Chapter 1364: Some Progress / Recovering the Recording





“What? Deleted?” Jing Xiaolu was shocked. “How can you let someone else delete such an important thing?”


“I didn’t want to. How would I know that Vice President Liu would delete the evidence on his own!” Xu Xiaobin said helplessly. “I went to him because I wanted him to stick up for me, so I took the phone recording to him.”


“You…” Jing Xiaolu didn’t know what to say. She was exasperated at his failure to make good. “You don’t know how to do some preventive measures? Is this Liu Zhenan credible? Does he want to take Liu Jifei’s side?”


“This-” Xu Xiaobin didn’t feel anything at first, but after listening to Jing Xiaolu’s words, he was nervous instantly. He didn’t think so much before. Is this Liu Zhenan really favoring Liu Jifei!? After all, he is surnamed Liu, and I’m just an outsider! Now that I think about it, it’s really like what Jing Xiaolu said. Was Liu Zhenan intentional? Otherwise, why was he so anxious to delete the evidence? Keeping this thing is a threat to Liu Jifei!


Moreover, Liu Zhenan and I are not related to each other. We were meeting for the first time, but why did he say so much to me? It seemed like he was very concerned about me. Now that I think carefully, this Liu Zhenan didn’t have any reason to be concerned about me!


I’m just one of his relatives and an employee at the bottom of the company. Will he think for me? If I yielded to him, then it is reasonable for him to help me. However, I never expressed that I wanted to get close to him. How could he help me?


Thinking of this, Xu Xiaobin suddenly felt a cold chill. Now it seems that there is something really wrong with it! Maybe Liu Zhenan was intentional!


“Ai, what can I say about you!” Jing Xiaolu was also very anxious. Originally, Xu Xiaobin’s private affairs had nothing to do with her, but he lost such secondary evidence. How could Jing Xiaolu be not anxious?


“I’m very sorry, Vice President Jing…” Xu Xiaobin also knew that what he had done was a bit silly, but since it had happened, there was no other way.


“Forget it…” Jing Xiaolu couldn’t blame Xu Xiaobin. She had to give up. “You can’t be blamed on this. You didn’t expect the consequences as well.”


“It’s my fault for being careless. I was so anxious that I didn’t use a data cable to back up the recording to my computer before.” Xu Xiaobin blamed himself. “If the phone can restore data like a computer, then it would be good.”


“Yeah… wait…” Jing Xiaolu suddenly had an inspiration. “President Xu, is the phone that was used for the recording still in your hands?”


“Yes, but the recording has been deleted…” Xu Xiaobin didn’t understand what Jing Xiaolu meant.


“I have a good friend who is a computer expert. She may be able to restore the deleted recording on the phone!” Jing Xiaolu thought of Zhou Jiajia. Last time, Zhou Jiajia helped her to find the culprit who posted on the Internet and slandered herself, so Jing Xiaolu was very impressed with Zhou Jiajia. Thinking that restoring data wasn’t a complicated matter, and at least, many computer repair shops had this service, Zhou Jiajia, as an expert hacker, naturally could handle it easily.


“Oh? Really? That’s great!” Xu Xiaobin also wanted to back up the recording as evidence. Liu Zhenan deleted the recording. Although he didn’t say anything, he still regretted it. Even if he didn’t expose the recording now, it could still give a fatal blow to Liu Jifei if he takes it out at a critical moment. However, Liu Zhenan deleted it before he thought of that, and then he stopped thinking about this. But, now that Jing Xiaolu said that she had a friend who was skilled in this, his mind became active again. “Then I will give you the phone now!”


“Okay, come directly to our company. I will be waiting for you there,” said Jing Xiaolu.


Hanging up the phone, Jing Xiaolu was lost in thought again. Jing Xiaolu already knew from Xu Xiaobin’s words. It would be basically impossible to change the contract with the Jiangyan Group. At this point, Jing Xiaolu had no hope. It seemed that she had to rely on herself.


