Chapter 3147: A wild goose leaves a trace

For a project of at least 40 billion US dollars like Changying Automobile, the preparation time left for Ye Chen and the An family was actually quite hasty.

Even if the press conference was about to be held, many details still needed to be communicated and perfected, and it was not ruled out that some places needed to be temporarily changed and adjusted.

Ye Chen spent the whole morning finalizing all the details he could think of with everyone, and then stayed at the Bai Jinhangong to have lunch with his grandfather, maternal grandparents, and others. His wife Xiao Churan drove her own car when she went out in the morning, so Ye Chen didn't need to pick her up, just wait for her at the Bai Jinhangong.

When Ye Chen was still having lunch with his family, the press conference site had already begun to allow media engineers to enter early to build equipment.

This time, although there were many media reporters participating, the staff of the Bai Jinhangong still made an orderly response plan. Each media had its own exclusive seat and camera position. Seats were left for reporters, and camera positions were left for photographers. In addition, multiple hotel rooms were opened to provide media with behind-the-scenes work. Some behind-the-scenes directors could remotely command reporters to ask questions, command photographers how to hold the camera, and where the lens should focus.

Therefore, at noon, the staff responsible for shooting equipment and lines had already begun to enter the venue and build equipment at their respective designated camera positions.

Due to the widespread attention paid to the cooperation between the two families this time, although the press conference had not yet started, the media that had built the equipment in advance had already begun live streaming online, pushing the live video of the press conference site to the Internet in real time. Many people also started to enter the live broadcast rooms of major media early to wait, just like the gossipers who usually like to watch mobile phone and car manufacturer press conferences.

Even Wu Feiyan, who was near the polar region in the southern hemisphere, was paying close attention to this cooperation between the two families.

At this moment, she was focusing on the press conference site in front of a huge screen.

Although neither the An family nor the Ye family appeared, she still watched intently.

Beside her was her most trusted military advisor, Wu Tianlin, a direct descendant of the Wu family.

Wu Tianlin, who was over a hundred years old, said respectfully to Wu Feiyan at this moment: "English Lord, the subordinate has learned that the An family and the Ye family are going to cooperate in new energy vehicles this time. They have already reached an agreement with Jin Ling and obtained land and relevant approvals. Currently, this matter is still in a confidential stage. The press conference today should be to announce this action to the outside world."

Wu Feiyan nodded and said coldly: "The An family and the Ye family have actually joined hands again. I really didn't expect this. These two families have always had estrangements. I didn't expect that these estrangements would disappear as soon as they said so."

Wu Tianlin said: "Back to English Lord, the estrangement between these two families does exist. It seems that from the beginning, the An family had a lot of opinions about Ye Changying bringing An Chengxi back to China. Later, An Chengxi and Ye Changying were beheaded by the Changsheng Earl, and their children's whereabouts were unknown. The An family was even more dissatisfied with the Ye family."

Wu Feiyan asked back: "Then why do you think they have reconciled now, and even want to join hands to cooperate?"

Wu Tianlin said: "Back to English Lord, in the subordinate's view, it is not strange that these two families joined hands. There are three reasons:"

"First, the An family escaped from several exterminations by luck, and their spirit must have been greatly damaged. Before, they might have been high above, but now they must be much more low-key. Facing the Ye family, they shouldn't be as arrogant and eye-high as before;"

"Second, they encountered extermination crises several times, and there was a mysterious person secretly helping. Perhaps they had long known the hidden truth, knowing that the death of An Chengxi and Ye Changying was not caused by the Ye family, which would also give the An family a lot of room to ease their attitude towards the Ye family;"

"Third, the An family must be very afraid of you now, so they moved their whole family to China, and even spared no effort to invest a large amount of funds in China, in exchange for official affirmation and protection. Since they have started long-term layout in China, it means they will use China as their base in the future, so they must consolidate the safety and reliability of their base as much as possible. In such a special time, having one more friend is far better than having one more enemy."

Wu Feiyan nodded gently and didn't delve into this matter. In her view, neither the An family nor the Ye family was the most important. The most important thing was that she must find the mysterious person behind the An family. He was her biggest threat.

At this time, the background sound of the live broadcast press conference site suddenly came: "Please media friends start to enter, countdown one hour before the press conference starts."

Wu Feiyan stared at the video screen and muttered to herself: "An Chengxi must be in some place now, watching the same live broadcast screen, seeing her maternal family and her father-in-law reconcile, she should be very gratified."

Wu Tianlin said: "English Lord, since you have always believed that An Chengxi is still alive, could this cooperation between the An family and the Ye family be secretly brokered by An Chengxi?"

"No." Wu Feiyan said decisively: "An Chengxi is a rare talent in this world today. If she is still alive, she must be able to distinguish between pros and cons. She has endured for twenty years, and she will never lose her mind at this time."

