Chapter 596 - 594: The Director Arrives
"Oh? Did you find anything?" The young man asked deliberately since the boss had instructed that no one should know where the warehouse is; it’s a critical place.
"Find what? Is there something I should find? But I didn’t see anything. Maybe you can show me." Li Jun feigned ignorance, asking with some doubt.
"Cough cough... Nothing, let’s go back. We’ve been out for a while, the boss will start ranting soon." The young man sighed with relief, thankful he wasn’t seen, otherwise he’d be in trouble.
Li Jun chuckled secretly but didn’t show it to prevent suspicion from others. Soon, Li Jun returned to his place. This trip turned out to be uneventful.
"Damn, you really know how to slack off, took fifteen minutes to the bathroom, are you giving birth?" The supervisor was furious upon seeing Li Jun, having thought it would be done in three minutes and made him wait for over ten.
"Ah? Sorry, I had diarrhea, ran to the bathroom, can’t help it, just got up from the toilet, stomach acted up again, almost dehydrated now." Li Jun lied.
"Ugh! Get back to your post." Clearly disgusted, the supervisor vacated the workstation and went to supervise other employees.
Li Jun breathed a sigh of relief, this went smoothly, so now was left with the final challenge, how to get the correct route?
The path to the cave wasn’t very clear, when he came in, Miss Li had his eyes blindfolded, but he felt like he walked for about five minutes.
But it doesn’t rule out that he was tricked, intentionally led around in circles, isn’t that often the case in TV crime dramas?
There isn’t such a long road, a cave is challenging enough, walking that long, it’s surely a trick.
But he just went to the bathroom, getting up again to go elsewhere would surely raise suspicion, so he calmly went to work seriously.
The young man initially had some doubts about him, but upon seeing him sit down and work seriously, immediately dropped his guard.
In L Town, Yunfu Province.
Zhang Yufei had already made full preparations, at three in the afternoon she had to probe into the Earth Dragon Organization’s plant, suddenly she felt a bit nervous. After all, this was her first personal infiltration into enemy territory, which was very dangerous.
If her identity was exposed, there’d basically be no way out.
Firstly, Zhang Yufei wasn’t some unrivaled expert who could take on hundreds; she’s just a regular special police officer, though she can be quite influential at her police station, within Earth Dragon, she’s just a weakling whose warehouse guards vastly outmatch her.
Secondly, while she seemed to be there to inspect goods, secretly she had to map the terrain and find a chance to inform Li Jun of the experts’ arrival for him to be careful and not expose himself.
These two tasks were key to succeeding, a single misstep and they’d be wiped out.
Thus, Zhao Bing thought to come over personally to direct; should anything go wrong, he could immediately command the troops to rush in and rescue, they’d make it in time.
No matter how formidable Earth Dragon is, they dare not confront an army, although most soldiers aren’t cultivators, or rather, very few practice cultivation.
But the military has advanced weapons, aggravate the police, and they’ll directly blast your Earth Dragon hideout to rubble.
Still, Earth Dragon wouldn’t resort to such drastic actions unless they didn’t wish to further operate here, and the police wouldn’t just break in causing trouble without solid evidence.
"Phew! You can do it, you must." Zhang Yufei exhaled deeply, reassuring herself.
After all that, Zhang Yufei was about to set off when suddenly her phone rang; this was her number in South Sea City, not Yunfu.
At first, she thought it was someone from Earth Dragon calling for communication, but seeing it was from South Sea City, she realized it was likely Commissioner Zhao Bing, quickly answering the call.
"Hello, Commissioner, any instructions?"
Upon answering, Zhang Yufei rushed to the bathroom, it’s better to be cautious in case of eavesdroppers. This mission was a must-win situation, failure would lead to severe consequences.
"Xiaoling, I’m currently in L Town, Yunfu." Zhao Bing knew Zhang Yufei would be quite surprised, purposely pausing for effect.
"Ah?"
Zhang Yufei was startled, why even the Commissioner came, wasn’t there a terror incident in Capital City? Amidst all this, he came over, so she promptly asked, "Commissioner, why... why did you come?"
"Haha, knew you’d ask, I came over for a reason, the other side sent experts, you two are in danger, I can’t ignore it, I’ve been sleepless, worried." Zhao Bing spoke earnestly.
"Oh, alright." Zhang Yufei was truly moved, evidently, the Commissioner cared for her, now that he’s here, she could only cooperate by asking, "So, Commissioner, what should we do next?"
Zhao Bing remained silent for a moment before saying, "Xiaoling, you don’t need to do anything now, proceed as initially planned, I’ll coordinate with local police, once you receive intel, communicate timely with me, the key now is for you to enter Earth Dragon to inform Li Jun about the experts’ arrival, keeping him alert, secondly, secure their plant and goods storage locations."
"Yes, I know that." Zhang Yufei responded decisively.
"Good, be especially cautious, this is a critical stage, if problems arise, our mission will fail." Zhao Bing, while saying this, was more concerned not about the mission’s success but whether Zhang Yufei and Li Jun could come out safely.
Right now, only Zhang Yufei had the chance to notify Li Jun, otherwise Zhao Bing wouldn’t want her taking such risks, but the chance is singular, really unavoidable.
"Yes, understood, I’m clear on everything you said, I’ll be careful, and I’ll successfully inform Li Jun and then collaborate to complete the mission." Zhang Yufei stated firmly.
"Xiaoling, plans have changed, I don’t want you two in harm’s way, even if I lose my job, I hope you understand, I just want you safe." Zhao Bing clenched his jaw, saying, "If you truly can’t finish the task, find a moment to escape quietly, don’t worry about it anymore."
"Commissioner... this... we’ll try our best, I think it’s doable." Zhang Yufei felt the mission’s halfway done, not possibly abandoning it now.
"Alright then, as long as danger arises, find a way out, personal safety first, disregard the rest, at worst, we go back to farming together, no big deal." Zhao Bing, worried about their impulsiveness, remarked.
"Yes, don’t worry, I know what to do."
Though appearing to agree, Zhang Yufei’s nature wouldn’t allow the police station to fall into peril, even at her life’s cost.
