The feedback from the Short-Term Analysis Ability surged into my mind, clear and precise.
The source of the document was marked as "internal leak," with a credibility rating of 90%. The most crucial part was how to utilize this information to maximize the damage against Su Qing while ensuring my own safety.
The system's advice was simple and direct: find a suitable intermediary to deliver this information to the company's inspection department, while simultaneously creating a public relations storm that would leave Su Qing with no way to retaliate.
However, the system also warned me that Su Qing was no ordinary opponent. She would quickly sense danger and take countermeasures.
"So, I need to strike first," I murmured softly.

That night, I sat alone in my study, staring at the document and the analysis results on my phone screen.
The neon lights outside reflected on the glass, resembling an endless maze, and I stood at the center of the chessboard.
Suddenly, my phone vibrated—a new text message from an unknown sender.
"Be careful of Su Qing; she has already started to act."
Just a short sentence, yet it felt like a deep-water bomb, stirring up huge waves in my heart.
Who sent this message? How did they know about Su Qing's movements?
I quickly dialed the number, but the line was already disconnected. This made me even more alert—clearly, someone was observing this game from the shadows, but which side were they on?

The next morning, I arrived at the office as usual, but an unusual tension hung in the air.
The receptionist looked at me with a hint of curiosity, while colleagues in the hallway gathered in small groups, whispering among themselves. Clearly, something was brewing.
I walked straight to my office, only to find an unexpected figure standing at the door—Vice President Li Mingyuan.
He held a folder in his hand, his expression serious enough to send chills down my spine. "Director Lin, do you have a moment to talk?"
"Of course." I smiled slightly, trying to keep my tone casual. "I wonder what brings you to me, Mr. Li?"
He didn’t answer but gestured for me to follow him into the conference room. After closing the door, he pushed the folder toward me. "Take a look at this."
I opened the file and immediately recognized it as the information given to me by that mysterious man yesterday, though parts of it had been redacted. Clearly, this was a processed version meant to test my reaction.
"Mr. Li, what does this mean?" I looked up, feigning confusion. "What do you think this has to do with me?"
"Director Lin." Li Mingyuan fixed his gaze on me, his tone stern. "You should know what our company fears most."
His meaning was crystal clear—if this information were to leak, the company would undoubtedly face a public relations crisis, and as the person involved, Su Qing would not let it go easily.
But he seemed to underestimate my ability to respond. I slowly closed the file and smiled faintly. "Mr. Li, I understand your concerns. But frankly speaking, this has nothing to do with me. If you suspect anything, feel free to investigate directly."
"Lin Wei!" Li Mingyuan suddenly raised his voice, a note of intimidation creeping in. "Don’t think you can distance yourself from this! The issue now isn’t whether you were involved; it’s about how to suppress this matter!"
Suppress it?
I scoffed inwardly. This was exactly Su Qing's usual tactic—covering up all problems beneath the surface to maintain her false perfect image. But this time, I wouldn’t let her succeed!
"Mr. Li," I said calmly but with undeniable firmness, "if you truly want to resolve the issue, then start from the source instead of shifting blame onto innocent people."
With that, I stood up and left the conference room, not giving him another chance to pressure me.
Upon returning to the office, I immediately began to deploy the next step of my plan.
First, I contacted a trusted old classmate who currently works at a well-known media outlet. I sent him the unedited version of the materials along with a message: "Anonymous exposure, but please protect the source."
Next, I dialed the phone number of the head of the company's oversight department, speaking in a casual tone. "Director Zhao, there are some matters that might need your attention. I've heard that there are some anomalies in the data of recent projects; I wonder if you would be interested in looking into it?"
The other party was clearly taken aback by my words but quickly agreed to verify the situation as soon as possible.

By afternoon, the company was indeed in an uproar. An article about workplace scandals and high-level corruption was published on major news websites, with our "Elegant Goddess" Su Qing as the main subject!
The article not only detailed her past misdeeds but also included relevant photographic evidence. This content quickly sparked heated discussions, causing fluctuations in the company's stock price.
At that moment, the company's oversight department announced a comprehensive investigation, requiring all projects overseen by Su Qing to be put on hold for review. This was undoubtedly a fatal blow for a workplace elite!

At eight o'clock in the evening, while I was at home organizing my thoughts, I received a call from an unfamiliar number.
"Lin Wei." The cold and piercing voice of Su Qing came through the line. "You really have some skill!"
"Thank you for the compliment," I replied calmly. "But aren't you mistaken? What does this have to do with me?"
"Don't play dumb!" she nearly shouted. "Who else would dare to do this besides you?!"
"Su Qing, you think too highly of yourself," I said, maintaining my calm tone but laced with sarcasm. "If you truly had nothing to hide, why would you be so anxious?"
There was a brief silence on the other end of the line, but soon she spoke in a low, dangerous tone, "Lin Wei, do you really think this will lead to your victory? Don't forget who helped you reach your current position!"
Hearing those words, I couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. "Yes, I owe you for that initial push. But what about now? What have you done?"
She didn't respond, just hung up the phone with a sharp click. A chilling smile crept onto my lips.

In the dead of night, as the entire city lay in silence, I stood by the window, gazing at the brightly lit buildings in the distance, feeling an unusual calm within.
The System Interface popped up again: " Virtuous Ability: 60%."
Although the number wasn't particularly high, it filled me with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. Today, I not only defended my dignity but also made that person who stole my life pay a price!
However, I knew this was just the beginning. The real battle awaited us ahead. All I had to do was remain composed.

Just then, my phone screen lit up with another anonymous message:
"Be careful, she has more tricks up her sleeve."
