He looked at everyone and said, "I have decided to organize a team immediately to conduct a secret investigation of the key locations he provided. We will know whether it is true or not once we investigate."
"I'll go!" Chen Yao stepped forward without hesitation. "I have experience in tracking and stealth, and I also want to see with my own eyes whether this traitor Yu is telling the truth." There was a firm light flashing in her eyes, which showed her persistence in seeking the truth and her unconditional support for Mou Xuan.
Mou Xuan looked at her and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He knew Chen Yao's determination and believed in her ability.
He nodded. "Okay. You will lead an elite team, plus two intelligence analysts. Be sure to act carefully and put safety first. Remember, your mission is only to verify the intelligence. Don't alert the enemy."
"Understood!" Chen Yao nodded vigorously. She quickly selected the team members, all of whom were elites in the alliance and were good at stealth, reconnaissance and electronic warfare.
In the next few days, the atmosphere in the alliance was extremely tense.
On the one hand, they had to digest the huge amount of intelligence obtained from the enemy's lair and the traitor Yu. On the other hand, everyone was on tenterhooks, waiting for the verification results that Shen Yao's team would bring back.
The traitor was temporarily detained, but his treatment was better than before, at least he had clean food and water.
He seemed very cooperative, answered every question, and told me everything he knew.
Lu Siming and others softened their attitude towards him, thinking that he might really have turned over a new leaf.
But Zhou Bohai remained vigilant, believing that this was a deeper conspiracy of the enemy.
Finally, at dusk on the third day, Chen Yao's team rushed back exhausted.
Although they were tired, there was a hint of excitement between their brows.
"Brother Xuan! The intelligence... is true!" Chen Yao's voice trembled slightly with excitement. "We separately verified the three locations provided by the traitor Yu. The first is the base where their senior leaders secretly met. We observed people who matched the description coming in and out. The second is one of their small genetic modification laboratories. Although the defense was tight and we couldn't go deep into it, the various signs outside were exactly the same as the intelligence description. The third... is a secret material warehouse. We even filmed them transporting controlled weapons!"
Following Chen Yao's report and the display of video footage, the atmosphere in the conference room changed completely.
Zhou Bohai, who had been skeptical before, fell silent at this moment.
Facts speak louder than words. The information provided by the traitor is not only true, but also priceless!
This means that the threat posed by the terrorist force hiding behind the scenes is more specific and imminent than they imagined.
It also means that Yu the traitor, the former traitor, really seems to have brought the key to redemption.
In the face of ironclad facts, opinions within the alliance on whether to accept the traitor began to converge rapidly.
Mou Xuan looked at the report in his hand and took a deep breath.
He stood up and looked around at everyone. "The information provided by the traitor has been verified to be accurate. This has bought us precious time and opportunities. No matter how serious his past crimes were, at this critical moment of the alliance's life and death, we must acknowledge his credit."
He paused, and his voice became more powerful: "I have decided to temporarily release the traitor from captivity and place him under close surveillance. He will serve as a special advisor to assist us in formulating targeted defense plans. Of course, if he makes any unusual moves, he will be killed without mercy!"
This decision is undoubtedly bold.
But Mou Xuan's prestige and the urgency of the current situation made most people choose to support him.
Even Zhou Bohai just kept a sullen face and did not raise any strong objections.
He understood that now was not the time to engage in internal friction.
"Chen Yao, you and your team performed well in this operation, you are the first to be credited." Mou Xuan turned to Chen Yao with praise in his eyes, "Next, you will be responsible for 24-hour monitoring of the traitors, and you must not relax at all."
"Yes! I guarantee to complete the task!" Chen Yao stood at attention and saluted, her eyes bright.
She felt extremely proud to be able to share Mou Xuan's worries and contribute to the alliance.
The alliance's war machine began to operate at high speed because of this sudden and accurate intelligence.
Under the unified command of Mou Xuan, all departments were carrying out pre-war preparations in a tense and orderly manner.
The reinforcement of fortifications, the deployment of personnel, the storage of supplies, the formulation of combat plans... everything is progressing closely and rapidly.
Yu the traitor did indeed do his best. Based on his understanding of that mysterious force, he made many valuable suggestions and filled in many blind spots in the alliance's intelligence.
Seeing how busy and focused he was, many people even began to believe that he had really turned over a new leaf.
However, just as the entire alliance was united in preparing for the coming storm, an unexpected change occurred.
Early that morning, Chen Yao, who was in charge of monitoring the traitor Yu, went to change shifts as usual, but found that the traitor Yu, who was supposed to be in the temporary residence, was nowhere to be seen!
The room was empty except for a neatly folded quilt, as if the owner had only left temporarily.
"Where are the people?!" Chen Yao's heart sank and she asked sternly.
The two team members in charge of night watch turned pale and stammered, "Report to Captain Shen... We... We have been guarding the door and have never left. We have never seen him come out! Moreover... there is no record of the electronic door lock being opened!"
The traitor just disappeared out of thin air under the close surveillance of dozens of eyes!
The news swept through the entire alliance base like a hurricane, and the morale that had just been built up suffered a severe blow in an instant.
Shock, confusion, anger, fear...all kinds of emotions spread among the crowd.
Why did he run away?
Was everything that happened before just a self-torture tactic?
Is the information he provided true or false?
If the information is true, what does his disappearance at this moment mean?
Was he silenced by the enemy?
Or is he himself a more deadly bait thrown by the enemy, who will quietly retreat after completing his mission?
Countless questions swirled in everyone's mind, causing the entire alliance to once again fall into chaos and suspicion.
Mou Xuan stood in the middle of the empty room, his face ashen, his clenched fists making a clattering sound.
He knew that a bigger storm might have just begun.
