From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 124 - 110 Sniper Duel, Hunter and Prey

"Who accompanied Lin Zeyu outside?"

On the road, Lu Heng began to ask a few key questions.

"Wang Xiangfeng went with him, the boss said it was just to get something and there was no need for so many people," came the reply from the company manager over the communication channel.

Lu Heng continued, "Why did they need to get something so late? It's obviously past working hours."

It was now past nine o'clock in the evening. Normally, this was not the time to go fetching things.

"The accounts were only finished just before the end of work this afternoon, and Zhi Zhen said they could transfer the items tomorrow. However, the boss was anxious and insisted on getting it tonight to avoid any unforeseen problems."

Lu Heng pondered for a moment, then asked, "How many people knew he was going to fetch the item, and what it was?"

Throughout the entire conversation, Lu Heng never once mentioned the words "team contract."

From the few sentences exchanged just now, he had gleaned an important piece of information.

Lin Zeyu's decision to get the item that night was spontaneous, meaning it was not a premeditated trap but a sudden impulse.

Moreover, at this stage, there weren't many who could threaten Lin Zeyu, especially with someone like Wang Xiangfeng by his side.

This meant that the attackers could only be from some organization or power group.

And this force knew Lin Zeyu was going to retrieve the "team contract."

Lin Zeyu had only decided to get it that night.

From this, it could be inferred that there was an inside informant at Huan Yu Company passing messages to the attackers.

With over a thousand employees at Huan Yu Company, it wouldn't be surprising if one or two were bought off by other financial conglomerates or forces.

Now it was just a matter of seeing who knew Lin Zeyu was going to retrieve the "team contract" that night.

"This... When the boss called Wang Xiangfeng, many people in the company saw it, but it wasn't said what they were going for. Whether anyone guessed it or not, that's hard to say," the manager was uncertain.

After hearing this, Lu Heng knew that it was too late to catch the mole; the urgent priority was to find Lin Zeyu, and there would be time later to catch the mole.

Lu Heng gave it some thought, then asked, "Since Lin Zeyu was able to send a distress signal, he must have a locator on him, right?"

The manager said, "Yes, I'm currently monitoring it in the company's server room. The boss's location is inside Jiangbin Park, roughly around Wangjiang Pavilion."

Lu Heng then asked, "Is the location moving?"

The manager replied, "It hasn't moved for several minutes now."

Lu Heng turned to ask, "Mu Yu, has the reconnaissance eagle arrived?"

Su Muyu answered, "It's almost there. Jiangbin Park is already within sight. I see Lin Zeyu's car, it's crashed into the guardrail at the riverside road, and there's no one inside."

The reconnaissance eagle has enhanced vision capabilities, equivalent to having an eight-power scope, so flying high in the sky, it could observe the ground from a distance of three to four kilometers with ease.

Lu Heng started to assign tasks, "Good. Check around Jiangbin Park near Wangjiang Pavilion, see if there's any signal device used for location."

Su Muyu responded, "I can't see anything too small, but I see three people near Wangjiang Pavilion. They seem to be Superpower Users, looking for something."

Lu Heng furrowed his brow and asked, "Are they from Huan Yu?"

The manager replied, "No, our people haven't arrived yet."

Lu Heng's brow furrowed even deeper, "There's a mole in the server room, revoke the communication privileges of everyone in the company, just leave mine and Su Muyu's. Keep Lin Zeyu's and Wang Xiangfeng's communication privileges intact if they connect, I want to know immediately."

The Superpower Users searching at Wangjiang Pavilion were not from Huan Yu, so they could only be associated with the attackers.

And Lin Zeyu's location was pinpointed to Wangjiang Pavilion, information only known to those in the Huan Yu server room, meaning there was definitely a mole there.

"Alright. Quick! Do as Mr. Lu said, everyone in the server room, hand over all communication devices, nobody leaves this room!" The manager immediately arranged it.

Lu Heng thought for a moment and said, "Notify Iron Blood, with such a commotion happening in the city, they'll have to get involved."

The manager replied, "Okay. I'll inform the Iron Blood Investigation Bureau right away."

After a while.

Su Muyu's voice came through, "The reconnaissance eagle has reached Jiangbin Park near Wangjiang Pavilion. Those three found something in the bushes, a communicator. They're about to leave, should I stop them?"

Lu Heng immediately decided, "You can try, it's not necessary to stop them completely, just wound one of them."

Capturing an injured attacker could potentially provide more useful information after interrogation.

At this point, they didn't even know who the opponent was; everything was a guess and very reactive.

Moreover, Lin Zeyu had dropped his communicator in the bushes after sending out a distress signal.

This indicated he realized there was a mole in the company, so he disposed of the communicator since it could reveal his location.

If he discarded the communicator to prevent the attackers from tracking him, he must be hiding.

Just then.

A voice joined the communication channel, "Can you hear me? This is Wang Xiangfeng, I've hijacked a car and now I'm heading down from the third Coastal Bridge interchange, with three cars chasing me. Beware of snipers, there are snipers!"

Lu Heng quickly followed up, "Is Lin Zeyu in the car?"

Wang Xiangfeng replied breathlessly, "No."

Lu Heng asked, "Where is he? The communication channel has been cleared, only Su Muyu and I are left."

Wang Xiangfeng panted, "I don't know. The boss said there might be a mole in the company, then he threw away his communicator. He was hit by a stray bullet in the leg; he can't have gone far. I could only hijack a car and try to draw the attackers away first."
