Double evil in the business district

Chapter 262 Xiao Yue gathers strength: the truth of the smear gradually emerges

Xiao Yue frowned and tapped his fingers on the table, again and again, as if tapping on tense nerves.

The curve on the public opinion report "stubbornly" refuses to climb, and negative comments are like maggots on the tarsal bones, difficult to remove.

"This is too slow, PR Lin, we must speed up!"

Public Relations Officer Lin adjusted his glasses and spoke calmly, "Mr. Xiao, we've contacted all the major platforms to remove the false information and issued a clarification statement. So far, the results..." She paused and said tactfully, "Not very ideal."

"Not ideal?!" Xiao Yue stood up suddenly, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down at the hustle and bustle of the city. The irritation in his heart was like the endless stream of vehicles, and he couldn't find an exit.

"PR Lin, we can't just sit back and defend! We have to take the initiative and find the mastermind!"

"Take the initiative?" PR Lin's voice was hesitant. "Mr. Xiao, I'm afraid the risk is too great. If we alert them, they might destroy the evidence, or even..."

"Even getting worse?" Xiao Yue turned around, his eyes sharp as a knife. "Instead of just sitting there and waiting to die, why not give it a try? Instead of letting them hide in the dark and do whatever they want, why not force them out?"

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became tense. The disagreement between the two was like an invisible wall, dividing the space into two.

Xiao Yue's persistence and Lin Gongguan's caution collided silently in the air, creating crackling sparks.

"But..." Public Relations Officer Lin wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Xiao Yue.

"I know what you're worried about," Xiao Yue walked to the desk and picked up a document, "but we can't wait any longer. I've asked the technical department to track the IP addresses of those water army and also contacted several reliable media friends..."

Before she could finish her words, there was a light knock on the office door.

"Come in."

The door opened and a figure appeared at the door...

Shen Ting pushed the door open and walked in, holding an exquisite snack box in his hand.

The box contained Xiao Yue's favorite rose pastry. The faint sweet fragrance instantly filled the office, dispelling the stagnant air.

He walked to Xiao Yue, gently placed the snack box on the table, then gently stroked her hair, his eyes full of pity and love.

"Yueyue, don't be too tired." Shen Ting's low voice was as pleasant as a cello, with a hint of barely perceptible hoarseness, as if expressing endless tenderness.

Xiao Yue smelled the familiar woody perfume on him, mixed with the sweet scent of rose pastry, and the irritability in her heart gradually calmed down.

She raised her head and met Shen Ting's deep gaze. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.

This smile, like a ray of sunshine in winter, instantly melted the worries in Shen Ting's heart.

"Thank you." Xiao Yue's voice was soft and sweet, like a sugar-coated bullet, hitting the softest part of Shen Ting's heart.

Shen Ting sat down beside her and accompanied her quietly.

His existence is like a solid fortress, protecting Xiao Yue from wind and rain and giving her unlimited strength.

At the same time, Xiao Yue's investigation also made a breakthrough.

By investigating the flow of funds of Zhao's opponent in depth, she discovered an abnormally large transfer.

The money went to a mysterious business group called "Galaxy".

Xiao Yue keenly felt that this group was not simple.

She continued to dig deeper and found that "Galaxy" seemed to have played a role in fueling many business smear incidents. Its tentacles spread across various industries, like a huge spider web, covering the entire business world.

"Xinghe..." Xiao Yue whispered the name. She vaguely felt that this mysterious organization was the real mastermind behind the scenes.

"It seems that we are getting closer and closer to the truth." Shen Ting's voice carried a barely perceptible coldness, and his eyes became sharp, like a sword drawn from its sheath, ready to pierce the darkness and kill the enemy at any time.

Xiao Yue nodded, a confident smile on his face.

She turned on the computer and her fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard. Lines of code flashed on the screen like jumping notes.

"It's time to fight back." Xiao Yue's voice was crisp and firm, with a hint of unquestionable dominance.

She looked up at Shen Ting, her eyes gleaming with wisdom, "I'm going to release some smoke bombs..."

Before she finished speaking, the office phone suddenly rang, and the shrill ringtone broke the silence of the office...

Public Relations Officer Lin's hurried voice came from the other end of the line: "Mr. Xiao, something terrible has happened! A new batch of smear articles has appeared online. This time the attack is even more fierce, and..." Public Relations Officer Lin paused, his tone filled with a hint of disbelief, "They actually got hold of some of our internal information!"

Xiao Yue's eyes flashed, and the fingers holding the mouse exerted a little force, and the knuckles turned white.

"I understand. Continue to monitor public opinion and report to me at any time." After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yue took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

It seems that the other party is more cunning than she thought.

But Xiao Yue is not so easily defeated.

A sneer appeared on her lips. "Since you want to play, I will play with you to the end!"

Xiao Yue quickly tapped a few times on the keyboard and released the "smoke bomb" that he had prepared long ago.

This information is a mixture of true and false, real and fake, enough to throw the opponent off balance.

As expected, the online sentiment changed immediately.

The smear campaigners began to suspect each other, accusing each other of leaking information.

There was also some confusion in Zhao's opponent's camp, and the originally unified tone began to become fragmented.

Looking at all this, Xiao Yue was not in a hurry to reveal the truth, but like an experienced hunter, he patiently waited for the prey to reveal more flaws.

She knew that now was not the best time.

As night falls, the city lights shine brightly.

The lights in Xiao Yue's office were still brightly lit.

She sat in front of the computer, her fingers flying across the keyboard, and lines of code flashed on the screen like dancing elves.

Suddenly, a red warning message appeared on the computer screen: "Unknown intrusion detected!" Xiao Yue frowned, and his eyes instantly became sharp.

She immediately activated her defense program, trying to prevent the intruder from taking further action.

However, the other party was obviously well prepared.

Their attack methods were extremely sophisticated and quickly broke through Xiao Yue's defense system.

The code on the computer screen began to jump around chaotically, as if it would crash at any moment.

"Damn it!" Xiao Yue cursed softly, his fingers tapping quickly on the keyboard, trying to regain control.

At this moment, the office door was pushed open.

Shen Ting walked in with a cup of hot milk in his hand.

He saw Xiao Yue's tense expression and immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

"What's wrong?" Shen Ting walked to Xiao Yue and asked with concern.

Xiao Yue didn't answer. He just pointed at the computer screen and said solemnly, "Someone has hacked into my system..."

Shen Ting's gaze fell on the flashing red warning message on the screen, and his expression became serious.

"It seems like they've started to act desperately..." He paused, a hint of coldness in his tone, "Yueyue, be careful, they might..."

Before he could finish his words, the computer screen suddenly went black.

Then, the lights in the entire office went out, plunging into darkness...

"Shen Ting..." Xiao Yue's voice sounded particularly fragile in the darkness.

"I'm here." Shen Ting held Xiao Yue's hand tightly, his tone firm and powerful, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
