The meetings between Ye Shaolong and Yan Qingwu were usually arranged in the dead of night, so Ye Shaolong could understand Yan Qingwu and the others' caution.
But that day, for some reason, when the night was already late but people were still quiet, Ye Shaolong received a signal from the Yan Qing Dance Party.
The meeting signal is not sent by means of communication such as sending text messages, but by a flashlight.
Unlike Ye Shaolong, who would stand directly under the streetlight if he came to see Yan Qingwu for something, if Yan Qingwu and the others completed the tasks assigned by Ye Shaolong, or if they came to see Ye Shaolong for something, they would have someone slap two punches on the window of Ye Shaolong's room.
Long and three short flashlight signals.
I don’t know who made the signal this time, but he seems to be very familiar with Ye Shaolong’s living habits.
Unlike the previous signals, which were usually sent in the dead of night, when Ye Shaolong had already gone to bed. But it was not yet Ye Shaolong's normal rest time, and the lights were still on in the room.
But that person was extremely skillful in signaling. Even when the room lights were bright, Ye Shaolong still easily caught the two-long and three-short flashlight signal.
Although Ye Shaolong was full of doubts about Yan Qingwu and the others being so eager to find him today, after making sure that his parents had gone to bed, he quietly went out and looked for Yan Qingwu and the others' residence.
When Ye Shaolong came to the building, he didn't even need to knock on the door or ring the doorbell. Almost at the same moment, the door was opened from the inside.
It has to be said that Yan Qingwu and the others' reconnaissance capabilities are quite good.
Ye Shaolong didn't say anything. Even though the light in the room was dim, he still followed Hu Zi who opened the door as if he was strolling in the house with his night vision ability.
Entering the room, Ye Shaolong found that Yan Qingwu and Lang Ya were already in the room.
Ye Shaolong could easily see a hint of excitement on their faces.
Is there any good news?
Ye Shaolong endured his temper and did not ask, and regardless of whether they asked him to sit down, he sat down on a swivel chair and started spinning around, as if he was here just for fun.
"Xu Siming is missing."
Yan Qingwu was the first to speak, but her words made Ye Shaolong jump up immediately. Behind him, the chair continued to spin, and it took a long time to stop.
"What?" Ye Shaolong jumped up, not hiding the surprised expression on his face.
"Xu Siming is missing."
As if to prove that Ye Shaolong had heard correctly, Yan Qingwu repeated what she had just said.
Ye Shaolong calmed down and asked calmly: "When did it happen?"
"We discovered it today." Yan Qingwu replied immediately without pretending to be silent.
After hearing Yan Qingwu's words, Ye Shaolong frowned slightly and said, "That means you don't know the exact time of Xu Siming's disappearance, right?"
How could Yan Qingwu not hear the slight anger in Ye Shaolong's words, but she still nodded to indicate that Ye Shaolong was right.
When Ye Shaolong saw Yan Qingwu nodding, he subconsciously wanted to sit down, but the chair turned to the other side, and Ye Shaolong almost fell down.
Ye Shaolong stabilized his body, turned the chair to the right position, took a deep breath, and then sat down gently.
"Have you found the person?" Ye Shaolong asked with a glimmer of hope.
This was the first time Yan Qingwu saw Ye Shaolong lose his composure. She was stunned for a moment, then remembered Ye Shaolong's question. She sighed, hesitated, and said: "Because I couldn't discover Xu Siming's disappearance at the first time, I almost found all the clues."
Not much, but..."
"But what?" Ye Shaolong suddenly asked as if he was about to seize some good news.
Seeing Ye Shaolong's expression, Yan Qingwu felt inexplicably unbearable, but she still said, "The Xu family doesn't seem to know where Xu Siming went?"
After Ye Shaolong heard this, he leaned on his chair a little slumped and said nothing.
After a long time, Ye Shaolong finally said: "You mean, Xu Siming didn't hide on purpose, but really disappeared?"
Yan Qingwu just nodded and said nothing.
Ye Shaolong also agreed with Yan Qingwu's judgment. Not to mention that Xu Siming didn't know about the existence of Yan Qingwu and others. Even if he knew, there would be no reason to be afraid of the fifty or sixty people of his. There was no reason to hide at all.
Yan Qingwu saw Ye Shaolong nodded slightly, and then said: "And based on our reconnaissance today, we found that the Xu family is sending people everywhere to look for Xu Siming."
Ye Shaolong glanced at Yan Qingwu slightly. Yan Qingwu's words contained two meanings.
The superficial meaning is that the Xu family sent people everywhere to search for Xu Siming, proving that Xu Siming indeed disappeared for no reason, even though it seemed a bit strange.
Ye Shaolong suddenly turned his eyes, looked at the slightly excited Lang Ya and said, "Can fifty people beat ten with one?"
After hearing Ye Shaolong's words, the five Langya people couldn't help but roll their eyes at the same time.
It’s like telling Ye Shaolong, do you think we are gods? In just a few days, we can beat ten of them!
"Are you sure there is no mistake in the reconnaissance?" Ye Shaolong asked again.
If the previous sentence was ridiculing them, then this sentence is contempt for their professional level!
Lang Ya suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and said in an unusually positive tone: "Not only the manpower of Gui County, but also the manpower of Xiang County have been dispersed by the Xu family."
This is also the second meaning contained in Yan Qingwu's words just now.
In fact, Ye Shaolong is not questioning their ability, but their current workload is indeed a bit heavy. Not only do they have to train those fifty people, but they also have to pay attention to every move in Xiang County.
Therefore, Ye Shaolong didn't mean to blame them too much for their failure to discover Xu Siming's disappearance at the first time, and even for losing the clues now.
The reason why I asked that sentence was simply because Ye Shaolong never fought a battle that he was not sure of.
"Do you think the time is ripe now?" Ye Shaolong asked unnecessarily.
The five Langya people nodded excitedly.
But Ye Shaolong couldn't be happy at all. The person he wanted to deal with most was Xu Siming, not the Xu family.
But Xu Siming disappeared. Even if Xu Siming's disappearance brought the best opportunity to deal with the Xu family, Ye Shaolong couldn't be even a little excited.
However, Ye Shaolong also knew deeply that the reason why he did not deal with Xu Siming immediately was because he was worried about the Xu family's revenge. Now that he can deal with the Xu family, whenever he finds Xu Siming in the future, he will be able to kill him without any scruples.
Soon.
"Are you all ready?" Ye Shaolong looked at the five Langya people and asked this question.
