Jiang Zhi and her allies were in a hidden basement, where the dim light flickered, as if it would go out at any moment, plunging them back into endless darkness. The map hanging on the wall was already covered in dense markings and lines, the result of their painstaking exploration over the past period of time.
Jiang Zhi held her daughter in her arms, her eyes weary yet resolute. She gently patted her daughter's back, and the little one smacked her lips occasionally in her sleep, seemingly in a sweet dream, oblivious to the tense atmosphere around them. Her son lay quietly in his cradle beside her, his hands clenched tightly into fists, as if trying to encourage himself.
The allies gathered around the worn wooden table, each face etched with solemn anticipation. Among them was a man named Lin Xiao, whose family was once renowned in the business world. However, Jiang Lingchuan's scheme had led to the collapse of his family business, and his family members were separated. He clutched the documents in his hand and spoke first, "Based on what we know so far, this mysterious organization's financial resources are extremely complex. They appear to be involved in underground smuggling, illegal financial transactions, and other shady businesses." He pushed a stack of documents to the center of the table.
Jiang Zhi frowned slightly, put his daughter down, walked to the table, picked up the documents, and carefully read them. The documents detailed some suspicious transaction records and account information, many of which pointed to the behind-the-scenes operations of some well-known companies. Another ally, Su Yao, a woman skilled in intelligence gathering, pointed to one of the accounts with a sharp eye and said, "I've been tracking this account for a long time. It ostensibly belongs to an ordinary trading company, but in fact it has financial transactions with multiple international criminal groups. Moreover, Jiang Lingchuan seems to be behind this trading company."
A chill flashed across Jiang Zhi's eyes. She recalled Jiang Lingchuan's actions towards her, and the flames of hatred in her heart flared up once again. But she knew she couldn't let her emotions get the better of her. She took a deep breath and said, "Then let's start with this trading company and see if we can follow the clues and find the core base of this mysterious organization."
Everyone nodded. At this moment, Zhao Feng, who had been quietly studying the mysterious organization's personnel structure, looked up. He was once a brilliant detective, framed for exposing the dark sides of some powerful individuals. Later, he was rescued by Jiang Zhi and joined the investigation team. He pushed his glasses and said, "From a personnel perspective, this mysterious organization has an extremely strict hierarchy. They have a team of assassins dedicated to carrying out assassinations. These assassins are well-trained and proficient in various weapons and combat techniques. They also have a group of intelligence operatives skilled in disguise and infiltration, able to quietly infiltrate various levels of society and obtain the information they seek."
Jiang Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "Then we have to be careful to guard against their intelligence personnel. Maybe they have spies around us." After he finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but feel nervous and looked around subconsciously.
In the days that followed, Jiang Zhi and her allies began an intense investigation. Disguised, they infiltrated various venues, attempting to gain access to individuals associated with the trading company. Leveraging her medical skills, Jiang Zhi met the wife of the trading company's owner at a charity event. Disguised as a dedicated volunteer doctor, she patiently answered her various health questions, gradually earning her trust.
Through his wife's social circle, Jiang Zhi learns that the trading company is about to host a large business dinner, which will be attended by many important figures, including a key figure from the mysterious organization. This news excites Jiang Zhi and his allies, and they carefully plan how to obtain more clues at the dinner.
On the evening of the banquet, Jiang Zhi, dressed in an elegant black evening gown, entered the banquet hall arm in arm with Lin Xiao, as a wealthy couple. The hall was resplendent with gold and jade, crystal chandeliers gleaming brightly, and people dressed in gorgeous attire chatted and laughed to the sound of music. But Jiang Zhi knew that beneath this seemingly peaceful surface lay countless dangers and conspiracies.
They moved through the hall, chatting and socializing with various people while keeping an eye on the surroundings. Suddenly, Jiang Zhi spotted a familiar figure—Jiang Lingchuan. He was conversing quietly with a mysterious middle-aged man in a corner, his expression serious. Jiang Zhi's mind struck. She gestured to Lin Xiao to distract the others while she quietly approached, attempting to eavesdrop on their conversation.
"That woman has been investigating us more and more closely recently. We must find a way to get rid of her." Jiang Lingchuan's voice reached Jiang Zhi's ears. Her heart tightened, but she remained calm.
"Don't worry, there may be something we need at this dinner. It won't be too late to deal with her after things are done." said the middle-aged man.
Just as Jiang Zhi was about to inquire further, Jiang Lingchuan seemed to notice something and suddenly turned to look at her. Jiang Zhi quickly turned around and pretended to admire the paintings on the wall with Lin Xiao. Jiang Lingchuan frowned and left the corner with the middle-aged man.
Jiang Zhi knew she had to act quickly. She and Lin Xiao searched throughout the dinner until they finally spotted some suspicious traces near the door to a secret room. Lin Xiao used his lock-picking skills to successfully unlock the door. The room was filled with documents and materials, and Jiang Zhi and Lin Xiao quickly began to browse through them as if they had found a treasure.
They uncover a crucial plan by a mysterious organization: to exploit an impending financial crisis, manipulate the stock market, plunder vast sums of wealth, and further expand their sphere of influence. This plan involves many high-ranking figures in both the political and business worlds, and if carried out, the consequences could be disastrous.
Just as they were about to leave with the documents, the door to the secret room suddenly closed. Jiang Zhi was startled, knowing they had fallen for a trap. At this moment, a cold laugh echoed from the secret room: "Do you think you can take our things so easily?"
