Chapter 17: Casting the Net
Hilton's third-floor cafΓ©.
"Hah! I'm late! Fang Wei laughed loudly at Qiu Ling and Hedy, who were sitting side by side.
Qiu Ling chose a table that was secluded but directly opposite the door of the store. Based on her understanding of this group of people in the morning meeting, she knew that the members of the security team would not be present together, and Fang Weimali naturally chose a position to sit down next to Qiu Ling, which was also expected by her.
Qiu Ling smiled politely: "It's me and Hedy who arrived early." β
"You...... You ......" Fang Wei stared at the two of them with a strange expression.
"Yes, we're old friends." Qiu Ling seemed to be smiling, as if asking Fang Wei to figure out her meaning.
Fang Wei "suddenly realized".
No wonder the police information is completely transparent to the phantom, and no wonder Shen Tianli is a monkey in a daze. Thinking of this, Fang Wei forcibly endured the smug look.
"Sister Hedy, this is the makeup powder I promised you to make last time, you can see if it is suitable for you." Qiu Ling took out an elegant celadon glazed ladies picture powder box, and once the glazed lid with gold filigree was pried open, the full seat immediately seemed to be overflowing with the mellow fragrance of hosta flowers.
Fang Wei was completely attracted by these masterpieces.
"Do you still need to try? Even if it's poisonous, I'm going to use it! Hedy said excitedly, carefully pasting the delicate powder with the tender yellow pattern on the fingertips, scratching a few strokes, gently rubbing the powder on the back of his hand, and breathing greedily.
Hedy: "Qiu Ling, thank you so much. β
Qiu Ling: "You're welcome, this is something you should thank." β
HedyοΌβ.... What the hell"
Qiu Ling: "Hahahaha. β
"Miss Phantom......" Before the two of them could finish laughing, Fang Wei had already interrupted and said, "You incense powder...... Is that good, but it's not a hassle to do? β
"The process is complicated, Director Fang wants to learn the craft?" Ling Chen smiled.
"It's a joke." Fang Wei sneered a little, "It's presumptuous, but it's ...... If you have more than one...... Can you send me some, I want to help...... Kindness...... It's ...... me."
"Oh, your daughter?" Qiu Ling saw him sweating faintly, and asked.
"Yes, yes." Fang Wei responded again and again, slightly embarrassed, "My daughter, I want to ......"
"Absolutely." Qiu Ling took out another box of incense powder that he had already prepared, handed it to him and said with a smile: "I still have this, better, the secret formula, the aroma is very light, if there is none, the girl likes it the most." β
"Thank you, thank you......" Fang Wei still took it with a sneer.
"Director Fang, they're there!" Huang Long's voice came from the door, and Lin Yuan followed behind and greeted them.
Fang Wei hurriedly put the powder box in his pocket and beckoned to them. A few meters away from the gate, members of other security teams and special investigation teams also arrived sporadically.
Hedy beckoned a waiter and deftly called for refreshments, apparently already a regular customer.
Huang Long handed a stack of materials to Qiu Ling across the table, instead of walking to Qiu Ling's side, as if he wanted everyone to notice his next move: "Miss Phantom, this is the information I collected from my personal computer at noon, about Chaos' criminal records over the years, as well as groups and individuals who have been intimidated and harassed by the Chaos Organization, as well as three relatively credible versions of the establishment and origin of the Chaos Organization, including the virtual backgrounds of some members, real backgrounds, I even ......"
"You even found Edward Norton Laurenci [Edward Norton Laurenci: Founder of Chaos Theory. How many times did my father's aunt's second brother-in-law suffer from typhoid fever, didn't he? Qiu Ling shook his head and smiled, "Rainble, there are many people who want to steal the jobs of your special investigation team, and I will remind Director Shen to be careful later." β
Errible took a sip of milk tea, but didn't say a word. Lin Yuan looked at Huang Long coldly.
Since Lin Yuan's preparation was taken advantage of by the referee to boast about it, he was displeased, and he flattered himself to make an exaggerated information to overshadow others.
Qiu Ling knew that he had to mingle with every member of the security team, but he didn't bother to negotiate with people like Huang Long.
Fang Wei's eyes were full of anger, making Huang Long, who was unaware of his overdoing behavior, also at a loss. Fang Wei was glad that the people of the special investigation team did not take the opportunity to make things difficult, if someone said something ridiculous at this time, "Director Fang teaches well", he really wanted to stuff Huang Long into the big juicer on the bar and squeeze it.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Qiu Ling had to say: "It's leisure time, let's not talk about business first." Thank you, Brother Huanglong, for your hard work. He put the information in his handbag.
Fang Wei snorted.
Hedy: "Chu Ling, please popularize science, who is Edward Norton?" β
Qiu Ling: "Founder of Chaos Theory." β
The two of them asked and answered, and realized that something was wrong, and sure enough, everyone present looked at Huang Long intentionally or unintentionally, and they were embarrassed on the table.
