Chapter 370 Avant-Garde Thoughts
Du Xiuyuan and Lin Wanrong hurriedly looked forward, only to see an old man standing at the entrance, glancing left and right before he picked up the knocker and tapped lightly on the door.
"The contact has arrived." Xu Zhen and Du Xiuyuan's expressions changed simultaneously, looking back at Lin Wanrong for guidance, wondering if they should act at once.
"Wait and see," Lin Wanrong said calmly, shaking his head. "This matter is not so simple, Brother Du. If you were to meet with these Dongyin people, would you come rushing in so recklessly?"
"No, I would at least probe first." Du Xiuyuan suddenly realized. "General Lin, are you saying this is merely a test? Is it possible that the person who has come is not the one we're waiting for?"
"Big fish are not so easily hooked," Lin Wanrong chuckled. "Let's wait a little longer. Save the best for last."
As they spoke, the old man knocked at the door for a long time, but there was no movement inside the house. He looked at the door with confusion, then turned to leave. Xu Zhen and Du Xiuyuan instantly became anxious. Speaking of a test was just speculation. If this man were the real deal and they let him go, would it not be a wasted effort?
Lin Wanrong slowly shook his head and softly said, "Keep watching." Before his words fell, the old man had reached the corner when suddenly, someone darted out from the alley to stop him, whispered a few words, and threw a silver piece to him. The old man departed happily.
Lin Wanrong heaved a sigh of relief. "Damn, the cunning rabbit has three burrows. Luckily, I'm no simpleton either." Du Xiuyuan and Xu Zhen were astonished. General Lin's tactics were truly extraordinary. If they had rushed out earlier, the real target might have escaped. They looked at General Lin admiringly. In a battle of wits, they had never seen anyone who could outmatch him.
