Chapter 751 - A Trap (1/2)
Night time.
Some distance away from an abandoned factory, a car came to a stop and parked at the empty roadside in between old buildings.
A handsome man turned off the engine before turning around to ask his teammates.
”Why would they hide something important in an abandoned place such as this? The police will only be more suspicious if they see people coming in and out of here.”
The person on the copilot seat beside him was a pretty female. She frowned as well. ”We did not pass by any cars. We don't have a choice but to walk forward. We need to scout how many of them are there.”
Two men on the back seat readied themselves.
”We will check it out.”
The pretty woman on the copilot seat threw them a small device. ”Contact us if there is anything.”
The two men nodded and put on the device under their collars. Then they left the car and blended into the night.
These four people were Xiong Zhi's undercover subordinates disguising as talents in IHZHI Entertainment in order to get in touch with LJ Club's drug dealers and pushers. Their target was to get evidence of LJ Club's illegal activities.
If William saw them, he would recognize them as Xiong Zhi's fresh new talents whom she usually brought with her to 'promote' them in the entertainment industry.
As the two men approached the building, they noticed how eerily quiet the abandoned building was. There was no light lit up in the building.
For a moment, they thought that they got to the wrong place. However, since the address was given to them by their boss herself, they decided to investigate more.
They went to the building.
There was no sight of any people or any activities here. As they moved forward and upstairs cautiously, their hearts started to doubt.
”Falcon, report on-site status. Did you find any worms?” The pretty woman's voice sounded faintly.
Falcon was their code for scouts.
One of the men answered in a low whisper. ”Nothing. There is no one here. We are already on the third floor. No sightings. Did we get the address right?”
”Is there any basement? Check that first--”
The sound seemed choppy before it was suddenly cut off.
”Hawks? Hey, hawks! Shit their line is gone.” One of the men said.
”Your line is gone. We can't hear from you.” The other man pressed on his collar and tried to contact the woman again. He repeated it many times but there's no answer. Not even a static could be heard from the apparatus.
”What could possibly happen?” The other man turned to his companion.
”The line is suddenly cut off. There's no way it's a coincidence,” the man said with a grave face. ”I think we should get out of here. This place is suspicious.”
”But let's check the basement first--”
Right at this time, a strong blinding light suddenly shone on them.
The two immediately retreated to a direction away from the light. However, since they were currently blindsighted, they did not see the several men surrounding all their escape routes.
The two felt a chill on their necks. Their faces were grave as they both took hold of their hidden weapons.
They did not feel the men's presence at all! These people were all experts!
One of the two men tapped a few times on the device under his collar.
It was the Morse code for the words 'trap' and 'leave now'.
He just hoped it works this time.
...
On the other side, the pretty woman kept typing on her ŀȧptop. She cursed when she saw that she still could not reconnect.
”This damn thing was working earlier. Why is it not working now?”
Her eyes were solemn.
The man in the driver seat looked ahead of the car. He seemed to see a shadow passing by.
”This is not a defect. This must be the other party's interruption. We should get out of here.”
The woman nodded. ”They must have a device that interrupts the signal. We don't have a choice. The other side seems prepared. We can only leave them now and request for back-up.”
The man turned on the car engine. When the car moved a bit, he noticed something was wrong.
”The tire is broken.”
Silence.
The two looked at each other. Their hands reached for the guns.
