The office building and the warehouse are located together, featuring a separate courtyard. While the office space is modest in size, the warehouse spans tens of thousands of square meters. To avoid raising any suspicions from outsiders, they also engage in legitimate import and export activities.


    During the day, nearly a thousand individuals arrived at Moore Trade, which was indeed quite conspicuous. However, Wu Shutong was unfazed and did not caution anyone to disguise their presence. In his view, since it was an open operation, there was no longer any need for concealment—especially since he believed this ce would soon lose its relevance.


    Currently, Duke Mining has ceased to exist. Logically, all personnel here should be gathered and eliminated to erase any traces of the Moro connection.


    However, this situation differs from what urred in Cyprus. The enemy vanished without a trace there, likely escaping via the sea. As a result, the Poqing Society opted not to pursue Charlie Wade’s whereabouts. This time, though, Sara could no longer tolerate the uncertainty and was determined to track down Charlie Wade in Moro, giving Moore Trade some temporary value.


    Despite this fleeting usefulness, Wu Shutong believed there was only one remaining mission here. Regardless of whether they could uncover any clues, once this matter concluded, Moore Trade would no longer have any reason or opportunity to continue operating. Thus, he felt no need to maintain any pretense.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    At that moment, Dong Mingchao, the special envoy of Moore Trade, was feeling quite anxious. Earlier in the day, seven to eight hundred people had arrived in session, and they were now all lined up in the warehouse, creating an impressive scene.


    His deputy leaned in and whispered nervously, “Sir, isn’t it too reckless to have these peoplee here in broad daylight? What if someone sees us? Won’t we be exposed?”<fn5d8e> This text is hosted at find(?)ovel</fn5d8e>


    “Exposed?” Dong Mingchao replied with a wry smile. “The house has already copsed; what’s the use of having an empty gate standing amidst the ruins? In other words, with the house gone, what purpose does the gate serve?”


    Understanding his point, the deputy quickly asked, “What will the higher-ups do to us?”


    Dong Mingchao shook his head and replied, “That’s uncertain. Right now, we must coborate with them to find clues about those individuals. After this situation unfolds, we might be reassigned or even executed, but we definitely can’t remain here any longer.”


    “Execution?!” The deputy’s face turned pale. “We haven’t done anything wrong; they wouldn’t execute us, would they?”


    Dong Mingchao expressed his concerns, saying, “Who can truly say? The organization has always been ruthless in its decisions, and the secrets between various bases are tightly guarded. Even if other bases arepromised, it’s difficult for us to know. However, if we are reassigned to other bases, it would mean that the news of Duke Mining’s downfall has leaked. Do you think the organization is willing to take that risk?”


    The deputy quickly countered, “But they’re undergoing significant changes right now. Aren’t they worried that the Cavalry Guards being exchanged might also share secrets about the other bases?”


    Dong Mingchao answered, “What secrets could be exchanged? Where are their respective bases? What does it matter? They can’t just leave after being exchanged. Even if they learn the locations of the ten bases outside, their personal freedoms are severely restricted, and they have no contact with the outside world. We are cut off from them; why worry about them leaking secrets?”


    He continued, “Moreover, these individuals have families in other garrisons. Even if they had the chance to divulge organizational secrets, they would be too afraid to do so.”


    At this point, Dong Mingchao paused sadly and said, “We are different. We are fully aware of everything that transpired at Duke Mining. This information must not circte within the organization, as it would severely damage morale and undermine the authority of the organization. If I were the British leader, I would certainly not allow such scandals to be exposed elsewhere…”


    The deputy, pale with fear, eximed, “Sir, what should we do now?! We can’t just sit here and wait to die, can we?”


    Dong Mingchao retorted, “Aside from sitting here and waiting for our fate, do you have any better ideas?”


    The deputy fell silent, realizing they had no real power to resist in this situation.


    With a sigh, Dong Mingchao remarked, “No matter how you look at it, the people from Duke Mining were the luckiest. They managed to escape with their families before the upheaval. If they can avoid this wave of scrutiny, they can breathe easy!”


    His deputy couldn’t help butment, “Why can’t we have such good fortune…”


    Just then, a subordinate rushed in, announcing nervously, “Special Envoy! The Grand Commander has arrived!”
