Chapter 155 He is actually an undercover agent

Zhang Beichen was captured in a laboratory on a deserted island. How did he escape?

Zhang Beichen began to tell the three of them about his escape experience.

The deserted island night was like a vast black curtain, shrouding the laboratory in a mysterious and oppressive atmosphere. Zhang Beichen stood in a corner of the lab, feeling a surge of unease. He was surrounded by a group of armed guards, their cold guns pointed at him, as if ready to pull the trigger at any moment. Zhang Beichen's heart was practically pounding out of his chest.

There was a hint of coldness and ruthlessness in the guards' eyes, as if they were waiting for his resistance. Zhang Beichen frowned slightly, and various possible escape plans kept flashing through his mind.

"Tell us everything you know." A cold voice came from the guards, carrying a hint of unquestionable command.

Zhang Beichen was silent for a moment, and a trace of determination and resolve flashed through his mind.

"I don't know anything." There was a hint of calmness and fearlessness in his voice.

The guards looked at each other, and a strong feeling of dissatisfaction surged in their hearts.

"You'd better tell the truth, otherwise you will bear the consequences." Another guard said coldly, with a hint of threat and warning in his voice.

Zhang Beichen smiled slightly, with a hint of calmness and composure on his face.

"I don't know anything." There was a hint of calmness and fearlessness in his voice.

At this moment, the lights in the lab suddenly went out, plunging the entire lab into darkness. Zhang Beichen was overjoyed, knowing he had found his chance to escape. He quickly stepped back, a strong conviction welling up in his heart: he must escape.

The guards seemed a little panicked in the dark. They didn't know where Zhang Beichen had gone, and a strong sense of unease surged in their hearts.

Zhang Beichen took the opportunity to rush to a secret door in the laboratory, which was the secret escape route he had discovered earlier.

"Don't let him run away!" The guards shouted and chased after Zhang Beichen.

Zhang Beichen rushed towards the secret door quickly. A flash of inspiration came to his mind and he quickly entered a password. The secret door slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to an underground secret passage.

"Hurry, follow me!" Zhang Beichen whispered, with a hint of urgency and nervousness in his voice.

Zhang Beichen advanced along the secret passage, passing through a series of winding passages. The air inside was damp and chilly, as if concealing his whereabouts. The guards were hot on his heels. Just then, a ray of light suddenly appeared at the end of the secret passage, as if it was an exit to the outside world. Zhang Beichen's heart was filled with joy, and he quickly rushed towards the exit.

Zhang Beichen successfully escaped from the deserted island laboratory and arrived at a desolate beach. The sea breeze caressed his cheeks, and the air was filled with a faint salty smell, as if celebrating his successful escape. He sat on the beach, and Zhang Beichen's heartbeat gradually calmed down at this moment.

Zhang Beichen walked along the beach and came to a hidden rock. Behind the rock was a small boat. He quickly jumped onto the boat. The boat moved slowly on the sea, and the sea breeze gently brushed Zhang Beichen's cheek.

The neon lights of the city flickered in the distance, as if guiding the way forward for Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei. The three sat in Zhang Wanqing's father's old apartment, listening to Zhang Beichen's story.

"Dad, what exactly do you do? Can you tell us?" There was a hint of sob and confusion in Zhang Wanqing's voice.

Zhang Beichen was silent for a moment, as if hesitating about something. After a moment, he slowly spoke, his voice carrying a hint of heaviness and helplessness.

"Actually, I joined the criminal group as an undercover agent." Zhang Beichen's voice was calm and fearless.

"Dad, but you are just a university professor. Why do you want to be an undercover agent? Why do you want to do this?" Zhang Wanqing asked in confusion.

"Because the police discovered that the scale and influence of this criminal group far exceeded their imagination. This criminal group uses cultural output and digitization to control people's thoughts and even remotely manipulate their brains. Their criminal methods are sophisticated, and they have powerful forces behind them. Therefore, the police asked me for help, and I had to delve into their ranks to find the evidence to destroy them."

"Dad, have you found any clues?" Zhang Wanqing asked.

"Yes, I found some key clues. These clues are sufficient to prove the crimes of this criminal group and can also provide strong support for your investigation." Zhang Beichen nodded slightly, with a hint of relief and pride on his face.

Her father's words concealed countless secrets. However, Zhang Wanqing was thankful that her father wasn't part of the criminal gang they had seen. He was still the cultured, upright father she had always imagined. Furthermore, her father had risked his life to infiltrate the criminal gang and gather evidence for the police. The word "father" was once again elevated in Zhang Wanqing's heart.

"Dad, we have obtained some evidence, and Siyuan has already passed it to his companions. This criminal group will be completely destroyed soon. We will also help you!" Zhang Wanqing's eyes were already filled with tears.

"Wanqing, the evidence you have is not enough to completely destroy them. They are high-IQ criminals, and it is not as simple as you think. Now, I have a plan to destroy this high-IQ criminal group." There was a hint of calmness and fearlessness in Zhang Beichen's voice.

"Dad, what's your plan?" Zhang Wanqing's voice was filled with anticipation.

"First, we need to find the core members of this criminal group and understand their methods and plans. Then, we can use this information to develop a detailed action plan to catch them all."

"Uncle, how do we find the core members?" Fu Siyuan asked.

"I have obtained some clues that can help me find their hiding place. The police will fully cooperate with us, so we must unite to destroy this criminal group," said Zhang Beichen.

"Uncle, you are old and should be enjoying your life, but you are still working hard for the police. I, a former policeman, must salute you!" Li Wei said, giving Zhang Beichen a standard salute.

"You are Li Wei, right? I heard Wanqing talk about you. You are not out of date at all. You are brave and resourceful, but your personality is not suitable for working in the police station within the system. Wanqing said that you solved many important cases and the mayor wanted you to return to the police station to work and take up an important position, but it was you who didn't want to go back. Li Wei, your integrity and courage are your strengths! I admire them too!" Zhang Beichen praised Li Wei, and Li Wei was actually a little embarrassed.

"Oh oh oh, is this still Li Wei? Li Wei, aren't you always talkative? Why did you become shy in front of my dad today?" Zhang Wanqing joked with Li Wei.

"I... I just met Professor Zhang and I respect him very much. So I dare not... dare not say anything careless. Hahaha, Zhang Wanqing, stop laughing at me, you and I are the same..." Li Wei said.

"Okay, okay, everyone stop laughing at Li Wei. We still have important things to do. When this case is over, I will treat everyone to a meal." Zhang Beichen said.

"Li Wei, my alcohol tolerance is average, only 4 taels. How about you?" Zhang Beichen asked Li Wei.

"Professor Zhang, oh, no, Uncle Zhang, I drink half a catty, but I can drink a little more. What's it called... well... when you meet a good friend, a thousand cups are never enough!" Li Wei replied.

"Hahahaha...hahaha..." The laughter of four people echoed in the apartment.

Zhang Wanqing felt that she hadn't felt so relaxed in a long time.
