Double evil in the business district
Chapter 347: The Mist: Xiao Yue's Unyielding Quest
Detective Liu's deep voice came from the other end of the phone, "Mr. Xiao, Mark just left the Xiao Building and is now heading towards the suburbs."
"Suburbs?" Xiao Yue repeated these two words, and a flash of inspiration came to his mind. "Continue tracking. I want to know where exactly he went and who he met with."
"clear."
Xiao Yue hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and tried to stay calm.
Mark's behavior of cutting off the clues undoubtedly confirmed his guess.
He really has a problem.
She turned on the computer again and retrieved all the information she had collected about Mark, carefully checking it line by line.
Financial statements, project contracts, email correspondence...
Everything flashed quickly in her eyes.
The office was very quiet, with only the sound of typing on the keyboard and the occasional rustling of papers as Xiao Yue flipped through them.
Outside the window, the hustle and bustle of the city was isolated by thick glass, as if it had nothing to do with the world she lived in.
As time passed, Xiao Yue's brows furrowed more and more.
She felt like she was in a fog, and everything around her seemed blurry.
Mark was like a cunning fox, moving through the fog, leaving behind false footprints that disturbed her vision.
Suddenly, Xiao Yue's gaze stopped at Mark's travel records for the past month.
She discovered that Mark frequently went to a private club in the suburbs.
The owner of this club was none other than Chen, the industry tycoon who had a feud with her before.
"Boss Chen..." Xiao Yue muttered to himself, with a vague guess in his mind.
Could it be that Mark and Boss Chen have teamed up?
At this moment, news came from Xiao's internal intelligence department that some of the intelligence previously obtained about Mark may have been deliberately misleading by Mark.
Xiao Yue's heart sank suddenly, and she realized that she might have fallen into a trap set by Mark.
She immediately adjusted the direction of the investigation and focused on the relationship between Mark and Boss Chen.
However, as the investigation deepened, she found that things were far more complicated than she had imagined.
The relationship between Mark and Boss Chen is complicated, and there seems to be a bigger conspiracy behind it.
The pressure surged like a tide, and Xiao Yue felt that it was difficult to breathe.
But she did not give up. Her eyes remained firm. She was determined to find a new breakthrough and uncover the truth behind the layers of fog.
"Shen Ting..." Xiao Yue whispered, picked up the phone and dialed a familiar number.
Xiao Yue's eyes were fixed on Mark's recent activities, especially those seemingly ordinary industry gatherings.
Photos flashed before her eyes, with wine glasses and wine chips mixed together, people talking and laughing, and everything seemed so normal.
However, Xiao Yue keenly caught a hint of something strange.
At these gatherings, Mark always deliberately avoided certain people, but frequently contacted others, and there seemed to be some hidden information in the eye contact.
"These gatherings... there's something fishy." Xiao Yue said thoughtfully, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. "Detective Liu, we need to go and take a look in person."
That night, Xiao Yue and Detective Liu disguised themselves and sneaked into a high-end industry cocktail party.
The crystal chandeliers emitted a dazzling light, people were dressed in elegant clothes, wine glasses and wine chips were mixed together, and the atmosphere was very warm.
Xiao Yue observed everything around him calmly, his eyes always following Mark's figure.
She noticed that Mark was talking in a low voice with a strange man in the corner, looking cautious and looking around from time to time.
"Mr. Xiao, how did you discover that these gatherings might be problematic?" Detective Liu asked in a low voice, with a hint of admiration in his tone.
Xiao Yue smiled slightly and pointed at the two people who were talking not far away. "Look, Mark and that person, although they look like they are chatting casually on the surface, their body language reveals tension and uneasiness. Moreover, they deliberately avoided the crowd and chose to talk in the corner, which in itself shows the privacy of their conversation."
Detective Liu suddenly understood and admired Xiao Yue's insight even more.
The investigation lasted for several hours, and Xiao Yue and Detective Liu collected some important clues.
