Chapter 241 The Hidden Traitor
Zhang Wanqing sat in her newspaper office, her eyes glued to the files on her computer screen. They documented the criminal schemes orchestrated by "Ghost" and the vast criminal organization behind him. Her heartbeat quickened involuntarily, and a sense of foreboding crept into her.
"Wanqing, you look nervous." Fu Siyuan's voice came from behind, interrupting her thoughts. Zhang Wanqing looked back at him and forced a smile. "I was just wondering what the criminal organization behind 'Ghost' is like. What is their real purpose?"
Fu Siyuan walked over to her, looked at the document on the screen, frowned, and said, "This criminal organization is large in scale and involves multiple fields, including finance, technology, and politics. Their goal seems to be to control some important resource, but we don't know what it is yet."
At this moment, Li Wei pushed open the door and walked in, a trace of fatigue on his face: "I just went to meet an informant, and he told me something interesting. This criminal organization seems to have an internal traitor, and this traitor may be someone we know."
Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan exchanged a glance, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes. Li Wei continued, "Our informant said this traitor has been providing information about our activities to criminal organizations, helping them evade our pursuit. Furthermore, this traitor's identity is extremely secretive, making it difficult for us to detect."
"How is this possible?" Zhang Wanqing's voice trembled. "We have been working together and trust each other. Who could be the traitor?"
A trace of contemplation appeared on Fu Siyuan's face. "We must be careful. This traitor may be right next to us. We must find him as soon as possible, otherwise our actions may be put in greater danger."
The three began to recall their recent actions, trying to find possible clues. Zhang Wanqing suddenly remembered a detail: "I remember when we were investigating 'Ghost', we received an anonymous email. The content of the email was very mysterious, and the email was sent at a time when we were busiest. Could it be from that traitor?"
Fu Siyuan nodded: "That's possible. We need to check the source of the email and see if we can find some clues."
Li Wei raised a key question: "But how do we determine who the traitor is? We can't easily suspect each other, otherwise it will undermine our teamwork."
Zhang Wanqing thought for a moment and said, "We can set a trap and let the traitor reveal himself. We can pretend to have found an important clue to the criminal organization and then see who will leak this information to the criminal organization."
Fu Siyuan and Li Wei both nodded, thinking that this plan was feasible. The three began to plan how to implement this plan, while also silently praying in their hearts that the traitor was not any of them.
Three days later, Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei arrived at a remote warehouse. The warehouse, filled with old furniture and miscellaneous items, looked unremarkable. The three of them entered the warehouse and began setting traps.
"We have to make this trap look real enough to lure out the traitor," Fu Siyuan said. He picked up a piece of paper and began writing some false clues on it. Zhang Wanqing installed a small camera in the corner of the warehouse to observe who would come to check these clues.
Li Wei was in charge of keeping watch outside, pretending that they had found an important clue to the criminal organization, and that the clue was hidden in this warehouse. He deliberately mentioned this news to some acquaintances, hoping to attract the attention of the traitor.
A few days later, the warehouse's security camera finally captured a figure. The figure was wearing a hat that covered his face, but Zhang Wanqing recognized him at a glance - it was their colleague, Wang Kai.
Wang Kai walked into the warehouse, looked around, and finally found the note left by Fu Siyuan. He picked up the note, read the contents carefully, and then quickly left the warehouse.
"It's him!" Zhang Wanqing's voice was a little excited. "Wang Kai is the traitor!"
Fu Siyuan and Li Wei also took action immediately and rushed to Wang Kai's office. Wang Kai saw them and a look of panic appeared on his face: "Why are you here?"
Zhang Wanqing asked directly, "Wang Kai, why did you betray us? What benefits did you gain from the criminal organization?"
Wang Kai's face turned pale. He lowered his head and was silent for a while. Finally, he sighed: "I... I was also forced. They threatened me that if I didn't do what they asked, my family would be in danger."
Fu Siyuan and Li Wei exchanged glances, each seeing sympathy in the other's eyes. Li Wei said, "Wang Kai, do you realize how much danger your actions have brought to us? Do you know that your betrayal could potentially harm even more innocent people?"
"Their real goal is to control a new energy technology that could change the world's energy landscape," Zhao Ming said. "They plan to achieve this through a series of assassinations and sabotage operations at next month's International Energy Summit."
Wang Kai raised his head, his eyes filled with regret. "I know I was wrong. I'm willing to cooperate with you and tell you everything I know."
The three took Wang Kai back to the newspaper office and began to ask him in detail about everything he knew. Wang Kai told about the process of being threatened by the criminal organization and the plans of the criminal organization he knew.
"Their true goal is to control a new energy technology that could change the world's energy landscape," Wang Kai said. "They plan to achieve this through a series of assassinations and sabotage operations at next month's International Energy Summit."
Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei exchanged a glance, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes. They realized that the severity of this case far exceeded their imagination.
Time is running out, and Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei must stop the criminal organization's plan before the International Energy Summit. They quickly formulate a detailed action plan to destroy the criminal organization at the summit.
The day before the summit, the three arrived at the venue, a luxurious international conference center. Dressed in casual clothes, they blended in with the attendees and began searching for members of the criminal organization.
"We have to be careful. Members of the criminal organization may be right next to us." Fu Siyuan whispered, "We have to remain vigilant at all times."
Zhang Wanqing nodded, her eyes scanning the crowd, trying to find any suspicious signs. Just then, she saw a familiar figure - it was "Ghost".
The "ghost" was wearing sunglasses and a black suit, blending into the crowd. Zhang Wanqing immediately signaled Fu Siyuan and Li Wei, and the three of them quickly approached the "ghost."
The "ghost" seemed to have noticed their movements and suddenly quickened his pace, heading towards the back door of the conference center. The three of them followed closely behind him and finally intercepted him in the corridor outside the back door.
Ghost turned to face them, a sneer on his face. "Do you really think you can stop me? My plan has already begun, and it's too late for you."
