Eric asked, "What are your plans?"

Lin En's eyes were sharp. "We'll lure him out and create a deal he can't refuse, so he'll be caught."

the other side.

Kate sat in her apartment, surrounded by documents and electronic devices, her eyes fixed on her computer screen. She had just received a crucial document from an anonymous informant, detailing the financial flows of several business tycoons and the background of their so-called "medical research" projects.

As she flipped through the documents, she muttered to herself, "This so-called 'medical research' is nothing but a sham. They're using the banner of saving human health, but they're secretly funding illegal genetic experiments."

Kate's fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, cross-referencing this information with other information she had collected before. Soon, a clear picture formed in her mind - these giants not only financially supported the experiment, but also used their influence to cover up the truth.

She called Lin En, her tone full of urgency: "Lin En, I just found some key clues. These funders laundered funds in the name of 'medical research', using charities and scientific research funds to conceal their true intentions."

Lin En's voice came from the other end of the phone, calm but with a hint of alertness: "Do you have any solid evidence?"

"Yes, and it's enough to make it difficult for them to argue," Kate replied, "but it's not enough. I need more background support. These people will use their power to fight back. We have to be prepared in advance."

"What are you going to do?" Lynn asked.

Kate was silent for a moment, then said firmly, "I plan to report publicly and let the public know the truth behind these so-called philanthropists. Exposing them is the fastest way to get them to stop these experiments."

Lynn's tone turned serious: "Kate, these people have all the power and they won't sit idly by. Your actions may put you in danger."

"Danger is the norm in my job," Kate responded calmly, "but I know that only by letting the truth come to light can we truly stop them."

Lynn sighed. "Okay, but I hope you can be careful. If you need help, be sure to tell me."

"Don't worry." Kate smiled, "I won't let myself die in vain."

After hanging up the phone, Kate began writing her report. She methodically organized all the facts and clues into an article, exposing how business giants used the guise of "medical research" to fund gene editing experiments and attempted to make huge profits by manipulating genetic technology.

A few hours later, the article was finished. Kate contacted her colleagues in the editorial department and arranged an in-depth interview program, planning to release the report simultaneously. She knew that the article would cause an uproar, but she also knew that this was a battle that had to be fought.

The news immediately garnered widespread attention and public outcry. Major media outlets reprinted the story, directing public anger and questions at these giant companies. Spokespeople for some companies quickly issued statements attempting to clarify the situation, but more reporters and investigators delved deeper into the matter.

Kate's phone kept ringing, with some praising her courage and others threatening her to keep quiet. But she remained undeterred and continued to follow up on the clues, while keeping in close contact with Lynn, ready to deal with any possible retaliation.

Lin En felt a complex emotion after hearing the news. He knew that Kate's exposure was a double-edged sword, which could force the funders to reveal their true colors, but it could also speed up their efforts to clear the evidence.

"Her report will speed up the pace of this game," Lynn said to Eric. "Now, we must find the key connection points between these giants and the experimental organizations more quickly to ensure that they don't have a chance to escape."

Eric nodded, his tone becoming more nervous. "This is a battle we cannot lose. We must act quickly."

At the same time, in a monitoring room in a secret base, the head of the experimental organization was nervously discussing countermeasures in front of the screen.

"These reports increase our risk of exposure tenfold," a scientist cursed under his breath. "We must immediately move all equipment and experimental samples, otherwise, by the time the police find us, it will be all over."

"It's already been arranged," another supervisor said. "We'll split into three groups and send the equipment to different locations. As for the experimental samples... the most important ones will be destroyed directly to prevent any information from being leaked."

"Does Coleman agree with this decision?" the scientist asked.

The supervisor nodded and replied coldly, "He agreed, but he also warned us to be careful with every step we take. He said the FBI is on our tail and we don't have much time."

Meanwhile, Lynn and headquarters were busy analyzing the intelligence gathered following Kate's report. By cross-referencing a large amount of financial and logistics information, the team finally identified several key locations potentially related to the experimental organization.

"We've identified a transfer point for experimental equipment," the technician said in the conference room. "It's a small warehouse in the suburbs. Their shipping records show that they've been receiving a lot of unregistered packages recently. It's likely related to the experimental organization."

Eric pointed to another location marked on the screen and added, "There's also this abandoned laboratory. We didn't have enough evidence to investigate further before, but recent surveillance footage shows it's suddenly become bustling. They might be processing experimental samples here."

Lin En looked at the map with a sharp gaze. "If we disperse our forces, we might not be able to catch up with them. They're clearly trying to use the chaos and time difference to complete their transfer."

Eric pondered for a moment and said, "Then we should formulate two action plans. One team will track the equipment transfer point, and the other team will go directly to the laboratory to cut off their core escape route."

Lynn nodded in agreement. "I'll lead the team to the laboratory. This might be Coleman's last hiding place. Eric, you'll lead the other team to ensure the equipment isn't moved out of the suburbs."

Headquarters quickly distributed the plan to each team, and everyone realized that time was running out. Lin En's well-equipped team quickly arrived at the perimeter of the abandoned laboratory and discovered that the experimental organization had deployed a strict armed guard.

"They are stalling for time," Lynn said through the communicator, "obviously covering the evacuation of core personnel. We must break through quickly."

The agents quickly sprang into action, and a fierce firefight erupted outside the laboratory. While directing his team's advance, Lynn used a thermal imaging device to scan the heat distribution inside the building, quickly discovering a distinctly different area.

"Here." He pointed to a hidden underground entrance. "They hid the most important things down there."

