I was a rookie reporter in the 00s

With the arrest of the Shadow Priest leader, the city returned to its surface calm, but Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan and Li Wei knew that the battle was far from over. Behind the Shadow Priest, there was a bigger conspiracy involving an international criminal organization, and they had to seek international cooperation to fight crime together.

In the police station's conference room, Zhang Wanqing stood before a large electronic screen displaying a complex array of data and charts. Her gaze was firm and sharp, and her fingers slid lightly across the screen, analyzing the Shadow Priest's financial flows and communication records.

"These data show that the Shadow Priests are just the tip of the iceberg," Zhang Wanqing said with a hint of worry in her voice. "There's a larger organization behind them manipulating them."

"I found some encrypted communication records," Fu Siyuan said with a hint of nervousness in his voice, "These records point to an international criminal organization called 'Shadow'."

"We must take action," Li Wei's voice was deep and powerful. "We can't let the 'Shadow' do whatever it wants in our city."

Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei began an in-depth investigation. They first interviewed former members of the Shadow Priests, hoping to gain more information about the Shadow. In the police interrogation room, these former members' eyes revealed fear and anxiety.

"We were just small-time players," a former member said in a trembling voice. "We knew nothing and just followed orders."

Zhang Wanqing frowned, knowing it wouldn't be easy to get useful information from these people. She began asking them in detail about their daily lives and their interactions with the 'Shadow', hoping to find some clues.

Fu Siyuan used his technical expertise to track the network activities of "Shadow". He found that "Shadow" has activities all over the world and is involved in a variety of criminal activities such as drug smuggling, arms trafficking and human trafficking.

Li Wei led his elite team to inspect the city's ports and borders, hoping to find traces of the "Shadow". They found some suspicious cargo in the containers at the port, which contained a large amount of drugs and weapons.

As the investigation deepened, Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei realized that they needed international cooperation to combat the "Shadow." They contacted Interpol, hoping to gain their support and assistance.

Interpol representatives arrived in the city and held an emergency meeting with Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei, where they shared their intelligence and resources and developed a global strike plan.

"We must act quickly," said the Interpol representative. "The Shadow's power is spreading across the globe, and we must stop them."

With the support of Interpol, Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei officially launched their global crackdown. After several days of intense preparation, they finally located a major base of the Shadow organization in South America, located in the small country of Alta. Known for its dense rainforests and complex terrain, this country is an ideal hiding place for dark forces.

In the conference room before their departure, Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei sat around a large table, a detailed map before them, marking their targets and possible risk points. Zhang Wanqing's finger gently traced the map, her gaze firm. "According to our intelligence, the Shadow organization's base in Alta is hidden in an abandoned coffee plantation, surrounded by heavy security."

Fu Siyuan nodded, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "I've learned from the communication records of the men in black that they will be conducting an important transaction next Monday, which may involve a large amount of drugs and weapons. We must sneak into the base before the transaction and obtain more evidence."

Li Wei was analyzing the situation carefully. "We need to develop a detailed plan to ensure that every step is foolproof. Alta's terrain is complex, and we must be fully prepared to ensure our safety."

A few days later, the three boarded an Interpol-arranged flight to Alta, South America. As the plane soared through the blue sky, Zhang Wanqing gazed out the window at the sea of ​​clouds, her heart filled with anticipation and nervousness. She knew this operation hinged not only on their own safety but also on the future of the entire city.

"Once we arrive at Alta, the first thing we need to do is survey the terrain," Li Wei's voice echoed in the cabin. "We need to understand the surroundings of the base and find the best infiltration route."

Fu Siyuan was checking his laptop, which displayed a topographic map and satellite imagery of Alta. His fingers slid rapidly across the touchpad, searching for possible entrances and ambush points.

"According to satellite imagery, there's a path on the east side of the base that leads to the rear wall," Fu Siyuan said. "We can use this path as a sneak route."

The plane landed at Alta's airport, and the three quickly packed their bags and walked out. The tropical air was humid and hot, and the sunlight filtered through the leaves, shining on them, as if reminding them of the challenges they were about to face.

They rented an SUV and drove toward the base. Outside the car window lay a dense tropical rainforest, towering trees reaching into the sky. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows. Zhang Wanqing's heart was filled with anxiety and anticipation. She knew the road ahead would be filled with unknown dangers.

"We must remain vigilant," Li Wei's voice rang out from inside the car. "Once we approach the base, we must act with caution to ensure we are not discovered."

After a bumpy ride, they finally arrived near the base. The three of them got out of the car and began to follow the path Fu Siyuan had pointed out. The surroundings were quiet and mysterious, broken only by the occasional chirping of birds.

They carefully made their way through the bushes, trying to avoid making any noise. As they approached the base, Zhang Wanqing's heartbeat quickened. She could sense the tension in the air.

"We're here," Fu Siyuan whispered, pointing to the wall ahead. "We can climb over from here."

Li Wei and Zhang Wanqing nodded, and the three of them moved quickly, climbed over the wall and entered the interior of the base.

Upon entering the base, they discovered a stark contrast to the outside world. The interior was extremely complex, surrounded by tall buildings and a heavy security presence. Zhang Wanqing felt a surge of unease; she knew the Black Organization's defenses were not to be underestimated.

"We must find the place where the transaction took place," Li Wei whispered, "This will be the key to our obtaining evidence."

They walked cautiously through the corridors of the base, trying to avoid eye contact with the guards. Fu Siyuan used his technology to monitor the communications of the men in black, trying to find the specific time and place of the transaction.

"I've locked onto a suspicious communication signal," Fu Siyuan said with a hint of excitement in his voice. "They seem to be preparing for an important transaction, targeting some illegal cultural relics and weapons."

Just as they were about to investigate further, the leader of the men in black suddenly appeared before them. A mad glint flashed in his eyes, and a sneer curled his lips. "Do you think you can stop us like this?"

A sense of urgency surged in the hearts of Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan and Li Wei. They knew that the leader of the men in black would never let them go easily.

"We must retreat immediately," Li Wei whispered, "their target is us."
