Chapter 230 Come again?
Chapter 230 Come again?
Qi Heng approached, extended his hand to the contact, and introduced himself: "I am the leader of this operation, you can just call me Caidao."
"Just call me Lao Mo." Lao Mo smiled and shook hands with him without telling them his name.
People in their line of work can easily expose themselves if they are careless, so it is better to be cautious.
After introducing himself, Lao Mo saw that everyone was present and continued, "Let's go. Let's leave here first."
After saying that, he led Li Xiang and others towards the car they had hidden earlier.
After getting in the car, Lao Mo took them into the town without saying a word, and after several turns, they stopped at the back door of a grocery store.
After getting off the car, Lao Mo invited them in and took them to an underground safe house.
Pointing to the box in the corner, he said, "Your stuff has been shipped over. Check to see if there are any problems."
Hearing this, Li Xiang walked forward, opened the box, distributed the equipment one by one, and everyone started checking it.
Qi Heng took the equipment handed over by Li Xiang, checked it and asked Lao Mo: "What's the situation now?"
Seeing that he was going to talk business, Lao Mo pulled over a chair and sat down, saying, "We have found the target's residence and figured out his pattern of action, but..."
Hearing the word "but", Li Xiang and others stopped what they were doing, turned to look at him, and waited for his next words.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Lao Mo could only bite the bullet and continue, "But... just the day before yesterday, for some reason, the target suddenly hid in their organization's lair and never came out again..."
Hearing this, everyone's heart skipped a beat and they couldn't help but frown.
"No way, again?" Li Xiang's face immediately fell.
The time point the day before yesterday was very subtle, as it was exactly the time they were going to set off.
After experiencing the last mission, he didn’t believe that there would be such a coincidence that the target would just hide in the lair at the same time as they set out?
This made him wonder where the other party got the news of their coming.
"So..." Leng Feng's face darkened as he murmured, "Our operation has been leaked again?"
He wondered if he had some hidden attributes, otherwise why did he only have two missions, and both times he encountered intelligence leaks...
"Then why did we go through all the trouble to come here?" After learning that the target was hiding, the crow was a little discouraged.
If they wanted to capture the enemy in their lair, that was simply not something that 10 of them could accomplish!
They are not Superman, so how can they complete the mission in a camp with at least a thousand people armed to the teeth?
It is estimated that before they could get close to the camp, the enemy fired a missile and killed them.
"Not many people know about our mission this time. Do you think it will happen..."
Although Wu Zhe didn't finish his words, everyone understood what he meant.
He suspected that there were spies among the top leaders or among the people they usually came into contact with.
It would be easy to deal with if it was someone close to the top leaders, but if there were spies among the top leaders, then their identities might have been exposed.
Once their identities are revealed, their families will be in danger.
Thinking of this, the atmosphere in the safe house suddenly became solemn.
Qi Heng immediately said to Lao Mo: "I need to make a call home!"
Lao Mo didn't say anything. He stood up and found a satellite phone from the corner. He handed it to him and said, "Use this. It's encrypted."
Qi Heng didn't hesitate and called Yuan Lang after taking the phone.
When Yuan Lang answered the phone, his first words were: "Our actions have been exposed! How are you doing now?"
Hearing Yuan Lang's anxious voice, Qi Heng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Since Yuan Lang already knew that they had been exposed, given his character, he would definitely have arranged for the safety of their families.
"We are in the safe house now and nothing has happened." Qi Heng replied.
"That's good. Don't worry. I'll be watching over the family. Nothing will go wrong. Do your best for this mission. The higher-ups have agreed. You can terminate the mission at any time."
Sure enough, Yuan Lang completely eliminated his worries over the phone and told him that he could terminate the mission at any time.
"I understand!" After Qi Heng answered, Yuan Lang gave a few more instructions before hanging up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Qi Heng looked much more relaxed. He looked at Lao Mo and asked, "Do you have any other safe houses? It would be best if they were a little more remote. Just in case, we'd better move to another location."
Although their route of action was not directly connected to the intelligence and did not go through the hands of others.
But for safety reasons, Yuan Lang still suggested on the phone that they change their hiding location.
After hearing this, Lao Mo thought about it for a while and agreed with Qi Heng's proposal. He nodded and said, "You guys clean up first, and I'll take you to another safe house after that."
Seeing that he agreed, Li Xiang and others quickly packed up their equipment.
Before daybreak, they loaded their equipment into the car, and Lao Mo took them out of town quickly.
As the sky brightened, the residents of the town went out one after another as usual and started a new day's work.
But they found that there were suddenly many unfamiliar faces on the street today, and they all looked around as if they were looking for someone.
They even asked passers-by if they had seen groups of Dragon people.
Li Xiang and others, who had already left the town, had no idea what was happening.
Lao Mo drove them to an abandoned factory in the suburbs.
After parking the car in a hidden location, Lao Mo led them into the underground safe house.
He introduced them: "This is the most remote safe house I have. The supplies inside are enough for you to live for a month, and there is also an escape passage to the outside world."
As he spoke, he also demonstrated the location of the passage to them.
Qi Heng looked around and thanked Lao Mo, "These are already good enough for us. Thank you for your help."
Lao Mo waved his hand to indicate that he was welcome, then looked at him and asked, "Your actions have been leaked, do you still plan to stay here?"
"We plan to take a look at the situation first and then make a plan." Qi Heng was also a little helpless at this time.
He also didn't expect that the first mission he led after taking over as captain would most likely result in the first mission failure of Lijian since its establishment.
Although the reason for the failure had nothing to do with him, he still couldn't help feeling depressed.
Seeing Qi Heng's depressed look, Li Xiang stepped forward and patted him on the back to comfort him.
Qi Heng looked back at him and shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
