Chapter 1006 1008: Could He Have Found Out Something?
On the day of New Year's celebration, the subordinates couldn't reach the mole, feeling something was off.It wasn't until He Lili also disappeared that they found out through special channels.
Only to discover that the mole had actually been captured by Zhou Datian's people.
It was expected that He Lili would be caught, but how could an experienced agent like the mole be captured so easily?
Despite Chen Bin's puzzlement, he still ordered.
"Inform Zhou Datian anonymously that if he releases the mole, the matter with Lin Ao will end here. If he doesn't release him, no one's dignity can be preserved when it escalates."
Meanwhile, Zhou Datian was equally surprised.
He never thought that the mole would dare to manipulate He Lili behind the scenes.
However, as an agent, the mole clearly didn't have such courage.
Thinking of this, Zhou Datian suspected that Chen Bin was the one pulling the strings behind the scenes.
If that's true, things would get complicated.
However, when the subordinates started interrogating, the mole insisted that he partnered with He Lili solely for money, having nothing to do with anyone else.
Faced with this, Zhou Datian was momentarily at a loss.
After all, they were all part of national security, and no one knew how many copies of Lin Ao's video had been duplicated.
If they really used force on the mole, it would be hard to handle once the matter blew up.
Since ace agent Guo Jin was captured last time, the Security Department had been restructured, with Zhou Datian becoming the Executive Deputy Minister.
With his prestige and capability, becoming the Minister was only a matter of time.
So before this, Zhou Datian wanted to avoid any unfavorable incidents.
After receiving the anonymous letter, he was more convinced that the mole was being directed by someone.
Since the other party didn't wish to escalate things, Zhou Datian decided to let it go.
And he instructed his subordinates to tell the mole not to target Lin Ao again, or the consequences would be dire.
When Chen Bin secretly met with the mole, he immediately asked, "How did you get caught?"
The latter looked deeply ashamed, "He Lili didn't listen and went home for New Year. After she was caught, she lured me out. But rest assured, sir, I didn't reveal anything."
Patting him on the shoulder, Chen Bin comforted him.
"It's alright, this can't be blamed on you."
The mole sighed deeply and asked, "So what do we do next?"
"You don't have to worry about the rest, go hide abroad for a while."
Speaking up to this point, Chen Bin added.
"Go to the Beautiful Country, try to find Luo Hui's whereabouts. I didn't say for you to come back, just stay there."
Luo Hui was originally the Executive Deputy Minister of the Security Department, and he betrayed Guo Jin.
When the top started investigating the matter, Luo Hui had already defected to the Beautiful Country with his wife and children.
Regarding this, the Security Department Party Committee directly ordered the Overseas Action Bureau to assassinate Luo Hui.
Unfortunately, he was hiding too well and hadn't been located yet.
After the mole left, Chen Bin called Cheng Liusha, arranging to meet at Imperial Capital No.1.
Cheng Liusha knew Chen Bin wouldn't come without a reason, so upon meeting, he spoke first.
"We're all on the same side, no need to beat around the bush, just say what you have in mind."
"Alright, since you say so, let's get straight to the point. Take a look at this..."
As he spoke, Chen Bin opened a laptop, playing the video inside.
Cheng Liusha only took a glance and already frowned deeply.
"Who is this?"
Chen Bin immediately paused the video, replying.
"He is Lin Ao, the Vice Governor of Nanchuan Province. The Deputy Minister of the United Security Department, Zhou Datian, is involved in embezzlement and taking bribes, and has kept numerous mistresses. Shouldn't we investigate a leader like this?"
He Lili extorted nearly two hundred million from Lin Ao, half of which went to her, and the remaining hundred million ended up in Chen Bin's pocket.
Chen Bin first distributed fifty million among his subordinates, including the mole, and the rest was transferred to an overseas account through Ma Juan.
Since the money was already in hand, it was time to close the net.
This is why he sought out Cheng Liusha, hoping to catch Lin Ao and Zhou Datian in one fell swoop.
Logically speaking, Cheng Liusha didn't want to get involved in this mess, but since it was Chen Bin asking for help, he finally agreed.
In less than half a month, news spread that Lin Ao was suspected of serious disciplinary violations and was under investigation by the organization.
Under interrogation from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, Lin Ao soon confessed everything.
However, seeing that Zhou Datian remained unscathed, Chen Bin felt very puzzled.
After contacting Cheng Liusha, he learned that Zhou Datian had strong backing, which had directly suppressed the case.
Ever since Lin Ao was taken by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, Zhou Datian had been very anxious every day, afraid that he would be the next to fall.
Just when he thought he was doomed, he suddenly received an anonymous letter.
It contained only eight words: Chen Bin is after you, be careful!
In fact, ever since the mole incident happened, Zhou Datian had guessed it was orchestrated by Chen Bin.
Now, with this anonymous letter, Zhou Datian's anger surged.
"Chen, I have no grudge against you, why are you targeting me? Fine, we'll see!"
Time flowed like sand through fingers, quickly ushering in May.
Just after May Day, a shocking news broke out.
A critical research plan at the Thermodynamics Institute under the Imperial Capital Aerospace University was leaked abroad.
This matter is no small issue, the Security Department immediately convened a party committee meeting to discuss countermeasures.
Ju Jun scanned the faces of everyone present and said very solemnly.
"The Thermodynamics Institute is a key research institution. The occurrence of such a serious leak is our negligence. To make amends, we must capture all the spies in the shortest possible time!"
At this moment, Zhou Datian spoke directly.
"I suggest forming a special leading group, assembling elite forces to solve the case quickly."
Tong Weiguo and Ju Jun exchanged a glance, both nodding.
"That's a good idea. Who do you think is capable of handling this task?"
Zhou Datian stared intently at Chen Bin, a chilling coldness flickering deep in his eyes.
"Since Minister Chen is the party secretary of Imperial Capital Aerospace University, he is the best candidate to take on this task."
Ju Jun nodded, turning to look at Chen Bin.
"Minister Chen, do you have the confidence to solve the case quickly?"
Without a moment's hesitation, the latter agreed outright.
"I am confident!"
While speaking, Chen Bin inadvertently glanced at Zhou Datian's eyes.
He could distinctly feel the hatred emanating from the other side.
This filled Chen Bin's heart with doubt, why did Zhou Datian have such an expression?
Could it be that he knew something?
Just then, Zhou Datian averted his gaze, turning his head elsewhere.
Ju Jun didn't notice the change in expression between the two, he spoke directly.
"Alright, since Minister Chen is so confident, then such an important task is entrusted fully to you!"
