Chapter 737: I Just Won't Go Inside

~4 min read 732 words

The car door opened, and four people stepped out.

One of them walked over to the ground beside the warehouse and fumbled around for a while, seemingly searching for something.

After a moment, that person took out a key and opened the warehouse door, and the four of them filed inside one after another.

Because the distance was too far, and combined with the angle of the car lights, Yu Dazhang couldn't make out the features of those people, only their rough outlines.

He wondered whether Gu Ding Wen had also come... Yu Dazhang felt a little anxious inside.

If it were daytime, his eyesight would be sharp enough to see their faces clearly, but at night there was really nothing he could do about it.

Soon, by the light of the car headlights, Yu Dazhang saw those girls being led out of the warehouse by the four men, then shoved into the car one by one.

The garage had fluorescent lights installed inside, but these people hadn't turned them on — clearly they were afraid of unnecessary complications.

This scene feels somewhat familiar... Yu Dazhang couldn't help but sigh to himself.

Back in Xicheng, those seven girls had been taken out of a warehouse just like this, and now the same scene was playing out again over in Songhai.

As the two cars drove off, Yu Dazhang's phone rang.

He had just answered when Captain Xu's voice came through:

"The target vehicles are two seven-seat commercial vans. They've now gotten onto the main road, and judging by the direction, they're heading toward the east side of the city."

The east side of the city? Yu Dazhang had assumed Gu Ding Wen's hideout would be somewhere in the downtown area.

"When you tail them, keep at least a hundred meters of distance at a minimum."

Yu Dazhang said in a commanding tone:

"Even so, you still need to rotate vehicles — the same car can't follow them for too long."

At night, a person with good eyesight can make out the outlines of objects at about a hundred meters, and that's only when there's a light source.

So this distance is the safe distance for tailing.

But you also can't rule out the possibility that the other side is using binoculars to observe, so the necessary precautions still can't be relaxed.

After waiting a while longer, once all the task force vehicles had gotten onto the main road, Yu Dazhang and the others fell in behind them.

This tail lasted a full hour, and by now the communication equipment had all been switched to walkie-talkies.

Another twenty minutes passed, and a report came through the walkie-talkie:

"The target vehicles are starting to slow down. They're expected to turn up ahead."

Hearing this, Yu Dazhang immediately glanced at the electronic map on his phone.

If they turn up ahead, the other side can only be heading for the villa district on the east side of the city, because the only residential area nearby is that one.

Gu Ding Wen and Zhang Qian's thinking actually coincided?

They had both set up their hideouts in a villa district.

Yu Dazhang thought it through carefully and immediately understood why they had made the same choice.

Because for them, a villa offers enough space and also provides a certain degree of concealment.

Regardless of how you look at it, a villa district like this is bound to have a gated entry at the entrance, which keeps outsiders out and naturally provides them with cover.

A few more minutes passed, and another report came through the walkie-talkie from the officers up ahead:

"The target vehicles have entered the villa district up ahead."

Immediately after, Captain Xu's voice came through:

"Teams One and Two take the front gate, the other teams take the side gates on both flanks — even a small door that only a person can pass through needs to have someone posted at it."

Surrounding a villa district was already old hat for Captain Xu.

The next step was to send people in to locate the target villa, lock down the target, and then act in unison.

After Captain Xu had arranged everything, the walkie-talkie fell silent.

Everyone knew this meant they were waiting for Yu Dazhang's order.

Is Gu Ding Wen inside? That was the only question on Yu Dazhang's mind right now.

Not necessarily.
