In the middle of the night, Tan Qibiao was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by a phone call.
Undoubtedly, this was another call from his boss in the United States, Lu Zhichao.
The time difference between China and the United States is twelve hours. Lu Zhichao usually chooses noon in the United States to communicate with Tan Qibiao late at night, and they have become accustomed to each other.
"Did the cousin's blind date go smoothly?"
Lu Zhichao asked Tan Qibiao in a dark way on the phone.
"It went very smoothly!" Tan Qibiao replied, "The man is very sensible. According to the previous agreement, today is the first date and he took the initiative to bring a meeting gift?"
Blind date alludes to the meeting between Fan Lizhi and her contact person. The reason why such a code word is used is naturally to prevent the conversation between the two from being accidentally monitored.
"Have you seen what kind of greeting gift it is?" Lu Zhichao asked again, "Is it similar to that and has enough weight?"
"Not yet." Tan Qibiao replied, "However, judging from my cousin's appearance, she is quite satisfied. The two of them are staying together sweetly right now. Maybe I will be able to see the meeting gift at noon tomorrow."
He thought that now was not the time to make any judgments about the weight of this so-called meeting gift.
Lu Zhichao reminded Tan Qibiao: "Don't forget, I told you before that my cousin sometimes has two boats. As for the greeting etiquette, you must know it personally to avoid being fooled by others!"
Tan Qibiao hurriedly replied, knowing what he knew, please feel free to worry about Lu Zhichao!
Lu Zhichao told Tan Qibiao about his recent schedule and planned to go to Paris to stay for a while.
The two of them called for a long time before hanging up, which made Tan Qibiao unable to sleep in the rest of the night.
He first wondered whether the bag that the man brought yesterday contained valuable information about all islands, reefs, beaches, hydrology, etc. within the nine-dash line in the South China Sea.
A series of geographical data and intelligence materials.
This guy's name is Gu Shangji. He works in the ocean exploration department. He is a computer engineer and has important internal files in the unit.
Tan Qibiao and Gu Shangji met once in Shanghai two years ago.
It is unclear what means Lu Zhichao used and what channels he relied on to develop Gu Shangji into an informant.
Anyway, during that meeting, Tan Qibiao followed Lu Zhichao's instructions and paid a large commission to Gu Shangji.
A while ago, Tan Qibiao stayed at the Daimaru Hotel in Tokyo. When they met, Lu Zhichao told him that Fan Lizhi would rush to Tokyo in the near future and then go to Sanya to meet Gu Shangji.
Regarding Tan Qibiao's mission to Sanya, firstly, he arranged for the two of them to meet directly, and secondly, he tried to make a complete backup of the drawings and information that Gu Shangji gave to Fan Lizhi.
From Lu Zhichao's tone, it can be heard that he does not seem to be completely relieved about Fan Lizhi.
Tan Qibiao now understands that the reason why Lu Zhichao arranged for Fan Lizhi and Gu Shangji to meet during May Day was obviously carefully considered in advance.
That is, Gu Shangji happened to take advantage of his three-day vacation to steal the confidential internal geographical data and related intelligence information in the unit, so that Fan Lizhi and Tan Qibiao would have enough time to study and utilize them, and then
Returned it.
As for what Lu Zhichao said just now, he would go to Paris for a while. Tan Qibiao remembered that at the Daimaru Hotel that day, Colini privately revealed that the boss, Lu Zhichao, had met a man from Japan through Gusfen's sister.
A Chinese girl who just went to Paris to study fashion design.
Collini said that Lu Zhichao was very interested in this Chinese girl named Chen and expected to launch an extremely fierce offensive against her.
Therefore, it was not difficult for Tan Qibiao to guess at this time that Lu Zhichao mentioned that he was going to Paris some time ago and would stay for a long time, which must be for this purpose.
In a daze, he slept until about nine o'clock in the morning, then got up from the bed and went to the restaurant to have breakfast alone.
He couldn't tell whether Fan Lizhi and Gu Shangji were still hanging out in the room at this time.
Tan Qibiao thought that maybe it would be more appropriate to wait until noon before going to their room to meet the two of them.
The distance from Tinghaiju to the restaurant is only about 100 meters.
At this time, most of the tourists living in the resort had left early, so no one else was seen nearby.
Halfway to the restaurant, Tan Qibiao was blocked by a car parked in front of him.
What is strange is that the trunk of this car is open, and there is a person squatting underneath, and he seems to be holding a large cloth bag in his hand.
He is probably the driver of this car!
The road was very narrow and full of bushes on both sides. Tan Qibiao felt that the driver was not discerning and should not have parked the car here.
Just as he was about to step in from the side of the car, the squatting man suddenly picked up the cloth bag, jumped up from behind Tan Qibiao, quickly stuffed a ball of linen cloth into his mouth, and then put it in his hands.
From head to toe, he was firmly put into the cloth bag, then tied tightly and thrown into the trunk.
With Tan Qibiao's thin body, it is obviously more than enough to fit into the trunk of this car.
The car drove towards the wilderness several kilometers away from the resort hotel, and bumped along a rugged road for a long time before stopping in an abandoned building overgrown with weeds and broken walls everywhere.
…
Last night, in the darkness in front of Tinghai Residence, Xiong Jiandong was in a state of inner turmoil.
He didn't know how long he stood there, nor did he notice when Tan Qibiao left the corridor and went back to his room No. 3.
What Xiong Jiandong blames very much is that if he, as Hua Nianping, could have been vigilant early and discovered his dealings with Lin Sirer, he would have been monitored and tracked by Tan Qibao from the beginning. What would have been the development and outcome of everything?
, it will definitely not be what it is now.
The person who instigated Tan Qibiao behind the scenes was undoubtedly Lin Sirer's husband in the United States, Lu Zhichao.
If we had realized earlier that Lu Zhichao was so despicable and his methods were vicious and insidious, we should not have reluctantly given up our love and persuaded Lin Sirer to return to San Francisco, otherwise she would not have suffered from Lu Zhichao.
of torture and abuse.
Now he can be completely convinced that the skull USB flash drive entrusted to him by Lin Sirer must contain evidence of Lu Zhichao's major crime of betraying his motherland.
Now, Lu Zhichao's accomplice, Tan Qibiao, lives next door and is within easy reach. The two months of tracking and pursuit have finally paid off. It's time to seize the opportunity and resort to decisive measures.
