It Started With a Kiss: Leng Shao's Beloved Wife

victory is in sight

"What?!" Luo Yichen's fingers tightened around the phone, their joints turning pale. He responded briefly before hanging up, his expression terribly gloomy.

"What's wrong?" Wu Xinyan noticed that something was wrong with him and her heart started to lift.

Luo Yichen took a deep breath, trying to calm his surging emotions. He spoke in a serious tone, "The news has been confirmed. Xinghai Group has been ordered to suspend operations for rectification due to suspected financial fraud, malicious market manipulation, and other violations. The relevant responsible persons have been placed under investigation."

Xinghai Group was their biggest competitor and the instigator of this business crisis. Now that Xinghai had collapsed, it was undoubtedly great news for the Luo Group, meaning that they had finally won this war without gunpowder.

Wu Xinyan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and a joyful smile spread across her face: "Great! We finally won!"

Luo Yichen's lips curled slightly, but the solemnity between his brows lingered. He knew that the downfall of Xinghai Group was only a matter of time, but he hadn't expected it to happen so soon. But this also meant that the manipulator behind the scenes had completely lost its most powerful pawn.

The news quickly spread throughout the Luo Group, and the entire company erupted in jubilation. This sudden crisis had left everyone on edge, but now, with the clouds finally clearing and the moon visible, everyone's face was filled with the joy of victory.

Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan held a grand celebration banquet inside the company to reward all the employees who had worked so hard for the company. The banquet hall was filled with clinking glasses and laughter, as everyone celebrated this hard-earned victory.

"Cheers!" Luo Yichen raised his glass, his eyes sweeping over the familiar faces. "Thank you all for your dedication and hard work during this period. The success of the Luo Group today is inseparable from the contributions of every employee! I'm proud of you all!"

"Cheers to Roche Group!" the employees shouted in unison, their eyes gleaming with excitement and pride.

Wu Xinyan stood beside Luo Yichen, looking at the bustling scene before her, a gratified smile on her face. They had gone through so many hardships together, and finally welcomed their victory.

However, at this moment of celebration, Analyst Liu hurriedly walked over to Luo Yichen and whispered, "Mr. Luo, you'd better take a look at this..."

His tone was solemn, and he was holding a copy of the latest market analysis report, his expression somewhat grim. Luo Yichen took the report, glanced at the data and charts on it, and his brow, which had been relaxed, furrowed again.

"What is this?" Wu Xinyan noticed the change in his expression and felt a little uneasy.

Luo Yichen did not answer, but handed the report in his hand to her, then looked up at Analyst Liu and asked in a deep voice: "When did it happen?" Luo Yichen took the report, his eyes swept over the data and charts on it, and his originally relaxed brows were furrowed again.

Analyst Liu replied solemnly, "Just in the past two days, a new company called Tianshu Technology has suddenly emerged. They've released a piece of software that's very similar in functionality to our flagship product, and seemingly even more technologically advanced. In just a few days, they've taken a significant portion of our market share."

Wu Xinyan quickly scanned the report in her hand, her expression gradually becoming serious. The report showed that Tianshu Technology's software was not only powerful but also extremely competitively priced, and its user experience was highly praised, posing a significant threat to the Roche Group.

"How could such a strong opponent suddenly appear?" Wu Xinyan murmured to herself, her heart full of doubts.

"Could it be the remnants of the Xinghai Group behind this?" Supplier Ma speculated. "I heard they've been secretly developing a new product to use against us."

"Impossible," Analyst Liu shook his head. "Xinghai Group is currently struggling to take care of itself and simply can't afford to pull off such a major move. Furthermore, according to my analysis, the technical level of this software is far beyond Xinghai Group's capabilities."

Luo Yichen remained silent, his brow furrowed, lost in thought. He knew that the emergence of Tianshu Technology was no accident, and there must be a greater conspiracy behind it.

"I'll do some more research," Analyst Liu said, "and see if I can find more information about this company."

