the next day.

In the morning, Jackie Chan sent Cheng Cai and Wu Liuyi to replace Wu Zhe and Tuo Yonggang, who had been monitoring Zhuang Yan for a day, to continue protecting him in secret.

He himself specifically called Xu Sanduo over, as there was something more important to do.

After carefully dressing up, Jackie Chan and Xu Sanduo, carrying the portable interception and listening equipment provided by Yang Ming, drove to Yuanshan Town, the old stronghold of the Ma family.

He pretended to be a tourist, found a hotel to stay in, and began to wait for news from Cheng Cai.

The news that Cheng Cai reported in the morning was all normal. Ma Qitong, who was not short of money, was in the honeymoon phase and took Zhuang Yan shopping all over the street.

The two of them changed from head to toe, and they walked together with their hands almost never apart.

Cheng Cai was quite envious.

Then Jackie Chan directly retorted that this was just a performance, and you could only watch and not do anything, so it might not be an enjoyable experience.

With a brain as sharp as Cheng Cai's, he realized it in a second.

Instantly, I stopped envying them and even felt sorry for them.

Around four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Cheng Cai finally brought the news that Jackie Chan wanted to hear—

The Ma family group's salesmen found Zhuang Yan and took him and Ma Qitong into their car, heading towards Yuanshan Town.

After Cheng Cai reported the situation to Jackie Chan, he and Wu Liu immediately continued their pursuit on a motorcycle.

Having obtained crucial information, Jackie Chan and Xu Sanduo, carrying a briefcase-like interception and eavesdropping device, quietly left the hotel on foot.

The Ma family group controls the entire Yuanshan Town, and their headquarters are located within the town.

This large villa, covering more than ten acres and featuring a private garden, independent swimming pool, pavilions, and towers, is undoubtedly the most luxurious in the city.

none of them!

Jackie Chan didn't need to search at all; he found the Ma family's mansion very easily.

They found a secluded grove of trees on the outskirts, close to the buildings, and turned on their portable interception and eavesdropping device to start monitoring cell phone signals.

These days, very few people can afford a mobile phone, which makes it easier for Jackie Chan to intercept signals.

In this significant year of the new millennium, China already had a distinction between China Telecom and China Mobile, and several mobile phones, including Nokia, were available.

The size of mobile phones has been greatly reduced, unlike the bulky brick-like phones of the early days.

The listening equipment provided by Yang Ming can detect mobile phone call signals within a radius of 500 meters and intercept the signals, converting them into voice.

Covering the entire Ma family's territory is no problem at all.

As long as a cell phone signal is detected within the monitoring range, Jackie Chan's team can immediately intercept and translate it into speech, thus gaining more control.

Jackie Chan and Xu Sanduo listened for more than two hours but only intercepted three cell phone signals.

The first person to speak had a rather old voice, and seemed to be someone who had fought overseas. He didn't say anything secret; it was just normal casual conversation and greetings.

Jackie Chan had no way of knowing who answered the phone.

The technology isn't that advanced yet.

However, Jackie Chan could guess who made the call: it was Ma Shichang.

The second phone call came from a young man, who was probably calling his subordinate to ask how things were going and whether the person had been found.

Based on the content of this phone call, Jackie Chan could basically guess who it was.

It's highly likely that Ma Yunfei called his subordinates to ask if Zhuang Yan and Ma Qitong had been brought back; that's the real headline story tonight.

The third one, also made by Ma Yunfei, consisted of only five words—

Bring the person over here!

Based on his understanding of the plot, Jackie Chan was able to deduce a great deal of important information from the phone call, even though it consisted of only five words.

Miao Lian's identity is quite unusual, and a large number of police officers are watching him.

Unless Ma Yunfei and Ma Shichang are fools, they wouldn't keep Miao Lian locked up in their hideout. If the police were to raid it, the Ma family would be brought down.

The Ma family is able to commit so many evil deeds and still live well in Yuanshan Town.

The biggest reason is that Ma Shichang is very resourceful; he has hidden all the evidence of his crimes, and the police have no way of obtaining any evidence of his crimes.

There's nothing we can do about him without evidence, even if we know he's a book peddler.

Arresting and killing a police officer is a capital offense, and Ma Yunfei would never imprison him in his hideout to leave the police with irrefutable evidence.

Miao Lian must be imprisoned somewhere else.

If Ma Yunfei wanted to use Miao Lian to test Zhuang Yan, he first had to call his underlings and ask them to secretly send the man to the hideout.

The main reason Jackie Chan brought the listening device was for this clue.

Now that they had finally gotten their hands on it, Jackie Chan didn't hesitate for even a second. Time was money, so he immediately took Xu Sanduo and started the operation.

We returned to the hotel and drove out of town.

