Fan Shengmei proceeded cautiously, constantly on guard to see if anyone was following her. Finally, she saw the towering building of Meng Yanchen's company, its lights shimmering in the night sky through the windows. She took a deep breath, quickened her pace, and entered the building, silently vowing to get the news to Meng Yanchen as soon as possible, hoping they still had time to deal with the impending crisis.

Stepping into the building, she was instantly enveloped by bright lights, and the air was filled with a faint scent of cleaning agents. The security guard at the front desk gave her a suspicious look, and Fan Shengmei quickly said, "I'm looking for Meng Yanchen, it's urgent." Seeing her anxious expression, the guard didn't ask any further questions, but simply reminded her, "Mr. Meng is still in his office, you can go straight up."

Fan Shengmei hurried to the elevator and pressed the floor button. As the elevator ascended, she looked at her slightly disheveled reflection in the mirror; her hair was a bit messy, and her clothes were slightly wrinkled from running. She quickly tidied herself up, trying to appear calmer.

With a "ding," the elevator doors opened, and Fan Shengmei strode towards Meng Yanchen's office. The door was ajar; she knocked gently and heard Meng Yanchen's familiar voice: "Come in."

Meng Yanchen was sitting at his desk, his brow furrowed, a mountain of documents piled up in front of him. A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes when he saw Fan Shengmei enter, but it was quickly replaced by worry. "Are you alright?" Meng Yanchen stood up and quickly walked to Fan Shengmei's side.

Fan Shengmei shook her head and said urgently, "Don't talk about me yet, I have important news to tell you." She told Meng Yanchen everything she had learned from the mysterious man at the event.

Upon hearing this, Meng Yanchen's expression turned extremely grave. He walked to the window, gazing at the bustling cityscape at night, and remained silent for a long time. "It seems they're finally going to make their move," Meng Yanchen said slowly, his voice carrying a hint of weariness and resolve.

Fan Shengmei walked to his side, looked at his profile, and said, "We can't just sit here and wait to die; we have to think of a way to deal with this quickly." Meng Yanchen turned around, looked at Fan Shengmei's determined eyes, and felt a warm current surge in his heart. "That's right, let's start making a plan now."

The two returned to their desks, and Meng Yanchen took out a sheet of white paper and began to write and draw on it. "First, we need to strengthen the company's security measures, especially in terms of cybersecurity, to prevent them from launching another hacking attack," Meng Yanchen said, writing down key points on the paper.

Fan Shengmei nodded in agreement and continued, "I think we also need to start from within and thoroughly investigate whether there are any people in the company colluding with the mysterious investment group. Although we caught Li Hua before, it's hard to guarantee that there aren't any others who have slipped through the net."

Meng Yanchen pondered for a moment and said, "You're right, leave this matter to me. I will arrange for reliable people to conduct an investigation."

“Furthermore, we need to closely monitor the movements of our competitors. The mysterious investment group may very well use them to launch attacks against us,” Fan Shengmei added.

Meng Yanchen wrote another note on the paper, saying, "I will have the marketing department increase their monitoring of competitors, and report to us immediately if there is any sign of trouble."

"In addition, we also need to prepare some public relations contingency plans. If they launch another media attack, we need to be able to respond quickly and stabilize the company's image and stock price," Fan Shengmei continued.

Meng Yanchen looked at Fan Shengmei with admiration in his eyes: "You've thought this through very thoroughly. I'll contact the public relations team and have them develop a detailed contingency plan as soon as possible."

Time slipped away quietly amidst the tense discussions, and several hours had passed without them realizing it. The two had formulated a preliminary response plan, covering multiple aspects such as security, internal investigation, competitor monitoring, and public relations.

Meng Yanchen leaned back in his chair, rubbed his temples, and said, "This plan is not perfect yet, but it's all we can do for now. Next, we need to put the plan into practice as soon as possible."

Looking at Meng Yanchen's exhausted appearance, Fan Shengmei felt a pang of heartache. "You should rest for a bit. We'll handle the rest together."

Meng Yanchen looked at Fan Shengmei and said with a smile, "With you by my side, I feel much more at ease."

However, they all knew that whether this response plan could successfully withstand the attack from the mysterious investment group remained to be seen. When the mysterious investment group would launch its operation, and what methods it would use, were all shrouded in uncertainty and uncertainty.
