Chapter 2751: Chapter 2752: Deceive Heaven to Cross the Sea

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. We’re here to load goods, preparing to send to a special school,” said the short-haired driver.

Wright, still skeptical, ordered a comprehensive check inside the cab but still found nothing.

With things as they were, Wright calmed down.

The identities of the people in front of him were very special. Continuing might lead to bad consequences.

He then led his team to withdraw.

“Leader, could it be that they’re not hiding in the car and really came to load goods from the warehouse?”

“Not likely.”

Wright’s face was grim. He originally wanted to use this opportunity for promotion and a raise.

But now, failing to capture anyone means his promotion chance is gone.

“Check the nearby surveillance footage as quickly as possible.”

“Yes!”

The co-driver sent messages to his colleagues.

After about ten minutes, the nearby surveillance videos were sent over.

Gazing intently at the video on the phone, Wright focused all his attention.

After the car drove in, it stopped for about two minutes, then the warehouse staff walked out, followed by his appearance.

As for the remaining content, there’s no need to watch further.

“It seems they’re really not in the car; maybe they really came to load goods.”

Wright nodded, agreeing with this view.

After all, the surveillance captured it, the evidence was irrefutable—they really weren’t in the car.

“Check other teams’ situations. Since they’re not in these vehicles, they must be elsewhere.”

“Understood.”

…

Right now, Campbell was smoking and fishing in a forest.

Surrounded by endless lakes, the scenery was beautiful.

For him, capturing the Guardian Brigade was no longer suspenseful, as Zachary was in charge, which was enough.

Furthermore, that person named Lin Yi was already dead, so remaining questions didn’t matter much.

“Oh, a big fish is coming!”

Seeing the float suddenly sink, Campbell hurriedly reeled in, delighted.

Ringing—

Just then, Campbell’s phone rang. He glanced at it and saw it was a call from Zachary.

But he didn’t answer, focusing on the hooked big fish.

Even when the call ended, he wasn’t in a rush.

After dealing with the caught fish, his phone rang again.

“There’s no one in the car. According to investigative results, they went to the warehouse to load goods.”

“No one? Loading goods?”

Campbell was taken aback, “Are you sure there’s no oversight?”

“None, the entire process was captured on surveillance video proving there were truly no people in the car.”

“If that’s the case, they must still be inside, not having come out,” Campbell’s face was not looking good as he said:

“Where was the body sent?”

“Sent to the airport, onto their private flight back to China,” Zachary said:

“While en route, we prepared for a routine check, but they disagreed. We feared a clash, so we didn’t intercept. What’s the next step?”

“Given that he’s dead, our task can be considered complete,” Campbell said:

“But continue monitoring. Capturing other members of the Guardian Brigade would be beneficial.”

“Understood!”

Ending the call with Zachary, Campbell baited the hook again, continuing to fish.

Although the plan failed, not capturing who he wanted, Campbell wasn’t panicking at all.

In the whole plan, as long as that person named Lin Yi was dead, it was considered successful.

The capture of others was just icing on the cake.

There were, however, two problems in front of him now.

Lin Yi was dead; he was Lin Jingzhan’s son. Learning this news, he certainly wouldn’t let it go.

Though it was Gerald who did it, it was no guarantee that he wouldn’t vent his anger on others.

The prime target then would be the Storm Team on the island.

Next was the statue; those two items had significant research value and were now in Chinese hands.

If they couldn’t be retrieved, his position might become unstable.

He needed to solve this.

Ringing—

Campbell’s phone rang again. Seeing the number, he immediately put down his fishing rod.

The call wasn’t from just anyone, but Sean, the Storm Team’s captain.

“Poker’s people have been acting strangely lately, looking like they’re about to move.”

Upon hearing these words, Campbell’s face changed, quickly saying:

“Stop all operations, retreat to a safe area, and avoid any conflicts with them!”

“Hmm?”

Sean’s tone lifted, “Are they targeting Storm?”

“His son is dead; I suspect he received the news and is planning retaliation,” Campbell said:

“You are all on the island, so you’d definitely be his first target. Now halt all actions, observe the island’s situation, and if it’s urgent, immediately return home!”

“Understood.”

Ending the call, Campbell’s expression became somewhat serious.

The news had come timely, according to Tilia Island’s international convention, once retreating to the safe zone, no action can be taken.

For the moment, their safety should be assured.

After all, the Storm Team couldn’t afford losses, unlike the Ghost Squad.

Campbell spent the whole afternoon fishing but, except for that one big fish, didn’t catch anything else.

His mind wandered far away beyond the clouds.

Constantly thinking about how to retrieve the statue.

Yet continually failing to find a perfect solution.

“If it doesn’t work out, I’ll have to use another method like this…”

Feeling exhaustion, Campbell packed up and headed home.

Because his wife died three years ago, Campbell lived alone in his later years.

Returning home, Campbell went to the study and turned on the computer.

The computer’s inbox had a dozen new emails.

The contents were surveillance videos.

All vehicle movements were under surveillance.

Campbell lit a cigarette and watched quietly.

Finding the content consistent with what Zachary said, no one got off the car the entire time.

After inspection, the car was empty.

This proved they hadn’t left, still inside, and it was Campbell’s mistake.

Campbell leaned on the chair back, contemplating a new capture plan.

Yet at that moment, his keen senses detected footsteps outside the study.

The wrinkles on his face instantly gathered.

Without prior notice or appointment, no one was supposed to come to his house.

However, he didn’t make any unusual moves. In his view, everything was under his control, maybe he was just too sensitive.

But!

When the person outside stood at the study door, Campbell’s face changed dramatically, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead, as if he had seen a ghost.

“You’re actually not dead!”
