Meng Yanchen gently patted Fan Shengmei's shoulder. "Don't worry, no matter what happens, I'll be by your side. Let's focus on resolving the immediate crisis. I won't let anyone hurt you." Fan Shengmei nodded slightly, her eyes filled with gratitude and determination. She sat back down at her desk and continued reviewing the documents. However, a sense of unease lingered in her heart. She wondered what kind of trouble the document related to her fake socialite identity would bring them.
The office was quiet, save for the rustling of papers and the soft breathing of the two people inside. Fan Shengmei was intently searching for clues among a pile of documents, her fingers moving quickly through the pages, her eyes scanning each one. Suddenly, a slightly worn document caught her eye, and the title made her heart skip a beat—"Background Investigation into Fan Shengmei's Identity."
Fan Shengmei picked up the document with trembling hands. After reading just a few lines, her face turned deathly pale. The document detailed her past as a fake socialite, even including photos of the parties she had attended. In the photos, she was deliberately dressed glamorously, yet her underlying unease was undeniable. What terrified her even more was that the document indicated someone had been secretly investigating her, and the investigation seemed to be ongoing.
“Yan Chen…” Fan Shengmei’s voice trembled as she instinctively handed the document to Meng Yan Chen. Meng Yan Chen, who had been focused on the documents in his hand, immediately put them down and took the document when he saw Fan Shengmei’s terrified expression. He quickly scanned the contents, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper, a flash of anger and wariness in his eyes.
"This...how could this be?" Fan Shengmei's lips trembled slightly. "How could someone investigate me and compile these things into a document?"
Meng Yanchen took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. "Don't panic, Xiaomei. This is likely a tactic by a mysterious investment group or a competitor. They want to use this to hurt us."
Fan Shengmei felt a surge of panic. "But if my identity is revealed, the consequences will be unimaginable. It won't just affect me; it will also affect you and the Fu Group."
Meng Yanchen grasped Fan Shengmei's hand, trying to give her strength. "I understand, but we can't panic. Since they're using this to deal with us, it means they don't have any better options."
Meng Yanchen pondered for a moment, then continued, "It seems we need to speed up the investigation; we can't give them another chance. At the same time, I need to strengthen your protection so they can't take advantage of the situation."
Fan Shengmei nodded, her reliance on Meng Yanchen growing even stronger. Meng Yanchen quickly picked up the phone and called the security manager, "From now on, strengthen Ms. Fan's personal protection, arrange the most reliable personnel, 24 hours a day. In addition, the company's internal security system will be fully upgraded to prevent anyone from stealing data or infiltrating."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Yanchen contacted his trusted aide, "Go and investigate whether any suspicious individuals have been seen near the company recently, especially those connected to the mysterious investment group or competitor companies. Also, investigate the source of this document and see if you can find the mastermind behind it."
After making these arrangements, Meng Yanchen turned to Fan Shengmei and said, "Xiaomei, try to minimize going out during this period, and have security personnel accompany you if anything happens. I will make arrangements at the company, and we will get through this together."
As Fan Shengmei watched Meng Yanchen methodically arrange everything, her panic gradually subsided. She took a deep breath, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I will also continue to assist you in investigating the mysterious investment group; we can't let them succeed."
In the following time, Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei carefully studied the document again, trying to find more clues. Apart from the information about Fan Shengmei's fake socialite identity, the document didn't contain any other particularly valuable information, but they still examined it repeatedly, not overlooking any detail.
“Look here,” Fan Shengmei said, pointing to a date on the document. “This date is the date I attended that party. They recorded it in great detail, which shows they’ve been keeping an eye on me. But why are they only producing this document now?”
Meng Yanchen pondered for a moment, "Perhaps they didn't think this was a powerful weapon against us before, or perhaps they were waiting for the right opportunity. Now, it's possible that our investigation of them has made them feel threatened, so they want to use this to disrupt our rhythm."
Fan Shengmei bit her lip. "No matter what, we can't let them have their way. I'll be more careful and won't let them use my identity to do anything detrimental."
As time passed, darkness gradually fell outside the office. The city's neon lights began to flicker, shining through the windows and casting dappled shadows on the two people. Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei, however, had no time to appreciate the night view; they were immersed in dealing with the crisis and searching for the truth.
Meng Yanchen stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the bustling streets outside, silently pondering a solution. Fan Shengmei, meanwhile, sat at her desk, continuing to organize other information about the mysterious investment group, hoping to find some breakthrough.
Suddenly, Meng Yanchen's cell phone rang, breaking the silence. He quickly answered; it was his subordinate in charge of investigating suspicious individuals. "Mr. Meng, we've found some clues. There are several suspicious people in a coffee shop near the company. Our investigation reveals they have connections to a competitor. Should we take action?"
Meng Yanchen's eyes sharpened. "Don't act rashly yet. Continue to monitor them and see what they do next. Report back to me immediately."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Yanchen turned to Fan Shengmei and said, "It seems our guess was right; they are indeed taking action. We need to be more careful and not let them realize that we have discovered their plan."
Fan Shengmei nodded to indicate that she understood. "So what do we do next? Continue to wait for them to make a move, or take the initiative?"
Meng Yanchen walked back to his desk and sat down. "We don't know their full plan yet, so let's hold back and wait for the right opportunity. At the same time, we need to speed up our investigation into the mysterious investment group and try to grasp their core secrets as soon as possible so that we can take the initiative."
Time passed slowly in a tense atmosphere. Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei waited for the investigation to progress while continuing their in-depth research into the mysterious investment group's information. Meanwhile, Meng Yanchen also arranged for the company's technical team to conduct a comprehensive check of the internal network to prevent anyone from stealing confidential information online.
As Fan Shengmei watched Meng Yanchen's busy figure, a complex mix of emotions welled up inside her. On one hand, she was grateful for Meng Yanchen's protection and support during the crisis; on the other hand, she felt guilty for causing Meng Yanchen trouble because of her identity.
"Yan Chen, I'm sorry, my situation has caused you and the company so much trouble," Fan Shengmei said softly.
Meng Yanchen stopped what he was doing, looked at Fan Shengmei, his gaze gentle yet firm, "Xiaomei, don't say that. We're facing this together; your problems are my problems. Besides, this is also a process of us fighting our opponents together. As long as we work together, we will definitely overcome this difficulty."
Fan Shengmei nodded slightly, tears of emotion glistening in her eyes. In this moment of crisis, Meng Yanchen's words gave her warmth and strength.
After some time, the subordinates in charge of investigating the source of the document reported that they had not yet found the specific source of the document, but they found that the format and layout of the document were similar to some documents used by their competitors, which further confirmed their suspicions.
Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei exchanged a glance, becoming even more certain that this was a conspiracy by their opponents. "It seems we are getting closer and closer to the truth," Meng Yanchen said, "but before exposing them, we must ensure we have sufficient evidence and not alert them."
Fan Shengmei agreed, "Yes, we need to be careful. However, I'm still worried about my identity. If it's made public, public opinion will definitely be against us."
Meng Yanchen gently held Fan Shengmei's hand. "Don't worry, I'll find a way to solve this. Until then, you must take good care of yourself."
As night deepened, Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei remained busy in their office. They knew the road ahead was full of challenges, but they also firmly believed that as long as they joined hands, they would surely break through the darkness and usher in the light.
In this tense atmosphere, Fan Shengmei and Meng Yanchen continue to work hard to deal with the crisis. However, who exactly is investigating Fan Shengmei's fake socialite identity? And how will they use this identity to launch an attack? Everything is still unknown, like a mystery hidden in the darkness, waiting for them to unravel it.
