After hearing Xin Yi's account, Han Yuhe and Tong Zhan felt that the situation was becoming increasingly perplexing. They first discovered that the origin of the Black K Party's drugs was the underground parking lot of the council building, specifically in Senate President Smith Tang's private garage. This indicated that the Black K Party had reached some sort of agreement with Smith Tang. Moreover, Smith Tang's identity was far more significant than just being the Senate President; he was also a leading candidate for the next president of Lusang Nation. What did this imply? It seemed to suggest that the Black K Party had established some form of agreement with the next ruling party of Lusang Nation. But what could their agreement entail?
Now, Xin Yi had also discovered that Smith Tang's underground garage was connected to a tunnel leading to the underground garage of the Y Country Moha Group's Lusang branch. This seemed to indicate a connection between the Black K Party and Moha Group. One was the next ruling party of Lusang, the world's foremost military power, while the other was a super conglomerate ranked among the top in the Fortune Global 500. Any movement from either side could send shockwaves through the international community, especially considering the already formidable Black K Party, which was recognized as the world's largest crime syndicate. What were their true intentions?
Although these signs pointed to a grand conspiracy involving all three parties, Xin Yi was primarily concerned about Lijie's whereabouts. No matter how powerful his opponents were, if Lijie were harmed, he would not hesitate to take extreme measures against one or even all three parties.
At Xin Yi's request, members of the Heavenly Pride Nation's secret intelligence organization stationed in Lusang gathered in New York, the capital of Lusang Nation. Intelligence personnel were distributed throughout New York, awaiting orders, while agents near the council building and Moha Building monitored suspicious individuals and vehicles around the clock. Upon identifying any suspicious targets, they would immediately notify agents in various locations to conduct segmented tracking—each group responsible for following targets within their own area. When a target moved into another area, it would be taken over by agents there. This method of tracking not only minimized detection by targets but also ensured that there were no overlaps or gaps in surveillance, making it highly efficient.
Xin Yi had not rested for two days; he had been keeping watch from an apartment across from Moha Building, taking turns with Tong Zhan using a telescope to observe both buildings. Noticing Xin Yi's exhausted face, Tong Zhan insisted he take a break. Reluctantly, Xin Yi lay down on a sofa in the room, but he couldn't sleep at all. Time passed slowly without any news about Lijie, making it impossible for him to rest. Despite his tired eyes, he could only stare at the ceiling blankly. In strict terms, Lijie was his first woman and the only one he had promised to marry; she was also the one who ended his twenty-six years of loneliness. During their time in Longchuan, he had grown accustomed to having Lijie by his side. If she were no longer there, he couldn't bear to imagine how his life would be—would he revert to being alone again? Thus, he hoped and prayed with all his might that nothing would happen to Lijie.
As Xin Yi lay on the sofa lost in thought, Tong Zhan's voice suddenly came through: "Xin Yi, something's happening!" Xin Yi sprang up from the sofa immediately. At that moment, Tong Zhan's walkie-talkie crackled with a voice: "Unit Two, Unit Two, this is Unit One! I have spotted a black-clad individual entering Y Building! Please monitor M Building closely! Over!"
It turned out that Tong Zhan had also spotted an agile figure in black entering the council building through his telescope. The intelligence personnel stationed near the council building reported this situation via walkie-talkie as well. It seemed there were indeed many people keeping an eye on the council building. Instinctively, Xin Yi judged that this black-clad individual might bring a turning point to the situation. He grabbed Tong Zhan's walkie-talkie and pressed the talk button: "Unit Two, Unit Two, this is Command Center! Please pay close attention to M Building! Over!"
After issuing his command, Xin Yi snatched the telescope from Tong Zhan and focused intently on Moha Building across from him... About an hour later, when Xin Yi saw a silver-gray business vehicle exiting Moha Building's gates, he immediately took up the walkie-talkie and instructed: "Unit Two, Unit Two! Please note this silver-gray business vehicle that's leaving! Notify units in subsequent areas based on its direction! Have them activate satellite tracking systems immediately! Over!"
After giving his orders, Xin Yi handed Tong Zhan the walkie-talkie and said: "I'm going after that vehicle; you handle things here. Contact me immediately if anything comes up!"
Tong Zhan nodded and pulled out a car key from his pocket, handing it to Xin Yi: "Don't worry; if anything happens on your end, contact me right away. I'll send someone to assist you."
Xin Yi took the car key and rushed downstairs as quickly as possible. Once inside the car, his first action was to activate the satellite tracking system. A small highlight on the tracker flickered as it moved northwest. Xin Yi started the engine and drove off in pursuit of the small highlight heading northwest.
The small highlight continued moving on the tracker; although it occasionally paused briefly due to team members switching off tracking duties, Xin Yi understood this was normal. He followed at a steady pace while maintaining about a thousand meters distance from it. The car drove for nearly two hours before finally leaving urban areas and heading onto Mountain Road; it appeared that their target had entered mountainous terrain.
