At thirty, I started my comeback from the intelligence system.

Three pieces of intelligence instantly dispelled Chen Geng's sleepiness.

He hasn't been sleeping well for the past few days; even a tough guy like him can't keep up.

But I had no choice but to make myself a cup of instant coffee to make myself feel a little better.

The first piece of intelligence indicates that the international situation is becoming turbulent again.

He subconsciously thought of the quick money he had made from gold using intelligence, but then shook his head, realizing he had no interest in touching that stuff now.

This intelligence was more like background noise, reminding him that the outside world was still chaotic, and the undercurrents in Shenzhen were just one eddy in it.

The second one made Chen Geng frown. "Miranda Redfield? Joe Forest?"

Two completely unfamiliar names, and a long-forgotten love affair that took place in a distant foreign land half a century ago.

Why would the system provide such seemingly unrelated information? ...All of this seems unusual.

Could this have anything to do with him? Qiao Senlin… his surname is Qiao? It has nothing to do with his mother Cui Lanzhen's surname "Cui" or his father's surname "Chen". Chen Geng is certain that he has never heard of any of his relatives with the surname Qiao since he was a child.

The Redfield family? Miranda? They have absolutely no connection whatsoever.

Neither her ordinary family background nor her past experiences could be found to connect with these two names.

Was there a system error? Or... did this intelligence point to a deeper background or connection that I was unaware of? He shook his head, temporarily suppressing this perplexing intelligence in his mind, hoping that the fragments would piece together on their own someday.

The third piece of information gave him a sudden burst of energy!

Li Qianqian!

This greedy and foolish woman was indeed not content with just swindling me out of 300,000!

She actually secretly collected so much dirt on so many people!

This is simply... reaping what you sow!

But from another perspective, isn't this also a "knife" that is extremely sharp but may harm itself?

"System!" Chen Geng silently chanted in his mind, his gaze fixed on the third piece of information. "Provide analysis and guidance for this piece of intelligence."

A deep blue interface appeared, cool yet incredibly precise.

[Analysis command confirmed. Guidance provided regarding Intelligence 3:]

[1. Material Value: Most of the materials collected by Li Qianqian are circumstantial evidence, abnormal financial records, copies of suspicious contracts, and information on related parties. While they are difficult to form conclusive evidence on their own, they are extremely valuable as leads for whistleblowing or breakthroughs in investigations, especially those involving Lu Shiming, which are related to the Luohu District redevelopment project he is currently promoting. If they are detonated, they could trigger a chain reaction.]

[2. Risk Warning: Li Qianqian herself is a huge source of risk. She is on the verge of collapse, and her behavior is unpredictable. She may use these materials as leverage to blackmail herself, or she may recklessly sell them when she is desperate, causing chaos and possibly even dragging the host into it.]

[3. Action Recommendation: Ensure your own safety, sever ties with Li Qianqian, and prevent her from resorting to desperate measures.]

[It is recommended to choose an appropriate time and channel to subtly leak the information that "Li Qianqian is secretly collecting incriminating material on high-ranking officials, especially possessing key evidence against Lu Shiming" to Lu Shiming or his adversaries. To protect himself, Lu Shiming will undoubtedly take extreme measures against Li Qianqian immediately, framing her or even silencing her. To survive or retaliate, Li Qianqian will most likely retaliate by releasing the materials she possesses.]

[If Li Qianqian is investigated first, the information that she holds leverage over Lu Shiming and others can be anonymously disseminated, accelerating the outbreak of conflict between her and Lu Shiming, causing them to tear each other apart, and expanding the spoils of the attack.]

The system's analysis is clear and ruthless, outlining the advantages, disadvantages, and several possible paths.

Chen Geng leaned back on the sofa, his brain racing as he processed the information.

The idea of ​​using someone else to do one's dirty work... once it arises, it's hard to suppress.

Lu Shiming is Su Qingqing and Zhou Peng's backer, Mu Xueke's future rival, and the Lu family's sinister hand reaching into Hanfeng. Both publicly and privately, he is an enemy that Lu must bring down.

Li Qianqian is a venomous snake lurking nearby, greedy and vicious, and must be eliminated.

If we can let them fight like dogs...

He doesn't need to do it himself; he just needs to give it a gentle push at the right moment to light a fire.

For example, after the board meeting turmoil tomorrow?

Or, wait until Li Qianqian's embezzlement of the "Starry Sky" project's advance payment is about to be exposed?

The key is how to deliver the news that "Li Qianqian has something on Lu Shiming" to Lu Shiming's ears "naturally" and without arousing suspicion.

Through Su Qingqing?

No, that's too direct, and Su Qingqing might not even be that important.

Through Zhou Peng?

Perhaps, but Zhou Peng is currently in a precarious situation himself and is also very suspicious...

He thought of Mu Xueke!

According to Chen Geng's original plan, he intended to help Mu Xueke successfully overcome the crisis of the no-confidence motion at the board meeting on Monday.

If Mu Xueke uses Sun and Qian's weaknesses to thwart Lu Shiming, Lu Shiming will definitely hold a grudge and become even more wary of Mu Xueke's investigation.

At this time, he "accidentally" learned from a "reliable source" that Li Qianqian had even more explosive information that concerned Lu Shiming's lifeline... How will Mu Xueke use it?

Even if Mu Xueke remains inactive for the time being, this news itself is a huge threat and provocation to Lu Shiming.

Yes, the key lies in the way and timing of "handing over the knife".

I can't let Mu Xueke realize that I'm deliberately guiding her; I need to make her think that she "found it" or "obtained it by chance."

We also need to put enough pressure on Li Qianqian, making her feel that only by revealing information about Lu Shiming can she protect herself or seek revenge... We need to plan this carefully.

Xiao An is Mu Xueke's secret, and it hasn't been exposed yet. But after the Municipal Bureau's investigation, it would be too fake to pretend to know nothing.

Tomorrow, at the opportune moment, I must break the ice. Only then can I truly become Mu Xueke's confidant—no, her assistant, or even her ally!

He felt a chill mixed with excitement. This was no longer a simple act of self-defense or revenge, but a true scheming and game of strategy.

Every step must be taken with utmost care.

He glanced out the window at the still-dark night; there were still several hours until dawn.

After turning over, Chen Geng finally fell asleep peacefully.

It was 5 a.m. outside the interrogation room of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Even in the sleepless city police building, this time of day is the most tiring and the most easily relaxed moment of the day.

Under the bright lights, the eyes of the police officers who had been working late were bloodshot, and the strong aroma of coffee could not suppress the pervasive weariness.

Outside of the area temporarily assigned to the "Sea Dragon" unit, the corridor was quiet.

Although the military has taken full control of the case, given that Chang Le had previously been in contact with the suspect and that his abilities as a top psychological negotiation expert in the city bureau are already widely recognized, the military is still considering the case.

Therefore, with Lang Hehe's tacit approval, Chang Le was allowed to conduct a new round of psychological pressure on Lu Jiahao, accompanied by military personnel, in an attempt to pry him open up...
