Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups-Chapter 532 - 308:
"Captain Zhuo, you’re in charge of intelligence gathering. Do you have any solid suggestions on the specific action plan?"
Zhuo Feng nodded slightly, calming the emotions stirred by Ma Biao, and his face returned to that confident expression of having everything under control.
"Minister Luo, Station Chief Feng."
"After a long period of meticulous investigation and tracking by our intelligence personnel, we have discovered that this Cheng Jiashu has a very strange, one could even say bizarre, lifestyle habit."
He didn’t immediately reveal the plan, instead deliberately keeping everyone in suspense to capture their attention.
"Every Saturday, Cheng Jiashu gives himself a day off, canceling all performance work and social activities, and stays alone in his mansion located in Jiangnan District."
As he spoke, Zhuo Feng gently tapped the projector, and the image on the screen changed accordingly.
An exterior view of a villa in a high-end residential area appeared.
In the image, Cheng Jiashu was wearing casual home clothes, sometimes reading in the living room, sometimes playing the piano in the study, and sometimes trimming the plants in the garden.
He seemed no different from an ordinary wealthy young man enjoying his leisure time.
The photos were slightly blurry, likely taken stealthily from a distance.
"On the surface, his day seems very regular and calm."
Zhuo Feng’s tone carried a hint of amusement:
"At first, we also thought he simply needed a completely relaxing and undisturbed personal space."
"Because of this, we even once suspected whether he was using this time to conduct unspeakable secret activities in the villa, such as handling the spoils of his hunts."
The meeting room resounded with a few gasps, clearly Zhuo Feng’s description had sparked everyone’s imagination.
"Thus, we managed to install hidden micro-surveillance cameras around the villa to try and capture any clues."
"We found that every Saturday at a fixed time, approximately around 2 PM, Cheng Jiashu would enter the master bedroom on the second floor of the villa.
"After that, the bedroom door would remain tightly shut, the curtains drawn completely, without turning on the lights, only to be reopened the next morning."
"We also used technical methods to temporarily cut the power lines and disguised as power company personnel to enter the villa once, learning from the servants about Cheng Jiashu’s habits during this time. They said he would sleep and rest in the room, never having dinner, nor requiring any service."
"When the intelligence personnel attempted to get close to the master bedroom to listen, it was eerily silent inside, as if there was no one in there at all."
"Even more eerie is..."
Zhuo Feng lowered his voice a few notches:
"We retrieved footage from the previously installed cameras and during that time, there was no record of Cheng Jiashu leaving the villa."
"That is to say, from all normal surveillance and observation, Cheng Jiashu should be honestly staying in his bedroom from Saturday afternoon until Sunday morning."
"But..."
Zhuo Feng changed his tone, a gleam flashed in his eyes: "Is that really the case?"
He switched the image again, this time displaying two different photos of people on the projection screen.
One photo showed a man wearing a hat and glasses, appearing in a toy store, carefully selecting gifts.
Another photo was of an orphanage with some age to it, surrounded by children happily engaging with visitors who came to see them.
One of those figures was the very man selecting gifts in the toy store.
Everyone’s eyes, including Fang Cheng’s "gaze," couldn’t help but linger on this unfamiliar man, puzzlement in their hearts.
"This was a lead discovered by one of our experienced tracking experts during an unexpected opportunity."
Zhuo Feng explained:
"He noticed that while Cheng Jiashu kept a low profile, he had an almost obsessive care for his vehicles, regularly taking them to a specific high-end car maintenance center for servicing."
"Through analyzing past surveillance footage around the maintenance center, we made a surprising discovery."
He pointed to the photo of the toy store on the screen.
"Every Saturday afternoon, a man claiming to be Cheng Jiashu’s assistant would come with the car keys and take the car away."
"Although his appearance was deliberately altered and concealed, an analysis of body features and habitual movements confirmed that this so-called ’assistant’ was indeed Cheng Jiashu himself."
"He used some special ability that we’ve not yet fully understood to leave the Jiangnan District villa without a trace."
"Then, in disguise, avoiding public attention, he came here to retrieve the car."
"Following this lead, we tracked him driving to the store to purchase some gifts and then heading to the beach at Qingshui Bay in Guilan District."
"He would spend half a day there alone, wandering aimlessly, seemingly just to enjoy the sea breeze and relax."
"After roaming the beach, he would take the specially bought gifts to a nearby orphanage called ’Chenxi Home’ to visit the children, as if playing a role of a kind-hearted person."
"As for where he went and what he did after leaving the orphanage in the evening, his whereabouts remain a mystery."
"We attempted further tracking to uncover his night-time activities, but unfortunately..."
Zhuo Feng’s tone grew heavier.
"The personnel carrying out the task lost contact with us after trying to follow him into an old district in Jiangbei, and their whereabouts remain unknown to this day."
