In the dimly lit, oppressive atmosphere of the secret base, the core member of the mysterious organization, captured by Jiang Zhi and his companions, wore a look of resignation and fear, his body firmly bound to a chair, unable to move. Jiang Zhi stood before him, her eyes firm and piercing, as if piercing his soul. Her allies, scattered around, watched the surroundings warily, weapons tightly grasped, ready to respond to any emergency.
"Tell me, what's going on with this mysterious organization of yours?" Jiang Zhi's voice was low and cold, with unquestionable majesty.
The core member snorted coldly and tried to remain silent, but Jiang Zhi wouldn't let him go so easily. She narrowed her eyes slightly, took a step forward, approached the core member, and said, "Do you think you can get away with not talking? Since we can capture you, we can also find a way to make you talk."
As she spoke, Jiang Zhi pulled a sharp dagger from her waist, which gleamed coldly in the light. She gently toyed with the dagger and said slowly, "You should know that I'm not a soft-hearted person. If you cooperate, perhaps you'll suffer less. If you continue to resist, I don't mind letting you taste the power of this dagger."
A trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the core members, but they still pretended to be calm and said, "Don't even think about getting anything from me."
Jiang Zhi sneered and suddenly attacked. The tip of the dagger gently touched the core member's cheek, scratching the skin a little, and a trace of blood oozed out. "Are you sure?" she asked softly.
Under Jiang Zhi's coercion, the core member's psychological defenses began to waver. He knew that the woman in front of him would not give up easily, and he was also afraid of suffering more pain. "Okay, I say." He finally compromised.
The core members took a deep breath and began to explain the mysterious organization. "Our organization, called the 'Shadow Society,' has been established for a long time. The organizational structure is very complex, divided into multiple levels. At the top is the leader, and under the leader are several core leaders, each responsible for different tasks, such as intelligence gathering, assassinations, and financial operations."
"Then what is your core plan? Why do you want to get involved in the affairs of Shen Qingchen's father and Tang Junxi's family?" Jiang Zhi asked.
"Our core plan... is to control the entire Jianglingchuan business empire. Shen Qingchen's father and Tang Junxi's family are both stumbling blocks to our plan. They have a strong influence in the business world and are unwilling to cooperate with us, so we must get rid of them." The core member said slowly.
"Then what role did Jiang Lingchuan play in this?" Jiang Zhi asked with a frown.
"Jiang Lingchuan...he's one of our pawns out there. On the surface, he's a successful businessman, but in reality, he's been working for our organization. He uses his identity and connections to gather intelligence for us, create chaos, and help us eradicate those disobedient forces."
Jiang Zhi and his allies were secretly shocked as they listened to the core members' explanation. They had not expected the conspiracy of this mysterious organization to be so large, involving so many people and things.
"Then how did you frame Shen Qingchen's father and Tang Junxi's family?" Jiang Zhi continued to ask.
The core member hesitated, glanced at Jiang Zhi, and then said, "We'll start by dismantling their family business from within. By bribing the people around them, we'll obtain confidential company information, and then use this information to attack them commercially. At the same time, we'll also create some false impressions to get them into legal trouble. Jiang Lingchuan played a key role in this process. He used his connections to put pressure on the judiciary and the media, leaving them with nowhere to escape."
"Then what about the extermination of Tang Junxi's family?" Jiang Zhi's voice trembled a little, and sparks of anger flashed in his eyes.
The core members lowered their heads, not daring to look Jiang Zhi in the eye. "That was our organization's assassination. We sent our most elite assassins to sneak into the Tang Junxi family's mansion under cover of night and kill them all. Our goal was to completely eliminate this threat and serve as a warning to other disobedient families."
Jiang Zhi clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms. She suppressed the grief and anger in her heart and said, "What about Shen Qingchen's father? How did he die?"
"Chen Qingchen's father... We tampered with his car and created a seemingly accidental car accident. But in fact, all of this was carefully planned by us." The voices of the core members became lower and lower, as if they also realized the gravity of their sins.
Tears welled up in Jiang Zhi's eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall. She knew that now was not the time to be sad. She had to get more information from this core member and avenge her relatives.
"Then what other hidden forces and strongholds does your organization have?" Jiang Zhi asked.
The core member raised his head, glanced at Jiang Zhi, and then said, "We have secret bases in every corner of the city. Some are used to hide personnel and weapons, and some are used for intelligence transactions. Our influence is spread throughout Jianglingchuan, and we even have branches in other areas. But the specific locations are only known to a few core leaders."
"Then where does your organization's funding come from?" asked one of Jiang Zhi's allies who was good at collecting business intelligence.
"Our funding comes from a wide range of sources. Part of it is obtained through illegal business activities, such as smuggling, drug trafficking, and money laundering; the other part is obtained by controlling some companies and extracting from their profits. We will also accept funding from some external forces, as long as their goals are consistent with ours." The core member replied.
