On the dock, Zhang Tianhao had already approached a dockworker.

"Brother, where is Su Daqiang?"

At this moment, the worker glanced at him, then pointed to Su Daqiang, who was carrying dock bags not far away, and said, "He's right there. What do you need him for?"

"Well, I was introduced by one of his friends. I'm here to ask him something!"

"Oh, I see."

The worker smiled and accepted a cigarette from Zhang Tianhao.

Zhang Tianhao did nothing else but walked over.

"Su Daqiang!"

He called out and saw Su Daqiang turn around, looking at Zhang Tianhao with a puzzled expression.

"May I ask who you are?"

"Hello, could you please put your things down?"

He pointed to the cargo bag on Su Daqiang's body, then pointed to an open space to the side, and said with a smile, "Shall we go over there and say a few words?"

"All right!"

Su Daqiang looked around and, after confirming that there were no problems, put down his bag and followed Zhang Tianhao to the side.

The two found a relatively secluded spot and then stood still.

Zhang Tianhao took out a cigarette, tossed it over, and lit one for himself at the same time.

"Excuse me, who are you...?"

Su Daqiang took the cigarette and looked at Zhang Tianhao with some doubt, after all, he really didn't remember this kind of person.

"Young Master!"

"Are you the young master?"

He looked Zhang Tianhao up and down, still somewhat unsure, since the person in front of him didn't quite look like him.

"No doubt about it!"

Zhang Tianhao uttered another sentence, then whispered, "Bluefish."

Upon hearing Zhang Tianhao mention his code name, he became serious, cautiously glancing around before slowly asking, "What is it?"

"I would be happy to have you come here in person!"

"What happened to Yan Xiao? He seems to have been missing for a while now, hasn't he?"

"Yan Xiao, wasn't he injured?"

“I have almost completely healed his injuries. He left home half a month ago and I haven’t heard anything from him since. That’s why I came to ask you.”

"He's missing?"

"I have no news about him either, but I don't know if the higher-ups have made any other arrangements?"

“I don’t know either, and neither do his two deputies. I suspect something might have happened to him.”

"Will something happen to him?"

"Yes. Something bad has probably happened."

"That would be troublesome."

"I'll go check on his downline. If I don't notify you by 7 a.m. tomorrow, immediately take your men and retreat to northern Jiangsu, understand?"

"Young Master, this, this..."

"Follow my orders. This is a matter of life and death. What more do you want?"

"Yes!"

"Alright, I'll go find his downline in a bit. Be careful, and go home early tonight, understand?"

He gently patted the other person's room, then said helplessly.

"it is good!"

Zhang Tianhao didn't say much, but took out ten silver dollars and stuffed them directly into his hand, along with a stack of several hundred counterfeit coins, before turning and leaving.

Not long after, he found Yan Xiao's contact again.

The result was the same, and he sighed. It seemed that Yan Xiao had disappeared.

However, Yan Xiao had been missing for almost half a month, which made him somewhat uneasy. He returned home with a restless heart and saw Sun Xiaolan sitting there, her hands supporting her chin, looking happy but with vacant eyes.

"Oh, Dr. Wang, you're back?"

"Yes, I'm back!"

He pushed his bicycle into the yard and closed the gate again, since it was already quite late.

He was gone for more than an hour.

"Oh, right, there's something I'll ask about later!"

"it is good!"

The two of them went to the kitchen, picked up their bowls and chopsticks, and began to eat slowly.

"By the way, do you know where your brother-in-law went?"

"I don't know. I have no idea where he went. He didn't tell me!"

"You didn't go out to find out about him, did you?"

Thinking of this, Sun Xiaolan asked with some concern.

"I did inquire. Your brother-in-law has been gone for half a month. I'm still a little worried that he might get involved with you. But does he know anything about your situation?"

He thought for a moment, then asked in a low voice.

"I don't know. I've never mentioned my situation to him, not even my sister knows."

"Sigh, you should start reverting to your original identity from tomorrow. There's a high chance that the identity of Sun Xiaomei will cause problems."

"What happened that made you so nervous?"

“Your brother-in-law has disappeared, and I’m afraid he might know something about you.”

“He won’t do that, at least not to betray me. Besides, he doesn’t know anything about me, really. I can guarantee that.”

"Alright then, but this is indeed a problem."

"Does he really not know, or have never heard of, your identity?"

"I really don't know."

Zhang Tianhao frowned. After all, a perfectly healthy person had simply disappeared, and had been missing for so long. He had a bad feeling about it.

However, he also believed in his comrades, because if something really was going to happen, it should have happened long ago!

"Ugh!"

Although there were no problems with the arrangements, he was still a little worried about Sun Xiaolan.

"Xiao Lan, shouldn't you lay low for a while?"

"No need, I'm really fine. I believe my brother-in-law doesn't know about my situation either, really."

"Fine, whatever!"

He sighed as well, since he really didn't know what to say.

……

"Old Zhou, we really didn't do a good job on this mission. Now those three families have sent even more spies to their doorsteps, making it difficult for us to pick them up. Sigh!"

Old Li, standing to the side, gave a wry smile; after all, who could have imagined things would turn out this way?

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. We might not be able to take anyone with us tonight, or for the next few days."

"It's still a matter of poor communication between the higher-ups and us."

"No, it's our fault for not doing our job well. We could have done it in advance, and we should have taken into account the actual situation. It's not just one or two cases, it could be many. We oversimplified the task. It's all our fault."

Old Li, who was standing to the side, also realized that it was only said that the operation would take place on Friday, but the time of the operation was not specified. It could be in the morning, evening, or noon, but it was definitely not about failing to complete the task. That would be the biggest failure.

"We oversimplified things."

Old Zhou, who was standing to the side, also realized what was happening and frowned. After all, it would be far too difficult to forcibly take the person away now.

"I wonder if the young master has any other ideas?"

"do not know!"

"Sigh, it's hard to even see them now, let alone take them away. These damned spies are watching us so closely, they don't give us a single chance."

"This, this..." (End of Chapter)
