Chapter 281: You can hide for a while
Suddenly, the car ahead stopped. Su Ming immediately parked in a secluded spot, quickly got out, and hid in the shadows on the side of the road, observing the other party's movements. The tall man got out of the car and looked around, as if waiting for someone.
A few minutes later, another car slowly drove up and stopped next to the man's car. The door opened, and several figures got out of the car. They exchanged a few words with the tall man and then began to exchange something.
Su Ming narrowed his eyes, trying to discern what they were doing. However, he couldn't hear their conversation from the distance. Watching their furtive movements, he knew they were nearing the core of the operation. They were likely engaging in illegal transactions, and the power behind them was even more troubling.
"They must be exchanging some kind of information," Su Ming concluded. His intuition was always accurate, and this time was no exception. Despite the lack of solid evidence, he firmly believed he was getting closer to the truth.
Just as he was pondering his next move, the men in the distance suddenly stopped talking and looked around warily. Su Ming's heart tightened, and he immediately realized that he might have been discovered. He quickly retreated, holding his breath, trying to minimize his presence.
A few seconds later, the men seemed to relax their guard and continued their transaction. But Su Ming knew that the previous moment meant they had noticed something unusual around them, and he couldn't take any more risks.
He quietly retreated to his car, started the engine, and slowly drove away from the scene. Although he didn't gain any further information, he had already obtained enough information. Now, the key was how to use this information to track down the deeper-level mastermind behind the incident.
After returning to the apartment, Su Ming called Han Jie again. Han Jie on the other end of the phone seemed a little surprised, "You got a clue so quickly?"
"I tracked down one of Li Han's contacts." Su Ming's tone was filled with anxiety. "They just had a secret deal. I suspect they were exchanging some important intelligence."
"Do you have any evidence?" Han Jie's voice sounded cautious.
"I don't have direct evidence, but I have a license plate number." Su Ming responded, "Can you help me check the origin of this license plate number?"
Han Jie was silent for a moment, then agreed: "Give me ten minutes, and I will send you the information you need."
After hanging up the phone, Su Ming sat in front of his computer, waiting quietly. Though still nervous, he was filled with anticipation for the mystery that was about to be revealed. He knew the truth awaited him not far away, and he had to remain calm to gain the upper hand in this dangerous game.
Su Ming sat in front of his computer, his phone screen flashing, displaying the license plate number message from Han Jie. His heartbeat quickened for a moment, but he quickly forced himself to calm down. He stared at the screen, patiently reading Han Jie's message word by word.
"The owner's name is Yang Cheng, 35 years old. He's had several large capital flows recently. His background is quite complex, with connections to underground forces." The information was concise and clear, yet incredibly weighty. Yang Cheng's name reminded Su Ming of several covert transactions previously mentioned in his investigation. Clues gradually converged, forming a hidden network.
"Yang Cheng, it seems you are the key." Su Ming tapped the table lightly, his mind quickly calculating the next move.
He knew that to deal with someone like Yang Cheng, he had to be more cautious. His plan needed to be more meticulous, not only ensuring that he would not be exposed, but also trying to exploit the opponent's weaknesses - this clue provided an entry point, but how to make Yang Cheng expose himself was Su Ming's most difficult problem at the moment.
"Wait a little longer," he thought. Yang Cheng hadn't realized his situation yet, and moving too quickly might alert the enemy. He had to lie low and wait for his chance.
Su Ming put away his phone, prepared his notes, and immersed himself in planning again.
It was late at night, and the lights in the apartment seemed especially bright in the silent darkness. Su Ming sat by the window, the night outside seeming oppressive, as if even the air had frozen. He sighed softly, remembering his original intention when he joined this field.
"Why did you choose this path?" he'd been asked countless times. Each time, he'd avoided a direct answer. After all, the answer lay deep within him. Perhaps it was the pursuit of excitement, or perhaps it was because he had no other choice.
But now, he wouldn't allow himself to dwell on these emotions. He knew that as a spy, every step he took had to be calm and precise, without the slightest wavering. Any emotional fluctuation could lead to mission failure, or even the cost of his life.
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, waking Su Ming's mind. He hadn't slept well the previous night, and his mind kept replaying Yang Cheng's information and possible courses of action. After a night of contemplation, he had already formed a preliminary plan.
"It's time to take action." He made a silent decision in his heart, quickly packed himself up, and set off for the target location.
Yang Cheng's company was located in a corner of the city. It looked like an ordinary office building, but within it lay a hidden secret. Su Ming had investigated the security measures there. While they appeared to be routine protections, he knew there must be a more rigorous surveillance system behind the scenes. He had to find a way in that would not attract attention.
After approaching the company, Su Ming didn't go directly to the main entrance, but instead went around to the back alley, where goods were transported and less frequented. He put on his hat and approached discreetly. A truck was unloading there. Su Ming quickly scanned the area, confirming there were no unnoticed eyes. Then he quietly approached the truck and quickly slipped into its shadow.
"I should be able to hide here for a while." He thought to himself, waiting patiently for the right opportunity.
The truck driver didn't seem to notice anything unusual in the back compartment. After unloading the cargo, he drove directly into the company's warehouse area. After the truck came to a complete stop, Su Ming gently pushed open the door and quickly hid in a corner of the warehouse. His movements were light and practiced, as if he was already familiar with such infiltration operations.
At that moment, Yang Cheng was in an office on the upper floors of the building. Su Ming peered through the window and saw him conversing with a man in a black suit. Both men's expressions were unusually serious. Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, his body language suggested that this conversation was more than just a simple business matter.
Su Ming didn't act rashly. He knew that any premature action before fully understanding the other party's plan could put him in danger. He chose to wait and observe patiently.
