Even through the screen, Qiao Wanwan could feel his gritted teeth.
"Think it over carefully, I'll wait for your news."
As soon as Qiao Wanwan finished speaking, the other party hung up the phone.
"Wanwan, he really can't hold on any longer!" Zhan Yin asked impatiently from the side, "Is your poison really that potent? What are the reactions after being poisoned?"
"The pain is unbearable," Qiao Wanwan said coldly. "Back then, he poisoned Jing Ting, and the pain was so bad that he couldn't even stand up. Of course, I have to return the favor to him."
"Yes! We need to teach him a lesson! Otherwise, he'll really think we're pushovers!"
Qiao Wanwan looked at Zhan Jingting's computer screen. The signal had been restored, indicating that the SIM card had been destroyed immediately.
"Jingting, can the police catch up with them?"
Zhan Jingting shook his head. "This place is not in the city center, and there are no police officers stationed around it. It's impossible to get there in such a short time."
Qiao Wanwan also thought of it, "Yes, he couldn't possibly not know that the police are cooperating with us, so naturally he wouldn't let himself be caught so easily. But we didn't come away empty-handed!"
Zhan Jingting was intrigued. "Tell me about it."
"As the old saying goes, too much talk leads to mistakes. During today's phone call, he lost control of his emotions and revealed a lot of things," Qiao Wanwan analyzed. "Our previous understanding of him was that he was cunning, treacherous, intelligent and arrogant, and cold-blooded. Today, I found that he is easily agitated and is not as calm as we imagined. On the contrary, he is very impatient."
“That’s right. The police officers at our gate weren’t in plainclothes; they were just standing there openly. He knew all about it, yet he still arranged for someone to cause an explosion. He couldn’t possibly be unaware of the consequences of such an explosion. This shows that he can’t handle being provoked. Once provoked, he’ll act out of control.” Zhan Jingting looked at her. “Before, we were completely unprepared. He was secretly plotting, and everything was under his control, so he was able to remain calm. But now that things are gradually getting out of control, it’s hard for him not to expose his weaknesses.”
“Great, this is a very important discovery. As long as we grasp this point, we can find a way to get him to reveal more.”
"yes."
Qiao Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt more confident.
Zhan Jingting smiled gently, "You have an idea?"
"If there's a weakness, there's bound to be a way to exploit it!"
"Then I'll wait and see."
Around nine o'clock, Qiao Wanwan, just like the previous two days, video-chatted with several children.
"Eleventh, Little Nine, how's everything at home?"
"Okay, Uncle said if we stay home and ensure our safety, Daddy and Mommy can go catch bad guys without worry. Mommy, when are you coming back?"
"We'll be back once the bad guys are caught. You all need to help your uncle take care of Grandma and the others, okay?"
"good."
The two children answered in unison.
Qiao Wanwan chatted with them for a while, then Huo Shiqian came in, took his phone, and went to the terrace. "How are things on your end?"
"It went smoothly. The other party has been poisoned by the poison I developed. Now we just need to wait for him to lose his temper and make a deal with me to get Zaozao back."
"I'm glad everything went smoothly. Everything is fine at home, so you don't need to worry."
"Thank you, brother." Qiao Wanwan asked, "Has Lixuan come to our house these past few days?"
"No, I've done as you said and arranged for bodyguards to protect him secretly. The bodyguards report to me every day, and he's doing well."
Qiao Wanwan nodded. "Although the enemy's focus is on us now, we still have to be wary of the capital. We must protect both Li Xuan and Zhan Xiuwen to prevent anyone else from being harmed."
"Don't worry, Zhan Xiuwen is fine. He'll be alright as long as he stays at home."
"good."
After exchanging a few words, Qiao Wanwan hung up the phone and continued researching the antidote.
Zhan Jingting was busy at his computer, and the two of them were each busy with their own things, but there was a sense of peace and tranquility.
Qiao Wanwan prepared the antidote and experimented on mice. During a break, she stretched her muscles and went over to check on things. "Jingting, what are you doing?"
"Looking for someone."
Qiao Wanwan stepped forward and saw that he was investigating local drug lords. She asked curiously, "Do you suspect that the mastermind behind this industry is involved?"
“The Golden Triangle is the most profitable area, and money is the key to expanding influence, so it’s not impossible,” Zhan Jingting said. “However, from what I’ve gathered, none of these leaders are Chinese.”
“There’s a reason to investigate in this direction,” Qiao Wanwan pondered. “If he’s well hidden, it’s not impossible that he’s not on the police’s list of ringleaders. I think we can investigate further.”
"That's easy. Just ask someone who's in this business. They should be able to find out something."
"Yes, you should definitely give it a try."
......
The next morning, right after breakfast, Jiang Dong brought the people he had found overnight.
"Master Zhan, this is a well-known gangster in the underworld. I've heard he's incredibly well-informed, and many people go to him to buy information."
Jiang Dong communicated with the man in the local language. He spoke quickly, but Qiao Wanwan didn't understand the local language, so she didn't understand a single word.
"Let me translate for you." Zhan Yin sat down next to Qiao Wanwan and listened while translating in a low voice. "He said that the people in the Golden Triangle basically all have their own mountain strongholds, and the area they occupy is not small. Because it is a no-man's-land, it is difficult for the police to enter, let alone control it. Some of them rely on their own farming and production, and the other part relies on robbery, so each stronghold basically has sufficient manpower and weapons."
Qiao Wanwan whispered, "This place is already in a terrible state, and even the police can't control it. I guess the only thing that matters is how many people and how much weaponry we have."
"Yes, whoever has the most manpower and the most weapons is naturally the boss."
Zhan Yin continued translating, "He said he didn't know if there were any Chinese people here. Ordinary people never see the boss of the mountain stronghold, and he had never heard of any Chinese people here."
Zhan Jingting spoke a few words.
"My uncle asked him if anything unusual had happened recently. If not, he could go back further back and ask him to think about it carefully."
The man thought about it carefully for a while, then, as if he remembered something, he began to talk about it incessantly.
"He said that about a year ago, a mountain stronghold suddenly changed hands. He heard that the leader was killed and another person became the leader. He was very generous and brought a lot of thugs with him. Some of the people under him compromised for money, and those who were not convinced were beaten into submission by him."
"I heard that he often robs goods everywhere, but because he has a lot of firepower, no one can do anything about him. His power has expanded quickly. Now he has the most goods and the most money, but no one knows where he is from or what he looks like. I heard that this person is very mysterious."
After Zhan Yin finished translating, he asked, "Wanwan, do you think it could be him?"
