Chapter 737

The car door opened and four people got out.

One of them walked over to the ground beside the warehouse and fumbled around, as if searching for something.

Soon, that man used a key to unlock the warehouse door, and the four entered one by one.

Due to the distance and the angle of the car headlights, Yu Dazhang couldn’t make out their faces, only their silhouettes.

I wonder if Gu Dingwen came too… Yu Dazhang felt a growing unease.

If it were daytime, his vision could have clearly revealed their faces, but at night, there was simply no way.

Soon, under the glow of the headlights, Yu Dazhang saw the girls being led out by the four men and forced one by one into the vehicles.

The warehouse was equipped with fluorescent lights, but these people hadn’t turned them on—they were clearly avoiding drawing attention.

This scene felt familiar… Yu Dazhang couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Back in Xicheng, these seven girls had been taken from a warehouse; now the same scenario was playing out again in Songkou.

As the two vehicles drove away, Yu Dazhang’s phone rang.

He answered immediately, and Xu Dui’s voice came through:

“The target vehicles are two seven-seat vans; they’ve entered the main road and are heading east.”

East city? Yu Dazhang had assumed Gu Dingwen’s hideout would be inside the urban area.

“When following, maintain at least a hundred-meter distance.”

Yu Dazhang said in a commanding tone:

“Even so, alternate vehicles—no single vehicle can tail them too long.”

At night, a person with good vision could make out object silhouettes at about a hundred meters—only if there was sufficient light.

That distance was the safe tracking range.

But the possibility of them using binoculars to observe couldn’t be ruled out, so precautions mustn’t be relaxed.

After waiting a while longer, as all the task force vehicles pulled onto the main road, Yu Dazhang and his team followed behind.

They trailed for an hour, and all communication devices had been switched to walkie-talkies.

Another twenty minutes passed, then a report crackled over the walkie-talkie:

“Target vehicles are slowing down; they’re expected to turn ahead.”

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

If they turned ahead, the only possible destination was the east city villa district—this area had no other residential zones.

Could Gu Dingwen and Zhang Qian’s thinking have aligned so perfectly?

Both had chosen the villa district as their hideout.

Yu Dazhang quickly understood why they’d made the same choice.

Villas offered them enough space and a degree of concealment.

Regardless, villa districts always had gate controls to keep outsiders out—perfect cover for them.

A few minutes later, another report came over the walkie-talkie:

“Target vehicles have entered the villa district ahead.”

Immediately, Xu Dui’s voice rang out:

“Group One and Group Two take the main gate; all other teams take the side entrances—even tiny foot-only access points must be manned.”

Surrounding a villa district was second nature to Xu Dui.

Next came sending operatives inside to locate the target villa, lock it down, then act in unison.

After Xu Dui finished assigning roles, the walkie-talkie fell silent.

Everyone knew they were waiting for Yu Dazhang’s order.

Is Gu Dingwen inside? That was the only question filling Yu Dazhang’s mind.

Not necessarily.
