89: Chapter 89 Another Twist

Zuo Hemei's face was ashen at this moment. She realized a terrifying fact: someone had tipped off the little japanese in advance, and it happened shortly before she arrived.

The video Zhang Wei provided her clearly showed the other party placing the buddha head in this safe. Now, only an empty box remained, indicating that the buddha head had been moved in a great hurry.

"Withdraw the team," Zuo Hemei said with a dark face. At the same time, she looked at Mitsui Masao: "I hope you don't let me catch you with your tail showing."

With Mitsui Masao wearing an arrogant expression, everyone walked out of the building. A police officer on the side asked: "Captain, that little japanese is too arrogant. Are we just going to let it go like this?"

Zuo Hemei said: "Only half an hour passed from the start of our raid to the inspection. During this time, most of our people were temporarily assembled and organized into teams, so it's unlikely there was a problem. The only ones who knew about the operation in advance and had the motive to tip these people off could only be those from X City."

Thinking of this, she almost swore. Some people had reached the point of being unscrupulous for the sake of profit.

Zuo Hemei thought about it and decided to call Zhang Wei. Although this kid was unreliable, he had previously succeeded in capturing kidnappers and outsmarting human traffickers. Perhaps he had some unconventional, clever tricks up his sleeve.

"Hello? This is Zuo Hemei." When the call connected, Zuo Hemei explained the situation in detail to Zhang Wei and finally said, "Currently, without ironclad evidence, our Criminal Police Brigade cannot act for the time being, otherwise it will be difficult for us to answer to X City. Quickly think about whether there are any other ways?"

Zhang Wei was shocked to hear this; he hadn't expected things to become so complicated. He summoned the blue light screen, and the real-time location of the buddha head still showed it inside the Sanlin Group building. Zhang Wei carefully examined the screen; the red dot representing the buddha head was moving vertically up and down from time to time.

"Officer Zuo, you have been played. The buddha head never left that building from beginning to end," Zhang Wei said with a wry smile.

Zuo Hemei said with an expression of disbelief: "But the other party rented the 18th floor of the building, and our officers searched it inside and out thoroughly. There were no omissions, right?"

Zhang Wei shook his head: "There is one place you haven't searched. It both belongs to the 18th floor and doesn't belong to the 18th floor."

Zuo Hemei pondered silently, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Are you talking about... the elevator?"

"That's right, the buddha head was hidden above the elevator car. At the time, your team searched without any delay, and even if that little japanese got a tip-off from someone in X City, they didn't have much time to hide it."

"I just didn't expect the other party to have some wit." Speaking of this, he felt some regret. He had thought Zuo Hemei would be able to complete this matter easily. He hadn't expected the situation beneath the surface to be so deep.

Zuo Hemei also regretted underestimating the cunning of that devil. She said somewhat dejectedly: "But currently, there is no sufficient evidence, and we cannot rashly go over to search again. After all, it involves foreigners, so we must be mindful of the impact."

Zhang Wei laughed: "Let me think of a way for this matter. If needed, I ask Captain Zuo to cooperate with my actions."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Wei started calling for backup.

More than half an hour later, in the living room of Jiangnan Garden.

Zhu Pengfei, Liu Haorui, Chen Jiayan, Zhang Hong, and Wang Sheng were all sitting on the sofa, listening to Zhang Wei explain the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

Zhu Pengfei's eyes lit up at this moment: "So, are we going to go and screw over these little japanese now?" He had grown up seeing all sorts of scenes, but this was his first time with something like this, so he was particularly excited.

"Our primary mission this time is to ensure the safe recovery of the buddha head. The secondary mission is to sanction these animals." Zhang Wei was a bit worried that Zhu Pengfei would overdo it, so he poured cold water on him again: "Old Zhu, excitement is one thing, but this matter is no joke. If you mess this up, Uncle Zhu's explosive temper won't let you off."

"Old Zhang, rest assured, I won't drop the ball at a critical moment." Zhu Pengfei nodded to indicate he knew the gravity of the situation, then asked: "Then what specifically do I need to do?"

Zhang Wei already had a plan and laughed: "Old Zhu, you are the protagonist this time. In a while, you will represent the Zhu Group and visit Sanlin under the pretext of discussing business. The Sanlin Group also has infrastructure businesses and engineering machinery factories. They must also know about the big project the Zhu Group won a few days ago. This way, your visit will be reasonable."

"At that time, An Xiaoxi and I will blend into the crowd. An Xiaoxi will be responsible for handling the cameras and access control systems inside Sanlin. I will wait for an opportunity to see if I can take the buddha head directly. If I can't take it on the spot, I can still control the other party's security and access control. We will execute the infiltration plan at midnight."

After saying so much in one breath, Zhang Wei drank some water and turned to Liu Haorui and the others: "Old Liu, you take Zhang Hong and Wang Sheng as a double insurance. Once we fail, you will take An Xiaoxi to Sanlin again under the guise of an internet celebrity livestreaming to sell goods. Seize the opportunity to hack their security system."

Everyone listened and had no objections, carefully memorizing their actions for the time being. Chen Jiayan, who was on the side, asked doubtfully: "Then what do I need to do?" She had been called over by An Xiaoxi thinking they were going out shopping, but unexpectedly heard such explosive news, and she was very excited inside.

Zhang Wei laughed: "Manager Chen, you only have one task: help An Xiaoxi get a work uniform and, by the way, put on some makeup."

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl appearing at a business negotiation for the Zhu Group would definitely arouse suspicion. An Xiaoxi needed to wear more mature makeup, and since there were only big men here, no one knew how to apply makeup, right?

Chen Jiayan nodded to indicate she understood and pulled An Xiaoxi into the room to do her makeup. Zhang Wei checked the details of the operation with everyone carefully to ensure there were no loopholes, and only then did he feel relieved.

After a while, the doorbell rang. Chen Jiayan ran out: "It should be the delivery I ordered. There's no time to buy a work uniform temporarily, so I just had my mom find one of mine and have it sent over. It should fit."

"Aren't you being too confident?" Zhang Wei was a bit worried. The height difference wasn't that big, but Chen Jiayan had a hot figure, especially her pair of headlights which were ridiculously large. It was impossible for An Xiaoxi, with her flat board figure, to wear her clothes and have them fit.

Chen Jiayan rolled her eyes at Zhang Wei: "Mind your own business when it comes to women's matters. In short, I have a way."

Half an hour later, An Xiaoxi's room door opened.

She was seen wearing heavy makeup, with air bangs covering half her face. Wearing a work suit, she actually looked quite the part.

Everyone looked at her chest, wondering what method Chen Jiayan had used. An Xiaoxi had actually become curvaceous, filling out the clothes completely.

At this moment, the little girl twisted her body, feeling a bit uncomfortable. Chen Jiayan hurriedly said: "You must not move vigorously. Otherwise, if the padding flies out, your cover will be blown."

Liu Haorui laughed out loud on the side and said, courting death: "An Xiaoxi, you must cherish this opportunity. Take more photos for a souvenir. When you grow up, you probably won't have such spectacular dimensions."

Watching An Xiaoxi's icy gaze, Zhang Wei could only pray that Liu Haorui wouldn't die too ugly a death.
