Chapter 242 I Want an Explanation

Upon hearing this, Li Zhe put down the contract in his hand, looked at Mu Xiaoyu with a surprised and angry expression, and finally bowed deeply to Mu Xiaoyu, saying apologetically, "Mrs. Li, this contract was prepared by the legal team. Because it is an old team, I didn't read the contract they drafted very carefully. If you hadn't marked these points today, I really wouldn't have known."

At this point, Li Zhe paused, his gaze towards Mu Xiaoyu becoming increasingly apologetic: "It's my fault for causing you so much harm, Mrs. Li. I have no complaints about how you want to make it up to me. I just hope... Mrs. Li, you won't tell Mr. Li about this, after all... I can't live without this job."

Li Zhe spoke earnestly, and his eyes, as he looked at Mu Xiaoyu, were full of sincerity.

Given Li Zhe's situation, it's unlikely that many people would disbelieve his words.

However, Mu Xiaoyu had experienced too much, and coupled with what Bai Ye had told her the night before, she couldn't just believe Li Zhe's words so easily.

After all, there are far too many ordinary people in this world who are better actors than actors themselves.

"I don't have to tell Mr. Li about this, but I need to know who drafted this contract. If Mr. Li can't even do that, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

Li Zhe remained silent, his expression unchanged. Mu Xiaoyu stared intently at Li Zhe, not missing a single expression on his face.

"Okay, I'll try to finish this week..."

"No, I need you to investigate right now."

If someone is doing this intentionally, giving Li Zhe too much time will only give the other party an opportunity to cover it up.

Moreover, if Li Zhe is truly innocent, it is entirely possible for him to prove his innocence and clarify the matter within today.

Mu Xiaoyu is now a completely different person. Her powerful aura makes her seem unlike an ordinary woman. Even her gentle and approachable demeanor when she first came is completely different.

Li Zhe fell silent, whether out of guilt or something else, he didn't speak for a long time.

At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu was no longer like before. Seeing Li Zhe remain silent, she immediately said, "Mr. Li, why aren't you saying anything? Are you feeling guilty? Or was your apology just now just a perfunctory response?"

"Mrs. Li, you're too kind. How could I... possibly be perfunctory with you? Don't worry, I'll definitely find out who drafted the contract today. But Mrs. Li, there's nothing much to do here, so why don't you go home and wait? I'll let you know when the results are in."

"No, I'm going to wait here. I'll leave only when you find the person who drafted the contract."

Mu Xiaoyu's skin is thicker than ever before. Actually, saying she's thick-skinned isn't entirely accurate; she's just become more assertive than before.

In the past, Mu Xiaoyu would feel somewhat insecure when facing these kinds of things.

However, Li Chenxu's constant praise and encouragement gradually helped her overcome her previous lack of confidence and make her stronger. So now, Mu Xiaoyu handles Li Zhe's little tricks with ease.

"Well... please wait here for a moment, I'll go out and make some arrangements..."

"Are you going out again? If I remember correctly, SQ didn't have a permanent legal team before. Even if Mr. Liang acquired SQ and has a professional team, they shouldn't be here for the time being, right? If Mr. Li wants to investigate, he should be able to do so by phone. How about we make the call here? That way, I'll feel more at ease."

The already precarious smile on Li Zhe's face vanished completely upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words.

Mu Xiaoyu had been watching Li Zhe's expression closely and had long felt that his smile was incredibly fake. Now, watching the smile on Li Zhe's face gradually disappear, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Fearing that her emotions might anger Li Zhe and ruin the plan, Mu Xiaoyu quickly covered her mouth and coughed lightly, saying, "Mr. Li, please don't be angry. You should know that I'm just a comic artist. The copyright of comics is extremely important to us. We can't afford to make even the slightest mistake. So I hope Mr. Li can understand why I'm acting this way."

Mu Xiaoyu's current behavior is a classic case of giving someone a slap and then a sweet treat. No matter how angry Li Zhe is, he can only endure it now that Mu Xiaoyu has said this. If things really fall apart, Liang Qiao won't let him off the hook, no matter what the reason.

In a short while, Li Zhe's expression changed repeatedly, but in the end, a smile returned to his face.

He nodded to Mu Xiaoyu, still with that pleading expression of having done something wrong: "I was a little anxious just now, I wasn't angry. After all, we were in the wrong first. In that case, let's do it as you said, Mrs. Li. I'll contact them from my office."

After Li Zhe finished speaking, he took out his phone, gave Mu Xiaoyu a sincere smile, and only after seeing Mu Xiaoyu nod did he make the call.

With Mu Xiaoyu present, no matter who Li Zhe called, Mu Xiaoyu dared not say anything. If this situation continued until the end of the day without any results, then Li Zhe was definitely involved, and there was definitely something fishy going on.

At that point, Mu Xiaoyu would have no choice but to find Liang Qiao.

Time passed by, and the long day was over in the blink of an eye. Mu Xiaoyu hardly left the office all day, and apart from planting grains and eating, she didn't even drink a drop of water.

Given her current state, Li Zhe, who made the mistake, naturally couldn't leave the office under the pretext of eating or doing other things.

The two spent almost the entire day in the office. At first, the people at SQ didn't know what was going on between Mu Xiaoyu and Li Zhe, and they weren't particularly curious.

After the two had been in the office for almost a whole day, everyone became curious.

Although it wasn't SQ's closing time yet, it was already completely dark outside because it was winter. Just as Mu Xiaoyu was about to give Li Zhe a good beating, Li Chenxu called.

"Come pick me up. By the way... I still have some things to take care of. If you're here, things might be easier to handle."
