Spy Wars: Strong Agents Who Are Ruthless and Talk Little

"It seems we need to find an opportunity to approach him." Su Ming said after thinking for a moment, "I need to know more about his background and motivations."

Lin Yue nodded with a serious expression: "This may be the key for us to solve the mystery. Su Ming learned that Chen Kai would hold a private dinner at a high-end hotel and invite some business partners and senior people to attend. Su Ming decided to use this opportunity to get close to Chen Kai to obtain more information.

On the day of the banquet, Su Ming, dressed in a smart suit, blended in with the guests. He wandered the halls, observing everyone's movements. Soon, he noticed Chen Kai chatting and laughing with several business professionals. His demeanor was elegant, and there was no sign of the secrets hidden behind him.

"This guy is really not simple. He needs a suitable time to contact Chen Kai.

Soon, an opportunity presented itself. Chen Kai walked to a relatively quiet terrace, seemingly seeking a moment of solitude. Su Ming took a deep breath and approached, holding a glass of champagne.

"Mr. Chen, excuse me." Su Ming said with a smile, trying to act as natural as possible.

Chen Kai turned around and his eyes fell on Su Ming. After a moment of surprise, he smiled politely: "Who are you?"

"I'm John, from an investment company. Trying to arouse the other party's interest.

"Oh, John, nice to meet you." Chen Kai nodded, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes. "Is there any special reason for you to attend my dinner?"

"I heard that Interstellar Technology has been developing some very promising technological projects recently, and I am very interested in them." Su Ming continued to probe, trying to see if he could get more information from Chen Kai.

"Interstellar Technology is indeed working on some exciting projects," Chen Kai said calmly. "We are working hard to push the boundaries of existing technology and bring more possibilities to the future."

Su Ming nodded in agreement, but in his heart he was secretly analyzing every subtle expression on Chen Kai's face. Although he appeared to be a graceful businessman, the occasional shrewdness in his eyes made Su Ming certain that Chen Kai was no good.

"I heard that these projects have attracted a lot of people's attention." Su Ming continued, with a tentative tone in his voice.

"Yes," Chen Kai smiled, "but this also shows that we are on the right track."

"You seem very confident in these projects." Su Ming praised, hoping to further guide the topic.

"Of course," Chen Kai nodded slightly, "However, we also need to remain vigilant at all times, because there are always people who want to disrupt our plans."

"Destroy?" Su Ming keenly caught the word and continued to ask, "Are you referring to competitors?"

"Or some people with bad intentions." Chen Kai said meaningfully, his eyes briefly resting on Su Ming.

Su Ming's heart tightened, realizing he might be under suspicion. He knew he couldn't press the issue any further, or else it would alert Chen Kai.

"I'm very much looking forward to seeing new breakthroughs in interstellar technology." Su Ming politely ended the conversation and made an excuse to leave the terrace.

After returning to the banquet hall, Su Ming still felt uneasy. He knew that Chen Kai had become suspicious of him, and he had to be more cautious in his next actions.

A few days later, Su Ming and Lin Yue met at her apartment, and they needed to readjust their plans.

"Chen Kai has become suspicious of me. His brows furrowed," Lin Yue warned. "He's no ordinary person. To be able to master interstellar technology in such a short period of time, he must have some special means."

"Yes, I have to find his weakness." Su Ming said, "We must lock onto this 'shadow' as soon as possible, otherwise everything we have done may be in vain."

"I recently looked up some information about his background." Lin Yue opened her computer and displayed her findings. "Chen Kai has lived abroad for a long time, particularly in high-tech companies."

"These companies may be his backers. We can find his profit chain through these companies."

"Moreover, he seems to have connections with an international organization." Lin Yue added, "This organization may be the black market consortium you have been tracking."

"If we can confirm this, we can uncover the relationship between Chen Kai and Shadow." Su Ming pondered, "We must investigate these companies in depth."

"I will continue to collect more evidence." Lin Yue said, looking at Su Ming with confidence. "What about you? What are your plans?"

"I'll try to find more clues from within Interstellar Technology," Su Ming replied. "Perhaps we can find someone inside the company who knows the inside story."

After several days of lurking, Su Ming found a potential insider within Interstellar Technology: Wang Hao, a mid-level manager at the company. He had been working in the company's finance department and might have some unknown information.

One afternoon, Su Ming deliberately created an opportunity to run into Wang Hao. They met at a small restaurant near the company, and Su Ming took the initiative to greet him: "Wang Hao, right? I'm John, and I've heard of you at the company."

Wang Hao looked a little tired and nodded: "Yes, hello."

"I heard that you work in the company's finance department." Su Ming said tentatively, "I've recently been interested in the company's financial situation."

"What do you do?" Wang Hao asked with a little caution.

"Oh, I'm from an investment company and I'm very interested in Interstellar Technology's projects." Su Ming made up an identity.

Wang Hao relaxed a little and took a sip of coffee. "Interstellar Technology's project is indeed very attractive, but the financial aspects are a bit complicated."

"It's complicated?" Su Ming asked, "Can you tell me more?"

Wang Hao sighed and whispered, "Actually, I don't know the details, but the company's capital flow has been very abnormal recently. Large sums of money have always flowed into some unknown accounts."

“What are these accounts used for? Knowing this could be a breach.

"I don't know either, but I heard these accounts are connected to some foreign companies." Wang Hao whispered, "Since Chen Kai took office, this situation has become more and more frequent."

"Is there anything special about these companies?" Su Ming asked.

"From what I understand, some companies have collaborated with foreign tech giants," Wang Hao replied. "That makes me a little worried."

“Thanks for the information. It’s very helpful to us.”

"I'm just a small clerk. There's nothing I can do about these things." Wang Hao sighed, "But I always feel like something is wrong."

"If you have any new discoveries, you can contact me at any time." Su Ming handed him a business card.

After leaving the restaurant, Su Ming immediately told Lin Yue the information he had just received.

"We need to find out the true purpose of these unknown accounts as soon as possible. We feel a sense of urgency.
