Heart Stealer

One night a few days later, under the hazy moonlight, Xiao Tuobang sat quietly in the salt control room, concentrating on watching the surveillance video in front of him.

The light in the room was a little dim, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, staring at the screen intently, as if he wanted to take in every clue in it.

Just then, a crisp cell phone ring suddenly broke the silence.

Xiao Tuobang frowned slightly, reached out to take the phone, and saw a completely unfamiliar phone number flashing on the screen.

He felt very confused, and after hesitating for a moment, he pressed the answer button: "Hello? Who is this?"

There was silence for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, and then a low and slightly hoarse voice came: "Mr. Xiao, I know the truth hidden in your company. If you want to know more details,

Please come to the abandoned factory in the suburbs to meet me at 9 o'clock tonight. Remember, don't tell anyone about this." Before he finished speaking, the other party quickly hung up the phone, leaving Xiao Tuobang lost in thought.

Xiao Tuobang was shocked. Who was this mysterious man? How did he know about the company? But curiosity got the better of him, so he decided to meet this mysterious man.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Xiao Tuobang came to the abandoned factory in the suburbs alone.

It was a desolate place, with no light around, only the faint moonlight illuminating the road ahead.

Xiao Tuobang walked into the factory cautiously, his footsteps echoing in the silent air, as if it was the only sound in this desolate land.

Walking deep into the factory, he saw a figure wearing a black mask standing there.

"Who are you? Why are you looking for me?" Xiao Tuobang asked vigilantly, his voice sounding particularly loud in the empty factory.

The masked man slowly turned around, looked at Xiao Tuobang and said, "I can tell you the real mastermind behind the financial theft, but you must agree to one condition of mine." His voice was low and hoarse, as if carrying an invisible pressure that made people shudder.

Xiao Tuobang frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and asked: "What conditions?"

The masked man sneered and said, "It's very simple. Please stop investigating the company immediately, otherwise... you will bear the consequences yourself." His tone was full of threats, as if Xiao Tuobang would immediately encounter misfortune if he did not agree.

Xiao Tuobang sneered, "Do you think you can threaten me like this? I will not give up the investigation." His eyes were firm and resolute, revealing an indomitable spirit.

Seeing this, the masked man slowly took off his mask, revealing a familiar face.

Xiao Tuobang was surprised to find that the masked man was actually his company's competitor, the heir of the Jundun Hotel, Xiao Tuobang.

"So it's you..." Xiao Tuobang's tone was full of anger, his fists clenched involuntarily, and the anger in his heart burned fiercely.

"That's right, it's me. I was jealous of your company's achievements, so I planned all this. Now that you know the truth, what are you going to do?" Xiao Tuobang looked at him provocatively, with a smug gleam in his eyes.

Xiao Tuobang thought calmly, he knew that he couldn't let Xi succeed.

He decided to play along, pretending to agree to his terms, and then find evidence to bring him to justice.

"Okay, I can stop the investigation temporarily, but you have to tell me more details." Xiao Tuobang said, with a hint of helplessness in his voice, but his eyes were extremely firm.

峟? laughed triumphantly, thinking that Xiao Tuobang had surrendered.

However, he didn't know that Xiao Tuobang had already thought of a countermeasure. A contest of wisdom and courage was about to begin...

"No problem, as long as you do as I say, I will tell you everything." said Xiao confidently.

Xiao Tuobang secretly vowed to make sure Li Fen received the punishment he deserved.

On the surface, he pretended to be obedient and continued to talk with him.

Xiao Tuobang cleverly obtained more key information.

At the same time, he secretly recorded the entire process with his mobile phone.

"I have got what I wanted, thank you for your cooperation. But don't think that this matter is over." Xiao Tuobang glanced at Xi indifferently, turned and left the abandoned factory.

After returning to the company, Xiao Tuobang immediately handed the recording to the police and provided other relevant evidence.

The police took swift action and arrested Bai?.

When the police began questioning him, he firmly denied his guilt and insisted that it was just a misunderstanding.

"Comrade police officer, you really misunderstood! I just wanted to invite Xiao Tuobang out for a chat, I have no other intentions." Xiao Tuobang answered while trying to remain calm.

"Then why did you choose to take him to a remote place in the suburbs to meet him?" the police asked with a serious expression.

“Because the Jundun Hotel, which our family runs, has always been the city’s flagship five-star hotel, since the opening of the Grand Metropole Hotel, the Jundun Hotel’s occupancy rate has dropped sharply and its market share has also gradually decreased.

To compete with the Grand Metropole Hotel, the King's Palace Hotel implemented a series of reforms, but the results were unsatisfactory. "I happened to learn of some issues with the Grand Metropole Hotel's internal financial management, so I planned and staged this drama, secretly inviting Xiao Tuobang to the scene. My goal was to use this opportunity to scare the Grand Metropole Hotel into reining in their behavior," explained Xiao.

"Do you think we will believe you?" The police officer in charge of the case looked at him with a sneer, his eyes full of suspicion.

"What I said is true, you can go and investigate!"

He explained anxiously, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He knew that if he couldn't convince the police, the consequences would be disastrous.

The police began an in-depth investigation into Bian?. They carefully reviewed the surveillance video, questioned relevant witnesses, and tracked Bian?'s whereabouts.

However, all evidence indicates that Bian did not have any contact with the financial staff of the Jindu Hotel.

"How is this possible? Is he telling the truth?" The criminal police captain in charge of the case frowned and muttered to himself.

Despite their best efforts, they still couldn't find any solid clues leading to the whereabouts of the deceased.

And just like that, the financial theft case once again came to a standstill.

The police had to re-examine the entire case and look for new breakthroughs.