At present, the only feasible way was to adopt legal procedures to solve the problem. It was not feasible to solve it by violence. This matter was not only directed at Liu Jifei alone but the Jiangyan Group behind Liu Jifei!


The Jiangyan Group’s social network was not worse than the Ming Yang Security Company; its foundation was even stronger than the Ming Yang Security Company. She believed that forcing the other party to change the contract wouldn’t work because the other party would call the police when she did that.


Of course, it also depended on what kind of violence was used and who used it. Bao Sanli obviously didn’t have any deterrent effect on the Jiangyan Group; he was just a punk. The Jiangyan Group wouldn’t be afraid of him. If Yang Ming went to threaten them, the Jiangyan Group would probably succumb to him. Even Liu Jiangyan would choose to back off when facing such powerful strength.


After all, an assassin was different from a punk. These two characters were two different levels. Even if Liu Jiangyan were a stupid person, he wouldn’t easily offend such people.


Jing Xiaolu made a cup of coffee for herself, sitting quietly at her desk. She was looking at the contract in front of her as she frowned. If she wanted to go through legal procedures, she still had to start with the contract.


However, the contract was clearly written in black and white, and the signatures and seals of both parties were impeccable. It was almost impossible to find loopholes with it.


This contract was drafted by two contract masters, Liu Luyou and Wang Hongcha. Only a few details were changed in the conditions; the others didn’t change at all.


It looks like, if she wanted to make a breakthrough, she must start from other aspects. The usual way wouldn’t work. She could start with some details that she ignored previously! Jing Xiaolu closed her eyes and began to think about the entire process of signing the contract, hoping that she could discover something from it.


After some time had passed, the intercom on the desk rang. Then Jing Xiaolu returned from her contemplation and picked up the phone on the desk. “Hello.”


“Vice President Jing, this is Xiao Zhang at the front desk. There is a Mr. Xu Xiaobin from the Jiangyan Group’s Song Jiang office who wants to see you.” The voice of the front desk staff, Xiao Zhang, came out of the telephone.


“Let him come directly to my office,” Jing Xiaolu said quickly as she heard Xu Xiaobin had arrived.


“Okay, Vice President Jing. I’ll let him go up,” said Xiao Zhang.


There was a knock on the door outside the office not long after hanging up the phone. Jing Xiaolu knew it was Xu Xiaobin. She stood up and walked over to open the door personally. “President Xu, you are here!”


“Vice President Jing, I’ve brought the mobile phone. I have switched it off; I dared not to use other operations. I was afraid it might affect the data recovery.” Xu Xiaobin handed the mobile phone to Jing Xiaolu.


Jing Xiaolu took it, looked at it, and then carefully put it in her bag. She planned to go to Zhou Jiajia in a moment and ask her to help recover the recorded data.


“If the recording can be recovered, the lawsuit will be easier to fight.” Jing Xiaolu looked at Xu Xiaobin gratefully. “President Xu, I’m sorry. I want to sue your company, but you are still helping…”


Xu Xiaobin waved his hand and smiled bitterly. “Vice President Jing, don’t say that. If Liu Jifei did not go so far, I would not stand on your side. I just want our partnership to be fair.”


“However, this evidence alone is not enough. This is only secondary evidence that can prove that Liu Jifei may use incense to commit crimes, but it might not be true.” Jing Xiaolu said, “We still need to find more evidence.”


“I can’t do anything about this,” Xu Xiaobin said apologetically. “However, Vice President Jing can contact me at any time if you need any help. I will do my best to help you.”


“Thank you very much,” Jing Xiaolu said sincerely. “I will find a way for the other matters.”


Chapter 1484: Recovering the Recording


After sending Xu Xiaobin away, Jing Xiaolu didn’t stay for long. She took the mobile phone delivered by Xu Xiaobin, went downstairs, got into her car, and went straight in the direction of the school. She called Zhou Jiajia when she was waiting for the traffic light.


“Jiajia, this is Xiaolu. Are you in school?” Jing Xiaolu asked.


