Chapter 191

These tricks are actually not that rare.

The real bosses all know the ins and outs of it.

But this is a game among the bosses, and no one would voluntarily expose it.

What really astonished Chen Shanhe was the detailed description in the documents and photos sent by the Abyss Organization, detailing every step of his operation, every key person involved, and even the contents of some crucial conversations during key periods!

This…

This is definitely not something that outsiders could obtain!

It must be someone close to him, and it had to be someone who had followed him for a long time and held a high position!

As for Chen Kainan?

His chairman position was just a front. What he knew might not even be as much as a senior employee in the Hive knows.

This could well be…

An internal loose end!

A traitor!

Chen Shanhe took a deep breath and then looked at the four people on the screen, saying gravely, “Let’s hear it, your opinions.”

At that moment, the expressions on the four peoples’ faces were all ugly.

After all, if it involved a mole, these four team leaders would be the first to be suspected.

The head of the Dragon Group was named Qiu Pengchi, a man in his fifties who was quite stout and potbellied, appearing greasy and, if lost in a crowd, would look just like any other prosperous middle-aged man, nothing imposing about him.

However, only those who understood this man knew that he actually led a very disciplined life, including his dietary habits, almost not eating meat.

The reason he maintained such a body shape was simply to add a layer of confusion; the more ordinary he appeared, the more convenient it was when carrying out certain activities.

The truly ruthless people never advertise their ruthlessness on their faces!

Qiu Pengchi was so, and Chen Shanhe even more so!

Qiu Pengchi was the first to speak, “Elder Chen, I suggest a thorough investigation of the Hive, especially some of the employees who have left.”

“I suggest starting with me.”

Chen Shanhe did not get angry but said calmly, “Trust those you use, don’t use those you doubt. I didn’t call you here today to point fingers.”

“The Hive’s self-examination will be taken care of by someone I’ll arrange, you don’t need to worry about that. What you need to do now is to quickly investigate and figure out what exactly the enemy wants to do.”

“Pu Yuanbai, what are your thoughts?”

In Chen Shanhe’s eyes, Pu Yuanbai was the smartest among the four, speaking and acting with proper measure, and could be considered the second most important person in the Hive System after Chen Shanhe himself.

“My thoughts?…”

He nodded, analyzing, “The Abyss Organization has abducted Mr. Chen for over 60 days now, and during this time, they must have learned some things from Mr. Chen’s mouth and also conducted a comprehensive investigation, gaining a lot of intelligence about us.”

“Now, after making their preparations, they have launched an offensive against us; however, the first thing they are asking us to do is to refund those unfortunate property owners.”

“This is not a normal request, and clearly not their true objective. I suspect this is them flexing their muscles.”

Flexing their muscles?

Before anyone could ask, Pu Yuanbai continued, “Perhaps, the Abyss Organization simply wants to let us know they have a lot of information on us, so much that it’s beyond our imagination. An organization of this capability must be of no small scale.”

“They are in the shadows; we are in the light.”

“While we don’t have to fear them, Elder Chen, I suggest you still proceed with their demands and see if they release Mr. Chen. If they release him, we can make further decisions.”

“I even think… the emergence of the Abyss Organization may not entirely be a bad thing for us. We could use it as a whetstone. We haven’t had adversaries for a long time; joints could get stiff without them.”

At this point,

Wang Xun, who was mainly responsible for technology, said, “Elder Chen, we have already hacked into Sea Maple Hotel and retrieved intelligence; there are a total of 8 high-ranking individuals who checked in today. One of them is a wealthy businessman from WW Province named Mo Wen, who had been to the fishing ground and then went to the hotel.”

“Moreover, through the hack of the surveillance system, we found that shortly after you ended your call, Mo Wen had already left by car. The license plate has been traced through investigation and confirmed as a Volkswagen sedan from Shenzhou Car Rental.”

“We are currently pinpointing the location of the vehicle and looking into more background information on Mo Wen.”

A wealthy businessman from WW Province?

Mo Wen?

Chen Shanhe naturally had never heard of this name.

But he already sensed something amiss.

Although he knew it was unlikely, Chen Shanhe still calmly gave the order, “Find this wealthy businessman named Mo Wen at all costs, and he needs to be taken alive. Furthermore, proceed with the refund to the property owners as they said!”

If they dared to expose themselves, they must already be prepared to get away unscathed.

He, Chen Shanhe, wasn’t so naive to think he could take them down in one fell swoop.

…

Lin Mo didn’t drive directly back to the city.

Instead, he followed the plan and set the car ablaze in a secluded wooded area they had chosen early on, burning it along with everything inside to ashes.

Whether Chen Shanhe would investigate him or not, the identity of Mo Wen was already useless.

Let them investigate, after all, Mo Wen’s role had already fulfilled its purpose.

After burning the car,

Lin Mo, having shed his disguise and changed his clothes, made a call with Mo Wen’s mobile phone to report a vehicle fire, then threw the phone and all related items such as bank cards into the raging flames, walked for a long time, before finally hailing a cab to rush towards Rakshasa City downtown.
