The hard-earned intelligence was cut off again, which made Luo Zheng furious. His face darkened as he held the phone to his ear, staring sharply at the blue sky and white clouds outside the car window. His mood was at its lowest point. Upon hearing Zhou Gang's instructions for the next move, Luo Zheng took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said, "Get to the train station as fast as possible. Stay covert."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Zheng noticed Niu Gang and others looking at him curiously. Without further explanation, he spoke into his earpiece, "Have we discovered anything?"
"We've been monitoring near Jinghai Garden and found a suspicious vehicle leaving, entering a nearby underground parking lot. There's no further lead, probably because they swapped vehicles to leave," Lan Xing's voice sounded in the earpiece, accompanied by traces of anger. Every ti they caught a lead in surveillance, the opponents escaped using the sa trick.
"Have you investigated the owner of the house in Jinghai Garden?" Luo Zheng continued to ask.
"Yes, Song Fei, the boss of Feiyang Technology Company, has business dealings with Liuyuan Group," Lan Xing replied.
"Imdiately investigate his relationship with Mrs. Liu, and keep it confidential," Luo Zheng instructed, feeling that sothing was odd. How could Mrs. Liu be kidnapped at the sa ti with Song Fei? Isn't there sothing fishy here?
"Should we go to the train station or...?" Niu Gang asked in confusion.
"No, you guys should hide near the Liuyuan Group and stay on standby. I'll go to the train station alone," Luo Zheng answered. He couldn't deal with soone like Charlie without having a backup plan. Who knows what tricks he might play next. With Zhou Gang and others being enough, there was no need to deploy more personnel.
Niu Gang said nothing further. Luo Zheng found a place to get off the car, then hitched a ride to the train station. The bustling train station was crowded, making it inconvenient to search for soone. Charlie had ntioned exchanging hostages at the train station but hadn't contacted again. Who knows if it's trustworthy. Luo Zheng was here purely on luck and didn't hold much hope.
After walking around briefly and noting the terrain, Luo Zheng found a leisure seat, sat down, and took out his phone to send a text to Zhou Gang. Soon, Zhou Gang replied, informing him that everyone was in position, scattered in various corners of the train station, but had not discovered any suspicious targets.
Luo Zheng didn't seek Zhou Gang out but waited patiently. Shortly, Lan Xing's voice ca through the earpiece, "I'm using a single channel now, only you can hear . Guess what I've discovered?"
"Go ahead, focus," Luo Zheng said, getting curious.
"I investigated Mrs. Liu's private phone and found she often communicates with Song Fei, of course, could be for business reasons. But the timing is peculiar: once at nine in the morning and once at eleven at night, like an agreent," Lan Xing quickly explained, carrying an air of gossip.
"Are you saying they're involved?" Luo Zheng realized the situation was sowhat as he guessed, surprised. A scandal involving a general's wife would be a huge sha for the general's family if spread. He quickly said, "This matter is between us, don't spread it."
"Got it," Lan Xing continued with the relish of gossip, "Such things in big families are not uncommon; people are used to it. You don't need to be overly nervous. I guess the general has so suspicions, just lacks evidence. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so calm when you reported last ti."
"Could it be Song Fei who called Mrs. Liu to leave, then soone captured her?" Luo Zheng asked suspiciously.
"Based on various situations, Charlie likely controlled Song Fei and used him to invite Mrs. Liu or used Song Fei's network IP to invite Mrs. Liu to et in the underground shopping mall where they were kidnapped. After Mrs. Liu left, Charlie worried about records and had a hacker hack her phone, and Eck, responsible for the periter, abducted Mrs. Liu to Song Fei's ho at Jinghai Garden," Lan Xing analyzed curiously.
Sotis won's gossip and intuition are incredibly reliable. Luo Zheng pondered the reasoning, then said, "Why not just invite Mrs. Liu directly to Song Fei's ho?"
"Have you ever seen a cheating man bring a woman ho?" Lan Xing scolded sarcastically.
"Uh?" Luo Zheng chuckled softly, didn't refute, and sank into contemplation.
"Warning you, don't cheat, or if you dare wrong my sister, I won't let you off," Lan Xing continued.
"Alright, focus on business. Can you locate Charlie?" Luo Zheng reminded irritably. During work, Luo Zheng didn't like discussing personal matters to avoid getting distracted.
"Currently using satellite for facial recognition, checking one by one; the train station is crowded, needs ti. This bastard surely knows we're investigating him, deliberately choosing crowded places. If he's at the train station, likely hiding in a car observing," Lan Xing quickly responded.
"Understood, switch back to the public channel," Luo Zheng said. After Lan Xue switched the earpiece, he continued, "Ghost Hand, call the guys around the train station, have them check suspicious vehicles by various ans, create so movent, the more people, the better, make them hurry."
"Understood," Ghost Hand quickly agreed.
With Charlie's caution, he'd surely observe the terrain and environnt for a while, and wouldn't show up until confirming he's alone, to avoid being passive. Calling the police would make Charlie alert and retreat, unlike the locals who wouldn't catch his attention but still be effective.
Luo Zheng sent Zhou Gang and others a group text, informing them of the situation, telling them to charge when detecting enemies without hesitation, just shoot directly. Against soone like Charlie, there's no need for normal procedure, and no need to capture alive, kill first, talk later. Sitting back on the leisure chair, Luo Zheng recalled his interactions with Charlie, realizing he was always passive. If not for a local thug nad Er Zhu providing clues, plus Ghost Hand's familiarity with King Village, determining a possibility, they'd still be passive. This guy was too adept at laying traps and using psychology.
Thinking about it, Luo Zheng shivered with excitent, quickly spoke through the earpiece, "Everyone be cautious. I'm afraid the train station is also a smoke bomb, aiming to mobilize our troops."
"That's entirely possible; luckily you haven't mobilized personnel from the two spots. Nothing here for now," Hong ihua's voice sounded in the earpiece.
"Nothing here for now either," Lan Xing said.
"I estimate Charlie will exchange hostages at the train station; otherwise, he can't justify to his companions. But whether he's sincere in exchanging hostages is hard to say. He's in the dark, you're in the light, he might directly harm you, plus the assassin who's still hidden, be careful," Lan Xue warned with concern.
