CHAPTER 199: CHAPTER 97: HAWKEYE SHOWS POWER (REQUESTING SUBSCRIPTIONS AND MONTHLY TICKETS)

Because Luo Fei and the others had behaved without any issues from start to finish, the old man gradually let down his guard.

Faced with Wang Pingchuan’s pleading, he indeed relented, "You little rascal, alright, hang on, I’ll call and ask now."

As he spoke, the old man placed the phone in his hand on the table, and then pulled out another phone from his pocket right in front of them.

Luo Fei, caught off guard, quickly glanced at Wang Pingchuan, as if asking with his eyes what was going on.

The latter could only shrug helplessly, indicating he didn’t know either.

According to their previous plan, after the opponent let down his guard, Wang Pingchuan would find a way to ask him to call his boss.

This way, they could find out the boss’s phone number by checking the call time records of the old man’s calls.

But who would have thought that the opponent would have two phones.

Luo Fei realized their plan might be doomed to fail, but he still didn’t want to give up.

So almost instinctively, he quickly stood up, pretending to stretch his neck, and swiftly glanced at the opponent’s phone screen.

At the same time, his eagle-eyed vision and chimpanzee-like memory came into play!

He was also lucky because the old man happened to stop at the screen where he was browsing the contacts, then selected a number to dial.

As the screen changed, Luo Fei immediately looked away.

Because he was fast enough, the old man didn’t notice his peeking at all.

Unbeknownst to him, in just a few seconds, Luo Fei’s brain, which had incorporated chimpanzee-like memory, had already memorized that string of numbers.

He mentally repeated it to strengthen his memory, while pretending to play on his phone, quickly opened a chat window with Wang Yong, and sent the number over.

He also typed a line.

"Quickly check this phone number and the number it called at this time."

Thinking it over, he added, "Remember, for now, don’t alert Captain Zhao and them, quietly check it and tell me the results."

He left a mental note.

If he directly told Zhao Donglai and the others, the XZ police might soon all know too.

And once they know, Luo Fei couldn’t be sure if there were informants in the police force, considering how powerful the boss was, no one could say for sure.

So Luo Fei preferred to trust his subordinates more.

After finishing this, he immediately exited the chat window and opened a video app to start browsing.

The old man was still on the phone.

He wasn’t on speakerphone, so they couldn’t hear what was being said on the other side, but from his brief words, it wasn’t hard to see he was indeed getting business for Wang Pingchuan.

After a while, he hung up, "It’s done. The boss said there happens to be a family wanting to buy a boy recently, the younger the better."

"Once you get back, immediately keep an eye out for a target. After you succeed, the process will be the same, Yang Dawei will take over and deliver the child, and I’ll transfer the money to you then."

"Thank you so much, uncle!"

Wang Pingchuan gratefully shook his hand, continuously expressing gratitude.

"Chuan, you don’t need to thank me, just do your job well."

The old man said, then stood up, "It’s getting late, take your time to eat, I’m going off first."

"Leaving already, uncle? Stay a little longer?"

"No, can’t stay..."

After a token attempt to have him stay, the old man waved them off and walked out.

As soon as he left, Wang Pingchuan immediately looked like he wanted to say something, but was stopped by a glance from Luo Fei.

At that moment, he was quickly notifying the team in their rapid action group.

"Attention, the target is about to leave."

"Height around one seventy-five, weight between one hundred forty-five to one hundred fifty-five, slightly chubby, wearing all black, baseball cap, mask, sunglasses."

After giving a detailed description of the old man’s appearance, he signaled Wang Pingchuan, "Let’s go, we’ll talk outside!"

When the two of them went out, the old man was nowhere in sight.

Following the trace of his scent molecules in the air, Luo Fei knew he had already left.

He then checked the action group chat and, as expected, found two messages from Yang Su sent a minute ago.

"Received, target located."

"We’re following him now."

Luo Fei breathed a sigh of relief, and at that moment, a private car stopped in front of them.

Since the old man had left, they no longer needed to maintain their cover, so Zhang Jun directly rolled down the passenger side window and called out, "Hop in quickly."

Luo Fei opened the car door for Wang Pingchuan to get in, but he didn’t follow.

"Comrade Zhang Jun, I have some things to take care of, so could you please take him back to my colleagues first."

After speaking, without waiting for Zhang Jun to reply, he quickly ran off in one direction.

Zhang Jun called out to him a few times to no avail, so he reluctantly had his colleagues drive the car back to headquarters.

They brought Wang Pingchuan in and everything proceeded as usual.

"Where’s Luo Fei? Why didn’t he come back with you guys?"

"Comrade Luo Fei said he had something to handle, so he handed him over to us and ran off."

"What? Director Zheng, what’s going on with your officer?"

Before Zhang Jun finished his sentence, Zhou Zijie frowned in disbelief at Zheng Changjun, full of displeasure.

Already accustomed to Luo Fei’s way of handling cases, Zheng Changjun immediately realized that when Luo Fei was running around at this time, he must have uncovered something new.
