~7 min read 1,317 words

Chen Chen Zihao looked at the night outside the window: "Yes, perhaps they are the people who have been wanting to find that money all along."

Ding Ding Xiaoyu said nervously: "Then what should we do now?"

Chu Tian looked at the two: "First, we must ensure our safety."

"Second, we have to find someone to help and see if we can collect information about this Owl Organization."

Chen Chen Zihao and Ding Ding Xiaoyu nodded, their hearts heavy.

Chu Tian picked up his phone and decided to call a few friends he had a good relationship with.

Asking them if they knew about the situation of the Owl Organization.

Chen Chen Zihao and Ding Ding Xiaoyu waited nervously for Chu Tian's news.

After the call connected, Chu Tian briefly explained their situation to his friend, then asked cautiously: "Do you know about the Owl Organization?"

The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, appearing somewhat hesitant, and finally said: "Chu Tian, you shouldn't ask this question."

Chu Tian frowned: "Why? This is related to the problem we are encountering now."

The other person's voice trembled somewhat: "I don't dare to say, I'm really sorry, Chu Tian. But you must be careful, don't mention this name again."

After the call hung up.

Chu Tian shook his head with a bitter smile and said to Chen Chen Zihao and Ding Ding Xiaoyu: "He didn't dare to say, he seemed very afraid."

Chen Chen Zihao frowned: "What is the background of this organization?"

Ding Ding Xiaoyu bit her lip nervously: "Did we get into big trouble?"

Chu Tian sighed and made a few more calls.

The results were all the same.

Whenever the Owl Organization was mentioned, the other party would appear nervous and not dare to say much.

Some even hung up the phone directly and could no longer be contacted.

The three looked at each other, their moods becoming increasingly heavy.

It seemed that the Owl Organization was not only mysterious but also had immense power, making everyone who knew about them not dare to speak out easily.

Just when the three were at their wits' end.

Ding Ding Xiaoyu's phone text message ringtone sounded.

She looked at her phone suspiciously and discovered that there was only a photo in the text message, which was a handwritten note.

The note read: "Stop investigating that money, otherwise bear the consequences yourself."

Ding Ding Xiaoyu handed the phone to Chu Tian and Chen Chen Zihao in terror: "You guys look at this."

Chu Tian took the phone and looked at the handwriting on the note, his face instantly turning gloomy: "It seems they already know we are investigating them."

Chen Chen Zihao clenched his fists: "We cannot just give up like this, we must find the whereabouts of that money."

Ding Ding Xiaoyu said nervously: "But if we continue like this, will we fall into even greater danger?"

Chu Tian pondered for a moment, then said: "No matter what, we cannot just be helpless. Since we have already been drawn into this dispute, let's face it bravely."

0 .... ...

Ding Ding Xiaoyu and Chen Hao nodded.

They both knew that, at this point, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.

Chu Tian sighed: "However, we must be more careful, protect ourselves well, and avoid giving the enemy any opportunity."

Over the next few days, Chu Tian, Chen Hao, and Ding Ding Xiaoyu tried their best to keep a low profile, attempting to continue tracking clues about the Owl organization.

They observed their surroundings from time to time, keeping their guard up.

One evening, the three of them were eating at a small restaurant.

The warm lights of the restaurant shone down on every table.

In the dim light, they chatted about how they had been doing lately.

Outside the window, in the night, a few leaves swayed with the wind.

It seemed as if they were also listening to the story here.

Suddenly, Ding Ding Xiaoyu felt that something was wrong.

She frowned in confusion: "Do you guys feel like we’ve been followed these past few days?"

Chu Tian and Chen Hao looked at each other, seemingly having the same feeling.

Chu Tian whispered: "Just now, I saw someone peeking at us from outside the window, and now they’re gone."

Chen Hao frowned: "We must be careful; it’s possible we’ve already been monitored by the Owl organization."

"043" The three decided to leave the restaurant immediately.

They walked quickly through the streets, their footsteps echoing in the narrow alley.

Occasionally, the faint light cast by streetlamps gave them a slight sense of comfort.

At this moment, Chu Tian suddenly signaled for everyone to stop.

He looked nervously at a dark corner in the distance: "There’s a figure there, and it’s been following us."

Chen Hao and Ding Ding Xiaoyu immediately became alert.

They decided to devise a plan to draw out the person following them.

After returning to their residence, they cautiously discussed countermeasures.

Chu Tian believed they should create a false impression.

Let the tracker mistakenly believe they had given up on the investigation.

This might allow them to temporarily shake off the other party's surveillance.

Chen Hao, on the other hand, suggested taking the initiative to lure the other party into showing themselves.

They would strive to capture them in one fell swoop.

After a heated discussion, the three finally decided to adopt Chen Hao's suggestion.

They began preparing bait, attempting to lure out members of the Owl organization.

The letter described in detail that they had obtained important clues about the Owl organization.

And that they planned to hand them over to the police.

The letter was intentionally left on the seat in the restaurant, and they hid in the shadows, waiting for the tracker to take the bait.

Sure enough, it wasn't long.

A person wearing a black mask appeared in the restaurant.

He walked cautiously to that seat and picked up the letter.

This person was exactly the figure who had been following them earlier.

Chu Tian, Chen Hao, and Ding Ding Xiaoyu caught him off guard and rushed out from the shadows.

The three swarmed him and pinned him to the ground.

They brought the tracker back to their temporary rental.

They looked around to ensure there were no other eavesdroppers.

By now, the night had deepened, and only a dim light in the room.

Provided them with some warmth.

The tracker was tied to a chair.

His head was wrapped in cloth strips, and his eyes could not see the surrounding environment.

Chu Tian took out a small knife and fiddled with it gently, as if looking for a suitable incision.

Chen Hao turned on a recorder, preparing to document this interrogation.

He tried to scare the tracker with a stern tone: "Do you know why we caught you? We want you to tell us, what exactly is the Owl organization?"

The tracker revealed a sly smile at the corner of his mouth and mocked: "Do you think you can get any information by catching me? Let me tell you, I won't say anything."

Ding Ding Xiaoyu walked up to him and said in a softer tone: "We don't want to hurt you. As long as you tell us some information about the Owl organization, we will let you go. Please trust us."

The tracker was silent for a while, seemingly thinking about how to respond.

Finally, he let out a sigh and whispered: "Fine, I can tell you some things about the Owl organization, but you must promise to let me go."

Chen Hao’s eyes widened.

He couldn't believe that this tracker had surrendered so easily.

He said vigilantly: "Fine, but we must first verify whether what you say is true."
