Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband
Chapter 83 Endless Entanglement

Chapter 83: Chapter 83 Endless Entanglement

They seemed a bit intimidated after seeing Gu Qixiao, not daring to confront him as they did earlier.

But Ji Yu understood; these people were only temporarily cowed and would definitely continue spreading rumors about the two of them once they got back.

"Ignore them; let’s take care of the important matters first."

She still needed to investigate who the traitor in the hospital was.

Such matters must result in immediate termination.

Gu Qixiao was reasonably serious about this as well. "Alright."

He shielded Ji Yu as they moved back, sensing how much this issue mattered to her.

Faced with this situation, the reporters had no choice but to retreat for now.

But internally, they’d already drafted their stories about the events.

Sure enough, after they left, gossip about the two of them began flying all over the internet.

[So, Ji Yu actually has some real connections, huh?]

[Your Film Emperor Lu goes through all this effort and still just ends up as a backup option?]

[So... is this actually real or not? As a curious bystander, I’m totally lost here.]

[It’s definitely real. Otherwise, why wouldn’t they dare to answer? I really feel sorry for that poor girl.]

Ji Yu showed no intention of bothering with these rumors.

"I hope this incident doesn’t affect you. Go ahead and arrange for all these stories to be taken down."

She had long been used to this kind of storm of gossip, but Gu Qixiao still had his company, and it would undoubtedly damage its reputation.

Gu Qixiao frowned and said nothing, but it was clear from his expression that he didn’t intend to simply resolve the matter this way.

"Let’s first investigate who went to the hospital. I know you’ve been ready to take action for a while now."

To be honest, Ji Yu had always been rather indifferent towards others, but today’s incident was truly hard to handle.

Tian, having caught wind of the matter, had already prepared the surveillance footage. "Sister Yu, this will be tough to investigate. The company’s surveillance was cleaned out recently."

Finding the culprit would depend somewhat on luck.

Nonetheless, Ji Yu wasn’t in a rush.

After receiving the footage, she and Gu Qixiao spent half the day reviewing it in the office.

Finally, they found the answer they were looking for.

"Tian, go call everyone in the hospital together. I want to have a proper talk with them."

Perhaps she had been too kind before, to the point that they dared to pull something like this.

When Tian brought everyone over, many wore confused expressions on their faces.

"Sister Yu, is there something you need from us?"

"I’ve brought you here today to discuss a recent issue. You should all know about Tang Tang’s situation. Her file went missing, and it’s absolutely the work of someone within our ranks." As she spoke, Ji Yu scanned the faces of everyone present.

Watching their varied expressions, Ji Yu already had a good idea of the truth.

"I’ve just finished reviewing the surveillance footage and identified the traitor. I hope you’ll step forward yourself. Everyone else is free to leave."

She sat at her desk, eyes fixed on the computer screen, projecting an air of having figured everything out.

When she saw who was left behind, Ji Yu showed no surprise. "Haven’t I treated you well enough?"

She looked at the young woman in front of her, filled with countless unanswered questions.

They’d worked together for so long. How much hatred could there possibly be to push someone to such lengths?

"Sister Yu..."

She was nervous, timidly calling out Ji Yu’s name.

"Speak up. I’m waiting for your explanation. To be honest, you’re the last person I ever suspected."

But some truths require no suspicion; they reveal everything on their own.

Just like now, a possibility Ji Yu had never considered before.

She couldn’t understand why this person would do such a thing.

"Sister Yu, I didn’t mean to... I just needed the money. Besides, you’re always so biased, I couldn’t help it... and that’s why I made this decision."

Ji Yu raised her eyebrows, her delicate face full of disbelief. "You think I’m biased?"

They had worked together for so long, with the young woman always serving as Ji Yu’s assistant, and yet now this accusation was being made.

For a moment, Ji Yu couldn’t quite process it.

After a pause, the young woman finally explained why she had done what she did.

"Sister Yu, I really didn’t mean any harm to you. Originally, they told me this would fall entirely on Tian... I just wanted to perform surgeries on my own."

She had waited so long, to the point where she could wait no longer.

Yet Ji Yu had seemingly failed to notice her ambition the entire time.

So, she resorted to this method to drag Tian down.

Ji Yu’s lips parted slightly, her eyes full of disbelief. "You’re telling me all of this... just because you wanted to lead surgeries?"

But some people’s skills simply weren’t suited for leading surgeries.

Ji Yu had observed Yang Liu’s capabilities before—her skills were subpar. With skills like that, why even bring up the idea of leading?

"Yang Liu, your mindset is truly hard to comprehend. Do you think we’re denying you opportunities to harm you?"

A doctor lacking the necessary skills blaming others for their failure—it was utterly nonsensical.

Ji Yu’s gaze at Yang Liu was tinged with helplessness. But given the situation, Ji Yu no longer intended to let Yang Liu stay in the hospital.

"Just tell me who instructed you to do this, and I won’t send you to the police. But you must leave Chongsin."

There was no way she’d keep someone like this in her team.

Yang Liu hesitated for a moment. "I’ve never met this person. We’ve only communicated via phone. She said if I did this, I could definitely take Tian down."

She still wanted to stay here.

Was there any place more professional than Chongsin?

Clearly, there wasn’t.

For the first time, Ji Yu doubted Yang Liu’s intelligence. How had someone with such poor judgment stayed in their hospital for so long?

"Don’t you think there’s something off about this whole thing?"

Believing everything a stranger on the internet said—it was pure recklessness.

This was simply her own undoing.

And Yang Liu didn’t know what else to say.

"I don’t know..."

Ji Yu didn’t bother continuing the conversation with her and directly handed her a letter of resignation.

"Your salary for this month will be transferred to your account. Let’s part on civil terms, but you’re never allowed to work at Chongsin again."

She had become numb to such situations.

Hearing this decision, Yang Liu clearly wanted to say something more.

But Ji Yu had already turned her back, clearly unwilling to engage with her further.

From the side, Gu Qixiao observed the situation, already understanding in his heart that Ji Yu must feel hurt, even if she wasn’t showing it outright.

"You actually didn’t have any hard evidence, did you?"

She understood her own reputation at Chongsin. Just saying those words would make it impossible for anyone behind this to remain hidden.

"No."

Her computer screen was completely blank—there was nothing on it. Yet she still managed to expose the traitor.

"Maybe I’ve just failed as a person."