There is only one road leading into the town.

In addition, the dirt road is in poor condition, so the car can't go very fast. It takes nearly two hours to drive here from the county town.

Jackie Chan has plenty of time and space to do something special on this path.

"Calling Gunslinger, this is Tank, reporting the current location of Siberian Wolf, over." Jackie Chan inquired via radio from inside the vehicle.

"Gun God, received. The Siberian Wolves are expected to arrive in Yuanshan Town in one hour. Over." Cheng Cai replied.

"Received, call ended."

After Jackie Chan ended his call with the protection team, the car continued driving for about 2 kilometers before Jackie Chan told Xu Sanduo to stop the car in the middle of the road.

Then they propped up the hood and pretended the car had broken down and was being repaired on the road.

Xu Sanduo, wearing gloves and a wrench, was in charge of tinkering in the engine compartment of the car, just like he was repairing a car, while Jackie Chan hid in the woods.

I didn't encounter any private cars on the way here, only a small shuttle bus that was coming in.

Jackie Chan was certain that Miao Lian had not yet been delivered.

The purpose of parking the car on the road was to intercept the peddler's vehicle that was taking Miao Lian to the Ma Family Manor-style villa, so that Jackie Chan could take the opportunity to perform some tricks.

Less than five minutes after the camouflage scene was set up, a hand-operated tractor came roaring over.

My luck wasn't very good.

Xu Sanduo could only awkwardly close the hood and drive the car to the side of the road to make way for the tractor to pass on the right.

After the tractor has passed by, park the vehicle back in the middle of the road to block it.

I guess he didn't check the Chinese calendar before he went out.

About 10 minutes later, instead of the vehicle that was supposed to bring Miao Lian, a hand-operated tractor emitting black smoke from its exhaust arrived.

Xu Sanduo was both amused and exasperated, and prepared to move the car again.

But then Jackie Chan's voice came through the earphones: "There's no time to spare, we can't move the car anymore. Try to stall the fellow villager for now."

While Jackie Chan was worried that Xu Sanduo was making way, the car that was taking Miao Lian arrived but failed to block the way.

Xu Sanduo understood Jackie Chan's concerns, so he deliberately loosened the battery connector, then took out his signature silly-looking gun and walked towards the hand-held tractor.

There was no need for acting; it was purely a natural performance.

The driver of the hand tractor was quite friendly and didn't impatiently yell at Xu Sanduo to make way or help push the tractor to the side of the road so it wouldn't block the way.

Instead, he immediately jumped out of the car and kindly offered to help Xu Sanduo fix it.

Xu Sanduo was just stalling for time, so he quickly took out the Hongtashan cigarettes that Cheng Cai had given him earlier and gratefully offered one to his fellow villager.

The villagers saw that it was a pack of Hongtashan cigarettes that cost ten yuan, a good cigarette that only the rich could afford.

The smile on his face grew wider and he became even more enthusiastic.

He lit a Hongtashan cigarette and smoked it with relish, then leaned over the hood of the engine and began to examine it intently, offering Xu Sanduo all sorts of advice like a seasoned veteran.

The two of them were having a heated discussion, completely blocking the road with their two cars.

Fortunately, very few people owned cars in those days; the average proportion was estimated to be less than one in 100,000. Most people owned bicycles or motorcycles.

For the next ten minutes, no cars or tractors appeared.

Several two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycles or bicycles appeared; these vehicles were small and could easily pass from the sides.

It wasn't until after 5 p.m.

With the convoy picking up Zhuang Yan and Ma Qitong about to pass through this section of road in half an hour, time was running out and things were becoming increasingly urgent.

A bread truck, probably about 60% new, drove up from a distance and stopped behind the tractor.

The fact that the van's windows were all sealed off tells you that what it was carrying was definitely something shady and couldn't be brought to light.

It's most likely Miao Lian!

When Jackie Chan saw the bread truck approaching, he began to make preparations in secret.

Perhaps it's because Yuanshan Town is the Ma family's territory, and everyone in the town listens to the Ma family. As a subordinate of the Ma family group, he considers himself to be someone superior to others.

They're used to being arrogant and domineering here.

The vendors on the bread truck were completely unsuspecting, and the driver angrily opened the door and got out the very next second after stopping the truck.

"What are you doing blocking the road? Move your cars to the side right now, or I'll smash them."

The driver shouted arrogantly as he strode toward Xu Sanduo.

Xu Sanduo had already prepared himself mentally. He skillfully bowed and scraped, took out cigarettes, apologized repeatedly, and then explained the reason.

In short, it's all very long-winded, with the main goal of dragging things out for as long as possible.

Jackie Chan, who had been hiding in the woods, also began to make his move at this time.
