The man shook his head helplessly. "After I left the organization, their defenses became tighter, and their bases changed frequently. I only know that their general range of activities is around the abandoned factory area on the outskirts of the city. As for the core members, I only heard that a few former backbones are still leading the charge, but I don't know who they are. I'm afraid the time to take action will be soon. Once their preparations are almost complete, they will wait for the opportunity to strike."
Jiang Zhi closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself. She knew that the Jiang Group, at this moment, not only carried the glory and future of the family, but also the livelihoods of countless employees. She must not let this dark force succeed.
"Anyway, we're grateful that you came to tell us this." Jiang Zhi opened his eyes and looked at the man, his hostility lessening. "But you also know that it's hard for us to fully trust you based on just your one-sided statement. If you truly repent, you must fully cooperate with us from now on."
The man nodded quickly. "Of course I am. I am ready. Whatever you two need me to do, I will do it without hesitation. Even if it means risking my life, I will do anything to atone for my sins."
Shen Qingchen stood up, walked to the man, and patted him on the shoulder: "I hope you will do what you say. From now on, you will stay in the group. We will arrange for someone to protect your safety. At the same time, you must tell our people everything you know about that organization without reservation."
The man stood up and bowed slightly. "Thank you both for your trust. I will do my best."
Afterwards, Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen quickly summoned the group's security chief and core think tank members for an emergency crisis response meeting. At the meeting, they detailed the news brought by the mysterious visitor, and for a moment, the conference room was filled with discussion and a solemn atmosphere.
The security director reported solemnly, "Although the group's current security system is advanced, it needs further strengthening in the face of such an organized and premeditated attack. We must immediately increase patrols, install more surveillance equipment around the group, and activate the emergency warning system to ensure a prompt response in the event of any unusual situation."
A senior advisor at the think tank suggested, "From a strategic perspective, we can't just passively defend ourselves; we must be proactive. On the one hand, we can leverage our connections in the business and political circles to gather more intelligence about this force. On the other hand, we can try to set up some bait to lure them out and disrupt their deployment."
Jiang Zhi listened carefully to everyone's suggestions, occasionally lowering her head to write down the key points. She knew that this crisis was coming with great force, and she had to make comprehensive arrangements to ensure that nothing could go wrong. Shen Qingchen added, "We must also inform family members to be vigilant and minimize outdoor activities in the near future. Xiao Rui and Xiao You must be assigned special personnel for protection."
After the meeting, the entire Jiang Group sprang into action. Security personnel, acting as if facing a formidable threat, bustled around the building, installing new surveillance cameras and debugging security equipment. Intelligence personnel, through various channels, quietly launched an in-depth investigation into the mysterious forces. Administrative staff busily communicated with various parties and coordinated resources.
Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen didn't pause for a moment. They personally headed to the abandoned factory area on the outskirts of the city to conduct reconnaissance, trying to find any clues. It was a desolate place, with abandoned factories scattered across the landscape, overgrown with weeds. The dilapidated walls swayed precariously in the wind, as if telling of the vicissitudes of the past.
They carefully shuttled between the various factories, paying attention to every corner. Suddenly, Shen Qingchen found some fresh tire tracks on the ground. He squatted down, observed carefully, and whispered to Jiang Zhi: "It seems that there have been frequent vehicles coming in and out here recently. It is very likely one of their strongholds."
Jiang Zhi looked around with a stern look in his eyes: "We can't alert the enemy. Let's go back first and have the intelligence personnel focus on this place. After we find out their specific situation, we can make plans."
It was already late when they returned to the group. Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen dragged their exhausted bodies into the office. Before they could even sit down, the internal phone rang again. This time it was Xiao Rui calling. His voice was tinged with worry, "Mom and Dad, I heard something happened at the group. Are you all right? Xiao You and I are worried about you."
Jiang Zhi felt warm in her heart and quickly comforted her, "We are fine. Don't worry, you and your sister. Be careful at school. Someone will protect you these few days."
Shen Qingchen took the phone: “Xiao Rui, you are an adult now. You must take good care of your sister at the critical moment. We will take care of it at home.”
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zhi leaned in Shen Qingchen's arms, his eyes full of fatigue and determination: "No matter what, we must protect our family and guard the Jiang Group."
Shen Qingchen hugged her tightly and said softly: “Don’t worry, I’m here, we will definitely get through this difficult time.”
Outside the window, the city lights still shone brightly, and the Jiang Group's building stood proudly in the night. However, a war without smoke has just begun. Jiang Zhi, Shen Qingchen, and the entire Jiang family will face unprecedented challenges. Can they once again turn the tide and crush the conspiracy of this dark force? Everything remains unknown...
