Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 248 Find the traitor!

"Then, Chairman Zhao, what should we do next? After all, the Wang family is one of the four families with a history of thousands of years. The depth of their foundation and connections is beyond our imagination."

I'm a little worried that the Wang family's subsequent retaliation might be far more severe than we imagine.

As he spoke, a hint of worry flashed across Yu Yang's face.

"Not really."

Zhao Zhen shook his head calmly.

"Now that the country is in peril and foreign enemies are at the forefront, no one dares to defy the world at this critical juncture. This applies to us and the Wang family as well."

Even if they wanted revenge, they would only do some underhanded tricks behind the scenes. They wouldn't dare to openly break off relations.

If they really did that, the Wang family would become the next Thirty-Six Thieves!

As he spoke, a look of seriousness gradually flashed in Zhao Zhen's eyes.

"However, our primary concern right now is not the Wang family, but that mole within our ranks."

"A mole? Chairman Zhao, do you mean the person who secretly informed the Wang family and the Shuzi Sect about Ma Ben's presence?"

"Ah."

Zhao Zhen nodded.

"Yes, no matter what, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark."

But Chairman Zhao, where do you think this mole might be hiding?

"Besides you and me, who else was involved in taking Ma Ben into their care?"

"Not many. There's also the person in charge in Sichuan. After all, we need to have our people make preparations for the reception and follow-up work in advance."

"Who do you think it could be?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yang immediately fell silent.

After a long while, he finally spoke slowly.

"Chairman Zhao, to be honest, I don't think it will be one of our people."

First of all, I carefully selected these regional leaders; they are all absolutely qualified in terms of character and loyalty.

Secondly, what benefit would we gain from revealing this to the Wang family and the Shuzi Sect? Is it simply to trip us up?

“What you said makes sense. Of course I don’t want problems to arise among our own people, but we still need to follow the proper procedures.”

"Chairman Zhao, couldn't it be that there's a problem within Tiangongtang itself?"

"Anything is possible, so after returning from Sichuan, I went to Tiangong Hall and told Master Mo about it."

Judging from his reaction at the time, it didn't seem like he was faking it.

Moreover, the victims were disciples of their Heavenly Craft Hall. Why would they do such a thing?
If they really wanted Ma Ben and the others dead, why bother coming to us in the first place?

After hearing this, Yu Yang couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"I understand, Chairman Zhao, but who should be assigned to investigate this matter?"

"Let Huaiyi go."

“Master Zhang…” Yu Yang was slightly taken aback.

"But what about Master Zhang and the others..."

"I know what you're trying to say. Huaiyi and the others are still being hunted down. Sending them out would be like sending them into a trap."

"Ah."

"Yu Yang, why do you think I created the temporary worker position in the first place?"

"Oh? There really is such a position? I thought you just mentioned it casually, Mr. Zhao, and made up some random identity for them..."

"Nonsense! Do you think I'm that bored?"

Zhao Zhen rolled her eyes, looking annoyed.

"The existence of temporary workers is precisely to allow special people to do special things. Temporary workers are versatile because they can use all the company's resources within the permitted scope."

However, procedurally they do not belong to the company because they are not formally employed.

Just like Huaiyi and his group, their identities are shady, but their abilities are absolutely unquestionable.

Therefore, it is most appropriate to let him handle this matter.

"I see, it's all thanks to Chairman Zhao!"

Yu Yang gave Zhao Zhen a deep look, his eyes filled with sincere admiration.

Zhao Zhen walked to the desk and picked up a file.

"Huaiyi went to visit Ma Benzai and Zhao Tianhai, right? How is Zhao Tianhai's injury recovering?"

With Miss Duanmu, a top-notch doctor, his injuries naturally healed quickly.

Previously, Zhao Tianhai was mainly suffering from exhaustion and a recurrence of old injuries, coupled with excessive grief. Miss Duanmu stabilized him with her prepared sedative medicine.

During this time, Zhao Tianhai had been vowing to personally avenge his enemies, and his emotions... were very agitated.

Yu Yang reported.

“Let him hate, and that hatred can be turned into motivation, but someone also needs to guide him.”

After a moment's thought, Zhao Zhen continued, "The R&D department must get up and running immediately."

Ma Benzai is a talented individual; his weapon-forging skills can bring about a qualitative change for us.

Only by demonstrating results can we stabilize public sentiment and have the hard power to withstand future changes.

Issue a notice: the resources needed by the R&D department are hereby specially approved!
"Prioritize this matter to the highest degree; money is not an issue."

After saying that, Zhao Zhen slowly walked to the table, picked up a pen, crossed out the name "Wang Family" on it, and then wrote the words "traitor" heavily next to it.

"We have launched an internal investigation, focusing on key points in the information flow between Tiangongtang and our company."

Let's start by tracing the source of the information from 'No. 66 Xiaolong Street'. Who at Tiangongtang handled this letter?

On our side, which links in the message transmission chain might be compromised?

Tell Huaiyi not to overlook any detail.

Zhao Zhen's tone turned cold, and her gaze sharpened like a knife.

"You cowardly rats, do you really think I can't do anything to you if you hide in the shadows and shoot arrows at me?"

Finding the person who leaked the information will at least give Ma Benzai and Zhao Tianhai some closure!

Yu Yang looked at Zhao Zhen and saw that he had put a big question mark after the word "traitor" and marked it with the character "Tang" and the character "Lu?" next to it. A look of doubt flashed in Yu Yang's eyes.

"Chairman Zhao, what's going on?"

"It's okay, you go ahead and do your work. I need to calm down by myself."

"Yes."

After Yu Yang left, Zhao Zhen stared at the note on the table and fell into deep thought.

As long as Xu Xin is alive, the Tang Clan and Na Du Tong will become a de facto community of shared destiny.

Therefore, the Tang Clan will only be a friend, not an enemy, to Na Du Tong.

But now that the Wang family has been completely offended, another force has to be taken into consideration – the Lü family.

Of the four families, the Lü and Wang families have always been on good terms, especially Wang Ai and Lü Ci, who have been inseparable since childhood.

Although it is true that I did do the Lü family a favor back then, how much of a role can those small favors play in the face of absolute interests?

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but rub his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

"The New Year is almost here... After the New Year, this war will be almost over."

But for Nadutong, the next few years will probably be the most difficult time...
