Zhou Yu arrived at the prison and met with Lin Weidong.
Upon seeing each other, Zhou Yu said helplessly, "Old Lin, I'm not part of the Shadow Organization. How would I know how much of what they say is true and how much is false?"
"If you wanted to ask someone, you should have asked Ouyang Feng."
Lin Weidong laughed heartily, patted Zhou Yu's shoulder, and said, "I trust your intuition. I brought you here to get a feel for things, and to discuss how to get Zhang Deshuang to talk."
In the past two days, as the Shadow Organization members were apprehended.
The Zhang family had also started to panic, putting pressure on the Dragon Group.
No matter what, Zhang Deshuang was the head of the Zhang family.
Even if he had stormed the new recruit training base, it could be masked as concern for his beloved son.
It wasn't ideal for the Dragon Group to keep him detained indefinitely.
Of course, Lin Weidong had not yet responded to the Zhang family's pressure.
However, the pressure on the Dragon Group was increasing.
Following this trend, Zhang Deshuang would not be held by the Dragon Group for much longer.
At that point, whether he was returned to the Zhang family or transferred elsewhere, there would be no more opportunities for interrogation.
Therefore, Lin Weidong had to quickly learn about the Shadow Organization's plans, personnel distribution, and other details from Zhang Deshuang's mouth.
"Old Lin truly treats me as free labor."
Zhou Yu and Lin Weidong walked into the interrogation room, one after the other.
Inside, they saw.
The only mid-level member of the Shadow Organization caught in this batch was sitting there.
His limbs were bound to the chair, and his face was covered in blood and dirt.
From the man's face, Zhou Yu saw only one emotion: indignant sorrow.
However, it was understandable.
In the Shadow Organization, this person was a mid-level leader, after all.
He had been living a comfortable life.
Then, while performing a clean-up operation, he was apprehended by the Dragon Group and subjected to various interrogations.
Although Zhou Yu had not experienced the Dragon Group's interrogation process, he could tell from the increasingly grim expressions of Zhang Deshuang and his son that it was not simple.
These Shadow Organization members did not believe they were doing anything wrong.
Therefore, they felt that the Dragon Group had disrupted their good lives.
"Now, repeat what you've confessed today," Lin Weidong instructed as he entered.
Despite his indignant sorrow, the Shadow Organization member, with his life in the hands of the Dragon Group, dared not resist.
So, he could only take a deep breath and begin to slowly recount.
"Our team appeared in Yunhai City to perform a clean-up operation."
"The previous location where we were stationed still housed a large quantity of medicine and money that needed to be moved out. Our task was to guard the warehouse until higher-ups sent people to retrieve the items."
"We communicate with our superiors through the Shadow Organization's unique machines..."
As the Shadow Organization member spoke, Lin Weidong placed a device resembling a pager in front of Zhou Yu.
"This is the machine he mentioned. We tried to decipher it, but it was useless."
The Dragon Group members were completely stumped by this communication device.
This communicator did not send information through ordinary signal bands or cell towers.
Instead, it sent messages through its own satellite!
This made it impossible for the Dragon Group members to trace.
Furthermore, when they had acted to apprehend this Shadow Organization team, their actions had been too conspicuous.
This had alerted the higher-ups of the Shadow Organization.
Therefore, the unique frequency band of the captured team had been immediately deactivated.
Now, the Dragon Group couldn't even begin to decipher the communication content between the Shadow Organization members.
They couldn't even send any information out.
This communicator, held in hand, was now like scrap metal!
Zhou Yu found it somewhat novel. He picked up the communicator and examined it from all angles. After a while, he looked up and asked.
"Do you have any other means of contact besides this communicator?"
The man shook his head.
The Shadow Organization had a very clear hierarchy.
Besides this communicator, only those in higher positions used coded messages and tokens to contact them.
But they themselves could not unilaterally contact their superiors, or even other teams.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but frown.
It seemed that the capture of this team would be of little help in investigating the Shadow Organization.
Because the information they could provide was very superficial and already outdated.
The Dragon Group had no use for this information!
"Based on your estimation, what is the financial capacity of the Shadow Organization?" Zhou Yu continued to ask.
The man was silent for a moment, which was rare.
He was mainly trying to estimate in his mind what level it would be considered.
After a short while, the man gently shook his head, "From what I've come into contact with, they should be wealthier than top-tier families."
The bonuses distributed to those at their level were quite substantial.
Furthermore, the Shadow Organization also maintained a special unit called the Judgment Squad.
It consisted entirely of powerful martial artists.
They were specifically tasked with dealing with those who attempted to leak information or betray the Shadow Organization.
So, a rough estimate placed them as no weaker than those top-tier families.
The Dragon Group members present, including Lin Weidong, all furrowed their brows.
Their foreheads felt as if they bore the imprint of a fearsome horseshoe!
The more powerful the Shadow Organization became, the worse the news was for the Dragon Group.
"One last question, why did you risk your life for the Shadow Organization? Did you know about their dark dealings?"
Zhou Yu suddenly asked.
This was a question the Dragon Group had not asked before, and it genuinely bewildered them.
The Dragon Group members beside him also showed surprised expressions.
In their opinion, this person had reached a mid-level position within the Shadow Organization.
Of course, he would know about their dealings.
Working for the Shadow Organization was purely for financial gain.
After all, people die for wealth, and birds die for food.
"To be honest, before I was apprehended, I had no idea what the Shadow Organization meant. I thought it was a pharmaceutical group."
"During my time working for the Shadow Organization, I did notice that this pharmaceutical group was not legitimate, but I had already participated in multiple transactions and there was no turning back."
"As for why, it was for money at first, and later because there was no turning back."
The man smiled bitterly.
As for the Shadow Organization's horrifying actions of using martial artists for experiments and creating monsters,
The man had heard about them from the Dragon Group members.
"Mhm, I have no more questions," Zhou Yu nodded. Judging by his expression, this answer had not surprised him.
However, the Dragon Group members beside him were greatly shocked!
They knew that this person had reached a mid-level position, a small leader in the Shadow Organization.
Yet, he had been kept in the dark.
This meant that many of the Shadow Organization's foot soldiers might not even know which force they were serving.
If Zhou Yu hadn't suddenly asked, they might still be unaware!
