Double evil in the business district
Chapter 340: Dangerous Situation: Xiao Yue's In-depth Investigation
Xiao Yue's eyes were fixed on the scattered clues in the document, like a cheetah staring at its prey.
These clues are like scattered puzzle pieces, which are meaningless when viewed individually, but when put together they point to an unsettling truth - Mark's betrayal may be deeper than she thought.
Her intuition told her that things were far from over.
It is not enough to just win a business war, she has to completely eliminate all hidden dangers.
"I want to go to Mark's company in person." Xiao Yue's tone was firm, with unquestionable strength.
Shen Ting stood beside her, his deep eyes revealing a hint of worry, but also full of support.
"I'll go with you."
Xiao Yue shook his head, a determined look in his eyes.
"No, I'll go by myself this time. It's safer for you to stay outside and meet me."
Shen Ting knew Xiao Yue's character, and he would not easily change his mind once he made a decision.
He gently held her hand, giving her silent encouragement.
"Be careful, I'll wait for you to come back."
As night fell, Xiao Yue and Detective Liu disguised themselves as cleaners and sneaked into Mark's company building.
In the silent corridor, the only sounds were their light footsteps and breathing.
There was a sense of tension in the air, as if some danger was lurking in the darkness.
"The security system here is more stringent than I thought." Detective Liu said in a low voice, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
Xiao Yue's heartbeat also began to accelerate, and his palms began to sweat slightly.
Just now, they almost triggered the infrared alarm.
If she hadn't reacted quickly and grabbed Detective Liu in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"It seems that Mark has been prepared for this." Xiao Yue took a deep breath and tried to keep calm.
She looked around, her eyes keenly taking in every detail.
The surveillance camera at the end of the corridor flashed red light, watching their every move like a cold eye.
Suddenly, Xiao Yue's gaze stopped at an inconspicuous corner.
There's a small vent there, maybe...
"Detective Liu, cover me!" Xiao Yue whispered.
Detective Liu immediately understood and blocked the blind spot of the surveillance camera.
Xiao Yue quickly walked to the vent and took out a small screwdriver from his tool kit...
There was a soft "click" and the lock opened.
"What's inside?" Detective Liu asked nervously.
Xiao Yue didn't answer, but simply shone the flashlight into the vent. The dim light illuminated a narrow passage...
"Perhaps this is the breakthrough."
Xiao Yue carefully crawled into the ventilation duct, and the narrow space made her feel a little stuffy.
The smell of dust filled the air, causing her to cough a few times.
The flashlight beam flickered in the darkness, illuminating the intricate network of pipes and wiring within the passage.
She held her breath, tried not to make any noise, and moved through the pipes like a nimble cat.
After an unknown amount of time, she finally reached the other end of the vent.
This is a small archive room filled with documents and materials.
Xiao Yue's heart was pounding, and she felt that she was getting closer and closer to the truth.
She quickly scanned the room, her eyes fixed on a locked metal cabinet.
Her intuition told her that something important was inside.
She took out a set of professional lock-picking tools from her tool kit and fiddled with the lock cylinder skillfully.
There was a "click" and the lock opened.
Xiao Yue gently opened the cabinet door, revealing a thick stack of documents.
She flipped through the pages quickly, her sharp eyes capturing every detail.
"Found it!" Xiao Yue exclaimed in a low voice. She found a document marked "Top Secret".
She carefully put the documents away and returned the way she had come.
When she came out of the vent, Detective Liu was waiting for her anxiously.
"How is it?" he asked impatiently.
Xiao Yue raised the document in his hand and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"We found a breakthrough." She and Detective Liu looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise.
This small success gave them great encouragement.
However, they didn't know that danger was approaching quietly.
Mark seemed to realize that someone was investigating him, and began to conduct a counter-investigation on Xiao Yue and others.
He sent his men to secretly follow Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue walked out of the Mark Company building and keenly felt that someone was following her.
She calmly quickened her pace and turned into an alley.
The stalker followed closely behind.
Xiao Yue showed a sneer on her face. She had already discovered the follower and deliberately led him here.
She dodged around a corner, then spun around quickly, grabbed her stalker by the collar, and pinned him against the wall.
"Who sent you?" she asked in a cold tone.
The stalker struggled but couldn't break free from Xiao Yue's grip.
Xiao Yue found a photo from the stalker, and the person in the photo was actually herself.
"It's indeed him." Xiao Yue's eyes flashed and he tore the photo into pieces.
"Go back and tell Mark that I've seen through his tricks a long time ago." After saying that, she let go of the stalker and turned to leave.
Secretary Zhou was anxiously waiting for news from Xiao Yue.
When she learned that Xiao Yue had gotten rid of the stalker, she breathed a sigh of relief and finally let go of her worries.
"Mr. Xiao, I'm so glad you're okay."
Xiao Yue returned to his office and spread the documents on the table.
Every page of the document is like a sharp knife, pointing directly at Mark's betrayal.
Suddenly, her eyes stopped at a signature at the end of the document...
"Wait, this signature..." Xiao Yue muttered to himself, his face suddenly changing.
Xiao Yue's eyes were fixed on the scribbled signature at the end of the document, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
This signature was not Mark's, but a name she was familiar with—Chen, the industry tycoon, the competitor who had been seeking cooperation with Xiao!
A chill ran up from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and she felt dizzy, as if she was in the middle of a huge vortex of conspiracy.
Mark's collusion with Chen, an industry tycoon, is more complicated and dangerous than she expected.
She immediately called Shen Ting, her voice trembling with haste: "Shen Ting, I found out! Mark and industry tycoon Chen are colluding! I found their cooperation agreement!"
Shen Ting's calm voice came from the other end of the phone: "Calm down and tell me the details."
Xiao Yue took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and told Shen Ting the contents of the document in detail.
"Well done, Yueyue." Shen Ting's voice was filled with praise, but his tone remained calm. "The clue you provided is very important. I will arrange for someone to verify it immediately."
Hearing Shen Ting's praise, Xiao Yue felt a warm feeling in her heart.
She felt that her efforts were recognized, and all the fatigue and stress disappeared.
Shen Ting's voice came again, gentle but firm: "Yueyue, you've worked hard. Rest early, and leave the rest to me."
"Yeah." Xiao Yue responded softly and hung up the phone.
She leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and felt the warmth and strength that Shen Ting gave her.
The desk lamp on the desk emitted a soft light, illuminating Xiao Yue's tired face.
She gently rubbed her sore eyes, picked up the water cup on the table and took a sip of water.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door. "Come in," Xiao Yue said.
Secretary Zhou pushed the door open and walked in with a look of anxiety on his face.
"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Mark just called and said he wants to discuss a new cooperative project with us."
Xiao Yue frowned slightly, his heart full of doubts.
What exactly is Mark planning by proposing cooperation at this time?
She stood up and walked to the window, gazing at the brilliantly lit city in the distance, and muttered to herself, "New cooperation..."
