After the court's verdict, Jiangcheng City seemed to have returned to calm on the surface. People on the streets were talking about the satisfying incident of the corrupt official being brought down. However, Chen Mo couldn't relax his tense nerves. The fall of Zhou Hongru and Lin Guodong is just the tip of the iceberg. Among those unexposed case files, there are still countless undercurrents surging.
That day, Chen Mo was sorting through case materials when he suddenly received a strange call. On the other end of the phone was a voice-altered voice: "Officer Chen, don't think it's all over. 'Prometheus' won't let it go." Before Chen Mo could ask further, the phone was hung up. He held his mobile phone, his eyes solemn. It was the first time he had heard the name "Prometheus" from someone else.
Chen Mo immediately got in touch with Zhao Jianfeng, and the two met in a meeting room at the police station. Zhao Jianfeng retrieved the recent surveillance footage and found that since Zhou Hongru was arrested, some suspicious vehicles that had covert dealings with Jinxiu Group had frequently entered and exited an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city. I think there is something wrong with this place. It's very likely related to that "Prometheus". Zhao Jianfeng pointed at the screen and said.
As night fell, Chen Mo and Zhao Jianfeng quietly sneaked into the abandoned factory. The factory was terrifyingly silent, with only the occasional clanging of metal reverberating in the empty space. They groped forward carefully. Suddenly, a beam of flashlight light shone on them. Who is it? A rough male voice rang out, and immediately after, more than ten black-clad men armed with sticks gathered around.
Chen Mo and Zhao Jianfeng quickly pulled out their pistols. "We are police officers. Put down your weapons!" However, the other side was not afraid at all. The leading man in black sneered, "Police?" Here, none of you can get out alive! The two sides immediately engaged in a fierce struggle. Although Chen Mo and Zhao Jianfeng were highly skilled, the large number of opponents gradually made them feel a bit overwhelmed.
Just when they were in trouble, they suddenly heard the siren outside the factory. It turned out that the support arranged in advance by Chen Mo had arrived. Seeing the situation was not good, the men in black fled in all directions. Chen Mo and Zhao Jianfeng didn't have time to pursue and continued to search inside the factory. In a locked warehouse, they discovered a large amount of cash and account books. The transaction records on the account books indicated that all these funds had flowed to an organization named "Morning Star Charity Foundation".
Even more shockingly, they discovered a dark room in the corner of the warehouse. There is a computer placed in the darkroom, and some encrypted files are stored in the computer. Chen Mo tried to crack the password. After much effort, he finally opened the file. The content of the document made him draw in a sharp breath - the "Morning Star Charity Foundation" was actually a money laundering tool of "Prometheus" in Jiangcheng, and behind this organization, there were more powerful officials involved.
Just as Chen Mo and Zhao Jianfeng were about to take the evidence away, a violent explosion suddenly came from outside the factory. They ran out to have a look and found that another part of the factory was burning fiercely. Apparently, someone had deliberately set the fire to destroy the evidence. Chen Mo gazed at the firesight, clenching his fists. He knew that an even greater storm was approaching.
Back at the police station, Chen Mo and Zhao Jianfeng immediately reported the situation to their superiors. However, the response they received was to temporarily suspend the investigation and wait for further instructions. Chen Mo realized that the forces of "Prometheus" had infiltrated the top management of the police station, and they had to act with caution.
Chen Mo decided to start with the "Morning Star Charity Foundation". Through connections, he found a former employee of the foundation. At first, this employee was reluctant to cooperate, but under Chen Mo's patient persuasion, he finally revealed some secrets. It turned out that while the foundation was ostensibly engaged in charity work, it was actually involved in illegal organ trading and human trafficking. The information of these victims was all stored in a secret room at the foundation's headquarters.
After learning this news, Chen Mo and Zhao Jianfeng decided to take a risk and sneak into the headquarters of the foundation. They disguised themselves as maintenance workers and smoothly entered the foundation building. During the search for the secret room, they encountered numerous obstacles. Not only was there a strict security system, but also bodyguards from the foundation were on patrol.
Just as they were about to find the secret room, they were discovered by the person in charge of the foundation. The person in charge was a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He sneered at Chen Mo and Zhao Jianfeng and said, "Officer Chen, Captain Zhao, you two are really persistent." It's a pity. I'm afraid you can't get out of here today. Having said that, he waved his hand and a group of bodyguards surrounded him.