The task force quickly broke through the guards and opened the underground entrance. Lin En led the way inside, discovering a complete laboratory, its equipment and data clearly still functioning. "Collect all evidence," Lin En ordered the technical team, "especially experimental records and samples. Nothing can be left here."

As the team was searching, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded. Lynn saw a countdown device activated, with glaring red numbers displayed on the screen.

"They've set the self-destruct!" the technician exclaimed. "Everything will be destroyed in ten minutes!"

Lin En ordered without hesitation: "Prioritize the rescue of experimental data and samples, and evacuate the rest of the people!"

The agents moved quickly, packing any equipment and documents they could take away into special containers, while Lynn personally inspected every operating device to ensure that no critical information was missed.

When the last second countdown ended, Lynn and his team had just evacuated the laboratory when a loud bang engulfed the entire underground facility in flames.

The next morning, Lynn walked into the headquarters conference room and found the atmosphere even more tense than usual. Eric sat at one end of the long table, his face gloomy, a report on the failed operation spread out before him.

"What's going on?" Lin En sat down, glanced at the other people in the meeting room, and asked in a low voice.

Eric sighed and pointed at the report. "Last night, we had planned to raid a newly targeted experimental transfer point. Intelligence indicated it was the final stop for the equipment transfer. However, when our team arrived, the target location was deserted. All equipment, personnel, and even traces had been completely wiped out."

Lin En flipped open the report, carefully examined the action record and on-site photos, and frowned. "Their reaction was too fast. This is definitely not a coincidence."

John stood aside, his tone filled with dissatisfaction: "Obviously, someone leaked our action plan in advance. They couldn't be so precise unless they knew we were coming."

Lin En closed the report and looked at Eric sharply: "This means there may be a mole inside the headquarters."

Eric nodded, but a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes: "I have considered this possibility, but our people have always been strictly screened. How could there be a traitor?"

"Strict screening doesn't guarantee foolproofness," Lynn said calmly. "There are only two possible scenarios for a leak: either the plan was hacked, or someone within our organization leaked the information."

The technician walked in with a report and said seriously, "Inspector, we've checked the communications and network systems and found no signs of hacking. This means the information was leaked from within."

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense, and everyone was wondering what this meant.

Lin En looked around and said in a low but powerful voice, "If there's a mole inside, every step we take now could be discovered by the other party. This would not only put us in a passive position, but also put the lives of the operatives in danger."

Eric gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the table. "We have to find this traitor. No matter who it is, we can't let them continue to sabotage the operation."

"The problem is, we can't rashly accuse anyone," Lynn analyzed calmly. "If we act rashly, we might alert the enemy. We need a more covert approach."

John frowned and asked, "Then what should we do? Should we risk guessing whether the other party already knows every time we take action?"

Lynn pondered for a moment, then said, "We need to design a decoy operation. We'll pretend to launch a raid, but it's actually a trap for the leaker. By observing who leaks false information, we can identify the suspect."

Eric nodded in agreement. "That's certainly an idea. But decoy operations also require extreme caution, so the real target doesn't notice any flaws."

Lin En looked at the technician and said, "At the same time, we also need to strengthen internal monitoring. All personnel, equipment, and communications recently involved in the operation plan must be carefully reviewed. Any anomalies cannot be ignored."

The technician immediately agreed: "Understood, I will arrange it immediately."

After the meeting, Lin En returned to his office and began to carefully sort out all the records and details of the past operations. He knew that finding the mole was an extremely difficult task, but it was also the most urgent issue at the moment.

A few hours later, his communicator rang. It was Eric's voice: "Lynn, the decoy plan is ready. When will we start?"

Lynn stood up, his eyes determined. "Starting tonight, we must catch this saboteur, otherwise the next failure could mean our complete collapse."

As the decoy plan began, tensions grew among the team. Everyone secretly speculated about the mole's identity, which gradually eroded trust. By the end of the operation, with no leads, Eric's patience had completely worn thin.

Back at the headquarters' conference room, Eric threw an action report on the table, staring straight at Lynn, his tone filled with dissatisfaction: "Lynn, your plan has yielded no results. We wasted a whole night, and the enemy is still at large!"

Lin En raised his head, his eyes calm. "I never said this plan would succeed in one go. This is a gradual process, and the decoy operation is just the first step."

"The first step?" Eric sneered, his tone full of disdain. "At the same time, our time is running out bit by bit! How can you be sure there's a mole among us? Maybe this is just a miscalculation!"

Lin En narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice low but firm: "If you don't want to trust my judgment, you can report directly to your superiors and ask me to withdraw from this mission. But I warn you, if we ignore this problem, every subsequent operation may be sabotaged."

Eric froze for a moment, a trace of struggle flashing across his face. His anger and anxiety intertwined, making it impossible for him to refute Lin En immediately.

"That's enough!" John, who was standing nearby, finally couldn't help but interrupt, raising his hands to signal the two to calm down. "Stop arguing, both of you. Our biggest enemy right now is the experimental organization, not each other."

He looked at Eric and softened his tone. "Eric, I understand your dissatisfaction, but Lynn's analysis is not without basis. The problem of leaks has caused the failure of our operations many times. This is a fact that cannot be ignored."

Then, he turned to Lynn, his tone equally serious: "Lynn, but Eric is also right about one thing. Our team is very fragile right now, and trust is close to collapse. You need to show everyone that your plan makes sense, rather than letting everyone fall into doubt." (End of this chapter)
