Chapter 661 Completely Exposed

Zhang Richeng's actions were undoubtedly a stab in Zhang Ce's heart.

"That means, where did this traitor come from? We're all good comrades. Today is a celebration banquet, so we can't just say things like that."

When Zhang Richeng heard their words, his heart pounded, and for a moment it felt like it was about to jump out of his throat.

A bad feeling crept over him, and even his forehead was slightly sweaty.

He was now filled with only one thought: why did he even come back? Why didn't he just run away?

Now that things have come to this, he can only feign composure and hope that he can still get away with it.

After all, I was so discreet and cautious, I shouldn't have left any evidence, right?

Besides... what if they're just bluffing? Now is not the time to panic.

Upon hearing Zhang Richeng's words, Chen Feng and Qi Minglin both burst out laughing.

"Actually, we both suspected there was a mole long ago. The matter of the compensation last time was clearly leaked by someone."

"But at that time, the two of us suppressed the matter, for fear of alerting the enemy."

"To be fair, even if you guys here are big mouths, I've told you repeatedly not to leak this information. Even if you're stupid, you should know what you should and shouldn't say."

"Even so, it still leaked. Aren't you surprised at all?"

Chen Feng lit a cigarette, leaned back in his chair, and slowly began to speak.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, realizing what Chen Feng meant after his reminder.

Something is definitely not right about this; it's not something that can be explained by a big mouth.

"But just based on that, we can't conclude that there's a traitor, can we?" someone asked, somewhat incredulously.

“Indeed not, so at that time, we began to keep a close eye on your every move.”

"Unfortunately, the traitor was well hidden, and we didn't see any flaws."

"When I arrived in Kari, I discovered this super-large rare earth mine. At that moment, I knew that catching the traitor was urgent and could not wait any longer."

"So after discussing it with Qi Minglin, we put on a show, and only the two of us knew about it. No one else knew, just to prevent it from being leaked." Chen Feng took a deep drag on his cigarette and flicked off the ash.

Upon hearing this, Li Chunlai sat there awkwardly, realizing that even they were on guard against him.

Li Chunlai was embarrassed, but Li Guanghao was even more embarrassed. How could the founder of the exploration team be so untrustworthy?

But despite his complaints, he could completely understand them.

After all, judging from Zhang Ce's expression, even he was unaware of the situation, so he felt at peace with it.

"So you guys have been putting on an act all this time?"

"My God, all my efforts to persuade him were in vain."

Upon hearing this, someone covered their face and spoke up.

“I know that the mole won’t easily give himself away; he needs a little stimulation. So Qi Minglin deliberately told you how much this mine is, and at the same time revealed the security strategy to someone.”

"The purpose was to make him lower his guard and lose his composure."

"But in reality, all the security measures are just for show. Right now, Kashi has mobilized the entire province's resources. Any information sent within 100 meters of each of you will be intercepted by special personnel."

"And let alone information, not even a fly can fly out of Kazhi now."

"Unexpectedly, just half an hour ago, the National Security Bureau intercepted a message sent overseas."

The message read: "Rare earth elements have been discovered in China. This is a serious matter. We request permission to return home."

"Zhang Richeng, you have no patience at all," Chen Feng said, looking at Zhang Richeng who was trying his best to hide his true feelings.

"What? Brother Zhang!"

"No way, you must have made a mistake. How could Brother Zhang do such a thing!"

"There's definitely something wrong. Brother Zhang works harder than anyone else, it can't be like this!"

Upon hearing this, some people immediately began to defend Zhang Richeng, as they couldn't believe the answer from the bottom of their hearts.

"How could it be me? You've got it wrong, Chen Feng. I know you have a grudge against me, but let's keep business and personal matters separate. Don't joke like that."

Zhang Richeng spoke with a somewhat serious expression, clearly indicating that he was a little angry.

"Even now, you're still putting on an act. Is that really meaningful?"

"You should have a spare phone on you, right? Take it out," Chen Feng said with a disdainful smile as he stubbed out his cigarette.

"I have a spare phone, but it doesn't even have a SIM card. I'm doing this in case my phone breaks down while I'm exploring in the field."

"Look around if you want," Zhang Richeng said generously, taking his phone out of his pocket and tossing it on the table.

Qi Minglin reached out and the phone was handed to her. She took it, fiddled with it a couple of times, and shook her head.

"My phone has been formatted."

"It's a brand new phone, never been used before," Zhang Richeng said, shrugging with a helpless expression.

"Boss, please say something. You were the one who called me back to China, and it was only after I argued strongly that the super-large rare earth mine in Kari was discovered."

"Speaking of traitors, which traitor would help the country like this?" Zhang Richeng said angrily, his face full of incomprehension.

“You do want to come to Kari, but there’s absolutely no plan for this place in any of your plans. You’ve been setting up your plans for somewhere else.”

"Zhang Richeng, don't think I haven't seen your plan. If it goes according to your plan, the country will probably waste hundreds of billions of yuan in Kari." Chen Feng leaned down slightly, his voice icy.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Richeng's heart skipped a beat again, and he was completely shocked!

He never expected that Chen Feng, who always looked down on him, would actually have secretly read through his entire Kazhi Plan!

He never mentioned this before!

Chen Feng is far more cunning than he imagined!

"No one can guarantee that there is a mine under the stake. We are all probing. If what you say is true, then why haven't we found any mines all this time? Are we all traitors?"

"Chen Feng, I know you have made contributions to mineral exploration, but you can't use that to slander our character."

“We may not be as strong as you, but each of us has a patriotic heart!” Zhang Richeng bit his lip slightly, clearly looking indignant.

"At a time like this, you're still spouting patriotic sentiments to me? You're really something."

"Is the technician ready? Just show us the evidence, let's see what he can say then." Chen Feng was too lazy to waste words with him and looked at Qi Minglin.

"It's all set up, come in," Qi Minglin said into her phone.

Then two men in military uniforms walked in, carrying a laptop with a walking route and a circle that kept expanding outwards.
