"Tell me about it."
Upon hearing what Ah Hu said, a glint of light flashed in the eyes of both Yan Xiluo and Lan Jingyan.
"He has a very obvious and deep cross-shaped scar on his right hand, and he was also the leader of this operation."
Yan Xiluo was no longer calm. It was him! It was actually him! His name was A Hu!
Lan Jingyan also noticed Yan Xiluo's subtle emotional change and subconsciously patted her shoulder to comfort her.
"Besides these, is there anything else you know?"
Yan Xiluo felt that there was still too little useful information.
"That's all I know. I only started working with Ah Hu in the first half of this year. The others have been with me longer, so they probably know more than I do."
Ah Yao thought about it again for a while, but he really couldn't think of any information that could be useful to them.
"Alright, I'll keep my promise. My men will bring your wife out safely, and we'll arrange for you to meet up. We'll give you some money and arrange a place for you to live."
She had long known that they were forced to do these things, and as long as they cooperated, she was willing to let it go and rescue them from their predicament.
Of course, she wasn't some saint; she dealt with people who couldn't provide useful information in a certain way.
"Pang Jiayi, arrange for your men to escort Ah Hu to meet up with his wife."
Yan Xiluo indicated that she would leave the matter to her own people to handle, as she did not want to trouble Lan Jingyan.
"Okay, boss."
Pang Jiayi received the instructions and quickly went to make the arrangements.
"Thank you so much! I'm so grateful!"
Pang Jiayi untied the ropes binding A Yao, who immediately knelt down and kowtowed to express his gratitude to Yan Xiluo.
He originally just wanted to take a gamble, thinking that he was going to die anyway, so he might as well try this last chance.
He missed his wife and his newborn son, whom he had never met, terribly.
"Hey! Your phone, quickly reply to your wife's message, don't let her worry. Look at the child, he looks just like you."
Yan Xiluo looked at the baby in the photo on her phone and thought the baby was especially cute and cuddly. She even had a slight smile on her face when she spoke, though she probably didn't even realize it herself.
When they were arrested, she had Pang Jiayi hack their phones, intending to search for something useful. But strangely, the phones were clean, and everything seemed normal.
Thank you!
Ayao took the phone from Yan Xiluo, looked at the child in the photo, and excitedly wiped away the tears on his face.
Then Pang Jiayi gestured for A Yao to come with him, and A Yao left with him.
"What about you guys? If you don't have anything else to say, then let's proceed according to procedure. If you do have something to say, you've all seen Ah Yao's result. A piece of useful information in exchange for reuniting with family and living a peaceful life, I think it's a great deal, you're actually making a profit."
The information was too little; she felt it was far from enough to find the person. The cross-shaped scar was a clue she had known about all along.
Ah Hu, I only just learned that name.
Hearing Yan Xiluo's words and the promise she had just fulfilled to A Yao, they also began to get restless, all vying to speak, afraid that the information they knew would be revealed by others first.
"Let's do it one at a time, you go first."
Yan Xiluo looked at the person on the far left, and her subordinates quickly removed the cloth from his mouth.
“Ah Hu is one of the people the higher-ups trust the most. There are three other people at his level, named Ah Ji, Ah Mao, and Ah Gou respectively.”
"Pfft~ Are you kidding me or are you serious?"
Yan Xiluo, who was originally serious, was amused. Was this name chosen so casually? Was he sure he wasn't kidding her?
Lan Jingyan's eyes remained indifferent.
"Do I look like I'm joking? We're at a life-or-death situation, I'm not going to lie to you..."
Seeing that Yan Xiluo didn't believe him, he really got anxious. How could he dare to make such a joke?
"Ahem! Besides this, is there any other useful information?"
Yan Xiluo immediately adjusted her emotions and put away her smile. She had been a little careless just now and couldn't help but laugh.
"The person behind it all uses a voice changer when calling our boss, probably to prevent our subordinates from hearing his voice! By the way, several times I drove for them, with the partition and curtains drawn in the car, and that person behind it didn't say a word the whole time. He would only get out of the car after making sure I left in another car, which is what our boss instructed. But I could smell his unique cigar scent! Not just anyone can afford to smoke that! Our boss said that's his favorite cigar, I'll find it for you later, I found the box last time, it was on my coat."
Yan Xiluo thought to herself, this can be considered a small clue.
He signaled to his men to untie him and let him go find it.
"It's this brand."
He took the cigar box out of his coat and handed it to Yan Xiluo.
"Finding that person among so many people, and confirming that he is the mastermind, seems like finding a needle in a haystack..."
This brand of cigars is considered high-end, and many people can afford it, but if you're someone who smokes it every day, or even regularly, there are probably no more than ten thousand people... but in such a vast sea of people, it's hard to tell who's who...
Fortunately, it's still useful information. At least she'll pay more attention to this scent in the future.
"The more useful information we have, the faster we can find the mastermind. I also have this cigar at home; I'll let you smell it later."
Lan Jingyan took the cigar box from Yan Xiluo's hand. His father, Lan Junnian, had a hobby of collecting cigars, and the family had a collection of various high-end brands of cigars, including some that had fetched sky-high prices at auction.
"good."
Yan Xiluo nodded slightly.
“Since you have provided us with useful clues, we will keep our promise and follow him in a moment. He will arrange everything for you.”
Yan Xiluo signaled another subordinate to take him away from there.
Next, she tore the cloth out of another person's mouth.
"And you? Do you have any leads to provide me?"
Yan Xiluo stared at him, almost seeing right through him.
"Yes! I only know that our organization's headquarters is in the US, on a small island, but I went there by helicopter, and I was masked the whole time. My cell phone was confiscated after landing and replaced with a pager. The security there is extremely tight. I only know that the people who are assigned to hunt you down are different each time, and there are very few repeats. The headquarters is very large, with tens of thousands of people!"
That was all he knew. After all, the people above were extremely cautious in their actions, so they must have some powerful connections and be hiding their true strength so deeply.
"Besides these, what else do you know? Think carefully again!"
Yan Xiluo felt that this information was somewhat interesting.
