Chapter 5: Chapter 5
Upon hearing the location of the deal, Inspector Huang could no longer stay calm. He looked at Chen Ye with a mixture of surprise and suspicion.
Tonight, Han Chen was supposed to make a deal with the Thai gang, and Inspector Huang had only received this information from an undercover agent. At this point, only he and the undercover agent knew about it.
Yet, Chen Ye not only knew this but also had the exact location of the deal.
This made Inspector Huang seriously consider the credibility of Chen Ye's information.
"Are you sure about the deal taking place at Longyu Beach?"
Inspector Huang asked in a serious tone.
The main target of tonight's operation for Inspector Huang was Han Chen. The biggest challenge was not knowing the exact location of the deal. Given Han Chen's vast influence, even capturing him would be useless without the evidence of the deal.
At this moment, Chen Ye providing the deal location made Inspector Huang feel more confident about the operation's success.
Chen Ye nodded, "That's what I heard!"
Inspector Huang thought for a moment, then asked Chen Ye sternly, "Officer, what's your name?"
"Second-level intelligence officer, Zhang Ming!"
"Mind if I call you A-Ming?"
"Not at all, sir."
Inspector Huang said, "If everything you've said is true, you'll be credited for a major contribution in tonight's operation. But if you're lying... no one can save you from the consequences of defaming your superior. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Chen Ye's tone was firm and unwavering.
After all, he wasn't from this world and would be transported away in three days at most. What did he have to fear?
Seeing Chen Ye's confident demeanor, Inspector Huang couldn't help but start believing him.
"There's one more thing," Chen Ye suddenly said, "After Inspector Liu left last night, I heard Han Chen on the phone instructing Lin Guoping to keep an eye on Inspector Liu… Sir, Lin Guoping is a first-level intelligence officer and usually stays close to Inspector Liu. He might also be a mole..."
Hearing this, Inspector Huang's pupils contracted slightly, and his expression grew serious.
Chen Ye was suggesting there were two moles within the intelligence department!
Moreover, one mole's task was to monitor the other mole!!
Initially, Inspector Huang only half-believed Chen Ye's accusation about Liu Jianming. But hearing this new information, his belief surged to eighty percent.
Being Han Chen's old rival, Inspector Huang knew Han Chen well. He was a cautious and suspicious old fox who trusted no one.
Having a mole monitor another mole was very much in line with Han Chen's way of doing things.
"When you go back, don't say anything about this meeting. Act as if you never saw me!"
With that, Inspector Huang patted Chen Ye on the shoulder and returned to the house.
Watching Inspector Huang's back, Chen Ye smiled slightly.
In reality.
Directly approaching Inspector Huang to report this was a risky move for Chen Ye.
The police operate based on evidence. Without evidence, suspicions amount to slander.
The safer approach would have been to follow and monitor Liu Jianming. Since Liu Jianming was a mole, he would eventually contact Han Chen, and that could be recorded as evidence.
Chen Ye chose this aggressive approach to quickly complete his mission and secure a higher mission rating.
It was a gamble worth taking, hoping for a big payoff.
…..
The sky quickly darkened.
The temporary office was already crowded with people.
Inspector Huang stood before everyone, ready to brief them on the operation.
"Tonight's target is a drug trafficking ring. According to information from our informant, at 7 PM, they will be making a deal with a Thai seller. The money exchange will happen on the third floor of the building across from us. As for the location of the goods exchange, we still don't know..."
At this point, Inspector Huang instinctively glanced at Chen Ye in the crowd, then continued:
"Now, let me outline your tasks."
Everyone's faces turned serious.
Inspector Huang went on, "The intelligence team will be responsible for tracking the target, establishing contacts, and handling communications. The Major Crimes Unit will only move in to make arrests once the undercover agent confirms the location of the goods!"
"Let's take a look at tonight's main targets..."
As he said this, an officer stepped forward and posted several photos on the wall.
The people in the photos were Han Chen and his associates.
"These are the main targets for tonight: Han Chen, Chan Wing-yan, and Dilu. We've been monitoring them for a long time. We must catch them tonight!!"
"Is everyone clear?" Inspector Huang asked loudly.
"Yes, sir!!" the officers responded.
Inspector Huang clapped his hands, "Let's get to work!"
Everyone immediately sprang into action.
Chen Ye pretended to be linking up his computer but was secretly watching the movements of Inspector Huang and Liu Jianming.
He remembered the plot and knew that Liu Jianming, being the mole, would soon tip off Han Chen.
Sure enough.
After removing his suit jacket, Liu Jianming suddenly took out his phone, pretending to receive a call, and walked to the balcony to answer it.
Chen Ye smiled slightly.
He noticed that Inspector Huang had also observed Liu Jianming and followed him to the balcony.
...
On the balcony.
Inspector Huang watched Liu Jianming make his call without showing any emotion.
"Hello, Dad, it's me."
"I have something to do tonight, so I can't come home for dinner..."
"Alright, I'll stay safe. You rest early."
After hanging up, Liu Jianming looked at Inspector Huang and smiled, "Sorry about that, Inspector Huang. I had plans to have dinner with my dad tonight, so I had to call and let him know not to wait for me."
No wonder he had been a mole for so many years.
His acting skills were on par with a film star's.
Inspector Huang looked at Liu Jianming's warm smile but was thinking about Chen Ye's words.
Everything Chen Ye mentioned as a code had just been spoken by Liu Jianming...
"It's no problem. It's my fault for the sudden overtime," Inspector Huang said with a faint smile.
"The case is important, after all."
Liu Jianming continued to smile pleasantly, appearing very amiable.
Suddenly, Inspector Huang said, "Jianming, can I see your phone?"
