152: A Slight Display of Strength_2 152: A Slight Display of Strength_2 Su Yuan stepped out of the train station and scanned the crowd at the exit.
He quickly spotted a young man holding a sign.
The youth, around twenty-five or six years old, tall and thin, held a sign with “Su Yuan” written on it in bold letters.
Su Yuan remembered the Qingtan City Guard member who had communicated with him yesterday and walked over with Luo Bingtong.
The young man’s gaze lingered on Luo Bingtong’s face for a few seconds, then he looked away into the distance.
Su Yuan greeted, “Hello, are you a member of the Qingtan City Guard?”
“I am.
You are…?”
Su Yuan pointed at the sign in his hand.
The young man was momentarily stunned.
Then he realized and said in surprise, “You’re Su Yuan?
The one who accepted Li Yongzhen’s task?”
“That’s right, it’s us.” Su Yuan said, taking out his student ID.
Qiao Kaile took the student ID, glanced at it briefly, and then handed it back to Su Yuan.
So they really are freshmen!
Qiao Kaile’s gaze shifted back and forth between Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong.
Even though he had been prepared, he was still very surprised.
Su Yuan was fine.
The key issue was that Luo Bingtong looked really young.
Also, with no Star Power fluctuations emanating from either of them, Qiao Kaile initially thought it was a big brother bringing his sister to high school.
Could these two really handle Li Yongzhen and his companions?
Remembering the captain’s instructions, Qiao Kaile politely said, “Hello, fellow students.
I’m Qiao Kaile from the third squad of the Qingtan City Guard.
The car is already parked outside.
I’ll take you to the guesthouse in the northern suburbs.”
Su Yuan smiled, “Thank you, Brother Qiao.”
Seeing Su Yuan being so approachable, without the usual arrogance of a genius, Qiao Kaile couldn’t help but reciprocate the politeness and waved his hand:
“No trouble at all.
It’s my job.”
Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong got into Qiao Kaile’s car and headed towards the northern suburb.
On the way, Su Yuan asked, “Brother Qiao, what exactly is the current situation?
Have the positions of the three fugitives been confirmed?”
Qiao Kaile replied, “Basically confirmed.
You arrived just in time.
We further narrowed down their range yesterday, around the White Dragon River Resort area.
But behind the northern suburb where the resort is located lies the dangerous Tianmang Mountain.
Those three are very vigilant.
We worry that they might retreat into Tianmang Mountain if we alarm them, so we haven’t dared to search openly, which has slowed progress.
Come to think of it, right after their crime, they went into Tianmang Mountain.
We thought they were crossing the mountain.
Who knew they would suddenly turn back and return to the northern suburbs?
Fortunately, Captain Zhou was cautious and never withdrew the secret posts along the mountain’s perimeter.
Sure enough, their tracks were rediscovered a week ago!
Amazing, right?”
“Amazing,” Su Yuan sincerely nodded.
Competing in wits and bravery with the fugitives was not easy for the City Guard members.
However, Su Yuan keenly caught onto a specific piece of information and asked, “Brother Qiao, you mentioned the searching is slow.
How long would it take to locate them?”
Qiao Kaile answered, “At this rate, we expect to pinpoint their location in two or three days.”
“Two or three days, that’s a bit long…”
