283: Anonymous report letter

As the saying goes, the allure of profit is like a double-edged sword; it can drive people to greedily pursue it, disregarding all consequences.

When profit reaches 10%, it incites some people to stir, beginning to test the boundaries of morality and interest; when profit climbs to 50%, it causes certain individuals to completely lose their minds, daring to take risks for wealth, throwing caution to the wind; and when profit reaches 100%, in the eyes of these people blinded by greed, the law becomes a mere formality, they dare to unscrupulously trample all legal provisions, attempting to build their own “safe haven” with wealth; when profit soars to 300%, that is simply a crazy feast, they are not even afraid of the deterrence of the death penalty, like moths flying into a flame, they plunge into the abyss of pursuing exorbitant profits, completely disregarding the potential catastrophe that may await them.

And Hei and De Ming were, at this moment, deeply entangled in this dangerous web woven by enormous profits, unable to extricate themselves.

“Deliver, how could we not deliver!”

Hei frowned tightly, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and after a moment of contemplation, he said decisively.

“This kind of goods is not like ordinary items. If we lose trust once, they might not cooperate with us next time. This loss is not just one deal, but a continuous stream of wealth in the future. Tell the other side, arrange the delivery time for the day after tomorrow, at the usual location.”

Hei knew the special nature of the market for these contraband items. Missing this transaction could mean losing this important buyer, which would be a huge blow to their chain of interests.

“Understood, Boss!”

His subordinate respectfully responded, not daring to hesitate in the slightest, immediately turned to convey Hei’s instructions, his steps hurried… On the first day of the Supervisory Group’s arrival in Wanjing Star System, it quickly launched its operations, issuing a notice about the Supervisory Group through the Galaxy’s communication system, and appealing to citizens to bravely report.

This news was like a sudden storm, rapidly sweeping across the entire Wanjing Star System. Not only did the central area of Wanjing Star System receive the notice, but even its subordinate Galaxies also received this notice across hierarchical levels.

After all, for a Galaxy like Wanjing Star System, which was specially marked and full of suspicion, the Supervisory Group naturally had to adopt a special approach.

This operation aimed to comprehensively and deeply investigate potential illegal and irregular activities in Wanjing Star System, leaving no stone unturned.

Seeing this notice, De Ming’s expression instantly became extremely grim.

In his original plan, when This Galaxy Cluster’s Supervisory Group came down for inspection, it would at most focus on checking the central area of Wanjing Star System, and might only briefly inquire about the subordinate Galaxies.

After all, those subordinate Galaxies were, according to regulations, their responsibility in Wanjing Star System.

But now, the Supervisory Group had actually expanded its investigation scope to all subordinate Galaxies, which far exceeded his expectations.

No matter how slow De Ming was, he now completely understood that the people above clearly had a high degree of concern for Wanjing Star System and were targeting them.

This sudden situation made him feel an unprecedented panic.

Now, he was full of anxiety, and the only thing he could do was to hope that Hei would honestly listen to him, lie low for a while during this sensitive period, and not cause any further trouble, so as not to completely tear apart the web of interests they had jointly woven, exposing all their crimes.

He secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that Hei would understand the severity of the current situation and not act as recklessly as usual.

On the first day the announcement was issued, Wanjing Star System’s information reception system continuously flickered, and various feedback messages poured in like snowflakes.

Amidst these numerous messages, the Supervisory Group received a special anonymous tip-off letter.

When the Team Member responsible for information collation opened this tip-off letter and merely scanned a few lines of content, his expression instantly became solemn, and he quickly presented it to the Team Leader.

The Team Leader took the optical screen and looked at the tip-off letter, reading it meticulously word by word. As he read deeper, his expression grew increasingly serious, his brows furrowed tightly into a “ river” (Chuan) character.

The content of this tip-off letter was shocking, not only detailing various illicit acts of Wanjing Star System’s stationed Guard Division’s highest Commander and Deputy Commander, but even implicating Speaker De Ming.

From the reported information, almost all high-level leaders of the entire Wanjing Star System were involved in a major incident.

“Although it is currently impossible to confirm whether the specific situation described here is true, the level and number of officials involved are truly beyond imagination.”

The Team Leader stared at the tip-off letter, saying with a grave expression.

“The complexity and severity of this matter have far exceeded the scope of our dispatched Supervisory Group’s handling.”

He was very clear in his heart that if the situation described in the tip-off information was indeed true, it was by no means something they could easily handle. It would require This Galaxy Cluster’s Supervisory Group department to personally step forward, utilizing higher-level investigation methods and resources, to thoroughly investigate it.

The Team Leader slowly raised his head, his gaze stern as he scanned his surroundings, earnestly and cautiously instructing his Team Members.

“Let’s pretend we never saw this message. We absolutely must not let anyone in Wanjing Star System catch wind of it. In the coming period, everyone must discreetly conduct secret investigations and collect as much conclusive evidence as possible. Only then, when we report back to the higher-ups, can they make accurate decisions.”

The Team Leader knew that this incident was extremely sensitive, and a slight oversight could alert the enemy, leading the entire investigation into a stalemate.

“Understood!”

The Team Members responded in unison, their eyes revealing determination and focus.

Everyone deeply understood the seriousness of the matter, realizing the weighty responsibility they bore, and that there was no room for error.

“Team Leader, there’s another message. It says that tomorrow at X o’clock, on a certain planet in a certain Galaxy within Wanjing Star System, Wanjing Star System’s underworld forces will be trading key imperial contraband. What should we do…”

After speaking, everyone looked at their Team Leader, for if this message was true, they might very well catch the underworld forces hidden in Wanjing Star System, and then follow the clues to ascertain whether Wanjing Star System’s officials were involved in illegal activities.
