At seven o'clock in the morning, the villa was originally pitch black, but suddenly the lights came on. Lu Yuan and his companion quickly took out their binoculars and looked around. Sure enough, less than a few minutes later, the lights went out, and a man stood inside the door changing his raincoat. Then, the man inside waved to them, and the young man quickly ran over. After the two talked for a while, the middle-aged man nodded and left the villa.
Lu Yuan felt a surge of joy. He had whispered to Chen Ke, "Be very careful when you go over there to block him. I suspect he might have a gun. When I get there, we'll block him on both sides of the road. We absolutely can't let him get away!"
Chen Ke patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Brother Lu, he won't get away!"
Lu Yuan nodded, and then the two of them ran toward the designated location according to their plan.
The other party seemed unaware of the danger and was slowly walking towards Lu Yuan, strolling leisurely in the heavy rain.
As he walked into a hutong (alleyway), he sensed something was wrong. He glanced back but saw no one. He chuckled to himself and continued walking.
However, just as he was about to leave the alley, a person suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked his way. The person was Lu Yuan.
The other person pretended to be nonchalant, lowered their head, and continued walking forward.
Lu Yuan reached out and blocked his way, saying softly, "Lin Qiang, stop running and come with us!"
The man seemed not to hear, and turned to leave. Lu Yuan stepped forward and grabbed the man's raincoat.
At this moment, the man suddenly turned around, a hint of impatience on his face.
"Are you sure you've got the right name? My name isn't Lin Qiang! If you're trying to rob me, you've got the wrong person. I have no food and no money on me right now!"
When Lu Yuan saw the square face, he was immediately shocked. He did not expect that the other party had used a trick on him. The man in front of him was not the middle-aged man Lin Qiang at all, but the young man he had seen before.
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's voice, Chen Ke quickly ran over, but was puzzled when he saw Lu Yuan's surprised expression.
When he saw the man's face, a look of surprise appeared on his face as well.
"This... weren't you inside the villa? How did you get out?" Chen Ke's tone revealed a hint of surprise and anger as he grabbed the young man by the collar and asked sharply.
The young man sneered and said, "Hmph, you? You want to see Mr. Lin, huh? I found you a long time ago, and we also know you've been keeping watch in the nearby buildings all night. Tell me, what do you want? Otherwise, you'll all be staying here tonight!"
Upon hearing the other party's words, Lu Yuan was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that the other party had such a trick up their sleeve. Not only did they not say anything conciliatory, but they also told him and Chen Ke to stay here. He immediately sneered inwardly.
"Please, don't get me wrong. You're in our hands now, not the other way around. Tell us now! Where is Lin Qiang?!"
"Looking for Mr. Lin? Heh, so you're also from the survivor base. Let me tell you, Mr. Lin is gone. He's not here anymore. We were just a decoy. Now that you've found us, you're all doomed!"
After speaking, the other person shook his head, a calm expression on his face. When he talked about death, he didn't seem to have much emotional fluctuation, as if seeing Lu Yuan and the others was like seeing dead people.
As Lu Yuan stared in astonishment at how the other party dared to speak to him like that, he suddenly heard the sound of a pistol being cocked in the distance. Lu Yuan turned around sharply and saw several people standing upstairs, holding guns and pointing them directly at him.
One of them shouted, "Bastard, how dare you try to arrest us? Looks like you don't want to live anymore. Put your hands up, or I'll shoot!"
Lin Chen cursed inwardly, never expecting Mr. Lin to be so cunning, that his subordinates would arrange such a bait, and he had fallen right into their trap.
"Damn it, I actually fell into your trap!" Lu Yuan cursed under his breath, but he was helpless. He could only raise his hands above his head. Although he was very strong now, he was still helpless against a pistol.
Then, Lu Yuan and the other man were tied up and taken into the villa. The young man kicked Lu Yuan in the butt without any politeness. Lu Yuan stumbled and almost fell, but could only silently remember this.
Then the other party led Lu Yuan and Chen Ke to a dimly lit small room. The room had only one small window, and because it was a rainy and gloomy day, the room was pitch black and filled with the smell of urine.
Lu Yuan wrinkled his nose, wanting to cover his mouth and nose, but his arms were tied behind his back, making it impossible for him to move.
The young man walked in, holding a leather whip in his hand, a slight smirk playing on his lips.
"Speak, who sent you? Was it Xia He?" the man asked, pressing a leather whip against Lu Yuan's chin.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but think to himself that he hadn't expected that Xia He was already very strong in the intelligence agency, but these people were actually more accurate than Xia He in terms of intelligence, and even knew who had sent him.
However, Lu Yuan thought about it again and felt that there must be a reason why the other party was able to guess that he was sent by Xia He, perhaps because Xia He had sent people to investigate Lin Qiang many times before.
