I was a rookie reporter in the 00s

Zhao Tianxing's private club was brightly lit. The door slowly opened, and a uniformed waiter greeted them with a smile. "Welcome, do you have an appointment?"

Zhang Wanqing smiled and handed over her press card. "We are reporters and have an appointment to interview Mr. Zhao Tianxing."

The waiter took the press card, checked it carefully, and then said with a smile: "Okay, please follow me."

Zhang Wanqing and Li Wei, dressed in formal suits, entered the club. Following the waiter, they were amazed by the sight before them. The interior of the club was luxurious and magnificent, yet a tense atmosphere hung in the air. Exquisite paintings adorned the walls, and soft carpets covered the floor.

The waiter led them through a long corridor to a spacious conference room. In the conference room, Zhao Tianxing sat in the main seat, surrounded by a group of bodyguards, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Zhao Tianxing sat in the main seat, surrounded by a group of bodyguards, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Welcome, welcome." Zhao Tianxing stood up and greeted Zhang Wanqing and Li Wei with a smile. "I'm Zhao Tianxing. Which media outlet are you from?"

Zhang Wanqing smiled and handed over her business card. "I'm reporter Zhang Wanqing, and this is my colleague Li Wei. We're very interested in your company and hope to conduct an in-depth interview."

Zhao Tianxing nodded. "Okay, okay. Please sit down. Please sit down. What do you want to ask?"

Zhang Wanqing and Li Wei sat down and began to ask some seemingly insignificant questions, which Zhao Tianxing answered calmly. However, while they were talking, the special police led by the police officer had quietly surrounded the club.

Halfway through the interview, the lights in the club suddenly went out, and the whole room fell into darkness. Zhao Tianxing's face turned pale in an instant, and his bodyguards quickly drew their weapons and protected him in the middle.

"Don't move, police!" The police officer's voice rang out in the darkness, and the special police rushed into the club quickly with weapons in hand.

Zhao Tianxing's bodyguards began to fight back, and the scene suddenly fell into chaos. Zhang Wanqing and Li Wei hid aside, their hearts filled with tension and fear.

At this moment, suddenly, a shrill siren sounded from a distance. The SWAT officers and criminals stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction of the sound.

"Is...is it a police car?" A criminal's voice trembled, his eyes full of fear.

Li Wei and the police officer exchanged glances, both puzzled. They hadn't called for backup, so what did the sudden sirens mean?

At this moment, a special police officer suddenly rushed in, with a look of panic on his face. "Oh no! We are surrounded!"

Li Wei and the police officer felt a sinking feeling in their hearts as they realized that this might be a trap.

"Hurry, chase!" Li Wei shouted loudly, leading the special police to rush into the depths of the basement.

"This is..." Zhang Wanqing's voice trembled, her eyes fixed on the glass container.

"We must notify headquarters immediately. The situation here is much more serious than we thought." The police officer's voice was low and a little anxious.

At this moment, suddenly, the door of the laboratory was knocked open, and a group of people in black uniforms rushed in. They had weapons in their hands and a hint of indifference in their eyes.

"Who are you?" Li Wei shouted loudly, pointing the gun at the newcomers.

"We are..." A man in black just opened his mouth, and suddenly, a shrill siren sounded again, and then a group of real police rushed in.

"Put down your weapons, you are surrounded!" the real police shouted, pointing his gun at the man in black.

The men in black dropped their weapons and were apprehended by the police. Li Wei and the officer exchanged glances, both filled with shock. They realized that this criminal group was far more powerful than they had imagined, and that their actions might have been known to them in advance.

Li Wei's heart was filled with doubts. He walked up to a man in black and asked coldly, "How did you know about our actions?"

The man in black raised his head, a hint of fear in his eyes. "We...we don't know. We just received orders to come here for support."

Li Wei's heart sank. He knew that this answer couldn't explain everything. He turned to look at the police officer and said, "We need to interrogate these people immediately and find the traitor."

The officer nodded. "I agree. We must find out who leaked our plan as soon as possible."

The SWAT officers brought the man in black back to the police station, where Li Wei and the officer immediately began interrogating him. The interrogation room was dimly lit and tense. A man in black was brought in, his hands cuffed behind his back, a look of unease in his eyes.

"Do you know why you are here?" the officer's voice was low and powerful.

The man in black lowered his head and remained silent.

"We know that you are from a criminal group, and your purpose here is to stop us. Now, tell us who leaked our plan." Li Wei said.

The man in black raised his head, a hint of hesitation in his eyes. "I...I really don't know. We just received orders to come here to carry out a mission."

Li Wei and the police officer exchanged glances, feeling a surge of unease. They knew the man in black might not be lying. They had to find other clues to solve this mystery.

After the interrogation, Li Wei and the police officer returned to the office, both with a hint of fatigue on their faces.

"How is it? Any clues?" Zhang Wanqing asked anxiously.

Li Wei shook his head. "This man in black doesn't seem to know the inside story. But we must find other clues to solve this mystery."

At this moment, Fu Siyuan suddenly said, "Wait, I remembered something. When I was in the club, I noticed a detail."

Zhang Wanqing and Li Wei exchanged a glance, both feeling a surge of anticipation. "What details?" Li Wei asked.

Fu Siyuan stood up, walked to the whiteboard, and began to draw. "In the hallway of the club, I noticed a camera. The location of this camera is very strange. It doesn't seem to be monitoring the interior of the club, but facing the outside."
