Ning Zhiheng waited for Lu Tianqiao to arrive at the hottest part of summer on Wumen Street. Soon after, Huo Yueze, who was in charge of staging a car accident on Yanshan Street, called.
"The target convoy has turned around and left!"
Seeing that everything was going smoothly, Ning Zhiheng asked again to confirm, "Was the other party's behavior normal?"
“They were very vigilant and conducted a thorough inspection, but our preparations were sufficient and we didn’t arouse any suspicion!” Huo Yueze replied. “Can we evacuate now?”
"No, continue blocking the road until our operation is over!" Ning Zhiheng ordered. He couldn't guarantee that Lu Tianqiao wouldn't turn back and try to take Yanshan Street again.
After hanging up the phone, Ning Zhiheng glanced at his watch. It was already 8 p.m. He estimated that Lu Tianqiao's convoy would soon be able to enter Wumen Street.
Their team members were already in position, waiting for the enemy to enter their ambush zone.
However, as time passed, the observation post did not find any trace of Lu Tianqiao's convoy and did not send a signal for a long time.
Just as Ning Zhiheng was getting a little anxious, Ji Hongyi called.
"The convoy has returned to the Lu residence!"
Ning Zhiheng was stunned for a long time upon hearing this news. What was going on?
He had spent so much time preparing, and all the personnel were in place, just waiting for Lu Tianqiao, this big fish, to take the bait. But at the last moment, he actually got away.
Did he discover the assassination plot?
That shouldn't be the case! Ning Zhiheng thought to himself that there were no loopholes in this plan, and he had only been conducting reconnaissance without taking any substantial action, so it was impossible for him to have alerted the other party.
Could it be that the car accident they staged on Yanshan Street was discovered? But if they were discovered, they should have immediately arrested the two team members disguised as drivers instead of leaving on their own.
"Continue monitoring and report any developments immediately!" Ning Zhiheng ordered, still unwilling to give up on this operation.
Today is the best opportunity. If we miss it, do we have to cause another car accident next time? Lu Tianqiao isn't stupid.
In preparation for this ambush, they had already taken control of all the residents in the four nearby houses. The action team was lying in ambush in these four houses. If they missed this opportunity, there was no guarantee that these residents wouldn't reveal their whereabouts. If the news reached Lu Tianqiao's ears and alerted him, it would be difficult to find such an opportunity again!
More importantly, he didn't know the real reason why Lu Tianqiao suddenly returned to the Lu Mansion. What if he was going to Guangyuan Metropolis again?
After much deliberation, Ning Zhiheng felt that this was a rare opportunity and he couldn't give up easily. He decided to wait and see how things went.
At this moment, in the Lu Mansion, Lu Tianqiao sat in the living room and looked at Luo Zidong, saying, "Zidong, it's getting late. You should go home and check on your wife and children. What's the point of you always staying here with me?"
Normally Luo Zidong would have been home by now, but he felt a little unsettled today, so he stayed with Lu Tianqiao. Now that he saw that Lu Tianqiao was at home, he felt relieved.
The Lu mansion is heavily guarded, with many gang members and bodyguards, so there shouldn't be any problems. He nodded and said with a smile, "Then I'll head back first. I've spoiled your fun today, Master. I'll play a few rounds with you next time."
"You should go back now. You don't need to accompany me next time. I'll feel uncomfortable if you accompany me!" Lu Tianqiao said with a smile. This disciple was much more self-disciplined than him and was naturally very capable in doing things. However, he was rigid and didn't indulge in smoking, gambling, or prostitution. It was quite boring to be around him.
Luo Zidong nodded and took his leave, his steps light as he exited the Lu Mansion.
As soon as he left, Lu Tianqiao watched Luo Zidong depart, then jumped up from his seat and immediately ordered his bodyguards, "Prepare the car, we're going to the Metropolis."
"Third Master, weren't we not going?" a bodyguard asked curiously.
Lu Tianqiao kicked them, cursing, "You're all pig-headed idiots! Your Third Master's hands are itching, hurry up and get to work!"
He knew that having Luo Zidong with him wouldn't make gambling enjoyable, so he simply coaxed him back. Anyway, Luo Zidong would gamble all night sometimes, and it was still early, so it wouldn't be too late to go to the Metropolitan Hotel now!
Soon, Lu Tianqiao's convoy drove out of the Lu Mansion again, this time heading directly towards Wumen Street.
