Even though the National Security Department had deliberately lowered the secrecy level surrounding Ma Latang, there was still a limit to it.
Whatever the case, Ma Latang's own value was plain to see.
Both the Police Force and the DOA Group knew this perfectly well.
Under these circumstances, the National Security Department could set a trap, but it still had to hold something back.
Broadcasting Ma Latang's intelligence files far and wide would simply defy logic.
After all, the DOA Group were no fools. If the Police Force's performance was too overblown, how could they fail to notice something amiss?
The other officers present could not help smiling wryly at the situation Su Kin-chiu had described.
The Police Force's increasingly clean and incorruptible environment had instead become an obstacle to this operation.
"Sir, I have an idea."
Suddenly, inspiration struck Intelligence Group Commander Yeung Chi-lung, and a rough plan formed in his mind.
"Let's hear it!"
He Wenzhan turned toward the voice, a distinctly interested look appearing in his eyes.
"Our Intelligence Group has noticed something unusual about the frequency of attacks on the Police Force's Internal Network over the past few days."
Straightening his back and raising his head, Yeung Chi-lung composed his expression and explained his idea in a low voice.
"They've been particularly active since yesterday."
"Based on the intelligence gathered from all sides, could we draw the following conclusion?"
"With no way to find an opening through our personnel, is the DOA Group preparing to obtain Mr. Ma's files directly through network technology?"
"If that deduction is correct, why don't we turn their scheme against them and create some bait specifically for them?"
"Could we mix the location of Mr. Ma's Safe House into some false intelligence, or even some inconsequential intelligence, and deliberately leak it?"
