"Who is the owner of this place?"
"The legal representative is someone named Mahar, should be the owner of the store," Li Zhengnan said.
"Check this person’s identity, and if anyone related to this place is found, investigate them thoroughly as well."
"Okay."
After arranging the specific matters, Lin Yi looked at Ning Che and said:
"Ask people in your circle if they know about this place."
Ning Che took out his phone, sent a few messages in his group, and spread the word he wanted to gather.
"Are you suspecting that this place isn’t clean?"
"It’s not just about being unclean," Lin Yi said:
"The base of the Central Guards Brigade is right here, and then a place like this appears. I always feel it could be their intelligence hub."
Upon hearing this, the people from the Central Guards Brigade felt a slight sense of tension.
Even Li Zheng and Zhang Xu sensed something was wrong.
The impact of this matter might be more significant than they initially thought.
Soon, Ning Che got a response, glanced at the message, and said:
"Some of my friends have been here. The grade is okay, but not top-notch. Compared to some wine clubs in Zhong Hai, it’s still a bit lacking."
"Looking at it this way, it does seem a bit suspicious."
Lin Yi pointed to the entrance and said:
"The cars parked at the entrance, each one isn’t cheap. Those driving these cars are picky. If your friends find it average, in their eyes, it would be considered trash."
"The way you put it reminds me," Ning Che said:
"But there’s another possibility. This isn’t just a wine club; there might be dirty transactions inside, attracting these people."
"Whatever the case, this place isn’t clean."
While the two were talking, Yu Siying and Zhang Chaoyue jogged back.
"Boss, there are three doors in total. The front door is open for operation; the back door is locked, with occasional activity, and there’s a side emergency door that’s locked and hasn’t been opened for a long time."
Lin Yi’s eyes shifted, and he said:
"Group One and Group Three, allocate your personnel and secure all exits. Once I go in, don’t let anyone out. If anyone disobeys, shoot them on sight."
"Yes!"
Sssss—
Li Zheng and Zhang Xu felt a shiver run down their spines.
They just realized that these people from the Mysterious Department had much more authority than they did.
Compared to these people, they didn’t even count as errand boys.
Ringringring—
At this moment, Li Zheng’s phone rang.
He answered immediately and hung up a few minutes later.
"It’s been confirmed. Four hours after Chen Shengli disappeared, a business vehicle brought three suitcases here. They were likely hidden inside the cases."
With this news, Lin Yi’s expression grew particularly grim.
"Has there been any suspicious character recently?"
"They analyzed the surveillance; those coming and going seem to be regular customers without any suspicious persons."
"Brother Li’s guess is probably eight or nine out of ten correct," Ning Che said:
"After they captured Brother Chen, they found a place to transfer him and then brought him here, which makes sense timing-wise."
Pausing, Ning Che continued:
"So your analysis makes a lot of sense. This place might really be their hub for secretly observing the Central Guards Brigade’s actions and gathering related intelligence and missions."
"There’s no use in saying that now, we should get ready to take action."
Lin Yi looked at Li Zheng and said:
"Brother Li, those stationed outside are in your hands; follow my command and block all streets immediately. Don’t miss any corner."
"Don’t worry, I’ve got experience with this sort of thing."
"Good."
After arranging the follow-up matters, Lin Yi and Ning Che looked around and then walked towards the wine club.
Although it was already past eleven at night, for this City That Never Sleeps, a wonderful nightlife was just beginning.
And Ning Che quickly got into character, holding Lin Yi’s arm as they headed towards the club.
"Good evening, sir,"
