Chapter 189: Connection
Just as Lei Jingqian continued scanning the guests in the ballroom, one of his subordinates’ voices came through the earpiece.
"Captain, could it be that the intel was fake? Based on our investigation, the Bai Group has never had any contact with the Bu Gui Pavilion."
Just when he said that, another team member quickly countered, "That was only when Old Chairman Bai was in charge of the Bai family."
"After his death, the Bai family fell under Bai Yansheng’s control, and he recently placed a bounty on his second daughter’s head. The one who took the bounty was the Bu Gui Pavilion. From that perspective, the Bai family does have a connection with them."
"But a small assassination bounty wouldn’t be enough to make the Pavilion Master show up in public," the first man argued.
After listening to their conversation, Lei Jingqian said, "Looks like we won’t get any results tonight. Let’s return to headquarters and reinvestigate the guests attending the banquet."
"Yes, Captain," the others responded in unison.
As the Special Forces team discreetly exited the hotel, Lei Jingqian sent a message to Ruan Hanlin.
[Thanks for your help. We are leaving.]
After putting away his phone, Lei Jingqian slipped out of the hotel and regrouped with his subordinates before heading back to headquarters.
At the same time, Ruan Hanlin received the message. After reading it, he typed a reply and sent it back to Lei Jingqian.
[Got it. Elder Brother Jingqian, if you need my help, just let me know.]
