"Please come in, the door isn't closed." Qi Wei said calmly, mimicking Zero's voice almost perfectly.
Then, the lights in the room went out.
The driver downstairs glanced at it, stepped on the gas, and drove away.
After the car drove away, Qi Wei nodded to the people inside the house.
Jack had already passed out, and his weapons had been taken from him.
"Move them in." Qi Wei put on white gloves and quickly dealt with the things in the room.
Jack was very cautious; he had sent people to keep an eye on things for several days before he decided to come.
Only Zero dared to come over in the middle of the night because he was alone.
Moreover, in his eyes, Zero was just a lowly person whom he could manipulate at will.
"Let's go." Qi Wei glanced at the two people on the bed, a cold glint appearing in his eyes.
With underfloor heating, the two thawed quickly.
It's freezing cold outside now, so nobody's out and about. Even homeless people are hiding in trash cans.
The snow covered the footprints, quickly erasing all traces.
…
the next day.
Xiao Jin went to meet up with Lu Qiuying.
Lin Jun went to Rongkai Group to handle work and took the opportunity to apply for a leave of absence from school.
"Are you sure he'll come?" Lin Ziyan put on thick gloves and covered them up.
Lu Yunshen shook his head; passing the note was a spur-of-the-moment decision.
He put his arm around Lin Ziyan and strode towards an indoor shopping mall.
Because of the heavy snow, there were only snowplows and snow removal workers on the main road.
The shopping mall is very close to the villa; just walk through the alley and turn the corner.
The two breathed a sigh of relief as they entered the mall.
Lin Ziyan's hands and feet had been frozen stiff for a long time, but the cold was dispelled after she was enveloped in the warmth of the heater.
When the two arrived at the coffee shop, Qi Wei was already waiting there.
Lin Ziyan and Lu Yunshen exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise.
Qi Wei's hair had been dyed back to black and had been cut quite short.
He was completely different from the person Lu Yun Shen saw yesterday.
The people in the bar last night definitely wouldn't recognize him.
"Where's my uncle?" Lu Yun Shen frowned. Only Qi Wei was there, which was a bit unusual.
Qi Wei gestured for them to sit down, his gaze towards the two men was complex.
"He went to clean up the mess." Qi Wei's casual remark caused Lu Yunshen's expression to change.
"You guessed right, it was Jack who did it."
“However, not all of your team members are dead; several are still imprisoned on the island.” A cold glint flashed in Qi Wei’s eyes.
Last night, Jack took the medicine and threw it all up.
The people he mentioned were not using their real names; they were likely using aliases to make transactions with him.
However, he sent someone to investigate and found out which department it was from.
“Someone leaked your mission. You should be able to guess who it is without me saying so,” Qi Wei continued.
Lu Yunshen felt a chill spread from the bottom of his heart, as if his whole body was frozen.
Lin Ziyan simply drank her coffee and didn't ask anything.
Only the highest-ranking person, the one who assigned the mission, knows about their task.
He is actually Lu Yunshen's boss.
"Your uncle said he would bring them back. One of them, named Wang Erniu, escaped, and his fate is now unknown." Qi Wei finished speaking and got up to leave.
He can't stay here too long; there are too many police officers patrolling here now.
Lu Yunshen lowered his eyes, the darkness in his eyes gathering before being replaced by coldness.
Lin Ziyan looked out the window. The truth is always cruel, especially when betrayed by the person you trust most.
“Wang Erniu is suspicious.” She suddenly spoke, a hint of panic in her eyes.
Lu Yunshen said, "He's gone to the factory; he should behave himself for a while."
"I've had someone keeping an eye on him."
He took a sip of coffee and regained his composure.
He never completely believed Wang Erniu's story from the beginning.
If he had really contacted the team, Lu Yunshen would have received no information whatsoever.
Adding to his claim of a body double, Lu Yun Shen became even less convinced.
He even suspected that the current Wang Erniu was not the original one at all, even though he had learned all sorts of little habits very well.
This one should be his cousin.
Lu Yunshen agreed to let him come to Fushi because he wanted to see who he was in contact with.
Was it really just a coincidence that we ran into each other in Guangzhou last time?
This coincidence was too deliberate, especially since it happened right after he contacted Li Chengbing.
"Where is my uncle?" Lin Ziyan's unease intensified.
So far, they haven't received any news about their uncle.
Lu Yunshen: "You just need to know that he is safe now."
"It won't be so easy for the higher-ups here to touch him."
"Don't forget, he's the leader of the Chinese community here. He can disappear for a month, but if he goes more than a month, the higher-ups simply can't withstand the pressure."
Lin Ziyan frowned slightly and slowly stirred her coffee.
Now she's more worried about her family...
…
Meanwhile, in Haibi Village...
The chubby girl sat on the stone stool in front of the Lin family's house, picking vegetables with her grandmother.
Jiaojiao sat on a small stool to the side, her hand on the chubby girl's belly.
“It’s moving…” She felt it slide, immediately pulled her hand back, and stared wide-eyed.
Grandma smiled so much that the wrinkles around her eyes deepened, and she reached out to touch the top of her granddaughter's head.
"Sister Pearl, how did you manage to stuff the baby into your belly?" Jiaojiao blinked.
The chubby girl tapped her forehead with her finger, "You'll understand when Jiaojiao grows up."
Jiaojiao pouted, propped her little head up, stared at the chubby girl's belly, and blinked repeatedly when she saw the clothes on her belly moving.
Fatty said, "Aunt Huang invited us to her house for dinner tonight. Brother Jian brought back a lot of seafood, saying that an ocean-going ship docked today and the seafood market was packed with people."
