Chapter 625 - 623: Discovered
"Ah?"
Hu Fei was taken aback, instantly breaking into a cold sweat. Indeed, in this situation, if the enemy took advantage of the opportunity, the consequences would be severe.
Inside the house, after Zhang Yufei put her phone on silent, she finally felt much calmer. She sat on the edge of the bed, spacing out, when her gaze suddenly fell on the phone in her hand.
"Ah? The phone, so does that mean I can call Director Zhao?"
Zhang Yufei suddenly felt overjoyed. She always wanted to communicate with the outside world. Although she had Li Jun go out to deliver the message, if she could speak to Director Zhao personally, she would feel much more at ease.
She then picked up the phone, thought for a moment, and started dialing Director Zhao’s number. She wasn’t sure if the signal was blocked, perhaps only internal calls could get through.
So with a try-it-and-see attitude, she nervously dialed Director Zhao’s number.
However, the first time she called, no one picked up. Even so, Zhang Yufei concluded that the Earth Dragon hadn’t blocked the signal, so she felt a surge of joy and quickly dialed again.
This time, unexpectedly, the call actually connected.
Zhao Bing originally was in the car, fully focused on the upcoming raid inside Earth Dragon’s headquarters, but unexpectedly someone called him. He frowned slightly but pressed the answer button anyway.
But he didn’t speak immediately and instead waited for the other person to say something.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yufei heard nothing from the other end and thought something had happened, so she also waited for a while and then timidly asked, "Hello, is this Mr. Hong?"
Zhang Yufei did not directly address Director Zhao, and there was a reason for it.
If it was someone else, wouldn’t she be giving herself away? If it was someone she didn’t know, and she called him Mr. Hong, they might think it was a relative or friend of Zhao Bing’s.
"Xiaoling?" Zhang Yufei’s voice was so distinctive, soft yet firm, that Zhao Bing instantly recognized it.
"Ah? Is it really Director Zhao? Boo hoo."
Zhang Yufei also recognized Zhao Bing’s voice, instantly feeling an urge to cry. This could be said to be the most dangerous time since she joined the police force. If it weren’t for Chen Tianlong’s timely arrival, she might have been humiliated by now.
"..." Hearing Zhang Yufei’s crying over the phone left Zhao Bing speechless for a moment.
But at this time, he also recognized the vulnerability of a woman. Despite Zhang Yufei being a police officer, usually competitive, tough on the outside but soft inside, she was still a woman, capable of fear and tears.
"Xiaoling, stop crying. How are things over there? I just got a call from Li Jun, and we’re almost at the entrance of the Earth Dragon headquarters."
"Ah? You’ve arrived, hehe, that’s great. I thought we couldn’t hold out until you arrived. Director, you should come quickly; the warehouse hasn’t been moved yet. If you come, I’ll search for Chen Tianlong together with you." Zhang Yufei took a deep breath and said.
"Ok, don’t worry. Director Zhao will risk everything to get you all out." Zhao Bing resolutely said.
"Hmm, I trust Director Zhao." Zhang Yufei did not delay any longer and quickly hung up the phone. After all, a long call might be discovered.
However, because of this call, Xue Kong had already noticed something was off. Earlier, when Hu Fei was making a phone call, he realized that this was a great opportunity for the undercover agents hidden in Earth Dragon to make contact.
But then Xue Kong thought, if they took advantage of the open signal and had the technicians on high alert to eavesdrop any signals being sent out, wouldn’t they be able to catch the undercover agent quickly?
So, he hurriedly turned to Hu Fei and said, "Now make a call and have the technicians monitor all calls from here or those calling back from outside, without missing a single one."
"Ah? Master Xue, are you saying... someone took the opportunity to tip off the outside?" Hu Fei, not being a fool, immediately understood.
"Hm."
Xue Kong did not want to waste words, merely nodding while looking sharply at Hu Fei. Hu Fei immediately understood, hurriedly taking out his phone to call the technician.
Not long after, Hu Fei’s phone rang again, and from the technical department said that Liu Qi’s phone was dialed out, but it was a woman’s voice.
"A woman’s voice?"
Hearing Hu Fei repeat this, Xue Kong instantly thought of someone.
Inside Earth Dragon, there weren’t many women, aside from some aunties responsible for cleaning and some night companions, none of them had phones. The report earlier said it was Liu Qi’s phone, so it was likely Liu Qi’s phone had been lost.
"Yes, a woman’s voice."
Hu Fei, hearing this, seemed to understand as well and quickly said, "Could it be, that female officer? Damn it, then the person who went out at noon wasn’t Liu Qi, but someone else... No wonder something felt off; old third left wearing a work uniform."
Hu Fei slapped his thigh and immediately realized it.
Xue Kong frowned and hurriedly said, "Fools, a bunch of fools! Hurry up and bring that female officer here for questioning."
"Right, right, hurry up." Hu Fei called out to Peng Wanli and Wang Tao beside him.
"You too, if that female officer messes things up, hmm, you’re not getting away with it either." Xue Kong said with irritation.
"Alright, alright, I’m on it."
Hu Fei was shocked, looking at Xue Kong’s angry eyes. Despite feeling somewhat displeased, he couldn’t defy his superior. After turning around, he gritted his teeth and headed towards Zhang Yufei’s room.
After everyone left, Xue Kong took out a phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, Mr. Xue, what is the matter?"
"Arrange a helicopter for me, immediately, heading to the Earth Dragon headquarters. No matter where you get it from, it must arrive within an hour."
"This..."
"Beep beep beep..." The person on the other end was just about to say more when they heard the call had already been hung up.
This person was Chu Jiangnan of Capital City, Master Chu, who was at the command of the Black Alliance, so he had to obey Xue Kong’s orders. Xue Kong was a significant figure in the Black Alliance.
After hanging up the phone, Xue Kong, with his subordinates, followed Hu Fei and the others, rushing towards Zhang Yufei’s room. At this time, Zhang Yufei had thought about it, and since the call was made, and the Director would arrive in ten minutes, there was no point in staying in the room any longer.
She adjusted her clothes and directly walked out the door, intending to find Chen Tianlong. After all, Chen Tianlong still didn’t know that Zhao Bing had arrived, he must still be in the woodshed.
Just as Zhang Yufei walked out the door, she heard anxious footsteps from behind the house. She quickly hid behind another room and peeked out cautiously.
At that moment, Zhang Yufei was taken aback because she saw that it was Hu Fei with about a dozen underlings, and Hu Fei directly kicked open a door, shouting, "Damn woman, where are you? Get out here."
"..." Zhang Yufei was speechless for a moment. Why did he start cursing right away without a word, so rude.
