Double evil in the business district

Chapter 245 Xiao Yue's Exploration of the Truth: Investment Traps Become Unveiled

Secretary Chen was frightened out of his wits by Xiao Yue's cold tone and was dragged into the office by her helplessly.

Xiao Yue let go of his hand, and Secretary Chen immediately fell to the ground, his face pale and his eyes flickering.

"Xiao...Mr. Xiao...I...I don't know anything..." She stammered to defend herself.

Xiao Yue didn't say anything, but just looked at her quietly, his eyes as sharp as a knife, as if he could see through all her disguises.

Under Xiao Yue's gaze, Secretary Chen's psychological defenses gradually collapsed.

"It's...it's Manager Wang...he gave me some money...let me...let me..." She explained the whole story in a halting manner. It turned out that she had been bribed by Manager Wang a long time ago and had been secretly making trouble for Xiao Yue, and even provided false information to mislead her.

Xiao Yue was heartbroken by Secretary Chen's betrayal, but she did not show it. She just said coldly, "I understand." Then she asked Secretary Chen to leave the office.

After Secretary Chen left, Xiao Yue immediately began to investigate more details about Manager Wang and the investment project.

She discovered that Manager Wang not only forged the project data, but also embezzled the company's funds privately.

At the same time, in order to protect himself, Secretary Chen began to spread rumors within the company that Xiao Yue was deliberately hindering the company's development.

For a time, rumors spread throughout the company, and Xiao Yue's situation became extremely difficult.

Many of her colleagues who originally supported her began to doubt her and even pointed fingers at her.

Xiao Yue was not defeated by these rumors. Instead, she became more determined to find out the truth.

Xiao Yue approached Accountant Liu and asked bluntly, "Accountant Liu, why did you help Manager Wang hide the truth?" Accountant Liu was stunned at first, then feigned composure and said, "Mr. Xiao, I don't know what you're talking about." Xiao Yue sneered and tossed the evidence in front of Accountant Liu. "These are the transfer records Manager Wang gave you. What else do you have to say?" Accountant Liu's face changed drastically, but she remained stubborn. "Even if I took the money, so what? This project is already profitable. Why are you meddling in other people's business?"

"Profitable?" Xiao Yue's voice suddenly rose. "Do you know that this project is a scam? By accepting their money, you are helping them deceive the company and everyone who trusts you!"

"Nonsense!" Accountant Liu stood up excitedly. "This project has great prospects. You're just jealous that I can profit from it!"

"Jealous?" Xiao Yue thought it was ridiculous. "Why should I be jealous of you? Everything I do is for the benefit of the company, and yet you're selling it out for your own selfish gain! Do you believe in your professional ethics?"

The heated argument between the two attracted many colleagues to watch. They were whispering and their doubts about Xiao Yue were getting louder and louder.

Xiao Yue ignored the rumors. She took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

She knew that the most important thing now was to find more evidence to prove that there were indeed problems with this project.

Xiao Yue turned and left the office, heading towards the elevator.

The elevator door slowly closed, she took out her cell phone and dialed a number...

"President Sun, I want to talk to you about that investment project..."

Xiao Yue spoke in a serious tone on the phone and successfully made an appointment with Banker Sun.

After meeting, she did not exchange pleasantries but directly handed over the sorted information about the suspicious projects: "President Sun, this is some of the information I have recently investigated. I hope you can take a closer look at it." Banker Sun was a little disapproving at first, but as he turned the pages, the expression on his face gradually became serious.

The information provided by Xiao Yue detailed issues such as falsified project data and unknown fund flows. Each one had solid evidence and could not be ignored.

Banker Sun realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately arranged for the team to re-evaluate the project.

Manager Wang became restless when he learned that Banker Sun was reviewing the project.

He paced back and forth in the office anxiously, repeatedly calling Secretary Chen, but no one answered.

He knew that things were developing in an uncontrollable direction.

Meanwhile, Detective Li's investigation also made a breakthrough.

He discovered that Manager Wang had been sentenced for commercial fraud a few years ago, but he later paid money to settle the matter and was able to continue his business activities.

