Chapter 1700 - 855: Withdrawal

Chapter 1700: Chapter 855: Withdrawal

"Me? Alright! But I need Chen Bin to continue overseeing the operations headquarters, providing me with the most comprehensive intelligence!"

After a series of arrangements, they immediately sprang into action again. Unexpectedly, within two days, all the mobile broadcasters were captured, and upon questioning, they were found to be terrorists.

However, now, those escaped terrorists have mostly been summoned back. It’s just that the so-called "shoe factory" still hasn’t appeared.

"Actually, you don’t need to say more, I know you’re all people from Poisonous Snake. But now, you have a chance to obtain leniency, as long as you disclose everything you know, it’s considered a significant contribution. This is a feature of our country’s law, I hope you understand this principle!"

The head of the interrogation department knew the responsibility was significant and decided to take charge personally, hoping to get useful information from the mouths of these newly captured terrorists.

She realized these terrorists were not that simple.

Helplessly, she couldn’t find a breakthrough here.

Lin Beichen found that these people were a bunch of desperados.

"Everyone, the success of this operation will determine whether the sports meeting can proceed smoothly. So, I hope everyone can stay highly aligned with me to ensure the mission is completed perfectly!"

This time, Lin Beichen’s guess was indeed correct; Poisonous Snake did not continue to stay in the city.

He directly settled in a village, without making a fuss externally, as if he really intended to put down roots in the countryside.

However, indeed some villagers began to notice anomalies, as many unfamiliar faces suddenly emerged in the village, although they didn’t cause much impact, the longtime residents were not welcoming these "outsiders."

"We better not get involved in this matter, if we risk bringing trouble upon ourselves, it’ll be challenging to handle our ’affairs’ later!"

Poisonous Snake acted very cautiously, as newcomers, if discovered to be terrorists, no village would let them stay.

It was only because the landlord was blinded by money and directly collected their rent that they could settle in the village; otherwise, it would have been impossible. Moreover, the village head seemed to turn a blind eye.

The sudden appearance of these people broke the original tranquility of the village, causing some concern among the villagers.

"What do you think these people actually do? They never go to work in the fields, yet there’s constant in-and-out traffic, they seem quite wealthy."

"Yeah! But luckily, they don’t disturb us and are quite polite to us, so I don’t mind. If they plan to start a business in our village, maybe they could lead us to prosperity!"

"Don’t think that way, there’s no free lunch falling from the sky, I always feel something’s off, let’s observe for now, maybe we’re overthinking."

Everyone gathered, discussing animatedly.

"Alright!"

The village head couldn’t listen anymore.

"They’ve come, what else can we say? Everyone, don’t worry, if they’re indeed doing something illegal, we’ll just call the police, what’s there to fear?"

Though saying this, the village head still felt very nervous. If these people truly came with ill intentions, he would certainly be questioned, and he might not be able to keep his position as village head.

Thinking of this, the village head felt very uneasy, only able to reassure everyone initially, but for safety’s sake, he took his doubts to the newly rented house.

"I say, sir, you’ve been living here quite a while, people bring you food daily, but what exactly are you doing?"

Poisonous Snake merely smiled when seeing the village head.

"We are a group of small business people, newcomers not too familiar with the area. How come? Is someone gossiping behind our backs, thinking we’re not legitimate?"

Poisonous Snake deliberately said this, making the village head somewhat at a loss.

"Oh, I have no choice, I must ensure the villagers’ safety. You know, as the village head, if something happened to the village, I couldn’t bear the responsibility!"

"Haha!"

Poisonous Snake understood they couldn’t reveal their identity now.

"We are merely legitimate businesspeople, not wanting to root in the city. Now rural areas are developing well too; investing in your village might be a good choice!"

However, the village head always felt something was wrong. Investing in the village wasn’t inappropriate, but they were too ostentatious.

Constant in-and-out traffic, there seemed to be some disguise but couldn’t quite pinpoint it.

Returning home, the village head still couldn’t shake his unease after a drink, so directly went into the city the next day to the police bureau to explain the situation.

In the conference room, the village head was terrified, telling everyone what he saw and heard.

"I heard they’re doing jewelry business, but I’m puzzled; isn’t the jewelry business best done in the city? Why come to our village? We don’t have creeks or produce pearls, how do they plan to lead us to prosperity?"

The more the village head spoke, the more worried he became.

"Wait!"

Lin Beichen suddenly thought of a question.

"I remember, recently, a significant jewelry robbery occurred in some country, right?"

Upon hearing this, the village head immediately became nervous.

"Don’t scare me, my heart can’t take it."

"I’m not trying to scare you, but that robbery hasn’t been solved yet, perhaps there’s some connection to the situation here."

Lin Beichen had to clarify the message, but the village head worried even more because the house owner was him, while the tenant was merely a subletter profiting from the rent difference.
