After determining the division of labor, everyone dispersed to prepare. Luo Zheng sat alone in the living room, brewing tea and drinking by himself, while pondering the various possible attacks by Charlie. Given the lineup at his side, it would be exceedingly difficult for Charlie to launch a sneak attack. If it were him, what tactics would he choose?
After pondering for a while, Luo Zheng saw the staff responsible for cooking, cleaning, and gardening packing up and leaving. Lan Xue graciously saw them out of the villa, then returned to sit diagonally across from Luo Zheng and whispered, "I gave them a week off. After experiencing battle scenes, they were scared to death, and no one complained. Besides, I had Shi Feng transfer people from the police station to help with cooking and cleaning. By the way, how do you plan to arrange the people He Shan brought?"
"Their identities are unknown and not exposed. I plan to arrange them by Little Dao's side, making them take minglers to search for news on Charlie. Police leading minglers to find soone, heh heh." Luo Zheng said, laughing to himself.
"Only you could do sothing so unconventional, but I have to say, it works well. Police have professional training and know how to find people, plus the minglers are familiar with the area, so it should work quite well." Lan Xue said with a smile.
Seeing Lan Xue agree to the plan, Luo Zheng called together He Shan, Huang Lei, Jin Xin, and Zhang Bao and explained the arrangents. The four thought it over and did not object, so Luo Zheng had them call their people and set a rendezvous point, leaving Ghost Hand responsible for arrangents since he was familiar with Little Dao.
Everyone got busy, but Luo Zheng beca the most leisurely person, sipping tea all afternoon without any attack from Charlie. On the contrary, bad news ca from Niu Gang's side: the captured ninja did not speak and was very stubborn. The interrogation report, supposed to be available first thing in the morning, was not, and by dusk, the captive had died. The only remaining captive was Eck, but Eck had already divulged what he knew, and further questioning yielded nothing new.
All leads were cut off. Luo Zheng helplessly walked out of the room to patrol the surroundings. Unknowingly, night fell, and the people Shi Feng found had already prepared dinner. The group took turns eating. After Luo Zheng finished his al, he continued to rest in the living room. Hong ihua ca over, sat diagonally opposite, and said, "After observing all day, Mrs. Liu's emotions seem stable, nothing too worrying. A whole day has passed without any sign from Charlie. Could he be lying low?"
"Hard to say. You're the one who knows him best. You should be the one telling the answer." Luo Zheng said with a smile.
"From what I know of him, he will definitely retaliate, and it will be swift and fierce. However, there's been no move at all, which is rather odd. I'd like to hear your thoughts." Hong ihua said candidly.
"I estimate it will happen tonight. This is our country, so he won't dare to overdo it. Attacking at night is most suitable, but I can't figure out what thod he'll use." Luo Zheng said, feeling a bit frustrated.
The two chatted for a while, and Luo Zheng asked about Charlie's previous way of doing things. Hong ihua did not hold back and told him everything, which gave Luo Zheng a deeper understanding of Charlie. It faintly felt like Charlie and he were quite similar, making him even more cautious. Thinking carefully, he couldn't see any gaps in their defense. How would Charlie strike?
Ti unknowingly slipped into eight in the evening, and the night was completely dark. For safety, the lights outside the villa were still on. Everyone was hidden, monitoring every move in the surroundings. Luo Zheng suddenly felt uneasy, as if a deadly danger was approaching. This mystic feeling had saved his life several tis before.
Luo Zheng dared not be careless, his expression sinking as he quickly communicated through the earpiece, "Attention to all units, stay alert and be careful, the enemy may be upon us."
A cool response ca from everyone through the earpiece. Luo Zheng went to the living room window, calmly watching the dark night outside the window. In the quiet community, he noticed nothing unusual, but he couldn't shake off his doubts. Lan Xue ca running with a serious face and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
"It doesn't feel right." Luo Zheng said honestly.
Lan Xue knew Luo Zheng's intuition was extrely keen, and if he sensed danger, it ant that real danger was looming. Her face turned solemn, and her cold eyes flashed with a hint of battle spirit. She looked at Hong ihua and asked, "Could it be Charlie? If so, what thod of attack would he choose?"
"Hard to say, ground attacks are quite difficult, and air attacks are impossible unless it's underground. Yet, I've checked all the underground drains, and they're too small for anyone to pass through. It's impossible to infiltrate through the underground ducts. However, since we sense danger, ergency asures are necessary." Hong ihua said seriously, proposing an idea.
"What should we do?" Lan Xue asked urgently.
"Our biggest weakness is the mother and daughter. As long as we protect them, everything else isn't an issue. This villa has an indoor garage, which is completely enclosed. With the door locked, no one can enter. It has a ventilation fan to ensure the air inside." Hong ihua proposed.
Luo Zheng was taken aback but quickly nodded and agreed, "To be safe, let's arrange it this way."
"Alright, I'll make the arrangents and personally protect the two of them. I rember there's a car in the garage. If necessary, I'll drive them to safety alone." Lan Xue said seriously, looking at Luo Zheng.
"Agreed." Luo Zheng said earnestly.
Lan Xue hurriedly went to deploy, and soon after, Luo Zheng saw Lan Xue leading Mrs. Liu and her daughter downstairs, entering the underground garage from a side door and locking the door from inside. Luo Zheng's heart settled a bit. Looking at Hong ihua, he said, "Thank you for the reminder. With our defense and manpower, if it were you, how would you attack?"
"Neither ground nor air is possible, only underground. But I can't figure out how they would attack." Hong ihua said, face filled with contemplation, her eyes serious.
"Underground?" Luo Zheng also contemplated. It's impossible for people to navigate through the underground pipelines. How would Charlie attack? Luo Zheng couldn't figure it out and went to the command room to see Lan Xing busy with several information officers, continuously switching surveillance videos. Lan Xing got up to look at Luo Zheng in surprise.
"Have you noticed anything unusual?" Luo Zheng asked, puzzled.
"No, want to ask the hidden sentinels?" Lan Xing asked. Seeing Luo Zheng nod, he imdiately inquired through the earpiece, "Report the situation, hidden sentinels on the periter."
After a while, there was no response. Luo Zheng was taken aback and looked at Lan Xing. Lan Xing inquired again, but still received no answer. He imdiately asked the serious cri unit mbers on periter alert, but again there was no response. Realizing sothing was wrong, he anxiously inquired of Zhou Gang and others hidden on the rooftop but received no answer.
"Sothing's happened." Luo Zheng was taken aback, quickly drawing his pistol, and continued, "Keep calling, notify imdiately if there's any situation." With that, he rushed outside.
