Double evil in the business district

After Li Na talked with the man for a while, she stood up and left the cafe. Xiao Yue followed closely behind her, not daring to let down his guard.

Li Na walked quickly, crossing several streets before turning into a dim alley. Xiao Yue's heart tightened. She knew this alley; it was a shortcut to the outskirts of the city, sparsely populated and with a complex environment.

She hesitated for a moment, then decided to follow. The alley was quiet, with only the occasional meow of a wild cat. Xiao Yue followed Li Na closely, her footsteps light. Suddenly, Li Na stopped, turned around, and a strange smile appeared on her face.

"Miss Xiao, aren't you tired after following me for so long?"

Xiao Yue was startled. She hadn't expected Li Na to notice her. She stepped out of the shadows and looked at Li Na with forced composure.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Yue asked, trying to keep his tone calm.

Li Na smiled and didn't answer her question. Instead, she took out an envelope from her briefcase and waved it in front of Xiao Yue. "Ms. Xiao, do you want to know what's inside?"

Xiao Yue stared at the envelope intently, having a premonition that it contained the key evidence she had been looking for.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Xiao Yue asked with a hint of vigilance in his tone.

Li Na's smile became even more strange. "I think Miss Xiao will know soon." She put the envelope back into her briefcase, then turned and walked deeper into the alley.

Xiao Yue was about to follow her, but found that she was taken away by an oncoming car. It seemed that she was prepared.

She quickly stopped a taxi and followed closely behind.

Li Na led Xiao Yue to an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city and stopped. She turned around and looked at Xiao Yue with a playful smile on her face.

"Ms. Xiao, are you curious about what's inside?" Li Na pointed to the warehouse door and then walked in.

Xiao Yue watched Li Na warily, feeling a faint unease. But she decided to follow her inside to investigate. She pushed open the heavy warehouse door, and a musty smell hit her. The warehouse was pitch black, pitch dark.

Suddenly, a burst of chattering noises came from deep within the warehouse. Xiao Yue held her breath and quietly approached the direction of the sound.

"Is everything ready?" A man's voice was low and hoarse.

"Everything is ready, just waiting for her to come in." This was Li Na's voice.

Xiao Yue's heart tightened as she realized she had fallen into a trap. She was about to turn around and leave when she heard the man continue:

"Remember, this time, I must make sure she is completely disgraced and never has a chance to recover..."

The dim light in the warehouse barely revealed the outlines of the piles of debris, and the air was thick with dust and the smell of mold. Xiao Yue's heart was pounding, and she pressed herself against the wall, trying not to make any sound. Deep inside the warehouse, Li Na and the man continued their conversation.

"Lin Xiao has invested a huge amount of money this time. As long as this plan succeeds, the Xiao family will be completely finished." The man's voice was filled with greed.

"Hmph, that woman Xiao Yue thought she was smart, but she still fell into our trap." Li Na's voice was full of disdain.

"Are everything ready? This time we must do it neatly and not leave any traces." The man emphasized again.

"Don't worry, everything has been arranged. As soon as Xiao Yue comes in, we will..." Li Na stopped talking abruptly, as if something caught her attention.

Xiao Yue held her breath, feeling her heartbeat nearly stop. She knew she had to leave as soon as possible and tell Shen Ting everything she had heard. She turned carefully, preparing to slip away.

"Who's there?!" Suddenly, a man's loud shout broke the silence of the warehouse.

Xiao Yue's heart trembled, knowing that she had been exposed. Without hesitation, she turned and ran.

"Catch her! Don't let her run away!" Li Na's voice sounded behind her.

Xiao Yue ran desperately, and the debris in the warehouse became an obstacle for her to avoid being caught. She stumbled and almost fell several times, but she didn't dare to stop. She knew that if she was caught, the consequences would be disastrous.

Meanwhile, at Shen's Enterprise, Secretary He was busy spreading rumors about Xiao Yue.

"Have you heard? In order to get the cooperation project from Shen's, Xiao Yue used all means, even selling her body!" Secretary He described it vividly, his tone full of contempt.

"Is this true? Xiao Yue doesn't look like that kind of person." Someone expressed doubt.

"Hmph, you can only judge a person by his appearance, not his heart! I saw with my own eyes that she sneaked up to see Mr. Shen and even gave him a valuable gift!" Secretary He said confidently.

"So that's how it is! I was wondering, how could Xiao suddenly get such an important project? There must be something fishy going on!"

The rumor spread like a virus, and Shen's employees' impression of Xiao Yue plummeted. Some even began to attack her personally.

In an abandoned warehouse, Xiao Yue evaded a wave of pursuers and hid behind a huge cargo box. She gasped for breath, feeling her strength was almost exhausted. But she knew she couldn't give up; she had to find evidence to prove her innocence. She pulled out her phone, wanting to contact Shen Ting, but found it was out of battery.

Suddenly, a beam of strong light shone in. Xiao Yue's heart sank to the bottom, she knew that she had been discovered.

"Xiao Yue, you can't run away!" Li Na's voice was filled with a hint of pride.

Xiao Yue walked out from behind the cargo box with a look of determination on his face.

"I won't surrender," she said coldly.

The security guard immediately stepped forward and prepared to control Xiao Yue.

"Don't touch me!" Xiao Yue stepped back abruptly, a look of determination flashing in her eyes. She knew that if they caught her, she would never have the chance to prove her innocence.

She turned and ran, the warehouse's debris becoming her only cover. She nimbly moved between the shelves, the footsteps behind her chasing closely.

"Catch her!" Li Na's voice echoed in the warehouse.

Xiao Yue's heart was beating wildly. She knew she was getting closer and closer to the truth, but she was also in great danger. Shen Ting's misunderstanding and Li Na's frame-up made her feel isolated and helpless.

She ran desperately, but the dim light in the warehouse made it difficult for her to see the road ahead. But she couldn't stop, she had to escape and find evidence to prove her innocence.

As she ran, she caught a glimpse of a pile of cardboard boxes in a corner. Some words seemed to be written on them. Her intuition told her that there might be important clues hidden there. She gritted her teeth, changed direction, and ran towards the corner.

"She's over there!" Li Na discovered Xiao Yue's intention and immediately shouted.

The footsteps of the pursuers were getting closer and closer. Xiao Yue knew she was running out of time. She rushed to the cardboard box and opened the lid...

"Ah!" With a scream, Xiao Yue lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.
