Chapter 321 Commendation
Although Boss Jin was definitely a true "enemy," it was still hard to accept that he was chopped up after they had just been together, only a minute before Han Che and the others came out.
Han Che clenched his fists. Xiao Bai nudged his arm silently beside him. Han Che took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions, and continued listening.
"The perpetrators have been identified as four enemy agents who planted spies within our black-clad group. Two have been killed, and the other two are seriously injured and are currently under interrogation."
Han Che's mind went blank again. The man in black? He quickly filled in the blanks with the details of what had happened.
When Boss Jin came out of the portal, according to the rules, the men in black should have been responsible for meeting and escorting him. However, four people who wanted to kill him were mixed in with the people escorting him.
Those spies were mixed in with the men in black, just waiting for the right moment to strike.
No wonder it was such a scene when he and Qi Yuzhe came out; those men in black exuded a murderous aura the whole time…
It turned out that the murderous aura wasn't directed at him and Qi Yuzhe, but at the other men in black present, as they were on guard against potential spies, fearing that such a thing might happen again.
"The head of the association who arranged the list of participants for the Zero Dam project committed suicide by poisoning himself at his residence an hour ago, and his family members, wife and children, have all disappeared."
"A search of his home confirmed that 16 members of the Joker gang had arranged the operation for him, but all the evidence, including his motives, was destroyed and could not be verified."
"Announcement complete."
After he finished speaking, the conference room was quiet for a few seconds. In those few seconds, you could hear the sound of the air conditioner blowing from above.
Moments later, the entire conference room erupted in chaos.
The chair legs scraped on the ground, people turned to each other and whispered, and occasionally someone would raise their voice and shout "How is this possible?" before realizing it was inappropriate for the occasion and quickly lowering their voice.
The huge conference room instantly turned into a chaotic mess.
None of the leaders on the stage spoke up to stop it, nor did anyone bang on the table to maintain order.
They just sat there, deliberately giving the people below time to process the information, because they knew that when they first learned of this series of news, they were even angrier than this.
Han Che turned his head and asked Xiao Bai in a low voice, "Boss Jin is dead? He came out a minute earlier than us."
Xiao Bai nodded, then whispered in his ear, "He came out less than a minute before you. He was surrounded by those men in black as soon as he stepped out of the square. They were going to take him away, but then four of them suddenly pulled out guns."
"The other men in black immediately returned fire, and a fight broke out on the spot. The gunfight lasted only a dozen seconds, and even before the four men fell, they did not give up and continued to stab Boss Jin with their daggers."
"The person died on the spot, and the security level was immediately raised by one level. Now the Men in Black are conducting a full screening of all their members."
Han Che frowned, then leaned close to Xiao Bai's ear, "Inside Dam Zero, Boss Jin said that all of this was the work of the Bald Eagle Association!"
Xiao Bai's expression froze for a moment before returning to normal. "I guessed so. The authorities must have thought of it that way too, but now all the relevant people have been cut off."
"The Joker Gang leader has gone astray, Boss Kim, who knew the plan, is dead, and the manager who arranged for the Joker Gang to enter the venue committed suicide by poisoning himself and his entire family is gone."
"The remaining ordinary members of the Joker gang are just cannon fodder; they know nothing." She paused here, "Now the entire chain of evidence is broken. As long as the Bald Eagles deny everything, there's nothing anyone can do."
Qiu Ying peeked over from the other side and said, "To put it bluntly, now there's no way to prove anything. All the people who knew are dead, and the idiots who didn't know are still alive. The other side really pulled off a clean and efficient move."
Bang bang bang!
At that moment, several dull knocking sounds came from the platform.
Someone tapped the table with their knuckles, the sound penetrating, and within seconds, the noise in the room receded like a receding tide.
Everyone turned to look at the center of the stage.
The overweight, balding head of the department stood up, placed his hands on the table, and leaned slightly forward.
The amiable expression on his face had disappeared at some point, and now he looked rather dignified.
Without a prepared statement, he began, "Ladies and gentlemen, this incident has already caused a very negative impact. I have gathered you all here today to clarify a few things."
"First, although there is no conclusive evidence pointing to a specific organization in this incident, the official preliminary assessment is that it was the work of foreign infiltration forces. Enemy forces have extended their infiltration into the government! And even into the Men in Black! This situation is extremely egregious and extremely serious. Going forward, all organizations, including the clubs present here, must strengthen their internal reviews. I do not want this to happen again."
"Of course, the authorities will also do their utmost to investigate and crack down on this, and we ask everyone to actively cooperate with the official investigation."
He paused, glanced around the room, and then continued.
"Second," the man said, glancing towards the first row below the stage, in the direction of the group from Club 78.
"I've seen the battle at Dam Zero. The 78 Club has been performing brilliantly lately, and their performance in this battle was textbook-perfect. They defeated the enemy forces with fewer troops, which is truly gratifying."
As he said this, he suddenly clapped his hands twice.
The applause sounded particularly abrupt in the quiet conference room. We were just talking about the infiltration of foreign forces, how did it suddenly turn to this?
Several people on the platform next to him paused for a moment, then clapped twice as well.
Then a few scattered applause broke out in the hall, but the atmosphere was clearly not lively.
Han Che could feel the gazes coming from all directions, the meaning of which was hard to discern. The applause quickly stopped.
"The specific details of the commendation still need to be discussed. However, our department has made a preliminary decision that the strength of Club 78, especially the strength of these two operators, is fully worthy of being a top-tier club. I will use this as the basis for my application to report to my superiors and promote Club 78 to a top-tier club."
The moment those words were spoken, time seemed to stand still in the entire conference room.
The subtle noises that had been there just moments before vanished, and everyone wore an expression that said, "Did I hear that wrong?"
Even the people on the podium were visibly stunned, their expressions showing shock. Clearly, this news had not been discussed and was the first time they had heard it.
Then, discussion broke out again in the conference room.
"Comrade Chairman, this matter should be carefully considered and discussed again..." The chairmen of the two top clubs on the podium all spoke up to dissuade him.
The elegant UN representative, Su Lingyi, was even more direct: "What makes a small organization with only a few people a top club? What qualifications do they have? They're not even worthy of being on the UN's level!"
