Chapter 66 The Campus Genius Used as Cannon Fodder (Part 30) Meanwhile...
After the middle-aged man on the other side got up and left, another man carrying a schoolbag, who looked like a student, quickly passed by and walked into another alley.
Li Wenjing looked in the direction of the two people, made a solemn gesture towards the rooftop not far away, then wrapped her scarf around herself and strode around it via another path.
Fortunately, she had already sent people to scout out the area beforehand, and knew that although the two people seemed to be taking different routes, they would eventually end up on the same relatively secluded street.
Zhao He'an, who was usually taciturn and hardworking, became unusually serious. "Comrade Shen, you need to realize your importance. In the future, if you encounter something like this, never be curious. Prioritize your own safety and leave the scene immediately. Do you understand?"
Although he wasn't particularly curious, Shen Zechen obediently nodded. He put his arm around Zhui Feng's neck and asked softly, "Shall we leave now?"
Zhao He'an frowned, shook his head and said, "We can't determine the whereabouts of the criminals for the time being. These streets aren't very safe. Let's wait here for now. I've already inquired with the relevant departments about the specific situation. We'll proceed once we've determined a safe route."
At the corner of the alley, Li Wenjing swiftly and efficiently subdued the contact person, who looked like a student and was carrying a backpack. Just as she was about to find someone to impersonate him and approach Black Cat, she suddenly received a notification from her superiors.
A very important person was spotted near where they were on their mission. They demanded that the person's bodyguard be contacted immediately and that his safety be guaranteed at all costs!
Even the usually quiet Li Wenjing almost swore. What important person could possibly be, having nothing better to do than squeeze into such a remote and obscure place!
Looking at the photos that were sent, there was a baby-faced little kid who looked like a student. Could this be the child of some leader?
Li Wenjing felt her head buzzing. She had led a team to painstakingly hunt down this drug dealer called Black Cat for more than half a year, enduring wind and rain, getting up early and working late to find clues, and racking her brains to devise a plan to track him down.
Because of today's news, a colleague who was working undercover was sacrificed. Just when the operation was about to be completed, some important figure suddenly appeared. Why?!
Li Wenjing was so angry that her hands were trembling. She took a deep breath, dialed her boss's number, and gritted her teeth as she reported the current situation.
The boss on the phone sighed helplessly: "Comrade Li Wenjing, I know it's not easy for you, but this person's safety is really important. His identity is a top secret file, I can't tell you. I can only say that even if ten Black Cats escape, we absolutely cannot let him suffer the slightest mishap."
Li Wenjing slammed down the phone, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. Even if she wanted to protect someone, she needed to know where that person was. All she had to do was keep an eye on the black cat and prevent it from contacting anyone else!
Shortly after, she received a message from the bodyguards of that important figure, saying they were in a pavilion on the east side of xx street, next to a corner park, asking if she had a safe way to leave.
"Holy shit!" Li Wenjing finally couldn't help but curse. How could things have gotten so unlucky!
Wasn't that the rendezvous point Black Cat had prepared?! How did they end up hiding there?!
As Li Wenjing rushed over, she replied to messages, telling them to evacuate as soon as possible. She also described the black cat's appearance, that he carried at least two guns, and that he was skilled in close combat.
Upon receiving the news, Zhao He'an's expression immediately turned serious. Just as he was about to tell Shen Zechen, he saw a middle-aged man walking towards him from the street.
Just then, Zhui Feng, who was sitting there serving as a pillow for Shen Zechen, suddenly stood up.
Seeing that Zhao He'an seemed hesitant to speak, Lin You quickly leaned over to look at his phone.
“Shen Zechen, the guy carrying the box is a drug dealer named Black Cat. He has a gun and is here to meet his contact. I’ve already put a protective shield on you!” Lin You put the shield on him without even asking his permission.
Shen Zechen looked at the middle-aged man. The man did not attack them immediately, but his eyes were filled with probing, suspicion and inquiry.
Could it be that he sees himself as a so-called contact person?
