Chapter 129 Perilous Situation



Meng Yanchen warily stared at the unfamiliar figure before him. The man was tall, dressed in a black suit, and wore sunglasses, obscuring his expression. "Who are you? What are you doing here?" Meng Yanchen shouted. The stranger didn't answer, but slowly walked towards Meng Yanchen. Just then, the office door opened again, and Fan Shengmei rushed in. Seeing the scene before her, her heart tightened, and she quickly stood beside Meng Yanchen, facing the uninvited guest with him.

"What exactly do you want?" Fan Shengmei stared directly at the stranger without fear, trying to find a clue in his expression. However, the other party remained expressionless, like a cold statue.

Suddenly, the stranger swiftly attacked, his target the crucial document in Meng Yanchen's hand. Meng Yanchen reacted quickly, dodging to the side and simultaneously clutching the document tightly to his chest. Seeing this, Fan Shengmei rushed forward without hesitation, grabbing the stranger's arm with all her might, trying to stop him. In an instant, the atmosphere in the office became extremely tense, thick with a sense of impending doom.

The stranger was incredibly strong, and although Fan Shengmei tried her best to stop him, she gradually felt overwhelmed. Meng Yanchen seized the opportunity, kicking the stranger in the waist. The stranger winced in pain, his body swaying slightly, but he quickly regained his balance and turned to wrestle with Meng Yanchen. Fan Shengmei took the opportunity to catch her breath. She looked around, trying to find something she could use as a weapon to help Meng Yanchen.

Just then, the office phone rang suddenly, its shrill ringing particularly jarring in the tense atmosphere. The stranger paused slightly upon hearing the ring, and Meng Yanchen seized the opportunity to forcefully shove him to the ground. He then quickly ran to the door, locked it, and prevented anyone else from entering.

"Who are you? Who's ordering you around?" Meng Yanchen gasped for breath, glaring at the stranger on the ground. The stranger got up, straightened his clothes, and remained silent. Fan Shengmei walked to Meng Yanchen's side and whispered, "It seems he won't talk easily. Let's control him first, then think of a solution."

However, before they could take any action, a commotion suddenly erupted outside the door, as if many people were rushing towards them. Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei exchanged a glance, inwardly realizing the danger. "They're definitely in cahoots; we have to get out of here quickly," Meng Yanchen said, pulling Fan Shengmei along as they ran out of the office through the side door.

They ran down the company corridor, hurried footsteps echoing behind them. Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei, familiar with the company's layout, weaved through the intricate corridors, trying to shake off their pursuers.

“These people must have been sent by the mysterious investment group. They’ve noticed our investigation,” Fan Shengmei said as she ran. Meng Yanchen nodded, his expression grave. “It seems they’ve started closely monitoring and interfering with us. The situation is becoming increasingly difficult.”

Having finally shaken off their pursuers, Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei arrived at a secret conference room within the company. This place was rarely visited and was relatively safe. As soon as they sat down, Meng Yanchen took out the crucial, protected evidence and carefully examined it to ensure it was undamaged.

“Fortunately, the key evidence is still there. But we can’t stay here any longer; they will definitely continue to search for us.” Meng Yanchen said, carefully putting away the evidence. Fan Shengmei frowned, thinking of a solution: “We need to find a way to strengthen our defenses and not let them have any more opportunities. Moreover, the company’s financial pressure is increasing, and some projects have already had to be suspended, which is not a good sign.”

Meng Yanchen sighed and said, "I know the funding issue is urgent. However, I've already contacted several venture capital firms, hoping to get their support as soon as possible." Just then, Meng Yanchen's phone rang. It was a call from the head of one of the venture capital firms. Meng Yanchen quickly answered, and the excited voice on the other end said, "Mr. Meng, after our evaluation, we've decided to invest in the Fu Group." Meng Yanchen was delighted, but the other party immediately added, "However, due to the current complex market environment, the investment amount we can provide is limited and may not be able to completely solve your company's funding problem."

Although somewhat disappointed, Meng Yanchen still said gratefully, "Thank you very much for your company's support. This is a great help to us." After hanging up the phone, Meng Yanchen told Fan Shengmei the news. Fan Shengmei nodded slightly, "Something is better than nothing. We can use this money to alleviate some of the pressure first, and then think of other solutions."

