Chapter 335 Northwest Bait
The next morning, Su Wantang stood in the study with a huge map spread out in front of her.
On the map, she circled several dots in red in the northwest area.
Lu Jingyan stood behind her, his hands resting on the edge of the table, his gaze fixed on the dots and circles.
"Are these the places you plan to dump?"
Su Wantang nodded, her finger lightly tracing across the map.
“The Mingsha mine, the Gobi Desert, and this uninhabited area.”
“These three places all meet the conditions for the growth of moonflower.”
"I will have Du Kangnian spread the word that I have recently been buying up medicinal herbs in the Northwest."
"Then, have Qin Zheng deliberately reveal a few documents related to the Northwest."
“The people from Eagle’s Nest will definitely take the bait.”
Lu Jingyan remained silent for a few seconds.
"Are you trying to lead them to the northwest?"
Su Wantang turned around and looked at him.
"right."
"The Northwest is a vast and sparsely populated area. If the people from Eagle's Nest really go there, it will cause quite a stir."
"By then, your military should be able to detect it."
Lu Jingyan frowned slightly.
"But this could cause trouble in the Northwest."
Su Wantang smiled.
"So you need to prepare in advance."
"I'll ask Du Kangnian to release the news more slowly."
"This will give you time to prepare your defenses in advance."
Lu Jingyan stared at her for a few seconds, and finally nodded.
"Okay, I understand."
He turned and walked to the window, picked up the phone on the table, and dialed a number.
"Gao Jianjun, come to my house."
Gao Jianjun arrived in less than half an hour.
He came in covered in dust, clearly having just rushed back from outside.
"Commander Lu, sister-in-law."
He nodded to the two of them, then took a document out of his pocket.
“This is the record of our people tracking Joanna last night.”
Su Wantang took the document and opened it to read.
The record shows Joanna's whereabouts after leaving Tangdixuan.
She first went back to the guesthouse that Meng Wan had arranged for her, but after less than an hour, she went out again.
After that, she went to three places.
The first one is a teahouse in the suburbs of Beijing.
The second one is an antique shop.
The third is an abandoned courtyard house.
After reading it, Su Wantang handed the document to Lu Jingyan.
"Are these three places all Eagle's Nest strongholds?"
Gao Jianjun nodded.
"It should be."
"Our men didn't dare get too close, for fear of alerting the enemy."
"However, we had our suspicions about that teahouse and antique shop before."
"Now that Joanna has gone, it's basically confirmed."
Lu Jingyan's face darkened after reading the document.
"Eagle Nest's influence in Beijing is greater than we imagined."
Su Wantang leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes.
"Their ability to infiltrate to this extent certainly didn't happen overnight."
"This time, we must capture them all in one fell swoop."
Gao Jianjun glanced at the two of them and hesitated for a moment.
"Commander Lu, sister-in-law, I have an idea."
"Should we just arrest Joanna?"
Su Wantang opened her eyes and shook her head.
"no."
"Arresting her now would only alert the enemy."
"The people behind her will definitely move immediately."
"By then, we won't be able to catch anything."
Gao Jianjun scratched his head.
"Then what should we do?"
Su Wantang stood up and walked to the map.
"Cast a long line to catch a big fish."
“Let her keep going, we’ll follow her and find out who’s behind her.”
"When the time is right, we'll wipe them all out in one fell swoop."
Gao Jianjun nodded.
"Understood."
He turned to leave, but Su Wantang called him back.
"Chief of Staff, there's one more thing."
Gao Jianjun stopped in his tracks.
"Sister-in-law, please tell me."
Su Wantang took an envelope from the drawer and handed it to him.
"There is a list here."
"They are all people I suspect have connections to the Eagle's Nest."
"Have someone keep a close eye on things, and report any movement immediately."
Gao Jianjun took the envelope and nodded solemnly.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law."
After he left, the room became quiet again.
Lu Jingyan walked to Su Wantang's side and hugged her from behind.
Are you tired?
Su Wantang shook her head.
"Not tired."
"It's just a bit annoying."
Lu Jingyan rested his chin on her shoulder.
Don't overthink it.
"I'm here."
Su Wantang smiled but didn't say anything.
She knew that the days to come would not be peaceful.
The people at Eagle's Nest are definitely going to make some big moves.
And she, too, had to be prepared.
......
After Lu Jingyan left, Su Wantang returned to her study.
She opened the Begonia Space and entered the Inheritance Book Pavilion.
The library was filled with various books left by my mother.
She stood in front of the bookshelf for a while, and finally picked up a book called "The Mindset of Business Warfare".
Opening the book reveals a collection of business strategies.
One chapter specifically discusses how to counter infiltration and counter-espionage tactics.
Su Wantang looked at it carefully and had a better understanding of the situation.
She closed the book and walked into the medicinal herb field in the space.
In the medicinal herb field, a batch of newly purchased rare medicinal herbs are planted.
She picked up a ladle, scooped up a ladle of spiritual spring water, and poured it onto the medicinal herbs.
The leaves of the medicinal herbs immediately became even greener.
Su Wantang nodded in satisfaction.
This batch of medicinal herbs was what she prepared for her upcoming actions.
Whether used for trading or for saving lives, it can be put to good use.
She stayed in the space for a while before leaving.
Back in the study, Lu Jingyan was already waiting for her.
He sat in a chair, holding a document in his hand.
He looked up when he saw her come out.
"Wantang, news has come from the Northwest."
"There is unusual activity at the border."
Su Wantang walked over and took the document.
It records the latest situation on the northwestern border.
Several unidentified groups are active near the border.
Moreover, their target was the area around the Mingsha mine.
Su Wantang frowned slightly after reading it.
"It seems the people at Eagle's Nest have already begun their operation."
Lu Jingyan nodded.
"I have already reported this to my superiors."
"They will send people to the Northwest to set up defenses in advance."
Su Wantang placed the documents on the table.
"That's good."
"Now, let's see if the people at Eagle's Nest will take the bait."
Lu Jingyan stood up and walked to her side.
"Wantang, are you tired?"
Su Wantang shook her head.
"Not tired."
Lu Jingyan hugged her from behind, his hand gently resting on her slightly protruding belly.
"Was my baby a good boy/girl today?"
Su Wantang smiled.
"It's alright, it just kicks me occasionally."
Lu Jingyan lowered his head and whispered in her ear.
"Wantang, no matter how difficult the road ahead may be, I will fight alongside you."
I will protect you.
Su Wantang turned around and hugged him.
"I know."
"With you here, I'm not afraid of anything."
The two hugged for a while before Lu Jingyan let go.
"You rest first, I have something to take care of."
Su Wantang nodded.
After Lu Jingyan left, she sat in a chair and looked out at the night view.
