"I've arranged for a group of people to be divided into several teams to take turns monitoring Qingyaxuan 24/7."
Lin Yang responded, "That's feasible."
After several days and nights of observation, they learned some information about the teahouse.
Every morning, the teahouse welcomes a group of regular customers, mostly local businessmen.
On the surface, they came to drink tea and chat, but some of them had intricate connections with Japanese forces.
The teahouse was relatively quiet in the afternoon, with only a few waiters cleaning.
At night, especially late at night, some mysterious figures would enter the teahouse.
This business situation is very strange, Lin Yang told Shi Xiao his thoughts.
"These people looked hurried and acted cautiously, which likely indicates that they were conducting a secret intelligence exchange."
"Definitely! Let's make our move tonight! I can't wait to wipe out these Japanese bastards!"
Upon hearing Lin Yang's thoughts, Shi Xiao said excitedly.
"Don't rush. Tonight, we'll send someone to infiltrate the teahouse and see if we can find out anything about Takahashi and the Japanese group's conspiracy."
They evaded the patrolling security guards and used a large tree in the backyard of the teahouse to climb over into the teahouse.
A member of the Rock Gang noticed that everyone else was hiding well, but his boss always managed to expose a sliver of his body.
"Big brother, hide better!"
"I'm well hidden."
Shi Xiao felt somewhat aggrieved, blaming himself for making himself too big, which made it very difficult to completely hide.
The group carefully explored the teahouse, trying not to make a sound.
Soon, in a hidden room in the basement, a member of the Rock Gang discovered some important documents.
"Here is a document that records the cooperation plans between the Japanese conglomerate and many gangs."
"Take a look at this!"
Lin Yang took the document, which surprisingly contained a plan by a Japanese conglomerate to establish a secret base in China.
"They also planned to use secret bases to store weapons and supplies for future large-scale operations."
"These guys are really ambitious!"
Lin Yang put away the documents and prepared to leave when he suddenly heard a commotion outside.
It turned out that the teahouse security guards had noticed something amiss and were searching around.
"Oh no, we've been spotted! Everyone be careful!"
Everyone immediately drew their weapons, held their breath, and prepared to respond to any changes in the situation.
A group of security guards quickly rushed into the basement.
"We've been exposed! Everyone, charge out!" Seeing that they had been exposed, the crowd stopped hiding and rushed out together.
Lin Yang and the members of the Rock Gang are all highly skilled.
Lin Yang pulled out the silver needles, and the person who was hit quickly collapsed.
"Don't get entangled with them, find a chance to leave as soon as possible!" Shi Xiao quickly ordered his men when he saw the situation was not good.
Soon, everyone left Qingyaxuan.
"These are some documents we found. Please check them when you get back to the company."
"I will prioritize the company's inquiry."
Ding Na took the evidence that Lin Yang and his team brought back to the company for processing.
She discovered a mysterious string of code in the file and quickly shared this discovery with Lin Yang.
"This is good news. Thank you for your hard work."
Lin Yang praised Ding Na, but he still needed to keep track of the situation with the gang.
After receiving an urgent phone call, Shi Xiao shared the latest news with Lin Yang.
"My trusted confidant, whom I had assigned to continue investigating spies within the gang, has mysteriously disappeared! Only a strange Japanese mark was left at the scene."
Lin Yang quickly realized that something was unusual about this matter.
"This is very likely retaliation by Japanese forces."
"Our operation has most likely been detected by the enemy!"
Shi Xiao slammed his fist on the table, making the teacups on it jump.
"These despicable Japanese dare to be so arrogant! I cannot swallow this insult; I must bring them to justice!"
"If we act rashly, we will only fall into their trap. We might as well turn the tables on them."
"Play along? Tell me quickly, how should we do it?"
Seeing that Shi Xiao's anger had subsided somewhat, Lin Yang explained methodically.
“We spread false information, saying that we had given up investigating the matter, so that the Japanese forces would lower their guard.”
But in reality, they need to intensify their efforts to explore Qingyaxuan even further.
"Do as you say! I want to see what other tricks these Japanese can pull!"
Shi Xiao immediately arranged for his men to spread the news of abandoning the investigation both inside and outside the gang.
Because the subsequent investigation could not be made public, the investigation did not proceed smoothly.
Meanwhile, a mysterious person claiming to know Takahashi's secret suddenly contacted Lin Yang.
"Do you have time? I have the information you need."
"If you're interested, come to Qingyaxuan tomorrow. Come by yourself, otherwise I won't see you."
"This person dared to directly arrange to meet at Qingya Pavilion, which clearly indicates their ulterior motives. It's definitely a trap, and we absolutely must not go!"
Ding Na added from the side.
"This is too dangerous. It's not safe for you to go by yourself."
Lin Yang was aware of the risks involved, but the investigation had reached a stalemate and there was no other way.
"Our investigation is currently at a standstill, and if we don't keep the appointment, we might miss this rare opportunity."
“I have a chip in my body. If I encounter danger, Ding Na can come to save me quickly. It’s worth a try.”
Seeing that Lin Yang was determined to go and take a look, Shi Xiao and Ding Na stopped trying to stop him, but gave him some advice.
"If you encounter danger, send a signal immediately and we will come to rescue you."
He arrived at Qingyaxuan alone at the agreed time.
After observing the surroundings and confirming that there was nothing unusual, they headed towards the private room designated by the mysterious person.
As soon as the door to the private room opened, a fragrant aroma wafted out.
Lin Yang stood at the door, cautiously sniffed the incense, and only after confirming that it was just ordinary incense did he slowly enter the private room.
A mysterious person wearing a hat and mask, completely covering their face, was sitting at the table.
The mysterious man saw Lin Yang, gestured for him to sit down, and spoke using a voice changer.
"You've got some guts to come."
The mysterious man reached out and poured Lin Yang a cup of tea.
"Please sit down and have a cup of tea."
Lin Yang glanced indifferently at the tea in front of him, and, worried about being drugged, refused it outright.
"Thank you, I'm not thirsty."
The mysterious man didn't press the matter and began to speak on his own.
"You've been investigating Takahashi, but you don't know that there's an even more mysterious big shot behind him controlling everything."
"This important figure has deep ties with the Japanese conglomerate and wields considerable power."
“Your continued investigation into Takahashi is actually useless and will only cause you a lot of trouble.”
"Many people in those gangs were never good people to begin with, and they wouldn't have done anything good even without Japan."
