A traitor in our research institute?
Stellas face showed her skepticism and shock. What kind of traitor would be in our research institute?
Hannahs voice turned stern. A traitor who stole research from Professor Campbell.
Crash!
The sound of glassware clashing echoed.
It was the first time Stella couldnt keep the instrument steady, and she nearly broke it.
No longer detached, Stella asked in astonishment, Who is the traitor?
Even if I tell you now, you might not believe me.

Hannah faced Stella and explained, You need to see it for yourself to believe it. So, are you interested in joining us for dinner tonight?
The laboratory fell silent for a long while.
Stella gently set down what she was holding and replied, Sure, Ill come with you.
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. Lets go.
Phoenix hesitated at the entrance; his legs felt like lead.
The swindlers walked ahead and, noticing Phoenix lagging, turned back with a frown.
One of them grabbed Phoenixs arm. Come on, why are you just standing there?
Phoenix adjusted his glasses, unsure, and admitted, I think This isnt a good deal.
Upon hearing this, one of the conmen became irritated. You mean you wont help us? Weve already transferred 5 million dollars to you today! How can you back out now? Listen, if you pay us 1 million, well let you go immediately.
How could he possibly come up with that much money?
Now he finds himself in a dilemma.
Dont intimidate him.
Another man approached and reassured Phoenix, patting him on the back.
Dont be nervous. Im not asking you to lie. You know this project well. Just explain how it works and trick the fool.
