Chapter 4136: The Source of the Problem

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

The official vehicle was parked here, making both people tense due to its significant peculiarities.

Soon, two people got off the vehicle, both wearing camouflage uniforms, clearly well-trained and serious.

Just then, a black Mercedes sedan and a gray van also parked here.

A man in a suit got out of the car, looking well-groomed.

The people from the van also got out, six in total, dressed simply, looking more like laborers.

After the man in the suit got out, he walked toward the two in camouflage, with a smile on his face, extending his hand politely.

The two responded politely, exchanged a few words, and then began organizing manpower for work.

First, they unlocked the door, and the workers went inside.

About 20 minutes later, they carried out a large wooden box, about two meters long and one meter wide, struggling under its weight.

"It seems they’re here for delivery, the man in the suit is a supplier, and what’s inside is likely equipment for official departments," Ning Che said.

"Check the license plate, see which department the vehicle belongs to, and who will be using this equipment."

"Alright."

Ning Che sent the license plate number to Qiu Yuluo, leaving this matter for her to investigate.

While observing outside, Lin Yi was also monitoring the surveillance situation.

Ever since the car arrived, the man and woman in the surveillance hadn’t checked the time, their attention fixed on the outside.

"Damn! I forgot something important," Lin Yi said:

"Aren’t they from Wiscon Company? Have Qiu Yuluo investigate if this company has any relationship with Kaijie Group! Whether they’ve received investments from them."

"Got it."

With a reply, Ning Che sent another message to Qiu Yuluo.

"Even if we find out, it doesn’t prove anything," Ning Che said:

"Kaijie Group’s business layout spans the globe, and many companies are connected with them, but it’s merely business cooperation, not direct evidence."

"Just take it as reference; if there’s indeed a relationship, our evidence chain will be stronger."

"You’re right."

Their eyes were fixed outside, the unloading continued.

It was evident that the purchased items were bulk, and none were lightweight.

Buzz buzz buzz—

About ten minutes later, Ning Che’s phone rang, and his expression changed.

"These devices were collectively procured by the Central Guards Brigade!"

"From the Brigade!"

This news surprised Lin Yi, something he hadn’t considered earlier.

"There’s ion chromatography, flow injection, and fluorescence spectrometry equipment."

Lin Yi frowned, feeling a jumble of confusion, unable to make sense of it.

"Wiscon Company is a top-tier acoustics company, these devices shouldn’t be related, right?"

"For now, it seems unrelated, but I don’t know the specifics," Ning Che said while holding his phone, "I’ll contact Team Leader Chen to inquire about this matter."

"They’ve arrived to pick up the goods, next comes cross-checking. Ask Team Leader Chen about the procedure. If it’s for the Central Guards Brigade, it’s unavoidable to involve them and..."

After contemplating for a few seconds, Lin Yi continued:

"Before clarifying this matter, we absolutely cannot let this shipment enter the Central Guards Brigade."

"Should we send someone to intercept?"

"No interception, that would alert them. More inspection protocols and procedures might be needed; I have a feeling this shipment has issues."

"Understood."

About 40 minutes later, the items in the warehouse were all moved to the box truck, and both parties exchanged a few words before driving off.

All procedures seemed normal, with no issues detected.

"Stop watching outside, they’re preparing to leave, let’s go too."

The two quickly packed their things and left the cafe to get in the car.

With the evidence at hand, they could arrest them now, but Lin Yi held off for a bigger catch.

Soon, a man and woman emerged and drove toward the outer loop.

The tracking was done alternately until they drove back to Universal Studios.

"That shipment was delivered to an external warehouse. I’ll have Team Leader Chen check it," he said.

"Don’t rush, no actions for now; the focus is to keep an eye on those two."

"Their purpose should be to inspect that shipment, but it’s unclear what their actual intention is."

"No rush, we’ll soon find out."

After returning to the hotel, they reconnected the hotel’s surveillance signal.

About half an hour later, they saw the two carrying suitcases out of the room.

"Looks like things aren’t as we thought, their task was likely surveilling the equipment, and now they’ve completed the handover and are preparing to leave," Ning Che said:

"I think we should intercept them; we mustn’t let them go."

"Intercepting is necessary, but the method must be carefully planned."

Ning Che looked at Lin Yi in surprise, "Do you have another idea?"

"I want to trace them back, follow them," Lin Yi said:

"Contact someone from the airline, check their flight number, and get me a ticket."

"I’ll go with you."

"No need, there are many things for you to handle domestically; tracking them, I can do it alone."

"The issue is, if they leave the country, it’s hard to deal with them, without extradition treaties, operations would be very difficult."

"Why extradite them," Lin Yi said, squinting with a smile:

"If they know unknown secrets, I can interrogate them abroad; if not, there’s no reason to keep them."

"You’re saying these two are definitely suspicious, and their roles are more than just engineers."

"Exactly, just the fact they can use dantian strength indicates their role exceeds that of an engineer," Lin Yi said:

"Moreover, if they were clean, they wouldn’t be assigned this task. There’s a high chance they have issues but may not be combat-related, possibly similar to Groups 5 to 8, involved in research."

"What about the batch of equipment sent?"

"Leave it for now, claiming it’s under review, avoiding use," Lin Yi said:

"Let some team leaders go for detailed inspection, there’s little chance those devices are clean; it depends if they can detect it."
