Chapter 309 Conspiracy
"That''s fine as long as you are okay. In fact, I have always wanted to tell you that you are a good
person, Cindy. So you have to believe in yourself. Actually, you need to put fate aside. Now, you need
to work on your confidence. What you are trying to find may not be the best for you."
Jacob earnestly stared at her without blinking.
"Sir, I know. But sometimes I can''t control myself," Cindy said in a low tone.
"Now, give me details of that man. I will help you sort everything out. You don''t need to worry," Jacob
said as he stood up and nced at his watch.
After such a long and hectic day, it was finally dinner time.
"Sort? How can you help me sort it out? I feel that I have been through enough humiliation. I no longer
want to make this a serious issue. So..." Cindy whispered with her head bowed. Apparently, she didn''t
want to make a scene, so she was treading carefully.
She was not afraid of death. The only thing that scared her was that her dignity would be trampled on
by everyone. Death is not horrible, but living without any dignity is. Strangely, Cindy valued her dignity
more than her life.
"Do you think this is worth it? You think this is worth your life? A man who cannot handle any
responsibility is just a scumbag! But you still want him to continue to stay in thepany and pretend
as if nothing had happened. On top of it, you are contemting suicide. Do you think you deserve such
a cruel fate?"
Jacob''s face remained calm. He knew that scolding her in this situation would only make her sadder
than she already was.
He understood her personality well. If he tried to reason with her excitedly, it was less likely that she
would agree. On the contrary, if he calmly spoke to her, the chances were high that she would take him
seriously.
The most intimidating thing about a person wasn''t his or her charisma, but it was the ability to stay
calm. Only when an individual wasn''t overwhelmed with excitement could he or she begin to reason
clearly.
Cindy was dumbfounded, but the look on her face was still very calm. What had happened was
irreversible. There was no point crying over spilled milk. She wanted to take the me for everything.
And it was obvious that she was overburdening herself with all that responsibility.
"Mr. Jacob, I will tell you who it is. But, I don''t want my resignation to be such a big distraction for the
company. It would be best if fewer people knew about it."
She then calmed her nerves. At that moment, she was finally ready to name her oppressor.
"Okay, tell me. Who is that man? I will find a solution to the problem. Don''t worry." Attentively, Jacob
leaned forward and stared at her.
"He is Kim Shi, one of the directors in thepany," she blurted out with her head bowed.
Jacob was shocked by this revtion. For a moment, he was speechless.
Suddenly, his eyes twinkled and he asked delightfully, "How could it be him?"
Her face suddenly turned pale. She then replied with a whisper, "Yes, it''s him."
Instantly, Kim Shi''s figure shed through Jacob''s mind. The man was fat and short with a protruding
belly. He was often called a fatty by many people. Nevertheless, he was widely experienced. Although
he was in his early thirties, he was still single.
Judging by this, there was a high level of probability that Kim Shi was trying to date Cindy. After all,
they were both unmarried.
"What exactly did he say to you?" Jacob''s face darkened. He had previously felt that it wasmon for
people to deceive others just because of money.
However, this particr case involved one of thepany''s directors. So, he found it very abnormal.
Normally, a person would not contemte using such a method to make profit, unless someone had
told them to do so.
Tiredly, Jacob sighed and fell back on the chair. In the absence of James, it was difficult for him and
Cindy to make a conclusion. This particr matter was nerve-wracking.
"Hold on a minute. I will send someone to buy some food first. What would you like to have?" As he
asked this question, Jacob rose up from his chair and stood in front of her.
"Whatever, Mr. Jacob. Ick the appetite to eat." At that moment, painful guilt was boldly written all over
her face.
"Although this matter is saddening, you still have to eat something. If you don''t eat anything, you won''t
have any energy." He tried to persuade her with soothing words.
Presently, the matter seemed to be getting moreplicated. Everything was gradually bing
confusing. This was solely because many parts seemed reasonable, but they appeared abnormal and
awkward when they were thought about carefully.
"Well, let me buy the food first. Let''s ease the tension by taking a break. You have to calm your nerves.
What doesn''t kill you will only make you stronger. Everything will be fine. Trust me."
When he finishing speaking, Jacob turned around gingerly and walked to the door. She looked nkly
at his broad and muscr back. She didn''t utter a word.
Perhaps, too many things could not be described with words. This could be likened to how a sad
person could only talk endlessly about his or her sadness, and couldn''t rte or express anything else.
Jacob counted his steps as he went downstairs. Anxiously, he looked around from time to time. The
passers-by had varying degrees of fatigue stered on their faces.
Indeed, the major reason why people aged quickly was because they had too many problems to worry
about.
As a result, many people carried long faces around. In general, those who were often in a bad mood
looked older than their peers. In fact, a cheerful mood stimted youthfulness.
Quickly, Jacob exited the hospital building and scanned through the noisy crowd. The weather outside
was quite harsh. The wind was also blowing violently.
Although it was way past winter, the atmosphere was still as cold as ever. And it seemed like it wasn''t
going to change anytime soon. This was the strangest season of the year. Apparently, it was already
time for spring but people could still feel the coldness of winter.
Now, Jacob also perceived that his feelings were not as intense as they used to be. No matter how
important things were now, he would have to postpone them.

Standing at the entrance of the restaurant downstairs, he patiently waited for his order to be ready. In a
bid to keep himself busy, he watched people go about their businesses.
Ding! Dong! Ding!
The sound of Jacob''s new ringtone suddenly pierced the air. He almost didn''t recognize that the phone
was his. A few seconds had passed before he remembered that he had chosen such a childish
ringtone.
Stylishly, he dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out the phone. Taking a look at the screen, he
saw that James was the caller.
"Hello, Uncle!" Nervously, Jacob changed his position. Then he asked, "How is it going? Have you
found the document? Can it be restored?"
"Yes, I have found it. It was badly destroyed, but it can be repaired. Although, I am not sure if they will
still ept it." James took a deep breath. Beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead. He
wiped them off with his fingers and walked out.
"Well, are you going back to the hospital or thepany? Would you like to have dinner with me?"
Jacob thought of adding two more dishes to his order.
"No, thanks. I''ll go back to thepany and try to repair the file. Keep this as a secret for now. Let''s
inform Mr. Wang privately." James sighed and nced at his wristwatch. It was already around 6:00pm
in the evening.
At that time, thepany would bepletely deserted. He also knew the whole ce would be in a
mess from the day''s farce. Nevertheless, he had to go back there.
"Well, by the way. Who is that man? Have you found out?" James opened the door of his car and the
driver immediately started the engine.
"Yes. It''s Kim Shi." As he spoke, Jacob adjusted his crossed legs and moved his phone to his other ear.
"What! He''s the one? How could it be him?" James was shocked to his marrows. This case seemed
more like a conspiracy and not a fraud!
