The suited man, whose name was Jack, began to reveal the inner workings of the corrupt businessman's empire.
"I saw documents, emails, and meetings that implicated top officials and businessmen," Jack said, his voice shaking. "They're involved in money laundering, bribery, and worse."
Sarah pulled out her recorder, capturing every word. Jake and Alex listened intently, their minds racing with the implications.
"How high up does it go?" Jake asked.
"It goes all the way to the top," Jack replied. "The businessman has connections with high-ranking officials, judges, and even law enforcement."
Alex's eyes widened. "We need to get this to the right people."
Sarah nodded. "I'll make sure it gets to the right channels. But we need to protect Jack. He's risking everything by testifying."
Jake nodded. "We'll keep him safe. We have to."
As they left the café, Jake knew they were one step closer to exposing the truth. But he also knew the danger was escalating.
Suddenly, Jack grabbed Jake's arm. "I just remembered something. A meeting is scheduled for tonight, at the businessman's mansion. It's a gathering of all the key players."
Jake's eyes locked onto Alex and Sarah. "We need to be there."
