Chapter 9, Tracking

Old Lin replied seriously: "The Three Great Kings have actually made their move"

I will also go to the restroom, as I am a customer. Li Qi took the cola and shook it.

Old Lin returned holding two cups of cola: "Damn it, the hotel restroom is off-limits. I could only find a fast-food restaurant to buy a cup of cola."

The foreigner pressed the button for the seventh floor and then did not move again. Upon reaching the seventh floor, Li Qi was still on the phone: "Drinking? No, drinking is harmful to health. I've been replenishing my kidneys lately... Haha." Li Qi slowly walked out of the elevator and saw the foreign driver enter a room. Glancing casually at the number plate, Li Qi turned around and returned to the elevator, descending to the lobby

Li Qi walked past the car, slowed his pace, and walked in line with a female white-collar worker. He then slightly tilted his head and moved his lips, seemingly engaging in conversation with this white-collar woman. Of course, this was an unnecessary detail, as there were indeed too many people on both sides of the street. However, this was a careful habit of Li Qi's to provide cover.

Do not be discouraged, just work hard. If the grassroots work is done well, you might have the chance to go on field assignments. Once your performance in the field is noticed by the leader or the two group leaders, you may very well become a direct subordinate of a certain leader

Ah, a guest has arrived. Li Qi and the camera suddenly captured a target. This is a foreigner, and Li Qi quickly calculated the individual's profile. Height: 1.85 meters, weight: between 93 and 97 kilograms, Caucasian, with Eastern European features. Why was this foreigner captured? Because the foreigner was originally walking normally, but upon seeing a few people at the newsstand, his steps hesitated for a moment. He slowed down and began to walk, all the while observing his surroundings.

Unless the Russian mafia is in a hurry and is willing to go to any lengths. But is this possible? There are plenty of people from the Xiang family in Europe. Li Qi is unable to connect the two based on the existing information, as they are completely unrelated groups of people.

Are those three individuals the Three Kings?

How do I see this? It seems that Miss Xiang is in big trouble. Li Qi discovered that these three men in black are likely equipped with certain non-lethal weapons. If it is indeed as Old Lin said, it does not indicate the security company's attentiveness, but rather that the security company is aware of the severity of the issue. No wonder the people taking photos outside are all required to wear stab-resistant vests. This time, the number of people going outside has reached twenty, with at least ten in the field, plus Cao Tianwang. This scale is not ordinary compared to the * map * book.

"Brother, are you foolish? China is a gun-free country. Apart from the armed escort team and the Su Tianwang group, there are no real weapons within the security personnel." Old Lin said: "I am going to the restroom; feel free to take pictures. The more you take, the more it shows our dedication."

It is somewhat incredible that Miss Xiang's family has business interests in Europe. Even if there are disputes, the Russian mafia has reason to eliminate Miss Xiang, but the cost is simply too high. A few severed fingers of foreigners would lead to a wanted notice from the Chinese police, leaving no place to hide. Moreover, a woman who only has a fondness for perfume holds no significant value as a target, making such reckless and impulsive actions truly unwarranted

Li Qi put down the camera as a foreigner walked past the apartment entrance while making a phone call, without stopping, and continued on. Li Qi immediately noticed a car accelerating from a speed of 25 to 40. He was even more surprised, realizing that it was not just one Russian gangster; at least four or five people had arrived. Li Qi casually took a few snapshots, not capturing the details of the severed fingers or the fake license plate on the car, but instead interestingly photographed the foreigner, who was not the main subject of the photo; rather, it was a girl beside him. Upon closer inspection of the photo, one could only see the foreigner's severed fingers when looking at it in detail. Similarly, in another photo, the car was not the main subject, yet it inadvertently captured the fake license plate in the frame.

Li Qi adjusted the camera lens, greatly astonished, as he saw the left hand of a foreigner in the viewfinder. The foreigner's left ring finger was severed at the base, likely done in one swift motion with a very sharp small knife. What a coincidence; it was improbable for him to encounter a member of the Russian mafia, who are a headache for police from various countries, in China. In some of the larger international gangs from Russia, new members are required to cut off a finger to demonstrate their courage, which also serves as an excellent method to identify undercover police. However, according to Li Qi's knowledge, the infiltration of international gangs into the Chinese mainland is a matter of life and death, and they seem to be in a hurry to expedite that process.

Old Lin instructed: "Go two blocks!"

Understood. Li Qi stood up. During the current rush hour, taking a car would be slow; he could easily catch up on foot. As he crossed the street and went up the overpass, Li Qi spotted his target. The foreigner with the missing finger got into a suspicious vehicle. While waiting at the red light, the two foreigners got out of the car and swiftly tore off the fake license plate cover. Li Qi couldn't help but laugh; it turned out there was a traffic police officer at the red light. No matter how powerful the Russian and Tushun gang are internationally, when they encounter Chinese traffic police, they still have to behave properly.

"Take care." Li Qi nodded to the female student and then asked, "Old Lin, what’s wrong?"

Approximately ten minutes later, Li Qi watched as a car pulled up in front of a three-star hotel, from which three Russians emerged. The car then proceeded to the underground parking lot. Li Qi entered the hotel lobby and saw the elevator slowly ascending, stopping at the seventh floor. At this moment, he could choose to inquire at the front desk; however, there were surveillance cameras in front of the desk. If these foreigners committed a crime and he had inquired at the front desk, the police would soon have his photograph.

Good! Li Qi took out a small bag. He slowly looked at the lens through the DSLR screen. Li Qi smiled; the atmosphere of the people outside did not match here at all. For instance, there were five shoe-shining shops nearby, and several people were reading newspapers at the newsstand. There were also those hiding in the café drinking coffee. Oh, drinking coffee should be for the field workers; the people outside are not that affluent.

Li Qi took out his phone in the hotel lobby: "Which floor? What number? Oh, I see." He walked towards the elevator and took it with a foreigner who was parking.

At the same time, Li Qi found it strange why Miss Xiang did not choose to report to the police. Was it because the police could not provide evidence of the threats? Or was it due to some unspeakable reason? These thoughts quickly passed through Li Qi's mind as he answered Old Lin's question: "What opinions do I have? I just arrived and don't know anyone."

No, at the top level of the security company, there are five special duty teams. They are responsible for the security of major projects, such as exhibitions of precious artworks, protection of high-profile individuals in danger, and transportation of valuable items. Teams Four and Five have been established and disbanded repeatedly. The woman just now is the leader of the Special Duty Team Three, Cao Yu, also known as King Cao. Despite being a woman, she is a disciple of a renowned karate master and graduated from a prestigious security program in Tokyo. After graduation, she returned to China and joined the Tinghai Security Company. Over the years, she has captured international thieves and successfully prevented two kidnappings. However, Miss Cao is known for her serious demeanor, always dressed in a black suit. The brothers lament that her great figure is wasted in that black suit. Old Lin remarked, "It seems the company values Miss Xiang highly, directly dispatching King Cao. However, it might also be because King Cao is a woman, making it easier for her to connect with Miss Xiang. What do you think, Xiao Li?" Old Lin casually asked.

Li Qi asked, "Do these kings have matching weapons these days?"
