Double evil in the business district

Chapter 422 The truth gradually emerges: Xiao Yue's desperate counterattack

Xiao Yue's fingertips stroked the mysterious file number, and the yellowed paper seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight in her hands.

Her eyes were surprisingly bright, like two burning flames, and she wanted to burn away the secret behind the number.

The air in the office seemed to freeze, leaving only her rapid breathing and the slight rustling sound of the pen tip sliding across the paper.

The employees around didn't dare to breathe, and the usual cheerful atmosphere was gone.

They could feel the concentration and urgency emanating from Xiao Yue, as if any carelessness would interrupt her train of thought and lead to a big mistake.

Everyone held their breath, afraid of becoming the unlucky one.

Just as Xiao Yue was concentrating, there was a gentle knock on the office door.

Manager Ma stuck half of his head in, his face full of embarrassment.

"Investigator Xiao, I...I have something I want to report to you."

Xiao Yue raised her head, rubbed her sore eyes, and motioned him to come in. "What's the matter?"

Manager Ma moved cautiously to Xiao Yue's desk and said in a low voice, "It's like this. We've encountered some resistance during the rectification process. Some old employees are accustomed to the previous management methods and are not cooperating with the new rules and regulations. Some even...some are resistant."

Xiao Yue frowned slightly. She had long expected that the rectification would not be smooth sailing, but she did not expect that resistance would appear so soon.

"What is the specific situation?"

Manager Ma hesitantly explained, "They think the old way of doing things is fine, and the new process is too complicated and affects work efficiency. I've explained it to them many times, but they just won't listen. And... they even say I'm messing around."

Xiao Yue's face darkened.

She knew that these old employees relied on their seniority and did not take the new rules and regulations seriously at all.

This internal conflict and pressure is more difficult to deal with than external investigations.

"I understand." Xiao Yue took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. "Go back first and write a report to me. I'll find a way to solve it."

Manager Ma left the office feeling relieved.

Xiao Yue looked at his departing back and felt powerless.

Environmental issues are imminent, Zhao's rivals are eyeing her covetously from the outside, and there are these "stumbling blocks" from the inside. She feels like she is walking on a tightrope and will fall into the abyss if she is not careful.

She lowered her head again, her eyes once again falling on the mysterious file number.

This may be the key to her breakthrough.

A hint of determination flashed in Xiao Yue's eyes. She must not be defeated by these difficulties!

"Lawyer Zhou, please help me check this number..." She picked up the phone on the table, with a barely perceptible urgency in her tone.

Xiao Yue entered the mysterious file number into a special database for search, but the search results did not appear for a long time, and her heart was in suspense.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the office became more and more tense, like a taut string that could break at any time.

Suddenly, a red prompt popped up on the computer screen: Relevant records found.

Xiao Yue's breathing stagnated, his heart skipped a beat, and a premonition came to his mind.

She couldn't wait to click and view it, and a string of encrypted data came into view.

With his professional knowledge and keen intuition, Xiao Yue quickly deciphered the data and found that they pointed to some illegal operation records of Zhao's rival company.

These records detail how Zhao's opponents manipulated environmental testing data, forged documents, and bribed relevant personnel.

The evidence is conclusive and cannot be denied!

"Found it!" Xiao Yue stood up from the chair excitedly, raised his clenched fist high, his face filled with the joy of victory.

When the employees in the office saw her expression, they also became excited. The depressing atmosphere was instantly broken and replaced by cheers.

"Great! We finally found evidence!"

"Investigator Xiao is truly amazing!"

"Now let's see what Zhao's opponent has to say!"

The office was in an uproar, and everyone was immersed in joy.

Just then, the office door was pushed open and Shen Ting walked in with exquisite snacks and coffee in his hands.

When he saw Xiao Yue's excited expression, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his eyes were full of doting.

"It seems you have made a new discovery." Shen Ting put snacks and coffee on Xiao Yue's table and said gently.

"Hmm!" Xiao Yue happily picked up a piece of dessert and put it into his mouth. The sweet taste spread instantly, and his tired body and mind felt a little relaxed.

"You came just in time, I just needed to replenish my energy!"

Shen Ting sat down beside her and watched her eat quietly. A warm atmosphere filled the air between them, as if they were the only two people left in the world.

"What are you going to do next?" Shen Ting asked softly.

Xiao Yue swallowed the last bite of her dessert and took a sip of her coffee. "I'm going to find Inspector Liu and show him the evidence!" She picked up the printed documents and said firmly, "Let's go together!"

Xiao Yue came to the Environmental Protection Testing Center with the organized evidence documents in a rage.

Inspector Liu adjusted his glasses and looked at Xiao Yue impatiently. "Investigator Xiao, what are you doing here again? We've already conducted the test according to the procedures, and the results cannot be wrong."

"Inspector Liu, this time I have brought new evidence, which is enough to prove that there were problems with the previous test results." Xiao Yue placed the document in front of Inspector Liu with a firm tone.

Inspector Liu flipped through the documents nonchalantly, his face filled with disdain. "These were compiled by your Xiao Enterprise. How convincing can they be? They're nothing but sophistry." He pushed up his glasses, a cold gleam reflecting off the lenses. "Investigator Xiao, I urge you to go back and make corrections. Stop wasting time."

Xiao Yue took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart.

She pointed to a string of data on the document and said word by word, "Inspector Liu, please take a close look at this data. This isn't something our Xiao Enterprise forged; it's from your testing center's internal records." She paused, her tone emphasizing, "This data clearly shows that someone tampered with our test results, and this person..."

Inspector Liu's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to interrupt Xiao Yue, "You are slandering me! Our testing center's work procedures are very strict, and this kind of thing can't happen!"

"Really?" Xiao Yue sneered and pulled a sealed document from a folder. "This contains internal email records from Zhao's opponent's company, as well as the transfer records of their bribes to your colleagues." She placed the document in front of Inspector Liu. "What else do you have to say about this evidence?"

Inspector Liu's face turned pale. He opened the file bag with trembling hands and was shocked by the contents inside.

He looked up at Xiao Yue in disbelief, his eyes filled with surprise and confusion, "How...how is this possible?"

Xiao Yue raised his chin, feeling a sense of pride.

She looked at Inspector Liu's shocked expression and thought to herself, "Do you think you can hide this? The truth will eventually come out!"

Inspector Liu sat dejectedly in the chair, muttering to himself, "I... I don't know... I really don't know..." He suddenly raised his head and stared at Xiao Yue with burning eyes, "Wait, there is another... there is another hidden test report..." His voice became smaller and smaller, and finally almost inaudible, but Xiao Yue still caught his words.

"What report?" Xiao Yue stood up suddenly and grabbed Inspector Liu's arm. "Tell me quickly, where is the report?"

Inspector Liu's eyes flickered and his lips trembled, as if hesitating about something.

He looked at Xiao Yue, then at the documents in his hand. Finally, his eyes fell on a pile of documents on the table...

"I...I..." He stretched out his hand and pointed at the stack of documents...