His eyes flickered, and he waved his hand at Zhao He'an, giving the order in a relaxed tone:
"Old Zhao, I need to talk to this guy about something. Go over there and keep an eye on things for us. Be alert, and give us a signal if anything happens."
Zhao He'an gasped. What was this little rascal up to?
But the information he received said that Black Cat was agile and had accurate marksmanship. At this distance, even if he risked his life, he would have difficulty protecting Shen Zechen's safety.
Zhao He'an is skilled in environmental reconnaissance and information gathering, while Zhang Rui is skilled in combat and grappling. However, they were too negligent, knowing there was danger, they still sent Zhang Rui to check the situation.
Zhao He'an clenched his fists, watching the black cat warily. The black cat stopped about three meters away from them.
Shen Zechen patted Zhui Feng's head first, then said to Zhao He'an, "Alright, there's no need to be so nervous. Big Brother is here to do business with us. Regardless of whether the business goes through or not, we should be on good terms. There's no need for us to resort to violence."
Zhao He'an clenched his fists, and finally, when Shen Zechen gave him another wink, he turned around and stood guard at the street corner.
He knew that Shen Zechen understood that the two of them couldn't get away, which was why he took the risk of pretending to meet with this person. If they dragged it out any longer and the person became suspicious, it would only be more dangerous.
What Zhao He'an needed to do was to contact the person in charge here as soon as possible, find the contact person's information, and pass it on to Shen Zechen.
Li Wenjing happened to run over there at that moment and was immediately stopped by Zhao He'an. After they checked each other's identification, they explained their respective situations.
Zhao He'an took out his phone, and Shen Zechen's voice came through clearly, "Big brother is a trained fighter. My bodyguard has never seen anything like this before. Please excuse his ignorance."
The black cat looked at the boy in front of it. His face was young and his steps were unsteady. Let alone his skills, he probably hadn't had much training.
He glanced again at the dog that was squinting and lazily rubbing against the boy's palm, and only after confirming that he could easily kill both of them did he breathe a slight sigh of relief.
"Where's the code?" The black cat looked ordinary, the kind you'd easily lose in a crowd, but its voice was icy cold, clearly indicating it wasn't a good person.
Shen Zechen blinked and glanced casually at Zhao He'an. Zhao He'an pointed one finger to the sky, while his other hand gestured for the police dog to bark.
Shen Zechen touched his nose and turned his head away somewhat awkwardly, "Big brother, do we really have to use this secret code?!"
Lin You had already taken the opportunity to fly to Zhao He'an's place to inquire about the news, and soon rushed back: "The code is, Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger!"
When the black cat saw that the other party did not give the code, his expression immediately changed. He narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a fierce look, and reached into his pocket.
Shen Zechen seemed oblivious, frowning and opening and closing his mouth repeatedly before finally managing to say somewhat awkwardly, "Heavenly... Heavenly King, Earth-Covering Tiger?"
The black cat paused in its patting of its pocket, casually patted the hem of its clothes, and added, "The pagoda suppresses the river demon."
"Brother Ze, dust off your sleeves," Lin You reminded him, having been watching Zhao He'an's movements closely.
Shen Zechen blinked, patted his sleeve, and then looked at the black cat, as if asking him if there were any other procedures.
Black Cat subtly twitched the corner of his mouth. Although he had stipulated that the trading partner must be a newcomer, wasn't this one a bit too new?
He patted his suitcase and said, "I brought the goods, two kilograms. Where's the payment you brought?"
Even though this kid is wearing a long down jacket, there's no way he could fit 500,000 or 600,000 yuan in cash anywhere.
"Big brother, don't rush, wait for me!" Shen Zechen reached into his pocket and pulled out a precision electronic scale.
He reached into his sleeve and pulled out a thick, large pure gold bracelet. When he put it on the scale, it weighed over a hundred grams.
“Brother, these days everyone uses mobile payments. Cash is too easy to leave clues. This stuff is much more reliable.” Shen Zechen smiled at the black cat, revealing a set of big white teeth.
The black cat stared blankly at the gold bracelet, but it was indeed a practical item and more convenient to carry than cash.
