* Target Locked
At the Xiao organization's secret meeting, Bang posed a question to all members:
"Who else do you think is a seemingly respectable person, but secretly commits all kinds of evil?"
The question made everyone ponder until Lin Zhe spoke, "Zhao Wenkang."
His words fell, and the meeting room fell silent. Everyone knew what this name meant—a more terrifying existence than Han Qingsheng, a politician with connections in both the legal and illegal worlds, a demon who presented an image of "integrity and justice" but secretly trafficked people, controlled the black market, and silenced people by killing them.
"This person..." Lin Zhe took a deep breath, his eyes filled with cold light, "If he is not eliminated, the filth in society will never be eradicated."
All members of the Xiao organization agreed with this decision, although they knew that Zhao Wenkang was no ordinary target. To take him down, they had to infiltrate, defect, and divide his forces, dismantling everything from within.
* Infiltration Plan
To ensure the plan's foolproof execution, the Xiao organization decided to adopt a two-pronged infiltration:
First Group: Shui She, Scarface, Iron Fist
They infiltrated Zhao Wenkang's lower-level forces with different identities, starting from the most inconspicuous places, gradually approaching his inner circle.
Shui She, with her superb acting skills and cunning methods, successfully infiltrated Zhao Wenkang's secretarial team.
Scarface, with his past experience as a thug, entered Zhao Wenkang's private security team.
Iron Fist hid in an underground fight club, establishing contact with Zhao Wenkang's gang forces through competitions.
Second Group: External Support (Bang, Lin Zhe, Fatty)
They provided intelligence from the outside, observed Zhao Wenkang's movements, and provided cover and retreat plans at critical moments.
Lin Zhe began investigating Zhao Wenkang's health, trying to find his fatal weaknesses.
* Scarface's Exposure
Scarface was straightforward and, although skilled, was not good at infiltration. When he helped Zhao Wenkang's men deal with "trouble," he accidentally revealed some details, raising suspicions about his identity.
During a drinking session, one of Zhao Wenkang's confidants deliberately tested him, "Where did you come from? Who did you follow before?"
Although Scarface tried his best to cover up, the other party didn't fully believe him. A few days later, Scarface found himself being monitored.
Realizing the situation was bad, Bang urgently arranged a retreat plan. In a staged car accident, Scarface "disappeared," breaking away from Zhao Wenkang's organization. Although they lost this infiltration point, Shui She and Iron Fist were still safe, and they decided to stay in Zhao Wenkang's forces on standby.
* Lin Zhe's Return
Scarface's exposure made Zhao Wenkang more vigilant, making the Xiao organization's infiltration plan more difficult.
"Since Scarface is out, I'll go," Lin Zhe said at the meeting.
Everyone was stunned, and Bang frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Zhao Wenkang used to know me," Lin Zhe said calmly. "I used to work with Han Qingsheng. In his eyes, I should be a 'missing' old subordinate. If I reappear in front of him and act like I have 'nowhere to go,' he will accept me."
"But..." Shui She was a little worried, "Aren't you afraid he'll suspect you?"
Lin Zhe smiled, "I'll give him no reason to suspect me."
* Zhao Wenkang's Test
Zhao Wenkang did suspect Lin Zhe's sudden return, but he also knew that Lin Zhe's medical skills and connections were of great value to him.
"You want to come back?" Zhao Wenkang narrowed his eyes at Lin Zhe. "But why should I believe you?"
Lin Zhe smiled slightly, "If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't come back in person."
Zhao Wenkang thought for a moment and then issued an order, "Alright, do something for me first, prove yourself."
This task of "proving loyalty" would be Lin Zhe's real test—if he failed, he would not only fail to infiltrate but also likely lose his life.
