Chapter 0009 Kindness

Gu Yuan frowned slightly, wanting to speak but held back

They found a small restaurant and did not order many dishes, as they could not afford to indulge in a lavish meal with the funds they had on hand; it was sufficient just to fill their stomachs

If the capture fails, then shoot on the spot; after all, over the years, this crippled man has committed enough offenses to warrant his death ten or eight times. Gong Hui leaned against the door frame and snorted coldly

Luo Yaoze accompanied Liu Jinbao to meet the leader of the Yueyang group of the Blue Shirt Society in Wuhan

Let us first find a place to settle down. Gong Hui seems to have some discontent towards Gu Yuan, but shows more respect towards Man Cang.

Luo Yao curled his lips and said, "Sister, what do you mean by saying that you are responsible for my safety? Staying at the inn is the safest for me."

Luo Yao was filled with dark lines on his forehead. What does "I am not afraid of her" mean? Clearly, each of them does not want to deal with Gong Hui.

As Man Cang was about to speak, Liu Jinbao said to Luo Yao, "Old Luo, you go ahead; among the four of us, you are the only one who isn't afraid of her"

Gu Yuan and Man Cang also arrived, and the five of them had a meal together before gathering in the large dormitory where they were staying. As the New Year approaches, the business at the inn is quite slow.

Man Cang nodded and said: "Perhaps the news of us coming to Yueyang to catch him has already reached him. Team Leader Liu, you haven't mentioned our accommodation to the Yueyang team, have you?"

As the year-end approaches, although fierce battles rage ahead and our soldiers are engaged in bloody combat with the Japanese army, this is the rear area, and life must continue as usual.

Then let's go

Gong Huidao: "The higher-ups wanting to keep someone alive has nothing to do with us. The current issue is, where is Duan Quezi now? Will he go to Yin Tianchou's house for dinner on the evening of the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month? Also, once our mission is successful, how do we leave?"

Of course, that goes without saying; one cannot easily discern another's heart. I am not that foolish. Liu Jinbao nodded, acknowledging that while one might lack experience to be selected for the special training class, there is certainly no room for a fool.

This individual has a good reputation in the underworld, is very loyal, generous in his actions, has many friends, and is extremely cautious. He is like a cunning rabbit with three burrows, making him a difficult character to deal with

Duan Quezi, as a notorious river pirate, has committed numerous major crimes in the Lianghu region over the years, accumulating a long list of heinous acts

"There are five of us, and the goal is too ambitious. I suggest we disguise ourselves, preferably adopting suitable identities," Gu Yuan proposed as Luo Yao and his group of five disembarked at a dock in Yueyang City.

Liu Jinbao recounted the information he had gathered from the Yueyang group and concluded, "This is the situation; everyone, please share your thoughts on how we should proceed next"

Four people, you look at me, I look at you, not a single one is proactive

This is the most basic; if we also account for transportation and other necessary expenses, it would be quite good to make ten dollars last for four or five days

"I visited the Yueyang Police Station once last year, and the layout inside should not have changed much. We can quietly go in and it should be no problem to take out the files," Liu Jinbao said. He came from the Special Operations Team, and doing such things was a routine matter for him, with no taboos.

Are you really not hungry

I am not hungry, stop wasting words, hurry up and leave

"You definitely cannot go alone; at least there should be someone outside to assist you," Gu Yuan said. "How about I accompany you? In case something happens, at least there will be someone to come back and report the news."

"Miss Gong, what is your opinion?" Liu Jinbao turned his head to ask. If Miss Gong disagrees, it will be difficult to handle. Although he is the team leader, he may not have much authority to make decisions.

Our task is to keep them alive; if they die, then it will be different

Good

He is currently inconspicuous within the group, although previously he had mentioned saving half of the budget, it did not change anyone's perception of him.

"Miss Gong, is Old Liu inviting us to dinner?" Luo Yao asked, knocking on the door.

Rest assured

Upon arriving in Yueyang City, everything must be handled personally

Contact them to understand the specifics and subsequent developments, and then determine the action plan

"Whoever is going, I certainly am not going," Gu Yuan added, plopping down on the stool, appearing completely indifferent as if the matter had nothing to do with him

"Lao Luo, what’s going on?" Liu Jinbao sat down next to Luo Yao and asked like a curious child

You are welcome. Luo Yao responded淡淡ly.

"Let us act together; if we stay, we will not be able to sleep either," Gong Hui said

Upon entering the city, the streets were bustling with people and vehicles, and the sounds of vendors calling out their wares rose and fell, creating a lively atmosphere

Let's go, we should eat first. Once settled, Liu Jinbao called out, on the boat, the captain covered all the food and drinks, not letting them spend any money

Here lies a land abundant in fish and rice, exuding an atmosphere of tranquility and harmony

Without further ado, Luo Yao nodded in agreement, turned around and exited, heading upstairs in search of the room number where Gong Hui resided

Luo Yaomen walked at the back, rarely speaking

Without local intelligence support, it is nearly impossible for them to complete the capture mission of "Duan Quezi". Furthermore, the information regarding "Duan Quezi" returning to Yueyang was also provided by the Yueyang team

Gu Yuan asked, "Team Leader, why does the higher-ups want them alive?"

