Chapter 529: On the Eve of the Operation Plan
Qi Tongwei successfully got a lot of inside information from the bearded thug.
Under the influence of alcohol, the bearded thug opened his heart to Qi Tongwei and told him everything he knew.
Qi Tongwei calmly guided the conversation and skillfully found out all the channels and routes of their transactions.
The bearded thug had a dazed look in his eyes, with a look of regret on his face. He sighed heavily and said, "Oh, what a pity. Before, Aaron had taken the Xia Country route, and that was really a huge profit."
"Aaron has connections and means in Xia Country. Those channels are like the golden avenue he opened up with his own hands."
“Every time I take this route, I can make a lot of money.”
"He always managed to cleverly avoid the police's sight, transport the 'goods' safely, and then get the money back safely."
As he spoke, he shook his head, as if recalling the "glory" of the past.
"When Aaron is here, we don't have to worry about what's happening in Xia Country. We just have to wait to collect the money."
"But now he's gone, and the line is like a kite with a broken string, it has no direction."
"Although we also want to continue doing business in Xia Country, without Aaron, we feel like we have lost our backbone."
The bearded thug picked up the wine glass, took another sip, and continued, "The inspections in Xia Country are getting stricter and stricter. Without someone like Aaron who is familiar with the situation at the front, it will be difficult for us to operate as smoothly as before."
"Besides, it's so hard to find someone you can trust like Aaron."
"We are all worried that we may not be able to come across such a good deal in the future."
Qi Tongwei's heart moved, he knew this was a great opportunity.
Without hesitation, he struck while the iron was hot and said, "Who said the connection with Xia Country is broken? If you don't have anyone else you can trust, I can take on this important task."
Qi Tongwei straightened up.
"Brother, although I'm not as good as Aaron, I also have my advantages."
"I also have some connections in Xia Country. Although not many, they are enough."
"Besides, I am a cautious person and will never cause trouble to anyone."
As he spoke, he observed the expression of the bearded thug.
"I know how important this line is to everyone, and I want to make money with everyone."
"If you trust me and give me a chance, I will definitely let everyone see my ability."
When the bearded thug heard Qi Tongwei's words, his eyes narrowed slightly and he looked Qi Tongwei up and down.
There was a hint of doubt and some excitement in his eyes.
After all, if Qi Tongwei can really take on this burden, it will be a good thing for them.
However, he did not dare to trust Qi Tongwei easily, after all, this was related to the interests of the entire gang.
Qi Tongwei noticed the bearded thug's hesitation and continued, "Brother, you can observe me first."
"I can make some small attempts first to show you what I can do."
"If I don't do well, it's not too late for you to kick me out."
The bearded thug pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded and said, "Okay, kid."
"You do have some truth in what you say."
"However, this is no small matter. I still need to discuss it with the other brothers."
"Let me see your sincerity first."
Qi Tongwei was secretly happy, he knew that he had successfully taken the first step.
He nodded quickly and said, "Brother, don't worry. I will definitely let you see my sincerity."
The bearded thug looked at Qi Tongwei with drunken eyes, a drunken smile on his lips. Just as he was about to speak, his body suddenly tilted and he fainted on the table with a thud.
The wine glass slipped from his hand and shattered on the ground, spilling the wine everywhere.
Qi Tongwei reluctantly put down the wine glass in his hand. The drunken look he had when drinking with the bearded thug just now disappeared instantly, and his eyes instantly became clear again.
He frowned at the unconscious bearded thug and muttered, "Damn, I drank too much. It really delayed things."
Qi Tongwei stood up, straightened his clothes, and left quietly.
He walked straight towards the small dark room, worried about the safety of the four special forces soldiers.
When he arrived near the small dark room, Qi Tongwei found a secluded corner to hide in, and then activated his "Eagle Eye Skill".
This skill was like an invisible ray of light that penetrated the wall of the small dark room and presented the situation inside clearly before his eyes.
He saw four special forces soldiers sitting in a small dark room. Although they were in trouble, they all looked in good condition.
