She Lost Memory Before the Divorce Chapter 278

Chapter 278: Chapter 0278: Identity Exposed Chapter 278: Chapter 0278: Identity Exposed No one expected such an incident to occur at this time, leaving everyone in a state of panic.

Tang Xin indignantly berated the petty thief who had stolen the clothes, her hands on her hips as she scolded along with everyone else.

“This is outrageous, it's obviously intentional to make President Mu miss the event. How could it be such a coincidence? Why not earlier or later, but specifically at this time? It must have been timed to exploit knowledge of the gown's progress,
and who's to say it wasn't someone leaking information on purpose.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the girls in the studio looked at each other with suspicion.

“Tang Xin, do you mean…”

Tang Xin was always direct and outspoken.

“There's a mole, right? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? What do you think?”

A mole? This suggestion immediately caused an uproar.

Everyone had been personally selected by Mu Lan, and after working together for some time, they all seemed decent. If there really was a mole among them, that person's acting skills must be incredible to have deceived everyone.

“What you're saying makes sense; now it all depends on whether the police can find something.”

“The surveillance footage doesn't show who it was, even if there is a mole, we might not be able to find them.”

“For now, let's think about how President Mu will deal with this situation. Sigh, such a good opportunity, it's a real shame.”

All at once, everyone chattered, waiting for Mu Lan to finish her statement, and then one by one, they went in to give their accounts.

Tang Xin looked at the silent Mu Lan and her eyes reddened instantly.

“President Mu, don't worry, I'll definitely help you find this mole.”

Mu Lan looked up at her.

“We can't be sure who did it. Let the police handle the investigation; as for the rest…”

Tang Xin became a bit anxious upon hearing this.

“What about the matter with Liu Ai? There's not enough time left.”

Mu Lan smiled.

“I have prepared more than just this one gown.”

At those words, everyone was stunned.

“One must always have a contingency plan, keep a backup.”

Upon hearing this, Tang Xin immediately burst into laughter through her tears.

“I knew President Mu would have a solution. You truly are the boss; so impressive.”

Mu Lan didn't speak further, instead, she scanned the room, looking at the girls she had carefully chosen, feeling a twinge of sadness. She understood the logic of 'fine feathers make fine birds' and knew the betrayer must have been offered an attractive deal to choose betrayal. Even though it was just an employer-employee relationship, she couldn't help feeling sad.

The studio had just started out when such an incident happened, and who knows what other difficulties and dangers lay ahead on the road of entrepreneurship. It was indeed a hard road, and this made her somewhat understand the relentless plight that Huo Tingxiao once faced.

Indeed, one can only understand the hardships when in the position.

The statements took all morning, and no one had gone into the fitting room again after that.

After returning to the studio, the atmosphere unavoidably became a bit gloomy. Although Mu Lan had mentioned the backup dress, everyone's spirits were still low.

“President Mu, are you just going to let this matter go? If this person continues to stay in the company, there might be more trouble,” Tang Xin said.

Mu Lan crossed her hands and leaned her elbows on the desk, looking at Tang Xin and couldn't help but laugh.

“What, you have a way to catch the culprit?”

Tang Xin scratched her head.

“I don't have the brains for that, but we can't just let this person get away with it.”

Mu Lan pondered for a moment.

“You're right; we do need to come up with a plan. The lock to the cutting room is a fingerprint lock, and few people have access. It wouldn't be difficult to narrow down the suspects.”

Upon hearing this, Tang Xin immediately nodded.

“Exactly, that way we can…”

Tang Xin stopped midway, her expression bitter.

“But, boss, only you and I have the fingerprints to access it. You don't suspect me, do you?”

Mu Lan leaned back in her chair, her gaze intense as she looked at Tang Xin.

“What do you think?”

Tang Xin almost wanted to cry.

“My conscience is clear, how could I possibly do such a thing? I'd betray anyone but never you!

Mr. Mu, I swear, I really am a good person.”

Mu Lan raised an eyebrow, observing the young girl who was about to cry.

“Oh? How can you prove you're a good person?”

Tang Xin was at a loss for words.

“I… I am willing to cooperate with all investigations.”

Mu Lan's fingers tapped lightly on the desk, watching Tang Xin scramble to defend herself.

“Tang Xin, I remember you live in Peninsula No.1, right?”

Tang Xin was startled.

“Yes… yes, that's right.”

“Such a nice apartment, where a month's rent is several times your salary.”

Mu Lan spoke steadily, but Tang Xin's face was one of embarrassment.

“I… Mr. Mu, I can explain that, but I am really not a thief.

I… oh my, this…”

Seeing her flustered state, the smile on Mu Lan's face became more inscrutable.

“What's your relationship with Huo Tingxiao?”

This time, Tang Xin was completely dumbfounded. When had she given herself away?

“Ah? I… how did you know?”

Mu Lan rolled her eyes; did this kid really think she was naive?

“Your ladies' watch might look unassuming but it's worth several hundred thousand, and you live in such a luxurious apartment. Just looking at your resume, one can tell your family is well-off. You wouldn't come to my 'small temple' without a reason.”

Tang Xin laughed nervously.

“I'm Yunzhan's cousin, and I study fashion design too, just not very talented. After knowing you won the award… Sister-in-law, I didn't intend to deceive you to come here, please don't be angry. And don't blame Brother Tingxiao, he thought it was necessary to have someone he trusts by your side to feel at ease.

Although I'm a bit foolish, at the very least, I am fiercely loyal.”

Now Mu Lan understood, no wonder Tang Xin looked familiar–she was Yunzhan's cousin.

So Huo Tingxiao was shearing wool from every sheep he could, taking several of Yunzhan's elite bodyguards, and even convincing his cousin to work for him.

“Who have you been getting close to lately?”

Tang Xin thought for a moment, a lightbulb going off in her head.

“The finance, Miko–she suddenly asked me out for coffee and inquired about the progress of the gowns… but it was all casual chat.

You suspect her?”

Mu Lan thought about it. Miko had always been honest, but it's often the honest ones that can do the unexpected.

However, now that they had a lead, it was no time to waste. She immediately called Huo Tingxiao to instruct He Yan to check Miko's bank transactions.

Sure enough, there was an unexpected deposit of five hundred thousand, three days ago.

“Wow, that Miko is really too much, to think someone so seemingly honest would do such a thing.”

Tang Xin was furious, and seeing her inability to conceal her emotions, Mu Lan quickly instructed her with the intention of luring out Miko's big boss behind the scenes.

“Ask Miko to come to my office, I have something to ask her.”

Tang Xin left Mu Lan's office and headed straight for Miko's workstation.

“Miko, Mr. Mu is calling for you.”

Miko blinked.

“Me?”

Tang Xin displayed a sweet smile, which didn't reach her eyes, silently cursing her multiple times inside. However, to avoid startling the snake, she maintained a normal demeanor.

“Yes, perhaps she wants to ask you about recent budgets or something, you should go.”
