Chapter 729

"Target location locked."

The technician sat in front of a laptop, pointing at the screen:

"In Building 3 of this residential complex; based on the location, it appears to be a private residence."

Residence? Yu Dazhang immediately sensed something was off.

He had assumed Gu Dingwen would be moving while talking, or at some public place—somewhere he could flee at any moment.

Why would he contact Zhang Jiangke from a regular home? Didn’t he fear being trapped like a fish in a barrel?

Had Gu Dingwen been careless?

No.

Yu Dazhang quickly dismissed this possibility.

Judging from how Gu Dingwen had probed Zhang Jiangke, he wouldn’t be careless about something like this.

If it wasn’t negligence, then only one scenario remained.

Gu Dingwen was setting a trap.

"Send two officers to this residential complex."

Yu Dazhang ordered Hua Dui:

"Once you identify the exact unit, don’t approach—observe from the opposite building."

Whether it was a trap or not, he had to send officers to verify on-site.

But to be safe, he specifically instructed them not to break in directly.

"Understood. I’ll arrange it right away."

Hua Dui replied, then left the room.

At that moment, the technician suddenly spoke up:

"The camera across the way has turned on."

Hearing this, Yu Dazhang immediately looked at the computer screen—there appeared a man with streaks of gray hair, his entire face directly facing the lens, clearly visible.

Gu Dingwen!

According to his file, he was 56 years old, but in the video, apart from his gray hair, he looked no older than early forties.

As a physician, Gu Dingwen clearly knew how to maintain his health.

Looking ten years younger wasn’t something an ordinary elderly man could achieve.

"There, you saw it?"

Gu Dingwen held his phone and spun around quickly; as he moved, the scenery behind him shifted rapidly.

Though unclear, it was still visible that behind him were four walls—he was clearly inside a room.

After completing the circle, the screen went dark again, as if he had covered the lens with his hand.

"Let’s get to the point."

Gu Dingwen immediately changed tone:

"I need at least five more girls, aged between 18 and 24, healthy, physically fit, with no defects whatsoever."

Five? Too few—I have seven… Yu Dazhang instantly pictured the squad of female special operatives.

Gu Dingwen’s requirements were tailor-made for them.

All seven female special operatives were aged between 18 and 20—perfectly matching Gu Dingwen’s criteria.

Their physical condition was even better—across the entire country, few could match them.

He had the facts in mind, but Zhang Jiangke didn’t know about this squad.

Please say yes… Yu Dazhang began silently praying.

He feared Zhang Jiangke would find the demand too high and refuse outright.

"Where am I supposed to find them?"

As expected, upon hearing this demand, Zhang Jiangke immediately grew annoyed, complaining:

"You know the situation we’re in—I’m barely keeping myself safe; how could I possibly spare time to find people for you?"

"Besides, I dare not contact those people below anymore—who knows if any of them have been caught? If I reach one who’s already under police control, I’ll be walking straight into their net."

He openly described his predicament—but the more he did so, the less suspicious he seemed.

Clearly, Zhang Jiangke was a master of psychological warfare.

This was fine… Yu Dazhang thought his approach was correct.

Stating facts and reasoning logically was the best way to lower the other’s guard.

If he had agreed immediately, it would have raised suspicion.

"Where there’s a heavy reward, there are brave men."

Gu Dingwen’s voice carried an air of unquestionable confidence:
