I was a rookie reporter in the 00s

Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan stood at the edge of the cliff, the salty sea breeze whipping their hair and clothes fiercely. Behind them was the surging sea, and before them were the pursuers of the "Shadow Ink" organization. They knew that this struggle had reached a critical moment, and they had to make a decision.

Zhang Wanqing clutched the ancient scroll tightly, feeling the power within it pulse through her palm. Her heartbeat quickened, but her gaze remained resolute, without a trace of fear. Fu Siyuan stood beside her, clutching the USB drive containing all the evidence they had gathered.

"We can't let them get this evidence." Zhang Wanqing's voice was firm and powerful.

Fu Siyuan nodded, his eyes sharp and his determination flickering in them. "No matter what happens, we must protect this evidence."

Their eyes swept over the pursuers of the Shadow Ink Organization, and they could see the greed and coldness in their eyes. These pursuers were obviously not going to let them go, and they had to make a choice.

Just then, a small boat emerged from the waves, holding a familiar figure. It was Li Wei, the detective once ostracized for refusing to participate in corrupt activities. He had collaborated with Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan to uncover the chemical plant pollution scandal. Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan had never seen Li Wei again.

"Hurry up and get on board!" Li Wei's voice echoed in the sea breeze. His eyes were sharp, and his voice was firm and powerful.

Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan didn't hesitate; they quickly jumped into the boat. The boat was tossed by the waves, but they held on tightly to the side, steadying themselves. Li Wei steered the boat away from the cliff edge, leaving the "Shadow Ink" organization's pursuers behind.

The sea breeze was howling, the waves were surging, the boat was shuttling through the waves, and Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan's hearts were also rising and falling with the waves.

"Li Wei, why did you suddenly appear there?" Zhang Wanqing asked.

"Who am I? I am the great detective Li Wei. Is there anything I don't know? Ever since you announced the black market group's trafficking of cultural relics on the Internet, I have noticed you and have been following you privately. I am also investigating this matter." Li Wei said.

"What? You already knew that we were the ones who posted the matter online?" Zhang Wanqing asked.

"Of course, apart from you two, who else has such courage? Haha, you are the bottom lane of the Divine Condor!" Li Wei said with a smile.

"The... The Return of the Condor Heroes? Ah? Li Wei, don't talk nonsense. Fu Siyuan and I are just... just colleagues." Zhang Wanqing said, blushing and lowering her head.

"By the way, Li Wei, I haven't heard from you since we last investigated the chemical plant. Where have you been?" Fu Siyuan asked.

"As for me, I quit my job. It was so frustrating working for those bastards! I'm a free man now. You can also say that I'm a private detective. I like to stand up for the weak and meddle in other people's business." Li Wei said.

"This is not meddling in other people's business, you are doing justice!" Fu Siyuan gave Li Wei an approving look.

"Okay, friends, let's not reminisce about the past. From now on, the three of us are the iron triangle!" Li Wei raised his hand and wanted to high-five them. Seeing this, Fu Siyuan quickly high-fived him, and Zhang Wanqing followed suit.

"Li Wei, you are like a hero from Liangshan. You roar when you see injustice and take action when it is time to do so." Zhang Wanqing said jokingly.

"Then I must be Lin Chong, haha!" Li Wei is really a cheerful person.

Without further ado, on the small boat, the iron triangle of Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan and Li Wei began to formulate their new plan.

"We need to find a safe place to organize the evidence." There was a hint of fatigue in Zhang Wanqing's voice, but her eyes remained firm.

Fu Siyuan nodded, his eyes wandering over the sea. "We can go to a friend of mine. He has a safe hiding place."

"Let's go to my house, no one can find us! It's a remote town with kind and friendly people. We can safely organize evidence there and prepare to expose the crimes of the Shadow Ink organization." Li Wei said.

After several hours of sailing, the boat finally arrived at the town's dock. Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan cautiously stepped ashore, carefully observing their surroundings to ensure they were not being followed by the Shadow Ink organization's pursuers.

The scenery of the town was peaceful and beautiful. The sun shone on the ancient streets, giving the town a golden halo. As they walked along the streets, feeling the tranquility and harmony of the town, their hearts gradually calmed down.

Along the way, whenever he met people from the small town, they all greeted Li Wei with a smile.

They arrived at Li Wei's home, a small wooden cabin nestled on the edge of town. Surrounded by lush trees, it felt exceptionally secluded and safe. His home was a large, two-story structure, but it lacked any luxurious decor.

"Don't worry, it's safe here. Besides, I'm here to help you. No, the three of us are already comrades in the same trench! Haha!" Li Wei has a good personality. He is optimistic, open-minded, brave and upright.

Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan nodded gratefully, knowing that they had found a temporary safe haven.

Inside the cabin, Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan began to sort through the evidence they had gathered. They carefully studied the information on the scrolls and USB drive, ensuring every detail was correct.

Zhang Wanqing's fingers slid lightly across the scroll, and she could feel the power within it pulsating through her fingertips. Her eyes were fixed on every symbol on the scroll, her heart filled with curiosity about the Mohist secrets and anger towards the Shadow Ink organization.

Fu Siyuan was busy at his computer, compiling the information from the USB drive into a detailed report. His fingers pounded across the keyboard, his eyes glued to the screen, his heart filled with a pursuit of truth and a commitment to justice.

Li Wei also joined in, helping to organize the information and analyzing the "case" at the same time.

Late at night, Li Wei cooked a pot of steaming noodles for everyone. Although it only contained vegetables, tofu and garlic sprouts, everyone enjoyed it very much.

"Tomorrow morning, I'll take you to town for a big meal. Only when you're full will you have the energy to work!" Li Wei said.

"By the way, Wanqing, do you want to drink? I'll get us a few more bottles of wine." Li Wei asked Zhang Wanqing.

"Wine? Oh, I drink beer, white wine, and rice wine." Zhang Wanqing replied.

"Hey, the girl is pretty good. She can even drink? Then let's have a drink together tomorrow! Hahaha!" Li Wei's laughter echoed in the cabin.
