Chapter 26: Sheep Enter the Wolf's Circle

Heard the words.

The plainclothes officer and Chen Ke beside him turned ashen.

They all looked around!

Han Fei grabbed the plainclothes officer.

"Stop looking. Since that guy dared to call, he must be brazen, thinking we can't discover him. If you keep looking around, you'll only draw his attention and make people observe him covertly."

"Have those colleagues on the high building use telescopes to scan the vicinity for any suspicious figures."

"Also, remember to tell the other colleagues to stay alert!"

The plainclothes officer nodded, then quickly left to carry out the order.

Chen Ke saw that Han Fei's expression wasn't good.

"Han Team, what did Xu Mo say?"

Han Fei's face turned ashen, and he pointed toward the other side's bus stop shelter.

"He told us to toss the Black Travel Bag full of money into there!"

That place has a big problem!

Not only does the shelter block the view.

The rows of trees and vegetation along the road also directly obstruct the view of the colleagues on the high building holding telescopes.

It's literally a perfect spot!

"Impossible!"

Chen Ke blurted out.

He immediately vetoed Xu Mo's request.

Han Fei said irritably, "What else? That guy threatened with a hostage in his hand—though fake, we still can't comply."

"What would the live‑stream viewers think?"

"That we treat lives like weeds? That we're mediocre and incompetent?"

Chen Ke suddenly lost his temper.

Knowing full well it's a trap.

We still have to jump inside!

This kind of pathetic feeling is truly uncomfortable.

Han Fei went to relocate the Black Travel Bag.

And Chen Ke used the walkie‑talkie to communicate with the other plainclothes officers.

He explained clearly the new location for the money‑filled bag.

The group moved toward the bus stop shelter.

But no one approached too closely recklessly.

They observed the situation from a distance of a dozen meters away.

Something that made their scalp tingle appeared.

Regardless of where they stood.

Their line of sight was more or less obstructed.

High‑altitude observation was completely useless.

"Damn it!" Chen Ke's mouth twitched, and he complained unhappily.

Han Fei was also helpless.

Pedestrians increased, and the number of passengers boarding this bus also began to rise.

The plainclothes officers mixed in the crowd.

They only felt immense pressure.

Everyone stayed tense, quietly waiting for the prey to bite!

Time passed second by second.

Not long after.

"It's coming!"

Han Fei's eyes widened suddenly.

Everyone held their breath and focused.

Their eyes fixed on a sneaky young man whose gaze kept darting around.

The youth had yellow hair, wore slip‑on shoes, and walked toward the trash can where the money was placed.

He walked and stopped intermittently, as if feeling very guilty inside.

"All units, attention! All units, attention! The sheep has entered the wolf's circle, the sheep has entered the wolf's circle."

Han Fei, tense, whispered into the walkie‑talkie!

The plainclothes officers hiding in the crowd subconsciously slowed their breathing.

As if it were the money bag in the trash can.

Once that yellow‑haired youth takes it out.

They would swarm immediately and arrest the person.

Chen Ke frowned!

The rider!

Did Xu Mo lose his mind?

He thought that simply dragging one or two people from the street for a test would suffice?

Chen Ke does not think the blond‑hair youth can smoothly take the money away!

On the contrary.

They could even capture the blond‑hair youth and learn Xu Mo's whereabouts from him!

This person's movements are merely very suspicious.

Whether it is specifically related to Xu Mo is still hard to define at this point.

The blond‑hair youth drew ever closer to the trash can!

He finally stopped beside the trash bin!

The crowd's nerves were taut to an unprecedented degree!

Han Fei stared intently at the blond‑hair youth, his walkie‑talkie having somehow already been brought to his mouth.

Chen Ke, equally tense, rolled up his sleeves.

Waiting for Han Fei's next orders!

"Move! Move now!"

Chen Ke muttered under his breath, unable to suppress his inner urging.

The blond‑hair youth.

He just stayed there beside the trash can.

Then he looked around cautiously, left and right.

As if searching for something.

From start to finish, he never moved more than half a meter from the trash can.

Time at this moment,

seemed to slow down.

Every second was a torment.

The blond‑hair youth lingered without taking the next step.

No one dared to be certain.

Whether this blond‑hair youth is related to Xu Mo.

"What the heck?"

Han Fei furrowed his brows.

Honestly, he also couldn't see what the blond‑hair youth intended to do.

Only about three minutes had passed.

Everyone thought a century had passed.

The next instant!

The previously motionless blond‑hair youth finally moved.

He placed his hand on the lid of the trash bin.

"I'm on it!"

Chen Ke swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

His body leaned forward slightly.

Like an arrow ready to leave the bowstring at any moment.

As soon as that blond‑hair youth dared to take the Black Travel Bag out of the trash can,

He would immediately be the first to rush forward.

To seize the blond‑hair youth!

"Everyone, prepare…"

Han Fei held the walkie‑talkie, his eyes narrowed like a hunting hawk.

The blond‑hair youth had already slipped his hand into the trash can.

As if reaching for something.

Their field of view wasn't very wide.

But they could sense that the blond‑hair youth was rummaging for something!

"Alright…" Seeing the blond‑hair youth's hand slowly withdraw, Han Fei subconsciously issued a command!

Only the next moment, when all the plain‑clothes officers were about to act,

"Stop— cease action! Cease action!!!"

The timing was swift.

Some teams, eager for Merit, had already started running toward the blond‑hair youth!

Just when they were four or five meters from the blond‑hair youth.

Their steps halted.

In fact, no reminder from Han Fei was needed.

The distance between the sides closed.

They also understood why Han Fei called a stop!

The blond‑hair youth never even touched the Black Travel Bag containing the money.

He only stuck his hand into the trash can and then took it back.

Seeing two strangers silent, he suddenly charged here.

The blond‑hair youth was startled.

He involuntarily staggered back a few steps.
