Spy Wars: Strong Agents Who Are Ruthless and Talk Little

Chapter 131 What do you think of this project?

"There must be something fishy going on between Chen Jun and that man," Su Ming speculated. He quickly adjusted the focus of his glasses, and the built-in camera captured the man's facial features. The system quickly identified him as Jack Smith, a senior executive at a multinational corporation. He had been active internationally in recent years, with a significant amount of funds flowing into his account from unidentified sources.

"The contact between Chen Jun and Jack is indeed not simple." Su Ming's heart was alarmed. This discovery just confirmed the suspicion of the Shadow Bureau.

"Continue monitoring, try to capture their conversation," the command came from his headset. He picked up his drink, stood up, and pretended to go to the restroom. He avoided the bar's security cameras and entered a dimly lit corridor through a side door. From there, just a few meters from the private room, he activated the small device on his wrist and activated the monitoring function. The device immediately picked up the sounds inside the room and transmitted the conversation between Chen Jun and Jack to his headset.

"This transaction is very important. Are you sure there won't be any problems?" Jack's voice was low and anxious.

"Don't worry, I have made all the arrangements. The company's internal security system can't detect any abnormalities at all." Chen Jun seemed very confident.

"Very good. If you succeed, the reward this time will be enough for you to live a luxurious life for ten lifetimes." Jack smiled, his tone revealing an undeniable threat. "But if you fail, you know what the consequences will be."

Chen Jun shuddered slightly, then nodded, "I understand, I won't let you down."

Hearing this, Su Ming's brow furrowed slightly. It seemed that Chen Jun was not only selling company secrets, but was also involved in a deeper transaction, and the specific content of this transaction was likely the most critical goal of his trip.

"The operation is about to begin. Make sure to obtain evidence of the transaction." The Shadow Bureau's instructions were decisive and concise.

Su Ming realized time was running out; he needed to gather more intelligence before the operation began. He quickly deactivated his monitoring equipment, returned to the bar lobby, and quietly approached a vent at the back of the private room. Drawing on his years of experience as a spy, he expertly opened the vent panel and entered the narrow duct.

The ventilation duct led directly to the top of the box. Su Ming held his breath and moved carefully, making sure not to make any noise. He gradually approached the ceiling of the box and looked down through a small gap. He saw Chen Jun and Jack discussing a document.

"Is this the file you were talking about?" Jack opened the file and took a quick look at it.

"Yes, this document contains the company's latest technological research and development results. As long as we hand it over to you, we will be able to completely control the market." Chen Jun's voice was low, with a hint of excitement.

"Very good, but we need to verify the authenticity of this document." Jack's tone was cautious.

Su Ming knew that the next few minutes might be his best opportunity to obtain evidence. He adjusted the focus of the camera in his glasses, accurately capturing the contents of the document, and then transmitted these images to the Shadow Bureau's database for analysis via a covert wireless signal.

"The data is being analyzed, continue monitoring." The Shadow Bureau's instructions came through the headset.

Su Ming continued to remain vigilant, observing every move in the box. Jack took out a portable scanner and scanned the document page by page, obviously verifying the authenticity of the document. Su Ming secretly thanked himself for capturing the key scene in advance, otherwise he would lose important evidence when the document was retrieved. The scanner made a slight sound.

Su Ming began to investigate the target company.

Su Ming sat down in a nondescript cafe and ordered an Americano. Several documents lay spread out before him, seemingly studying a company report. In reality, his attention was focused on the invisible earphones in his ears, which were transmitting the Shadow Bureau's latest mission briefing.

"The target company, Tianheng Technology, is currently developing a new high-tech product. We suspect this product may involve state secrets or be used for illegal purposes. Your mission is to infiltrate the company, obtain detailed information about the product, and uncover the true intentions behind it."

Su Ming studied the document, but his mind was rapidly pondering the complexity of the mission. Tianheng Technology was a rapidly developing, emerging high-tech company in Haicheng, already making a name for itself within the industry. Their research focused on artificial intelligence and new materials, and they had reportedly recently received significant government funding. The company's internal security measures were rigorous, and Su Ming knew this mission would be no small feat.

"The first step to understanding the goal is to integrate into the goal." Su Ming said to himself silently.

He closed the folder and looked around. The cafe was empty, most of the customers focused on their laptops or phones, completely oblivious to the taciturn man. This atmosphere was exactly what he needed.

The next day, Su Ming had changed into a simple business suit and carried a black briefcase. He stood in front of the main entrance of the Tianheng Technology Building and looked up at the modern building. The towering glass curtain wall gleamed in the sunlight, and the building's sharp and simple lines gave it a strong sense of the future.

"This is the new battlefield." Su Ming thought to himself and walked in.

Tianheng Technology was hiring a project management consultant, and Su Ming's fake identity had been arranged in advance by the Shadow Bureau. With his years of deep understanding of business operations and extensive experience in disguise, Su Ming quickly passed the interview. A few days later, he officially joined the company as a member of the R&D department.

"Su Ming, welcome to Tianheng." HR Director Sister Liu shook his hand warmly. "The pace of work here may be relatively fast, but I believe with your experience you'll be able to adapt quickly. I'll integrate into the team as soon as possible." However, her mind was already racing, analyzing the surrounding environment.

He was assigned to an open-plan office, next to the R&D team's workspace. On Su Ming's desk were several monitors and technical documentation covering the company's current projects. While everything appeared to be proceeding smoothly, he had to be extremely cautious with every step.

Over the next few weeks, Su Ming gradually integrated into Tianheng Technology's daily routine. He quickly discovered that the company's internal management was extremely strict, especially regarding the extremely high level of confidentiality regarding R&D projects. All project-related information was encrypted, and only core team members had access to detailed information.

"What do you think of this project?" One day at noon, when Su Ming and his colleagues were having lunch in the company cafeteria, a colleague suddenly asked.
