Lin Dong didn't know if Lai Changsheng would heed his advice.

Everything that needed to be said has been said; everyone has the freedom to choose.

If he chooses to collude with the Mo family, then Lin Dong wouldn't mind sending him on his way earlier, without waiting for the Yuanxia case to come to light a few years later.

If Lai Changsheng were smart enough, he should know how to weigh the pros and cons and make the right choice.

............................................

The next morning, Lin Dong went to the park for his morning exercise as usual.

Before they could even begin warming up, Ling Qianyi called:

"Hey, Boss Lin, where are you? I need to talk to you."

"I'm doing my morning exercise in the park, are you coming to the hotel?"

"No, the hotel is too crowded and noisy... Here's what we'll do: my car will be at the park's main entrance in half an hour, and we can talk in the car."

"good."

......

Due to time constraints, Lin Dong could only run around the artificial lake twice before exiting the park.

Soon, Ling Qianyi's black Hongqi car slowly drove up.

Lin Dong bought two breakfasts and got into the car. He immediately noticed Ling Qianyi's messy hair in the driver's seat.

With his stubble and unshaven face, it was clear that this guy hadn't had a good night's sleep in two or three days.

"Old Yi, look at you, all disheveled. Have you solved the case yet?" Lin Dong clicked his tongue in disdain.

"It's not that easy! This is a Class A major espionage case personally overseen by the Ministry of National Defense..."

Ling Qianyi said with a worried look on his face.

Lin's unwavering loyalty made him almost completely let down his guard and discipline.

"Then what do you want from me? It's only been three days, can't you find a single clue?" Lin Dong scoffed.

"We have clues. It seems there's a spy within our ranks, and the person who did it had a very clear target."

“They knew from the beginning where they would find what they wanted.”

Ling Qianyi said to himself:

"The buyer has been preliminarily identified as an American, and is highly likely connected to the CIA..."

"The biggest question now is whether the stolen top-secret documents have been smuggled out of the country?"

"Sigh... If they've already been deported, that would be a huge problem!"

......

The car was filled with Deputy Director Ling's lingering sorrow.

Lin Dong didn't say anything more, listening attentively while enjoying a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe).

"Hey, boss, are you even listening to me?" Ling Qianyi complained with a bitter face.

"It's delicious. Lao Yi, do you want some? I bought it for you," Lin Dong said, smacking his lips.

"I don't want to eat, I have no appetite."

"No, as the saying goes, food is the foundation of life. No matter how busy you are, you still need to eat your fill."

"Right now, all I want to do is solve the case as soon as possible, and then get a good night's sleep."

"Solve the case? If you only focus on the people directly responsible for the leak, you're wasting your time."

Lin Dong chuckled as he finished eating the jianbing guozi in his hand.

"Boss Lin, what do you mean by that?" Ling Qianyi asked anxiously, leaning closer to him.

Lin Dong pushed him away with a look of disgust and handed him another jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) that was placed next to the windshield:

"You eat first, then I'll tell you."

Without saying a word, Ling Qianyi took it and started eating.

He quickly devoured a large portion of jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe)...

"Hey, how can you taste anything when you eat like that?" Lin Dong shook his head.

"Uh... as long as I'm full, that's fine." Ling Qianyi burped.

"Old Yi, do you know why jianbing guozi is so delicious?" Lin Dong sighed and then asked.

"There are a lot of things inside."

"No, it's about the layers of flavor. A delicious jianbing guozi has a different layer of flavor with every bite."

"What...what does this have to do with the case?"

"Don't understand, huh? Heh... You've found the person directly responsible for the espionage case, but what's the result?"

"We found them, but they were silenced." Ling Qianyi suddenly became somewhat dejected.

"So, you couldn't bite through the first layer? Hehe..." Lin Dong laughed.

“We also want to investigate further, but the mastermind is very well hidden. According to my guess, this person’s status must not be low.”

"No matter how high your status is, if you cross the red line, you will not have a good ending."

"What Boss Lin said makes sense, but there are too few clues, and it will be difficult to find anything useful in a short time."

Lin Dong smiled slightly, shook his head, and said:

"Not necessarily. The time is almost ripe; it's time to close the net."

"I'll stop pretending and give you a direction: Mo Junyang of the Mo family, Jingyu Club."

"If we're quick enough, we might be able to catch one or two big fish..."

What?

The Mo family, Mo Junyang?

This matter is actually related to the Mo family?

Ling Qianyi was stunned, staring unblinkingly at Lin Dong:

"Lin... Boss Lin, you're not kidding, are you?"

"Do I look like I'm joking?" Lin Dong rolled his eyes.

"Doesn't look like it!"

"That's right. I told you, the turning point in bringing down the Mo family came when the National Security Bureau received a shocking case."

Lin Dong crossed his arms and continued to explain:

"Now that a major case has occurred, if this case was committed by a core member of the Mo family, do you think it's possible to completely bring down the Mo family?"

Ling Qianyi swallowed hard, his brain rapidly processing this astonishing news.