Shen Zechen pulled out three gold bracelets from each of his two sleeves, weighing nearly 800 grams in total. He had bought these bracelets for Lin You to store in her spatial storage, just in case.
"Please inspect these goods. This should be enough for half of the payment, right?" Shen Zechen rubbed his wrist and stared longingly at the box in the black cat's hand.
Black Cat, who had been hiding for years, often hoarded some gold and knew its value. He reached out and tossed the bracelet in his hand, then squeezed it hard, put it in his mouth and bit it, before nodding to indicate that there was no problem.
Listening to the sounds on the other end of the phone, neither Li Wenjing nor Zhao He'an had expected this development.
If it weren't for the call from her superior and the fact that she had checked Zhao He'an's identity, Li Wenjing would have almost thought that this so-called important person was actually the real contact.
"This guy is quite rich..." Li Wenjing said dryly. What normal person would carry hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gold on their person? It's not like they're planning to run away.
Zhao He'an also didn't quite understand why Shen Zechen was carrying so much gold. Didn't he find it heavy?
The black cat accepted the gold, placed the box on the stone table beside it, opened it, and looked at Shen Zechen peeking around. It couldn't help but ask, "What, you can inspect goods?"
Shen Zechen hurriedly shook his head, "I've never even seen one before, how would I know how to inspect it? But my Ah Feng knows how, and he's very accurate!"
Black Cat saw him holding a package and waving it in front of the dog. The dog immediately barked twice, so he put the package aside and took another one.
The forty packages were inspected in just two minutes. Shen Zechen even gave the black cat a thumbs up and praised, "Brother, your goods are pretty good, all fine and high-quality items!"
After he finished speaking, he rummaged around his body and found a gold chain around his neck, about the thickness of his little finger, weighing almost half a pound. He then felt around again and pulled out a 500-gram gold bar from his waist.
Black Cat checked the gold again, and after confirming that everything was fine, Shen Zechen took out a calculator from his pocket.
He first checked today's gold price, calculated the price, and then weighed each item.
"Hey bro, this stuff is almost a hundred grams more than we agreed on. I still owe you over two thousand yuan." Shen Zechen took out his phone and opened the payment page.
"There aren't any banks around here, and it's not a large transfer, so I'll just scan the QR code for you. I specifically instructed them to make sure the amount is sufficient."
Seeing his businesslike demeanor, the black cat nodded in satisfaction, quite liking this kind of non-bargaining trading partner.
He took out his phone, found the QR code for receiving payments, and with a crisp notification sound, Black Cat immediately received a transfer of 2856.43.
The numbers include both whole and zero numbers, and are accurate to two decimal places.
Shen Zechen carefully packed his things back into the suitcase, held it in his hand, and then said with a grin, "I won't charge you for this suitcase; consider it a gift from you, brother."
Seeing the dog squatting next to the suitcase, sniffing around incessantly, the black cat couldn't help but ask, "Your dog is quite something!"
Shen Zechen raised an eyebrow at him smugly, "Of course, this is a police dog that I specially stole from the base. It's very good at inspecting goods. It can smell this kind of thing from a long distance."
Black Cat had gotten what he wanted and was in a good mood. Although he felt that the other party was a little mentally unstable, he just smiled and didn't say anything.
He's been selling goods for so long, and he's never seen anyone bring police dogs when they inspect goods!
Black Cat had no interest in small talk. He quickly left the scene with the gold and drove around several streets without finding anyone following him. He breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that what he had imagined was just his imagination.
After the black cat left, Zhao He'an and Zhang Rui immediately surrounded Shen Zechen and checked him over to make sure he was not injured before they stopped.
Li Wenjing took the box containing the drugs, then, thinking of the black cat that had already disappeared, she finally said with a cold face:
"Knowing your special status, you should stay home obediently and not wander around aimlessly. Do you know how much we have sacrificed for this person?!"
To protect this so-called special person, they weren't even allowed to follow the black cat. Li Wenjing gritted her teeth, wishing she could pounce on Shen Zechen and beat him up.
Seeing her fierce expression, Shen Zechen couldn't help but shrink back and give her a fawning smile: "Don't worry, officer, I can help you find where that person is."
