After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

Chapter 237 Internal and external troubles

The number Xiang Yu dialed was the most mysterious yet most reliable department in the company - the Security Information Department. This department reports directly to Xiang Yu and is responsible for handling all security-related matters within the company. Its members are elites selected from thousands of people, with top technology and rich experience.

"Notify Cheng and ask him to come to my office immediately." Xiang Yu gave brief instructions.

In less than ten minutes, Cheng knocked on the door and walked in. He was tall and thin, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, with sharp eyes that seemed to see through everything. As the head of the security information department, Cheng was known as a "genius" in the field of network security and had solved difficult network attack incidents for many multinational companies.

"Cheng, there may be a traitor in the company. I need you to thoroughly check all internal systems and find any suspicious traces." Xiang Yu handed the anonymous letter to Cheng, "Also, contact Wu and ask him to conduct background checks on all employees, especially those in core departments."

Cheng took the letter, read it carefully, and his expression became serious: "I understand, Mr. Xiang, we will start the investigation as soon as possible."

Xiang Yu and Yan Jin knew very well that the investigation had to be conducted in secret. Otherwise, if the traitor was alerted, he would likely destroy the evidence or even do something desperate that would harm the interests of the company.

The investigation team quickly started working under high confidentiality. Cheng led his team to conduct a thorough investigation of the company's internal network system, from server logs to employee email records, leaving no detail untouched.

At the same time, Wu also began to mobilize his personal connections to conduct background checks on the company's employees. Like an experienced hunter, he tried to find the traitor hiding in the dark from clues with his keen insight and professional investigation skills.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the office of the investigation team was filled with a tense atmosphere. Codes flashed on the computer screen, and the printer kept spitting out documents. Everyone was working at full capacity.

Finally, Cheng found some anomalies when checking the network access records.

"Mr. Xiang, Mr. Yan, you'd better come and take a look at this." Cheng pointed at a few lines of records on the screen, frowning, "These access requests come from an internal IP address, but the time and content of the access are very suspicious."

Xiang Yu and Yan Jin immediately realized that this might be the key clue to finding the traitor. They held their breath and stared at the screen closely.

"Trace this IP address and see which external servers it connects to and what data it sends." Xiang Yu ordered calmly.

A few minutes later, Cheng looked up with a serious expression: "This IP address is connected to..." "This IP address is connected to the private mailbox of Zheng, the human resources manager of a competitor's company. The data packets sent are encrypted, but I suspect they are confidential documents about our upcoming new project 'Starry Sea'." Cheng's voice was low, but it was particularly clear in the silent office.

"Zheng..." Xiang Yu tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and the image of a middle-aged man with greasy hair and powdered face emerged in his mind. He had met this man at an industry summit. At that time, he just thought that this man was too attentive. He didn't expect that he was actually a pawn planted by his competitor!

The "Starry Sea" project is a confidential project that Xiang Group has been preparing for two years. Once successfully developed, it will subvert the entire industry. The project team members are elite backbones who have been screened through layers of screening, and they are very cautious about confidentiality. Unexpectedly, a leak still occurred!

"Investigate! Investigate carefully! See who this Zheng has come into contact with!" A cold light flashed in Xiang Yu's eyes, and his tone was sharp.

Relying on the connections he had accumulated over the years, Wu quickly found Zheng's contact within the Xiang Group - Li Ming, the project manager of the marketing department.

Li Ming has worked in Xiang Group for five years. He works diligently and has outstanding performance. He has always been regarded as a "good guy" by everyone. Who would have thought that such a person would be the insider who betrayed the interests of the company?

"Boss, do you want to directly control Li Ming and interrogate him?" Wu suggested.

"No rush. We can't alert the enemy before we have solid evidence." Yan Jin analyzed calmly, "If Li Ming is really the traitor, then there must be someone behind him. We can't close the net easily. We have to catch them all in one fell swoop!"

Xiang Yu looked at Yan Jin with appreciation, and then ordered: "Cheng, arrange for someone to monitor Li Ming's computer and mobile phone, and at the same time strengthen the security measures of the company's internal network. No confidential information must be leaked out."

"I understand!" Cheng nodded and turned around to devote himself to his busy work.

As night fell, the Xiang Group Building was still brightly lit. Xiang Yu and Yan Jin stood side by side in front of the French window, overlooking the night view of the city, but their hearts were filled with heaviness.

