Should we send someone to follow?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the report, Xu Dui immediately turned to look at Yu Dazhang in the back seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Send two people to follow them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang didn’t believe Zhang Jiangke would dare meet Zhou Jiacheng on the road, but he still ordered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just follow them to the school and to the dormitory.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was done as a precaution—anything with even a slight chance of happening couldn’t be ignored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, Zhou Jiacheng and a girl appeared at the compound’s Damenkou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang watched them walk toward the opposite side of the compound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He noticed Zhou Jiacheng’s steps were unsteady, almost stumbling, while the girl looked vibrant and full of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First day of celibacy… Yu Dazhang barely held back a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now understood why Zhou Jiacheng didn’t live here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had only been a short time, and he already looked drained—if he’d been fighting all night, it would’ve been life-threatening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these two were at the age of raging hormones; they could handle the strain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two vanished from sight, Xu Dui couldn’t help asking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Should we send someone to lie in wait inside the apartment?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His meaning was clear: since they were already lying in wait, it would be safer to wait inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Zhang Jiangke could fool the officers outside, stepping inside would be walking straight into a trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, they knew the smart lock’s password—it would be easy to get in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang refused outright:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We don’t know the situation inside. If there are hidden cameras, we’ll be exposed the moment we enter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Hua Dui were here, he’d never suggest lying in wait inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because when Yu Dazhang handled the enslavement case in N Province, the main culprit had once used remote surveillance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jiangke also had the smart lock password for the rental apartment—he might have sent someone to install surveillance while Zhou Jiacheng was away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as that possibility existed, Yu Dazhang couldn’t gamble—and he couldn’t afford to lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any small movement now could make Zhang Jiangke sense danger and flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s also why he forbade Zhou Jiacheng from sending Zhang Jiangke an email.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might be another trap set by the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To deal with such a cunning old fox, Yu Dazhang believed the best approach was to remain unchanged and let events unfold naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What if he doesn’t come?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Dui asked again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do we just wait here forever?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was growing impatient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, this stakeout was pure luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If he doesn’t come, there’s nothing we can do,” Yu Dazhang said with resignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right now, besides waiting here, do you have another option?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Xu Dui fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Yu Dazhang took charge of the case, progress had been made nearly every day, making him accustomed to following Yu Dazhang’s orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And right now, aside from waiting here, he couldn’t think of any other solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I had Zhou Jiacheng and his girlfriend come here to make everything look natural.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All we can do now is avoid interference and let things unfold naturally—that’s how we maximize the chance of Zhang Jiangke showing up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only soothe Xu Dui this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Yu Dazhang was certain Zhang Jiangke would come, he couldn’t rule out surprises—so he never spoke too definitively; he always left himself room to maneuver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Doing nothing is better than doing something wrong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Dui nodded thoughtfully, as if suddenly understanding, then added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I get it. Against someone as crafty as Zhang Jiangke, this is the only way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it’s all about prediction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jiangke is so cunning precisely because he can anticipate the police’s next move and skillfully avoid or counter it.\u003C\u002Fp>",647,"2026-06-20T14:22:48.157Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ac77298d92bf6aa242a4f2f99d8e521a2b38f9607748b20d5d34285c29c98176","reborn-in-2014-i-am-the-king-of-criminal-investi-chapter-706","reborn-in-2014-i-am-the-king-of-criminal-investi-chapter-704",763,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-2014-i-am-the-king-of-criminal-investi-cover.jpg"]
