another.

After Chen Jiao sat down, she began to deal with her work seriously.

However, no one knew what she was thinking at this moment.

In the beginning, she was only sent by Jiang Han to get close to Yi Zheng and wait for an opportunity to steal the company’s information. At the same time, she would add a few more stains to Yi Zheng’s life.

However, after interacting with Yi Zheng, Chen Jiao became more and more interested in this man..
