Chapter 735: Chapter 444: Change of Strategy, Danger Approaches

"Huh?" Chen Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment. Once she’d collected herself, she said to Wang Hao, "You haven’t fully recovered yet, have you? Isn’t it a bit too rushed to go after her today?"

Wang Hao smiled and explained to Chen Xiaoyan, "By this evening, I’ll be mostly recovered."

"While I may not be back at my full Second Order High Rank strength, dealing with a Tier One Peak target who’s going to surrender without a fight will be a piece of cake. There’s no need to put it off until tomorrow."

"That’s true. With your level of power, dealing with that young man Lin will be effortless. Besides, once we have his girlfriend, his hands will be tied. He’ll have no choice but to do as we say," Chen Xiaoyan said with a chuckle.

"Have Zhu Daqi start tailing the woman named Su Yue now. We’ll meet up with him later this evening," Wang Hao said.

"Mm," Chen Xiaoyan responded softly, then picked up her phone to call Zhu Daqi.

Zhu Daqi was driving toward the neighborhood where Lin Li lived when his phone started ringing in his pocket. He slowed down, pulled out the phone, and saw it was Chen Xiaoyan, whom he had just spoken with a short while ago. He quickly answered the call.

"Yan."

"Zhu Daqi, Wang Hao and I discussed it, and we’ve decided to change the plan. I need you to tail someone else now."

"Huh?" Zhu Daqi was taken aback to hear Chen Xiaoyan say the plan was changing and that he had to tail someone else.

"What ’huh’? Just do as I say. The target this time is an ordinary person. It’ll be very simple..." Chen Xiaoyan said.

"Yan, who do you want me to tail?" Zhu Daqi’s expression soured. Tailing Lin Li these past few days, working from dawn till dusk, had been sheer misery. ’To be honest, I really don’t want to do this anymore,’ he thought.

Chen Xiaoyan ignored the weary tone in Zhu Daqi’s voice and instead explained the situation with Su Yue, the woman he was now supposed to follow.

Zhu Daqi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Chen Xiaoyan’s explanation. Tailing that beautiful woman he had seen before—and an ordinary person at that—would indeed be very simple.

"Alright, Yan, leave it to me! I’ll keep a close eye on her..." Zhu Daqi assured Chen Xiaoyan.

"You need to do this right. Wang Hao and I will come find you in the evening."

"You won’t need to be involved in what comes next. You can go home and get some proper rest," Chen Xiaoyan said.

Hearing this, Zhu Daqi’s eyes immediately lit up.

He knew that what Chen Xiaoyan said meant that after he was done tailing the beautiful woman today, his surveillance mission would basically be over.

"Yan, after this is over, you have to keep your promise!"

When Xiaoyan heard Zhu Daqi bring up her earlier promise to have dinner and see a movie with him, a contemptuous expression flickered across her face. However, when she spoke, her voice was incredibly gentle.

"Don’t worry! I’ll keep my promise to you. You’ve worked hard on this surveillance job. Once you’ve rested for a few days and recovered your energy, we’ll go for that dinner and a movie."

Zhu Daqi completely bought Chen Xiaoyan’s empty promise.

Zhu Daqi grew incredibly excited. After hanging up, as if he’d gotten a shot of adrenaline, he slammed on the gas, greatly increasing his speed as he raced toward Rongxi Primary School.

After ending the call with Zhu Daqi, Chen Xiaoyan put her phone away and said to Wang Hao, "It’s all arranged. Zhu Daqi will keep a close eye on that woman, Su Yue."

"This evening, once you’re mostly recovered, we’ll go meet up with him. He won’t have to be involved in what happens next."

Wang Hao didn’t object. He knew that Zhu Daqi was, at the end of the day, just an ordinary hoodlum. He was fine for surveillance tasks, but a kidnapping was beyond his capabilities. The actual operation needed to be handled by people from their Heilin Society—they were the professionals.

...

Time passed in a flash.

The sun arced across the sky, and soon dusk began to fall.

The sunset deepened from light to dark, from pale to rich, painting more than half the sky crimson.

The streetlights on both sides of the road flickered on, a step ahead of the setting sun.

Their dim yellow light cast out, ready to illuminate the way for pedestrians after nightfall.

During the evening rush hour, long lines of cars clogged the streets.

The congestion forced the vehicles to crawl forward at a snail’s pace.

The primary school had let out, but parents were still stuck in traffic.

Eager to pick up their children without making them wait too long, these parents glanced anxiously at the time on their phones.

The traffic light at the intersection ahead turned green. The crowd waiting on either side of the road saw their chance and surged forward like an opened floodgate, heading for the opposite side.

A taxi pulled over to the side of the road.

The door opened, and a stunningly beautiful woman stepped out. She wore a black business suit, her ample bust stretching the collar of her blouse taut. Her figure was so good it was practically criminal.

After Su Yue paid the fare and got out, the pedestrians who had just crossed the intersection ahead of her all turned their heads in unison, their eyes locking onto her.

As if caught in a spotlight, Su Yue moved, and the gazes of the passersby followed her every step.

The onlookers watched the dazzlingly beautiful woman walk away until she was just a faint, blurry silhouette in the distance. Only then did they reluctantly tear their eyes away.

Many of them, however, continued toward the bus stop ahead, muttering indistinct phrases like "so beautiful."

After getting off work, Su Yue didn’t ride her little white scooter home from school. Instead, she hailed a taxi at the school gate.

Something had felt strange with her body when she left home that morning, so she had decided to get a full check-up at a private hospital in the city after work. The hospital was quite far from the school, and taking her scooter would have been inconvenient, so she opted for a taxi.

The radiant Su Yue swayed gracefully as she walked toward the private hospital ahead. After entering through the main doors, she approached the reception desk, where a young woman in a nurse’s uniform smiled and asked her a question.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

"I’d like to get a full physical," Su Yue said to the nurse, pulling a black VIP card from her purse and handing it over.

The nurse, who had been smiling, looked surprised when she saw the black VIP card Su Yue handed her.

The black VIP card was the private hospital’s most exclusive membership card. There weren’t many of them, and holders were entitled to the highest and most preferential level of service.

BEEP...

The nurse took the black VIP card from Su Yue and swiped it through the card reader.

Some basic information appeared on the computer screen. After quickly scanning the details, her attitude became even more enthusiastic than before.

"Miss Su, if you could please wait just two or three minutes, I’ll arrange for a doctor to give you a comprehensive examination right away..."

"Alright. Thank you."

"Not at all, Miss Su. It’s my pleasure..."

The nurse attended to Su Yue enthusiastically. Just as she had promised, in less than three minutes, a middle-aged woman in a white coat and gold-rimmed glasses arrived at the reception desk, accompanied by two other nurses.

"Hello, Miss Su. Please come with me." The moment the female doctor saw Su Yue’s radiant beauty, even she, a woman, couldn’t help but reveal a look of astonishment.

Then, just like the nurse at the reception desk, she enthusiastically led Su Yue toward the examination room.
