My Stunning Beauty Special Agent Wife-Chapter 886 - 885: Black-Clad Temptress (3/3)

From previous tracking records, these two people have strong counter-surveillance skills and are adept in densely populated residential areas, making it nearly impossible to catch them.

With characteristics such as trap setting, Yang Chen is certain these people have definitely been at the border.

Yang Chen had dealt with people at the border before, and this feeling was all too familiar.

"Then it seems, you truly have a hard time catching them," Yang Chen said flatly.

Although these people had undergone systematic learning, their actual combat experience was minimal.

Those other guys lived life on the razor's edge at the border, adapting to various terrains for combat.

And these guys? Trained in school, learned from textbooks, with absolutely no real combat training experience.

"Not necessarily!" Gu Xijun said proudly, "I've already locked onto them today; I'm just bringing you along as a backup!"

"Oh, really?" Yang Chen smirked coldly.

From yesterday when Gu Xijun became a security assistant, Yang Chen could tell that Gu Xijun was still the same rebellious, impetuous self as before, likely having offended some people and ended up being penalized as a security assistant.

Gu Xijun looked a bit uncomfortable.

"How many people are involved in this operation?" Yang Chen asked.

Gu Xijun hesitated and couldn't speak.

Yang Chen sneered, "I suppose it's just the two of us?"

"I..." Gu Xijun's face turned red, speechless.

She didn't expect Yang Chen's keen eyes could see through her that easily.

Yang Chen smiled, not pursuing further, and said, "I can help you, but I need some intel, you'll have to provide it!"

"Alright! No problem!" Gu Xijun said excitedly, but then seemed to remember something and added, "Only within my authorization; I can't go beyond my level!"

Yang Chen smiled faintly, "Very simple."

They didn't say much else.

It was still early, so Gu Xijun drove Yang Chen to her apartment complex, switched to her private car, bought him a set of clothes, and they grabbed a quick bite at a small eatery.

Nine o'clock at night.

The two arrived at a street of bars and entered the Black Night Bar.

There weren't many people in the bar yet; the two found a corner seat and sat quietly waiting.

"Try to avoid making a move inside the bar. This place belongs to the Wu family; though their relationships are messy, the ones overseeing this place are indeed the Wu family." Gu Xijun said in a low voice.

Yang Chen slightly frowned and asked, "The Wu family? The one that prints in Ancheng?"

Gu Xijun gave Yang Chen a long look and nodded slightly, "You could say that."

Yang Chen frowned deeply, "What do you mean? What exactly is this Wu family about?"

Gu Xijun gave Yang Chen a deep glance, pondered for a moment with a frown, then said in a serious tone, "Wu family… in fact, our understanding of the Flame Country is far too limited. This Ancheng is not at all like the one we know, nor is it like the Flame Country we know at all!"

"What do you mean?" Yang Chen was even more puzzled.

Gu Xijun slightly shook her head, "You'll understand naturally once you really come into contact with it in the future. This Wu family isn't as simple as you imagine. They claim to be descendants of Wu Guang; think of the historical roots, imagine how much heritage they carry. On the surface, they run a printing business and dominate one region. But in truth, they have a broader array of businesses, like hotels, drinks, factories... they're into it all. Last year, the Wu family's assets were valued over ten billion, and it's estimated to reach a scale of a hundred billion this year. You can imagine how many resources they control and how powerful they are."

Yang Chen was stunned.

He had never expected the Wu family's industrial scale to be so vast.

Because overall, Ancheng's GDP had always been at the lower-middle level and couldn't really rank nationwide.

But he hadn't imagined that there was such a huge industry hidden within Ancheng.

An industry worth over tens of billions, ranking at the top domestically, but Yang Chen had never heard of it.

"This... how is it possible?" Yang Chen found it hard to believe.

Gu Xijun sneered, "That's why I say we know too little; what they hide far exceeds what we know!"

Yang Chen frowned slightly, still finding it hard to believe.

After all, with his status and skills, he was already someone standing at the top.

But now realizing that what he knew wasn't the ultimate truth, there was another layer of truth beyond his comprehension. How could that be believable?

So, Yang Chen was still in a state of half-belief.

Gradually, more people began to fill the bar.

At ten o'clock, the targets appeared.

A group of six walked into the bar, extremely generous with their spending, taking advantage of the girls selling drinks. However, those girls, under the generous tips from them, were not upset but appeared very pleased. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Gu Xijun said in a low voice to Yang Chen, "The two people leading, the one with the scar on the chin, is Old Second Hong, the one in a white shirt looks like an urban professional, nicknamed Smiling Ghost; mainly those two are the hardest to deal with!"

Yang Chen looked at them with his peripheral vision, noticing they went straight upstairs.

"Let's go to the second floor!" Yang Chen stood up, wanting to follow them.

But Gu Xijun shook her head, "No, the second floor is for VIPs only, we're not qualified."

Yang Chen frowned, "Is there a way to bluff our way through?"

Gu Xijun gave a bitter smile, "I told you, this place is under the control of the Wu family's people, the second floor mainly hosts internal members, there's no way to fake it; outsiders can't get a membership."

Yang Chen slightly frowned, watching the group enter a room on the second floor.

"What do you plan to do?" After all, it was Gu Xijun's case, and he didn't want to interfere too much.

But if Gu Xijun said to just rush in and take them down, Yang Chen had no objections.

Gu Xijun said seriously, "Wait!"

Yang Chen shrugged, leaning back on the sofa, waiting patiently.

During this time, quite a few people came by wanting to flirt with Gu Xijun, but a single glare from Yang Chen sent them scurrying away.

For the first time, Gu Xijun didn't have to worry about being harassed.

Suddenly, she felt a sense of being protected.

This feeling was something she had never experienced before.

It felt wonderful, safe…

All of a sudden, there was a ruckus on the second floor.

Bam!

The door shattered, and a figure was thrown into the hallway.

Everyone on the first floor was startled and looked up.

Yang Chen also stood up and saw several people being thrown out; it was those six!

The six seemed to have witnessed something terrifying, scrambling to crawl away.

The people inside came out in a grand procession, all dressed in black, standing along both sides of the hallway, as if waiting to receive someone coming out.

Once the people outside had stood still, a young man came out with a fawning smile towards the inside.

Being welcomed by this young man, a woman with a tall figure, dressed in a black robe, stepped out.

Her side profile showed a tall figure, voluptuous and perfectly shaped.

However, a layer of black gauze covered her face, obscuring her facial features.

Perhaps others couldn't see, but Yang Chen only needed to see those eyes to know who this person was!

"Ye Xin!" Yang Chen suddenly stood up and rushed towards the second floor.

Gu Xijun widened her eyes, wanting to stop him, but it was too late!
