Chapter 507: The Empty Fort Strategy
Guo Tao and Li Fu had not left the room at all; only Ah Da was coming in and out, seeming to be passing some messages between them.
After the last time he came in, Ah Da did not leave again and instead went straight to the sofa and sat down.
"How is it, have you received the message?"
"Basically, the situation is as you said, old master. They've already dispersed their undercover members to various corners of the city, and have begun investigating our operatives."
"Exactly as expected, I knew that Yang Da, that old fox, wouldn't let this go so easily. Moreover, regarding the U12 members, if anyone could understand these people, it would be Yang Da."
"In that case, wouldn't this be too much of a threat to our members?"
"No, I had taken precautions before coming here. Even if he investigates, as soon as he shows up here, our operatives will immediately investigate and then quietly leave this place once again."
"What? They can leave, can't they? But to my knowledge, among those forces he brought this time, there is one called Hei Hu, who is especially skilled at tracking."
"I'm aware. What Ye Chen caught this time was a member of that unit, wasn't it? Now Ye Chen has taken her back, and although I'm not sure what he plans to do, I can guess that he probably wants to keep this woman for his own purposes."
"That's impossible. These people have undergone years of professional training, and some have been taken in and trained in tracking and counter-tracking capabilities from a very young age."
"That will depend on Ye Chen's personal charisma. If he can truly subdue this woman, it would indeed be a situation we could exploit. Therefore, when she told me about it and insisted on taking her away, I did not hesitate to agree immediately."
Hearing this, Ah Da just nodded. He felt that the old master had everything planned out with certainty, without any second thoughts under these circumstances.
"Old master, if that's the case, do we just need to wait for their next move? When they make their move, we can surround them from the outside, is that the idea?"
"Correct, that's exactly what I intend to do. Plus, he would probably never dream that I am using counter-tracking and will leave them an empty house. Let's see what they can do then."
"Alright, old master. If that's the case, I believe Yang Da will be terribly disappointed when the time comes. Furthermore, he has been in the city without finding any clues since his arrival. I wonder where he could be hiding."
"Where else could he be hiding but in his secret underground base? That's the only place we still have no idea about."
"Therefore, I think we must find a way to detect the location of that underground hospital. It has always been a significant threat to us."
"Yes, I wish to do so too. But didn't you say that Ye Chen had tried to enter before but was discovered by their operatives?"
"If the Scorpion Gang members take action, I believe their operatives will flee that place. Then, it will essentially become a hollow setup."
"Are you suggesting you want to wait for this attack to happen, and then send someone to inspect the situation inside?"
"Yes, I think this would be a very good plan."
"Well, if you put it that way, it sounds like a good idea. Therefore, I don't trust anyone else with this task; the only choice is Ye Chen."
"Okay, I understand, old master. I'll make the arrangements for this."
"By the way, Li Fu, Ye Chen hasn't contacted you since he took that woman away, correct?"
"No, I'm waiting for his message too, but he hasn't initiated contact. However, he's very measured in his actions now, so his lack of contact also proves that everything there is safe and sound. Don't worry."
"Good. Then it looks like we can only wait for their next move."
"But old master, our members are a bit concerned. They have been searching all day today, but it seems that there aren't many targets in their search."
"No worries, I'll contact the U12 members later to come up with a plan. Let them release some signals. Only then can we successfully capture them; otherwise, with their ability, they might not find anything by tomorrow morning."
"If he locks onto a target, when do you think he will act?"
"Do you know how to catch a snake? To catch a snake, one usually aims for the seven-inch mark and must do it just right. Given Yang Da's character, he will likely act immediately tonight, and he certainly won't wait any longer."
"Another thing, that old guy has been cooped up in that dark underground. It must not be comfortable for him. He is also anxious to resolve everything, so he can reappear in the city in broad daylight."
"Then, is tonight the best time to take action?"
"Exactly."
"In that case, old master, should I notify Ye Chen to make preparations in advance?"
"No need. What we are testing now is Ye Chen's adaptability. We will contact him just before we set out to let him know what to do."
"Okay, I got it."
Having said that, Li Fu nodded.
He could see that the tests for Ye Chen have never decreased in intensity and that the frequency and difficulty of his tests were gradually deepening.
