CHAPTER 195: CHAPTER 95: CUNNING FELLOW (SEEKING SUBSCRIPTION AND MONTHLY VOTES)

The purpose of this operation is not to catch "Uncle" yet, but to first probe the real and potential situation of him and his entire gang.

Of course, this is mainly because they still know nothing about the situation of the big boss behind the scenes. If capturing "Uncle" makes a commotion and alerts him, it’s very likely he will flee in advance.

And generally, once the leader of this kind of gang escapes, it’s hard to catch them again.

So Zhao Donglai and his team’s opinion is not to act rashly without understanding the contact between the opposing side and "Uncle".

But even without arresting, they will definitely have to set up some surveillance around the meeting place.

Because sometimes, just doing this can yield a lot of useful clues.

For example, which direction the suspect came from, what vehicle they took, who they were with, and which direction they left in...

Then by tracing his actions, they can find out some information.

This is also why Zheng Changjun wanted everyone to arrive in XZ before Luo Fei, with the aim of having more time to make deployment arrangements.

But if, as Wang Pingchuan suggested, the opposing side suddenly changes the meeting place, they could be caught off guard, and all deployments might be in vain!

Realizing the severity of the problem, Luo Fei and the others exchanged glances and immediately called Zhao Donglai to report.

In a police car heading towards XZ, Zhao Donglai, Zheng Changjun, and Wucheng sat in the back seat.

Seeing Zhao Donglai’s face turn sour after taking a call from Luo Fei,

Could something have gone wrong? Zheng Changjun speculated and immediately asked worriedly, "What’s the matter, Captain Zhao? What did Luo Fei just say?"

"Director Zheng, Luo Fei said ’Uncle’ just video called them again, probably feeling uneasy, and he probed Luo Fei a bit."

"How did Luo Fei and the others handle it, did they avoid arousing suspicion?"

"Don’t worry, Luo Fei and the others have glossed over it. According to Wang Pingchuan’s speculation, the other party should not suspect for now."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Changjun was overjoyed, "That’s good news, then why do you look like that?"

"Luo Fei managed to handle things for now, but he just informed me of some bad news... He said ’Uncle’ often changes meeting places when meeting with Wang Pingchuan."

"What, why didn’t you know about this before?"

Zheng Changjun was taken aback, his expression displeased.

Zhao Donglai admitted fault with a stiff face, "I’m sorry, Director Zheng, this was my oversight. Mainly, I was focusing on the entire gang, and at that time Wang Pingchuan didn’t mention this, so I didn’t notice..."

"Didn’t notice? Captain Zhao, as the captain of the police team, how could you overlook such a basic situation? Do you realize that your oversight might cause our whole plan to fail!"

Zhao Donglai, reprimanded, couldn’t even lift his head and kept admitting his mistake.

In fact, he felt quite wronged. After all, as an experienced detective, how could he make such a basic mistake.

He had been repeatedly confirming the details of meetings between Wang Pingchuan and ’Uncle’.

But that guy never mentioned this situation to him.

Clearly, he had been played by Wang Pingchuan, likely because Wang was worried that once he explained everything, his usefulness would diminish and his chance for reduced sentence would disappear...

Understanding this, Zhao Donglai wished he could give him a piece of his mind.

After criticizing him for a few more sentences, Zheng Changjun finally got back to business and began to redeploy new plans according to this situation...

While the other side was in a frenzy, Luo Fei’s side was rather peaceful.

After the four of them finished discussing ’Uncle’, they couldn’t find anything to talk about and remained silent.

During this time, Luo Fei received a call from Wu Yan, asking if he would be coming home tonight.

In fact, he didn’t want Wu Yan to know he was going on a dangerous mission, so he didn’t tell her he was on a business trip, only saying he wouldn’t be home for dinner so they shouldn’t wait for him.

But after not seeing him return for a long time, Wu Yan called again to ask.

Luo Fei had to make up a casual excuse, saying he’d be working late at the police station, and got by with that.

After hearing him finish the call, Zhang Fan was surprised, "So you didn’t tell your family you’re on a business trip tonight?"

"No, my mother is timid, I don’t want her to worry."

"That makes sense, so she doesn’t fret at home... But isn’t it almost ten o’clock now, Luo Fei, you two should hurry and sleep."

Yang Su said, checking the time, then began to urge Luo Fei and Wang Pingchuan to rest.

Wang Pingchuan immediately lay down, ready to meet the sandman.

Luo Fei said, "Alright, Team Leader, I’ll sleep first then. Please wake me for the later shift."

"No need, Luo Fei, Captain Zhao just ordered that Zhang Fan and I keep watch. You have a tough battle tomorrow, so focus on resting well tonight."

"Alright then, but you don’t need two people to keep watch, take turns to rest as well."

Knowing their temperament, Luo Fei didn’t argue, just said this and climbed up to Wang Pingchuan’s upper bunk to lay down.

Yang Su told Zhang Fan, "You go to sleep first, I’ll keep watch for the first half of the night."

"Alright, wake me when it’s time..."
