Double evil in the business district

Chapter 272 Xiao Yue Investigates: Suspicion of Leaked Confidential Information

Xiao Yue put away her phone calmly, but an innocent smile appeared on her face.

"Manager Gao, what a coincidence, you're here for coffee too?" Manager Gao's face turned pale, his eyes grimly sweeping over the phone in her hand, then looking at Employee Zhao who was looking panicked in the corner of the cafe.

"You're following him?"

"Manager Gao, you're joking," Xiao Yue chuckled with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, "I just happened to pass by and saw Employee Zhao acting suspiciously. Out of concern, I came over to check on him." She deliberately emphasized the word "sneaky" and successfully saw Manager Gao's face darken a little.

"Xiao Yue, you'd better not meddle in other people's business!" Supervisor Gao warned in a low voice, with a barely perceptible hint of panic in his tone.

Xiao Yue raised her eyebrows and asked innocently, "Manager Gao, I don't understand what you are saying. I'm just an ordinary employee, how dare I meddle in other people's business?" She turned around gracefully, leaving behind the sullen-faced Manager Gao and the panicked employee Zhao, and left the cafe.

After returning to the company, Xiao Yue immediately contacted Detective Huang and told him what happened in the cafe.

Detective Huang also received new news. The recent movements of Liu's rival company are very suspicious, and it seems that they are secretly investigating Xiao Yue.

"It seems that they have noticed that we are investigating them." Xiao Yue's tone became serious.

In the next few days, Xiao Yue found that he seemed to be watched by a pair of invisible eyes.

The phone in the office always rings inexplicably, but turns into silent threats after being answered.

I often receive anonymous emails in my mailbox, which are full of threats and warnings.

Xiao Yue realized that his opponent Liu had begun to fight back.

Once, after get off work, Xiao Yue discovered that his tire had been punctured maliciously.

Another time, she was followed on her way home. Fortunately, she cleverly hid in a 24-hour convenience store and got rid of the stalker.

These events made Xiao Yue feel uneasy, and she realized that she was in danger.

This is not just an investigation into the leak of trade secrets, but more like a carefully planned conspiracy.

Xiao Yue felt like he was caught in a giant spider web. The more he struggled, the deeper he sank.

The clues were complicated and everyone seemed to be a suspect. She felt like she was lost in a huge maze and couldn't find the exit.

Feelings of anxiety and uneasiness surged like a tide, almost swallowing her up.

But she took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

She knew that she couldn't give up, she had to find out the truth, not only for the company but also for herself.

Just then, the cell phone rang. It was Shen Ting calling.

"Where?" His low voice carried a hint of barely perceptible concern.

"I..." Xiao Yue was about to say that she was still working overtime at the company, but suddenly she heard a faint sound of footsteps outside the office. Her heart trembled, and she lowered her voice and said, "I'm..."

Xiao Yue lowered his voice and gave a hidden address.

"I'm at a nearby cafe and have something to take care of." She hung up the phone, held her breath, and listened attentively to the noise outside.

The footsteps paused at the door for a few seconds, then slowly faded away.

Xiao Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, slowly settled down.

In less than ten minutes, a black Maybach stopped at the door of the cafe.

Shen Ting pushed the door and got out of the car. His tall figure looked particularly upright under the dim street lights.

He walked straight into the cafe and saw Xiao Yue sitting in the corner.

He walked up to her, with a barely perceptible worry in his deep eyes.

"Are you ok?"

Xiao Yue smiled slightly and shook his head.

"It's okay, just a little trouble." Although she said this, the fatigue in her eyes could not deceive Shen Ting.

He knew she was in danger, and he knew she wouldn't give up easily.

From that day on, Shen Ting started to pick up and drop off Xiao Yue to and from get off work.

Every morning, the black Maybach would appear at Xiao Yue's door on time, and in the evening, it would send her back safely.