After Xiao Yue got the evidence, he immediately found Manager Wang.

"Manager Wang," Xiao Yue said in a cold tone, "I think you should explain what this judgment is about."

When Manager Wang saw the verdict in Xiao Yue's hand, his face turned pale instantly.

He was speechless and couldn't say anything for a long time.

"This...this is all in the past..." He stammered to defend himself.

"What happened in the past?" Xiao Yue sneered. "It seems you haven't learned your lesson, and instead have become even more aggressive! Do you think you can hide this from the world?"

Beads of sweat oozed from Manager Wang's forehead; he knew he had no way to escape.

His eyes flickered, trying to find a chance to escape.

Xiao Yue pressed on, his tone sharp: "Do you have anything else to say?"

Just then, Xiao Yue's cell phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Detective Li.

“Mr. Xiao, I found something at our partner company. You’d better come and take a look…” Detective Li’s voice was low and mysterious.

Xiao Yue hung up the phone, staring at Manager Wang sharply, with a meaningful smile on her lips: "It seems that the best is yet to come..." She turned and left, leaving Manager Wang alone in the office, his face pale, as if he had fallen into an icy cave.

Arriving at the door of the partner company, Xiao Yue took a deep breath and pushed open the tightly closed door...

Xiao Yue pushed open the door of the partner's company, and a musty smell hit him in the face.

The room was dimly lit and the air was filled with the smell of dust.

Detective Lee stood in the middle of the room, holding a document.

"Mr. Xiao, look." He pointed to an old locked filing cabinet in the corner of the room, "I suspect the important things are hidden in it." Without saying a word, Xiao Yue took a few steps forward and pulled the handle of the filing cabinet hard, but found that it did not move at all.

"It seems that they have been prepared for this." She snorted coldly, took out a small tool from her bag, and skillfully pried open the lock.

The moment the cabinet door opened, a cloud of dust flew out.

Xiao Yue covered his mouth and nose with his hands and squinted his eyes to carefully examine the documents inside.

Sure enough, at the bottom, she found some deliberately hidden files.

She quickly flipped through the documents and found that they were the preliminary plan for misappropriation of funds, further exposing the scam of the project.

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the door.

Xiao Yue and Detective Li looked at each other and immediately realized that someone was coming.

Without thinking too much, Xiao Yue quickly stuffed the documents into her bag, while Detective Li blocked the door.

"Who?" he asked sharply.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and several burly men walked in aggressively.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" One of the leading men stared at them viciously.

Xiao Yue stood up fearlessly, her eyes cold: "It doesn't matter who we are. What matters is, what shameful secrets are you hiding here?" As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Ting appeared at the door.

He strode to Xiao Yue, held her hand tightly, and gave her strength.

"Are you okay?" he asked with concern.

Xiao Yue shook his head, his eyes firm: "It's okay, everything is under my control."

Manager Wang was furious when he learned that Xiao Yue had obtained the key evidence.

He hid in the dark, his face gloomy and his fists clenched.

"Damn it! This Xiao Yue is such a tough opponent!" he said gritting his teeth.

He united some forces and began to plan a bigger conspiracy, wanting to completely bring down Xiao Yue.

He dialed a mysterious number and said in a cold tone, "The plan can begin now..."

Shen Ting was filled with admiration when he saw Xiao Yue's bravery and wisdom in the investigation.

He had never loved her as much as he did now, loved her tenacity, her intelligence, and everything about her.

He held her tightly in his arms and whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid, I will always be with you." Xiao Yue leaned on his chest, feeling his warm embrace, her heart filled with strength.

She knew that the battle had just begun, but she was not afraid because she knew she was not fighting alone.

The next morning, Xiao Yue came to the company, but found the atmosphere extremely strange.

Her colleagues looked at her with a strange look, whispering and pointing.

She walked to the door of her office, only to find a note taped to it with a few shocking words written on it: "Corporate spy, get out of the company!" Xiao Yue frowned, tore off the note, and pushed open the office door...
