Wang Qiang's heart skipped a beat, but he forced himself to remain calm: "Advisor Liu is extremely busy, how would I know what you're doing?" He rubbed his hands together, his eyes darting around, and dared not look Liu Lu in the eye.

Liu Lu didn't answer directly, but instead turned the computer screen towards Wang Qiang, "Look, what's this?"

The screen displayed lines of code. Although Wang Qiang couldn't understand the specific content, he recognized at a glance that it was the code for the core module of the project.

His expression changed drastically, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"This...this is..." he stammered, his eyes darting around.

"This is the code you modified last night, isn't it?" Liu Lu's tone was icy, each word piercing Wang Qiang's heart like a sharp needle.

Wang Qiang's face was deathly pale, his lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a word.

He never expected that Liu Lu would discover his little trick so quickly.

Liu Lu stood up, walked up to Wang Qiang, looked down at him with a menacing gaze.

"Do you think your little tricks can fool me? I've known for a long time that there's a mole in the team, but I never expected it to be you."

Wang Qiang lowered his head in despair; he knew he was finished.

He originally thought he could sabotage the project without anyone noticing and then shift the blame to Liu Lu, but unexpectedly, Liu Lu turned the tables on him.

"Speak, who instructed you?" Liu Lu's voice was deep and powerful, like the tolling of a judgment bell.

Wang Qiang hesitated for a moment, but finally said a name.

The name surprised Liu Lu, yet it was also somewhat expected.

"It really was him." Liu Lu sneered, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

She had long suspected this person, but lacked evidence.

Now, Wang Qiang's confession undoubtedly confirms his guilt.

Liu Lu walked to the window, looked at the flashing neon lights in the distance, and took a deep breath.

The battle has only just begun, and she must be even more careful to ultimately achieve victory.

Suddenly, there was another knock on the office door, this time the knocking was more urgent.

Liu Lu's heart tightened; an ominous premonition welled up inside her...

"who?"

"Please come in." Liu Lu turned around, her tone returning to calm.

The person who pushed open the door was another member of the project team, Li Ming. He looked flustered, holding a document in his hand, and said breathlessly, "Advisor Liu, something bad has happened! The server... the server is having problems!"

Liu Lu's heart sank. Was there a problem with the server?

At this critical juncture?

Could it be another case of an inside job?

She quickly walked over to Li Ming, took the document, and glanced through it.

The document indicates that the server was attacked by an unknown entity, resulting in the loss of some data and severely impacting the project's progress.

"I understand." Liu Lu suppressed her anger and said calmly, "Go and calm the other team members down first, I'll handle it right away."

After Li Ming left, Liu Lu immediately called the technical department, asking them to fix the server as soon as possible and thoroughly investigate the source of the attack.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Lu rubbed her temples, feeling a wave of exhaustion.

The series of accidents left her physically and mentally exhausted.

Just then, her daughter Liu Bei quietly walked into the office, carrying a cup of hot tea.

"Mom, you've worked so hard, have a cup of tea." Seeing her daughter's thoughtfulness, Liu Lu felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

She took the teacup, took a small sip, and felt a sense of comfort for her weary body and mind.

"Thank you, baby." Liu Lu gently stroked her daughter's hair.

Liu Bei nestled obediently beside Liu Lu. Seeing her mother's tired appearance, she said with heartache, "Mom, you don't need to work so hard. I will take good care of myself."

Liu Lu smiled, her heart filled with warmth. Her daughter's support was her greatest motivation.

After the server was repaired, Liu Lu immediately began investigating the source of the attack.

After careful investigation, she finally located the attacker's IP address.

This IP address actually came from inside the company!

Liu Lu sneered. It seemed the traitor was still not giving up and wanted to continue causing trouble.

She immediately reported the IP address to the company's senior management and demanded a thorough investigation.

The following day, the company's senior management held an emergency meeting and announced a full investigation into the attack.

At the meeting, Liu Lu publicly exposed the traitor's conspiracy and provided conclusive evidence.

The true identity of the traitors was exposed, and they were unable to defend themselves, ultimately being expelled from the team.

Liu Lu proved her abilities once again and won the trust of the company's senior management.

After the meeting, Liu Lu returned to her office to continue working.

Suddenly, she received a call from an unknown number...

"Advisor Liu, it's been a long time." A cold voice came from the other end of the phone.

Liu Lu held the phone, her face gradually darkening.

That chilling voice, like the hiss of a venomous snake, made her feel nauseous.

"Who are you?" she asked in a cold voice.

