Chapter 179 Investigate the Carlos Chamber of Commerce!
Lin En gently put down the paper in his hand and looked around the room. "We need to find more clues about this Chamber of Commerce. Polo couldn't have left only this transfer record. He must have something else."

The two men conducted another thorough search, searching through Polo's wardrobe, drawers, and even under his bed, but apart from daily necessities and some insignificant documents, they found nothing of value.

"Strange, is it true that Polo only left such a small clue?" Hans said somewhat unwillingly.

Lin En didn't answer, his eyes suddenly fell on Polo's computer. He walked over quickly, turned on the computer, and began to check Polo's browsing history and folders.

"Got it!" Lin En shouted excitedly, "There's an unread email in Polo's mailbox. It's from the Carlos Chamber of Commerce."

Hans immediately came over. They stared at the screen together. The email read: "Mr. Polo, we are very satisfied with our last transaction. We look forward to our next collaboration. Please see the attached file for details."

Lin En quickly clicked on the attachment, but what popped up was an encrypted file that required a password. He tried several common passwords but failed to open it.

"It seems that Polo has set a password to protect this file." Hans frowned. "We have to find a way to crack it."

Lin En pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Does Polo usually have any special hobbies or habits? Perhaps we can find clues to crack the code from there."

Hans recalled, "I remember Polo once mentioned that he loved football, especially his team, the Blue Eagles. He also said that the founding date of the Blue Eagles was his lucky number."

Lin En immediately entered the Blue Eagles' founding date on the keyboard, and sure enough, the file opened successfully. Inside was a detailed transaction record, documenting multiple large transactions between Polo and the Carlos Chamber of Commerce, as well as the items and purposes of the transactions.

"Oh my god, Polo actually has such a deep connection with the Carlos Chamber of Commerce," Hans exclaimed. "And looking at these transaction records, they seem to be collaborating on some illegal experiment."

Lin En's eyes became unusually firm. "We must hand this information over to the police as soon as possible. At the same time, we must continue to investigate further to find out what the Carlos Chamber of Commerce is up to."

The two copied the file in the computer and then carefully left Polo's room. They knew that the next investigation would be more difficult and dangerous, but they also believed that as long as they insisted on justice and courage, they would be able to uncover the truth and save those innocent children.

Manhattan, a bustling and bustling metropolis, is a place where neon lights at night shimmer like stars, adorning the entire city like a dream. However, behind this glamorous appearance lies a hidden secret and darkness.

Lynn and Hans shuttled through the bustling crowd, their target being only one - the manager of the Manhattan branch of the Carlos Chamber of Commerce, a key figure who might be inextricably linked to Polo's death.

The two arrived in front of a towering skyscraper, which was the Manhattan branch of the Carlos Chamber of Commerce. They took a deep breath, looked at each other, and then walked in resolutely.

After some twists and turns, they finally met the legendary manager - a fat middle-aged man with greasy slicked-back hair and eyes that revealed cunning and arrogance.

"Are you Lynn and Hans?" The manager narrowed his eyes, looked them up and down, his tone full of disdain.

"Yes, we are." Lynn met the manager's gaze fearlessly. "We want to find out something about Polo."

Upon hearing this, the manager's face flashed with a subtle panic, but he quickly regained his composure. "Polo? Humph, that man is already dead. Why are you still mentioning him?"

"Dead?" Hans' eyes widened in anger as he stepped forward. "Why did he die? Is it related to your Carlos Chamber of Commerce?"

The manager sneered and leaned forward slightly, as if waiting for the other party's reaction. "Hmph, you two little guys, I advise you not to get involved in this mess. Polo's affairs are not for you to meddle in."

Lin En and Hans exchanged a glance, each seeing the determination in the other's eyes. They knew the manager must be hiding something, and they had to uncover the secret.

"Now that we've gotten involved, we can't give up easily." Lin En's voice was calm and firm. "Polo is our friend. We must get to the bottom of his death."

The manager's expression suddenly darkened. He stood up, walked over to the two men, and said in a low, threatening voice, "Let me advise you: sometimes, it's better not to know. Polo is a good example. He knew too many things he shouldn't have known, and that's why he ended up like this. If you don't want to follow in his footsteps, you'd better stop investigating."

Hans was furious when he heard this. He grabbed the manager by the collar and lifted him up. "You bastard! Your Carlos Chamber of Commerce is inextricably linked to Polo's death! We're here to get to the bottom of this!"

The manager was intimidated by Hans's aura, his face turning pale. But he quickly regained his composure and said in a cold tone, "Hmph, you think you can scare me like this? I tell you, the Carlos Chamber of Commerce is not someone you can afford to offend. If you don't stop, I promise you will regret it!"

Seeing this, Lin En quickly grabbed Hans and told him to calm down. He knew that a head-on confrontation wasn't the solution. What they needed was wisdom and strategy.

