Zhao Tinghai's back was drenched in sweat, and he immediately said urgently, "Of course you can give me a few more days! I guarantee I'll handle this perfectly!"

"You said it yourself, I'll give you three days at most!" Pang Rui stopped what he was doing, turned around and stared at Zhao Tinghai, saying, "This matter can't be delayed. If they really find out about me, then our whole group will go to hell with you. You should know the consequences!"

Zhao Tinghai wiped the sweat from his forehead, nodded, and said, "Yes, yes, I understand what Boss Pang is saying. I guarantee I'll resolve this matter within three days!"

Pang Rui nodded in satisfaction, then picked up a glass of red wine from the table, took a sip, and waved to his henchman beside him: "Take Boss Zhao home!"

Zhao Tinghai turned towards the other company and headed towards the door. Just as he was about to leave the room, he suddenly turned back and asked, "Boss Pang, given our relationship with the higher-ups, why does Chen Kaiming dare to act so brazenly against us? If it really comes to that, why don't we just take him out this morning? Wouldn't that settle everything once and for all?"

Peng Rui sighed and said, "Is this the end of it? You really think Chen Kaiming is a pushover that you can just get rid of? Don't you think about it? He's not an ordinary person; he's reached the position of Minister of the Department of Arms."

Zhao Tinghai sighed and nodded: "That makes sense. Okay, I'll be going now!"

"Yes, deal with this matter as soon as possible. Also, get those stones that just arrived back to me quickly, otherwise the people above will start making trouble again if the supply here is cut off!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Pang, I'll take care of it right away!"

Then Zhao Tinghai left the room under the escort of bodyguards.

…

At that moment, right across from this building, on the rooftop of a seven-story building, a flash of light suddenly appeared.

Inside this small room, more than a dozen people were crouching, and the one observing with binoculars was Ou Chen.

"Captain Lu, the situation has changed. Zhao Tinghai is preparing to retreat!"

Lu Yuan was standing right behind Ou Chen. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked, "Are the people inside still there?"

"Yes! They're here! Only Zhao Tinghai went out!"

Lu Yuan glanced at Hou Qiang and said, "Keep an eye on him. If he gets away, I'll hold you responsible! If anything unusual happens, report to me via walkie-talkie!"

Hou Qiang was about to salute when Lu Yuan had already grabbed Hei Zi and the others and rushed downstairs.

This is the wealthy district, and it's already noon on the second day. However, the population of the wealthy district is not very large. Apart from hurried passersby, very few people are out. After all, the people in this wealthy district mostly stay in their rooms to freshen up. The air outside is mixed with volcanic ash and a strong smell of sulfur, so they would rather stay at home than go out.

Four or five dilapidated vans belonging to the garrison patrolled the area downstairs, but today they seemed to have a mission to perform, so they followed closely behind and stopped in front of a small building.

Lu Yuan sat in the first car and said to Jiang Jie, "Since such a capable person is still inside, we will arrest him according to the instructions we just gave you. We absolutely cannot make any mistakes this time. Also, we have to go through an alley. Their people are in the alley, so we must not fire any shots when we go in. If we make a noise and alert the higher-ups, they will escape!"

"receive!"

"clear!"

…

The team members responded immediately.

Upon arriving at the designated location, Lu Yuan instructed his men to park the car at some nearby entrances to prevent the people inside from escaping, as no other car could keep up.

Then, Lu Yuan checked the stronger ones in his hand and was about to leave.

Just then, Niu Wen, panting heavily, caught up: "Oh dear, I finally caught up! I almost missed my mission!"

Lu Yuan turned around and glanced at him: "All done?"

"Yeah, just finished!" Niu Wen panted, trying to calm his heaving chest.

Then another person appeared behind him, and Lu Yuan tilted his head to take a look.

"Why did you bring him back too? What's going on? Don't you know our plan can't be exposed casually? Did you bring him here?" Lu Yuan frowned immediately upon seeing Zhou Qi appear behind him.

When Niu Wen heard Lu Yuan pointing at him, he immediately turned around and saw a man following behind him. It was Zhou Qi, and the man had a worried look on his face.

Zhou Qi had a bright and energetic look on his face: "Captain Lu, please let me join your team. I don't know how to thank you enough for saving my wife this time. She's just a worthless life, I hope you don't mind!"

Then the other party pointed directly at Niu Wen and said, "I'm sorry, Lu Yuan, but this whole thing is actually my problem with Niu Wen. He didn't really want me to come, but he couldn't persuade me otherwise. Please let me go this time. I promise I'll be the first one to charge into battle!"

Then Lu Yuan sighed and said, "Alright, you'll be in charge of the cycle. As planned, go to the south intersection and wait there in your car. Once we've captured the person, get in the car immediately. If any of their people come to support us, notify us immediately, understand?"

"Don't worry, Captain!" he said calmly.
