"Come in."
Bai He's steady voice came from inside the room.
Bai Chenxiang pushed open the door and led her team members into the room.
Bai He was sitting at a table, looking at the clan's business reports.
Seeing them enter, he put down the book in his hand and slightly raised his head.
"Xiang'er, you're back. Are you injured? Did you gain anything from this trip?"
Bai He's gaze fell on Bai Chenxiang, his eyes filled with concern and expectation.
Bai Chenxiang solemnly stepped forward, holding the package with both hands, and handed it to Bai He.
"Father, we found evidence that the traitor was colluding with the enemy."
A hint of excitement was in Bai Chenxiang's voice.
Bai He was slightly startled, then a golden light flashed in his eyes.
He took the package and slowly opened it. When he saw the blueprints and letters inside, his expression became serious.
"Where did you find these things?"
Bai He asked slowly, carefully examining the blueprints in his hand.
Bai Chenxiang then recounted in detail their discovery in the cave and their subsequent encounter with a group of millennium Spirit Beast wild boars.
"Father, we found this package in a corner of that cave. When we opened it, there were strange blueprints and a letter inside. We speculate that these belong to the traitor, and they contain various codes. I think they are their action plans and contact methods."
Bai Chenxiang said.
Bai He carefully looked at the blueprints and the letter, falling into deep thought.
After a while, he looked up at Bai Chenxiang and her team members.
"You did very well. This evidence is very important to us."
Bai He said.
"What do these blueprints say?"
Bai Chenxiang asked curiously.
"These are all codes. I don't understand what they mean either. They need to be given to the members of our investigation department to decipher."
Then, Bai He gave a look to a clan member nearby.
That clan member understood and stepped forward, taking the package from Bai He's hands with both hands, and left the meeting hall for the investigation department's workplace.
"You did very well. This evidence is very important to us."
Bai He said with a relieved smile.
Bai He nodded slightly:
"With this evidence, it can basically be proven that the person you are currently investigating is very likely a traitor. However, whether there will be more traitors is still unknown."
Bai Chenxiang asked:
"Then what should we do next? Should we go directly and arrest this traitor?"
Bai He nodded, his gaze firm:
"Arresting him is definitely necessary, but we cannot do so with great fanfare, in case there are other traitors who might hide if they know of our actions. So we need to arrest him quietly, trying not to let anyone know."
Bai Chenxiang also agreed, saying:
"Exactly, this way when we interrogate him, he can reveal more details. This will be beneficial for our investigation."
Bai He stood up and said to a clan member:
"You two immediately go to the head of the resource transport team and get this person's basic information. Remember! You must not make a sound."
"Yes!"
The two clan members took their orders and left.
The meeting hall fell into a brief silence.
Bai He looked at Bai Chenxiang and her team members, his eyes full of approval:
"Xiang'er, you have rendered great service this time. If we can successfully expose the traitor, it will be of great significance to our clan."
Bai Chenxiang bowed her head slightly:
"Father, this is what we should do."
"Yes, Clan Leader, we will spare no effort for the clan!"
Another team member echoed.
The two clan members, after receiving their orders, quickly headed to the head of the resource transport team.
Along the way.
Both maintained a high degree of vigilance, fearing to attract unnecessary attention.
One clan member said:
"There can be no mistakes in this mission. If the news gets out, it will be troublesome."
The other clan member nodded and said:
"Don't worry, we will act carefully. That traitor was hidden so deeply; if we hadn't found the evidence, we wouldn't know how much disaster he would have brought to our Speed Clan."
Soon, they arrived at the office of the head of the resource transport team.
The head was slightly surprised to see them:
"What brings you two here?"
One clan member said in a low voice:
"We are here by the Clan Leader's order to obtain some basic information about a certain person. This matter must not be divulged."
The head's heart tightened, knowing the matter was serious, and dared not ask more. He quickly rummaged through a pile of documents.
Soon, he pulled out a file and handed it to them.
The transport team head said softly:
"This is what you need. I hope it helps the Clan Leader."
One clan member took the file and nodded:
"Thank you. Do not mention this matter to anyone."
After speaking, the two quickly left and rushed back to the meeting hall to report to Bai He.
Returning to the meeting hall, the two handed the file to Bai He.
Bai Chenxiang and her team members stood quietly to the side, awaiting further developments.
Bai He opened the file and carefully reviewed its contents.
"This person holds an important position in the resource transport team, yet I never expected him to be a traitor." Bai He frowned slightly, his tone carrying a hint of anger. "From the file, he usually behaves in a very ordinary manner, making it hard for anyone to notice anything unusual."
Bai Chenxiang pondered for a moment and then said:
"Father, should we conduct a comprehensive investigation of the resource transport team? To prevent any other hidden traitors."
However, Bai He shook his head and said:
"Alright, you all have worked hard during this period. The rest will be handed over to the investigation department."
Bai Chenxiang looked confused and said somewhat anxiously:
"Why, Father! I participated in this entire operation, and I know many details about the traitor like the back of my hand. Why do you want me to withdraw at this critical moment?"
Bai He looked at Bai Chenxiang's anxious expression, and his demeanor softened.
He spoke earnestly:
"Xiang'er, don't be anxious. You have rendered great service this time, and I, your father, am very happy. But you must understand that exposing the traitor this time still requires careful consideration. Although you participated in the entire operation and understand a lot about the traitor, you are still young, and your experience is insufficient. The members of the investigation department are experienced; they are better at finding clues from subtle details and conducting comprehensive and in-depth investigations. Furthermore, catching a traitor is not a simple matter, as no one knows what kind of forces are supporting him from behind. If you continue to investigate, you might even put yourself in danger. Moreover, you have just gone through a lot and need time to rest and recover your energy. If you continue to participate, overworking yourself, it might instead affect your judgment."
Although Bai Chenxiang still felt unwilling after hearing her father's words:
"But…"
