The End of the World: Chaos

As the night deepened, the stars twinkled outside the window, as if blessing their agreement. Ruth felt an unprecedented power, her heart filled with hope and courage.

"I think the soup tonight is particularly delicious." Ruth said softly, with a gentle light in her eyes.

"Because I cooked it myself." Yang Yi smiled mischievously, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, "If you find it delicious, I can cook it a few more times next time."

"Very good!" Ruth nodded happily, her heart full of anticipation. "I will definitely enjoy every dish you make."

"Then I will do my best to satisfy you." Yang Yi said seriously, his tone firm, "As long as you are happy, I am happy too."

The two smiled at each other, knowing that their feelings were growing quietly. Late at night, Ruth felt a wave of fatigue coming over her, and her eyelids gradually became heavy. She yawned lightly and leaned on Yang Yi's shoulder, feeling his warmth.

"Yang Yi, I want to rest." Ruth said softly, with a hint of fatigue in her voice.

"Okay, go to sleep. I will always be with you." Yang Yi responded gently, hugging Ruth lightly and bringing her closer.

Ruth closed her eyes, feeling Yang Yi's warmth, and felt safe. She gradually fell asleep in Yang Yi's arms. Yang Yi looked at her quietly, his heart full of tenderness and determination to protect her.

"Ruth, good night." Yang Yi said softly, his eyes full of tenderness and determination.

In the dead of night, the city is immersed in silence, and their hearts are intertwined at this moment, as if whispering endless warmth and hope...

Antonini sat across from the desk, his face full of worry. He kept tapping his knees with his fingers, as if he was making final mental preparations for what he was about to say.

"Yang Yi, what exactly do you want to say?" Antonini finally couldn't bear it anymore and broke the silence, revealing a hint of uneasiness in his words.

Yang Yi raised his head, his eyes sparkling, looking at Antonini through his black-framed glasses, his mouth slightly raised, as if hiding the complex emotions in his heart: "What I want to say may surprise you."

"Surprised?" Antonini's heartbeat quickened, and countless guesses flashed through his mind. "Are you trying to tell him of bad luck?"

"Bad luck?" Yang Yi chuckled, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes, "You are always so pessimistic. However, some things are not as simple as they seem."

Antonini's heart tightened, and he couldn't help asking, "You mean... about our business?"

"That's right." Yang Yi put down the brush in his hand, folded his hands on his knees, and said solemnly, "There have been unusual fluctuations in the company recently. I suspect someone is behind this."

"You said... someone deliberately wants to destroy our plan?" Antonini's voice trembled, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger.

"That's right." Yang Yi nodded, his eyes firm. "I have collected some information and found several suspicious transaction records. Several internal documents have been tampered with. We need to find this person."

Antonini's face turned pale, and he felt a sense of foreboding in his heart: "What evidence do you have? We cannot accuse others at will."

"Evidence..." Yang Yi said in a low voice, as if he was weighing the pros and cons, "I haven't obtained conclusive evidence yet, but my intuition tells me that this person is right beside us."

"You mean... among our team?" Antonini's voice became a little higher, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

"That's right." Yang Yi's eyes were like swords, piercing Antonini's heart, "I suspect... it's the person around you."

Antonini was shocked, anger and fear intertwined: "Who are you trying to hint at? I need to know this person's name! If there is a traitor, I will never tolerate it!"

"Please be patient, Antonini." Yang Yi's tone softened a little. "We can't jump to conclusions now. First, we should collect more information to confirm this person's identity."

"You have a point." Antonini took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "So, what should we do?"

"We can start from several aspects." Yang Yi began to plan in detail, "First, observe the behavior of the team members to see if they have any abnormal behavior. Secondly, I will review the recent account books and find out what is unreasonable."

"That sounds good." Antonini nodded, his mind gradually becoming more rational. "But will this move arouse suspicion from others? If they knew that we were investigating, it might backfire."

"Therefore, we must be careful." Yang Yi said firmly, "I will investigate in secret, and you must maintain normalcy. We must always be alert and be ready to deal with any possible situation at any time."

"Understood." Antonini's eyes became firmer. "I will do my best to control the situation and make sure no one notices our plan."

"Very good." Yang Yi nodded with satisfaction, thinking to himself that this kind of cooperation made him feel a little relieved. He believed that Antonini was a trustworthy companion.

However, Antonini's heart was not completely calmed down. He vaguely felt that the "traitor" Yang Yi mentioned was not just a simple rebel, but a huge shadow lurking beside them.

"Yang Yi, have you ever thought about what his motive is if there really is a traitor?" Antonini suddenly asked, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Motive?" Yang Yi was slightly startled, then realized, "This may be related to interests. Perhaps it is for personal gain, or to weaken the strength of our team."

"Then, we need to find out this person's motive so that we can better understand his actions." Antonini's thoughts began to become active. "If we can find his motive, perhaps we can lock him down."

"Yes, motive is the key." Yang Yi's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, "We need to carefully study the backgrounds of everyone and see who is most likely to be the suspect."

"I will start investigating." Antonini said firmly, "If there are any clues, I will inform you as soon as possible."

"Good." Yang Yi nodded, secretly thanking Antonini for his decisiveness. "Remember, no details can be ignored."

At this moment, there was a slight knock on the door, interrupting their conversation. Antonini and Yang Yi looked at each other, feeling a little nervous.

"Come in," Antonini said loudly, his tone revealing uneasiness.

The door slowly opened, and a young clerk walked in with a professional smile on his face: "Boss An, Boss Yang, there is a document that needs your signature."

"Okay, just put it on the table." Antonini tried his best to make his voice sound calm, but he was thinking about the conversation just now.

The clerk placed the document on the table and left respectfully. Antonini and Yang Yi looked at each other and both knew that everything had just begun.

"Continue our plan." Yang Yi's voice was low and firm. "We must find the hidden traitor before the shadow fully reveals itself."

"I will do it." Antonini's eyes flashed with determination, and he secretly vowed in his heart that he would protect their team and not let anyone destroy their efforts.

The sunlight still shines through the curtains and falls on the floor. Time passes quietly, and their fate changes quietly during this conversation.
