I was a rookie reporter in the 00s

At this moment, Fu Siyuan noticed that the man in black was rubbing a ring with his fingers. His eyes lit up, and he realized that this might be a breakthrough.

"Is this ring important to you?" Fu Siyuan asked softly.

A flash of panic flashed across the black-clad man's eyes, and he quickly hid his hands behind his back. This action confirmed Fu Siyuan's guess that this ring must have a special meaning.

Fu Siyuan continued, "We won't force you to do anything, but we hope you understand that your choice may affect the fate of many people."

"This is your wedding ring, right? Your wife and children are at home, right? Do they know what you do? Do you miss them?" Fu Siyuan asked.

The man in black almost collapsed upon hearing these words. Fu Siyuan pressed the issue, saying, "If the power of the Spirit Pearl falls into the wrong hands, the consequences will be disastrous. The worst-case scenario is the destruction of the world. What will become of your family? They will also perish in this disaster. Don't you want to be reunited with them?"

Faced with Fu Siyuan and Zhang Wanqing's patience and sincerity, the man in black finally gave in. He burst into tears and said, "No... no, I can't do this. I can't let my family get hurt."

The Man in Black begins to tell his story, explaining how he was recruited by the Men in Black organization and their desire for the Spirit Pearl.

"They told me that the spirit pearl can bring a new order to the world, eliminate disasters, wars, hunger, etc., and allow people to live a happy life. It's completely contrary to what you said. I never knew that the spirit pearl would bring destruction to the world. I... I don't want to do anything for them anymore." There was a hint of despair in the voice of the man in black.

Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan exchanged a glance, knowing that this breakthrough might lead to new clues. They thanked the man in black for his honesty and promised to protect him.

"Don't worry, we will protect you and your family. I will contact our teammates now and ask them to pick up your wife and children, and then come to pick you up, and then hide you in a safe place." Fu Siyuan said as he called Li Wei.

The man in black told them that the headquarters of the organization was in a remote place, where there were more secrets about the Lingzhu. He also told them that there was an opposition faction within the organization that was skeptical of the organization's actions.

This information was crucial to Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan. They knew it could be their chance to gain a deeper understanding of the Men in Black organization, or even dismantle it from within.

The night was as dark as ink. Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan stood by the window, their eyes peering through the glass into the darkness outside. Their hearts were filled with tension and anticipation, knowing that this new clue might change everything.

"We must proceed with caution," Zhang Wanqing said in a low but firm voice. "The headquarters of the Men in Black organization must be heavily guarded."

"We need a plan, a plan that will allow us to sneak into the headquarters without being discovered. Then, we can start with the opposition factions within the organization, persuade them to become our allies, and then work together." Fu Siyuan said.

At this time, Li Wei also came. He had hidden the man in black and his family in a relative's house in the suburbs. After settling them down, he hurried back.

They began discussing possible plans, from disguising themselves as delivery men to sneaking around at night. Each option was carefully considered, every detail scrutinized.

After several hours of discussion, they finally decided to sneak into the headquarters of the Men in Black organization late at night. They chose a moonless night so that they could use the darkness as cover.

Fu Siyuan was responsible for preparing the necessary equipment, including night vision goggles, silent shoes, and some basic tools. Zhang Wanqing was responsible for studying the layout of the headquarters, looking for possible entrances and escape routes. Li Wei and Fu Siyuan were responsible for infiltration.

They knew that this operation was fraught with danger, but they also knew that it was their only chance to obtain more information.

Late at night, Fu Siyuan and Li Wei put on black nightgowns, their bodies almost invisible in the darkness. They left the house carefully and walked through the streets like ghosts.

They avoided the main streets, choosing secluded alleys to avoid being caught by surveillance cameras. Their footsteps were light and quick, making almost no sound.

As they approached the Men in Black headquarters, their movements became more cautious, observing their surroundings for possible guards and surveillance equipment.

The headquarters of the Men in Black was an abandoned factory on the edge of the city. Ivy covered the factory's exterior walls, its windows were broken, and it looked like it had been abandoned for years. But Fu Siyuan and Li Wei knew it was just a cover.

