Chapter 164: The Final Negotiation!

"What? An extreme sport related to kites?"

Upon learning this news, Zhou Yun was also taken aback.

He had never even heard of this kind of extreme sport.

Thinking this, he immediately spoke into the phone's microphone: "Liu Lao, what exactly is going on?"

"It's Walenstadt Canyon..." Liu Xuemin's voice came from the other end of the line.

"Walenstadt Canyon?" Zhou Yun asked, confused.

"That's right," Liu Xuemin nodded.

"Is there any necessary connection between this place and his challenge?" Zhou Yun asked with a frown.

"Do you remember that video of his that was exposed?" Liu Xuemin asked.

Zhou Yun nodded vigorously: "I remember. What about that video?"

"There was a photo on the blackboard in the video, and the location where that photo was taken is Walenstadt in Switzerland. According to our analysis, there is a very high probability that his next challenge will take place in this location."

The series of information almost made Zhou Yun's CPU smoke; his already furrowed brows had long since twisted into a knot.

"What does this have to do with kites?"

Hearing this, Liu Xuemin continued:

"Due to the terrain and the canyon's venturi effect, Walenstadt Canyon often forms small-scale, powerful cyclones, causing the wind force below the valley to remain high all year round."

"This situation has directly made this place a veritable kite mecca. The biennial European International Kite Festival is held here. We suspect that his fifth challenge, which is Wind Surge, will very likely take place here. As for the specific event, it is most likely an extreme sport related to kites."

After Liu Xuemin finished speaking, the look in Zhou Yun's eyes suddenly became complex: "So that's how it is..."

"We suggest that you split into two groups: one group to continue to Zurich to survey the scene, and one group to go to Walenstadt in advance to set up surveillance."

After the words fell, Zhou Yun nodded: "Mm, understood."

"Then that's all for now."

"Alright, let's stay in touch."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yun let out a long breath and turned his head to look at Chen Xiong.

Seeing that Zhou Yun's expression was a bit complex, Chen Xiong immediately asked: "What's wrong?"

"Everyone, the Expert Group has discovered a very important clue."

Hearing that there was an important clue, the several team leaders all perked up and cast their gazes toward him.

"Chu Chen's next challenge is very likely Wind Surge, and the challenge location is in Walenstadt, Switzerland..."

Hearing this, the team leaders were taken aback once again.

The next second, Chen Xiong asked: "How did they know?"

"They discovered it in that video from just now. Remember the blackboard in the video? It had his entire criminal plan written on it, and that included that photo. The location where that photo was taken is Walenstadt, a famous kite mecca in Europe."

"So, the Expert Group's meaning is that Chu Chen's next challenge is an extreme sport related to kites?"

Zhou Yun nodded, then gave a soft "Mm."

"My god, how is this any different from sending himself to his death?" After realizing the severity of the matter, Chen Xiong couldn't help but exclaim.

"Who knows, this madman..." Zhou Yun echoed.

The next second, Chen Xiong asked again: "Then what do we do now?"

"The Expert Group's meaning is for us to split into two groups: one group to continue to Zurich, and one group to go to Walenstadt to set up surveillance in advance... This is what I'm thinking: you, me, and Team Leader Zhuang will go to Walenstadt, and the remaining three team leaders will go to Zurich to survey the scene. What do you all think?"

Once the team leaders heard this, they had no objections to Zhou Yun's proposal.

Having made up their minds, they immediately acted according to the plan: one group continued to Zurich, while the other headed straight for Walenstadt!

At the same time!

Zurich!

Inside the second-floor vault of the Swiss National Bank!

After a period of working together, the coordination of these people had become very tacit.

The gold-melting efficiency of the three welders had also greatly improved!

Bucket after bucket of golden, glistening gold beans flowed into the bank's sewer under the action of the water pump!

Because of this, many informed spectators at the scene took out various tools and began a gold-panning operation!

As the gold flowed out continuously, some people really did pick up gold in the sewer!

Seeing that some people had tasted success, more and more people joined in!

Due to the large number of people, the management personnel at the scene had long since lost control of the situation.

Even many management personnel joined in as well.

For a time, the entire Bahnhofstrasse turned into a complete mess, with no order left at all!

What was even more absurd was that even some upper-class individuals dressed in suits and luxury attire were actually disregarding their image and crawling into the sewer, which was somewhat hard to keep a straight face about...

It really lived up to that saying.

In the face of money, no one is a gentleman!

At this moment, Bern, Federal Government!

Time ticked away, second by second.

The ticking of the European-style antique clock was clearly audible.

Every time the hands on the dial moved, it would involuntarily make Tracy's already hanging heart tremble once.

At this moment, he was pacing back and forth in his office with extreme anxiety, occasionally casting a glance at the old-fashioned telephone on his desk, as if he were waiting for something.

The next second.

The familiar ring of the telephone suddenly rang out!

Seeing this, he hurriedly walked over in two or three steps, grabbed the receiver, and said, "Hello."

Inside the bank, Chu Chen stood in a dark corner; due to the lighting, the Micro Sky Eye could only capture half of his face.

Seeing that Tracy had answered the phone, he got straight to the point:

"Mr. Tracy, how have you considered it?"

"We can agree to your demands; all that gold is yours to dispose of, and you can take it all away without any issues. We only have one request, which is that you must keep your promise."

Hearing this, Chu Chen couldn't help but smile:

"There is nothing to discuss regarding that; you can ask those peacemakers in the European Union about my reputation, as I have just dealt with them. Within one day, this gold will be spread throughout the entire sewer system of Zurich. Have the fire department mobilize to collect it, and then hand it all over to the United Foundation; they will make good use of this money."

"I understand. Do you have any other requests?" Tracy asked.

"Finally, prepare a helicopter for me."

"Very well, I will have the people from the FIS arrange it immediately... Mr. Chu, what about that video?"

Hearing him say this, Chu Chen said slowly: "As long as you do as I say, nothing will happen. However, there is one thing I need to remind you of: do not think for a moment that everything is perfectly fine just because it has reached this point..."

"What do you mean by that?" Tracy, on the other end of the line, asked with a somewhat anxious tone.

Hearing this, Chu Chen smiled and said: "Nothing, I just want to tell you not to have any other ideas, because your crisis has not truly been resolved yet..."