"Wait," Luo Yichen suddenly said, "Let's focus on checking their core team members, especially the technical director, to see if there is anything suspicious."

"Yes, Mr. Luo." Analyst Liu nodded and left.

Luo Yichen's gaze fell on the report in his hand again. Tianshu Technology, this name seemed to carry an invisible pressure, making him feel a little uneasy.

A few days later, Ma, the supplier, brought a piece of news: "I've heard some news about Tianshu Technology. It's said that their technical director is a senior executive who previously left the Roche Group, named..."

Before Ma Supplier could finish, Wu Xinyan interrupted him: "Who is it?"

Supplier Ma lowered his voice and said a name, which immediately stunned Wu Xinyan and Luo Yichen.

"How could it be him..." Wu Xinyan muttered to herself, and a familiar figure appeared in her mind.

Three days later, Wu Xinyan embarked on a business trip to City A, the headquarters of Tianshu Technology, and she had only one purpose for this trip: to find out the truth.

The plane landed at City A International Airport. Wu Xinyan stepped out of the cabin and took a deep breath. A familiar atmosphere greeted her. City A was where she lived during her college years and it held many fond memories for her.

However, at this moment, there was no trace of nostalgia in her heart, only heavy pressure and uneasiness.

As she walked out of the airport, a black car slowly drove up and stopped in front of her. The car door opened, and a familiar figure stepped out of the car... As she walked out of the airport, a black car slowly drove up and stopped in front of her. The car door opened, and a familiar figure stepped out of the car.

"Xinyan, long time no see." The man was wearing simple casual clothes and had a gentle smile on his face. He was Wu Xinyan's senior in college and a former technical backbone of Luo's Group - Lin Feng.

"Senior, it's really you!" Wu Xinyan looked at him in surprise, feeling a mixture of emotions. Lin Feng's departure had caused quite a stir in the company, with many people saying he left in anger because he was dissatisfied with Luo Yichen's management style. However, Wu Xinyan had always felt that the matter was more complicated than that.

"Let's talk in the car." Lin Feng saw her confusion and motioned her to get in the car.

Inside the car, Wu Xinyan asked directly, "Senior, why did you leave Luo's? Why did you join Tianshu Technology?"

Lin Feng was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Luo family is no longer the Luo family of the past. Yi Chen..." He hesitated to speak, as if he had something to hide.

"Senior, I know you still have feelings for Luo and trust Yi Chen. Can you tell me what the background of Tianshu Technology is? Why are they targeting Luo?" Wu Xinyan looked at him earnestly.

Lin Feng sighed and said, "Tianshu Technology's background is very complicated, and what I know is limited. But what I can tell you is that their goal is not just to defeat Luo Che, but to completely control the entire industry..."

Lin Feng's words made Wu Xinyan's heart sink. She realized that the conspiracy behind this competition was far more complicated and dangerous than she had imagined.

After returning to Luo's Group, Wu Xinyan immediately told Luo Yichen the information she had obtained from Lin Feng. After hearing this, Luo Yichen's face became extremely solemn.

"It seems we have underestimated our opponents," Luo Yichen said solemnly, "They are well prepared and have ambitious goals. We must find their weaknesses as soon as possible and turn defeat into victory."

Based on the intelligence provided by Lin Feng, Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan formulated a series of response strategies, preparing to take advantage of Tianshu Technology's eagerness for quick success, lure the enemy out of its hole, and defeat it in one fell swoop.

However, just as they were about to implement their plan, a series of technical failures suddenly occurred within the company. Servers crashed, data was lost, core programs were maliciously tampered with... The entire company fell into chaos.

"How could this happen?" Wu Xinyan looked at the flashing red alarm on the screen, feeling uneasy.

"Someone is behind this!" Luo Yichen's face turned pale. He realized that they had fallen into the enemy's trap.

"Quick, activate the emergency plan!"