“Xiaolu, I’m at school. Is there anything the matter?” Zhou Jiajia and Jing Xiaolu were already familiar with each other, and she probably guessed some of the thoughts in Jing Xiaolu’s mind. Zhou Jiajia didn’t dislike her as if she had seen her past self, so she was very kind to Jing Xiaolu.


“I want to ask you a favor for something. I wonder if you have time,” Jing Xiaolu asked.


“There will always be time. You tell me what is it about first. I’ll see if I can help you.” Zhou Jiajia laughed.


“It’s like this. I have a mobile phone here with a very important recording, but it was deleted by someone. Can you recover it?” Jing Xiaolu asked.


“Oh, after the recording was deleted, did the phone make another recording?” Zhou Jiajia asked after listening.


“No, it was shut down after deletion. No other operations were performed,” replied Jing Xiaolu.


“That’s easy. Bring your phone to school then,” said Zhou Jiajia.


“Do you have time now?” Jing Xiaolu was surprised when Zhou Jiajia said that she could recover it.


“Hehe, it doesn’t take much time; it will take ten minutes.” Zhou Jiajia laughed. “This is not complicated; I just have to restore it with software. It’s like restoring data on a USB flash drive; it’s not difficult.”


“Great! I’m on my way to school. I’ll be here in a while.” Jing Xiaolu hung up the phone. Although she was a little happy, she still had some sorrow.


Yang Ming’s women seem to be useful. I really don’t know how Yang Ming found them. Let’s take Zhou Jiajia, for example. Her talents and achievements in computer science are beyond the reach of others.


I initially wanted to be a person who was helpful to Yang Ming, but I did not expect that my first business would be unfavorable, and I fell into the contract trap. It is still good if I can solve it perfectly. Otherwise, what would Yang Ming think of me? He might think that I’m just a fool!


A beautiful girl drove a nice car; Jing Xiaolu was exceptionally dazzling as she drove the BMW into the school. She attracted the attention of many gold diggers. If it were before, Jing Xiaolu would still enjoy this complacent feeling, but now, Jing Xiaolu didn’t bother about it at all. She hurriedly drove the car to the Computer Science Teacher Faculty Building. Jing Xiaolu quickly ran in after getting out of the car.


Jing Xiaolu made a phone call to Zhou Jiajia at the entrance of the top-level laboratory. It belonged to the experimental base; she couldn’t enter without an IC card. Therefore, Jing Xiaolu could only wait for Zhou Jiajia to pick her up.


Not long after, Zhou Jiajia ran out with a phone. When she saw Jing Xiaolu, she waved to her. “Xiaolu, over here!” As Zhou Jiajia spoke, she took the IC card and opened the iron gate of the laboratory to let Jing Xiaolu come in.


Jing Xiaolu could come in through the first gate, but the laboratory inside also had a checkpoint to verify her identity. Even if Zhou Jiajia could enter, she wouldn’t bring Jing Xiaolu in with her. After all, the laboratory had regulations. Personnel who didn’t belong to the project team weren’t allowed to enter.


Zhou Jiajia took Jing Xiaolu to her and Xiao Qing’s room. She apologized. “You can’t get in the lab; you can only be here.”


“It’s already good to be able to come in.” Jing Xiaolu smiled. “Aren’t ordinary people not allowed to come in here as well?”


Zhou Jiajia saw that Jing Xiaolu was not displeased, so she didn’t say much. “Where’s the mobile phone? I’ll check it for you.”


“Here.” Jing Xiaolu quickly handed Xu Xiaobin’s phone to Zhou Jiajia.


“What about the data cable?” Zhou Jiajia asked.


“Arh … I forgot to ask him. Do you still need the data cable?” Jing Xiaolu said after listening to Zhou Jiajia. “Should I call and ask someone to send the data cable here?”


“Then, you shouldn’t bother. Let me see it first.” Zhou Jiajia waved her hand to stop Jing Xiaolu from making a phone call.


