Su Ting entered the main control room, held his breath, and tried his best not to make any noise.

The control room contained several computers, with various data and monitoring images constantly flashing on their screens.

He slowly approached a computer that looked like the main system, sat down gently, and his fingers flew across the keyboard.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yang slipped out of the room through the back door, passed through a narrow passage, and arrived at a secluded corner at the back of the base.

There are some supply boxes piled up haphazardly here, suggesting that few people usually come here.

After looking around and confirming that no one was nearby, Zhao Yang began to carefully examine the labels on the supply boxes, hoping to find some clues.

Back in the control room, Su Ting quickly opened a backend system and began searching for relevant information about the organization.

The screen displayed a dense array of text and images, including a member list, action logs, and some encrypted files.

His gaze was drawn to a document titled "Secret Meeting Minutes," which he quickly opened to examine.

The contents of the document shocked Su Ting. It turned out that this so-called branch of the international anti-terrorism coalition was actually an underground criminal organization whose true purpose was to use this intelligence for some kind of illegal transaction.

Even more worrying is that they even plan to target Zhao Yang and Su Ting to eliminate potential eyewitnesses.

Just then, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, getting closer and closer.

Su Ting immediately exited the document page, turned off the screen, and found a suitable place to hide.

After the footsteps stopped, a person in uniform walked into the control room, looked around, and then left.

Su Ting secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his resolve only grew stronger—he had to tell Zhao Yang the truth.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yang also found some useful information. Underneath an inconspicuous box, he discovered a small notebook.

Upon opening it, he found detailed records of fund flows and evidence of cooperation with other underground organizations. He quickly photographed some key pages, intending to take them back to his room to discuss with Su Ting.

When Zhao Yang returned to the room, Su Ting was already sitting on the bed waiting for him. "How is it?" Su Ting asked anxiously.

"I discovered their financial transaction records, as well as the names of several other organizations."

As Zhao Yang spoke, he opened his phone's photo album to show Su Ting, "This evidence shows that they are definitely not a respectable organization."

Su Ting frowned.

“My findings are even worse. According to the information I found in the control room, this group is not an anti-terrorism coalition at all, but a small gang engaged in illegal transactions! And... they also want to target us.”

After hearing Su Ting's words, Zhao Yang felt a chill run down his spine. "So what should we do now?"

"We need to keep them calm first, and then find a suitable opportunity to escape."

Su Ting said, "We can pretend everything is normal and take the opportunity to gather more information as leverage. When the opportunity arises, we can try to contact the real security forces for assistance."

Zhao Yang nodded in agreement: "Then it's settled. We'll continue to gather more evidence tonight, and we'll see what happens tomorrow morning."

Just then, footsteps sounded again outside the door, seemingly the leader approaching. The two quickly regained their composure and lay down on the bed, pretending to be asleep.

"Did you rest well?" The other person pushed open the door and came in with a cryptic smile on their face.

"It's alright," Zhao Yang replied, standing up. "Any new arrangements?"

"Everything is going smoothly. A car will come to pick you up and take you away from here at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

The leader's gaze swept between the two men. "I hope you can get some rest and be well-rested for the mission ahead."

After the man left, Su Ting whispered, "We must be careful. Now that we know about their plot, we absolutely cannot let them succeed so easily."

Zhao Yang nodded: "Get a good rest tonight and conserve your energy. No matter what happens, we must not panic. Looking out for each other is the most important thing."

In the darkness, their breathing gradually subsided, but their tense nerves did not relax in the slightest.

They all knew that in such an uncertain place, a single misstep could lead to utter ruin.

Chapter 306 Conspiracy in the Dark

Night fell, and the base lights gradually dimmed. An eerie silence descended, broken only by the occasional soft footsteps.

Su Ting and Zhao Yang did not actually fall asleep, but quietly opened their eyes and exchanged a glance.

"Are you really sure we can find a way out?" Zhao Yang asked in a low voice, his tone tinged with unease.

“Now we have no choice but to trust each other,” Su Ting replied softly. “We must find more evidence to prove our innocence.”

The two men got up, put on their coats, and quietly opened the door to peek outside. After confirming that no one was around, they quickly left the room and split up again.

Su Ting returned to the main control room. He cautiously opened the door a crack, found it empty, and quickly slipped inside.

He sat back down at the computer, this time searching through the data more carefully, trying to find more useful information.

Zhao Yang then returned to that secluded corner, this time no longer content with simply checking the supply boxes.

