Chapter 5: Psychological Warfare at the Clinic

As dusk settled, Lin Mo arrived at Chen Wen's clinic. This building was located in the suburbs, surrounded by silence. The clinic was dimly lit with a faint yellow glow, and a subtle scent of sandalwood filled the air. Chen Wen sat in his large office chair, leisurely watching Lin Mo enter. "You're here, Detective Lin." Chen Wen smiled slightly and gestured for Lin Mo to sit down. "Su Qing was too foolish. She thought handing the item to you would let her escape." "Did you kill Su Qing?" Lin Mo asked directly. "No, I never get my own hands dirty." Chen Wen wagged a finger. "I only point the way. Gu Dehai was the one who didn't want the secret exposed." According to Chen Wen, the chemical plant accident ten years ago was no accident. It was an arson case orchestrated by Gu Dehai to claim a huge insurance payout. Su Qing had recently found the core financial evidence from that time and was using it to blackmail Gu Dehai. "The USB drive contains the evidence." Chen Wen's eyes gleamed with fervor. "Give me the password, Lin Mo. With it, we can destroy Gu Dehai and get everything we desire." "What is the password?" Lin Mo asked tentatively. "Where it all began." Chen Wen stared at Lin Mo. "It's the founding date of the chemical plant. But Su Qing changed the last two digits. Only you know them."