They circled the factory, searching for a possible entrance. Eventually, they found a small, hidden door with a rusty lock. From a distance, the lock appeared locked, but closer inspection revealed it was merely hanging, not locked.

Fu Siyuan carefully unlocked the door, and they gently pushed it open and slipped into the factory. The factory was completely dark, with only the occasional sound of dripping water breaking the silence. The factory looked completely abandoned, with no sign of anyone inside.

They put on night vision goggles and began exploring the factory. They found a staircase leading to the basement. The staircase was piled with discarded items, so if you weren't paying attention, you wouldn't have noticed it was a staircase. They went down the stairs and saw a heavy iron door at the end.

Fu Siyuan and Li Wei stood in front of the iron gate, their hearts beating rapidly in their chests. They knew that the secrets of the Men in Black organization might be hidden behind this door.

An alarm was mounted on the iron gate, flashing red like a vigilant eye. They had to destroy the alarm without sounding it. Once it was triggered, the entire Men in Black organization would be alerted, and their operation would be thwarted.

"We must cut off the alarm's power supply and signal transmission lines at the same time, and not let it make any sound." Fu Siyuan's voice was low, his eyes fixed on the alarm, as if looking for a way to crack it.

His eyes flickered back and forth between the iron gate and the alarm, searching for a possible solution.

Fu Siyuan took a deep breath and pulled out a seemingly ordinary black box from his backpack. This box was the result of his years of research, a high-tech weapon that combined electromagnetic interference, signal blocking, and sound suppression.

He carefully opened the box, revealing a complex array of buttons and displays. His fingers slid lightly across the buttons, activating the device. Lines of code popped up on the display, indicating the alarm's signal frequency and power supply circuit.

"Hey, buddy, I didn't expect that you, a cultured person, still have these things! You must have done a lot of bad things!" Li Wei teased.

"Hey! What time is it, and you still have time to talk nonsense?" Fu Siyuan said.

"Wouldn't this ease the tense atmosphere?" Li Wei laughed again.

"Okay, I need you to help me distract myself. I will try to access the alarm control system." Fu Siyuan said to Li Wei, his voice calm but revealing a hint of nervousness.

Li Wei pulled out a small crossbow from her waist, a silent weapon she had prepared for this operation. She quietly moved to the other side of the iron gate, ready to create some disturbance.

Fu Siyuan's eyes were focused on the alarm again, his fingers moving rapidly on the buttons of the black box. He was trying to crack the alarm's password and cut off its power supply and signal transmission lines at the same time.

At this moment, Li Wei pulled the trigger of his crossbow, and a silenced arrow shot out silently, hitting a surveillance camera not far away. The camera instantly became dark, and the surrounding men in black immediately became alert.

Fine beads of sweat oozed from Fu Siyuan's forehead, and his fingers moved faster on the black box. He had to successfully cut off the alarm before the man in black noticed anything unusual.

Fu Siyuan took out his high-tech weapons and carefully opened the iron door. They found a huge basement. In the center of the basement stood a huge machine, surrounded by some busy men in black.

They quickly hid in the shadows and observed the actions of the man in black. They found that this machine seemed to be used to control the power of the spirit pearl.

Access to information

Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan knew they had to get information about the machine as soon as possible. They began looking for possible information and documents while trying to avoid attracting the attention of the men in black.

Next to a computer, they found a folder filled with blueprints and operating manuals for the machine. They quickly took photos of the documents and prepared to go back and study them carefully.

Emergency evacuation

Just as they were about to leave, the alarm in the basement suddenly sounded, and a group of men in black rushed in, their eyes full of murderous intent.

Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan quickly hid behind the machine, using its complex structure as cover. They carefully avoided the search of the men in black and looked for opportunities to escape.

After a tense chase, they finally found a vent, quickly crawled into the ventilation duct, and escaped from the basement.

Return safely

When Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan returned to Fu Siyuan's home, it was almost dawn. Their clothes were covered with dust and sweat, but their eyes were shining with excitement.

They knew that they had just obtained important information about the Men in Black organization, which might help them expose the Men in Black's conspiracy and protect the Lingzhu.
