Si ng lay in Chen Nan’s arms like a languid Persian cat, her cheeks still flushed with the fading warmth of passion, her allure indescribable.
Hearing Chen Nan’s soft inquiry, she slightly lifted her head, a hint of helplessness appearing quietly on her radiant face: "This Lin Yu, he’s like a ghost hidden in the dark of night, mysterious and elusive, making it impossible to get started."
She gently extricated herself from Chen Nan’s embrace, sitting up gracefully.
Grabbing the thin blanket beside her, she covered her delicate body just right, revealing just the mutton-fat jade-like smooth shoulders, and that exquisitely carved collarbone, which under the dim light, emitted a seductive luster.
Si ng’s brows were slightly furrowed, her red lips parted slightly as she continued, "For more than a month now, I’ve exhausted all my tactics, using every one of my connections."
"Yet every ti I think I’m close to touching the truth, the clues snap like they’ve been cut by an invisible hand, as if there’s an impregnable shield surrounding him, air-tight."
Despite her beauty and intelligence allowing her to thrive in the entertainnt venues of the provincial capital.
Attracting countless admirers, they see her as an unattainable goddess.
Yet on the path of investigating Lin Yu, difficulties still abound with no substantial progress.
"By the way, I know of a man nad Wang Qi who is very close friends with Lin Yu."
Chen Nan’s eyes were filled with tenderness and sympathy as his slender fingers gently threaded through Si ng’s hair like black satin, his mouth curling into an indulgent smile: "Baby, you’ve done very well. Don’t rush."
"Sotis, the appearance of a clue is like the dawn’s early light, fleeting, but it heralds the approaching brightness."
"Maybe, this Wang Qi is the key breakthrough we need to tear off Lin Yu’s veil of mystery."
A firm hope shone in his eyes, he paused, then continued, "Tell
more about this Wang Qi, what else have you found out?"
"Even the smallest detail may turn out to be a crucial clue for us."
Si ng gently responded, a contemplative light flashing in her eyes: "I heard from a friend working at a club that whenever Wang Qi appears, he’s always flanked by a few tall, muscular bodyguards whose presence seems to freeze the air around him."
"Moreover, he spends money like water, very generously, but his actions are extraordinarily low-key and restrained, like a shadow deliberately hiding in the dark, not wanting to be noticed."
She paused slightly as if recalling sothing, then said: "Once, soone accidentally saw him and Lin Yu enter a private room and have a long, private conversation, but no one knows what was discussed."
Listening to Si ng’s description, Chen Nan nodded thoughtfully and fell into a brief silence.
After a mont, as if suddenly determined, he reached for the phone on the nightstand, his slender fingers swiftly gliding across the screen to dial a number he had never contacted before.
The owner of this number was nad Liu Mang.
Before this, Chen Nan had prudently selected thirteen ex-convicts who had been battle-hardened and were eager to prove themselves all over again.
He provided them with a prescription for strengthening their bodies and secretly conducted rigorous training over a period, discreetly integrating them into the intricate underground network of the provincial city, like hidden chess pieces.
Although they have not yet caused a stir in the city’s underworld or completely overturned the existing power structure,
during this month-long period of lying in wait, they have collected various pieces of intelligence like leopards lurking in the dark, and now, the ti has co for them to play their role.
The voice that ca through the phone was Liu Mang’s, respectful yet slightly tense: "Mr. Chen, what are your orders?" The tone was filled with reverence and compliance to Chen Nan, as if in his eyes, Chen Nan was an unequaled leader.
Without any hesitation, Chen Nan asked directly: "Do you know a man nad Wang Qi?"
Liu Mang hurriedly replied: "Yes, among the underground forces of the provincial city, there are seven infamous bosses, and Wang Qi is one of them."
"However, compared to the other six, he seems to be especially mysterious and low-profile."
A glimr of surprise flashed in Chen Nan’s eyes. He hadn’t held much hope that Liu Mang would know of Wang Qi’s identity, yet unexpectedly, he stumbled upon such a surprising piece of information.
Unable to wait, he pressed further: "Do you know where Wang Qi lives?" Urgency was evident in his voice that he could hardly conceal.
Without a mont’s hesitation, Liu Mang answered: "Mr. Chen, Wang Qi is currently residing in Jiulong Residence."
"Mr. Chen, should I take the brothers and deal with him directly..." As he spoke, a chilling cold tone crept into his voice, as if instantly transforming into a Shura returned from hell, filled with a nacing aura.
Chen Nan slightly furrowed his brow and decisively said: "There’s no need for such reckless action. Just send
Wang Qi’s detailed address, I want to et this mysterious figure myself." His eyes twinkled with a sharp, sword-like gleam, reflecting a determination and courage set on success.
He thought tracking down Lin Yu would be a long and arduous journey, but he didn’t expect to encounter such a significant turning point at this ostensibly casual mont.
Of course, this seemingly easy clue was the result of Chen Nan’s previous ticulous planning and intelligence.
Had he not sent Si ng and Liu Mang to infiltrate the provincial city ahead of ti, cleverly integrating into key circles and territories, how could he have obtained such valuable intelligence so smoothly?
All of this was like a carefully orchestrated chess ga, with every move played just right.
And now.
The critical mont to close the net had arrived, filling Chen Nan with exhilaration!
Not long after hanging up, Chen Nan’s cell phone lit up. He received a ssage from Liu Mang, clearly detailing Wang Qi’s address and his family relationships.
It also included the security details of the house, all very specific.
The corners of Chen Nan’s mouth curved into a aningful smile, and he put away his phone, turning to Si ng in his arms: "Sweetheart, my task tonight is to take good care of you; I’ll go et Wang Qi tomorrow!"