Luo Yaoping calmly said: "Stay composed, women have those few days every month."

"Then prepare to separate and leave," Gu Yuan said, glancing at Luo Yao, who was sitting there in silence. "Luo Yao, you stay at the inn. It's too dangerous for you to go on this mission."

This is not putting someone in a difficult position, is it? If it were just about killing someone, that would be simple, but to bring the person all the way back, that is too difficult...

Indeed, faced with that cold, repelling face that keeps people at a distance, any man would have no desire to speak to her

Liu Jinbao's face twisted into a knot, filled with regret. Had he known earlier, he would not have competed with Gong Hui in the "Escape Technique." If he were to lose, he would not have to worry about these matters.

This is good, at least our current location has not been exposed. Man Cang said, he is also an experienced investigator. A criminal like Duan Que, who has committed numerous offenses yet remains elusive, is not only due to his high level of vigilance but also because he has many friends in both the underworld and the law enforcement, making him well-informed.

... ...

After having dinner, the four of them discussed and decided to first gather some information regarding Yin Tianchou

Liu Jinbao stated: "According to the information from Team Leader Deng, this lame man goes to his sworn brother Yin Tianchou's house for dinner every year on the eve of the Lunar New Year. Previously, we had set up a comprehensive net to capture him due to this habit, but Yin Tianchou has a deep-rooted influence in the local area. Not to mention capturing him, we haven't even seen the lame man himself. In the past two years, no one has even mentioned the capture, and it has even become a taboo subject in the local police station."

The dormitory can accommodate ten people, but currently, only four of them are living there, with no outsiders.

On the way back, as they passed by the entrance of a department store, Luo Yao suddenly said: "Team Leader, it's still early to go back, I would like to take a stroll around the area."

Now, we must first ascertain that the crippled man is indeed in Yueyang City

Luo Yaoxin said, "There is such a good thing, just as I was about to agree, Gong Hui interjected: 'Luo Yao will act with me, and I will be responsible for his safety.'"

Luo Yao and three others shared a large dormitory, while Gong Hui opted for a single room by herself

In the evening during dinner, Gong Hui finally came out of her room, although she appeared to be in poor spirits, there was indeed a hint of femininity about her

I am not hungry, you all go eat. Moments later, a voice from inside the door came from Gong Hui, sounding less vigorous than usual, and even somewhat weak.

The archives of the Yueyang Police Department must certainly have ... ...

Among the five, Liu Jinbao has been here before, and can barely be considered a local authority. He led the group to find a small inn, which was relatively cheaper, as the money they brought was not sufficient for them to stay in a better hotel

Gong Hui's absence makes it much more comfortable for the four big men

The meeting place is a tea house

One does not realize the value of household necessities until one manages a household oneself

"Lao Luo, Gong Hui, you two have a problem!" Liu Jinbao came from behind and happened to see the scene where Luo Yao and Gong Hui were speaking softly to each other

The superior thinks too highly of us. This cripple has been rampant for many years, with connections in both the underworld and the law. With just this little bit of information, trying to capture him is truly too difficult

According to the current exchange rate between the ocean currency and fiat currency, one unit of ocean currency is approximately sufficient for two nights' accommodation. Considering meals, the daily expenditure for five people is at least one unit of ocean currency.

Then we went to have a meal

I will go, I will go, just me going

Gu Yuan asked, "Who will go and call Gong Hui?"

The funds for the journey have all been managed by the team leader Liu Jinbao alone, and there are objections from others regarding who should be entrusted with them

Liu Jinbao blinked, and suddenly it seemed as if he understood something. He widened his eyes in shock and looked towards Luo Yao, his gaze filled with disbelief

On such an evening, three units of legal tender are required

Gu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "If there is sufficient case file information regarding a past crime committed by a disabled person to analyze, perhaps some useful clues can be found"

There is no way; can one say not to go

... ...

Divide into two groups: Gu Yuan and Man Cang will form one group to scout the area near Yin Tianchou's estate in Yueyang City and familiarize themselves with the surroundings

This was the first time participating in such matters, and Luo Yao only brought his ears, listening to them throughout without expressing any opinions

"Alright, don't wander too far, you must return before dark." Liu Jinbao thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. As the team leader, he actually had no authority over anyone; Luo Yao simply wanted to take a stroll, which was not an unreasonable request.

Gong Huimei suddenly looked up and turned around to glare at Liu Jinbao, saying, "You are the one with the problem!"

Let us first find a place to settle down said Man Cang, who was walking in the middle, with a composed and steady demeanor

I do not know about this; it is stated as such in the task, without any explanation provided" Liu Jinbao replied

"Luo Yao, thank you," Gong Hui said softly, walking up to Luo Yao, her cheeks slightly flushed.