However, it seemed too late. The head of the technical department came running over, sweating profusely, and said anxiously, "Mr. Luo, this is bad. Our firewall has been breached, and now all the systems are..."

Before he finished speaking, Luo Yichen's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and his expression suddenly became even uglier.

"Hey?"

"Mr. Luo, long time no see..." A cold voice came from the other end of the phone, "It seems your company has run into some trouble. Do you want my help?"

Luo Yichen clenched his fists and spoke word by word, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do? Haha, you will know soon..."

The voice on the other end of the line was filled with teasing and threats, then abruptly stopped. Luo Yichen suddenly raised his head and looked at Wu Xinyan, his eyes filled with coldness. "It seems that behind this victory, there is a greater crisis hidden..."

Luo Yichen hung up the phone, and a deathly silence fell over the office. The head of the technical department anxiously awaited instructions, but Luo Yichen remained silent with a sullen expression. Wu Xinyan walked over to him and gently held his hand, silently conveying strength.

"What should we do now?" Wu Xinyan asked in a low voice, with a barely perceptible tremor in her tone.

Luo Yichen took a deep breath, his eyes growing firmer. "Our top priority is to find the traitor and repair the system. We can't let them succeed." He turned to the head of the technical department, "Immediately investigate all system vulnerabilities and search for suspicious activity records. We must find this person!"

"Yes!" The head of the technical department took the order and left, and a tense atmosphere filled the office.

Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan began to act separately. Luo Yichen summoned the company's senior management to urgently deploy countermeasures and secretly arranged for personnel to investigate suspicious individuals. Wu Xinyan went to the technical department to assist the technicians in repairing the system and recovering the data.

Time ticked by, yet the Luo Group's systems remained paralyzed. The enemy's attack methods were extremely sophisticated, the technical department had made no progress, and the insider had seemingly vanished, leaving no trace.

"Are we just going to give up like this?" Analyst Liu looked at the garbled characters on the screen and lowered his head helplessly.

Wu Xinyan didn't say anything, but stared at the computer screen more intently. Suddenly, she seemed to realize something and sat up straight.

"Wait, this instruction..." Wu Xinyan pointed at the code on the screen, frowning. "This instruction is written in a very special way, like..."

"Like Lin Feng's style?" Luo Yichen's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Wu Xinyan turned around suddenly and saw Luo Yichen standing at the door with a serious expression. He was holding a document containing Lin Feng's personal information.

"I just had someone investigate Lin Feng's background and found some very interesting things..." Luo Yichen walked over to Wu Xinyan and handed her the documents. "Perhaps, we have all been deceived by him..."

Wu Xinyan took the document and quickly scanned it. She was shocked by its contents. It turned out that Lin Feng's true identity was far from simple. His approach to the Luo Group and his joining Tianshu Technology were all premeditated.

"How could this happen..." Wu Xinyan muttered to herself, her heart filled with shock and confusion.

Luo Yichen looked at her, a complex emotion flickering in his eyes. "It seems this victory is only superficial. The real enemy may have just begun to show its fangs..."

At this moment, Luo Yichen's phone rang again. He glanced at the caller ID and frowned slightly.

"Mr. Luo, long time no see. I hope you're all well." A woman's voice came from the other end of the line, charming yet with a hint of provocation. "I heard your company has been in some trouble recently. I came here specially to celebrate for you..."

Luo Yichen gripped the phone tightly and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

"Why, you can't even recognize my voice?" The woman chuckled, "Luo Yichen, you really are a forgetful person... I'm Su Jiuai."

Luo Yichen's pupils suddenly constricted, and the fingers gripping his phone turned white. He suddenly looked up and out the window, only to see a red sports car slowly approaching and stopping in front of the company. The door opened, and a woman in a red dress stepped out. She was tall and beautiful, with a playful smile on her face.

It’s Su’s old love.

Luo Yichen put down his phone, stood up, and walked out the door without saying a word. Seeing this, Wu Xinyan felt a surge of unease in her heart, and she hurriedly followed him...
