Chen Mo and Zhao Jianfeng were hiding in the ventilation duct, with sweat dripping down their chins and soaking their collars. In the underground palace below, Xu Mingyuan's voice came clearly through the walkie-talkie: "Everyone, pay attention! An unexpected guest has broken in. Search every corner for me!" Immediately after that, a shrill alarm suddenly rang out and red lights flickered wildly in the passage.
Damn it! It was discovered! Zhao Jianfeng clenched his pistol tightly. "We have to quickly find the unlocking device for the USB drive, otherwise we'll be in vain." The two were crawling along the ventilation duct when suddenly they heard Su Qing's voice coming from the room below. Chen Mo leaned over the ventilation opening and saw Su Qing cursing at a computer, "This old fox, Xu Mingyuan, actually wants to keep all the benefits of the 'Deep Sea Project' for himself. Once I get the evidence, I'll surely ruin his reputation!"
Chen Mo's heart stirred. He whispered to Zhao Jianfeng, "Su Qing and Xu Mingyuan have conflicts. Maybe we can take advantage of this." He took out his mobile phone and sent an anonymous text message to Su Qing: "I have the evidence you want. Come quickly to the storage room under the ventilation duct."
A few minutes later, Su Qing walked into the storage room warily. Chen Mo and Zhao Jianfeng jumped down through the vent and restrained her. "Keep quiet. We are here to cooperate." Chen Mo lowered his voice, "We know you want to bring down Xu Mingyuan, and we need your help to unlock the USB drive." A trace of surprise flashed in Su Qing's eyes, and then she sneered, "Why do you trust me?"
Just because you are not willing to be a pawn. Zhao Jianfeng took out a photo, on which was the secret phone call record between Su Qing and the overseas drug Lord. "If you don't cooperate, these pieces of evidence will be made public." Su Qing's face turned deathly pale in an instant. After a moment of silence, she gritted her teeth and said, "Alright, I'll help you, but you must ensure my safety afterwards."
Under Su Qing's lead, they evaded the guards and arrived at a secret room. In the center of the secret room was an advanced fingerprint recognition device. After Su Qing operated it for a while, a card slot popped out of the device. Chen Mo inserted the USB drive, and immediately the detailed content of the "Deep Sea Project" was displayed on the screen, including the list of participating officials, the flow of funds, and even the arms transaction records of foreign forces.
Just as they were about to copy the materials, the door of the secret room was suddenly blown open. Xu MingYUAN WITH a group of bodyGUARDS BURST IN, FACE WITH YOUDAOPLACEHOLDER0 SMILE: "I KNOW, Su QING THIS DESPICABLE THING UNRELIABLE." He raised the gun in his hand and pointed it at Chen Mo, saying, "Hand over the USB drive. I can give you a good time."
At the critical moment, Zhao Jianfeng suddenly pushed Su Qing towards Xu Mingyuan and fired shots at the same time. Amid the chaos, Chen Mo took the opportunity to copy the materials onto the spare memory card and pulled Zhao Jianfeng out. The bullets brushed past their scalps, and behind them came Xu Mingyuan's roar: "Don't let them run away!"
