Double evil in the business district

Chapter 299: Deep into the Tiger's Den: Xiao Yue Explores the Truth

Xiao Yue's heart was beating like a drum, hitting her chest again and again.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her suddenly accelerated heartbeat, but the dark and depressing environment around her was like an invisible hand, tightly strangling her throat and making it impossible for her to breathe.

She and Detective Zhou were like two cheetahs lurking in the night, quietly approaching the affiliated company that might be hiding the truth.

The company looks ordinary and unremarkable, but Xiao Yue knows that there may be secrets hidden inside that can subvert everything.

The air was filled with a smell of decay, mixed with a faint smell of rust, which made people feel uneasy.

The dim lights in the corridor flickered, like countless prying eyes, watching them in the darkness.

Xiao Yue tightened the small flashlight in his hand, his eyes as firm as a torch.

They carefully avoided surveillance cameras and, with Detective Zhou's rich experience, cleverly bypassed the patrolling security guards.

However, when they arrived at the door of an office, several burly men blocked their way.

"What are you doing?" one of the men asked fiercely, his eyes scanning Xiao Yue and Detective Zhou like knives.

Xiao Yue knew that a head-on confrontation was not a wise move.

She smiled gently, her voice as clear as a silver bell, but with an unquestionable firmness: "We are here to discuss cooperation with your boss."

The men obviously didn't buy it. They grinned and reached out to push Xiao Yue.

In a flash, Xiao Yue dodged nimbly. Her movements were as smooth as flowing water without any delay.

With a neat side kick, she knocked the man who was rushing in front to the ground with a dull thud.

Then, she knocked down the other people with lightning speed. Her movements were clean and neat, leaving them no chance to resist.

Detective Zhou was watching in amazement. Although he knew that Xiao Yue was an extraordinary person, he didn't expect her to be so powerful.

He hurried forward and stood back to back with Xiao Yue, looking around vigilantly.

Several minions were beaten to the ground, and wailing could be heard one after another, but their shouting also alarmed other people in the company.

Soon, several more men rushed out from different rooms and surrounded Xiao Yue and Detective Zhou.

Xiao Yue was not in a hurry. She signaled Detective Zhou with her eyes. The two of them cooperated tacitly, one attacking and the other defending, and skillfully moved through the crowd.

They were like two cunning cheetahs, nimbly dodging the enemy's attacks in the jungle, and counterattacking from time to time, beating those who rushed up to pieces.

Just as they were getting deeper into the company, Xiao Yue found some strange things in the filing cabinet.

It was a very ordinary-looking folder, but it exuded a hint of something unusual.

She gently opened the folder, and the contents inside shocked her. It was a densely packed drawing covered with strange symbols.

"This is..." Detective Zhou frowned and was about to ask when he heard Xiao Yue exclaim in surprise, "These seem to be encrypted files."

Xiao Yue's fingertips gently slid across the complex symbols, his eyes flashing with excitement, as if an explorer had discovered a lost treasure.

These encrypted files, like layers of fog, shroud a huge conspiracy.

She flipped through each page quickly, her mind working rapidly, like a sophisticated computer, constantly analyzing the information.

"These symbols seem to be a special coding system." Xiao Yue muttered to herself, her fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard, like jumping notes, composing a battle melody in the room.

A few minutes later, lines of decrypted text appeared on the screen.

The corners of Xiao Yue's mouth rose slightly, outlining a confident smile.

her

"It's really a case of searching for a needle in a haystack, but finally I found it without any effort!" She was secretly delighted. These documents recorded in detail how Lin Xiao and Zhao Xingui colluded and attempted to take over Xiao's enterprise through illegal means, and even involved some shady gray transactions.

A ball of anger burned in Xiao Yue's heart, but she quickly suppressed her emotions.

She carefully kept the decrypted documents, which would become important evidence to expose Lin Xiao's conspiracy.

She raised her head and looked around. The room was filled with an oppressive atmosphere, as if someone was secretly watching them.

Xiao Yue's heart moved

She began to observe everyone in the company quietly; every subtle expression and every unintentional movement could not escape her eyes.

She is like a vigilant cheetah, searching for prey in the jungle

"Who was rummaging through my files just now?" A sharp voice broke the silence. A man in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses walked over angrily. His eyes were like knives, scanning everyone present.

Xiao Yue was not at all panicked. She had a faint smile on her face, but her eyes were as sharp as ice.

"Why, do you have any shameful secrets?" she asked back, her voice as clear as a silver bell, but with a hint of subtle provocation.

In the office, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, everyone was on edge, a secret contest quietly unfolded, and a dangerous atmosphere filled the air.

Xiao Yue looked at the man with twinkling eyes, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile.

"You..." The man was about to say something when he was interrupted by a rapid ring of his cell phone. He hurriedly took out his cell phone, glanced at the screen, and his face turned pale in an instant. He stammered, "I'm leaving first," and hurriedly left the office.

Xiao Yue watched him fleeing in panic, her eyes deepening. She pulled out her phone, called Detective Zhou, and said calmly, "Detective Zhou, we may need to reassess the risks of this operation."

The phone vibrated slightly in Xiao Yue's pocket, once, twice, three times...

It’s Shen Ting.

She clicked on the screen and was greeted by a series of concerned messages: "Are you okay?" "Are you in danger?" "Keep in touch at any time." These few short words were filled with Shen Ting's deep worry.

A warm feeling surged in Xiao Yue's heart. She touched the screen with her fingertips and replied, "I'm fine, don't worry." She didn't want to make him worry, and even more so, she didn't want to disappoint him.

The atmosphere in the office was still solemn.

The man who just left in a hurry was named Chen Ping, a middle-level manager of the company.

Xiao Yue observed the remaining people calmly. Their faces were full of tension and anxiety, but Chen Ping's reaction was particularly strong, which made her more convinced that Chen Ping was probably Lin Xiao'an's spy planted inside the company.

Xiao Yue took a deep breath and decided to try again.

She walked up to the crowd and said calmly, "Everyone, I know you're all scared, but please trust me, as long as you cooperate with my investigation, I will ensure your safety." She looked around, her gaze sharp as a knife. "Of course, if anyone persists, I will not tolerate it."

As soon as she finished speaking, the office fell silent. Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look her in the eye.

Xiao Yue's gaze finally fell on Chen Ping's empty seat, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

She walked to Chen Ping's desk, picked up the water cup he left behind, and sniffed it gently. A faint scent of perfume came to her nose. This was the perfume that Lin Xiao often used.

"It seems our little mouse has escaped." Xiao Yue's voice was filled with sarcasm. She put the water cup back in its place and turned to Detective Zhou and said, "Detective Zhou, could you please take this water cup back and have it checked for fingerprints?"

The employees of Xiao's Enterprise were filled with admiration when they saw Xiao Yue's calm and composed appearance.

They knew that Xiao Yue was a strong and intelligent woman who would definitely be able to lead them out of the predicament.

As night falls, the lights are on.

Xiao Yue stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the flashing neon lights in the distance, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

She knew that the battle had just begun and she had to be more cautious.

Suddenly, she remembered the phone call she received when Chen Ping left. Her heart moved, and a bold idea emerged in her mind.

She picked up her phone and dialed a number, "Help me check..."
