Your skills are excellent, and now I have them too.

Chapter 101 Stupidity Beats Experts

Lu Zhao watched TV dramas on the car's built-in movie theater for a long time, but he was actually faking it.

As an undercover agent, he didn't have the leisure for such things, so while his eyes were fixed on the screen, he kept glancing at the people inside the car and the scenery outside the window out of the corner of his eye.

Now, after the car passed a city highway exit, he realized something was wrong.

According to the plan, he was to take a car to the headquarters of Luobo Fresh Food Group to meet his illegitimate father.

Before setting off, he had already memorized the map and constructed a rough map through rapid thinking and bursts of computing power, which was equivalent to having a relatively rough human navigation in his mind.

After comparing the two, he was certain that the luxury car beneath him was moving away from its intended destination and heading out of the city.

what's going on?

Lu Zhao is facing an awkward situation.

You absolutely cannot ask him.

Since he is currently an outsider, he shouldn't know the way around Vientiane Island.

He only possesses special skills; he is not omniscient or omnipotent, nor could he possibly know the identity of the person driving.

What if the radish smuggling ring doesn't trust my identity and is testing me? Or is it just a detour for some other reason?

If so, if we speak up now that the road is wrong, the leader of the Luo Xia Group's armed forces, the Smiling Tiger Tianyan, will definitely notice this detail when we return.

According to the information sent back by Sui Chaoyu, although the person surnamed Xia called him "Second Brother" on the surface, he did not actually trust him completely.

But what if it's not a test? Could it be... a kidnapping?

That can't be right. Nangong Qingye said that Luo Tianchong, the boss of Luobo Group, used to be the richest man and is still a tycoon. He can smuggle weapons in secret. He has both armed forces and a protective umbrella. He is a local bigwig in Wanxiang County, the capital of Wanxiang Continent. Who would dare to mess with him?

Rivals? But Ling Dongxun said that they had just fought a gang war a year ago, and now it's a peaceful time. Besides, even if it really is one of the other major forces, they would kidnap Luo Tianchong's relatives. Sui Chaoyu is a top-notch henchman with a high position in the group, but he has no real power.

【Heart as still as water】

Lu Zhao calmly pondered for a moment.

"Let's go through it from the beginning. The identity verification process when we disembarked was not rigorous, and the identities of these people are actually questionable."

You can't blame him for not checking carefully at the time, because the character was supposed to be a country boy who grew up in a remote area, inherited his father's fighting talent, but had never received professional training.

He couldn't appear too cautious, since the people who picked him up were all arranged by Xia Tianyan. If he gave himself away, it might arouse suspicion.

"Could it really be a kidnapping by outsiders? No, this process should be called abduction..."

"7

"So what do we do? Jump out of the car and run, or start killing?"

"Oh dear, this is my first time going undercover, so I don't have much experience. During the training, the senior officer didn't mention what to do if I got kidnapped before I even made contact."

"No, no, no, the senior said that you should not only think about solving things yourself, as that will increase the risk. You should focus on teamwork and share the risks."

"Looking at it from another angle, Lao Sui just can't come to the airport to pick me up in person because of his public image, but he's definitely keeping a close eye on my situation."

"If this is a test from the group, then there's no need to do anything; if it's really a kidnapping, such a criminal organization would definitely rescue me immediately."

In summary.

Wait! Wait until the group resolves the issue itself.

This mission is of utmost importance. Regardless of these people's motives, in a contest between experts, the slightest mistake can lead to a major disaster. We must remain calm and composed.

Pretending not to notice, Lu Zhao tapped the seat in front of him: "Another iced soda, apple flavor, please."

The world is a giant makeshift operation.

This statement seems correct from the result, but if you examine the process closely, it is actually not accurate.

The reason things go wrong is not necessarily because of a makeshift platform, but because the world is a very complex system, and any slight disturbance can cause enormous changes.

The original metaphor of the butterfly effect theory is that the occasional flapping of a butterfly's wings in the southern Amazon rainforest could cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later.

Even the most professional team can't prevent a butterfly from flapping its wings thousands of miles away.

No one can have everything under control; even the immortal Qin Shi Huang could not overcome the shadow left by Shang Yang.

Therefore, even though one side was the action command led by Meng Qing, the son of the Great General and commander of the Linglong Guard, and the other side was an arms smuggling group secretly contacting Shang Ni, no one could figure out what was happening.

Who on earth dared to kidnap the son of the famous swordsman Sui Chaoyu at the entrance of the passenger port, especially since he is now a high-ranking executive of the Luoxia Group?

"Whoever did it, and what was their motive?"

Ling Dongxun racked his brains but couldn't figure it out. "I've never heard of kidnapping an arms dealer for ransom. They'd rather have money than their lives."

""

Nangong Qingye said awkwardly, "Is it possible that it's not about the money?"

