Chapter 1345: Awaiting Help and Searching for the Suspect
After hanging up the phone, Huo Cong came to Jiang Xue’s side and looked at her, asking, "Sister-in-law, what do we do next?"
"Do nothing, wait for the professionals to come." Jiang Xue finished, and thought of the person who planted the bomb, saying, "We need to find that assassin with all our might."
"Understood!" Huo Cong nodded and then said, "Sister-in-law, according to my analysis, the other party is likely near the parking lot."
Jiang Xue thought for a moment and then said, "What you said makes sense, we’ll search near the parking lot."
"Okay, I’ll go arrange for people now." Guo Dagang said as he took out his phone and called his men, telling them to come to the parking lot area.
Soon, Guo Dagang’s people arrived in numbers, and Jiang Xue had everyone split up and head to each exit of the parking lot to search.
In Jiang Xue’s view, since the target was her, the opponent would definitely not show up without seeing her. So, she planned to be the bait herself to lure the opponent out.
This proposal of Jiang Xue was opposed by both Huo Cong and Guo Dagang, as they didn’t want Jiang Xue to take such a risk. With their opposition, Jiang Xue did not insist; it wasn’t that she was afraid of dying, but she was worried that her sudden appearance might alter the opponent’s plan.
If the opponent changed the plan and detonated the bomb early, that would be bad.
Seeing Jiang Xue not insisting on being the bait, Huo Cong and Guo Dagang both felt at ease. The two led a group of men and quickly started searching around the parking lot.
As for the assassin, he had been hiding in the shadows, waiting for Jiang Xue. As soon as Jiang Xue got in the car, he would press the remote control, killing Jiang Xue and Huo Cong.
But time ticked away, and Jiang Xue still hadn’t entered the parking lot. Moreover, Huo Cong, who had been sitting in the car, suddenly got out and left.
Seeing Huo Cong leave, the assassin recalled him checking the car’s underside before, and realized something. He figured that Huo Cong must have seen the bomb under the car but couldn’t dismantle it, so he had to leave to save himself.
To prevent Huo Cong from reporting to his superiors and exposing himself, the assassin hesitated for a moment, then left.
So when Guo Dagang and Huo Cong led people searching around the parking lot, they found nothing. After searching for quite a while without finding anyone, Guo Dagang and his team had to give up and report to Jiang Xue.
When Jiang Xue heard there was no one found, she immediately speculated in her mind. She suspected the opponent had already left, so she no longer hid and came out, then walked over to her car and observed all around for a while.
After observing, Jiang Xue suddenly pointed to four directions and had Guo Dagang’s men search those areas.
Guo Dagang’s men took the order and started searching in the directions Jiang Xue pointed. In no time, someone from the exit direction shouted loudly, "Found it!"
"What did you find?" Guo Dagang asked loudly.
"Boss, we found a remote control!"
Upon hearing this, Guo Dagang and Jiang Xue exchanged a glance, then proceeded towards the direction of the exit. Upon arriving, they indeed saw the small black remote control being held by Guo Dagang’s subordinate.
On the remote control was a small button; with just a light press, the bomb installed under Jiang Xue’s car would explode.
Jiang Xue reached out and took the remote control, examined it carefully for a while, and then began to dismantle it. Only by dismantling this remote control, the bomb would no longer be triggered, reducing the danger somewhat.
