"Shut down all equipment and extract all useful data," Lynn ordered the technicians. "This data may be the key to uncovering the true face of the entire experimental organization."

Technicians acted quickly, accessing the equipment's storage system and copying all experimental records, gene editing protocols, and lists of funders onto portable hard drives. Meanwhile, other team members set up timed explosive devices in various corners of the lab to ensure the complete destruction of the equipment and facilities after evacuation.

"Inspector, this data is incredibly detailed," a technician said as they worked. "We've not only discovered the genetic structure of the test subjects, but we've also uncovered some unfinished experimental plans and detailed records of funding flows."

Lynn nodded. "These are the evidence we need. Make sure the hard drive is safe and no data can be lost."

Just as the team was preparing to evacuate, the base's internal systems suddenly activated an automatic defense program, activating the life support systems of the test subjects. The liquid in the incubator began to fluctuate violently, and some immature test subjects even attempted to break free from the walls.

"Hurry! Speed ​​up!" Lin En roared, and the escort team retreated quickly.

After all the team members evacuated according to plan, Lin En was the last one to leave the control room. He looked at the test subjects and finally pressed the start button for the remote-controlled explosion.

Amidst the huge explosion, the entire laboratory was engulfed in flames, and the experimental subjects and the equipment used to create them were completely reduced to ruins.

During the post-evacuation inventory, Lin En picked up the hard drive and watched the technicians back up and encrypt the data. He whispered, "This data will inform our next steps. While this operation was a success, it's only the beginning."

Eric walked over with a tired smile on his face. "No matter what, we won this time. The core facility was destroyed, and the strength of the experimental organization was greatly weakened."

"Yes," Lynn nodded, but his tone was still heavy, "But we haven't touched upon the real mastermind behind this. Coleman is just a pawn, and there's a bigger force behind him."

Eric sighed: "At least this time, we have enough weapons to deal with the upcoming battle."

Lin En looked out at the distant sea, his eyes filled with determination. "Yes, but next, we must uncover the true identity of the sponsors and catch them all in one fell swoop. This is the only way to end this conspiracy."

After several days of collating and analyzing the experimental data, Lynn and the technical team gradually uncovered some hidden clues. Some of the data recorded the experimental organization's communications and financial flows. Surprisingly, this data seemed to overlap with internal information at FBI headquarters.

"Detective, you need to look at this." The technician called Lin En over while operating the computer.

Lynn walked closer to the screen and stared closely at the displayed charts and logs. "These fund transfer records... their frequency overlaps too precisely with the timing of several of our action plans."

The technician nodded. "Not only that, we discovered some encrypted communication logs. These messages were sent from the experimental organization's system, and the target was surprisingly the internal network nodes of our headquarters. Furthermore, the access permissions of these nodes are quite high."

Lin En's eyes turned cold. After thinking for a moment, he whispered, "This shows that someone in their group is leaking information. Only someone who knows everything about our actions can be so precise."

Eric came over and his face darkened when he heard this: "So, the existence of the mole is beyond doubt. The question is, how do we find him?"

"Through this data," Lin En said firmly, "since they're transmitting intelligence through the internal network, they're bound to leave clues. The technical team needs to expand the scope of their tracking and find the specific source of this node."

"Understood." The technician quickly began tracking work.

A few hours later, a key result popped up on the screen—a user access record hidden deep within headquarters had been locked down, originating from an account with high-level permissions. Lin En stared at the screen with a cold gaze: "Who is this person?"

The technician tapped away at the keyboard, then finally paused and looked up at Lynn, his tone filled with disbelief. "It's...it's Jason Cobb. He's a member of the internal intelligence team, has high authority, and often participates in the formulation of operational plans."

"Cobb?" Eric frowned. "I've worked with him a few times, and he seems like a decent guy. I didn't expect..."

"Appearances can be deceiving," Lynn interrupted calmly, "but data isn't. His problem has been exposed. We need to act immediately and not give him any time to react."

Lynn quickly convened a special operations team and applied for temporary authorization from his superiors, allowing him to arrest Cobb directly. He knew that any delay could allow Cobb to destroy more key evidence.

The action team quietly approached Cobb's office area. He was sitting in front of the computer, seemingly unaware. When Lynn led the others in, he looked up and a look of surprise flashed across his face.

"Cobb," Lynn said coldly, "you are under arrest."

Cobb's expression instantly became nervous, but he tried to look innocent: "Detective, what is this? Are you mistaken?"

"Are you mistaken?" Lin En stepped closer and placed a printed piece of evidence in front of him. "Your account accessed the experimental organization's communication logs and repeatedly passed confidential information about our operations. This data all points to you. Do you have anything else to say?"

Cobb's eyes flickered, and then he sneered: "It seems that you have found something. However, I am just a small figure. What can you change if you catch me? You will never find those who really control everything."

"Then you don't have to worry about it." Lynn waved his hand to signal the team members to handcuff Cobb, and at the same time ordered the technicians to thoroughly check his computer.

In Cobb's computer, Lynn and the technical team found more key evidence, including his encrypted communication records with the experimental organization and a hidden list of some funders.

As Cobb was escorted out, Eric stood beside Lynn and whispered, "You did it, Inspector. The mole has been found, and he can no longer disrupt our operations."

Lin En's eyes were deep, but his tone was calm. "This is a breakthrough, but it's far from enough. Through the records he left behind, we must dig out deeper secrets. This battle is not over yet."

