Chapter 1969: Tactics With Socialist Characteristics
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The two of them returned to the car. Feng Weihao’s expression was abnormally ugly.
It was no wonder why he was like this. The mission was about to be completed, but an accident happened midway. He could not accept such a thing.
This caused all his previous efforts to be in vain.
“How’s the situation over there?”
On the other end of the phone, Fang Shihong’s tone was relaxed. He did not think that his plan would go wrong.
“It failed.” Feng Weihao said.
“Just as we were about to succeed, the Central Guards Brigade took the corpse away.”
“Took it away?” Fang Shihong’s tone instantly rose. “Could you guys have been exposed?”
“No, everything was going smoothly. But just now, they took it away and spoke to us politely. They even treated us as staff of the hospital. However, the reason why they did this is unclear.”
On the other end of the phone, Fang Shihong was silent for a moment. “You guys come back first. We’ll arrange for further actions later.”
“Yes!”
“What did the young master say?”
After Feng Weihao hung up, Zheng Yaoming asked.
“Young Master asked us to go back first and temporarily give up on the mission here.”
“I’ll call Wenli and the others.” Zheng Yaoming took out his phone and dialed Shen Wenli’s number.
“Change of mission. Withdraw.”
“I have a problem here. You guys go first.”
“What happened to you?” Zheng Yaoming asked in surprise.
“We ran into traffic police on the way. They’re checking the trucks. We and the other trucks have been taken away.”
“What the hell? Why are they checking the truck?”
“It’s not just the trucks. There are also a few family cars that are being inspected.” Shen Wenli said.
“They said this month is Zhonghai’s anti-contraband awareness month, so they set up a checkpoint at the intersection for inspections. We’ve been caught up in this publicity stunt.”
“Damn it!”
Zheng Yaoming cursed, “It’s probably not a big deal. They should let you go soon. I’ll contact you then.”
“Alright.”
Neither of them realized that this was all part of Lin Yi’s plan.
That afternoon, a flight from Zhonghai to Shianggang slowly landed.
Feng Weihao and Zheng Yaoming brought the four of them back to Shianggang in batches.
At this moment, two cars had already stopped at the airport entrance.
After leaving the terminal, the six of them got into their cars.
About an hour later, two cars stopped at a place called Luyu Teahouse.
The teahouse was three stories high, but not very large in area.
Named after the famous Chinese tea sage Luyu, the teahouse’s name alone indicated its high quality and scale.
Otherwise, tea-loving people from Shianggang would have criticized it to no end.
The two cars stopped at the entrance, and six people got out. However, only Feng Weihao and Zheng Yaoming entered the teahouse, while the other four remained at the door.
Inside, the teahouse was eerily quiet, with even the servers replaced by black-clad guards, making the security extremely tight.
Only the fragrance permeating the teahouse somewhat softened the tense atmosphere, making it less intimidating.
The two men went straight to the third floor, where Fang Shihong sat on a wooden bench made of top-grade yellow pear wood, exuding an antique charm and significant value.
“Young Master.”
Seeing Fang Shihong, the two bowed deeply, a full 90 degrees, showing utmost respect.
Fang Shihong’s face was expressionless as he spoke calmly.
“Tell me specifically what happened and where the problem was.”
“They might have been prepared,” Feng Weihao said.
“Prepared? What do you mean?”
“I suspect they anticipated that we would target Lin Yi’s body. Fearing something might happen on the way, they picked him up halfway.”
“Was your information compromised?”
“Impossible,” Feng Weihao replied.
“We drove into the hospital at dawn and didn’t interact with anyone. Even when we took action, there were no mistakes. I can guarantee that.”
Fang Shihong didn’t speak and fell into deep thought.
Harris, Li Zicheng, and Xu Jiahao were all under Fang Dezhong, while Feng Weihao and Zheng Yaoming were personally trained by him.
He was very familiar with their methods and didn’t believe they would make such minor errors.
