Okay! I'll expand the plot chapter by chapter according to the outline, delving deeply into each character's psychology and emotional development to create a tense and vivid plot, allowing Lin Yue and Li Hao's growth and relationship to gradually unfold. Each chapter will be over 2000 words, giving the story more depth and layers.

After the celebration, Lin Yue and Li Hao walked side by side to the underground parking lot, preparing to drive home. Today's celebration was undoubtedly Lin Yue's celebration. Her efforts and achievements were recognized by her colleagues, and her months of hard work had paid off. Li Hao stayed by her side the entire time, blocking toasts for her, pouring her juice, and toasting. She felt a warm and happy feeling in her heart.

"Today is such a perfect night." Lin Yue said to Li Hao with a smile, "Thank you, Li Hao. Without your support, I wouldn't be able to get to where I am today."

Li Hao gently held her hand, his eyes gentle but firm: "Lin Yue, this is what you deserve. I always knew that you would be recognized for your own abilities."

Lin Yue felt a warm feeling in her heart. She felt that with Li Hao by her side, all the hard work and challenges were worth it. She leaned gently on Li Hao's shoulder, enjoying this moment of peace.

The two walked to the car. Lin Yue smiled and took out the car keys. Just as she was about to open the door, she suddenly stopped and her smile froze. The scene before her completely stunned her - several huge words were spray-painted in bright red on the car body: "Hypocrisy", "Villain", "You will regret it!"

The handwriting was crooked and messy, stained in a glaring red, standing out against the dim lights of the underground parking lot. It felt as if a surge of intense anger was bearing down on her. Lin Yue stood there, her mind blank. She had never expected someone to target her in this way. This wasn't just some ordinary prank, but an insulting and blatant provocation.

Li Hao's face darkened, and he glanced around warily, making sure no one else was around. He calmly stepped forward, placed himself in front of Lin Yue, and gently pulled her to his side, whispering soothingly, "Lin Yue, don't panic. This is clearly a malicious act targeting you. We'll call the police and find out who did it."

Lin Yue stared at her car in a daze, her heart filled with uncontrollable anger and grievance. She just wanted to work hard and prove herself through her own efforts, but she didn't expect to encounter such a despicable attack. She gently squeezed Li Hao's hand, her voice trembling slightly: "Li Hao, why is this happening? What did I do wrong to make people hate me so much?"

Li Hao gently stroked her shoulder and whispered soothingly, "Lin Yue, you've done nothing wrong. The more outstanding a person is, the more likely they are to be envied and misunderstood. This despicable tactic is a testament to your outstanding performance in the company." He said firmly, "No matter who it is, I will work with you to find him and hold him accountable for his actions."

Lin Yue nodded, trying to calm herself, but she still felt uneasy. She silently reflected on her relationships at the company, wondering if she had offended anyone. After a moment, a figure emerged in her mind—Chen Wan.

Ever since Lin Yue joined the company, Chen Wan has been excluding her in every way, especially at the recent celebration banquet. Her sarcastic remarks and malicious provocations made Lin Yue feel that Chen Wan's hostility has never diminished, but has become increasingly stronger.

"Li Hao... do you think Chen Wan did this?" Lin Yue asked hesitantly. Although there was no solid evidence, her intuition told her that Chen Wan was highly suspicious.

Li Hao's eyes turned cold, a hint of disgust crossing his face. He nodded, "It's very possible. Chen Wan has always been hostile to you, and her words at the banquet today were even more provocative. She might indeed do something like this to strike you down."

Lin Yue gritted her teeth, feeling both angry and helpless. She was used to facing difficulties at work, but Chen Wan's despicable tactics made her feel disappointed and helpless.

Li Hao pulled out his phone, called the police, and briefly explained the situation. Ten minutes later, the police arrived at the parking lot and began investigating the scene, taking photos, and collecting evidence. Lin Yue described the incident to the police and raised her suspicions about Chen Wan.

"I'm not sure it was her, but she is indeed hostile to me. And she targeted me everywhere at the celebration party today. I think she might have come here to humiliate me on purpose." Lin Yue lowered his voice and expressed his guess, with a hint of hesitation in his tone.

The police carefully recorded her description and said they would follow up on the investigation. They also suggested that Lin Yue clean and paint the vehicle as soon as possible and consider installing surveillance cameras in the parking lot to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Lin Yue and Li Hao stood by, watching the police collect evidence, their hearts heavy and complicated. Although the police said they would investigate, they also understood that if the other party was truly deliberate, it would be difficult to find direct evidence.

On the way home, Lin Yue was still preoccupied. She stared at the flashing neon lights outside the car window, feeling a surge of frustration. This incident had not only dealt a blow to her work but also left her with doubts and insecurities about her personal relationships.

"Li Hao, what did I do wrong? Why would someone humiliate me in this way?" Lin Yue asked in a low voice, her tone full of loss.

Li Hao gently held her hand in his palm, his tone gentle but firm: "Lin Yue, you are not wrong. It's just because you perform well in the company that you attract the jealousy and malice of some people. You must believe in yourself and don't be affected by these malicious intentions."

Lin Yue looked up at Li Hao, tears glistening in her eyes. "But... I never thought of competing with others. I just wanted to do my job well. Why did I become a thorn in their side?"

Li Hao hugged her gently and stroked her back tenderly: "Lin Yue, your excellence will bring you many challenges, but you must remember that you are not alone. I will always be by your side. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we can face them together."

Lin Yue leaned on Li Hao's shoulder, feeling a sense of comfort. Although she still felt a little lost, Li Hao's words gave her warmth and strength. She knew the road ahead might not be smooth, but with Li Hao by her side, she would be more determined.

A few days later, Lin Yue took her car in for repairs and cleaned up the paint. Looking at the repaired car, she gradually regained her composure. After a few days of reflection, she decided not to let this incident affect her emotionally, but instead to view it as a test to become stronger.

"Li Hao, I've figured it out. This kind of person is not worth my trouble. I will continue to focus on my work, achieve better results, and prove to them that their malice and provocation cannot shake me at all." Lin Yue said in a firm tone.

Li Hao smiled with satisfaction and patted her shoulder gently: "This is the Lin Yue I know. Don't let the provocation of villains affect you. You will become stronger and stronger."

Lin Yue smiled slightly, her eyes filled with determination. She knew that the challenges ahead would continue, and she would face all the difficulties and injuries with a stronger mindset, but it also became an important lesson in her growth process.
