Chapter 189: Tricked Again?

The rule of the Saudi royal family seems stable, but in reality, it is rife with internal strife.

As the saying goes, wherever there are people, there is a world of conflict.

The struggle for succession among sons is not a patent of feudal society.

It exists just the same in modern autocratic societies.

Because all stances are, in fact, constrained by interests.

Through the conversation between the two, it can be confirmed that the young man named Alwa is likely a member of the Saudi royal family.

As for the middle-aged man, it is hard to say.

But one thing is certain: he is definitely not a member of the royal family.

Otherwise, he would not have been so agitated when Alwa mentioned royal matters.

At this moment, the middle-aged man's expression is somewhat complex.

Seeing him in this state, Alwa slowly walks in front of him and then gently pats his shoulder:

"Don't be agitated, my friend. I have no intention of dragging you into this. I just want to tell you, at this critical juncture, do not let anything go wrong, otherwise, no one will have it easy."

As he speaks, Alwa unhurriedly adjusts the cloth band of his headscarf.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man does not speak.

Seeing this, he paces to the gold-wire birdcage several meters high and, looking at the gyrfalcon dozing inside, says:

"As long as you can ensure this batch of goods is delivered safely, I will immediately transfer your share to your Swiss Bank account. This is not our first cooperation; you know my reputation."

"Alwa, I don't mean anything else. I just want to remind you not to drag those matters into our cooperation. Aside from this, I am not interested in anything else." While speaking, the middle-aged man rubs his index and middle fingers at him, indicating he is only interested in money.

Hearing this, Alwa nods: "Rest assured. Recently, I saw online that a tsunami might break out in the Atlantic Ocean soon. Will it affect our shipment this time?"

"That won't happen; we are taking a different route."

"That's good."

……

……

……

At the same time!

Switzerland, Wallenstadt, Monet Hotel!

When Chu Chen drove away, the Pursuit Team had already obtained permission from the hotel management to investigate the guest rooms!

In order not to let Chu Chen have any opportunity, after obtaining the permission, thousands of Pursuit Team members immediately, under the leadership of five team captains, threw themselves into the tense and orderly search work, carrying out a carpet-style search of the entire hotel!

Because the manpower was concentrated, the search efficiency was also very high.

In just a short while, they had finished searching all the floors!

At this moment, on the sixth floor of the hotel.

After searching all the rooms, several team captains met as expected in the corridor.

"How is it? Any discoveries?"

Seeing Zu Guozheng, Sun Bo, and Zheng Yang coming down from above, Chen Xiong walked up immediately to ask.

Hearing this, Sun Bo, who was walking in the front, shook his head and said: "No."

Following closely, Zheng Yang, who was standing next to him, chimed in:

"Our people searched every single room, and we didn't even find a single hair. I think this guy is likely long gone from here... How about you? Did you find any valuable clues?"

Hearing him ask this, Chen Xiong shook his head helplessly.

Seeing this, Zu Guozheng said: "All the places that should have been searched have been searched. Where else could he go? Could it be that he has really already left?"

"Eh? Where is the Team Captain?"

Just as Zu Guozheng was speaking, Sun Bo suddenly changed the subject.

Hearing this, the several team captains suddenly realized.

The next second, Chen Xiong said: "He just said he was going out for a stroll to see if he could find any clues."

"Going out for a stroll? When was this?" Sun Bo asked.

"About twenty minutes ago, I think," Chen Xiong said after thinking for a moment.

"Is his phone turned off?"

Putting down the phone, Sun Bo said, very confused.

"No way. How could he turn it off at a time like this? Let me try." Chen Xiong said, making a move to take out his phone.

Just at this moment, Zhuang Yan, who had not spoken the whole time, suddenly said slowly with a grave expression:

"No need."

"Huh?" Chen Xiong looked at her, not understanding.

The next second, Zhuang Yan was disheartened.

"We might have been tricked by him again... How did I not think of this..."

Seeing Zhuang Yan becoming more and more cryptic, the several team captains cast their gazes toward her one after another.

Immediately after, Chen Xiong asked: "Captain Zhuang, what are you saying? What do you mean by being tricked?"

"It's Chu Chen... We have all been tricked by him..."

"What do you mean by that? How did he trick me?" Hearing this, Chen Xiong asked again.

At the same time, the other team captains also looked at her with full faces of confusion, waiting for the rest.

"You might not believe it if I say it, but he might... have already left Wallenstadt long ago..."

As the words fell, the expressions of the several team captains became even more complex.

Subsequently, they spoke up one after another immediately!

Sun Bo said: "What? He has already left Wallenstadt?"

Zheng Yang said: "How is that possible? Our people have been watching the surveillance the whole time, and we never saw him leave the hotel at all! This is enough to prove that he is still in the hotel!"

Chen Xiong said: "Team Captain Zhuang, have you discovered something?"

Looking at the group, Zhuang Yan briefly organized her Language, then explained: "Based on my understanding of Team Captain Zhou, he would certainly not leave the scene at a time like this..."

After Zhuang Yan finished this sentence, the expressions of the group became even more solemn.

Because what she said indeed made sense.

As the first Team Captain at the forefront of the Pursuit Team, Zhou Yun had never been absent from a single capture operation!

But this time, he was gone for the first time ever, which in itself was a suspicious point!

Yet the group still could not understand what this had to do with Chu Chen.

The next second, just as everyone was waiting for Zhuang Yan to continue, she immediately changed the subject: "Just now, who went with Team Captain Zhou to C Zone to conduct the search operation?"

Chen Xiong recalled for a moment and said: "It was Zhang Hao, the Team Leader of his team's first squad, right?"

"Where is he now?" Zhuang Yan asked.

"He should be in the lobby!" Chen Xiong said.

As they spoke, the group quickly arrived at the lobby via the elevator.

After arriving, Chen Xiong immediately called Zhang Hao to Zhuang Yan's side: "Zhang, Team Captain Zhuang has a few questions she wants to verify with you, answer truthfully."

"Mm." Zhang Hao nodded, then said to Zhuang Yan: "What is it, Team Captain Zhuang?"

"Just now, did you go to C Zone with Team Captain Zhou?" Zhuang Yan asked.

Hearing this, Zhang Hao nodded again: "Yes, that's right, besides me, there were a few other brothers."

Afterwards, Zhuang Yan continued to ask: "During the entire search process, did Team Captain Zhou ever leave your sight?"

After she finished speaking, Zhang Hao thought carefully for a good while before saying: "It was quite winding in there, halfway through... we did indeed get separated..."