Finally, Small Highlight came to a stop. Xin Yi estimated that the target had reached its destination. He continued driving for about a thousand meters and indeed saw a very ordinary black sedan parked on the road ahead. Xin Yi flashed his headlights three times, then turned them off as he drove past. A person got out of the car in front and walked up to Xin Yi's vehicle, saying, "The target has entered the villa at the mountaintop. What should we do now?"
Xin Yi slung his backpack over his shoulder and got out of the car, replying, "Thank you all. You can go back now. Just take this car back with you; I'll handle the rest."
The person didn't say anything further, turned around to exchange a few words with those in the front car, and walked straight towards Xin Yi's vehicle. The two cars turned around on the road and headed down the mountain.
Xin Yi took out his infrared goggles from his backpack and began to hike up towards the mountaintop. After about ten minutes, a magnificent villa appeared in Xin Yi's line of sight. He crouched down and hid in the grass, carefully observing the villa.
The villa was built on top of the mountain, surrounded by a large expanse of lawn with not a single tree in sight—there was no place to hide. If there were people inside monitoring, it would be impossible for intruders to escape detection. Although Xin Yi did not see any reflections from sniper scopes inside the villa, he believed there must be snipers hidden within. As soon as someone appeared within effective range, the sniper would easily take them out.
The layout around the villa was quite clever; the bare lawn was at least two hundred meters away from the villa. Even if Xin Yi approached at full speed, it would still take him over ten seconds to reach it. In those ten seconds, too many things could happen. Based on the speed of sniper fire and aiming time calculations, even if there was only one sniper inside, they could easily hit multiple shots within that timeframe. Moreover, Xin Yi was certain there would not be just one sniper inside.
Since he had already identified a suspicious location, he certainly couldn't leave empty-handed. In the end, Xin Yi decided to take a gamble. He stood up from the grass, drew two handguns from under his arms, took a deep breath, and sprang onto the lawn. Instead of using an S-shaped pattern commonly employed to dodge bullets, he dashed straight towards the villa. He was betting on the sniper's reaction time; if the sniper reacted quickly enough, running in an S-shape wouldn't help either. An experienced sniper could easily predict your trajectory based on your speed; thus it was possible that you would run into bullets rather than being hit by them. Additionally, running in an S-shape would waste a lot of time—what might take ten seconds in a straight line could take forty seconds or more when zigzagging—creating more opportunities for the sniper to shoot.
Therefore, Xin Yi opted for a direct approach to close in quickly; if luck was on his side, he might cover several dozen meters before the sniper had even aimed.
Of course, Xin Yi's rapid approach wasn't just a reckless sprint; he divided the two hundred meters into four segments: seventy meters for the first segment, fifty for the second, forty for the third, and forty for the fourth. This segmentation was meaningful; at Xin Yi's speed, he could cover seventy meters in just five seconds due to his explosive power. If the sniper hadn't already spotted him as a target by then, they wouldn't have enough time to aim during those five seconds. A true sniper determines their shooting position by estimating where a fast-moving target will be at their next moment in time. By the time they calculated that next position, Xin Yi would have completed his first dash and paused for two seconds to disrupt the sniper's estimation of his next location. Once they were ready to shoot at what they thought was a stationary target, he would begin his second dash.
In this manner, Xin Yi effectively broke down two hundred meters into four shorter distances of several dozen meters each, significantly reducing his chances of being hit. The varying lengths were also intended to prevent experienced snipers from predicting where he would stop.
However, it seemed that Xin Yi had miscalculated this time; as he sprinted across two hundred meters of lawn and reached in front of the villa, not a single gunshot rang out as expected.
Could it be that he was overthinking? Xin Yi didn't believe so; just because no shots were fired didn't mean there wasn't an ambush—perhaps they had other plans in mind. Indeed, Xin Yi's deduction proved correct; just as he arrived at the villa's entrance, lights suddenly illuminated everywhere—even lighting up the lawn like daylight. At that moment, the villa's main door swung open, and a person walked out clapping their hands while looking at Xin Yi, who held guns in both hands. They said with applause, "You are truly impressive! You are actually the first stranger to visit this villa. If you don't mind, why not come in for a drink?"
Facing someone who could speak so calmly while holding dual firearms inside their own villa showed remarkable courage; regardless of whether they were friend or foe, Xin Yi held considerable respect for such individuals. He spun one of his guns back into its holster under his arm and smiled slightly as he replied, "Sure! I wonder what kind of fine wine our host will serve?"
In mid-month this month, our company will conduct an annual audit of its quality management system; this part of work is handled by Azure, who is preparing relevant materials (as everyone knows, many materials are often hastily put together at the last minute). So lately I've been quite busy and can only update once daily; however, if I find some time, I will still try my best to manage two updates. I apologize to everyone for this inconvenience; after mid-month things will return to normal with two updates per day.
