Crossing the famine to find the white moonlight

Chapter 322 Secret Investigation Plan

Although the team had weathered many setbacks, Ye Wan knew she couldn't let her guard down. Trust was the core of a team, and once that foundation was eroded, restoring it was incredibly difficult. Xie Linchuan's discovery made her realize that the undercurrent hadn't subsided, but was quietly brewing a new storm.

In order to ensure the long-term stability of the team, Ye Wan decided to take action, but she knew that an overly hasty confrontation would only exacerbate internal rifts. Therefore, she decided to take a more cautious and secretive approach and launch a secret investigation.

She and Xie Linchuan discussed the details of the plan in several meetings, clarifying the division of responsibilities. Ye Wan was well aware that an overly direct investigation could provoke resentment and alert the suspect. She urged Xie Linchuan to proceed calmly, keep the investigation to a minimum, and avoid alerting the suspect.

"We need to make sure all the information is conclusive," Ye Wan said in a conversation with Xie Linchuan. "If we don't have enough evidence, we can't take action. What we need to do is gradually piece together the complete truth, rather than making rash accusations."

Xie Linchuan nodded. "I understand. We must be careful not to let suspicions turn into accusations, but we also cannot allow those potential traitors to continue to take advantage of the situation."

Secret observation by core members

Ye Wan and Xie Linchuan decided to start with the core members of the team, using their meticulous observation skills to gradually eliminate the internal movements of the team. The core members were all members who had worked under Ye Wan's leadership for a long time and had built trust. Their loyalty was high, so Ye Wan chose to entrust them with the investigation task.

"Your task is to collect some details from daily activities, especially the behavior of the suspected members when I am not present." Ye Wan said in a private meeting with core members. Although her tone was light, it revealed a firmness that could not be ignored.

She emphasized one point in particular: "Don't reveal any signs. We must keep a low profile and keep everything normal on the surface."

The core members expressed their understanding and began to turn their attention to those members who often raised questions and sometimes behaved slightly differently.

Secretly collecting evidence

The investigation proceeded quietly. Xie Linchuan was responsible for closely monitoring several key members, particularly those who had expressed slight dissatisfaction during the Li Ruotao incident. He maintained close contact with several core members and promptly reported any new developments to Ye Wan.

Ye Wan did not sit idly by. She devoted part of her time to communicating individually with members, especially those who had been influenced by Li Ruotao. She gave them more attention and support in private, and understood their true thoughts through meticulous conversations.

She never directly addressed the investigation, but instead casually discussed the team's future, focusing on each member's career plans and evolving mindsets. Through these conversations, she gradually and unknowingly uncovered some of their hidden struggles and turbulent emotions.

"I will seriously consider your opinions," Ye Wan said calmly, "but the core of a team is unity. We must all work together."

Several members visibly relaxed after these conversations, and began to openly confess their confusion and doubts. Ye Wan continued to accumulate more clues through these subtle interactions.

At the same time, Xie Linchuan and several core members spared no effort to follow up on their investigation. In their daily work interactions, they tried their best to let the suspects relax their vigilance, and without revealing anything, they searched for more clues from their words and deeds.

Every time a core member reported back, Xie Linchuan would carefully analyze and judge the value of each piece of information. He understood that only by carefully collecting sufficient evidence could he ultimately present the most convincing counterattack.

Gradually revealing the truth

After several weeks of covert investigation, Xie Linchuan and his core team members gradually pieced together some shocking facts. They discovered that some members had repeatedly interacted with Li Ruotao outside the team and, at critical moments, appeared overly focused on resource allocation and management decisions. They were often vague in their conversations with Ye Wan or seemed less actively involved in the overall team development.

A key clue began to surface: one of the team members mentioned in an informal discussion that Ye Wan's leadership style was a bit "too centralized," and suggested that a more open approach to team decision-making might yield better results. This was overheard by another core member, who reported it to Xie Linchuan.

After careful analysis, Xie Linchuan discovered that this member's attitude was becoming increasingly negative, and he clearly had a latent desire to change the team's existing structure. Worse still, his relationship with Li Ruotao seemed closer than the others, which might mean he was involved in some illicit behind-the-scenes activities.

This discovery made Ye Wan feel depressed, and she realized that she had to get deeper into the truth behind it all. With the help of Xie Linchuan and the core members, she collected more evidence and gradually uncovered the traitor hidden in the dark.

Moment of confrontation

Just as Ye Wan was about to take action, she did not rush into direct confrontation, but chose to remain calm and wait for the right time. She knew that the evidence collected in the investigation was not enough for her to doubt everyone, and the most important thing was to find the real mastermind behind the scenes.

After confirming all the intelligence, Ye Wan decided to personally convene a team meeting. During the meeting, she calmly raised some open-ended questions about the team structure, engaging all members in the discussion. In this way, she guided the members to gradually expose potential divisive elements and traitors.

Ye Wan can accurately grasp the attitude of each participant. She needs to resolve all doubts and knots through this "face-to-face" communication.

However, Ye Wan knows that all this is not so simple. The truth hidden behind it is far from being fully revealed. The next confrontation will directly determine her authority in the team and the future fate of the entire team.
