After the three of them finished discussing, Lin Feng, who had gone back to get the equipment, still hadn't returned.
However, the person who was summoned to Anbei County to find Deng Kai and the others and keep an eye on them has returned.
The visitor was a soldier in civilian clothes. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he couldn't wait to report their situation to Yan Bin.
"Commander, I..." However, upon seeing that there were two strangers, Shen Mu Ning and Chu Ming Xu, beside Yan Bin, he immediately shut up.
However, since these two were both aware of and involved in this incident, Yan Bin didn't hide it from them.
Instead, he directly asked Jiang Zhan about their situation: "We're all on the same side, so tell me."
"Commander, the man has been found and is under surveillance." The man who came was Jiang Zhan, the company commander of a company brought by Yan Bin.
Although he was puzzled because he had never met these two people before, since the commander had said they were one of their own, there was no point in hiding it.
So he reported on all the work he had done since arriving in Anbei County.
Ever since Yan Bin received Chu Mingxu's call, he has had people investigate the identities of Deng Kai and others in Anbei County based on their names.
He happened to remember that some of the soldiers who had served in his unit had transferred to Anbei County, and he could help investigate these people.
As soon as he arrived in Anbei County, the first thing he did was go to the Public Security Bureau to retrieve their identity information.
That's how they were able to find and monitor everyone Chu Mingxu had mentioned so quickly.
"You guys moved so quickly?" Shen Mu Ning was the most surprised among them.
She thought that Yan Bin and his group had come to Anbei County and needed to find her and Chu Mingxu to learn about those people first.
Unexpectedly, he was able to start planning immediately after receiving the call and quickly find these people.
"Yes, Comrade Shen, now that we know of their existence, we must act immediately."
Yan Bin knew that Chu Mingxu was not a person who spoke without reason; since he had called him, there must be something to it.
That's why he immediately arranged for people to investigate their information.
However, he did not expect that Chu Mingxu was only interested in seeing Deng Kai and others trading antiques with tomb raiders.
And after hearing what Shen Mu Ning said, she immediately contacted him without saying a word.
It can only be said that their mutual trust enabled them to act so quickly.
However, the problem now is that Qian Zhuang is not so easy to keep an eye on.
Before she could even explain his special qualities, these people had already arranged for someone to keep an eye on him?
She had originally thought that she should keep quiet for now, but now it seems she has no choice but to say it.
"Wait, have your men found Qian Zhuang too?"
She first needed to confirm whether Yan Bin's men were actually keeping an eye on Qian Zhuang.
If someone were to follow him now, it would easily alert him, and Qian Zhuang might become desperate and act rashly.
Those who are unprepared may get hurt by him.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhan did not immediately answer her question, but instead consulted Yan Bin first.
Only after Yan Bin nodded in agreement did he reveal the specific details.
"Qian Zhuang wasn't with Deng Kai and the others at the time, and we only confirmed later that he had returned to the scrap yard."
“Our people didn’t have direct contact with him. They asked someone who happened to be coming out of the junkyard and found out that he was already inside.”
"After that, all our people stayed outside to keep watch."
In crowded places, even if these people are stalking someone, they won't attract too much attention.
However, the area around the scrap yard is sparsely populated, so they would be exposed if they showed themselves.
So after confirming that Qian Zhuang was at the scrap yard, he only had him guard the outside.
We'll arrest him once the order comes from above.
Shen Mu Ning breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his words.
She had seen Qian Zhuang's memories before, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was a ruthless killer.
Moreover, he is a capable person, and if Jiang Zhan's men were to follow him, they might be discovered.
"That's good, but hopefully they won't follow him for the time being."
Immediately afterwards, she made this request to Yan Bin.
"This..." Her words completely baffled all three of them.
Qian Zhuang was also involved in the antique trade, so why didn't you follow him?
"Comrade Xiao Shen, what is your reason? Qian Zhuang is also in our arrest plan this time."
When Chu called earlier, he mentioned that Deng Kai and Qian Zhuang seemed to be of similar rank.
Their focus in Anbei County was on these two people.
Logically speaking, she should have noticed the transaction when she witnessed it.
So it's quite puzzling that she's saying this now.
"Let's go inside and talk." After learning Yan Bin's identity from Chu Mingxu, Shen Mu Ning knew she had to tell them the truth.
They had been discussing their plans for the night, and she assumed Yan Bin's side had something else planned, which is why she hadn't spoken up.
But since Jiang Zhan and the others have already had someone keeping an eye on things, it's imperative to tell them the truth.
The three followed Shen Mu Ning into the room and sat down at the table to listen to her explain her reasons.
“Uncle Yan, as I told you before, when I came to the county town ten days ago, I discovered Deng Kai’s men and that courtyard.”
"Actually, I knew something was wrong with Qian Zhuang back then."
She then recounted how she entered the scrap yard and discovered that Qian Zhuang was actually a middle-aged man disguised as an old man.
When the person inevitably brought it up again, he said that he had learned Qian Zhuang's true identity—an assassin—through hypnosis.
However, the people from Liaoning Province seem to be acting very cautiously.
She never received any information about Qian Zhuang's superiors from his memory.
Therefore, all she knew was that he had failed in his assassination attempt on a military officer in Liaoning Province.
They sought refuge at a scrap yard in Anbei County to avoid trouble.
"So, this Qian Zhuang is a professional assassin? And he's from Liaoning Province?"
Yan Bin's expression turned unusually serious when he heard Shen Mu Ning say that Qian Zhuang was a professional assassin.
When he learned that the man had failed in his assassination attempt on a military officer in Liaoning Province and had come here to seek refuge, his expression became more than just grim.
In any case, in Shen Muning's eyes, she probably, or seemed to have seen, what a face so gloomy it was like.
Judging from his behavior, he must know who Qian Zhuang is.
Or rather, did you know about the assassination of a certain officer?
When Shen Mu Ning used her mental power on him before, she didn't get any information about the person he was trying to assassinate.
However, since he was an officer from Liaoning Province, it wasn't surprising that Yan Bin had heard of him.
"Yes, that's all the information I have since I hypnotized him."
"But he knew nothing about other things, not even his superiors or who he had assassinated."
Shen Mu Ning told everyone she knew.
Whether it's one thing or two things, it's still just talking.
Besides, if Yan Bin really knew who Qian Zhuang wanted to assassinate, they might be able to find clues from other sources.