Since Zhou Jiajia said she would look at it first, Jing Xiaolu did not call directly, but she also held her mobile phone in case she had to contact Xu Xiaobin.


Zhou Jiajia turned on the phone and then entered the settings menu. After looking at the storage path of the recordings, she nodded slightly. After that, she turned off the phone again, opened the back cover of the phone, removed the battery, and carefully took out the memory card that was under the battery. She said with ease, “The phone is set to store the recorded files directly onto the memory card instead of the phone’s internal memory, so we don’t need a data cable. It’s fine as long as there is a card reader.”


Jing Xiaolu was very novel about these things. She nodded her head as if she understood it. She watched as Zhou Jiajia found a card reader, and then inserted the memory card into the notebook.


Looking at Zhou Jiajia skillfully opening data recovery software to operate it, Jing Xiaolu was a little envious. It seemed that she should also learn some computer knowledge. Otherwise, she was afraid that she would suffer a loss later.


Jing Xiaolu secretly made up her mind to buy a few computer magazines to study after this matter was successfully resolved.


“Okay, that’s it.” Zhou Jiajia exported the recovered recording file, saved it on the computer desktop, and clicked the play button.


On the computer’s speakers, Liu Jifei’s clear voice came: “—— Think about it. If you become my mistress, will I treat you badly-”


“What is this?” Zhou Jiajia wondered after hearing a few words.


Jing Xiaolu was also a little embarrassed. Listening to the blatant dialogue between the two, her face could not help turning red. “It’s evidence.”


“Oh…” Zhou Jiajia didn’t ask much. She was still a virgin like Jing Xiaolu; she didn’t have any substantial relationship with Yang Ming. So after listening to these things, her face was not much better than Jing Xiaolu. “It’s very clear. If there is no problem, then I will turn it off. Did you bring something like a USB flash drive? I can copy it for you.”


“I didn’t bring it…” Jing Xiaolu scolded herself for being stupid. I asked Zhou Jiajia to recover the data, but I didn’t even bring a medium to copy it. Ai, I really need to cram some computer knowledge.


“Then, I’ll copy it to this memory card first.” As Zhou Jiajia said this, she copied the audio file onto the memory card.


“Right, you can send another copy to my phone mailbox.” Jing Xiaolu said just in case.


“Okay, what’s your phone mailbox?” Zhou Jiajia nodded and opened the mailbox software.


[email protected]…” Jing Xiaolu said, “It’s my mobile number.”


“Okay, I sent it.” Zhou Jiajia clicked the mouse a few times and said to Jing Xiaolu.


“Jiajia, thank you so much!” Jing Xiaolu said sincerely. If she didn’t know Zhou Jiajia, she really couldn’t think of a data recovery method.


“It’s nothing; it’s a piece of cake.” Zhou Jiajia smiled.


“Jiajia, are you free? I want to treat you to a meal.” Jing Xiaolu thought for a while and said, “Last time, you did me a favor, but I didn’t have time to thank you, and you helped me again this time!”


“A meal, ah…” Zhou Jiajia hesitated. “It’s only three o’clock in the afternoon. Isn’t it too early to eat?”


“It’s not early. After we go out and find a restaurant, it’s almost time for dinner.” Jing Xiaolu said quickly.


“Alright, I’ll go take leave with Sister Xiao Qing.” Zhou Jiajia could vaguely guess some of Jing Xiaolu’s thoughts on Yang Ming, so she was not too willing to reject Jing Xiaolu either. In the future, Zhou Jiajia was not sure whether Jing Xiaolu could come together with Yang Ming, but at least, Zhou Jiajia didn’t hate her. Since there was such an opportunity, it’s fine for their relationship to get better.


“En, I will be waiting for you.” Jing Xiaolu nodded and walked out of the room with Zhou Jiajia. Although the company contract matter annoyed Jing Xiaolu, she couldn’t think of a solution in a while. Maybe she could think of some solutions by eating with Zhou Jiajia to relieve her mood.