However, before they could discuss their next steps in detail, the conference room door was suddenly kicked open, and a group of men in black rushed in. Leading them was the same stranger they had encountered in the office earlier. Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei quickly stood up, once again going on high alert.

"What exactly do you want?" Meng Yanchen roared angrily. The stranger sneered, "Hand over the evidence, or none of you will leave here today." Meng Yanchen clenched his fists tightly: "I won't give you the evidence, and your despicable methods will not succeed."

The two sides were deadlocked, and the atmosphere became extremely tense once again. Suddenly, Fan Shengmei had a flash of inspiration. Feigning fear, she said, "Okay, we'll give you the evidence, just don't hurt us." As she spoke, she slowly walked to the table and reached for the evidence. Just when the stranger thought she was about to obediently hand over the evidence, Fan Shengmei suddenly threw it into the air and shouted, "Meng Yanchen, do it!"

Meng Yanchen immediately understood Fan Shengmei's intention. He leaped into the air and kicked the stranger. The stranger, caught off guard by their sudden counterattack, was momentarily stunned. Seeing this, the other men in black rushed forward, engaging Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei in a fierce struggle.

During the fight, Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei fully utilized their wisdom and courage, cleverly using the tables and chairs in the conference room as weapons to contend with the men in black. After a fierce battle, they finally succeeded in defeating the men in black.

Seeing the disheveled man in black on the ground, Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei breathed a sigh of relief. But they knew the danger was far from over, and the mysterious investment group would definitely continue to take action.

“We need to leave here as soon as possible and find a safer place to continue our investigation,” Meng Yanchen said, picking up the evidence from the ground and pulling Fan Shengmei out of the conference room.

They arrived at a pre-prepared safe haven, a relatively secluded location set up by Meng Yanchen to deal with emergencies. As soon as Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei sat down, they began to carefully analyze the current situation.

“The mysterious investment group is becoming increasingly active; they certainly won't let us off easily. We must speed up the investigation and find enough evidence to expose their crimes as soon as possible,” Meng Yanchen said. Fan Shengmei nodded: “That's right, and we also need to find a way to solve the funding problem. Only when the company is stable can we have more energy to deal with them.”

Over the next few days, Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei carefully evaded the surveillance and interference of the mysterious investment group while continuing their in-depth investigation. They searched everywhere for clues and visited various relevant individuals, hoping to find more compelling evidence.

During their investigation, they discovered that the mysterious investment group appeared to be plotting a larger conspiracy, attempting to completely destroy the Fu Group through a series of complex financial maneuvers. While the evidence they currently possessed was crucial, it was not yet sufficient to prompt regulatory action.

“We need to find a crucial breakthrough, evidence that can expose all the conspiracies,” Meng Yanchen said, frowning. Fan Shengmei fell into deep thought. Suddenly, she thought of someone: “Perhaps we can go to Professor Li. He’s an expert in the financial field and knows a lot about various financial methods. Maybe he can help us find that breakthrough.”

Meng Yanchen's eyes lit up: "Yes, Professor Li is highly respected in the industry, and he has always abhorred improper financial practices. If we go to him, we might actually get something out of him."

So, Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei immediately set off for Professor Li's residence. When they knocked on Professor Li's door, he was somewhat surprised to see them: "Mr. Meng, Ms. Fan, what brings you here?" Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei explained their current situation to Professor Li in detail, hoping he could offer some assistance.

After listening, Professor Li's expression became very serious: "The methods used by the mysterious investment group are indeed very covert and complex. Without sufficient evidence, it will be difficult to bring them to justice. However, I can help you analyze the evidence you currently have and see if we can find any new clues."

Professor Li took the evidence from Meng Yanchen and studied it carefully. He frowned and pondered for a long time before finally raising his head and saying, "I've discovered a crucial clue. Look here, the mysterious investment group has a close connection with a seemingly unrelated company when conducting these financial operations. This company is likely their front for concealing the true flow of funds and illegal activities. If we can find direct evidence linking this company to the mysterious investment group, we can bring them all down."

Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei were overjoyed upon hearing this. "Thank you so much, Professor Li. We'll investigate this company right away," Meng Yanchen said gratefully. Professor Li nodded: "You must be careful. The mysterious investment group will definitely try everything to stop you. Moreover, this company may be hiding even deeper secrets."

After saying goodbye to Professor Li, Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei immediately began investigating the company. However, they found that the company's security measures were very tight, making it difficult to obtain evidence.

They first tried normal business investigation methods, but to no avail. Therefore, Meng Yanchen decided to risk infiltrating the company's offices to find crucial evidence. Although Fan Shengmei was worried about Meng Yanchen's safety, she knew it was the only way and could only fully support him.

That night, Meng Yanchen, dressed in black, quietly sneaked into the company building. He carefully avoided the security patrols and arrived at the company's archives. The archives were filled with various documents and materials, and Meng Yanchen began meticulously searching for evidence related to the mysterious investment group.

Just when he was almost in despair, he found a document in a hidden corner. The document detailed the financial transactions and illegal operations between the company and the mysterious investment group. Meng Yanchen was overjoyed. He carefully put the document away and prepared to leave.

However, just as he turned around, he heard a faint sound of footsteps. Meng Yanchen's heart tightened; he knew he had been discovered. He quickly hid to the side, waiting for the enemy to appear.

A moment later, several men who looked like security guards entered. They carried stun guns and looked around warily. Meng Yanchen held his breath, waiting for the best opportunity to break through.

When one of the security guards approached his hiding place, Meng Yanchen suddenly attacked, knocking the guard unconscious. Seeing this, the other security guards rushed over. Meng Yanchen, with his exceptional fighting skills, engaged the guards in a fierce struggle.

After a fierce battle, Meng Yanchen finally managed to defeat the security guards and escape the building. He returned to his safe haven and handed the crucial document to Fan Shengmei. Fan Shengmei looked at the contents of the document, her eyes gleaming with excitement: "Great! With this evidence, we have enough confidence to expose the crimes of the mysterious investment group."

However, their joy was short-lived, as they received news from the company. Some unusual situations had arisen within the company; important project data had been stolen, and the company's network system had been hacked, resulting in the loss of some data. Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei realized that this was undoubtedly another conspiracy by the mysterious investment group, attempting to distract them and prevent them from continuing their investigation by disrupting the company's normal operations.

“It seems they’ve noticed our actions. We must speed things up,” Meng Yanchen said. Fan Shengmei nodded: “On the one hand, we need to submit this evidence to the regulatory authorities as soon as possible; on the other hand, we need to find a way to resolve the company’s internal problems and stabilize its operations.”

Therefore, Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei split up. Meng Yanchen went to the regulatory authorities to submit evidence, while Fan Shengmei returned to the company to handle internal affairs.

Upon returning to the company, Fan Shengmei immediately convened a meeting with department heads to discuss countermeasures. At the meeting, everyone expressed their full cooperation in addressing the crisis. Fan Shengmei began systematically arranging work, strengthening the company's cybersecurity, reorganizing the lost data, and simultaneously calming employees to ensure the company's continued operation.

On his way to the regulatory authorities, Meng Yanchen also encountered some trouble. He discovered he was being followed by a black sedan. Meng Yanchen knew in his heart that this must be people from the mysterious investment group, who wanted to retrieve that crucial evidence.

Meng Yanchen remained calm. Relying on his superb driving skills, he engaged in a thrilling chase with his pursuers through the city streets. He made sharp turns and accelerated at times, trying to shake off his pursuers.

After a fierce chase, Meng Yanchen finally managed to shake off his pursuers and successfully handed the evidence over to the regulatory authorities. The head of the regulatory department stated that they would immediately investigate and verify the evidence, and if the allegations were true, they would take strict measures against the mysterious investment group.

Meng Yanchen breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that although the situation was fraught with danger, they had taken a crucial step. However, he also knew that the mysterious investment group would not give up easily, and they needed to remain vigilant to deal with any challenges that might arise.

Meng Yanchen returned to the company and met up with Fan Shengmei. Looking into each other's tired but determined eyes, they were filled with confidence. They knew that as long as they worked together, they would definitely overcome this difficulty and get the Fu Group back on track.