When Lu Zhao left the military supervisor's temple, he went on duty at the same time. According to the plan, he was supposed to keep watch in secret and find ways to provide assistance should Lu Zhao encounter any problems.

However, to their surprise, after less than half a day of surveillance, they discovered that the underground world of the county town had been turned upside down.

He didn't even need to use the reconnaissance skills he had learned over the years. He just needed to find a neighborhood with a slightly poor security, squat down by the roadside for a while, and he would immediately know that Xia Tianyan was frantically searching for someone. So he would run back to report without saying a word.

Hearing his guess, Ling Dongxun shook his head slightly: "If not for money, then what, perhaps to rape? Or are you talking about Luo Tianchong's competitors? Those people don't use that kind of tactic."

That's the weirdest part. No matter who's secretly doing this, I can't come up with a reasonable motive no matter how hard I try.

Nangong Qingye was also at her wit's end.

He set up surveillance points opposite the headquarters of Luoxia Group and at Sui Chaoyu's residence. According to the plan, he could monitor Lu Zhao as soon as he got out of the car.

But unexpectedly, the person went missing before even leaving the passenger port.

"Lieutenant Ling, should we report this to Commander Meng and have the Linglong Guard deployed to find the person?"

"impossible."

Lieutenant Ling said decisively, "To put it bluntly, even if Lu Zhao really sacrifices himself, relying solely on Sui Chaoyu will at worst lower the success rate of the operation, but at least there will still be a chance. If we use the Linglong Guard to search for people on a large scale, it will be detected by Shang Ni's spies one hundred percent, and the operation will inevitably fail."

Nangong Qingye realized she had spoken out of turn.

With Shang Jun's secretary in hand, the rebels are extremely difficult to detect once they hide. In order to prevent them from discovering this operation, both the Linglong Guard and the Qingming Guard, who were called in to provide military support, are still floating in the Void Sea, unaware of what the mission is.

Only a few commanders and deputy commanders secretly entered the military supervisor's temple, and even then they had to hide in small rooms and not let anyone get close.

The deal between the Radish Group and the rebels hasn't even started yet, so it's impossible to use these decisive forces. After all, infiltrating is only the first step. The higher-ups' goal isn't to combat crime in Vientiane, but to find out who the rebels are.

At this moment, a second-class military supervisor from the military supervisory temple arrived at the door.

"Team Leader Nangong, we've found the surveillance footage you requested."

"Give me."

Nangong Qingye quickly took the storage disk handed to her, sent the person away, and then put it on the computer.

The two of them, like elementary school students in a computer class, squeezed in front of the screen to watch it frame by frame.

Two unlicensed cars drove out of the VIP channel of the passenger port, and drove away after the barrier was automatically raised. There were no signs of damage on the cars. The side windows were completely black, so you couldn't see inside. You could only see from the front that the driver was a fat man with his clothes very tight.

"Are there no other surveillance cameras?" Ling Dongxun asked.

"Sigh, with the security situation in Vientiane Island, if you install a surveillance camera on the side of the road, it'll be stolen within three days..."

Nangong Qingye glanced at the other party's serious expression and said awkwardly, "What I mean is, there's nothing else, there's only surveillance indoors."

Ling Dongxun nodded slightly and then said, "Play back the footage of the pole being lifted."

The camera panned back to the middle, with the monitor pointing directly at the windshield of the first car.

"The driver's clothes didn't fit well."

Ling Dongxun stroked his chin. "Someone 'robbed' Bu Tianyan's men and put on their clothes."

"It's true, not even preparing their outfits in advance is so unprofessional." Nangong Qingye also noticed this.

If it were a well-trained team of notorious thieves or assassins, they would definitely plan everything in advance, including whether the clothes fit.

"No, something's not right."

Nangong Qingye closed her eyes and began to review in her mind all the investigations she had ever been involved in and all the case files she had read.

After a while, he opened his eyes again.

"Lieutenant Ling, I suddenly remembered something a senior officer from the Public Security Bureau told me when I was investigating a case of soldiers committing murder."

"What?"

"The most difficult cases to solve in the world are not premeditated and meticulous crimes, but illogical and impulsive ones."

"you mean...

'

"What are the typical methods used by the underworld? First, they find out where the target lives, preferably the mistress's, and then they make their move when the target is in bed at night."

Alternatively, investigate the target's behavioral habits and choose a sparsely populated place to hijack the car halfway.

Regardless, passenger ports are too crowded and the environment too complex. A slight misstep could arouse suspicion and lead to being watched by countless eyes; the risk is almost unbearable. Experienced people wouldn't choose such a place.

Nangong Qingye said in a deep voice, "So what I mean is, we may have run into a bunch of hotheads."

Ling Dongxun's face froze: "You mean... because he was too reckless, he couldn't be predicted?"

"To put it simply, it's called 'idiot beats expert'."
