Chapter 288: The Night, It Has Deepened 3

Did something happen?!

The muscles on his face tightened subtly for a moment, only relaxing slightly when Sun Cheng saw Ye Qi still excitedly fiddling with the mechanical pet beside him.

He leaned over to Ye Qi's side, pointed his finger at an inconspicuous spot on the mechanical pet's neck, and reminded her: "Sister, there is a QR code here. After you scan it with your phone, it will take you to our company's website. There are detailed instructions on how to use various functions there, as well as a small app that can be used to control it with your phone... You play with it for a while yourself; I need to go to the restroom..."

"Mm!"

Ye Qi's mind was clearly entirely on the mechanical pet in front of her that knew how to act cute; she didn't even glance at him.

Sun Cheng felt a little disappointed, but this actually made things easier for him. He stood up and gently patted the inner pocket where Xiao Wu was still placed.

Instantly, the vibrating device stopped immediately.

Walking with slow, leisurely steps, Sun Cheng soon entered the restroom.

Closing the door behind him, he entered the innermost stall where the toilet was located, then took out Xiao Wu and asked: "What's the situation?"

Xiao Wu shook and struggled in his hand for a moment; seeing this, Sun Cheng couldn't help but loosen his grip.

Xiao Wu fell accordingly, and before it even hit the ground, it had already transformed back into its Decepticon form. With a sudden spring off the ground, it landed on the edge of the toilet in front of Sun Cheng, and a cold, soft, female-voiced electronic audio output followed.

"Master, the matter regarding the revenge tracking you asked me to look into this afternoon has news..."

"Oh..."

Sun Cheng raised his eyebrows. No wonder Xiao Wu had suddenly signaled him with continuous vibrations; so it was about this.

When he went to the Jichang to pick up Ye Qi this afternoon, he accidentally ran into an 'old friend' he hadn't seen in a long time—Ada Wong.

This woman, surrounded by so much mystery, had left too deep an impression on him.

Especially before, when he had asked Revenge to track her information on the internet, but apart from some data and photos that were likely released by Ada Wong herself on certain social networking sites, Revenge had actually been unable to find anything useful.

All these things made the suspicious Sun Cheng develop a strong sense of vigilance the moment he saw this sexy stunner again, with whom he had once spent a night of intimacy in San Jose.

Therefore, taking advantage of the gap while accompanying Ye Qi and Chen Lan shopping in the afternoon, he found a chance to seek out a deserted place and had Xiao Wu send a remote communication to Revenge, ordering it to hack into the Nandu traffic management system to see if it could lock onto Ada Wong's movement trajectory.

For this, Sun Cheng had specifically noted the intersection and the exact time he had parted ways with Ye Qi!

It looked like Revenge had not let him down, but for more detailed information, he would have to wait until he returned to the bedroom later to seriously interrogate Revenge.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked toward the ventilation duct on the wall of the stall. Through the small glass window, the pitch-black sky outside could be vaguely seen.

The night, it had deepened!

"Slap!"

With a slap on his arm, Tian Li hurriedly lowered his head to look. Where the abnormally unbearable itching sensation had come from on his arm, there was already no trace of a mosquito.

"Damn it, you can't stay outside in Nandu at night; there are mosquitoes everywhere!"

Muttering a curse under his breath, Tian Li scratched the spot on his arm that wouldn't stop itching.

The commotion he made was simply too loud, to the point that one of his two companions could no longer stand it.

"Keep it down..."

William Chen put down the night-vision goggles in his hand with displeasure, turned his head to look at him, his face looking somewhat ugly.

"Tian Li, be quiet!"

The middle-aged man squatting next to Tian Li saw William Chen's ugly expression and hurriedly scolded Tian Li in a low voice, then looked at him somewhat ingratiatingly and said: "Officer, you came suddenly today, and the higher-ups didn't make it clear what kind of Task we are supposed to be assisting you in executing?"

"Don't call me Officer; don't make such a low-level mistake again..." William Chen's expression changed, and he swept a glance at the middle-aged man, looking even uglier; his brow was almost knitted into a ball.

"Damn it, what on earth are the higher-ups thinking!"

Cursing inwardly, William Chen was in a terrible mood right now.

As one of the many Chinese-American agents under the American intelligence agency CIA, he, who had immigrated to the United States since his grandfather's generation, had suffered no shortage of discriminatory treatment in the past due to his Chinese heritage. Even after being recruited by the CIA, it took many years of effort before he obtained the status of Senior Agent and gained the qualifications to lead a team to execute a Task.

In recent years, with the intensifying friction between the two traditional powers in the Asia-Pacific region, China and Japan, the United States, which had considered itself the world leader since World War II, had also inevitably begun to divert more and more energy to focus on the Asia-Pacific region while continuing to confront the red Soviet Union in Europe and the Middle East.

Agents like him, who possessed the standard face of a yellow-skinned person, whether Chinese-American or Japanese-American, finally saw their status begin to rise with the tide.

Originally, having just gone to Japan a while ago to meet with a high-level spy developed by the United States within Japan and bringing back an important piece of intelligence, thus receiving commendations from the agency's top brass, William Chen's mood had been quite good.

But this good mood only lasted until a few days ago, when the higher-ups suddenly assigned him the Task of investigating a Chinese-American woman who had once used the identity of 'Ada Wong', and his miserable days began.

According to the intelligence from the higher-ups, William Chen and his two subordinates targeted the target in the Philippines, a tall and sexy young stunner.

Because the instructions received were only to track and figure out Ada Wong's true identity and background as much as possible, William Chen and his two subordinates, who cooperated tacitly, followed her cautiously, attempting to figure out her background.

However, because of a conflict with a local resident who was looking for trouble in a bar in Manila, one of his subordinates had his head broken and had to stay in Manila to recover from his injuries.

Subsequently, it was discovered that Ada Wong had purchased a plane ticket to China. In a situation where he had no choice, William Chen could only report the situation to the organization while taking his other subordinate to purchase tickets to fly to Shencheng with her.

But what he never expected was that just after leaving the Jichang, an unexpected car accident sent his other subordinate to the hospital as well.

With no other way, William Chen could only urgently ask the organization for help, and these two people beside him named 'Tian Li' and 'Wang Danian' were the two newly developed intelligence personnel urgently transferred from the local area by the CIA to assist in his operation.

Clearly, this was definitely not a wise choice!
