Chapter 1183: Chapter 1183: There is a Traitor in the Gang

It was a fine day, and Lin Xi had arranged to go shopping with Qin Jia. Both women, having received their salaries, indulged in spending freely, reasoning that, since they had found good men to rely on, it didn’t matter if they spent all their wages in one go.

While carrying many shopping bags and laughing joyfully, Lin Xi suddenly sensed that someone was following them, but she kept her composure.

Normally, because Lin Xi and Qin Jia were such beauties, it was not uncommon for someone to follow them, so this time Lin Xi didn’t take it seriously and hoped the follower would leave on their own.

However, this time was different. The person had followed them all the way, and it seemed there was more than one person—there were followers behind, to the left, and to the right.

Lin Xi keenly realized this was a gang, and her heart sank. Could it be that they were sent by Organization X?

At that moment, Qin Jia also noticed something, "Lin Xi, have you noticed? No matter where we go, I keep seeing some of the same faces we saw earlier on the street."

"Yes, I’ve noticed too." Lin Xi inwardly scorned, their tracking skills were so poor that even Qin Jia had noticed them. It seemed they were not from Organization X.

For safety’s sake, Lin Xi called Gu Fan for backup, while also considering how to handle the situation.

Enough of this, Lin Xi thought, and turned around abruptly to sternly watch the followers behind them. Startled, the followers quickly pretended to admire their surroundings, but Lin Xi continued to glare at them, determined to show them she was aware of their presence.

Having been exposed, the followers beat a retreat. Lin Xi snorted coldly, her disdain for these people palpable.

At that moment, Lin Xi received a call from Su Hui and answered quickly, "Hello, Sister Su. Calling me during your work hours doesn’t sound like good news."

Su Hui sighed, "We’ve just intercepted a shipment of goods. Do you know who was responsible for transporting it?"

"It doesn’t involve me, does it?" Lin Xi became nervous. She knew Su Hui would not call out of the blue or mention this for no reason.

Su Hui added, "It’s Lin Yue’s gang, but currently we’ve only intercepted the goods and don’t have enough evidence. Otherwise, Lin Yue might be in trouble."

Lin Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh my God, Sister Su, you’ve reminded me. Keeping Lin Yue in that gang isn’t a good thing. I need to speed up getting him out of there."

"Lin Yue’s gang is clever. They were prepared for the possibility of the goods being intercepted. They paid a group of temps for the transport, and their contact was a foreigner who left the country the moment things went awry," Su Hui chuckled, not discouraged, "But this operation did reveal something—Lin Yue’s gang has our undercover agent, and it was he who tipped them off."

"All right, I understand, thank you, Sister Su." After ending the call, Lin Xi felt uneasy, not wanting Lin Yue to end up in prison because of this.

Meanwhile, Sister Hong was raging in her office, pointing at her subordinates and cursing, "You idiots, do I need to remind you how important that shipment was? Now it’s gone, and you know how much we’ve lost?"

Lin Yue was also present. Seeing Sister Hong so furious, he didn’t dare say a word, just bowed his head like the others.

After venting, Sister Hong dismissed them and warned that such a thing must not happen again, or they would all suffer severe consequences.

After her subordinates had left, one confidante returned, looking deeply troubled, "Sister Hong, I think there’s something off about this situation."

Sister Hong frowned, "What do you mean? Speak up."

The confidante spoke solemnly, "First, the police showed up just after our goods arrived, which clearly means they received reliable intel. So, we have either a traitor or an undercover cop among us. Second, only a few of us in the gang knew about this shipment. The lower members had no idea, and third, we used a middleman who hired some temporary workers. These temps didn’t know what they were transporting, so it’s unlikely any of them could have informed the police."

Hearing this, Sister Hong frowned deeper, finding the argument sound. She knew that no more than five people were aware of the transportation details, all likely loyal members who had greatly contributed to the gang, and she truly didn’t want to suspect any of them.

The confidante continued, "I’ve found out who led the interception of our goods— it was that policewoman, Su Hui."

"Her again?" Sister Hong grew anxious, as she recalled that Lin Xi, Lin Yue’s sister, knew Su Hui. It was possible that Lin Yue also knew her—could he be the one providing intel to Su Hui?

The confidante suggested another possibility, "I once worked under Brother Jin with Lin Yue, and more than once, Lin Yue asked Brother Jin if it was possible to switch to a different lifestyle, implying leaving the gang."

With this prompt, Sister Hong began to think. If Lin Yue was betraying the gang and feeding information to Su Hui, then he could sever ties with the gang when it fell.

"Have our people checked if Lin Yue’s sister is also a policewoman?" Sister Hong’s expression became tense and fierce, as a menacing aura emerged.

But the confidante shook his head, "We’ve been closely monitoring Lin Yue’s sister for some time and found that she’s just an ordinary office worker."

"An ordinary office worker, really?" Sister Hong looked skeptical; she had personally seen Lin Xi calmly drinking amidst a gang fight, something no ordinary office worker could manage.

"Keep digging. If it really is Lin Yue who betrayed us, we need solid evidence," Sister Hong always wanted to give Lin Yue another chance, not wishing her most reliable subordinate to turn into the biggest traitor overnight.

"Alright, Sister Hong, I’ll get on it right away," the confidante promised wholeheartedly, though a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes. He seemed envious of the special treatment Lin Yue received, so he was particularly eager to uncover something substantial.

Just as the confidante left Sister Hong’s office and closed the door, an idea struck him, "Even if I don’t find anything related to Lin Yue this time, I could concoct something to drive a wedge between Sister Hong and Lin Yue. That’s what I’ll do."

At this moment, Lin Yue was unaware that a storm was slowly forming around him, and his fate was about to change once again.