In the car, Shen Ting held Xiao Yue's hand, and his broad and warm palm wrapped around her slender fingers.

Xiao Yue could feel the strength in his hands and the silent concern.

She leaned on his shoulder, enjoying this moment of peace and tranquility.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yue and Detective Huang also made a breakthrough in their investigation.

They found some encrypted files in employee Zhao's computer. After cracking them with technical means, they discovered that some non-core confidential information of Xiao's company was hidden inside.

Although these materials are not the most core technical secrets, they are enough to cause certain losses to the Xiao family.

More importantly, the information is highly consistent with a new product recently launched by Liu's rival company.

This is undoubtedly an important breakthrough.

They followed the clues and found out that a huge amount of money of unknown origin had recently been added to employee Zhao's bank account.

All the evidence points to employee Zhao, who was the one who leaked the secrets.

"It seems that we have found a big fish." Xiao Yue sorted out the information in her hand and put it into a folder.

"It's time to meet him." Xiao Yue picked up the folder, stood up and walked towards the door.

Shen Ting followed her silently

Xiao Yue pushed open the door of Zhao's office, holding a thick stack of documents in his hand.

"Employee Zhao, let's talk."

Xiao Yue threw the document in his hand heavily on Employee Zhao's desk. The papers scattered and made a crisp "pop" sound, like a thunder exploding in Employee Zhao's heart.

His face was pale, his lips were trembling, his eyes were flickering, and he didn't dare to look directly into Xiao Yue's sharp gaze.

"Manager Xiao... Manager Xiao..." He stammered, his voice as thin as a mosquito.

"Employee Zhao, you should be familiar with these things, right?" Xiao Yue's voice was as cold as the winter wind, piercing Employee Zhao's heart.

She picked up a document and pointed to the bank statement on it. "Where did this money come from?"

Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Employee Zhao's forehead. He subconsciously wanted to reach out and wipe it, but froze in mid-air.

His lips moved, but no sound came out, and his eyes were filled with fear and despair.

The office was dead silent, with only the hum of the air conditioner, which further highlighted the depression and tension at the moment.

"I...I..." Employee Zhao finally spoke, but he just repeated these two words, as if he had lost the ability to speak.

His face was pale and his body was trembling slightly, as if he would collapse to the ground at any moment.

Xiao Yue didn't say anything, but just looked at him quietly, her eyes as sharp as a knife, as if she wanted to see through everything in his heart.

After a long silence, Employee Zhao finally broke down.

He suddenly collapsed to the ground, holding his head in his hands and letting out a desperate whimper.

"I was wrong! I shouldn't have done this! Please, let me go..."

His confession was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing ripples.

The Xiao Group began to shake up, the top management was furious, and the employees were talking about it.

The once inconspicuous employee Zhao has now become the center of the storm.

However, Xiao Yue did not hand Zhao over to the company.

She gave him a chance, a chance to redeem himself from his crime.

"Tell me, who ordered you to do this? Where is the real core secret?"

Employee Zhao raised his head, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly...

At the same time, in Liu's opponent's office, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip out.

"What did you say? Employee Zhao was discovered?!" Liu's opponent stood up suddenly, his face ashen, and broke the pen in his hand.

"Yes, Mr. Liu." The assistant standing in front of him answered timidly, not daring to look up at him.

"Waste! All of you are trash!" Liu's opponent roared angrily and swept the documents on the table to the ground.

He paced back and forth, "It seems that we have to take some extraordinary measures..." He picked up the phone and dialed a number, "Hello, it's me..."

Can the clues provided by Employee Zhao really help Xiao Yue find the real source of the core secret leak?

What actions will Liu take after learning that employee Zhao has been discovered?

Everything is shrouded in a fog, making it difficult to see the direction.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Shen Ting's voice was low and contained a hint of warning.

"I have to do this." Xiao Yue's eyes were firm and his tone left no room for doubt.

“This is the only way.”
