Shocking! She Returned with a Miniature Bigshot-Chapter 429 - : Do You Dare?
Chapter 429: Do You Dare?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After listening to the situation on the island, Gu Ci found it a bit tricky. She said, “Tang Mingzhou used to be the leader of Black Hawk, with a long tenure and extensive training. He is incredibly patient. His disappearance this time might have been planned by him personally, not necessarily discovered by Black Hawk. If they have information about him, it’s likely that he voluntarily revealed it. His ability to evade tracking must be strong. Their manpower is limited, so finding him will be difficult. The best approach is to make them lower their guard. Right now, a blanket search will only make him hide deeper.”
Dr. North also found finding Tang Mingzhou challenging, like finding a needle in a haystack. However, relaxing their guard could lead to Black Hawk’ people on the island capturing Tang Mingzhou, which would be counterproductive.
Gu Ci continued, “Tang Mingzhou deliberately disappeared, waiting for Black Hawk’ people to come looking for him. He will definitely leave clues behind. As long as he hides in a secluded place and waits for Black Hawk to show up.”
Gu Ci couldn’t help but feel that this whole situation was very peculiar. She couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was strange about it, but there were many irregularities, whether it was Tang Mingzhou or Lu Zhiyuan’s arrangements. The one thing she was sure of was that Lu Zhiyuan was determined to catch Tang Mingzhou.
Doesn’t Tang Mingzhou know?
If he is Tang Mingzhou, fully aware that Lu Zhiyuan is looking for him, and remembering that Lu Zhiyuan even killed him years ago, would he willingly walk into a trap?
But why did he give a signal, allowing Black Hawk to take him away?
The whole situation was filled with mysteries.
A message came from the information room, “Dr. North, we’ve found a suspicious lead. You can send someone to follow up. The aircraft has been tracking it.”
After ending the call with Gu Ci, Qin Wan headed to the scene. A fire had occurred in a rented apartment complex one kilometer away from the casino. Six people were trapped, and the fire department had already arrived to extinguish the fire. The police were counting the people, and one person, due to passport issues, got into a conflict with the police and escaped during the chaos. The aircraft captured his image, and his appearance bore a striking resemblance to Tang Mingzhou.
Qin Wan rode her motorcycle to the scene and directly knocked him down as she approached, a rather straightforward approach. The man lay on the ground, unable to move, and Qin Wan gestured to two of her special agents, “Don’t move, raise your hands.”
The man cursed but complied, raising his hands. Qin Wan looked at his features, furrowing her brow slightly. Her agents approached and noticed that he was wearing a human skin mask and a wig, with a striking resemblance to Tang Mingzhou.
Dr. North immediately recognized Tang Mingzhou’s tactics, “Bring the man back!” freewebn(o)vel
This was a local young man who had an okay relationship with Tang Mingzhou. Tang Mingzhou had spent several years on the island, and the two were somewhat like colleagues. Their physical appearances were already somewhat similar. Six days ago, Tang Mingzhou had given him a sum of money to impersonate him and stay in the rented apartment complex. He also provided him with a fake passport. Six days for ten thousand dollars, which was several months’ salary for the man. He had foolishly agreed to it.
For the past six days, he had stayed in his room, not venturing outside. He had stocked up on supplies, had food and drinks, and could play games. The rental agreement for the shared apartment allowed for only four people, but the landlord had violated the rules and rented it to six people. They had managed to fool the authorities during the investigation, so they hadn’t discovered anything amiss.
The fire today was caused by aging electrical wiring, a rather accidental event. The police discovered the fake passport during their investigation, and the man, following Tang Mingzhou’s instructions, had fled as soon as he was discovered. It was sure to cause a commotion.
“Where’s Tang Mingzhou?” Qin Wan asked.
“I don’t know. He just had me impersonate him and stay in the shared apartment for ten days. I have no idea where he went. I stayed indoors for six days and didn’t go out once.”
“Did you have any phone contact with him?”
“None!”
This man was simply hired to do a job, a smoke screen for Tang Mingzhou. However, Qin Wan thought of a problem. If this man had impersonated Tang Mingzhou in the shared apartment for six days, wouldn’t that mean Tang Mingzhou could now move around using this man’s identity?
This man also worked as an unlicensed taxi driver and had his own old Ford car. Qin Wan checked and found that this Ford car had been operating normally in the past few days. Tang Mingzhou was using his real identity to move around on the island. No wonder there was no information to be found.
When Qin Wan and her team went to the man’s home, it was empty. News traveled quickly on the island, and Tang Mingzhou knew the man had been exposed, so he was fleeing especially fast.
With this lead, the search would be less like finding a needle in a haystack. At least there was one trail to follow.
Ji Chi and Rong Li were following a different lead. After entering the island, they found a message left by Tang Mingzhou at his former residence. It was a unique contact method and code used by Black Hawk. Only they knew about it.
Rong Li arrived at the man’s home a step behind Qin Wan and decided to follow her, using the assistance of the gangsters to investigate Tang Mingzhou. Ji Chi went to handle a different lead. They split up and acted separately.
After her unsuccessful pursuit, Qin Wan was feeling frustrated. She decided to have a late-night snack at a street vendor and enjoyed her meal thoroughly. Afterward, she bought two packs of cigarettes from a nearby convenience store. Suddenly, she squinted her eyes as she saw a shadow leaning against a pillar not far behind her. While conversing with the store owner, she discreetly adjusted the position of the store’s mirror and caught sight of Rong Li.
Fuck! How did he end up on the island?
And he’s been following her, trying to take care of her once and for all!
Qin Wan smirked maliciously. She mounted her motorcycle and sped away, weaving through the island’s roads. At night, there were few cars on the island, and no one cared about reckless driving. Rong Li cursed under his breath and followed her.
She was driving so fast that Rong Li thought she had uncovered some clues. However, Qin Wan was casually riding her motorcycle, circling the island twice, singing a song while doing so. After two laps, Rong Li was certain – she was just joyriding!
He had already figured out her whereabouts!
Rong Li decided not to follow her any longer. He parked his car by the sea, lit a cigarette, and began to smoke. Twenty minutes later, he heard the roaring sound of a motorcycle. Qin Wan’s motorcycle stopped in front of him with flair. She shook her head, her hair swaying, “Why did you stop following me?”
Rong Li gave her a disdainful look but remained silent.
“How did you get to the island?”
“I was already on the island before it was sealed off.”
“Nonsense, on the day of the island’s lockdown, you were still on a plane flying in from Europe.” Qin Wan retorted without restraint, “While Black Hawk and the gangsters are cooperating, this matter is beyond the scope of cooperation. Don’t come looking for trouble, or I won’t mind sending a corpse back to Black Hawk.”
Rong Li taunted her with a smirk, “Over these years, have you been trying to take me out in secret? How many times have you succeeded?”
“That’s just your dumb luck. It doesn’t mean you’ll always be that lucky.” Qin Wan pulled out her gun, chambered a round, and pointed it at him. “If I kill you, what can Black Hawk say? It’s just a chance encounter, and guns can accidentally discharge, right?”
Rong Li remained unfazed, blowing a smoke ring, “Qin Wan, do you dare to pull the trigger?”
