The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

"How about it, are you surprised? Guess, will the work Yu Lili bring out later be exactly the same as mine?" Sally looked at Xu Yingying provocatively, with a slight smile on her lips.

However, before Sally's elation could last long, something unexpected happened—Yu Lili, who was next on stage, was holding a painting completely different from Sally's. Even more astonishing was that Yu Lili's work was clearly superior and more perfect in terms of composition, color, and detail.

At this time, Xu Yingying, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke slowly and leisurely: "Are you surprised? Do you really think Lili would make the same mistake as you?" Hearing this, Sally could no longer remain calm. Her eyes widened and she exclaimed in disbelief: "This... How is this possible? You, you, what on earth did you do?" Facing Sally's questioning, Xu Yingying sneered and responded mercilessly: "Humph, if you have anything to say, wait until we get to the police station and tell it slowly!"

Time goes back to the quiet dusk of yesterday.

The setting sun streamed through the windows into the spacious, bright office. Xu Yingying and Yu Lili were intently working on today's crucial design drafts. After a strenuous effort, they finally finished their work. After a moment's relaxation, they smiled at each other and prepared to return home to savor this rare downtime.

However, just as they stepped out of the office, Xiaowu, the intelligent companion who had been silently accompanying Xu Yingying, suddenly called out, "Host, please pay attention! According to the store's real-time surveillance footage, a suspicious individual sneaked into the office after you two left."

Xu Yingying's heart tightened when she heard this, but she quickly regained her composure and turned to Xiao Wu, saying, "Xiao Wu, please continue to keep a close eye on this person to see if he takes any further action."

Xiao Wu responded quickly as always: "Okay, host, don't worry!"

So, last night, Xu Yingying witnessed the mysterious figure quietly enter the studio through surveillance footage and hurriedly exit a short time later, a camera in hand. With her keen intuition, she deduced that this person most likely used the camera to photograph the meticulously crafted designs. Among the many people who competed with them and harbored hostility, Sally was undoubtedly the most likely suspect.

Xu Yingying, already forming a preliminary understanding, immediately shared her findings and her inner speculation with her close friend Yu Lili. Yu Lili agreed without hesitation and immediately began rethinking and drawing a new design draft upon returning home.

When the judges announced loudly that Yu Lili had successfully advanced to the finals, Sally, who was originally full of confidence and thought she had won, suddenly changed her face. Her eyes burned with rage, as if she wanted to devour the entire arena.

However, something unexpected happened. Because there were no surveillance cameras installed in the office, the limited surveillance coverage within the store was unable to clearly capture the man's actions after entering the office. Faced with this situation, although everyone knew it was a crime, they were unable to bring Sally to justice due to the lack of solid evidence.

Xu Yingying was furious and dissatisfied with this. Her face flushed red, and her chest heaved violently. Yu Lili, who was standing by, quickly stepped forward, gently put her arm around Xu Yingying's shoulders, and softly said, "Come on, dear, don't be angry anymore. It's not surprising that someone as unscrupulous and unscrupulous as Sally would do anything. But it doesn't matter. Tomorrow is the finals. Even if she has incredible skills, there's no way she'll be able to plagiarize successfully this time!"

After hearing her friend's words, Xu Yingying calmed down a little, nodded and responded: "Yes, you are right. We have to be extra careful tomorrow. That woman is full of bad intentions. Who knows what insidious tricks she will play?" Originally, Xu Yingying did not care much about who would win the championship of this game, but now that she knew her opponent was Sally, she secretly swore in her heart that no matter what, the championship must not fall into Sally's hands.

At that moment, Lin Weiye, who had been waiting for his wife at home, noticed Xu Yingying. When he saw her face clearly, he couldn't help but frown slightly, secretly surprised. Xu Yingying looked even gloomier today than she had yesterday, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Lin Weiye frowned slightly and dialed Cheng Cheng's number impatiently: "Hello, Cheng Cheng, it's been so long, why haven't you found out the truth yet?" His tone was filled with a hint of anxiety and dissatisfaction.

Cheng Cheng on the other end of the phone quickly replied, "Mr. Lin, don't worry. We've already uncovered some important clues. The first-place finisher in the preliminary round was actually a former colleague of your wife's business partner, Yu Lili! Furthermore, Yu Lili's former company is one of the sponsors of this design competition."

After listening to Cheng Cheng's report, Lin Weiye pondered for a moment, then decisively ordered, "Is that so... Then you should conduct a thorough investigation into what exactly happened at the scene today. Remember, it must be detailed and accurate."

Cheng Cheng responded without hesitation: "Okay, Mr. Lin. I'll do it right away."

Lin Weiye then added: "Hurry up and give me a clear answer in half an hour." After that, he hung up the phone without hesitation.

After receiving Lin's instructions, Cheng Cheng sprang into action. He was terrified, aware of the urgency of the situation and unable to afford even a moment's delay. He immediately began contacting those involved in the incident, urging them to get to the bottom of the matter as quickly as possible.

After a busy and intense investigation, Cheng Cheng finally succeeded in obtaining key information in the last few minutes and quickly passed it back to Lin Weiye.

After receiving the message, Lin Weiye immediately read it carefully. After a while, he knew everything that happened during the game, including a series of details such as Xu Yingying and her friends' store had actually called the police.

After understanding the whole situation, Lin Weiye frowned, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out. He took a deep breath and called Cheng Cheng again.
