Double evil in the business district

Xiao Yue looked at the provocative text message on his phone, his eyes darkening slightly.

The noise at the banquet seemed to be isolated by a thin film, becoming distant and vague.

She took a deep breath and put her phone back into her purse.

At this moment, nothing is more important than solving Xiao’s copyright crisis.

She whispered a few words to Shen Ting calmly, then turned and left the banquet hall.

The atmosphere in Xiao's company's research room was solemn.

The data piled up like a mountain, and the light from the computer screen reflected on the faces of Xiao Yue and Researcher Chen, making them look even more tired.

Xiao Yue rubbed his sore temples, but his eyes still scanned every document sharply.

Her slender fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, searching for any clues that might have been missed.

"Researcher Chen, let's go over the project records carefully again, especially those related to the research and development process of core technologies." Although Xiao Yue's voice was a little tired, it revealed an unquestionable firmness.

Researcher Chen nodded and devoted himself to his work with a focused look.

The air was filled with the smell of paper and ink, and the sound of keyboard tapping and pages turning intertwined like a tense march.

At the same time, in Lawyer Zhao’s office, he was proudly shaking the red wine in his hand.

"Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue, you really won't give up until you reach the Yellow River. Do you think you can fight me?" He sneered, mixed several forged documents with some real information, and then sent them out through an anonymous mailbox.

Xiao Yue received the email quickly.

She read each document carefully, her eyes gradually becoming confused.

The information looked like key evidence, but some of the details were inconsistent with her previous findings.

An uneasy premonition came over me.

She handed the information to Researcher Chen, and the two compared it repeatedly and finally found the flaw.

Lawyer Zhao's tricks were fully exposed.

"Despicable!" Researcher Chen slammed his fist on the table, filled with righteous indignation.

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became tense.

Xiao Yue's face also turned gloomy. She tightly gripped the documents in her hand, and her knuckles turned white from the force.

"He thinks he can stop me like this? How naive!"

Just then, Secretary Zhang hurried in, looking a little panicked.

"Boss Xiao, Researcher Chen, come and see..."

Secretary Zhang's face was filled with a hint of incredible excitement, "Researcher Chen... found the key document!" She pointed tremblingly at Researcher Chen's computer screen, which displayed a scanned document titled "Initial Project R&D Plan."

Researcher Chen's face flushed with excitement as he explained incoherently, "I... I was just sorting through the data on the old server and stumbled upon this file, encrypted and hidden in an abandoned folder! This proposal clearly documents the development time and process of our core technology, proving we haven't infringed on any copyrights!"

Xiao Yue's eyes were fixed on the screen. Every word on the document was like a shining star, illuminating the road ahead.

An indescribable joy surged from the bottom of her heart, and she felt all the fatigue in her body swept away, replaced by infinite hope and strength.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her excitement. "Great! This document is crucial! We'll back it up immediately and then contact Expert Liu for an appraisal!"

The entire Xiao Group was in an uproar over this news.

The employees rushed to tell each other, their faces filled with joyful smiles.

The haze that had been suppressing people's hearts for many days finally dissipated, and the sunshine of hope shone on everyone's face again.

In the office, the sound of keyboards typing, the humming of printers, and people's excited discussions intertwined to form a cheerful symphony.

The dawn of victory is just around the corner, and they seem to have seen the arrival of dawn.

However, this joy did not last long.

Lawyer Zhao soon learned that Xiao Yue had found the key evidence.

His face was ashen and the pen in his hand was creaking.

"Damn it! How could she find that document? I clearly already..." He slammed the document in his hand on the table, flames of anger burning in his eyes.

He immediately took action, contacting employees of Xiao Enterprise through various channels, using threats or bribes to try to prevent the evidence from being presented in court.

Some people were moved by his huge amount of money, while others were frightened by his strong threats and began to waver.

Xiao Yue quickly noticed what Lawyer Zhao was doing.

She flung open the door of Lawyer Zhao's office and walked up to him angrily, "Lawyer Zhao, what are you doing? Do you think you can stop me like this?"

Lawyer Zhao sneered, not disguising the contempt in his eyes. "Xiao Yue, you're too naive. In this world, not everything can be solved by evidence." He stood up and walked to the window, his back to Xiao Yue, his tone icy, "If you know what's good for you, just give up. You can't beat me."

Xiao Yue's office was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

Shen Ting looked at Xiao Yue's furrowed brows, which looked like fragile petals eroded by wind and rain, and felt an indescribable pity in his heart.

He walked silently to her side, his tall figure like a solid fortress, blocking out the chaos from the outside world.

He gently held Xiao Yue's cold hand, and the warmth of his palm slowly seeped into her skin like a warm current.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Shen Ting's low voice was like a gentle lullaby, soothing Xiao Yue's inner anxiety.

His bony fingers gently stroked Xiao Yue's fingertips, giving her silent support and encouragement.

Xiao Yue raised her head and looked into Shen Ting's deep eyes, which contained determination and trust.

She felt a warm current surge in her heart, and her tired body seemed to be injected with new strength.

She held Shen Ting's hand in return, her fingertips conveying endless gratitude and dependence.

There were not many words between the two, but there was a warm affection between them, like a ray of sunshine in winter, dispelling all the haze.

Xiao Yue did not immediately present this key evidence in court, but first contacted expert Liu from the Copyright Bureau.

She knew very well that the authenticity and authority of the evidence were of vital importance and must be ensured to be foolproof.

Expert Liu wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and scanned each document carefully with a rigorous gaze.

His fingers slid gently across the documents, making a slight friction sound, as if he was touching the veins of history.

Finally, he took off his glasses, adjusted his nose, and said with certainty, "The timeline and technical details in this document are sufficient to prove that Xiao Enterprises did not infringe the other party's copyright. It is very convincing."

When Xiao Yue heard what Expert Liu said, his tense nerves finally relaxed and a smile of victory appeared on the corner of his mouth.

She knew that she was one step closer to victory.

After Lawyer Zhao learned that Xiao Yue did not directly present the evidence in court, "You are just trying to be mysterious. Let's see what tricks you can play!" He sneered and shook the red wine glass in his hand. The scarlet liquid rippled in the glass, just like his current mood.

However, the night before Xiao Yue was about to submit the evidence to the court, Secretary Zhang came running in in a panic, his face as pale as paper, "Boss Xiao, this is bad, the backup evidence... can't be found!"

Xiao Yue's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

She immediately checked the surveillance video, but found that a snowflake appeared on the surveillance screen, making it completely unrecognizable.

She bit her lower lip, her fingers clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms.

"How could this happen..." She muttered to herself, frowning, and the office suddenly became eerily quiet.

She raised her head, a cold light flashing in her eyes.
