Volume 2 Chapter 23: Unexpected

"Lower your head a bit, I don't want him to see me," I whispered to Dou Nan, as if we were lovers sneaking around in the shadows.

Dou Nan gave me a puzzled look, but complied, bending down to take a sip of his drink before asking, "Did you—quit your job?"

"No," I wished I could just bury my head in the table, not noticing the gloom in Dou Nan's eyes. "I haven't seen them all day today. But—you mentioned there's a mole; haven't they caught them yet?"

"There probably isn't one. Or maybe the Lin Brothers suspect something, but they can't be sure. The mole who knows the contents of the bid must be one of the higher-ups in the company. For someone like that, you can't make a move without solid evidence, otherwise it would create chaos in the company's management. And even if they were to act, they would need to eliminate any external interferences, ensuring that whatever they do minimizes the damage to the company."
