Inside Xu Weiwei's apartment!
The two had returned.
Ye Cangtian lay on the sofa, smoking, while Xu Weiwei fiddled with the receiver on the coffee table, surrounded by a pile of unused pinhole cameras and other equipment.
"Although we've overheard some things, I didn't expect them to stop the transaction in the end!"
"If only we had installed surveillance equipment! Then, even if they didn't stop the transaction, we could have captured some solid evidence!"
Xu Weiwei listened to the intercepted conversation again, feeling a sense of regret. She looked up at Ye Cangtian, frowning, "Hey, can you stop smoking in my room?"
Ye Cangtian didn't put out his cigarette. Instead, he smiled and changed the subject, "It's already lucky that you managed to hide the bug under their noses."
Still thinking about installing cameras? You might have been discovered back then!
Xu Weiwei nodded; she was just expressing her thoughts.
However, overhearing some important information now was at least of great help to the case.
Especially that smuggler known as Mr. Jin. Even though the transaction was paused, the man should still be near Yangzhou. If they could capture him, it would be a sensational case.
Xu Weiwei had previously investigated this smuggler, 'Mr. Jin,' because he was frequently active along the coastal areas within the country. Police forces from various coastal regions wanted to apprehend him, but he was very cunning, and they had never succeeded.
However, Yangzhou was so vast, and he might be hiding somewhere. Finding his whereabouts would be difficult.
Ye Cangtian couldn't help but remind her, "I suggest we check the ships along the coast! As long as he hasn't left, he's likely on a ship."
"Why are you so sure he wouldn't be in the city center?" Xu Weiwei asked curiously.
"Think about it. A cunning businessman like him would definitely be highly vigilant. There are people from the underworld in the city center. Wouldn't he worry about being double-crossed? Or being scammed by the underworld?" Ye Cangtian said as a matter of course.
He understood these smugglers best. To put it bluntly, these guys operated among various factions, and without vigilance, they wouldn't have survived this long.
These people only cared about profit. Apart from their own people, they generally didn't trust any faction.
Upon hearing Ye Cangtian's analysis, Xu Weiwei's eyes lit up. There was indeed a possibility.
She glanced at Ye Cangtian strangely, raising an eyebrow, "You understand their thoughts so well, could it be that you've also engaged in such illegal activities?"
"..." Ye Cangtian rolled his eyes.
I'm helping you analyze the case, and you're suspecting me? This is just unbelievable!
Seeing his helpless expression, Xu Weiwei couldn't help but laugh. She said, "Alright, go back to your own place. I need to wash up and go to sleep!"
Ye Cangtian blinked and smiled, "How about I just make do tonight and stay here? The people from Tyrannosaurus Rex probably figured out your identity. What if they try to assassinate you tonight?"
Xu Weiwei gave him a glare, "Stop scaring me. You pervert, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Hurry back. No matter how audacious they are, they wouldn't dare to deal with the police."
Did this guy develop some intentions towards her after hearing something inappropriate in the bar's restroom tonight?
Shameless! Scoundrel!
Xu Weiwei's pretty face flushed slightly as she kicked Ye Cangtian out.
They were, after all, neighbors living directly opposite each other!
Ye Cangtian took out his key and opened his apartment door. He had just spoken casually. Even if the Tyrannosaurus Rex guy was lawless, at most he would do some ruthless things on his own turf.
As for sending people to assassinate Xu Weiwei? He believed the other party wouldn't dare!
Of course, he might not have realized that Tyrannosaurus Rex actually harbored murderous intent towards Xu Weiwei.
...
Late at night!
As the clock struck one in the morning, the entire apartment complex fell into silence.
It was very late at this hour. Except for the lights still on in one or two households within the complex, almost everyone had already fallen asleep.
Ye Cangtian's eyes suddenly snapped open in his sleep!
He had developed a habit over the years. Even when asleep, any slight rustle of leaves or movement would automatically enter his perception.
And at this moment, he had a peculiar feeling of impending danger.
Without turning on the lights, he moved to the window by the moonlight, observing the situation in the complex.
The lighting in the complex was dim, a characteristic of many old residential areas.
And at this moment, the normally quiet complex showed several furtive figures in Ye Cangtian's sight, stealthily approaching their building.
It wasn't just these few people. Ye Cangtian also saw people stealthily climbing over the complex's perimeter wall.
Thieves?
Clearly not! Since when do thieves come in groups?
So Ye Cangtian immediately thought of the people from Tyrannosaurus Rex. Besides them, he couldn't think of any other identity for these guys.
He gasped, truly not expecting Tyrannosaurus Rex to be so arrogant as to actually plan revenge against the police!
"Xu Weiwei is in danger!"
Ye Cangtian saw that at least a dozen people had successively entered their apartment building, and there were still figures keeping watch in various parts of the complex, which immediately made his expression solemn.
He went to the balcony. It was only a little over a meter away from Xu Weiwei's balcony, so he easily leaped over.
Xu Weiwei had already fallen asleep. Her bedroom door was not locked, as she was home alone.
Ye Cangtian pushed the door open with ease and slipped into her bedroom.
The entire bedroom smelled nice, like many girls' rooms. Even though Xu Weiwei had a carefree personality, she was still a woman after all.
Although the lights were off, Ye Cangtian could still see Xu Weiwei lying on the bed, breathing evenly.
However, her sleeping posture was somewhat unbearable. The quilt had been kicked aside. If she hadn't been wearing pajamas, Ye Cangtian might have had a feast for his eyes.
Ye Cangtian slowly approached the bedside and reached out towards her.
He actually wanted to wake Xu Weiwei up, but as soon as he reached out, she suddenly opened her eyes and was about to cry out.
Ye Cangtian reacted quickly and quickly covered her mouth.
After all, those people had already entered their building and might be at the door now. Making a sound at this moment would likely alert them.
"Mmm..." Xu Weiwei's eyes widened, and she let out a muffled sound, trying to struggle.
"It's Ye Cangtian! Don't make a sound!"
"Mmm..."
Xu Weiwei stared at him with indignant eyes. Of course, she knew it was Ye Cangtian, but was he allowed to sneak into her bedroom and not allow her to make a sound?
She was a little angry at the moment. This guy really had ill intentions towards her. Was he trying to force himself on her?
Seeing her glare at him, Ye Cangtian knew she had misunderstood him. He quickly coughed and said, "What's with that look? I'm not the kind of person you think I am. Can you please not make a sound? Also, could you put away your gun? This thing might go off!" Sudan Novel Network
He felt a bit frustrated! This girl actually carried a gun even while sleeping, and it was currently pressed against his chest.
Xu Weiwei continued to stare at him, her eyes blazing.
Ye Cangtian said helplessly, "How about this, I'll take my hand away, and you promise not to make a sound, alright? The Tyrannosaurus Rex people are already outside the door. They might be here to assassinate you!"