They showed no panic or fear at all.
One of the special forces soldiers seemed to be saying something to the others, and he gestured from time to time, as if he was making some plan.
However, when Qi Tongwei's gaze shifted to the other side of the small dark room, his brows furrowed tightly. He saw two other abducted people lying in the corner, covered in bruises, their vital signs extremely unstable.
Their bodies were covered with scars, some of which were still bleeding, and their faces were as pale as paper.
They breathed weakly, and each breath seemed to use up all their strength.
Suddenly, Qi Tongwei saw a half-dead man lying on the ground. The man was in tattered clothes, with bruises all over his face.
His body curled up and twitched from time to time.
Qi Tongwei sneered in his heart: "If you dare to provoke them, you will die."
He knew that this man must have tried to harm the special forces before and was taught a lesson by them.
Qi Tongwei secretly felt fortunate that these four special forces soldiers all had strong skills and could protect themselves in such an environment and teach those who wanted to bully them a lesson.
However, he also knew that now was not the time to relax. He had to find a way to rescue them as soon as possible, and at the same time rescue those abducted people and destroy this evil den.
Qi Tongwei squatted down gently outside the door, scanning the surroundings vigilantly. After making sure there was nothing unusual, he stretched out his fingers and knocked twice rhythmically on the floor outside the door.
The slight knocking sound was particularly clear in the quiet corridor of the small dark room.
The special forces in the room became alert instantly. They looked at each other, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.
Then they quickly and silently got up.
Because the light in the small dark room was dim, they could only rely on their memory and feeling to carefully grope their way towards the door.
Qi Tongwei listened attentively to the movements in the house. When he heard the subtle sounds of the special forces approaching the door, he began to knock on the floor with a unique rhythmic frequency to convey information.
Every tap of his fingers holds a specific meaning.
He first knocked a few times slowly and rhythmically to confirm his identity and let the special forces know that it was him.
Then he quickened the pace of his tapping, using rhythms of varying lengths to form a simple code, telling them that he already had a detailed plan.
To ensure the accuracy of the information, he also repeated the key parts.
The special forces soldiers in the house listened attentively, their ears pressed to the ground, afraid of missing any beat.
When they understood the general message that Qi Tongwei conveyed, several people looked at each other tacitly, and then one of them, on behalf of everyone, patted the floor in the same rhythmic way to indicate that they understood.
After hearing the response from inside the house, Qi Tongwei knocked gently a few more times, as if to give them the final comfort and encouragement, and then quietly stood up, ready to implement his plan.
He knew that every step was crucial now and he had to act with caution in order to successfully rescue these trapped special forces and abducted people.
Relying on his previous investigation, Qi Tongwei quickly found the location of the monitoring room.
He stood outside the monitoring room, took a deep breath, and calmed himself down.
Then he took out a small tool from his body and gently pried open the door lock of the monitoring room.
The door was slowly pushed open and he slipped in sideways.
Inside the monitoring room, lights on various devices flashed, and the screens displayed images from every corner of the base.
Qi Tongwei quickly scanned the room and found the intricate wiring.
He reached out without hesitation and precisely cut off a key line.
In an instant, the screens in the monitoring room flickered and then went black.
The people in the room were so frightened by this sudden change that they stood up in panic.
"what happened?"
One person opened his eyes wide, his face full of fear and confusion.
"Why did the screen suddenly go black? Is there something wrong with the device?"
The other man spoke as he frantically fiddled with the various buttons on the console.
“Is it a wiring problem?”
Someone else put forward his own guess, with a hint of uneasiness in his voice.
Everyone was talking at once, and then half of the people in the house went out. They hurried out to check the lines, wanting to restore the surveillance as soon as possible.
At this time, there were only three people left in the monitoring room.
Qi Tongwei seized the opportunity and quickly carried out his next plan.
He reached out again and deftly connected a circuit.
Because he changed the way the circuit was connected, excessive current instantly flowed into a display screen.
