Chapter 322 Infiltrating Haitian Group

The next morning, Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei changed into casual clothes and disguised themselves as ordinary tourists before arriving at the Haitian International Tourism Group office building. Located in the heart of Sanya, the building looked glamorous, but Zhang Wanqing knew it concealed countless sinister secrets.

"We have to find their employee list first." Fu Siyuan whispered, "Maybe we can find a clue from it."

"I'll be in charge of finding out," Zhang Wanqing said. "You guys stay outside to meet them."

"Be careful." Fu Siyuan and Li Wei nodded and walked to the two sides of the building respectively.

Zhang Wanqing walked into the building, pretending to look around, and came to the front desk. The lady at the front desk looked very young and was busy answering the phone.

"Hello, I'm here to inquire about travel packages." Zhang Wanqing said with a smile.

"Welcome." The receptionist raised her head and smiled professionally. "What information do you need?"

"I want to know about the person in charge of your company." Zhang Wanqing said deliberately, "I heard that your person in charge is very powerful."

"You mean Mr. Li Hua?" the receptionist said. "He's the founder of our company, but he rarely shows up."

"Oh, that's such a pity." Zhang Wanqing pretended to be regretful. "I wanted to thank him in person for providing such great service to us tourists."

"Mr. Li Hua is very low-key," the receptionist said. "However, if you want to thank him, you can write a thank-you letter and we will pass it on to him."

"That's great," Zhang Wanqing said. "By the way, does your company have any employee activities? I'd like to learn more about your corporate culture."

"We have an employee training event next week," the receptionist said. "Mr. Li Hua might be in attendance."

"Really?" Zhang Wanqing was delighted. "That's great! I must participate."

"However, this requires an invitation from an internal employee," said the receptionist.

"It's okay, I'll find a way." Zhang Wanqing smiled and turned to leave.

Zhang Wanqing walked out of the building and found Fu Siyuan and Li Wei waiting for her not far away.

"How is it?" Fu Siyuan asked.

"They have an employee training event next week, and Li Hua might be in attendance," Zhang Wanqing said. "We have to find a way to get in."

"That won't be easy." Li Wei frowned. "They will definitely have strict security measures."

"We can disguise ourselves as internal employees," Fu Siyuan said. "As long as we get the employee ID, we can get in."

"I have an idea," Zhang Wanqing said. "We can start with their employees and find someone who is willing to help us."

"How to find it?" Li Wei asked.

"Remember the victims we investigated earlier?" Zhang Wanqing asked. "Some of them must have known someone at Haitian International."

"Yes!" Fu Siyuan's eyes lit up, "We can start with the victims."

The three of them quickly took action and began contacting the victims they had previously investigated. After some effort, they finally found a victim named Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen had worked for Haitian International for a while, but resigned because he could not stand the company's fraudulent behavior.

"I really didn't expect them to be so ruthless," Xiao Chen said on the phone. "You must be careful. There are powerful forces behind them."

"We just want to get to the bottom of this," Zhang Wanqing said. "Can you help us sneak into next week's employee training?"

"I can try." Xiao Chen hesitated, "But you have to be careful, they have a lot of eyes."

"We'll keep an eye on it," Zhang Wanqing said. "Thank you, Xiao Chen."

"Also, don't betray me and don't say that I brought you in. Then you will be able to meet Li Hua in person, and he will personally train the employees." Xiao Chen reminded.

"Don't worry, we will be careful and won't betray you." Zhang Wanqing said.

A week later, Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei arrived at the Haitian International Tourism Group's training event as planned. Xiao Chen had given them their employee IDs in advance, and the three of them slipped in smoothly.

At the event, employees sat in groups of two or three, creating a somewhat subdued atmosphere. Zhang Wanqing noticed that the venue was surrounded by cameras and security personnel were patrolling the area.

"We have to be careful." Fu Siyuan whispered, "There are surveillance cameras everywhere here."

"I know." Zhang Wanqing nodded. "Let's find a place to sit down first."

The three of them found a seat in the back, trying not to attract attention. The training session soon began. A man in a suit walked onto the stage. Zhang Wanqing immediately recognized him; it was Li Hua.

"Welcome everyone to today's training," Li Hua said in a deep yet powerful voice. "We at Haitian International have always been committed to providing the best service for our tourists. I hope you will continue to work hard."

Zhang Wanqing stared at Li Hua, thinking to herself, "He finally showed up."

Li Hua stood on the stage, delivering a passionate speech. His words were particularly inspiring, and he was particularly adept at "brainwashing" people. The employees sitting in the audience were all moved by his words, showing expressions of approval and applauding from time to time.

Halfway through the training session, Li Hua suddenly stopped and glanced at the audience. Zhang Wanqing felt uneasy, realizing that Li Hua might have noticed their presence.

"Today, we have a special session," Li Hua suddenly said. "I'd like to invite a few colleagues to share their work experiences."

Zhang Wanqing's heart sank suddenly as she realized that Li Hua might have seen through their disguise.

"You two go up first." Li Hua pointed at Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan and said, "I believe you have a lot of experience to share."

Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan exchanged a glance, realizing there was no way back. They slowly stood up and walked toward the stage.

"You're not employees of our company, are you?" Li Hua sneered. "Who are you?"

"Mr. Li, we are new employees, so you don't know us yet." Zhang Wanqing said.

"You're too naive. You've fallen into my trap." Li Hua laughed heartily. "Do you think you're so smart?"

At this moment, the door of the conference hall was suddenly pushed open, and a group of men in black rushed in and quickly subdued Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan and Li Wei.

"You knew it a long time ago?" Zhang Wanqing asked strugglingly.

"Of course." Li Hua stepped forward and leaned close to Zhang Wanqing's face. "From the moment you stepped into this building, I knew your purpose."

"Why are you doing this?" Fu Siyuan asked.

"Because we can't let you reveal the truth." Li Hua sneered, "Our business has just started, and you want to destroy everything."

"Who is behind you?" Zhang Wanqing asked loudly.

"You don't deserve to know." Li Hua turned and left. "Take them away and get rid of them."
