Chapter 289: Night, It Has Grown Late 4

Even if he was deeply dissatisfied in his heart, William Chen could not afford to show too much emotion.

At thirty-four years old this year, although he was in his prime, he had also been in the business for nearly ten years.

His training at the CIA, along with his experiences over dozens of past Tasks, made William Chen realize that he might have encountered big trouble.

"I'm afraid I've already been exposed!"

He lost one subordinate at a Manila tavern, and after arriving in Shencheng, he lost another.

William Chen did not believe there were truly such coincidences in the world, so he did indeed realize he might have been exposed and reported it to his superiors.

However, he did not know what his superiors were thinking; they had actually only transferred two newly developed intelligence personnel from China to act as his assistants.

Looking at their clumsy performance, William Chen even suspected that someone above was very dissatisfied with him, which was why they deliberately sent these two people, who clearly hadn't received much professional training, to make his Task fail.

Shaking his head to cast all those terrible emotions to the back of his mind, William Chen whispered instructions to the two newcomers beside him, "I don't know why the China branch sent you here to help me, but pay attention—our target this time is not simple!"

It was indeed not simple; although he had only been tracking Ada Wong for less than a week since receiving the Task, they had lost the target several times in the past week, and even his two subordinates were now being detained by the Philippines and China respectively.

To the point that he even began to suspect his tracking operation had already been exposed.

"Alright, Mr. William. We understand..."

Tian Li and Wang Danian exchanged a glance, both seeing the disapproval on the other's face.

But they still looked after his face in the end, chiming in with an agreement, each picking up a pair of night-vision devices and staring at the hotel not far away.

This small movement was naturally taken in by William Chen, who was accustomed to reading people's expressions; he snorted coldly in his heart but didn't say anything more.

The CIA spent billions of dollars in funding every year to maintain a vast intelligence network overseas, which included defected officials and opposition members from various countries, as well as entrepreneurs and intellectuals, and of course, more were just some seemingly inconspicuous small characters.

For example, this Tian Li and Wang Danian; one was a policeman in a district of Nandu, and the other worked at a traffic control center. They seemed inconspicuous but could do many things at critical moments, and they both possessed certain combat skills.

William Chen had read their files; one was greedy for money and the other was power-hungry. The CIA China branch used a few tricks to develop them into their intelligence network in Nandu, and they had helped the CIA accomplish quite a few things in the past.

It was just that this time, the higher-ups had clearly made a mistake.

Shaking his head, his fingers gripping the night-vision device tightened involuntarily.

Located on the banks of the Yangtze River, the mosquitoes had become annoying demons in Nandu on nights in late May.

They were omnipresent, drilling through the gaps in the car windows into the vehicle parked by the roadside, constantly leaving behind one Zhanshun after another on William Chen and the others.

So much so that after more than an hour, not only did Tian Li, who had several more itchy spots on his body, start cursing, but even William Chen felt his mood growing increasingly irritable because of a bite on his fingertip.

"Chie... Mr. William, how much longer do we have to watch here..."

Wang Danian squeezed a shriveled cigarette pack and glanced at the motionless hotel entrance not far outside the car as he asked.

"I don't know..." William Chen shook his head, "Tomorrow I will request others to replace you, but don't plan on sleeping tonight..."

They were not professional intelligence personnel after all; when Wang Danian and Tian Li heard this, their faces turned a bit green.

Exchanging a glance, Tian Li licked his lips, "Mr. William, since we have to watch all night, why don't I go out and buy some water and food, and pick up some mosquito repellent while I'm at it. Otherwise, this night will be really hard to get through..."

"Exactly, exactly..."

Seeing that both of them had bitter expressions, William Chen thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.

"Fine, don't take too long, go and return quickly!"

"Very soon..."

"Buy me a pack of cigarettes while you're at it..."

"Understood..."

Seeing him nod, Tian Li was overjoyed and just about to open the door to get out.

Suddenly, William, who was staring at the hotel entrance, had his expression change and hurriedly called out to him: "Wait, there's a situation..."

Quickly rising and grabbing Tian Li, who was about to open the car door, William Chen pointed toward the hotel, "Target appeared, stay quiet..."

The car window was quickly rolled up. He watched the hotel entrance cautiously. Through the night-vision device, he could clearly see Ada Wong, whom he had been tracking for nearly a week, now carrying a lady's handbag, walking with a sexy cat-like gait, quickly exiting the hotel and arriving at the roadside, standing there as if preparing to hail a taxi to leave.

A taxi soon pulled over. Seeing Ada Wong lean in as if preparing to get in and leave, a faint smile finally appeared on William Chen's face.

Since he had been tailing her after arriving in Nandu in the afternoon, William Chen noticed that Ada Wong used her mobile phone frequently. Although this couldn't prove anything, there was a possibility that she was contacting someone to meet up.

This was good news. With the CIA's terrifying intelligence network, he wasn't afraid of the target hiding deep, because as long as she revealed even a small slip-up, the CIA could follow the clues all the way, dragging out Ada Wong's secrets and the organization behind her, if it existed, all at once.

"Sit tight..."

Seeing the taxi start, William Chen immediately ignited the engine as well, driving and following dozens of meters behind, biting onto that taxi tightly.

The car wound through the city for a while, soon heading toward a remote area in the suburbs.

After driving for about twenty minutes, the taxi finally stopped at the entrance of a very remote street in the suburbs.

After getting out of the car, Ada Wong seemed to look around vigilantly, then immediately took out her phone from her pocket and dialed a call.

William Chen cautiously parked the car in an inconspicuous spot by the roadside. Seeing the target walk straight into the depths of the street after finishing the call, his heart suddenly jumped.

"... Not good, she might have arranged to meet someone here!"

Hurriedly opening the car door, he glanced at Tian Li and Wang Danian and instructed: "You two stay outside and keep watch, I'll go follow and see... Remember, if I haven't come out or contacted you in half an hour, leave immediately and notify the higher-ups..."

After giving the instructions, without waiting for Tian Li and Wang Danian to speak, he reached one hand into his chest, his fingertips pressing against the weapon hidden under his ribs, and got out of the car, immediately chasing into the street where Ada Wong had disappeared.

He had only walked a few steps into the street when his nose suddenly caught a trace of sweet fragrance.

Subconsciously standing still and becoming vigilant, a soft sound of a heavy object landing suddenly came from the side, and the next moment a fragrant breeze struck, steadily hitting his neck.

In the moment he fainted, he saw a pair of sexy, slender, beautiful legs slowly retracting, while a sweet, cloying voice appeared faintly, "Reflexes are quite fast... should I say as expected of a CIA dog... a Senior Agent, this fire is enough to burn..."
