Ste’s face showed her skepticism and shock.
“What kind of traitor would be in our research institute?”
Hannah’s voice turned stern.
“A traitor who stole research from Professor Campbell.

Crash!
The sound of ssware shing echoed.
It was the first time Ste couldn’t keep the instrument steady, and she nearly broke it.
No longer detached, Ste asked in astonishment, “Who is the traitor?”

Around 7:30, a luxury car pulled up outside a restaurant.
The two swindlers exited the car first, followed by a slender man.
“Here we are,” one of them announced.
“The sucker is already inside.
Let’s go.
”
Phoenix hesitated at the entrance; his legs felt like lead.
The swindlers walked ahead and, noticing Phoenixgging, turned back with a frown.
One of them grabbed Phoenix’s arm.
“Come on, why are you just standing there?”
Phoenix adjusted his sses, unsure, and admitted, “I think… This isn’t a good deal.
”
Upon hearing this, one of the conmen became irritated.
“You mean you won’t help us? We’ve already transferred 5 million dors to you today! How can you back out now? Listen, if you pay us 1@ million, we’ll let you go immediately.
”
How could he possiblye up with that much money?
Now he finds himself in a dilemma.
“Don’t intimidate him.
”
Another man approached and reassured Phoenix, patting him on the back.
“Don’t be nervous.
I’m not asking you to lie.
You know this project well.