Fortunately, the arrival of Shen Tianli at this moment made everyone sigh strangely.
Qiu Ling was also stunned when he saw Shen Tianli, but he immediately calmed down and said with a smile: "Summer has just arrived, Shen Tianli is so cool!" β
The people on Fang Wei's side all laughed when they heard this.
Hedy: "Director Shen, are you injured?" β
Shen Tianli was angry: "Yes, how do you know?" β
As soon as the witty words came out, even the people in the security team were laughed at by his humor, and they were instantly relieved of their embarrassment.
Shen Tianli took the clothes that Rainble brought on the phone and walked towards the bathroom. Only then did everyone see that not only the clothes in front of him were ragged at the shoulder sleeves, but the shirt on the back was broken from the neck and shoulders, and the red marks caused by sharp weapons could be faintly visible on the exposed back.
"What happened to Director Shen?" Hedy asked Rainble anxiously.
Rainble spread his hands, apparently unexpected, and even he didn't have time to know.
Qiu Ling smiled at his side and said, "Be serious! In a free society, respect the clothing preferences of others. β
Fang Wei and the others couldn't help laughing, Qiu Ling was apprehensive, and by looking for the foreman to see the new coffee, he walked up to the secluded screen seat on the second floor, and broadcast Shen Tianli's mobile phone.
"Don't ask me, I don't know." Shen Tianli understated.
"But how many can be found, isn't it?" Qiu Ling suppressed his voice.
Shen Tianli recounted the beginning and end in detail and asked, "What do you think?" β
Chu Ling suddenly felt entangled: "It stands to reason that Chaos has the last move, and there should be no need to do such a sophisticated sneak attack again, but if it weren't for their hands, things would be even more complicated." β
Shen Tianli sighed: "I am also afraid of this, a chaos has made the action extremely alarming. β
Qiu Ling: "I'll ask Major Qi to investigate." β
"It's such a boring way that it makes me feel like I'm thinking of someone." Shen Tianli was headless and thoughtless, "I hope I'm suspicious." β
"Of course not. Today, our situation is more complex and we should be cautious. If those people were from another force, the game might have to be split into two games. Qiu Ling said calmly, such a calm tone made Shen Tianli also have some positive influences, at least he was not alone.
Shen Tianli said, "How's your progress there?" β
"Nothing has progressed."
"Be careful yourself." Shen Tianli said solemnly, "Our understanding of 'chaos' is really chaotic so far. β
Qiu Ling let out a "grace", and his expression was abrupt.
"Let's go." Shen Tian left the road.
Qiu Ling: "Well, you go first." β
She pressed the hang-up button, and the only red button on the mobile phone keyboard was like a flashing red light, jumping frequently in her heart, and she was like an illegal sports car parked in the middle of the road, gradually losing her bearings.
She quickly turned her mind and made up her mind to dial a new set of numbers.
"Pick up C306."
Within half a minute, Bell Lin's eager voice rang on the other end of the phone: "Qiu Ling, how are these two days?" β
"Of course!" Qiu Ling laughed loudly, "Of course it's good! You guys have done a really good job, I've spent so many tricks, but I've never seen Shen Tianli so embarrassed! β
"What do you mean?" Bell Lin wondered.
Qiu Ling keenly heard Bell Lin hear a coquettish laugh of "hehe" close to him.
The sound was so familiar that she shuddered and forgot where she was.
"It's nothing ......," Qiu Ling said. Is Bell Lim's doubts true or false? It seems that next time the Ministry of Defense will invent another headset that can detect thoughts, Qiu Ling thought to himself.
"Would you like to meet tonight? I got the exact parameters of the yacht and I think we should agree on a plan as soon as possible. The latter is Qiu Ling's true thoughts, not only does she need to accurately calculate everything after the departure, but she also needs to return to chaos and shovel out a Go that should not appear on the chess board in advance. As for the former, she believes that Bell Lim and they have already had the yacht specs since the meeting.
Bell Lin thought for a moment: "No problem, He Yulin will be waiting on time at eight o'clock in the evening wherever you agree." β
At this point, there is no way back. After it is done, or if it fails, how will Chaos and her end? It is naturally impossible to be honest with a high-level criminal organization, and in the end, she is likely to get nothing, but she has to be at the mercy of chaos from now on. For the first time, she felt that her competitive spirit was ruthlessly extinguished by a basin of cold water, but at present, she was more concerned about Shen Tianli's safety. No matter whether her choice is right or wrong, she does not want to let the people around her be implicated.
Qiu Ling sighed and pulled back the screen. There was a man standing against the screen, presumably standing for a long time.
When Qiu Ling saw this person clearly, he asked, "I'm sorry, are you?" β
The man smiled and brought his index finger to his lips to silence her.
