Under Su Ran’s visionary and meticulous planning, Great Qing began to operate like a massive, precision-engineered machine, moving swiftly and in perfect order. Its intelligence network, which spanned the globe, spread out across the world like an invisible yet incredibly resilient web, exerting a silent but formidable influence.
Overseas agents, like ghosts hidden in the shadows, poured out in full force. They delved into every corner of foreign lands, leaving their traces from the bustling alleys of metropolitan cities to the heavily guarded mansions of the elite. Like keen hunters tracking their prey, they left no stone unturned, meticulously yet unflinchingly pursuing every faint clue that might lead to the Mysterious Organization.
These agents frequently met with carefully cultivated local informants. In hidden, dimly lit corners, they used heavy rewards as bait to trade for precious intelligence. They knew the weight of their mission; every move was like walking on thin ice. The slightest carelessness could expose their identities and cause the entire intelligence-gathering operation to collapse. Thus, they remained constantly vigilant, threading their way between danger and opportunity with extreme caution.