"I didn't expect that there was such a big crisis hidden within the company." Xiang Yu sighed, with a hint of fatigue in his tone.

"The larger the company, the more likely it is to have various problems." Yan Jin said calmly, "This incident has also sounded the alarm for us. We must strengthen internal management and prevent problems before they occur."

"You're right." Xiang Yu took a deep breath, a determined light flashed in his eyes, "This time, I will make those who have evil intentions pay the price they deserve!"

Cheng's fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard, and lines of code were like jumping elves, constructing an invisible net on the screen in front of him... Cheng's mouth curled up into an imperceptible smile, but the light behind the lens was as sharp as a knife. He laid an invisible net in the virtual world, waiting for the prey to fall into the trap.

He forged a report on the latest progress of the "Starry Sea" project, deliberately leaving several obvious loopholes in it, and uploaded the document to a secret corner of the company's internal network, setting it so that only people with specific permissions could access it.

After doing all this, Cheng leaned back in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief. The bait had been cast, and now it depended on whether the fish would take the bait.

Li Ming has been feeling uneasy lately. Ever since Manager Zheng contacted him last time, he has felt a sense of uneasiness creeping into his heart. The company has recently increased its emphasis on information security, which has put him under tremendous pressure.

He tried to contact Manager Zheng, but found that the call could not be connected. An ominous premonition came to his mind, and he decided to take the risk, get the final reward, and run away.

Late at night, Li Ming sneaked into the office and turned on the computer. Following Manager Zheng's previous instructions, he logged into an encrypted website and entered his username and password.

The website interface was very simple, with only one file download link. Li Ming took a deep breath and clicked the download button.

At the same time, a message popped up on Cheng's computer screen: "Target has taken the bait!"

He looked at the download progress bar on the screen, and the smile on his face gradually widened.

After downloading the file, Li Ming immediately deleted all chat records and emails on his computer, and then formatted the hard drive. After doing all this, he put the USB drive in his pocket and hurriedly left the company.

However, what he didn't know was that all of this was under Cheng's control. The file he downloaded was not the latest progress report of the "Starry Sea" project, but a bait file that hid a tracking program.

Cheng looked at Li Ming's real-time location displayed on the screen, picked up the phone, and dialed Xiang Yu's number: "Li Ming has taken the bait and is fleeing the company. We are now..." "Send me the location." Xiang Yu's tone was cold, revealing a sense of oppression that a storm was about to come. He hung up the phone, grabbed the coat on the back of the chair, and strode out of the office.

Yan Jin was reviewing documents in the office. Seeing Xiang Yu's hurried look, he immediately put down the documents in his hand and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Li Ming has been exposed. Let's catch him now." Xiang Yu explained concisely, with a hint of uncontrollable anger in his tone.

Yan Jin said nothing, picked up her phone and coat, and walked out of the company building side by side with Xiang Yu.

The location sent by Cheng showed that Li Ming was fleeing towards the suburbs. Xiang Yu and Yan Jin had already notified the company's security department, and several black cars sped in the night, quickly approaching the target location.

Li Ming was blocked at a remote road junction. He tried to escape in panic, but was surrounded by security guards who had been lying in ambush.

Li Ming was taken back to the company, and facing the glaring lights in the interrogation room, his psychological defenses completely collapsed and he confessed everything. He admitted that he was bribed by Manager Zheng with a high reward and stole the confidential documents of the company's "Starry Sea" project.

The investigation team found a large number of confidential company documents in Li Ming's computer, confirming his guilt.

The next morning, the atmosphere within Xiang Group was particularly tense. All employees were summoned to the conference room for an emergency meeting.

Xiang Yu and Yan Jin walked up to the podium side by side, their faces very serious.

"I called you all here today because I have something very important to announce." Xiang Yu's voice was deep and powerful. "After our investigation, we found that there is a commercial spy inside the company, and he has stolen the company's confidential documents."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the conference room.

Xiang Yu then announced the results of the investigation and emphasized the company's emphasis on internal security. At the same time, he also said that the company would strengthen internal management to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

"I know that what happened in the company recently has made everyone very worried." Yan Jin's voice was calm and composed, "But please believe that we will definitely solve all problems and get the company back on track."

Yan Jin's eyes swept across the crowd below the stage, finally stopping on Cheng, and she nodded slightly.

Cheng understood what he meant, and he knew that now was the time to proceed with the next plan...