He knew that a more important secret might be hidden here. After some searching, he found a well-sealed metal box beneath a pile of old file boxes.

Zhao Yang struggled to open the metal box, inside which was a thick notebook.

He casually flipped through a few pages and saw that they contained records of the organization's internal rules and regulations, as well as some confidential instructions.

This information not only reveals the true nature of the gang, but also its cooperation with other criminal groups.

Meanwhile, Su Ting discovered a new folder in the system, labeled "Emergency Evacuation Plan".

He quickly skimmed through the document and learned that the gang had a backup exit and that they would transfer people at regular intervals to ensure safety.

Just then, a shadow flashed past the surveillance camera, followed by a series of hurried footsteps. Someone was approaching the control room!

Su Ting immediately turned off the display screen, slipped into the nearby locker, and simultaneously sent a warning signal to Zhao Yang via communication device: "Come back quickly! Someone's coming!"

Upon receiving the information, Zhao Yang hurriedly put away the intelligence he had just obtained and rushed back.

He hadn't run far when he encountered several men in black approaching from another direction. Fortunately, the light was dim and they were in a hurry, so they didn't notice anything amiss.

The two returned to their room almost simultaneously and quickly lay down to feign sleep. A short while later, as expected, several armed guards appeared at the door and conducted a search.

After the guards left, Su Ting took out the emergency evacuation plan map he had just photographed from under his pillow and handed it to Zhao Yang: "It seems we have a way to escape."

After taking the blueprints and examining them carefully, Zhao Yang said.

"Let's escape along this route before we leave as planned tomorrow. But before that, we need to create some chaos to cover our tracks."

“Yes, we can pretend to be sick to lower their guard,” Su Ting added, “and then find a suitable time to make our move.”

Just as the two were discussing in hushed tones, there was a knock at the door. "Gentlemen, please come out for a moment. The leader wishes to speak with you in person," a cold voice said into the room.

"Coming right now," Zhao Yang replied, raising his voice, then winked at Su Ting. "Get ready to start the performance!"

Opening the door, the two of them shuffled unsteadily toward the conference room under the watchful eyes of everyone.

No one noticed that not far behind them, a faint light was emanating from one of the backpacks, where the key to life and death was hidden.

Upon entering the meeting room, they faced the seated leader and several senior officials. The leader still wore that enigmatic smile: "I hope you are all in good health. The upcoming task is quite important."

Chapter 307 The Suppressive Atmosphere

"We're fine, just a little tired."

Su Ting forced a smile as he answered, his eyes rapidly scanning every detail of the meeting room.

The leader nodded. "In that case, let's get straight to the point. The security situation outside the base has become increasingly serious recently, and we need to carry out a relocation operation."

"Relocated?" Zhao Yang frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"No need to ask any more questions," a tall man sitting next to the leader said coldly. "Just follow orders."

Su Ting felt a sense of oppression descend upon him.

He knew he had to seize this opportunity. He glanced at Zhao Yang beside him, only to see the other man nod slightly.

"Excuse me, may we go wash up first?"

Zhao Yang feigned weakness and said, "I didn't sleep well last night, and now my head is really dizzy."

The leader hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand. "Alright, go and come back quickly. Remember, we need to leave in half an hour."

After receiving permission, the two quickly headed towards the restroom.

After entering the cubicle and confirming that no one was around, Su Ting whispered to Zhao Yang, "Now is the time. While they are preparing to move, we should be able to slip out in the chaos."

“I agree, but we must get everything ready as soon as possible; time is running out.”

As Zhao Yang spoke, he took out the thick notebook and other important documents from his backpack.

"The contents of this notebook can prove the true nature of the organization. We must ensure that it does not fall into the hands of the enemy."

Su Ting also took out the emergency evacuation plan map, "According to the markings on this map, the backup exit should be located around here."

He pointed to the area marked in red on the map, "We can go there in advance and ambush them."

"But the problem is, if we don't go with the main group, we might be discovered."

Zhao Yang said worriedly, "It will be even harder to get away then."

After thinking for a moment, Su Ting's eyes lit up.

“I’ve got an idea. We can use some debris to create a small fire and cause chaos. While everyone is busy putting out the fire, we can take the opportunity to escape.”

"Brilliant plan!" Zhao Yang patted Su Ting on the shoulder. "But we need to be careful in the specifics, so as not to really make the fire bigger."

After discussing the plan, the two quickly clarified their strategy. They quietly slipped out of the bathroom and returned to their room as if nothing had happened.
