Double evil in the business district

Chapter 144: The Crisis is Over and Qing Anran

Xiao Yue rubbed her sore eyes. The bitter smell of instant coffee filled the office, but it could not dispel the anxiety in her heart at all.

As time passed, the red alarm light on the information system flashed faster and faster, like a time bomb that could explode at any time.

She felt like she was trapped in a giant spider web. The more she struggled, the more powerless she felt.

"Haven't you found the key evidence yet?" Shen Ting's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of barely perceptible worry.

"Not yet..." Xiao Yue's voice was a little hoarse. She had been working for more than 30 hours straight, barely closing her eyes. "The system could crash again at any time. I..."

"Don't worry," Shen Ting said in a calm but firm tone, "I believe you."

These four simple words were like a warm current that flowed into Xiao Yue's tired heart.

She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and sorted out all the clues again.

Accountant Li, Xiaoya, the USB flash drive, the mastermind behind the scenes...

These fragmented clues spun rapidly in her mind, but she could never piece them together into a complete picture.

Suddenly, she remembered a detail that she had previously overlooked.

When the information system crashed for the first time, Secretary Ma mentioned a seemingly insignificant piece of information - the senior executive left work early that day.

At that time, everyone thought it was just a coincidence. After all, senior executives usually work diligently, so it is normal for them to leave work early occasionally.

But looking back now, this "coincidence" seems particularly abrupt.

Xiao Yue immediately retrieved the company's surveillance video and carefully checked the whereabouts of the senior executive after he left the company.

The surveillance footage showed that the senior executive did not go home directly, but went to a remote cafe to meet with a mysterious man.

Xiao Yue's heart began beating violently, and a strong premonition came to his mind.

She immediately contacted Detective Huang and asked him to investigate the identity of this mysterious man.

At the same time, good news came from Programmer Liu.

Under the guidance of the experts invited by Shen Ting, Programmer Liu finally found a way to repair the key module.

"Wait!" Xiao Yue suddenly stopped Programmer Liu, who was about to take the final step. "Don't move yet. I need to confirm something."

She sent the photo of the senior executive meeting with the mysterious man to Programmer Liu, and pointed to a USB flash drive in the mysterious man's hand and said, "Take a look, is this USB flash drive related to the virus program that caused the system crash?"

After a careful comparison, Programmer Liu's face suddenly became serious: "Yes, it's this USB drive! The virus program was uploaded to the company server from this USB drive!"

A gleam of light flashed in Xiao Yue's eyes, and all the clues were finally connected.

She picked up the phone and dialed Shen Ting's number: "I found the key evidence..." Her voice was low and firm, "It's Director Gao..." Xiao Yue projected the surveillance video of Director Gao's meeting with the mysterious man, as well as a close-up photo of the mysterious man's USB flash drive onto the big screen, and the entire conference room fell silent.

Everyone's eyes were focused on these hard evidences. Director Gao's face turned pale in an instant, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

He opened his mouth, wanting to argue, but found that any explanation seemed pale and powerless.

"Director Gao," Xiao Yue's voice was cold and firm, "Do you have anything else to say?"

The senior executive slumped in his chair with a blank look in his eyes. He knew that everything was over.

At this moment, two police officers pushed the door open, walked straight to Manager Gao, and showed him handcuffs. "Mr. Gao, you are suspected of industrial espionage. Please come with us." When Manager Gao was taken away, his eyes met Xiao Yue's, and his eyes were full of regret and resentment.

There was a burst of warm applause in the conference room, and the employees all looked at Xiao Yue with admiration.

Security guard Zhao blushed with excitement. He patted Xiao Yue's shoulder vigorously, "Ms. Xiao, you're amazing! You're the person I admire most in my life!" Even the usually taciturn programmer Liu couldn't help but give a thumbs-up, "Ms. Xiao, you're my idol!"

Xiao Yue felt a little embarrassed by the sudden praise. She smiled slightly and turned her gaze to Shen Ting in the crowd.

Shen Ting's eyes were gentle and affectionate. He strode up to Xiao Yue and, in full view of everyone, hugged her tightly in his arms.

Xiao Yue felt his strong heartbeat and the warmth coming from him, and an indescribable sense of security surged in her heart.

The employees around them applauded and sent their blessings for their love story.

"Okay," Shen Ting patted Xiao Yue's back gently, "Now that the crisis is over, you can have a good rest."

Xiao Yue raised her head from Shen Ting's arms, her eyes firm, "Wait a minute, there's one more thing..." She turned to look at Programmer Liu, "How's the system repair going?" A hint of hesitation flashed across Programmer Liu's face, "I... I'm trying hard..." Beads of sweat oozed from Programmer Liu's forehead, his fingers moving rapidly on the keyboard, and lines of code poured down like a waterfall.

Xiao Yue stood behind him, staring at the screen intently, as if he wanted to engrave every line of code in his mind.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the air was filled with tension.

Finally, after the last string of code was entered, the red alarm light on the screen stopped flashing and was replaced by a green light, symbolizing normal operation.

"Success!" Programmer Liu jumped up excitedly and hugged Zhao Baoan beside him. The two cheered excitedly.

There was warm applause in the office, and employees expressed their congratulations to Programmer Liu and Xiao Yue.

Xiao's enterprise's information system returned to normal, and all businesses resumed operations.

Just one week later, Xiao's company saw a significant increase in orders and the number of its partners. The partners that had been affected previously expressed their willingness to continue cooperation, and even many new partners came to them on their own initiative.

Xiao's Enterprise has completely overcome the crisis and ushered in new development opportunities.

Xiao Yue's contribution was highly recognized by the company. Not only did she receive a generous bonus, she was also promoted to the company's security director, reporting directly to the chairman.

She jumped from an ordinary security investigator to one of the core figures in the company.

In the office, Xiao Yue stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the hustle and bustle of the city.

She knew that although the corporate espionage crisis had been resolved, business competition would never stop.

New challenges are still waiting for her, and she must always stay vigilant in order to stay invincible in the fierce competition.

She picked up her cell phone and dialed a number, "Help me check... the overseas accounts that have been in close contact with senior executives recently..." A low voice came from the other end of the phone: "Understood." Xiao Yue hung up the phone and looked out the window with a deep and firm look.

Suddenly, her phone on the table vibrated, and an anonymous text message appeared on the screen: "You did a good job, but... the game has just begun."