"Manager, you misunderstood." Lin En released Hans and said calmly, "We're not here to cause trouble. We just want to know the cause of Polo's death. He's our friend, and we have the right to know the truth. Furthermore, I believe that the Carlos Chamber of Commerce, as an influential organization, wouldn't want its reputation damaged by unnecessary misunderstandings."

The manager's eyes flickered with hesitation upon hearing this. He knew that Lin En's words made sense. The Carlos Chamber of Commerce truly didn't want its reputation tarnished by a trivial matter. Furthermore, he could see that these two people weren't going to be easily dismissed.

"Alright." The manager sighed and sat back in his chair. "I can tell you a few things about Polo, but you have to promise not to investigate further."

Lin En and Hans smiled at each other. They knew that the manager had begun to relent. Now it was time for them to show their skills.

"We can promise that." Lin En nodded, "As long as you tell the truth, we won't embarrass you anymore."

The manager paused for a moment, then began to recount Polo's story. He admitted that Polo had indeed collaborated with the Carlos Chamber of Commerce, but he didn't know the specifics. He only knew that Polo seemed to possess secrets that the Carlos Chamber of Commerce didn't want others to know, and that these secrets were the root cause of his death.

"So, what are these secrets?" Hans asked impatiently.

The manager shook his head. "I don't know. I'm just a branch manager, and there are many things I don't know. But I can tell you that these secrets are related to the top leaders of the Carlos Chamber of Commerce, and may even involve some higher-level forces."

Upon hearing this, Lin En and Hans both felt a sense of foreboding. They knew this secret might be far more complicated than they had imagined. Furthermore, they realized they might have been drawn into a massive vortex.

"So, what should we do now?" Hans looked at Lynn, his eyes full of confusion.

Lin En took a deep breath and said with a firm gaze, "No matter how many difficulties and dangers lie ahead, we must find out the cause of Polo's death. He is not only our friend, but also an innocent victim. We cannot let him die in vain."

Hans nodded, his fighting spirit rekindled in his eyes. "That's right! We must seek justice for Polo! At the same time, we must expose the crimes of the Carlos Chamber of Commerce! Let them know that there is still justice and fairness in this world!"

The two smiled at each other, then turned around and left the manager's office resolutely.

As night fell, the lights of Manhattan dotted the sky like stars, casting a mysterious veil over the city that never sleeps. Lin En, weary, returned to his small house on the outskirts of town. A day of travel had left him feeling more exhausted than ever. The weight of Polo's death weighed on his heart like a heavy rock, leaving him unable to let go. As he opened the door, an inexplicable chill washed over him, and Lin En shuddered. He flicked on the light; the dim, warm glow couldn't dispel the gloom within him. He slowly made his way to his bedroom, ready to wash up and get a good night's rest before resuming his investigation tomorrow.

However, as he lay in bed, about to fall asleep, a faint smell of gas quietly penetrated his nose. He was startled and sat up in an instant, his eyes full of vigilance.

"The smell of gas? Where does it come from?" Lin En muttered to himself. His heartbeat began to accelerate and an ominous premonition came over him.

He quickly got out of bed and followed the source of the gas smell to the kitchen. The kitchen window was half open, and the night breeze gently blew the curtains, as if telling some unknown secret. Lin En walked to the window and was about to check what was going on when suddenly, a lighter flew in from the window and landed steadily on the kitchen counter.

"Who?!" Lin En exclaimed, realizing that the situation was not good, and quickly turned around to escape. However, the moment he turned around, he saw a piece of paper next to the lighter. On it was written in crooked handwriting: "Want to know Polo's secret? Come and chase me!"

Lin En's heart trembled. He knew this was more than just a prank. Someone had deliberately led him here, and it seemed to be related to Polo's death. Without thinking too much, he turned and rushed to the door, ready to escape this dangerous place.

However, just as he was about to touch the doorknob, the kitchen gas stove suddenly exploded with a loud bang. The immense force sent Lin flying, and he felt a buzzing in his ears and a pitch-black vision. Instinctively, he desperately crawled towards the door, trying to escape the sea of ​​fire.

However, the flames raged like a demon, quickly spreading throughout the kitchen. The corner of Lin's clothes caught fire, and he felt a sharp pain spread throughout his body. He gritted his teeth, used up his last bit of strength, and suddenly threw himself out, finally rushing out the door and rolling onto the lawn in front of the door.

"Cough cough..." Lin En coughed violently. His face and hands were covered with scars, but he didn't care about that. He just gasped for breath, feeling lucky to have saved his life.

He lay on the ground, staring at the burning house, his heart filled with anger and confusion. Who was it? Who was trying to kill him? Was it someone from the Carlos Chamber of Commerce? Would they resort to such extreme measures to cover up the truth?