It was late at night and the bustling city gradually returned to tranquility.
Shen Ting's car was parked on the side of the road, and he was waiting for Xiao Yue quietly.
The car window slowly lowered, revealing Shen Ting's chiseled face. "Thank you for your hard work."
Xiao Yue got into the car and leaned lightly on Shen Ting's shoulder. A feeling of fatigue instantly hit her.
Shen Ting drove the car to a secluded park. The moonlight shone through the leaves onto the car, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
He gently hugged Xiao Yue and let her lean on his arms, "Rest for a while."
Xiao Yue closed her eyes, feeling Shen Ting's warm embrace, and temporarily forgot the fatigue of the investigation.
The moonlight gently fell on them, as if covering them with a layer of silver gauze.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yue opened his eyes, his gaze firm, "Let's go."
Shen Ting started the car and drove towards the cocktail party.
Inside the car, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
Xiao Yue looked at the rapidly receding street outside the window and whispered, "Tonight, we will know the truth."
Shen Ting gripped the steering wheel tightly,"
The car stopped at the entrance of the cocktail party. Xiao Yue took a deep breath and pushed open the door...
As soon as Xiao Yue and Detective Liu entered the cocktail party, they quickly dispersed and began to gather information on their own.
At the cocktail party, elegant symphony gently echoed in the air, the sound of exquisite tableware colliding came one after another, and charming aroma filled every place.
Xiao Yue deliberately blended in and chatted with several industry professionals, but she kept an eye on Mark's movements.
After a while, she noticed that Mark's expression suddenly became nervous and his eyes wandered around.
Her heart tightened and she secretly gestured to Detective Liu.
The two of them tacitly approached the corner where Mark was, pretending to pass by accidentally.
"Mr. Xiao, we have to be careful. Mark may be prepared." Detective Liu reminded in a low voice.
Xiao Yue nodded, already having a plan in mind.
At this moment, a young man suddenly appeared in front of them, saying in a cold tone, "Who are you? This is not a place where you can just come in."
Xiao Yue and Detective Liu exchanged glances and responded with a smile, "We were invited by a friend here. What's the matter? Is there any problem?"
However, Xiao Yue keenly felt that the young man had not really let down his guard.
Sure enough, after a while, one of Mark's men walked out of the crowd and looked at Xiao Yue with a sneer, "Xiao Yue, you are so eager to expose the truth, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
Xiao Yue remained calm, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Trouble? I'm afraid you have something to hide."
Seeing that Xiao Yue was unmoved, the men's eyes became more fierce, but Detective Liu quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Xiao Yue. "We are here at the invitation. You have no right to interfere."
The subordinate coughed twice, and seeing that he couldn't succeed easily, he had to take a step back, but his eyes were still full of hostility.
Xiao Yue took the opportunity to pull out a small camera from his pocket and quickly took a picture of Mark talking with the strange man.
"Got it." Xiao Yue whispered and handed the camera to Detective Liu.
Detective Liu took the camera, quickly checked it, and after confirming that the evidence was correct, handed it to Xiao Yue.
"These photos are enough to prove that there is something wrong with Mark, but they are not complete." Xiao Yue whispered.
The two quickly left the cocktail party and returned to the Xiao Building.
As soon as he entered the office, Xiao Yue immediately printed out the photos and carefully analyzed the details in each photo.
Her heartbeat quickened, but her expression remained calm.
At this moment, her phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from Mark: "You'd better be careful, otherwise Xiao Enterprise will be doomed."
Xiao Yue held the phone tightly, her eyes more determined than ever, "Shen Ting, I need you."
Shen Ting's voice sounded on the other end of the phone, calm and firm, "I'm on my way."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yue stared firmly at the photo in his hand, secretly thinking about his next move.
The night outside the window deepened, the city lights were bright and distant, but in her heart, a bright light that she had never felt before was ignited.
