Double evil in the business district

Chapter 370 Breaking Through the Mist: Xiao Yue's Trust and Redemption

Xiao Yue walked into the Xiao Enterprise office. The cold air filled with a suspicious atmosphere made her feel suffocated.

The scrutinizing gazes of her tribesmen pierced her like needles, and the once familiar environment was now full of hostility.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm the emotions surging in her heart.

The truth, she must find out the truth as soon as possible.

The office was silent, with only the sound of her flipping through papers, a rustling sound that seemed to echo in the empty room.

Her slender fingers slid across the pages of documents, and her sharp eyes scanned every line of words, trying to find clues in the dense text.

The light from the computer screen shone on her face, revealing her determined look.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the office became increasingly solemn and depressing, making it hard to breathe.

"Aunt, I really didn't do this, please believe me." Xiao Yue walked to Aunt Xiao's desk and tried to explain in a sincere tone.

Aunt Xiao glanced at her with disdain, her sharp voice particularly harsh in the silent office: "Now that the evidence is irrefutable, you still want to quibble? Do you still have the interests of the family in your eyes?"

"But those evidences are all forged, I..." Xiao Yue tried to explain, but was rudely interrupted by Aunt Xiao.

"Stop pretending! Do you think we are all fools? Do you think you can hide the things you did?" Aunt Xiao's voice was sharp and harsh, and the employees around her looked sideways and whispered.

Xiao Yue felt a deep sense of powerlessness. She looked around and found that her colleagues were looking at her with strange eyes, as if she was really a sinner.

She felt like she was stripped naked and exposed to everyone, and shame and grievance surged in her heart.

"I didn't..." Xiao Yue's voice trembled, but seemed so weak.

"Enough! I don't want to hear your explanation anymore!" Aunt Xiao waved her hand impatiently, as if to drive away an annoying fly.

At this moment, the office door was pushed open...

The office door was pushed open with a loud bang, and everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it.

Shen Ting appeared at the door with a tall and straight figure, like a towering mountain, and there was an unquestionable majesty on his stern face.

Behind him, there was a man in a suit and tie, it was Detective Chen.

When Xiao Yue saw Shen Ting, a warm feeling surged in her heart, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw in the cold winter.

She knew that he would always be her strongest supporter.

"Ting..." Xiao Yue called softly, with a barely perceptible sob in her voice.

Shen Ting walked to her side, reached out and held her cold hand tightly, as if to pass his strength to her.

His palm was large and warm, which instantly calmed Xiao Yue's heart.

She raised her head and her eyes met his, their eyes full of trust and tacit understanding.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Shen Ting's low voice was soothing, like a spring breeze blowing through Xiao Yue's heart.

He turned to Detective Chen and motioned for him to begin.

Detective Chen stepped forward and pulled out a stack of photos and a report from his briefcase. He cleared his throat and spoke calmly, "Ms. Xiao, these are some of the clues we've initially gathered from our investigation. While they can't directly prove who the rumormonger is, they at least prove that the 'evidence' you saw earlier showed signs of tampering."

He handed the photos and report to Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue took it and looked at it carefully.

The photos show some enlarged surveillance screenshots, which show someone modifying files.

A glimmer of hope suddenly arose in her despairing heart.

These evidences, like a ray of light piercing through the darkness in the fog, allowed her to see a ray of hope.

Xiao Yue looked at Shen Ting with gratitude. His eyes were as bright as stars, full of encouragement and support.

She held his hand tightly, as if to absorb all the strength.

The atmosphere in the office eased slightly because of this glimmer of hope, and it was no longer as depressing and suffocating as before.

But Xiao Yue was not completely relaxed.

She knew that to find the real mastermind, a more in-depth investigation would be needed.

She looked at Aunt Xiao who was sitting not far away. There was a hint of unnaturalness on her face and her eyes were evasive, as if she was hiding something.

Could it be her?

No, she shook her head, feeling that it was unlikely.

She glanced at the other tribesmen again. Their expressions varied, some were confused, some were shocked, and some were gloating.

She knew that expanding the scope of the investigation to include core members of the family would create a huge storm.

She was worried that this would cause greater turmoil in the family and might even put the family in danger of division.

But if she doesn't do this, how can she find the truth and clear her name?

She walked out of the office and came to the outside of the Xiao family's mansion.

The ancient building looked particularly solemn under the setting sun, but at this moment, it made her feel extremely heavy.

She looked up at the carvings on the high wall, her heart filled with mixed feelings, contradictions and struggles.

She looked down at the hand holding hers, and felt the warmth and strength from Shen Ting.

She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, as if she had made some kind of decision.

She didn't notice that her cousin Xiao was standing in the shadows not far away, staring at her every move with sinister eyes.

"Yue, you..." Shen Ting's voice sounded behind her, with a hint of concern in his tone.

Xiao Yue took a deep breath and looked at Shen Ting with a firm gaze: "Ting, you are right, I can't hesitate any longer. For the truth and for myself, I must get to the bottom of this matter, no matter who is involved." Shen Ting nodded in appreciation. He understood Xiao Yue's determination and the pressure on her shoulders.

He reached out his hand, gently stroked her hair, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I will always be with you."

Secretary Lin efficiently collected the recent activity records of the core family members and placed a thick stack of documents in front of Xiao Yue.

She carefully read every document with a sharp eye, not missing any details.

Secretary Lin assisted and provided some useful information from time to time.

The only sounds in the office were the shuffling of papers and the two people's whispered discussions. The atmosphere was tense yet orderly.

Xiao Yue felt an unprecedented motivation. She was no longer fighting alone. With the support of Shen Ting and the help of Secretary Lin, she seemed to see the dawn of victory. The atmosphere in the office was no longer so depressing, but full of hope.

At dusk, Shen Ting brought Xiao Yue to a secluded lake in the suburbs.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the lake, making the waves sparkle and beautify the scenery.

A breeze blew by, bringing bursts of fresh air mixed with a faint scent of flowers.

Shen Ting gently held Xiao Yue in his arms. Her soft body pressed against his solid chest, making him feel extremely safe.

He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Yue, no matter what happens, I will be with you." Xiao Yue leaned in his arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, feeling his warm embrace, and a warm current surged in her heart.

She hugged him tightly, nodded gently in his arms, tears silently sliding down her face.

At this moment, she was more certain of her feelings for him and more determined to find out the truth.

The air around them was filled with warmth and romance, as if the whole world only contained the two of them.

Just when Xiao Yue thought everything was moving in the right direction, new evidence emerged.

Detective Chen handed Xiao Yue a new report, which showed that someone was deliberately guiding the direction of the investigation, and the new clues pointed to an unexpected person - the elder of the Li family, a highly respected figure in the family.

Xiao Yue looked at the report with a frown on his face, his heart full of doubts.

Why did the elders of the Li family do this?

Could he be the real mastermind behind this?

Or is someone deliberately framing us?

The air around seemed to freeze again, and a tense atmosphere filled the air again.

"This..." Xiao Yue's hand holding the report trembled slightly. She raised her head and looked at Shen Ting, but found that he also had a serious expression.
