After Shen Mo proposed the idea of starting from within the Zhao family, everyone sat together and began to discuss the specific plan.

Shen Mo spoke first: "I think we can start with some of the Zhao family's junior managers. They may know a lot of inside information and are relatively easy to be turned against."

My brother frowned and said, "But these people have limited power and may not be able to grasp the core secrets."

Brother Wang then said, "Why don't we try Zhao Yu's close associates? They should know more important things."

Lin Yuwei said worriedly: "But those confidants are loyal to Zhao Yu, I'm afraid it will be difficult to persuade them to rebel."

Shen Mo thought for a moment and said, "Then let's observe secretly and find out those who may be dissatisfied with the Zhao family."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After several days of secret observation and inquiries, they locked on an accountant named Liu San.

Shen Mo found the pub that Liu San often went to, pretended to meet him by chance, and sat down at the same table with him.

Shen Mo smiled and said, "Brother Liu, you look so sad, is there something bothering you?"

Liu San sighed: "Oh, don't mention it. Working for the Zhao family is always a worry."

Shen Mo took the opportunity to ask: "Why? The Zhao family treats you badly?"

Liu San glanced at Shen Mo warily: "Brother, don't say that. If the Zhao family hears about it, I'll be finished."

Shen Mo poured a glass of wine for Liu San: "Brother Liu, don't worry, there are only two of us here. I heard that the Zhao family has been in turmoil recently."

Liu San hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "The Zhao family has offended many people, and I don't know how long I can stay here."

Shen Mo saw that the time was almost right, and said, "Brother Liu, to be honest, I know you have suffered a lot of injustice in the Zhao family. We are investigating some illegal activities of the Zhao family. If you can provide help, I will definitely reward you handsomely in the future."

Liu San was shocked. "You can't do that. The Zhao family has the support of high-ranking officials in the capital. You can't defeat them."

Shen Mo comforted him, "Brother Liu, as long as we have solid evidence, we may have a chance of winning. And think about it, if the Zhao family falls, you don't have to worry anymore."

Liu San remained silent and fell into deep thought.

Shen Mo continued to persuade: "Brother Liu, think about it carefully, this is a good opportunity for you to get rid of the Zhao family."

After a long while, Liu Sancai slowly said: "Okay, I can help you, but you must ensure my safety."

Shen Mo said happily: "Brother Liu, don't worry, as long as you sincerely help us, we will never let you get hurt."

Liu San revealed to Shen Mo some of the Zhao family's financial secrets and the location of the letters exchanged with high-ranking officials in the capital.

Based on the clues provided by Liu San, Shen Mo and others prepared to sneak into Zhao's house to steal evidence.

Just before they were about to take action, everyone gathered together to discuss the details.

My brother said, "We must be careful during this operation and must not be discovered."

Brother Wang nodded and said, "I have already arranged a retreat route. Once we succeed, we will leave immediately."

Lin Yuwei said worriedly: "You must come back safely."

Shen Mo comforted her: "Yuwei, don't worry, we will be careful."

That night, Shen Mo and Brother Wang sneaked into the Zhao family.

They carefully searched for evidence according to the location Liu San said.

Just when they were about to find it, they suddenly heard footsteps.

Brother Wang said nervously: "Oh no, someone is coming."

Shen Mo lowered his voice and said, "Hide first."

They hid in the dark and saw Zhao Yu coming over with a few of his men.

Zhao Yu cursed and said, "It's really not peaceful lately. We must strengthen our defenses."

After Zhao Yu and others left, Shen Mo and Brother Wang continued to look for evidence.

Finally, they found the key letters and account books.

Just as they were about to leave, they were discovered by Zhao family guards.

The guard shouted, "There are thieves! Catch them!"

Shen Mo and Brother Wang tried their best to escape.

Brother Wang said, "Follow the plan and go this way."

They hid here and there in the Zhao family's house, fighting against the pursuers.

He finally escaped from the Zhao family and met up with his brother and Lin Yuwei who were waiting outside.

My brother asked anxiously, "Did you get the evidence?"

Shen Mo raised the package in his hand: "Got it, let's go."

However, before they ran far, they discovered that the Zhao family had sent people to chase them closely.

Shen Mo panted and said, "This is not a solution. We have to go our separate ways."

Brother Wang said, "Okay, let's meet at the old place."

So everyone split up and acted separately to divert the pursuers.

Can they successfully escape the pursuit of the Zhao family? Can the evidence they obtain bring down the Zhao family and their backers?