The display screen was like a detonated bomb, exploding with a loud bang.
The impact of the explosion caused the equipment in the room to shake, and billowing black smoke spewed out from the exploded display screen, instantly filling the entire monitoring room.
The room suddenly became chaotic. The three men were choked by the black smoke and were coughing non-stop. They shouted their companions' names while groping in the black smoke, trying to find an exit or control the situation.
In the midst of this chaos, Qi Tongwei walked in quietly.
His eyes remained sharp in the black smoke and quickly locked onto a computer.
He took out a hard drive that had been prepared long ago from his pocket and skillfully inserted it into the computer.
Then, he quickly reconnected the circuit that had been cut.
The moment the computer was turned on, the program that Qi Tongwei had previously implanted began to run automatically, and all the monitoring files were automatically copied to Qi Tongwei's hard drive.
Qi Tongwei's eyes were fixed on the jumping progress bar on the computer screen, and he prayed silently in his heart that no accidents would occur.
While copying the files, he was always alert to the movements around him, and was ready to hide at any time if someone approached.
Finally, the file copy was complete. Qi Tongwei quickly removed the hard drive and carefully placed it back in his arms.
At this moment, he heard the footsteps of those who had gone out to check the lines coming back.
He slipped out of the monitoring room quietly while the black smoke was still there.
After Qi Tongwei left the monitoring room, he quickly found a hidden place, took out a special communication device, and connected the hard drive to it.
He operated the equipment skillfully, encrypted the surveillance file he had just obtained, and sent it to Hao Shizhong.
He knew that these documents contained a lot of key information about the criminal gang and were crucial to destroying the gang.
After the sending was completed, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he also knew that the next action would be the real challenge.
After receiving the news from Qi Tongwei, Hao Shizhong realized the urgency and seriousness of the matter.
He immediately summoned all relevant personnel to hold an emergency operational planning meeting in a spacious and bright conference room.
The conference room was filled with a tense atmosphere. Everyone had serious expressions and their eyes were focused on Hao Shizhong.
Hao Shizhong stood in front of the large screen at the front of the conference room, holding an electronic pointer in his hand, and was about to begin explaining in detail the preliminary battle plan based on the intelligence provided by Qi Tongwei.
"Comrades, we now have key information about the lair of this human trafficking organization. This is a golden opportunity. We must plan carefully to ensure that this evil den is wiped out in one fell swoop."
However, at this moment, something was wrong with Sister Qu's condition.
She was originally sitting in a chair, her eyes fixed on the meeting materials in front of her, but her eyes were a little empty, as if she was lost in deep memories.
As Hao Shizhong continued speaking, Sister Qu's body began to tremble slightly. Her hands were clenched into fists, and her knuckles turned white from the force.
When Hao Shizhong mentioned the need to analyze the surveillance footage, Sister Qu seemed to be suddenly struck by something. She stood up abruptly, completely ignoring the fact that this was an important meeting in progress.
Her eyes were bloodshot, and her voice was trembling and anxious: "Wait a moment, let the technicians zoom in on a certain picture."
Her words broke the originally serious and orderly atmosphere in the meeting room, and everyone looked at her in surprise.
Hao Shizhong frowned slightly, but seeing Sister Qu's excited expression, he nodded and signaled the technicians to do as Sister Qu asked.
The technicians quickly operated the equipment, and the images on the big screen began to switch and enlarge.
Sister Qu stared at the screen without blinking, her breathing becoming rapid. When the image gradually became clear and the man's face appeared on the screen in its entirety, Sister Qu seemed to have suffered a huge blow. Her body shook and she burst into tears.
Her crying echoed in the quiet conference room. Her tears kept rolling down like beads from a broken string. Her lips trembled, as if she wanted to say something, but her throat was choked by grief.
Her hands hung limply at her sides, as if she had lost her support.
Everyone else in the conference room was confused by Sister Qu's reaction, but they could also feel how deep her pain was. Everyone looked at her silently, waiting for her emotions to calm down a little so that they could figure out what had happened.
