Spy Wars: Strong Agents Who Are Ruthless and Talk Little

Chapter 125: Continuing to investigate in this way is too risky

After leaving the meeting room, Su Ming didn't return directly to his office. Instead, he took a detour to a secluded corner of the company. This was a mostly unused data room, housing the company's historical archives and some unused equipment. Su Ming knew that the real clues were often hidden in these unassuming places.

He carefully searched through the long-forgotten files and finally found some early documents related to the Dawn Project among a pile of old materials. The documents detailed the initial conception of the project and some internal discussions, including a technology called "deep connection."

"Deep connection? He had never heard of that term before.

Just as he was concentrating on reading these documents, his phone suddenly vibrated. Su Ming took out his phone and saw that it was a message from Lin Yue.

“I found

Su Ming's actions aroused the other party's suspicion.

Su Ming rummaged through the long-forgotten documents in the company's data room, a faint sense of unease filling his heart. He had already been here for far too long, and every second he spent there could increase the risk of discovery. Yet, the documents in his hands held him back. The "deep connection" technology mentioned in these documents was clearly closely related to the Dawn Project, but the specific content was heavily encrypted, making it impossible to decipher.

“There’s definitely more to this project than meets the eye. I decided to stay a little longer and photograph as much of the material as possible.

Just as he was concentrating on his work, he suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps. Su Ming's heart suddenly tightened. He quickly turned off his phone and quickly put away the photos he had taken. Then he stood quietly in the corner, holding his breath, waiting for the person to appear.

The door opened, and a tall figure walked into the data room. It was Li Qiang, the captain of the company's security team. Su Ming had crossed paths with Li Qiang several times before and knew that he was a meticulous person, adept at noticing even the smallest anomalies.

"Su Ming?" Li Qiang's voice was low and questioning. His eyes swept around the data room, and he had obviously noticed something.

Su Ming knew he had to react quickly. He put on a smile and pretended to be relaxed as he stepped out of the shadows and walked towards Li Qiang. "Captain Li,"

Li Qiang frowned, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes. "What are you doing here? This data room is rarely visited."

Su Ming quickly organized his words in his mind and said calmly, "I just need some information about early projects to see if it has any reference value. Although the information here is old, sometimes you can find some unexpected information."

Li Qiang clearly didn't fully believe this explanation. His eyes fell on the folder in Su Ming's hand, and he became even more alert. "What information are you looking for? Do you need my help?"

"Nothing special, just some records of historical projects." Su Ming closed the folder, his tone still calm, "But I have found the information I need, and now I am going back to sort it out."

Li Qiang stared at Su Ming, his gaze fixed on his eyes, as if trying to detect a flaw. The tension in the air grew, and Su Ming's heartbeat quickened, but he remained calm, knowing he couldn't reveal even the slightest flaw at this moment.

Just as the atmosphere was about to reach a critical point, the door to the data room was pushed open again. A familiar figure appeared at the door. It was Lin Yue.

"Su Ming, you're here!" Lin Yue's voice was filled with a hint of surprise, but her eyes quickly swept over Li Qiang, as if she had realized something. She quickly walked over to Su Ming and smiled professionally. "I've been looking for you. Didn't we agree to discuss the information together?"

Su Ming immediately understood Lin Yue's intention and took over her conversation, "Yes, I just found some information and was about to go back and discuss it with you."

Li Qiang's eyes flickered between Su Ming and Lin Yue, clearly pondering their relationship. Lin Yue's identity as a reporter was public knowledge within and outside the company, and her presence seemed to temporarily ease Li Qiang's concerns.

"In that case, then you can continue." Li Qiang's tone softened a little, but still carried a hint of coldness. "But I remind you that most of the documents in the data room are company secrets, so please be sure to pay attention to safety. Captain Li, we will be careful." Lin Yue said with a smile, then glanced at Su Ming and motioned him to leave.

Su Ming nodded and left the data room with Lin Yue. After they walked out the door, Su Ming felt the gazes behind him still following them closely. It was not until they took a few steps that the pressure eased slightly.

"How did you find this place?" Su Ming asked in a low voice. Although he seemed calm on the surface, he had already begun to be alert in his heart.

Lin Yue's face was serious as he replied, "I just received news that the company's security system had noticed your unusual behavior. I was worried that you might be discovered, so I hurried over to check. Fortunately, I arrived in time."

Su Ming nodded silently. Although he expressed gratitude for Lin Yue's help, he remained cautious inwardly. He knew he had to be suspicious of everyone, even those who seemed to be on the same side as him.

"Thank you for your reminder." "We must be more careful. The internal defense of the Borui Group is more complex than we thought."

Lin Yue nodded in agreement. "I've felt it too. Especially in the past few days, the atmosphere within the company has become very tense, as if something big is about to happen."

The two of them walked and talked, gradually moving away from the data room. When they reached a quiet corner of the company building, Su Ming relaxed a little.

"Su Ming, I think we need to change our strategy." Lin Yue's voice deepened, a hint of worry lingering in his voice. "The level of vigilance within the Borri Group is increasing. Continuing this in-depth investigation is too risky."

"What do you suggest?" I was already thinking about my next move.

"We need more external support." Lin Yue looked directly into Su Ming's eyes. "I can use my identity as a reporter to contact some independent investigative agencies and international organizations. They may be willing to help us obtain more information or even expose the conspiracy of the Borri Group." Thinking about Lin Yue's proposal. Although external support can indeed reduce their risks, it also means that more people will be involved, and things may become more complicated and uncontrollable.

"I agree with your suggestion, but we must ensure the safety of all involved. This is not only for our own sake, but also to protect those innocent people."
