Lin Wenbo was stunned for a moment. In his opinion, this evidence was irrefutable and enough to send that adulterous couple to their deaths.
Su Tang's expression was unusually calm as she pushed the black leather notebook in front of Lin Wenbo.
"Uncle, take a look at this."
Lin Wenbo, filled with doubt, opened the seemingly ordinary black notebook.
The notebook's pages were yellowed and covered with dense writing, including Chinese characters and some tadpole-like characters that he couldn't understand.
He frowned and continued reading.
"Su Family Business Distribution Map... Shanghai Textile Factory Internal Production Data... Jiangnan Shipyard Recent Plans..."
Lin Wenbo initially thought that Su Dongcheng was greedy and insatiable, even recording these things.
But when he saw the words written in Japanese with a simple Chinese annotation next to them, "The future of the empire rests on this moment," his pupils suddenly contracted!
Japanese?!
Although he wasn't an intelligence specialist, he still had basic sensitivity!
He continued scrolling down, his heart pounding with fear, and his hands trembling more and more as he read!
The notebook contained detailed records of how Su Dongcheng used the Su family's connections in the business world to gradually infiltrate the periphery of China's economy, industry, and even some military projects.
He collected a large amount of seemingly scattered intelligence, but which, when put together, was extremely crucial.
Some pages even include simplified maps of the factory layout, marking key warehouses and production workshops!
There are also some names followed by words such as "developable", "under control", and "regular contact".
This is hardly a record of corruption!
This is clearly a spy's activity manual! Evidence of a traitor's crimes!
"This...this is..."
Lin Wenbo felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head, making his whole body feel icy cold.
He suddenly looked up at Su Tang, his voice trembling slightly: "Tang Tang, where did you get this notebook?!"
The color drained from his face instantly, his lips trembled, and his hand holding the notebook shook like a leaf in the autumn wind.
This is no longer a simple criminal case!
This is treason! This is espionage! This is collusion with the enemy!
Any one of those words would be enough to kill Su Dongcheng ten thousand times over!
That's enough to stir up a huge storm!
Su Tang calmly replied, "I followed them to that small villa in the suburbs, sneaked inside to search, and accidentally found it in a hidden compartment."
She recounted the process casually, as if she had only done a trivial thing.
Lin Wenbo was terrified.
Infiltrate Su Dongcheng's secret base?
This girl is incredibly bold!
If discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable!
But he's more concerned about the notebook now.
"Su Dongcheng... he, he's a Japanese spy?!"
Lin Wenbo's voice was hoarse; he could hardly believe his own judgment.
Su Dongcheng, a cousin of the Su family, a businessman who usually appears quite respectable, is actually a Japanese spy who has been lurking in the shadows for many years?!