Eric nodded, his eyes lit with determination. "We'll definitely catch these people in one fell swoop." William was being held in a high-security interrogation room at headquarters. The room was surrounded by explosion-proof glass and high-strength shielding to ensure that any mutant abilities could not be used here. When Lynn entered the room, William was sitting at the table, his hands secured to the surface with special handcuffs, his expression unsettlingly calm.

"Inspector, we meet again." William raised his head, a hint of sarcasm on his lips, "It seems that you are here to deal with me personally this time."

Lin En pulled out a chair and sat down, slamming a document on the table. He said coldly, "Your experimental base has been destroyed, and the equipment and data are in our control. Now, you have no way out. Cooperation is your only option."

William chuckled, leaned back in his chair, and said lazily, "Cooperation? Do you think I will confess everything so easily? Inspector, your so-called victory is only temporary. This experiment is far more complicated than you imagine."

Lin En stared at him, his tone calm but with a hint of oppression: "Coleman, who is supporting you in this experiment? Why do you take such a big risk to carry out these illegal operations?"

William was silent for a moment, as if considering whether to speak. Finally, he whispered, "Do you know where humanity's future lies, Inspector? It's in our genes. Genes hold the answer to all our problems. Disease, aging, the limits of our strength... these can all be solved through gene editing. And my experiment is paving the way for this future."

"Don't interrupt." Lin En's eyes were sharp. "I'm asking about those who support you. What is their purpose?"

William's smile gradually faded, and his expression turned grim. "Those who support me? Oh, their goals are completely different from mine. They only care about power and money. Those business tycoons funded me to create what they called 'perfect soldiers'—enhanced mutants who completely obey orders, have no emotions, and no sense of resistance."

Lin En frowned. "Perfect soldiers? What do they want to do with these test subjects?"

"Control." William looked directly into Lynn's eyes, his voice low and cold. "Using genetic technology to create controllable mutants to replace traditional armies and weaken existing national power structures. This is a reorganization of power, and these people hope to control everything in the new world order."

Lin En's heart sank, realizing this wasn't just an ethical issue related to the experiment; it was a full-scale threat to the very fabric of society. He asked coldly, "Why would you participate in such a project? Are you willing to be exploited by them?"

William sneered. "Use? Inspector, you don't understand. I am using them. They gave me funding and resources, allowing me to freely advance my research. As for their purpose... once my research is completed, they will not be my opponent at all."

Lin En was silent for a few seconds, then continued, "What about the loss of control of the experimental subjects? What about the lives destroyed in the experiments? Do you really think you can fully control this power?"

A subtle shadow flashed across William's face, but he quickly regained his composure. "Science always comes at a price, Inspector. Loss of control and failure are part of the process. If you could step outside your moral framework, perhaps you would understand what I mean."

"Your intention is nothing but more chaos and death." Lynn said in a cold tone. He stood up and looked at William. "Your experiment is over, Coleman. From now on, you will pay the price for all the consequences you have caused."

William didn't refute it again, but just smiled slightly, with a hint of sarcasm. Lin En walked out of the interrogation room, feeling a heavy burden in his heart. Although William's words were cold, the message they revealed was chilling.

Back in the office, Lynn compiled William's confession into a report and submitted it to his superiors.

Kate's follow-up report arrived as promised a few days later. This time, she wove all the evidence and details she had compiled into a shocking article with a simple but powerful title: "Gene Warfare: The Shadow of Humanity's Future."

The article details how the experimental organization exploited the financial and technical support of business tycoons to secretly conduct illegal genetic experiments. Through meticulous investigation, Kate directly connects the machinations of the business tycoons to the tragic conditions of the experimental subjects, painting a shocking picture. The article also includes screenshots of experimental data provided by Lynn's team, proving that these experiments were not groundless.

The article's release immediately sparked a furor. Public opinion, like a tsunami, thrust the business tycoons who normally enjoyed power and wealth into the spotlight. Every name mentioned in the news became a focal point for heated discussion in the media and society.

Social media platforms are filled with angry voices:

"They're using us as experiments!"

"Do these people have any bottom line?"

"We must conduct a thorough investigation and make these evildoers pay the price!"

At the same time, legal agencies also took swift action. Some MPs affected by Kate's report publicly expressed their views and demanded a full investigation into the business tycoons involved. The offices of some tycoons were even raided, and a large number of documents and computers were seized.

At headquarters, Lynn continued to investigate while observing the evolving situation. He was grateful for Kate's reporting, but he also knew that this storm would not be confined to public opinion.

"Detective," Eric walked into the office and handed Lynn a recent report. "The federal court has just frozen James Callahan's assets. His company was found to have multiple illegal funds flowing into accounts related to the experimental organization."

Lynn glanced at the report and nodded. "This is a good start, but we need to make sure all the funders are tracked down. They will fight back and even try to erase the evidence."

Eric sneered, "It won't be that easy for them to escape this time. Kate's report has made it impossible for the public to ignore this issue. Their every move is under the spotlight."

Meanwhile, reporters and protesters crowded outside Kate's press office. Some of her supporters came to express their gratitude and respect for her, while others tried to excuse the business tycoons.

Kate took it lightly. She told the media that this was not only my personal effort, but also the cooperation of a team. Inspector Lynn and his team risked their lives to uncover the truth, and it is our responsibility to let the truth be seen.

However, Kate also understood that these giants would not sit idly by. Sure enough, a few days later, some anonymous letters related to her report began to circulate on social media, trying to question her motives and even attack her private life.

Lin En quickly learned of the situation and immediately called Kate: "Are you okay? Those attacks were just their counterattack, don't take them to heart." (End of this chapter)
