Spy Wars: Strong Agents Who Are Ruthless and Talk Little

Lin Yue slowed down her pace, turned around and looked at Su Ming, her tone becoming serious. "I'm sorry, I have to interrupt you. I just received news that someone has started investigating your background. The situation is very dangerous. I had to make up this excuse of an emergency to get you out."

Su Ming's face darkened when he heard this. He had already sensed that the situation was not good, but he had not expected it to be so urgent. "Who is investigating me? Do you know what?"

Lin Yue nodded, his expression becoming more serious. "When I was investigating the company's top management, I accidentally discovered that they seemed to have doubts about you. Li Zhiming, in particular, has been in frequent contact with some external personnel recently. One of them has a military background. This person may be conducting a comprehensive background check on you."

Su Ming's heart seemed to be suddenly tightened, but he quickly calmed down, "It seems that I have been exposed. Your intervention this time saved my life."

Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief, but still said worriedly, "You must be more careful. Li Zhiming has obviously begun to doubt you. He gave you those documents as a trap to see how you would react."

"I know." His brow furrowed. "I will be more cautious, but we can't back down. While that document might be a test, it might not be completely worthless. I have to find a way to analyze it."

"What are you going to do?" Lin Yue asked, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

Su Ming was silent for a moment, then said firmly, "I will continue with my plan, but I must be more cautious. You should also be aware that your investigation may have attracted their attention." He gave a helpless smile, "I never intended to give up easily. Now it seems that we can only overcome this crisis by working more closely together."

The two then discussed specific steps, deciding on a more covert approach to their investigation. Su Ming would maintain his identity as "Zhang Chen," while Lin Yue would use her journalistic credentials to gather information from outside sources, while posing as a casual friend to prevent further suspicion. Su Ming carefully executed each step of his plan, remaining more discreet within the company. He no longer proactively addressed the core project details, instead focusing more on peripheral investment issues. This strategy did indeed slightly lower Li Zhiming's vigilance, but Su Ming knew the danger remained.

Lin Yue, through her channels, obtained more information about the Equator organization, which confirmed their suspicions: Hengrui Group's new project was indeed related to military technology and even involved certain international black market transactions. These discoveries made Su Ming and Lin Yue realize that the opponent they faced was far more complex and dangerous than they had imagined.

One night, Su Ming and Lin Yue met again in a secluded cafe to discuss the latest developments. Lin Yue handed Su Ming a document, a hint of uneasiness on her face.

"I just got some information. This document shows that Hengrui Group recently signed a secret agreement with an overseas military-industrial enterprise. This agreement involves the transfer of a large amount of funds, and it is obviously not just for research and development." Lin Yue whispered.

Su Ming flipped through the documents, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter. "It seems our speculation is correct. They are using this project to cover up a larger conspiracy, perhaps even conducting some kind of illegal transaction."

"But we don't have enough evidence yet." Lin Yue reminded, his eyes full of worry, "If we act rashly, we will face great risks. We must find

In one investigation,

At night, the city lights still twinkled, but Su Ming's mood was more complex than the desolate night. He sat in his humble apartment, his fingers tapping lightly on the table, his mind replaying the day's discoveries. A new clue suddenly appeared in his investigation, like a rope that suddenly appeared, pulling him towards an even more mysterious abyss.

This clue was discovered by chance. Su Ming was routinely reviewing some internal company emails, trying to find any clues related to the "Equator" organization. Just as he was beginning to feel lost, an email marked "deleted" caught his attention. The timing of this email was ingenious: it was sent on the eve of a major company meeting.

The content of the email was simple, almost unremarkable; it was just a standard reminder. But the sender's name made Su Ming's heart beat faster. It was a name he had never heard of before within the company: Zheng Tian.

"Who is Zheng Tian?" Su Ming quickly searched for the name in his mind, trying to find any relevant clues in his memory. However, the name was completely unfamiliar to him, as if it had suddenly appeared from a crack in the stone.

Su Ming didn't act immediately. He knew that at such a sensitive moment, any unnecessary action would alert the other party. He decided to tell Lin Yue about his discovery first, perhaps her investigation could provide more context for this clue.

A few days later, Su Ming and Lin Yue met at a small, unassuming restaurant. Lin Yue looked as capable as ever, but a hint of fatigue etched her features. Clearly, the recent investigation had put her under increasing pressure.

"Su Ming, have you made any new discoveries recently?" Lin Yue asked as he looked through the menu, with a hint of anticipation in his voice.

"Yes, but this time the clue is a bit strange." Su Ming put down the cup in his hand and said in a low voice, "I found a deleted email within the company. The sender's name is Zheng Tian, ​​but I have never heard of this name within the company."

Lin Yue frowned slightly. It was obvious that she had never heard of this name before. "Zheng Tian? Could it be a pseudonym?"

"Very likely." "But in any case, it is definitely not a coincidence that this name suddenly appeared at a critical moment."

Lin Yue thought for a moment and asked, "What about the content of the email? Did it mention any important information?"

"The content is very ordinary, just like an email reminding a meeting." Su Ming gave a wry smile. "That's exactly what makes me wonder. If it was really an ordinary meeting notice, why would it be deleted immediately after being sent?" Apparently agreeing with Su Ming's suspicion, "Who do you think this Zheng Tian might be?"

"I'm not sure yet." Su Ming sighed, "But I have a guess. Perhaps he is a key figure who is secretly controlling everything. This name may be their code name or disguised identity."
