“Lao Zhao, there are no outsiders here, tell me about your progress on the case,”
Li Wei Min chuckled.
Zhao Jia Liang couldn't help but size up Qi Tong Wei.
In the past, he and Li Wei Min had always been in contact through separate channels, ensuring their plan, meticulously crafted over many years, wouldn't be compromised.
However, he didn't expect Li Wei Min to have such trust in this young police officer, actually arranging for them to meet.
This was rare, to say the least.
Li Wei Min's personality was extremely cautious. He seldom opened up to anyone, except for a few long-time friends.
Yet, he trusted Qi Tong Wei so much. It seemed this young police officer must have some real skill to have earned Li Wei Min's trust…
While pondering this, Zhao Jia Liang said, "Here's the thing, after Li Team Leader joined forces with the Hong Kong Police to take down Lin Yao Dong's old Southeast Asian drug distribution network."
“Lin Yao Dong kept a low profile for a while, then he started looking for opportunities to rebuild his sales channels through intermediaries.”
“I saw my chance, I let some rumors out, finally hooking Lin Yao Dong. He recently sent people to contact me."
“But he's extremely cautious, he's not willing to make a deal easily. Instead, he invited me to Dongshan for a visit.”
“I suspect he’s trying to gauge my background."
Li Wei Min nodded. "That’s what I think. With Lin Yao Dong's cautious nature, he'd rather wait it out, he wouldn't readily agree to a deal with you."
Qi Tong Wei chimed in, "If he's so patient, let's push him, make him anxious!"
“Once he gets anxious, he’ll make mistakes. When a man is desperate, he’ll do anything. He'll automatically reach out to Mr. Zhao!"
Zhao Jia Liang's eyes lit up, "Do you have a plan?"
Honestly, he’d been in Dongshan for a while now.
But Lin Yao Dong seemed to be playing a game of patience with him, just taking him for tea and chatting, never mentioning drug deals.
It was as if he was inviting him to tour Taizhai Village's village-owned enterprises.
Moreover, Lin Yao Dong installed surveillance cameras in his hotel, keeping tabs on his every move.
This made Jia Liang afraid to make any moves.
Lin Yao Dong wasn't in a hurry, but Zhao Jia Liang was.
His identity and drug distribution network in Hong Kong were all fabricated. The longer it took, the higher the risk of exposure.
Now, with Qi Tong Wei saying he had a plan to force Lin Yao Dong to contact him, it suddenly felt like a ray of hope.
Qi Tong Wei smiled and then outlined his plan to Li Wei Min and Zhao Jia Liang.
Zhao Jia Liang furrowed his brow, "Will this work?"
He then expressed his concerns.
From his visits to Taizhai Village, pretending to inspect their village-owned enterprises, he'd learned a lot about the place.
The villagers in Taizhai Village were very close-knit, and the paths within the village were incredibly intricate.
Not to mention whether the police could even enter Taizhai.
Even if they could, a mere hundred police officers entering the village would be like a drop in the ocean.
The moment the police entered, the villagers would have alerted everyone.
How could the police possibly find the drug production sites inside Taizhai before the drug dealers moved everything?
And the roads in Taizhai were a maze, how could the police block Lin Can from escaping once they got to the scene?
Hearing Zhao Jia Liang’s analysis, Li Wei Min felt a headache coming on.
He suddenly realized that he didn’t have a deep enough understanding of Taizhai, and he began to doubt their plan.
Seeing Li Wei Min’s hesitation, Qi Tong Wei knew that with his cautious nature, he was starting to waver again.
So, Qi Tong Wei said in a deep voice, “Team Leader Li, the arrow is on the string, we have to shoot! Now is our chance to make a decisive strike, we can't give up halfway!"
“Please trust that I can solve these problems."
He looked at the two men in front of him, confidently saying, "For this operation, I have complete faith in our success!"
Zhao Jia Liang didn't know Qi Tong Wei well, and he was somewhat inspired by his confidence.
But he still believed that young people were too naive, lacking foresight when faced with difficulties.
Sometimes, blind confidence was not a good thing.
He reminded Qi Tong Wei, "Sir Qi, I admire your confidence and courage, but think carefully, if this mission fails, and we scare the snake, making Lin Yao Dong suspicious."
“He might decide to move his drug production line beforehand, and then he might not choose to make a deal with me anymore.”
While Zhao Jia Liang was seemingly talking to Qi Tong Wei.
He was also trying to persuade Li Wei Min to reconsider, whether he should trust this green young officer, and to think it over carefully.
Li Wei Min was wavering at this point.
Due to Qi Tong Wei's outstanding performance, he had been gaining confidence.
His style of doing things had become more direct and bold.
Unconsciously, he felt like he was back to his younger days, fearless and ready to take on any challenge, under Qi Tong Wei's influence.
But facing the possibility of a meticulously crafted plan, spanning 15 years, collapsing with one wrong move.
Li Wei Min hesitated again.
Should he go all in?
Or should he take things slowly?
Qi Tong Wei was in no hurry, patiently waiting for Li Wei Min's decision.
Actually, no matter what Li Wei Min chose, Qi Tong Wei was going to solve the problem with Taizhai in his own way.
It was just a matter of time.
And, according to the original plot, the event should be happening soon.
At that time, there would be no room for Li Wei Min's hesitation.
Li Wei Min contemplated for a long time, just as he was about to make a decision.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
