Chapter 81 - Rose Stamp (1/2)
After Zhi Hei left, Susu's attention focused on her bag where the invitation was placed. Lily sighed, ”Hun, if you want to look at that invitation, you could always take it out. You're obviously interested in it. I wouldn't mind even if you took out a magnifying glass to inspect every word of it in front of me.”
Susu smiled, ”Thanks, but I'm not particularly interested in his offer. I am only interested in the rose stamp that his company used on the envelope.”
”The stamp? What's so unique about it?” Lily asked as Susu took out the envelope and showed it to her.
”The unique part lies here.” Susu pointed at an extremely small leaf on the corner of the rose stamp that is barely noticeable.
”If you hadn't pointed it out, I wouldn't have known that there was a leaf there. But still, what's so special about this corner?” Lily repeated her question as she squinted on the small design.
Susu took a picture of the stamp and opened it in one of the editing applications that she used to view images in a high resolution on her cell phone. She zoomed in and adjusted the settings until the stamp is visibly clear enough for Lily to see.
Lily's eyes widened as she blinked multiple times. She played around with the image and zoomed in and out of it to make sure her eyes weren't making tricks. ”This.. but how? Wait, no, but then..”
”I'm the owner of the design. It isn't a coincidence for that leaf to shape out my initials, and I have many other ways to prove that this design belongs to me. I am just curious as to how my design ended up in him hands.” Susu clarified her reason for spacing out earlier.
”Maybe your design leaked out accidentally? Where did you keep your files?” Lily handed the phone back to her and took a look at the envelope.
”It is impossible for this design to leak because the original source had been destroyed. The laptop I used for this design was damaged, and none of the files were recoverable. This should have been destroyed years ago.. unless..”
”Unless somebody took your designs before your laptop was damaged...” Lily finished the sentence for her.
”Or..my laptop was never damaged to the point that my files were unrecoverable. Either way, I think I know who it was who could've done this. Forget this whole design thing for a second, how did Huang Corps get this design? Is it just a coincidence that they used it for my invitation for me to see?” Susu thought of countless possibilities and decided to talk about this with Chen Mu later.
”Seems like we have a lot of questions and very little answers. What do you want to do now? Are you going to look for Mister Huang? Or are you going to wait for Chen Mu to come home and discuss this with him?” Lily could tell that Susu had a plan in her mind.
