"Boss, guess what we found!"
Chen Bingjiang was listlessly waiting in the car when suddenly an excited shout came from the walkie-talkie in front of him.
The voice was urgent and shrill, belonging to one of his staunch subordinates.
Zhao Xiaolong.
He immediately leaned forward.
"Cut the crap!"
"What did you find, hurry up and tell me!"
Chen Bingjiang now had no patience for playing guessing games with him.
Without waiting for a reply, he urged again:
"If this goes well, that woman is all yours!"
"Come on, out with it!"
At that moment, Zhao Xiaolong was also sitting in a car.
The sedan was parked right across from the villa construction site.
Dozens of people were bustling on the site.
Identical yellow hard hats.
From this side, nearly the entire side of the villa area was in view, without any obstruction except for a row of unknown small trees on the periphery.
Those inside were obviously trying to close off this gap, so they were preparing to build a wall on this side, thus enclosing the whole villa area.
Zhao Xiaolong's gaze quickly focused on a woman.
Tall figure.
Her slender, fair legs were almost dazzling under the sunlight.
It was just a pity that after the woman made a few rounds on the construction site, she went into one of the villas.
Not until the woman's figure had completely disappeared from view did Zhao Xiaolong lick his lips and pick up the walkie-talkie again.
"Heh heh, boss."
"Guess who I just saw?"
On the other end, Chen Bingjiang started cursing out loud.
"Are you fucking sick?"
"What time is it and you're still beating around the bush with me?"
"Hurry up, spit it out!"
Hearing that his boss was truly angry, Zhao Xiaolong immediately chuckled and said:
"Boss, it's that woman we saw the other day!"
"The one standing next to that kid!"
"You forgot?"
On the other end, Chen Bingjiang suddenly fell silent.
It wasn't until Zhao Xiaolong began to suspect the walkie-talkie was broken that he heard the other side's voice come through again.
"Xiaolong."
"Are you tired of living?"
"I sent you to scout, not to ogle women."
"If you really can't control those couple of ounces of flesh, I'll have someone help you cut it off when you get back."
"How about that?"
The sinister tone from Chen Bingjiang instantly made Zhao Xiaolong break out in a cold sweat.
He hurriedly explained:
"No, boss, you've got it all wrong!"
"I saw that woman going into one of the villas!"
Before Xu Wei and Liao Wenlei could even say thank you, he immediately instructed his subordinates to reconnect with the intercom in Chen Bingjiang's car.
"Boss Chen, I've got an idea."
"But when the time comes, I might need your people to cooperate a bit."
The reply from the other side was also very straightforward.
"Sure."
"We'll follow your lead."

Night fell quickly.
As the sunset gradually disappeared, the convoy parked at the intersection was completely obscured by shadows and finally vanished into the darkness.
It was eerily silent all around.
It was as if even the insects in the ground had disappeared.
The only sounds were the shuffling of zombies dragging their feet.
Suddenly, a pickup truck burst out from the intersection.
Boom!
A huge crash sounded!
The pickup truck that had barreled into the underside of the lorry was almost completely flattened!
The compressed, deformed cabin had turned the people inside into a mash of flesh!
At the moment the sound erupted, a light suddenly shone at the gate of the residential area, and under the shadow of the light, it seemed as though countless figures were lingering.
Zheng Youcai and Chen Bingjiang, who had been waiting on the opposite side of the construction site, looked at the five or six remaining workers with excited smiles breaking out on their faces simultaneously.
They had succeeded!
"Quickly!"
"Everyone move faster!"
"Xiaolong, you take the lead. If you see anyone, slash them!"
Time was of the essence, and neither of them delayed, quickly directing their people to surge forward.
They crossed the ten-odd-meter-wide road in an instant.
The people on the construction site spotted them but turned and ran.
They showed no intention of putting up a fight.
Probably because they saw the overwhelming numbers and were scared.
The group quickly passed through the gap in the construction site and entered the interior of the villa area, with the villa that Zhao Xiaolong pointed out not far away.
The opportunity was fleeting.
But they had successfully seized this moment.
"We're here!"
"Boss, it's this one right here!"
Zhao Xiaolong excitedly looked at the gate ahead and called back.
Chen Bingjiang's heart surged with joy as well.
The plan was going even more smoothly than imagined, as if fate itself was cooperating.
As long as they got through this gate and controlled that kid, the villa area would be theirs!
"What are you waiting for, open—"
He hadn't finished his words when suddenly a white light flared up in front of him.
Then, bright searchlights from all directions shone over them.
They were spotlights, like those used on construction sites.
One of the orange beams, however, came from the head of a truck.
Above, unbeknownst to when, someone was sitting.
"I was wondering who it could be."
"Isn't this Boss Zheng and Brother Chen? Have you both come together?"
