Chapter 870 Pushed to the Brink



Jiang Qiao smiled faintly, "If Chen Jianwu is Lone Wolf's double, he wouldn't easily reveal Lone Wolf's location. The reason he's been moving around so frequently is simply to distract you. He probably knows that he's already being watched."

Moreover, he never goes to the grassroots level without a team. With so many people, it's impossible for your people to observe closely. He can pass on messages through their people at any time.

It would be difficult to investigate this thoroughly, but passing on the message in this way would also be fraught with difficulties and inconvenience for him.

So, there must be another person, someone you've overlooked, someone you haven't considered, who's helping him relay messages to the real Lone Wolf. I bet you all have a pretty good idea who that is by now, right?

Cao Mingyuan sighed, "So, Jiang Qiao is suited to work in our field. See how reasonable your analysis is?"

Liu Zhanyu took a sip of wine and a bite of meat before slowly saying, "Girl, do you remember the gatekeeper you saw when you went there?"

Jiang Qiao did indeed remember this old man.

Liu Zhanyu chuckled, "Didn't expect that, did you? They were quite well-hidden. But the other party isn't a lone wolf; they're just relaying messages for them. Can you all guess how these two relay messages without arousing suspicion?"

This is a real test of brainpower. Apart from Song Shutian and a few others who know the truth, the rest are Gu Zhengkai's family, Song Zhi, and Chen Fang.

"Old Chen, tell me, can you guess right?"

"Smoke? Or bring food?"

Song Zhi patted Chen Fang on the back and said, "You're right, it's probably true."

Jiang Qiao and the others nodded with smiles. She just wouldn't say anything. Cigarettes were a good way to get rid of the problem, but she wouldn't use them often. If someone with a keen eye saw it over time, they would naturally figure it out. How many people working in that place are fools?

Song Shutian hadn't missed Jiang Qiao's expression. He smiled across from him and said, "Old Chen is half right. This guy has all sorts of tricks up his sleeve. At first, our people didn't notice anything different. But then they saw that he often went to the door to throw cigarette butts, and then after get off work, the old man would clean up the cigarette butts and go inside."

That's when we noticed something unusual about the old man.

Ning Hao pressed further, "Didn't you deal with that old man? Why did you let him pass on messages like that?"

Gu Zhengkai grinned from the side, "We streamlined our personnel, and that old man was transferred later. Chen Jianwu probably knows what happened, which is why he was so eager to contact Lone Wolf. Unfortunately, our people were watching him too closely, and he didn't have the chance at all."

"What about that old man? Does he know where Lone Wolf is?"

Liu Zhanyu shook his head. "Just like before, if anyone really knows, it's probably only Chen Jianwu."

Gu Zhengfeng was anxious. "Then what are you waiting for? Why don't you just arrest them?"

Jiang Qiao shook his head. "For now, he can't move. Don't forget, there are still people who escaped. The old man can't contact Lone Wolf, and the real Lone Wolf is probably anxious too. Chen Jianwu doesn't have a radio, so the only thing he can do is wait for someone to come and make contact with him."

At this point, he probably realized that his actions might be being monitored, so he couldn't reveal Lone Wolf's true location. The places he went to were probably not where Lone Wolf was.

If we put ourselves in Chen Jianwu's shoes, he would probably be considered a expendable pawn by now. You should understand what Lone Wolf needs to do.

However, I still doubt the identity of this true lone wolf. Is it really Tan Jiachang?

Nobody can say for sure. Those are just one side of the story. Only when they actually catch the person will they know who the other person really is.

"So you didn't take any precautions? That strategist, what's his name? We still haven't caught him?"

Ning Hao was anxious. This had exposed them, while Song Shutian and the others were still here taking their time. Wouldn't that cause them to miss the best opportunity? What if they were silenced by the other side? Wouldn't that mean they would lose everything?

Chen Fang smiled and explained, "Please be patient. Chen Jianwu is currently inspecting our work here. Lone Wolf won't act rashly unless he's used this person to the fullest extent."

Gu Zhengfeng nodded knowingly. "This was also orchestrated by you, wasn't it?"

Song Zhi patted his brother on the shoulder. "So, relax and eat. I have some good news to announce. Qiao'er is getting married, so we have another happy occasion. I need to report to the Municipal Bureau. Zhao Jian will be taking over as the new director—"

Jiang Qiao looked at Song Zhi in surprise, "At this time? What kind of move is this?"

Song Zhi smiled and said, "We've had this intention for a while now. We were just waiting for the old director to retire. It's only reasonable for Zhao Jian to come up. He's solved so many cases with me. It's time to promote him. Consider it a learning experience."

Jiang Qiao frowned, then looked up at Song Zhi and asked, "You didn't come prepared tonight, did you?"

Song Shutian raised an eyebrow. "It all depends on whether the other party takes the bait. With your help, there shouldn't be any major problems."

"Alright, eat your meal without worry. Qiao'er, go turn on the radio so you can listen to the news anytime."

Jiang Qiao got up, went back to her room, and turned on the transmitter. She guessed that Song Shutian had already arranged for people to be on board.

"Mom, have you finished eating? Come over and answer the phone for me. If there's any noise, go and call out to it."

Wen Jingwan nodded. "Go ahead, girl. Do you have any plans for tonight?"

Wen Jingwan isn't stupid; she's just too lazy to think about it. She has a capable husband, so she doesn't usually want to worry about him. But on her daughter's big day, if a perfectly good young couple doesn't consummate their marriage and instead causes some trouble, wouldn't that be incredibly unlucky?

Jiang Qiao understood her mother's worries. "Mom, it's okay. Some people just have to come and join in the fun. There's nothing we can do about it. The sooner we resolve this, the sooner we can have peace of mind. Consider it a wedding gift for us. Our future will be even brighter."

Wen Jingwan patted her daughter's hand. "Mom can't say anything else, it's just that these people picked the wrong day. It's really hateful. If you need anything, I can help."

Jiang Qiao chuckled and put her arm around Wen Jingwan's. "Mom, aren't you afraid of this?"

Wen Jingwan snorted, "Your mother came from the battlefield. Do you think I'm afraid of those people? What kind of big scene haven't I seen?"

Jiang Qiao hugged Wen Jingwan's arm and said, "Oh my, my mother is so amazing! I was wondering who I resembled, and it turns out I resemble you! You don't need to worry about this, with them here, it's not my turn to take action."

I'll only lend a hand at most, I'm too afraid to risk my life. You and I are heading over now—"

Wen Jingwan watched her daughter leave with a complicated expression, but she couldn't say she was in a good mood. "Tell me," she thought, "why are these bastards so persistent? If you're going to cause trouble, why don't you do it on another day? Why do you have to do it today?"