Speaking of this, Wu Feiyan said with concern: "What I am most worried about now is whether she and that mysterious person have any contact. If not, it is easy to say. If there is, it is really a bit thorny."

Wu Tianlin hurriedly said: "English Lord, the subordinate feels that although we have entered a dormant period as a whole, that mysterious person may not know how to stop when he is ahead. Maybe he is secretly plotting now, wanting to find an opportunity to continue to attack us. Our dead soldier stations distributed all over the world are likely to be his next attack targets. If we can predict his next target and send the three elders to ambush in advance, maybe we can achieve success in one battle!"

Wu Feiyan frowned and said: "The Anti-Qing Society has built dozens of dead soldier stations of various sizes all over the world for hundreds of years. Who can guess which one his next target is? Since the four earls are not his opponents, the only ones who really have a chance to defeat him, except me, are the three elders. We add up to no more than four people, and we can ambush at most four stations. The probability of betting right is less than one-tenth."

Wu Tianlin had a flash of inspiration and said again: "English Lord, can we deliberately release some clues for him to capture? Lead him by the nose, and he will definitely fall into our trap!"

Wu Feiyan nodded and said subconsciously: "The idea is good, but how to release clues so as not to be suspected by him? This person is not only cautious, but also must have mastered some of our loopholes. Otherwise, it is impossible for him to appear in Northern Europe in time to save Lin Wan'er, and it is impossible for him to find our station in Cyprus. For such an enemy, wanting to lure him into the trap is not so easy."

Wu Tianlin thought of something and hurriedly said: "English Lord, if he really masters our loopholes, with our entry into the dormant period, those loopholes will also be closed. Since this is the case, let us restart all the people and things related to the capture of Lin Wan'er and the Cyprus station. In that case, the loopholes will also be opened again."

A light suddenly flashed in Wu Feiyan's eyes, and she blurted out: "I suddenly thought of a question. The first time we suffered losses under his hands should be the time when we sent dead soldiers to New York wanting to wipe out the An family."

"That's right." Wu Tianlin nodded and said: "That time all the dead soldiers went missing."

Wu Feiyan added: "According to common sense, dead soldiers cannot know where they came from, so they cannot leak information to that person. But that person later appeared in Northern Europe in time and saved Lin Wan'er, and later found Cyprus..."

Speaking of this, Wu Feiyan asked Wu Tianlin: "The Xiaoqiwei who went to capture Lin Wan'er that time were sent from Cyprus, right?"

"Yes." Wu Tianlin said: "The intelligence came urgently at that time, and Lin Wan'er had already packed her luggage and was preparing to leave Northern Europe. Although we wanted to send the four earls over, it was too late in time. In order to avoid missing the opportunity, we transferred people from Cyprus over."

Wu Feiyan frowned and asked him: "Could it be that the planes we used to transport dead soldiers and Xiaoqiwei were mastered by him? If he located our planes, then wherever our planes go, he will get information!"

Wu Tianlin widened his eyes instantly and blurted out: "Planes... the subordinate deserves to die! The subordinate has been thinking about who leaked the secret, how could I not think that the problem might be with the planes!"

As he spoke, Wu Tianlin added: "During that period, our personnel and material mobilization were all using the shell of the Singapore Far East International Express Company. Now it seems that the biggest possibility is that he knew this airline was under our command, so he mastered our every move through the planes under this airline!"

Wu Feiyan clenched her fists and made a clicking sound, and said coldly: "A wild goose leaves a trace, not to mention a plane weighing a hundred tons! I didn't think of this point earlier!"

Wu Tianlin hurriedly said: "English Lord, you don't have to blame yourself. The subordinate feels that it is not too late to mend the fold. We can take advantage of this dormancy to seal all previous planes and no longer use them to eliminate future troubles. But the planes of Far East Express, we can intentionally let them operate. Once they move, the other party will definitely know. At that time, these few planes will become the reins for us to lead him by the nose!"

Wu Feiyan said sternly: "These few planes can be used, but they can never be used so simply and directly. The entire Anti-Qing Society has already entered dormancy. Only these few planes have moved. The other party will definitely suspect that this is a trap. If they know it is a trap, no matter how we act, the other party will not take the bait."

Wu Tianlin asked: "English Lord, then what do you mean?"

Wu Feiyan said: "To set a trap, we must enhance credibility as much as possible. You first let the Central Military Governor's Office responsible for this airline secretly transfer this airline, and then let the Left Military Governor's Office in North America designate a shell company to buy this company back. First complete a left-hand-to-right-hand transfer, and then find some serious logistics business to let the planes move first. After every plane moves, we will set a trap for him to see if he will take the bait!" ===== CHAPTER 3148 =====
