29: Chapter 29 Investigating Traitors and Cleansing the House

Moriarty and the others beat up Victor. His anger subsided just a little.

In truth, Moriarty wanted to kill Victor, but Zhang Shan said he was still useful. He held back his rage and merely gave him a beating.

"Brother, thank you for today. If you hadn't given me Victor's exact address, my goods might have vanished into thin air. I also have to thank you for appearing suddenly at the critical moment. Otherwise, with my strength, I wouldn't have been able to defeat Victor."

"Brother Moriarty, you're joking. This is what I should have done. After all, it was my shipment. If the goods were lost under my watch, wouldn't that be too embarrassing? However, Brother, you should properly investigate your subordinates. Today we happened to run into Victor, but I don't know who we might run into next time."

"Moreover, what happened today cannot just be let go. We must find the traitor, otherwise, there will be endless problems in the future. What we need to do now is to eliminate future trouble."

"Rest assured, I will investigate thoroughly when I get back today. I will definitely drag out the person who betrayed me. When the time comes, I hope you can also come to see how to punish a traitor. It will give you some experience. Then you'll know how to deal with traitors in the future."

"Alright, Brother, I'll wait for your call."

Moriarty returned to the bar and asked Mona to investigate which underlings had been in contact with Victor recently.

After receiving the order, Mona began to investigate the people who had been in contact with Victor in recent days.

After a day of investigation, the mole was finally caught.

"Boss, that mole is an underling who follows us around, whose name I don't even know. By checking phone records and surveillance, I discovered that he has been in contact with Victor quite a bit recently."

"The day we were preparing to ship the goods, I noticed him making a phone call in a sneaky manner, but I didn't pay attention to it."

"Mona, you were really too careless. Now, go bring that traitor to me."

After the underling was brought up, he knelt on the ground and kept trembling.

"Boss, what do you need me for? I haven't committed any major mistakes, have I?"

"Heh. Do you not have any idea what you've done yourself?"

Moriarty casually threw a cup to the ground. The sound of the shattering cup gave the underling a sudden jolt of terror.

"Brother Moriarty, can we stop beating around the bush with him? If we keep asking like this, we won't get anything out of him even by tomorrow. Why not just ask him directly and bluntly what his relationship is with Victor?"

Zhang Shan kept twirling the gun in his hand.

"Speak. Did you hear what this big brother said? Confess honestly, what exactly is your relationship with Victor?"

"Big brother, big brother! I really don't know Victor, and I have no relationship with him. I don't know what you are talking about."

The underling knew that if he admitted to having contact with Victor's side, he would definitely die a very, very miserable death.

Moriarty looked at the underling's desperate attempt to quibble and felt truly helpless. He waved his hand. Mona pulled up the video of him calling Victor.

"Then tell me, who were you calling during such an urgent operation that day? Your family? But I seem to remember that when we went to collect the goods that day, all mobile phones were handed in. You were a participant in the operation, so why did you have a phone?"

"I, I, I made the call before I handed in my phone that day."

Mona smiled mockingly. "Do you take us for fools? The surveillance records have timestamps. The surveillance shows the time after the phones were handed in. What do you say to that? Could it be that our surveillance is faulty?"

"I, I, I..."

"I advise you to be honest. The Boss's temper and patience are not very good. If you speak now, you still have a chance to defend yourself. Once we have to recount your relationship with Victor, then your time is truly up."

Moriarty fired a shot into the air at the appropriate moment. The underling, who was still kneeling on the ground, suddenly slumped onto the floor.

"Boss, Boss, I'll talk, I'll talk."

"Once, Victor found me and wanted me to be a spy to report your every word and action. But at that time, I wasn't tempted, so I refused him. After that, I never contacted him again."

"I have a bit of a special hobby, which is gambling. Recently, I lost several million. Every day, debt collectors come to my door, and I am terrified. But I had no other choice, so I could only hide here and there to avoid these debt collectors."

"One day, Victor's people found me again. He learned that I was in a lot of gambling debt. He said he could help me pay off those gambling debts if I helped him with a favor."

"He said that as long as I saw you in contact with Mr. Robinson, I should tell him immediately. Then that day, I accidentally heard you buying arms from Mr. Robinson. And I happened to be participating in this operation."

"In order to pay off the gambling debts as soon as possible, and so I wouldn't have to live a life of hiding anymore, I called Victor that day. I told him our specific transaction time and the transaction location."

"Boss, I really didn't expect him to rob our goods. I thought he wanted to negotiate with you and buy some goods from you."

The underling said every word trembling.

"Heh. You really are naive! You betrayed me and now you're preaching these principles to me. What, do you want me to spare you? You almost cost me ten million in US dollars this time! Do you think your life is worth ten million?"

Moriarty held the gun to the underling's head.

"Boss, Boss, let me go, I won't dare to do it again. I was truly possessed. I will never gamble again. Please let me go, I beg you."

The underling was so scared he wet his pants.

"I spare you. Who will spare me? You should have known the consequences when you betrayed me. Have I not been good enough to you all? Yet you would treat me this way."

"Big brother, big brother, I was wrong, I was really wrong. Please let me go this one time."

"Mona. It's up to you. Drag him away, you know what to do."

Moriarty made a throat-slitting gesture.

At this moment, the underling's heart turned to ash; he knew he definitely wouldn't survive.

"Brother Robinson, do you think I am very cruel? Not even giving these young people a sliver of a chance to live."

"Not at all, I don't think so. Since he chose to betray, it means he had already considered the consequences. Traitors can never be forgiven."

Zhang Shan suddenly crushed the cup in his hand. He thought of the scene where he was betrayed by a friend after receiving a mission and almost died. Traitors must die; they cannot be allowed to live.
