Luo Zidong then rushed to Fu Yaozu's home to personally inquire about the assassination attempt.

However, the result was very disappointing to him, because Fu Yaozu knew that he actually had less information than Lei Daming. From the moment he was shot, to when he was shot twice and hid in a car, to when he was rescued by Xu Yongchang, in just a few seconds, he was too busy escaping to observe anything else. Therefore, Luo Zidong did not get any useful information.

Luo Zidong returned home disappointed. He instructed Zhao Rong to protect Fu Yaozu carefully, and then led his men out of Fu Yaozu's house.

He stood at the door of Fu Yaozu's house, not getting into the car immediately, but looking around thoughtfully. Then he turned to Yan Xing and instructed, "These agents want to target Fu Yaozu, so they will definitely monitor him. Send more people to inquire around this area and see if there are any new residents who have moved in recently, starting from a month ago. If they are from out of town, be extra careful. In short, check every household where you can see Fu Yaozu's front door. Don't miss any. Let me know immediately once you find them."

"Yes!" Yan Xing and the gang members beside him quickly agreed. They were all Luo Zidong's subordinates who had followed him for many years and were very capable. After receiving the order, they immediately arranged for people to take action.

The results of their inquiries came in the very next day. Taking advantage of their familiarity with the area, the gang members quickly went through all the residents near Fu Yaozu's house.

Just as Luo Zidong had predicted, Yan Xing found a suspicious tenant in the area defined by Luo Zidong. The location was on the second floor of an apartment building not far from Fu Yaozu's house. This tenant had just moved in a month ago. According to the landlord, the tenants were two young men, and their accents did not indicate that they were locals.

Upon receiving the report from his subordinates, Luo Zidong was overjoyed. His opponent had indeed revealed his whereabouts. He immediately mobilized his gang members and rushed over as quickly as possible.

At this moment, several Green Gang members who were in charge of monitoring quickly came forward.

"Have you seen the people inside come out?" Luo Zidong asked in a low voice.

Several gang members shook their heads. One of the gang leader's disciples replied, "Since we found out about them, we haven't seen either of them show up. There seems to be no movement at all inside the house."

Luo Zidong couldn't help but feel puzzled. He had a vague feeling that something was wrong; the other party might not be there anymore. He immediately waved his hand and said, "Go in and see what these people are doing."

The men immediately drew their guns and crept toward the rented room. Soon, the door was kicked open, and everyone rushed inside. But Yan Xing quickly returned and reported to Luo Zidong, "Brother Dong, the room is empty. There's no one there."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zidong knew that his previous feeling had indeed come true. He quickly entered the rented room, only to find it empty; the person was long gone.

He reached out and wiped the surface of the table. It was clean and dust-free. There was a extinguished cigarette butt in the ashtray on the table, and the ashes were still intact, indicating that the occupants had not been gone for long.

He went to the window and peered out to observe. Sure enough, he could clearly see the front door of Fu Yaozu's house from there.

This was indeed a good spot for surveillance. Luo Zidong couldn't help but stomp his foot inwardly. They were just one step too late. These government intelligence agents were no ordinary people. They must have heard the news and left immediately.

These people are efficient and decisive in their actions, leaving no room for the enemy to take advantage. Thinking of this, Luo Zidong couldn't help but feel a little worried. His opponent this time was no ordinary person. If he didn't handle it well, even if he had the advantage of numbers, the outcome might be hard to say.

At that very moment, the person Luo Zidong was desperately trying to find was also trying to find out Lu Tianqiao's whereabouts.

A middle-aged man in a trench coat was sitting in a private room of a coffee shop, taking a small sip of coffee.

He had a small mustache, slight wrinkles around his eyes, and an ordinary, unremarkable face. Even Ji Hongyi, sitting opposite him, would be hard to recognize as his boss if he hadn't seen him in person.

Ning Zhiheng sipped his coffee while peering through the window at a tall building across the street.

A prominent sign next to the building reads "Guangyuan Metropolis" in large characters.

"This is Lu Tianqiao's property, and it's also the largest entertainment venue in the French Concession. The top two floors are casinos." Ji Hongyi pointed to the top floor of the building and explained in detail, "Lu Tianqiao's biggest hobby is gambling. He's practically addicted to gambling. After he made his fortune, he opened the largest casino in the French Concession. Whenever he has time, he comes here to gamble every night."

"How did he arrange his travel time to and from the destination?" Ning Zhiheng then asked.

“His arrival time at Guangyuan Metropolitan is not fixed. He usually returns around 11 p.m., but sometimes it’s too late, so he stays here overnight. It’s hard for us to keep track of his specific itinerary,” Ji Hongyi replied, shaking his head.

For the past two days, he had been monitoring and inquiring about Lu Tianqiao's whereabouts and habits. Fortunately, Lu Tianqiao was a prominent figure in Shanghai, and many people knew his preferences and habits, so it was not difficult to find out. However, Lu Tianqiao's whereabouts were not regular. The only thing that could be used was his gambling addiction. Therefore, Ning Zhiheng also focused his attention on Guangyuan Metropolis.

Ning Zhiheng shook his head as he looked at the tall building. Guangyuan Metropolis was one of Lu Tianqiao’s main strongholds, filled with his Green Gang disciples. There were plenty of people there. It would be too risky to carry out an operation to eliminate traitors here. If he got entangled with the Green Gang disciples, he would have to pay a price.
