"Impossible, can it really be this ridiculous?"

"If we connect all these dots, it indeed seems strange. If we consider them separately, maybe nothing seems amiss. But, I feel that all this is too coincidental and too peculiar."

"If you're going to say that, it actually reminds me of something. No, I need to contact Hei Hu right away and warn him to stay cautious about this."

While talking, Yang Da quickly walked away, attempting to re-establish the communication channel he had with Hei Hu.

However, after waiting a long time on his end, there was no response from Hei Hu at all.

"Damn, I guess he's probably already left."

"Boss Yang, is there any other way to contact him?"

"Hei Hu is very secretive nowadays. We only have one fixed way to get in touch with him, which, under normal circumstances, allows me to reach him. But now, he might be out dealing with this matter, so he probably didn't take it with him."

"Does that mean there's no way to find him? Should we deploy someone to look for him? Thinking about his numerous subordinates, finding one person shouldn't be that hard, right?"

"Those underlings of his, they stay in touch with him. Currently, I have no way of reaching out to any of those people."

"If that's the case, it seems like we can only hope Hei Hu manages on his own."

"On the other hand, maybe we're just overthinking it? Maybe the situation isn't as complicated as we imagine."

"I hope that's the case. So for now, all we can do is wait here patiently."

After they finished speaking, everyone nodded and sat back down.

But this time, their minds were heavy with worries because the situation they were encountering now was something they had never anticipated before.

At this moment, Ye Chen and Anying had already left the suburbs and were now back in the city center.

Before taking any action, Ye Chen felt it was necessary to inform Li Fu, and he hadn't expected Hei Hu to ask to meet with them at this time.

Does that mean tonight is the best opportunity to deal with Hei Hu?

"Hello, Old Li, are you still at the hotel?"

"Yes, I'm at the hotel. How are things on your end? Have you contacted him? Does he suspect anything or outright reject everything?"

"He has agreed to a meeting."

"What? He wants to meet? Just like that, so soon? Right now?"

"I mean now, but he hasn't reached out yet. We are in a passive position; if he doesn't contact us, we have no way to reach him."

"Based on what he said before, do you think he's willing to meet?"

"Of course, I think there should be no problem. That's why I need to let you and the old master know in advance. If I do meet this person, I absolutely won't let him leave alive."

"Hold on."

Li Fu recognized the gravity of the situation; a matter like this couldn't be decided on his own.

Eventually, he turned to Guo Tao.

"What's wrong, is there a problem?"

Guo Tao anticipated that the call must've been from Ye Chen and that there must be some progress on Hei Hu's end. Otherwise, Ye Chen wouldn't be checking in at this time.

"Ye Chen just called. He said Hei Hu has agreed to meet them, but the exact time and method haven't been set yet. However, Ye Chen thinks he will contact them very shortly."

"What does he mean by that?"

"He means that if they do meet Hei Hu, it's a golden opportunity. If they miss this chance, they might never be able to catch this cunning man again, so..."

"So, he's considering making sure Hei Hu doesn't come back, right?"

"Exactly."

Hearing this, Guo Tao frowned with concern.

He knew this matter was significant and to order a one-way trip for someone meant this person's life could end right there and then.

In foreign countries, such matters are manageable, but a life-and-death situation here, he knew this wasn't his call to make.

"If killing him is on the table, I don't think now is the best time. We can't do that now."

"Then what else can we do?"

"Do this: let him bring Hei Hu over. However he wants to punish Hei Hu is not of my concern, but he must spare his life."

"Spare that dog's life and bring him here, right? But what's the point in bringing him here? A professional like him, I doubt we'll get any leads from him."

"Don't worry, I've never counted on getting information from him. I'm saying we should detain Hei Hu temporarily. Having one more person means one more bargaining chip. With both Hei Hu and Yang Wenyu here, this is a significant problem for Yang Da. In the end, I plan to return these two to them."

"Okay, I understand."

After this explanation, Anying seemed to grasp the situation, and he also knew the old master was very careful in his dealings. At this time, they must avoid any unplanned issues, or else they wouldn't be able to resolve the situation.

"I have just spoken with the old master, he said it's okay for you to keep him, but the key point is you must spare his life. If he dies now, won't it cause major turbulence? Likely, none of us would be able to escape the aftermath."

"But if I don't kill him, how do I avenge this hatred?"