“You don’t need to know who I am,” the voice on the other end of the phone said with a hint of sarcasm. “You just need to know that your good days are over.”

The other party hung up the phone after speaking.

Liu Lu gripped her phone tightly, her knuckles turning white.

She knew this was just the calm before the storm.

Sure enough, the next day, several competing companies jointly issued a statement announcing their boycott of Liu Lu's project and the termination of all cooperation with her.

The news caused an uproar in the industry.

Liu Lu's project immediately fell into difficulties.

With the funding chain broken, partners withdrew their investments one after another, and the project team members began to feel uneasy.

Wang Qiang, Li Ming, and several other moles exposed by Liu Lu were gloating and spreading rumors to defame Liu Lu.

Faced with this sudden blow, Liu Lu did not panic.

She took a deep breath, a determined glint in her eyes.

Liu Lu began actively seeking new partners.

She used her network and resources to contact many well-known companies at home and abroad, introduce her project to them, and seek cooperation.

Her efforts were not in vain.

Soon, a powerful international company expressed strong interest in Liu Lu's project and decided to invest and cooperate.

The news left the companies that had originally boycotted Liu Lu completely dumbfounded.

They never expected that Liu Lu would be able to find a new partner in such a short time, and that it would be an international giant.

With new funding and the support of partners, Liu Lu's project has been revitalized.

The project team members were also rekindled in their fighting spirit and worked even harder.

Wang Qiang and the others were even more furious when they saw Liu Lu defuse the crisis once again.

Unwilling to accept defeat, they decided to take a risk and target Liu Lu's project again.

One night, Wang Qiang sneaked into the company and attempted to sabotage the server.

However, his every move was recorded by surveillance cameras.

The next day, Liu Lu submitted Wang Qiang's criminal evidence to the police.

Wang Qiang was arrested by the police and will face severe legal punishment.

Liu Lu's project is progressing smoothly and has completed an important stage ahead of schedule.

At the celebration banquet, Liu Lu raised her glass in celebration, a victorious smile on her face.

Suddenly, a waiter walked up to her and whispered, "Ms. Liu, someone is looking for you."

Liu Lu was slightly taken aback, then followed the waiter to the hotel entrance.

A man in black stood there and handed her an envelope.

"What is this?" Liu Lu asked, puzzled.

The man in black did not answer and turned to leave.

Liu Lu opened the envelope; inside was only a note with the words: "The game has only just begun..."

At the celebration banquet, crystal chandeliers shone brightly, and champagne rippled in the glasses, reflecting the confident smile on Liu Lu's face.

The project was completed ahead of schedule, and the group's senior management praised her highly, promising to invest more and give her greater autonomy.

This is undoubtedly an affirmation of Liu Lu's abilities and a reward for her hard work.

However, the competitors were on tenterhooks, especially the vice president who had always regarded Liu Lu as a thorn in his side, whose face turned ashen and whose fists were clenched.

After the banquet, Liu Lu returned home slightly drunk. Her daughter, Liu Bei, was already asleep. She gently covered her daughter with a blanket, a tender smile on her face.

Just as she was about to rest, she found an unfamiliar envelope on her daughter's desk.

The envelope was unsigned, with only the words "To Liu Lu" written on it.

Liu Lu's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition welled up inside her.

She carefully opened the envelope, pulled out the letter inside, and a line of cold text came into view: "Your project is well done, but what about your daughter's safety? Think about it carefully."

The letter slipped from Liu Lu's hand, and her face instantly turned deathly pale.

A chill ran from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head, making her tremble all over.

threaten!

A blatant threat!

The other party actually targeted her daughter!

Liu Lu's heart was pounding violently, as if it were about to burst out of her chest.

She bit her lip tightly, forcing herself to calm down.

She couldn't panic; she had to protect her daughter!

Liu Lu immediately called the security company, asking them to strengthen security measures at her home and arrange for someone to protect Liu Bei's safety 24 hours a day.

She then contacted several trusted friends and asked them to help investigate the source of the threatening letter.

After doing all this, Liu Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She sat on the sofa, tightly holding a photo of her daughter, her eyes filled with worry and anxiety.

She didn't know who the other person was, nor what their purpose was.

All she knew was that she had to find the mastermind behind this as soon as possible in order to completely eliminate the threat.

Just then, the phone rang. Liu Lu picked it up, and an unfamiliar voice came through: "Consultant Liu, long time no see..." Liu Lu gripped the phone tightly, her fingertips turning white, and said, word by word, "Who are you?!"
