After Transmigrating into a book, I Was Played By a Black Lotus

Chapter 56 Sabotage

Bai Xiying sat at her workstation with a despondent expression, radiating an aura of gloom and despair.

"Xiying, Xiying?"

Wang Xiaoxiao saw Bai Xiying's state as soon as she arrived in the morning and called out to her several times with concern.

Bai Xiying, with a pale face, slowly replied, "Sister Xiaoxiao, the work I submitted is lost."

"What?!"

"What happened? What's going on?!"

Wang Xiaoxiao's voice was urgent as she looked at her anxiously.

Bai Xiying seemed to have lost her spirit: "I brought my computer and USB drive yesterday. I was in such a rush to leave last night that I forgot the USB drive here. When I came back today to find it, I realized it was gone."

Wang Xiaoxiao remembered that Bai Xiying had mentioned just before leaving work yesterday that she had noticed a small detail she forgot to change and planned to fix it at home.

She tried to comfort her: "I remember you saved a copy on the computer too, right? You can use that."

Saying this, Wang Xiaoxiao felt a bit uncertain herself, as if there were still a backup, Bai Xiying wouldn't be acting this way.

"...It's gone." Bai Xiying's face was ashen. "What I had on my computer suddenly disappeared."

Wang Xiaoxiao stared at her in shock.

After a while, Bai Xiying murmured, "I know, I trust you, Sister Xiaoxiao."

She remembered that they had saved two copies: one on the USB drive and one in the private folder on the workstation computer, which Wang Xiaoxiao was aware of.

Wang Xiaoxiao's shoulders slumped as she glanced suspiciously around at the colleagues who were trickling in. She hesitated, "Xiying, this must be the work of someone..."

Bai Xiying's eyes flickered, her heart sinking: "But there's no time left. The deadline is tonight. Will I even find it?"

The atmosphere grew tense.

Suddenly, Wang Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up: "You should go find President Mu. Tell her about it and ask her to check the security footage to see who did it."

Bai Xiying's hair was a bit disheveled, covering her deep-set eyes. "Thank you, Sister Xiaoxiao. I'll go find President Mu right now."

With newfound hope, Bai Xiying rushed to President Mu's office.
