Chapter 197 Speculation

Chapter 197: Chapter 197 Speculation

Arriving near the television station, Ling Feng sniffed the air and gently shook his head, "Feifei, the person you’re looking for isn’t here!"

Bai Feifei asked in doubt, "How do you know?"

Ling Feng explained, "Though the members of the Dragon Group have lost their strength, they still possess an aura that is difficult for ordinary people to detect, which leaves traces in the air, but there’s none here. What’s more, even if it’s near the television station, there couldn’t possibly be a source of interference strong enough to affect the signal devices, right?"

Bai Feifei frowned, "Are you really sure?"

Ling Feng nodded his head.

"So what do we do now?" Bai Feifei said with frustration, "Now the signal devices on three people have failed, how can we find them?"

With a slight smile, Ling Feng said, "Actually, on the way here, I made some guesses. If I’m not wrong, I can almost determine their current location!"

Bai Feifei’s eyes lit up, "Speak quickly, where could they possibly be?"

Ling Feng didn’t say directly but pointed at the last known positions of the three people and said, "Feifei, haven’t you noticed something similar about the places where they disappeared?"

Bai Feifei looked at the map and said irritably, "Something similar? How would I know... No, wait, their locations..."

Ling Feng watched as Bai Feifei’s eyes brightened and he nodded, saying, "As you have seen, the direction they were last seen heading in is close to a certain place!"

Bai Feifei took a deep breath, "The Yanjing Municipal Government!"

Honestly, Bai Feifei hadn’t thought of that before. If that was the case, weren’t they being a bit too bold?

"If I recall correctly, the government’s report meeting is scheduled for today!" Bai Feifei spoke slowly, "If they mixed in with the meeting attendees, they might indeed escape our surveillance!"

Bai Feifei was also well aware that government meetings often deployed jamming screens to prevent the leak of confidential information! If the three individuals had blended in there, it would make sense that the signals from the trackers wouldn’t transmit!

"Then let’s head there now!" Bai Feifei said decisively.

With a smile, Ling Feng said, "That’s just my speculation. Aren’t you worried that I might be wrong?"

Bai Feifei looked at Ling Feng seriously, "I trust your judgment!"

Seeing the clarity in Bai Feifei’s eyes, Ling Feng sighed softly, "Don’t worry, I’m seventy percent sure!"

With a target in mind, Bai Feifei led a team towards the Yanjing Municipal Government.

Upon reaching the vicinity of the government building, Ling Feng sampled the air and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It seems like we’ve come to the right place!"

Although they had determined that the three missing persons were inside, this was, after all, the municipal government; not even if Bai Feifei was given ten times the courage, would she dare to barge in for a search!

"The only option now is to sneak in covertly and carry out the capture!" Bai Feifei stated seriously, "The rest of you deploy around the perimeter and capture any suspicious individuals on sight! Ling Feng and I will go in and adapt to the situation as it unfolds!"

With that, Bai Feifei led Ling Feng into the government building.

Once inside, Ling Feng asked, "So what do we do now? Do we split up or stick together?"

"Let’s split up!" Bai Feifei replied, "I’d love to stay with you, but this police uniform is a bit too conspicuous. I’ll stay in the open, you stay undercover. Let’s nab these guys once and for all!"

Ling Feng nodded, "Alright then, we’ll split up!"

The two went their separate ways towards the conference room where the government report meeting was held. If the three individuals were hiding anywhere in the municipal government, it could only be in the meeting room. However, Bai Feifei was puzzled about how they managed to hide there.

Ling Feng strolled leisurely around the area and, after a couple of rounds, had a clear mental picture of his surroundings.

"Ling Feng, is that you?" At that moment, a voice tinged with surprise reached him.

Ling Feng turned around to see Yun Hanrui looking at him incredulously, "How come you’re here?"

Touching his nose, Ling Feng said, "I have some business. What about you? Shouldn’t you be at your company now? Why are you here too?"

Yun Hanrui gazed at Ling Feng, the events of yesterday having been suppressed with difficulty, but seeing Ling Feng again stirred something within her.

"I have an entrepreneurs’ meeting shortly," Yun Hanrui sighed lightly and gently touched her hair.

"Entrepreneurs’ meeting?" Ling Feng had a flash of thought and said, "Xiao Rui, could you do me a favor?"

...

At this moment, the government report meeting had ended, and in half an hour, the entrepreneurs’ meeting would take place. In the men’s restroom, three figures gathered together.

"What do we do now? The meeting has ended, should we take this chance to leave?" one man asked.

"Leave? Once we leave, we’d have to continue evading the police, and I’m fed up with this kind of life!" another man said through clenched teeth, "I don’t know if the folks at Dragon Group got kicked in the head by a donkey or what, but they’ve really humiliated us this time!"

"It’s not really humiliation, more like a test," the last man said tiredly, "Though I’m not sure what Dragon Group is thinking, I can say for sure that these have been the most embarrassing three days of my life!"

The strength of these survivors had been sealed, and every hour they were hounded by the police. For three whole days, they hadn’t had a good night’s sleep or a decent meal!

Heavy dark circles were visible under the three men’s eyes, and their faces were unmistakably fatigued.

"What’s the use of talking so much? Let’s get out of here while we still have half an hour, otherwise we’ll be cornered and out of the game!" another suggested.

The second man laughed coldly, "Leave? Where could be safer than here right now? Even if the police have pinpointed our location, would they dare to brazenly come in and search? Don’t be ridiculous, this is the Yanjing Municipal Government!"

"But there are still three days left, we can’t stay here forever!" the first man said helplessly, "Liu Chen, do you have any plans?"

The man named Liu Chen, the strongest and most composed of the three, pondered for a moment and said, "This place seems safe, but it’s not somewhere we can linger for long. We were only brought here because of my connection with Director Chen. After Director Chen finishes the entrepreneurs’ meeting, we’ll have no reason to remain. By then, it’ll be too late to leave!"
