The air in the conference room seemed to freeze.
Su Qing's screams still echoed in my ears, but no one bothered to glance her way again.
Her pleas and struggles felt like a farcical one-man show.
I simply sat there quietly, watching her step closer to the abyss.
"Director Lin, regarding this new material..."
Li Mingyuan adjusted his glasses, his gaze toward me filled with complexity.
"The company will immediately establish a task force to conduct a thorough investigation into Su Qing, while also clarifying your innocence."
"Thank you."
My voice was calm, devoid of any ripples, yet a wave of indescribable feelings surged within me.
Is this what I wanted?
The thrill of revenge seemed to be more muted than I had imagined, even somewhat hollow.
After the meeting adjourned, I walked out of the conference room and collided with my assistant, Xiao Chen.
He hesitated, his eyes betraying a hint of unease.
"Director Lin, there's something..."
"What is it?"
I paused, my gaze falling on the document in his hand.
He hesitated for a moment before handing me the document.
"Just now, someone asked me to pass this to you. He didn't leave a name, just said you'd understand once you looked at it."
I took the document; there were no markings on the cover, but the familiar handwriting sent a jolt through me.
It was him!
The mysterious person who had been sending me texts!
I quickly opened the file, revealing a report that was chillingly detailed—everything about Su Qing, including how she had usurped my life, forged evidence to frame me, and manipulated workplace rules to climb to her current position...
There was even evidence of her dealings with certain shady forces!
Each page felt like a heavy blow to my chest, making it hard for me to breathe.
This report was more thorough and ruthless than any previous exposure.
It not only stripped away Su Qing's disguise but also laid bare all her dark secrets under the sunlight, leaving her nowhere to hide.
But what shocked me the most was the last page—
It was a photograph of Su Qing secretly meeting with an unfamiliar man, and written on the back of the photo were these words:
"The 741 Bureau has intervened in the investigation."
The 741 Bureau?
My mind raced with rumors about this mysterious agency—
A secret department specializing in transnational crime and major security incidents, known for their stealthy operations and ruthless methods, referred to by outsiders as "Shadow Blade."
But why are they targeting Su Qing?
And why are they paying attention to me?
"Director Lin?"
Xiao Chen noticed my pale face and cautiously asked.
"It's nothing."
I took a deep breath, closed the file, and quickly left the company building.

At night, I sat alone in my study, staring blankly at the documents on the table.
The System Interface hovered quietly before me, the golden number "100%" still flickering with a faint glow, but at this moment it seemed particularly glaring.
"System."
My voice was low and hoarse. "Tell me, what is going on?"
The system remained silent, as cold and unfeeling as ever.
But this time, I no longer felt anger or disappointment because the answer was beginning to take shape in my mind—
That mysterious person had been guiding all of this from the very beginning!
He not only knew everything about Su Qing but also my past, my abilities, and even my choices...
And his purpose was likely not merely to help me seek revenge but for some greater plan!
The next morning, a phone call shattered my thoughts.
“Ms. Lin Wei, we are from Bureau 741 and would like to meet with you.”
On the other end was a deep, calm male voice, devoid of unnecessary words or explanations. He simply provided an address before hanging up.
The meeting place was an unremarkable little café located on a secluded street at the edge of the city.
As I pushed open the door, I spotted a man in a dark gray trench coat sitting in a corner, waiting for me. He wore sunglasses, obscuring his features, but his cold and authoritative aura made it impossible to ignore his presence.
“Ms. Lin Wei, please take a seat.”
He looked up at me with an assessing gaze. “I am Investigator ‘Shadow’ from Bureau 741.”
“You are…?”
The words hung on my lips, but I didn’t know how to continue. I could only sit in silence, waiting for him to explain.
Shadow nodded and pulled several documents from his briefcase, handing them to me. “These are our findings on the Su Qing case. You may take a look.”
The contents of the documents were similar to the report I had received last night, but they were more detailed and even more shocking—
It turned out that Su Qing had not only stolen my life but had also used her position to engage in illegal activities, including smuggling cultural relics, money laundering, and corporate espionage!
She was no longer just a jealous petty person; she was a full-fledged criminal!
And all of this had been clearly grasped by Bureau 741; they were merely waiting for the right moment to bring her to justice.
"So, you have been using me all along?"
My voice trembled slightly, unsure if it was from anger or shock. "You knew everything from the very beginning, didn't you?"
Shadow did not deny it. He looked directly into my eyes and spoke in a calm yet oppressive tone, "Ms. Lin, we are not using you; we are helping you, and we hope you can help us in return."
"Help you?"
I let out a cold laugh. "You need an ordinary person to help? Don't make me laugh!"
Shadow frowned slightly but quickly regained his composure. "You are not an ordinary person. Your determination, your intelligence, and your 'Destiny AI' are all things we value."
At this, I abruptly raised my head. "You know about the system?"
He nodded. "We cannot fully analyze it, but we can confirm that it is an extremely advanced and unique entity. And you are the only one it recognizes."

Several hours later, I returned home but found myself too exhausted to think of any more questions.
The system, Virtuous Ability, The Three Heavenly Kills... these things that once belonged to the realm of "miracles" now left me feeling an unprecedented fatigue and confusion.
