I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

Chen Yuan shook his head and said, "I'm not too sure about the specific plan, but they do have a mole inside who's responsible for passing on information. What I'm sure of is that this person is right next to President Sheng."

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Li Ming walked in. Seeing the scene in the living room, he immediately became alert and whispered to Lu Yining, "Miss Lu, who is he?"

Lu Yining briefly introduced Chen Yuan to Li Ming and gestured for him to stay. "Let's hear what he has to say first," she said calmly.

Chen Yuan grew even more nervous as he looked at Li Ming's tall, solemn figure. He continued, "That traitor must be a high-ranking executive. He's very knowledgeable about many things in the company. Furthermore, his actions are very cautious, making them difficult to detect."

Li Ming frowned and said in a deep voice, "Can you tell us how he passed on the information?"

Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke, "He usually communicates with people outside through a special encrypted communication method. The specific tool is a small encryption device that looks like an ordinary mobile phone."

Li Ming nodded, turned to Lu Yining, and whispered, "Miss Lu, let's let him stay here for now and make a decision after President Sheng comes back."

Lu Yining agreed to his suggestion, then looked at Chen Yuan and said firmly, "Okay, you can stay. But you are not allowed to leave this room until we are sure whether what you said is true."

Chen Yuan nodded, looking relieved.

There was a clatter of footsteps outside the door; a group of security guards were on patrol. One of them stopped, looked curiously at the three people inside, and said softly, "I didn't expect tonight to be so tense. I wonder if President Sheng and the others can successfully resolve this matter."

The colleague next to him nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I heard that the traitor is very cunning, and if he's not careful, he might bring even greater trouble to the company."

The two talked as they walked, their tone full of worry and anxiety.

Meanwhile, the room was completely silent, save for Chen Yuan's restless gaze. Lu Yining sat quietly, her mind rapidly calculating her next move.

Suddenly, Chen Yuan raised his head, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "Ms. Lu, I believe I can prove myself. If you need evidence, I can help you find the encryption device. That way, we can catch the traitor."

Lu Yining's heart stirred, and he looked at Li Ming. Li Ming was silent for a moment, then nodded. "That's a feasible solution. But you have to understand that if all this is false, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."

Chen Yuan nodded vigorously, as if he had made up his mind. He said, "Please believe me, I really want to help you."

There was another knock on the door, and a young female secretary rushed in, looking anxious and saying, "Ms. Lu, the police called and said they have some important clues and need President Sheng to go there in person. But they can't contact President Sheng for the time being..."

Lu Yining frowned slightly, then calmed down and said to the female secretary, "Please inform them that President Sheng will be here soon. I will take care of things here as soon as possible and then rush over."

The secretary nodded, turned and left the room.

Li Ming turned to look at Chen Yuan and said coldly, "Take us to find that device now. We won't give you any chance to play tricks."

Chen Yuan swallowed and nodded in agreement. The three of them stood up and prepared to leave when the security guards outside the door started to talk.

A young security guard whispered, "Looks like there's a new situation. I wonder if there's any danger."

The old security guard next to him sighed and said, "We can only do our best to protect everyone's safety. I hope Mr. Sheng and his team can resolve these problems as soon as possible."

Another passerby heard their conversation and asked in surprise: "What's going on here? It's so tense."

The old security guard shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's nothing serious, just a little trouble."

Lu Yining took a deep breath, collected himself, and said to Li Ming and Chen Yuan, "No matter what, we must proceed with caution. If we find the equipment, call the police immediately."

Chen Yuan nodded solemnly, and the three of them walked out of the villa, heading towards their unknown destination. In the darkness of the night, a new battle was about to begin...

"No matter who he is, I'll get to the bottom of it," Lu Yining vowed silently, moving forward with determined steps. The night was as dark as ink as the three of them set out on their quest to find the encryption device. Outside the villa, several black cars sat quietly on the roadside, their headlights illuminating a small section of the road ahead. Lu Yining, Li Ming, and Chen Yuan quickly climbed into their cars. The atmosphere inside was heavy, broken only by the roar of the engines and the occasional whispered conversation.

"Chen Yuan, are you sure you know the exact location of this device?" Lu Yining stared at Chen Yuan, his voice filled with unquestionable firmness.

Chen Yuan swallowed and nodded: "I have seen them several times before. They often exchange information in a hidden place. There should be clues there."

"Where exactly?" Li Ming's voice was low and powerful, and it was obvious that he did not completely trust Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath and said slowly, "It's in an abandoned warehouse in the south of the city. It's very hidden and not easy to be discovered. Besides, that traitor often appears there."

Lu Yining frowned. She knew it was a gamble, but it was also her only hope. "Then go," she said coldly.

The car sped towards the south of the city. The road was nearly deserted, with only the flickering streetlights in the distance. Upon reaching their destination, Lu Yining was the first to get out, his eyes warily scanning the surroundings. It was a long-abandoned warehouse area, its dilapidated gate half-open, and the interior was pitch black.

"Let's split up and be careful." Lu Yining whispered, "Li Ming, take two people and guard outside, just in case."

Li Ming nodded, took out a flashlight from the car and handed it to Lu Yining, then signaled two security guards to stand guard outside. Lu Yining and Chen Yuan walked into the warehouse, the flashlight beam cutting through the darkness, illuminating the road ahead.

The warehouse was filled with various scrap items: metal boxes, wooden shelves, and scattered papers. A musty smell hung in the air, making it feel particularly oppressive. Lu Yining, clutching a flashlight, cautiously led the way, while Chen Yuan followed closely behind.

"This is where they often hang out." Chen Yuan said in a low voice with a hint of nervousness in his tone.

Lu Yining nodded, her eyes searching the surroundings. Suddenly, she noticed a small computer and some electronic equipment in a corner, with a few papers scattered around.

"These are..." Lu Yining walked over and shone the flashlight on the papers, and found that there were numbers and symbols densely written on them.

Chen Yuan also stepped forward, took a closer look, and nodded, "Yes, this is the device they use to transmit information. It seems there are indeed important clues here."