Lin En struggled to stand up, his eyes searching around, trying to find the person who threw the lighter. However, there was silence all around, only the flame was crackling, as if mocking his incompetence.

"Who are you? Why are you doing this?" Lin En roared, his voice echoing in the night sky, but he received no response.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that now was not the time to be angry and frustrated. He had to call the police as soon as possible and find the mastermind behind the incident. He took out his cell phone and dialed the police number with trembling fingers.

"Hello, is this the police? There was an explosion here... Yes, it was a gas explosion... The address is..." Lin En finished his address with difficulty and hung up the phone. He leaned against the wall, waiting for help to arrive.

Soon after, fire trucks and police cars arrived. Firefighters quickly put out the fire, while police began investigating the cause. Lynn was taken to the hospital for treatment. His injuries were not serious, but the emotional trauma was difficult to heal.

Under the night sky, neon lights flicker, traffic flows endlessly, and the city's hustle and bustle reaches its peak. However, in the heart of the city, a storm is quietly brewing.

Inside FBI headquarters, the lights were bright, but the atmosphere was unusually subdued. An agent hurried into the conference room, his face etched with barely concealed nervousness. "Sir, something's happened. Someone's tampered with our operation, and one of our agents is injured."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the conference room froze. FBI officials looked at each other, their eyes flashing with shock and unease. They knew this wasn't just a simple attack; it was a challenge to the FBI's authority.

"Who did it?" the middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table asked gravely. He was the deputy director of the FBI, named Harvey. Although his voice was calm, the authority contained in it was chilling.

"It's not clear yet, but..." The agent hesitated and continued, "But based on the clues left at the scene, it seems to be related to the Carlos Chamber of Commerce."

"Carlos Chamber of Commerce?" Harvey frowned slightly. The name was familiar to him. The Carlos Chamber of Commerce was a massive transnational criminal organization involved in smuggling, drug trafficking, money laundering, and other illegal activities. Its influence spanned the globe, giving even the FBI a headache.

At this moment, a young voice suddenly sounded: "I have some information about the Carlos Chamber of Commerce."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young agent standing up. It was Lin En. His eyes were firm, as if he had a determination that was unknown to others.

"Lin, are you sure you want to get involved in this?" Harvey looked at Lin, his tone full of complexity. "The Carlos Chamber of Commerce is not an ordinary criminal organization. They have powerful forces and resources behind them."

Lin En nodded, his tone firm: "I know, but I believe that as long as we dare to face it, nothing is impossible."

Harvey was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Well, since you are so determined, then tell me your intelligence."

Lin En took a deep breath and began to recount his entanglement with the Carlos Chamber of Commerce. From Polo's mysterious death, to their various connections with the Carlos Chamber of Commerce, to the thrilling explosion, every detail was terrifying.

"So, do you understand now?" Lin En said, looking at everyone present. "The Carlos Chamber of Commerce is not just a criminal organization, they are a cancer that threatens national security. If we don't take action, they will only become more rampant."

The meeting room fell silent, everyone pondering Lin's words. They knew that Lin was right; the Carlos Chamber of Commerce was indeed a huge threat. However, investigating such a large organization was undoubtedly difficult.

"But, Lynn," Harvey finally spoke, breaking the silence, "The Carlos Chamber of Commerce is too large, and our resources are limited. Investigating them is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Hearing this, Lin En's eyes flashed with determination. "I know this is difficult, but we can't give up just because of this. If we don't even dare to try, how can we talk about protecting the safety of the country and the people?"

Harvey looked at Lynn, a flicker of admiration in his eyes. He knew this young man possessed extraordinary courage and determination. However, as the Deputy Director of the FBI, he had to consider more comprehensively.

"Lin, you're right," Harvey said slowly, "but we can't act blindly. We need a thorough plan, more intelligence, and more resources. Furthermore, we must ensure the success rate of the operation. Otherwise, if we fail, the consequences will be disastrous."

Lin En nodded. He understood Harvey's concerns, but he already had a preliminary plan in mind.

"Sir, I have an idea," Lin En said. "We can start our investigation from within the Carlos Chamber of Commerce. I believe that as long as we can find their weak spot, we will be able to defeat them."

Harvey heard this, and a gleam flashed in his eyes: "Go on."

Lin En began to elaborate on his plan. He proposed infiltrating the Carlos Chamber of Commerce, obtaining intelligence and information, and then gradually dismantling their power. While this plan was extremely risky, it was the only viable option at the moment.

After hearing Lynn's plan, the atmosphere in the conference room fell silent again. Everyone was pondering the feasibility and risks of this plan. Finally, Harvey slowly spoke: "Lynn, your plan is bold and creative. However, I must warn you that this is an extremely dangerous mission. Are you ready?"

Lynn looked at Harvey, a determined glint in his eyes. "I'm ready, sir. For the safety of our country and our people, I'm willing to take the risk."
