Chapter 206: Unexpected Phone Call
In a district populated with residential houses, there were no restaurants or supermarkets, only one or two small convenience stores, and occasionally you could see delivery guys coming and going. The residents were quite varied, mostly migrant workers from all over the country. There was limited surveillance on the streets, making this an ideal hiding spot.
Based on the address they obtained, Gu Fan and his team had already arrived and were secretly monitoring a residential house, which they believed to be holding Du Jun captive.
Su Hui checked the map online. One side of the residential district bordering a river, two sides leading to the main road, and one side toward a small grove. If they were to rescue the hostage, their withdrawal should be on the main road side.
"Everyone, be aware that we currently do not know how many subordinates the other party has deployed here. With so many people coming and going, it would be hard for us to identify who their subordinates are, and as soon as we show up, they could easily recognize us." Su Hui spoke while she watched with binoculars from the car.
Gu Fan wore a hat, tilted low to shield his face, and had on a long wig and a beard. Pretending to be a passer-by, he made purchases from the shops while secretly observing.
"Listen, everyone, there are a few people fishing over there, frequently looking around. I bet they are our guys. And the guy smoking by the third streetlamp, he keeps wandering within a particular area." Gu Fan’s words caught everyone’s attention, and they all began to worry. This place seemed to be a real den of danger.
Now was not the time to act. The opponents’ heavy troops must be concentrated here, so everyone was waiting and watching over the exits that lead out of this residential district.
Lu Yi was a bit anxious, "If we don’t act soon, Du Jun could be moved. If they end up meeting Lin Xi at the rendezvous point, wouldn’t our efforts have been in vain?"
Indeed, Gu Fan had considered this point. Since they had roughly found the location where Du Jun was kidnapped, they needed to know whether Du Jun would be moved next.
Considering it was a hostage swap, the chances of Du Jun being taken away were high. They had to minimize this possibility, so Gu Fan came up with an idea: to have Lin Xi negotiate with their opponents.
Quickly, under Gu Fan’s guidance, Lin Xi made a request: she would be at the agreed-upon location at the set time, but there was no need to bring Du Jun there. As long as they let Lin Xi know via video call that Du Jun had been released, it would suffice.
