Chapter 425: 425
"Huff…"
"Team Leader Han, do me a favor!"
Lu Wenrou took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. Getting angry wouldn't solve anything.
"Speak!"
Han Bing tilted her chin up.
"That kid who fought with the tank in the video must be a dwarf, I'm not sure which number he ranks on the tiger list. I need you to immediately pull up his detailed information from the martial artists' database of your Seventh Unit. Then, coordinate with the stations, high-speed trains, and airports for a manhunt. I want him trapped in Jinling City. We must find him even if it means digging three feet into the ground. As long as we find him, we should be able to follow this lead and find Living Yama!"
Lu Wenrou spoke rapidly.
"Team Leader Lu, let me remind you that you are half a rank lower than me, so you'd better not speak to me in a commanding tone in the future!"
After Han Bing said this coldly, she walked to the side, pulled out her phone, and instructed someone to retrieve the dwarf's information for the manhunt.
"Han... Team Leader, could you also… please post the dwarf's wanted poster on the streets, with a reward of one million!"
Han Bing had a stubborn and tough attitude. As a woman, Lu Wenrou also found her difficult to deal with.
"Hmm... okay!"
Han Bing nodded her head.
After speaking a few more words on the phone, she put it down: "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first!"
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Lu Wenrou could see that Han Bing had a strong sense of pride and a cold demeanor. She liked others to be obsequious in front of her. To make future cooperation more pleasant, it was up to her to lower her stance.
"You're welcome!"
Han Bing glanced at Lu Wenrou before pulling open the car door and getting inside.
Shortly after, Lu Wenrou also drove back to the courtyard house.
Upon entering, the Tank went straight to his room to rest. Lu Wenrou entered Scholar's room and said directly, "I've already issued a wanted notice for the dwarf through the Seventh Unit. He won't think of leaving Jinling City. Now it's your turn. As soon as he appears on the surveillance, bite down hard and don't let him slip away!"
"Understood, Team Leader Lu!"
Scholar, wearing a headset and bobbing his head, it wasn't clear if he was listening to music or doing something else, but he looked pretty relaxed.
On the laptop's screen, strings of data flickered, incomprehensible to the average person.
"Report back as soon as you have results!"
After giving another reminder, Lu Wenrou proceeded to the next-door room of the old conman.
Wearing reading glasses, even during the day, he had the curtains drawn and a spotlight on, as he carved onto a thin substance that seemed like skin tissue with a carving knife.
"I'm back!"
The old conman called out without lifting his head.
"Uncle Conman..."
Lu Wenrou's voice was a bit aggrieved.
The old conman was not only a senior member of Dragon Gate but also had a good relationship with her father, and in a way, he was an elder to Lu Wenrou.
"Hey, girl, you've only suffered a minor setback and you're about to cry?"
The old conman certainly knew what had happened that morning.
"Using kindness as bait is worse than evil; I'm just a bit ticked off!"
Lu Wenrou said, puffed up with anger.
"Alright, more haste, less speed. Take a good rest for a couple of days, and I'll go out and probe the situation."
The old conman put on the mask he had carved, and after massaging it a few times, it blended seamlessly with his skin. He transformed from a balding sleazy uncle into a middle-aged man with a scarred face that looked fierce and intimidating.
Putting on a wig and patting Lu Wenrou's arm, he walked out.
Meanwhile.
In a basement somewhere.
There was a group of strong men, along with a man wearing a bronze mask and a small-statured dwarf.
"Congratulations, boss, you totally rattled Dragon Gate's people in the first round!"
A strong man brown-nosed.
"It's just an annoyance, at most. Unless we can truly show them our strength, they won't dare to send anyone to Jinling again,"
the masked man's voice said in a deep tone.
"Big brother, since we know where these people live, why not go set a fire tonight!"
A burly man suggested.
"Idiot, they need evidence to catch us now. If you really dare to set this fire, they'll only need a list to arrest people!"
The masked man glanced at the burly man and said coldly.
"Er...."
The burly man, swept by the masked man's bloodthirsty and sinister gaze, immediately lowered his head.
"Boss, what should I do now? They've already issued a public warrant for me!"
The dwarf spoke up as well.
"You won't be able to get out of Jinling City, they've cast a net as tight as heaven's snare and earth's trap, ready to catch turtles in a jar!"
The masked man's fingers tapped lightly on the desk, as if pondering a strategy.
"Right, boss. This time, Dragon Gate's special action group seems to have one person who has never shown their face!"
Another burly man spoke up.
Their power had almost infiltrated every corner of Jinling. Dragon Gate's special action group was considered an external force, so they could learn about any disturbance at the earliest moment.
"I know, it's their leader. Quite clever, playing a game of hide and seek with me, hmm hmm....."
The masked man saw through Qin Yu's plan in a glance.
After two cold snorts, he turned to the dwarf beside him and said, "Get a good night's sleep tonight, show yourself tomorrow evening, and lure that one surnamed Lu to Haitian Resort. That place is full of our people. I want to play a 'surround and reinforce' tactic. The leader hiding in the dark will definitely show up. Once all their people have arrived, I'll release the pets I've raised over the years. If they have an 'accident' on the island, it can't be blamed on me, right!"
"Uh... Boss, that's a brilliant move!"
"He wants to catch us all in one go, and what we play is the reverse operation, to catch them all in one fell swoop!"
"By then, all these people will become our pets' dinner, just thinking about it excites me!"

A group of burly men patted the flattery on Living Yama, their boss.
"Alright, disperse. Let the people on the periphery handle this matter. You guys don't show your faces, even if something unexpected happens, they won't be able to trace it back to us!"
Living Yama stood up and walked through a small door at the back.
...
On Qin Yu's side.
He wasn't idle either, riding a shared bike all over Jinling City to familiarize himself with the capital's layout and, by chance, see if he could discover any clues related to Living Yama.
Though it felt a bit like finding a needle in a haystack, it was still better than having the enemy lead him by the nose, right?
Lingling...
Around evening, Qin Yu's phone rang.
"Hello, wife!"
Seeing that it was Yan Mingyu calling, Qin Yu stopped the bike by the roadside and answered the call.
"I'm getting off work. I sent you the location of our new home on WeChat. When will you come over?"
Yan Mingyu asked.
Perhaps for an ordinary person, settling down in a strange city might be difficult, but Yan Mingyu didn't even blink before buying two detached villas.
One for her grandfather and the bodyguards to live in, and one for herself and Qin Yu.
"I should be able to get off work today as well, I'll be home soon!"
Qin Yu glanced at his phone; it was almost seven o'clock. The leader of his special action group should be able to go home and rest, right?
After pocketing his phone, he rode the shared bike to the parking lot, got into the BMW, and drove towards the location of the villa Yan Mingyu had sent him.
Half an hour later.
Qin Yu arrived at the door of a three-story detached villa with gardens in the front and back.
Just after getting out of the car, he heard sounds of an argument coming from the villa next door.
The wife said the villa next door was for grandpa; why were there arguing voices?
Qin Yu closed the car door and approached the neighboring villa's door with some suspicion.
He saw a woman with a large black dog, who appeared very agitated.
The two bodyguards standing at the door wore expressions of helplessness.
