Chapter 1969: Tactics With Socialist Characteristics
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The two of them returned to the car. Feng Weihao’s expression was abnormally ugly.

It was no wonder why he was like this. The mission was about to be completed, but an accident happened midway. He could not accept such a thing.

This caused all his previous efforts to be in vain.

“How’s the situation over there?”

On the other end of the phone, Fang Shihong’s tone was relaxed. He did not think that his plan would go wrong.

“It failed.” Feng Weihao said.

“Just as we were about to succeed, the Central Guards Brigade took the corpse away.”

“Took it away?” Fang Shihong’s tone instantly rose. “Could you guys have been exposed?”

“No, everything was going smoothly. But just now, they took it away and spoke to us politely. They even treated us as staff of the hospital. However, the reason why they did this is unclear.”

On the other end of the phone, Fang Shihong was silent for a moment. “You guys come back first. We’ll arrange for further actions later.”

“Yes!”

“What did the young master say?”

After Feng Weihao hung up, Zheng Yaoming asked.

“Young Master asked us to go back first and temporarily give up on the mission here.”

“I’ll call Wenli and the others.” Zheng Yaoming took out his phone and dialed Shen Wenli’s number.

“Change of mission. Withdraw.”

“I have a problem here. You guys go first.”

“What happened to you?” Zheng Yaoming asked in surprise.

“We ran into traffic police on the way. They’re checking the trucks. We and the other trucks have been taken away.”

“What the hell? Why are they checking the truck?”

“It’s not just the trucks. There are also a few family cars that are being inspected.” Shen Wenli said.

“They said this month is Zhonghai’s anti-contraband awareness month, so they set up a checkpoint at the intersection for inspections. We’ve been caught up in this publicity stunt.”

“Damn it!”

Zheng Yaoming cursed, “It’s probably not a big deal. They should let you go soon. I’ll contact you then.”

“Alright.”

Neither of them realized that this was all part of Lin Yi’s plan.

Such tactics, filled with socialist characteristics, were not commonly seen by those who came from Hong Kong.

Meanwhile, in the Land Cruiser, Lin Yi and the others were already heading towards the Zhonghai garrison area.

“You had us take action because you found out something?” Ning Che asked hurriedly.

“The two drivers are the ones sent by the enemy.”

“What? The drivers?”

Hearing this, all three were surprised. None of them had expected that the enemy had infiltrated the ambulance.

“Surprised?” Lin Yi said with a smile.

“I only found out because I was lying in the car and overheard them talking.”

“Any important clues?” Liu Hong asked.

“The person Yuluo and I encountered on the boat is named Chen Canrong. Judging by the name, he should be from Shianggang. Inform the brigade to check on this person; we might find some leads.”

Liu Hong nodded. “Now that we have information on the mastermind, we can determine who is behind this.”

“They refer to the real mastermind as ‘Young Master.’ He should be the son of some organization’s leader. We need to investigate this as well to see if we can match the information.”

“Additionally, among those involved, there’s someone named Wenli, who seems to be a woman.”

“You wanted us to intercept the truck; does it have something to do with this woman?”

“Exactly. Their plan was to act in a congested area. The ambulance would then run a red light, and a truck would be there to pick them up. They would jump into the truck and escape, making it impossible to catch them.”

“Such a plan is indeed seamless,” Qiu Yuluo said.

“Who would disagree? Even I have to admire their ingenuity,” Lin Yi said.

“Boss, ask the traffic police in front to see if there’s anyone called Wenli who has a Shianggang accent.”

“What do you want to do? Do you want to bring her back for questioning?”

Lin Yi shook his head. “Just a simple interrogation. It’s best if you can find any relevant information about her. It doesn’t matter if you can’t.”

Ning Che’s eyes darted around before she said,

“You told us to keep quiet and not attack those two people. Are you afraid of alerting the enemy?”

“That’s right. They will probably return to Shianggang immediately. The other party will let down their guard, which will make it easier for us to move.”

“Alright, I’ll get the traffic police to bring her back for interrogation and look into this person called Chen Canrong.”

“Okay.”

After discussing everything, everyone returned to Zhonghai’s garrison area.

Because Lin Yi couldn’t show his face yet, the garrison was the best place to stay.

…

That afternoon, a flight from Zhonghai to Shianggang slowly landed.

Feng Weihao and Zheng Yaoming brought the four of them back to Shianggang in batches.

At this moment, two cars had already stopped at the airport entrance.

After leaving the terminal, the six of them got into their cars.

About an hour later, two cars stopped at a place called Luyu Teahouse.

The teahouse was three stories high, but not very large in area.

Named after the famous Chinese tea sage Luyu, the teahouse’s name alone indicated its high quality and scale.

Otherwise, tea-loving people from Shianggang would have criticized it to no end.

The two cars stopped at the entrance, and six people got out. However, only Feng Weihao and Zheng Yaoming entered the teahouse, while the other four remained at the door.

Inside, the teahouse was eerily quiet, with even the servers replaced by black-clad guards, making the security extremely tight.

Only the fragrance permeating the teahouse somewhat softened the tense atmosphere, making it less intimidating.

The two men went straight to the third floor, where Fang Shihong sat on a wooden bench made of top-grade yellow pear wood, exuding an antique charm and significant value.

“Young Master.”

Seeing Fang Shihong, the two bowed deeply, a full 90 degrees, showing utmost respect.

Fang Shihong’s face was expressionless as he spoke calmly.

“Tell me specifically what happened and where the problem was.”

“They might have been prepared,” Feng Weihao said.

“Prepared? What do you mean?”

“I suspect they anticipated that we would target Lin Yi’s body. Fearing something might happen on the way, they picked him up halfway.”

“Was your information compromised?”

“Impossible,” Feng Weihao replied.

“We drove into the hospital at dawn and didn’t interact with anyone. Even when we took action, there were no mistakes. I can guarantee that.”

Fang Shihong didn’t speak and fell into deep thought.

Harris, Li Zicheng, and Xu Jiahao were all under Fang Dezhong, while Feng Weihao and Zheng Yaoming were personally trained by him.

He was very familiar with their methods and didn’t believe they would make such minor errors.

So what was the problem?

And what did the Central Guards Brigade sense?
