In a fast-moving car at night, Salimu suddenly jumped up in excitement, almost hitting his head against the roof of the car.

Boss! We have locked down the location!

Bai Muchuan opened his eyes and leaned forward. Where?

Salimu pointed at the red marker on the display screen of a device and drew a circle with his finger. Somewhere around this area

Bai Muchuan glanced at him. Area?

The area he said was about 10 miles in circumference.

Cant you narrow it down?

Salimu shook his head. The last signal we got from Captain Cheng was here.

Prior to that, they found the car that Cheng Zheng left in the wilderness. They searched around the area but got nothing. Salimu had also been tracking Cheng Zhengs location but that was the location before Cheng Zhengs disappearance.

Time is of the essence.

Bai Muchuan mulled over for a moment and called Quan Shaoteng via radio intercom. Laowu, Quan Laowu! Over.

Quan Shaoteng answered, Cant you at least give me a cool nickname? Over!

Ill send the coordinates to you, said Bai Muchuan, Bring your men there now and well meet there. Over!

Got it, over!

Keep in contact, over!

It was three oclock in the wee hours.

The fog on the road was thick.

The car was going faster than earlier. However, when they just got off the highway, there were a few cars blocking them, their headlights glaringly bright. They were a group of armed police that seemed like they were on a mission in the middle of the night

Ding Yifan furrowed his eyebrows. Captain Bai?

Bai Muchuan took a look. Stop the car.

Ding Yifan: Yes Sir!

Their car stopped and Bai Muchuan alighted the car.

A tall police officer could be seen walking towards him with an icy cold face.

Captain Bai, I need a few minutes from you.

From the lights of the cars, Bai Muchuan recognized the person walking towards him. Director Lu, what brings you here?

That man looked at Bai Muchuan with a serious expression. I have been instructed by Deputy Minister Cheng to assist you, Captain Bai.

Cheng Weiji?

Provide assistance in the middle of the night?

And the person that was sent to assist Bai Muchuan was none other than Deputy Minister Chengs beloved subordinate and right-hand man, Lu Jianming.

Looks like Cheng Weiji had come to know about Cheng Zhengs situation

Bai Muchuan seemed a little grim and adjusted his gloves to shake Lu Jianmings hand. Then I will have to trouble you on this matter.

Lu Jianming waved his hand. This is not the time for formalities. Tell me more about the current situation.

Mm. This way please

There was no way Bai Muchuan could reject that.

Firstly, Cheng Weiji was Cheng Zhengs father.

Secondly, Cheng Weiji was their Deputy Minister.

Bai Muchuan couldnt reject their involvement in this.

The two of them exchanged their views and three minutes later, they were back in their own vehicles.

Well leave now!

Roger!

Every minute counts. The cars sped through the road in the darkness of the night.Read more chapter on NovelFull

Bai Muchuan sat at the back of the car. He kept quiet as he looked at the dark silhouette of the trees outside the window.

Ding Yifan sat right next to him. After a long while, he finally spoke, Boss, what is the meaning of this?

Bai Muchuan glanced at him. Focus on your driving.

I dont understand, said Ding Yifan, we have enough men, we have our Operations Team and even a Red Thorn team is supporting us. Why did they send more men to assist us? What is the meaning of this?

This was probably what Salimu was thinking too. He kept nodding his head in agreement. Yes, yes, yes, it just felt so strange. This Lu Jianming somehow gave me a weird vibe. He doesnt seem to be someone whos easy to get along with.

Bai Muchuan laid against the car seat and replied slowly. That is obvious.

Very obvious? How is it obvious?

They have no confidence in me. Bai Muchuan showed a disdainful smile. There were some emotions hidden deep within him. Especially when this involves Cheng Zheng.

Uh

With that, they finally understood what was happening.

This incident concerned his sons life and death. Moreover, everyone in the team knew that Bai Muchuan and Cheng Zheng were not on good terms with each other

Mm, it would be more assuring for him if he used someone he trusts.

Ding Yifan and Salimu understood that and Bai Muchuan didnt explain further.

A while later, Salimus voice broke the silence.

Boss, Captain Quan has updates for you.

He passed the walkie talkie over.

Bai Muchuan furrowed his eyebrows as he spoke. Bai Muchuan here, talk!

Quan Shaotengs voice could be heard clearly from the phone. Ive arrived at the targeted area. From the initial observations its not looking good.

So fast?

Did you fly over there? Tell me, whats the situation like?

Unlike his usual joking manner, Quan Shaoteng sounded solemn and grave. We didnt fly there but we rushed there at top speed However, although it looks like I arrived here early, I was a little too late at the same time.

Late? Bai Muchuans eyebrows furrowed even more closely together. Laowu, you have been giving me bad news recently!

Umm

This guy is really something, replied Quan Shaoteng, it has been a long time since I encountered a sly fellow like him. Ill definitely skin him alive if I get my hands on him

Bai Muchuan said in a low tone, Give me the details.

Little Bai, I hope you wont get angry when you hear what Im about to tell you? Quan Shaoteng hesitated a little as he replied.

Talk now! Why is there so much nonsense coming from you? Did you get influenced by Salimu?

Salimu rolled his eyes and kept quiet.

Quan Shaoteng puffed a sigh. Im still searching for them. But based on the fresh tire marks on the road, it was going the opposite direction of where were heading I feel that even if we do find the place, therell be no one there by now.

That night, the fog was unusually thick. The road to the destination was wet and hence tire marks would be left behind when a car drove through the road. Bai Muchuan trusted Quan Shaotengs judgment. He also believed that Ye Lun would not be so foolish to stay there and wait for them

Hey, Little Bai!

Little Bai?
