Chapter 2769: Chapter 2769: The Authorities Received The Recording

“I just received an anonymous recording.” Marco Ricchi stated, his voice tight.

“So did I,” Leonardo Ricchi replied instantly after checking his own screen.

Within a matter of seconds, they realised that almost every core member present in the boardroom had received the exact same encrypted audio file.

Marco Ricchi glanced around the perimeter of the meeting room before speaking, his sharp mind connecting the dots.

“It looks like only the individuals actively involved in our family’s executive decision-making received this file.” Marco Ricchi narrowed his eyes.

“The anonymous sender knows our internal family hierarchy inside and out.” Leonardo Ricchi nodded in grim agreement.

“Let’s hear what they wanted us to see.” Marco Ricchi’s expression gradually turned dark and serious.

One of the tech executives immediately mirrored his phone to the conference room’s central projector screen. The recording initialized, and Richard Lee’s damning confession soon began echoing off the walls.

…

At the Fang Family’s corporate headquarters, the Fang Family’s executive council had just officially concluded their weekly strategic assembly. Only the Patriarch, the core elders, the direct descendants, and several key personal advisers remained chatting inside the grand conference room.

Buzz…

Buzz…

Buzz…

Every phone in the room vibrated almost simultaneously, creating an eerie chorus.

One senior elder glanced down at his screen, his eyes widening slightly.

“Unknown sender…”

“The same here.”

“It’s a recording.”

Several others immediately checked their personal devices as well.

“I received it too.”

“So did I.”

Old Master Fang calmly observed everyone’s surprised reactions without saying a single word, swirling his tea gently. After a brief, heavy silence, he finally spoke.

“It appears the sender deliberately selected only the people capable of making major family decisions.” Old Master Fang noted smoothly, setting his cup down onto the table with a soft click. “Interesting.”

“Should we play it, Patriarch?” One of the elders asked, hovering his finger over his screen.

Without another word, Old Master Fang simply gestured with a calm wave toward the main projector screen. “Play it.”

The room immediately fell into a dead, expectant silence as Richard Lee’s sickening confession began echoing powerfully throughout the entire conference hall.

…

After the three families finished listening to the recording, a violent wave of nausea washed over everyone in their respective boardrooms. They were pragmatists who readily admitted that none of their noble families was completely innocent in the ruthless world of high finance and corporate dominance. Every powerful dynasty harboured its own dirty secrets, underhanded dealings, and cold-blooded methods to survive. However, they had never once crossed a line as horrifyingly vile as treating living human beings like livestock, slaughtering, selling, and sacrificing innocent children for profit.

Among the deluge of horrifying confessions, one crucial detail immediately caught the attention of the patriarchs and senior analysts. The embedded metadata inside the file contained a precise date and timestamp. The interrogation had been recorded a mere two hours earlier.

That meant the tactical intelligence was burning hot. If they mobilised the full weight of their influence immediately, there was still a golden window of opportunity to intercept the shipment before the containers were sealed and loaded onto foreign vessels. Without wasting another single second, the leaders of the three Great Families immediately bypassed ordinary channels, directly contacting their highest-level trusted connections within the supreme authorities. They demanded an emergency response regarding a catastrophic matter of large-scale human trafficking, systematic child abduction, and illegal human experimentation occurring on domestic soil.

Naturally, the high command of the authorities was utterly stunned upon receiving the horrifying report. However, law enforcement could not simply launch a full-scale assault solely based on anonymous accusations against the Lee Family, one of the untouchable Four Great Families, without strict verification. Before initiating an operation of such massive geopolitical proportions, they first needed to rigorously verify the authenticity of the digital evidence.

The audio file was immediately routed to the specialised Digital Forensic Division. A panel of elite forensic analysts worked feverishly under immense pressure, dissecting every microsecond of the recording. They isolated the acoustic waveforms, scanned for microscopic signs of splicing or editing, checked for neural voice-cloning manipulation, and thoroughly reverse-engineered the raw metadata embedded within the container file.

Nearly an hour of agonising tension passed before the definitive technical report arrived at the director’s desk.

“There are absolutely zero traces of audio splicing or digital editing.”

“The vocal biometrics match Richard Lee’s vocal frequency with absolute authenticity.”

“No evidence of AI-generated speech, synthesis, or digital alteration detected.”

“The recording is 100% genuine.”

The official report instantly made the expressions of every commander and director turn deathly solemn.

Even more surprising to the investigators was the revelation that the Smith Family, the Ricchi Family, and the Fang Family had all received the exact same encrypted file at almost the exact same microsecond. Whoever had orchestrated this whistleblowing clearly intended for all three major powerhouses and the state authorities to act in absolute, undeniable unison.

With the recording’s authenticity fully verified, the authorities immediately established a joint, top-secret command centre. High-ranking commanders from the People Security Bureau, the Criminal Investigation Department, the Anti-Human Trafficking Division, and the Special Tactical Response Unit gathered inside the tactical emergency operations room. A massive, high-definition digital map of the port district was projected onto the main command wall.

Two specific sectors were highlighted in flashing, bright red:

Warehouse No. 13

Warehouse No. 14

Newark West Industrial Zone

These were the places that they would need to pay attention to.

“A verbal confession alone is not enough to withstand the Lee Family’s legal army in court.” One senior tactical commander stated, his tone heavy and serious. “We need irrefutable visual confirmation on the ground before requesting immediate, emergency arrest warrants from the High Court.”
