Heart Stealer

Xiao Tuobang brought Aqiang back home. He assured Aqiang with a firm look in his eyes, "Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to ensure your safety so that you can prepare to testify in court with peace of mind."

Ah Qiang's eyes were filled with gratitude, tears welling up in his eyes. He said in a trembling voice, "Mr. Xiao, I deeply admire your tolerance and generosity. I will definitely not let you down and will do my best to provide strong evidence."

The next morning, the sun shone on the streets of Platycodon Town. After saying goodbye to their parents, Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue set out on the journey back to the city together.

Xiao Tuobang knew very well that in order to uncover the truth behind this and find the mastermind, he must first start an investigation from within the company.

Xiao Tuobang went straight back to his office without any hesitation and devoted himself to the secret investigation.

He first set his sights on the people around Zhu Dongming. As one of the company's senior executives, Zhu Dongming had close working contacts with Xiao Tuobang.

Xiao Tuobang thought to himself that if someone wanted to harm him, the people around Zhu Dongming would undoubtedly be the most likely breakthrough point.

Xiao Tuobang began to carefully review the company's personnel files, investigating everyone around Zhu Dongming one by one. He didn't miss any details, carefully analyzing each person's background, work experience, and interpersonal relationships.

After a careful investigation, Xiao Tuobang did not find any tall and thin man who matched Aqiang's description around Zhu Dongming.

This made him very confused, and he also realized that the complexity of the problem was far beyond his imagination.

As the investigation continued to deepen, Xiao Tuobang gradually realized that there were some abnormal trends within the company.

Some important documents and information seemed to have been deliberately hidden or tampered with, and some key meeting minutes had mysteriously disappeared.

These signs made Xiao Tuobang frown. He realized that someone was manipulating all this behind the scenes, trying to cover up some important facts.

At the company's regular meeting, Xiao Tuobang sat at the head of the conference table, scanning everyone present with sharp eyes.

He deliberately raised several sensitive and sharp questions, which were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

His purpose was simple: he wanted to take this opportunity to observe everyone's true reactions and find out possible problems.

Xiao Tuobang noticed that the expression of Wei Mingxian, the head of the R&D department, became noticeably stiff, and his eyes were wandering, as if he was deliberately avoiding looking directly at him.

This unnatural reaction immediately aroused Xiao Tuobang's vigilance.

After the meeting, Xiao Tuobang did not rush to leave, but sat quietly there and waited for the crowd to disperse.

Xiao Tuobang gently called out to Wei Mingxian, who was about to leave: "Manager Wei, do you have a moment? I'd like to chat with you for a few minutes."

Wei Mingxian was so frightened when he heard this that his body trembled slightly. He turned around and forced a smile on his face: "Boss Xiao, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Xiao Tuobang motioned him to sit down and asked calmly, "What do you think of the recent developments in the company? I think you may have some ideas of your own."

After hearing this, Wei Mingxian's face turned even paler. He stammered, "I... I think the company is doing pretty well right now. Everyone is very motivated."

Xiao Tuobang saw his hesitation and concealment, but did not expose him on the spot. Instead, he nodded gently: "Okay, I understand. If you have any ideas or hear any news, you can always come and talk to me."

After saying that, Xiao Tuobang stood up and left the meeting room. He didn't force Wei Mingxian because he knew that doing so would only make the situation worse.

He decided to take a more covert approach, using his connections and resources within the company to quietly collect information about these employees with unusual movements.

Xiao Tuobang knew that this struggle might involve conflicts of interest among the company's top management and even within the family. He had to be careful to avoid causing a bigger disturbance.

In the office, Xiao Tuobang frowned, his investigation finally made a breakthrough.

Through analysis of the company's internal communication records and financial data, he discovered that Wei Mingxian had an ulterior motive with executive manager Zhu Dongming.

He secretly copied the company's confidential documents and then exchanged them with Zhu Dongming in private in exchange for money or other forms of benefits.

Xiao Tuobang was in a heavy mood. He never expected that a colleague he trusted would betray the company, and he never thought that all this was related to Zhu Dongming.

He decided to hold off for the time being and continue collecting more evidence in order to expose the conspiracy in one fell swoop.

Qiu Xue saw that Xiao Tuobang had lost a lot of weight because he worked day and night to investigate the company's financial theft case.

She decided to cook some nutritious meals for him herself.

Early in the morning, the sun had just risen, and the golden sunlight sprinkled on the earth, bringing a touch of warmth and vitality to the whole city.

Qiu Xue was wearing a simple and elegant dress with long flowing hair, like a fairy descending to earth.

She was accompanied by the kind-looking Sister Zhen, and together they went to the bustling vegetable market to select the freshest ingredients to cook delicious dishes.

The vegetable market was crowded with people, and the shouts were heard one after another, making it very lively.

Qiu Xue's intuition told her that someone was following them, and she felt a little uneasy.

Qiu Xue calmly said to Sister Zhen, "Sister Zhen, I want to buy some cosmetics. Please wait for me at the intersection."

After Qiu Xue finished speaking, she turned and walked into a narrow alley.

Her heart beat faster and she could almost hear her own heartbeat echoing in her ears.

She didn't dare look back, for fear of being discovered by the stalker, so she could only quicken her pace, hoping to shake off the tail as soon as possible.

Qiu Xue walked through the bustling streets and turned into several alleys.

Her steps became faster and faster, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

In a secluded alley, Qiu Xue turned around suddenly, trying to catch the trace of the stalker.

"Stop!" Qiu Xue shouted loudly, her eyes as sharp as a knife, staring at the man wearing a black baseball cap.

The man obviously didn't expect Qiu Xue to suddenly counterattack. He was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained his composure.

He turned around and wanted to run away, but Qiu Xue was faster. Like an agile cheetah, she pounced on the man in an instant and grabbed his arm.

"Who are you? Why are you following me?" Qiu Xue asked, her voice full of anger and majesty.

The man struggled, trying to break free from Qiu Xue's hand.

But Qiu Xue's hand held him tightly like an iron clamp, without any relaxation.

Qiu Xue thought of the mysterious man described by A Qiang, and her doubts grew deeper and deeper.

Just as he was about to ask, the man took advantage of Qiu Xue's distraction, suddenly shook himself hard, successfully broke free from the restraints, and disappeared into the crowd.

The market was crowded with people. Qiu Xue chased the man for a while, but he still ran away. She stood there, panting.

She looked in the direction where the man disappeared and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Mrs. Zhen rushed over after hearing the news and was very worried when she saw Qiuxue looking tired and worried.

"Miss, are you okay? What happened?" Mrs. Zhen asked anxiously.

Qiu Xue took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and told Sister Zhen what had just happened.

"Who is this stalker? Why is he following you?" Mrs. Zhen frowned and thought.

Qiu Xue shook her head. She didn't know the answer, but she knew this matter was not simple.

She decided to find out the identity and purpose of the stalker and not put herself and her family in danger.
