I was a rookie reporter in the 00s

Before the police raid began, Zhang Beichen stood in the command center of the police station, his eyes fixed on the surveillance screen in front of him. The screen displayed a real-time image of the criminal group's base. The figures of Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan were looming in the picture, and the situation was critical.

Zhang Beichen was filled with anxiety and worry. He knew the success of this operation was crucial to the safety of the entire city. He took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, his mind racing through various possible responses.

At that moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared on the surveillance footage. It was a tall, middle-aged man with a stern face, the leader of the criminal group. However, what shocked Zhang Beichen was that standing next to the man was a woman he had never seen before.

The woman had a pretty face, and her eyes were filled with a hint of melancholy, as if hiding endless secrets. Zhang Beichen's heart was shocked, and he felt that the woman's face was extremely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

"Who is this woman?" Zhang Beichen wondered in his heart. He tried hard to search for memories related to this woman in his mind, but he could not remember her identity.

At this moment, Li Wei's voice came from the communication device. "Professor Zhang, we have closely monitored the criminal group's base and are ready to launch a surprise attack at any time."

Zhang Beichen nodded, but he couldn't shake off his suspicions about the woman. "Li Wei, did you notice that woman?" he asked, a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, then said, "Yes, I noticed that too. She seems to have some special relationship with the leader of the criminal group, but we need to investigate further to find out what that relationship is."

Zhang Beichen's heart sank, knowing that this woman's appearance might bring unexpected changes to the entire operation. He quickly adjusted his mood and refocused his attention on directing the operation.

However, the woman's face always lingered in his mind, as if reminding him of something. Zhang Beichen was secretly alert in his heart, he knew that the appearance of this woman was no accident.

As the operation unfolded, Zhang Beichen and Li Wei led the police force in a swift raid on the criminal group's base. Police cars roared through the city streets, lights flashing and sirens blaring, and the entire city felt the tense atmosphere of the operation.

Zhang Beichen sat in the police car, his heart filled with tension and anticipation.

At that moment, a police car suddenly stopped outside the criminal group's base. Zhang Beichen and Li Wei quickly led the police team into the base. Armed with weapons, they vigilantly scanned the surroundings, searching for any trace of the criminal group's members.

In the center of the base, they found a huge conference room. It was empty, save for a large computer, quietly standing in the center. The screen displayed complex codes and data, seemingly concealing the entire secret of the criminal group.

Zhang Beichen's heart moved and he quickly walked towards the computer.

He suddenly found a worn notebook next to the computer. There were a few blurry words on the cover of the notebook, which seemed to have been eroded by time.

Zhang Beichen was startled. He felt that this notebook was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. He carefully picked up the notebook and opened the first page, only to see a dense record of words and data.

"What is this?" Zhang Beichen was secretly puzzled. He tried hard to search his mind for memories related to this notebook, but he could not remember its origin.

He suddenly saw a passage in the notebook: "In the past years, we have experienced countless hardships together and faced countless challenges together. However, fate has pushed us onto different paths and made us enemies."

Zhang Beichen's heart trembled. He felt that this text was extremely familiar, as if it reminded him of something. He tried hard to recall every detail of his past, but he could not connect this text with his memory.

"Whose notebook is this?" Zhang Beichen wondered in his heart. The appearance of this notebook might bring an unexpected turn to the whole case.

As the investigation deepened, Zhang Beichen gradually discovered clues related to his past. He realized that the owner of the notebook was the woman with whom Zhao Tianming had a special relationship.

"Who is she?" Zhang Beichen wondered in his heart. He tried hard to search for memories related to this woman in his mind, but he could not remember her identity.

At this moment, he suddenly recalled an event from many years ago. When he was young, he had a deep relationship with a woman. However, due to various reasons, they eventually parted ways and each took a different path in life.

"Could this woman be her? It's been so long and she has grown old. I couldn't recognize her for a moment." Zhang Beichen was shocked. He realized that the appearance of this woman might bring unexpected changes to the whole case.

He quickly told Li Wei about his discovery, and Li Wei was also shocked. "If this woman is really an old acquaintance of Professor Zhang, then why is she in this criminal group?" Li Wei asked, his tone tinged with confusion.

Zhang Beichen shook his head, his heart filled with doubt. "I don't know either, but I know she must be hiding some unknown secrets."

At this moment, they suddenly received a call from Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan. "We have successfully transmitted the core data of the criminal group back to the police station, but the situation is very dangerous. You must act quickly."

Zhang Beichen and Li Wei's hearts tightened, knowing that the situation had reached its most critical moment. They quickly adjusted their action plan and prepared to launch an immediate surprise attack.

Zhang Beichen could not get rid of his doubts about that woman.

Zhang Beichen and Li Wei led the police team and rushed into the base of the criminal group.

In the center of the base, they found the familiar woman. Although she was old, her face was still pretty, with a hint of melancholy in her eyes, as if she was hiding endless secrets.

"It's you?" Zhang Beichen was secretly puzzled. He didn't know why this woman appeared in the criminal group, nor did he know what her true identity was.

At this moment, the woman suddenly raised her head and stared at Zhang Beichen. A complex emotion flashed in her eyes, as if she was telling endless past events.

"Zhang Beichen, you're finally here." The woman's voice was low and powerful, as if carrying a hint of unspeakable sadness.

Zhang Beichen was shocked.

"Why did you join a criminal gang?" Zhang Beichen asked with a hint of confusion in his tone.

The woman smiled slightly, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes. "Because I must complete a mission, a mission that concerns you."

Zhang Beichen's heart sank again.

At this moment, the leader of the criminal group suddenly appeared in their sight. His eyes were cold and there was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had seen through everything.

"Do you think you can easily destroy our plan? You are too naive." The man's voice was low and powerful, as if carrying an invisible sense of oppression.
