638: Where is Su Yue?

"Target possibly located in Factory Building 4, Zone C."

"Requesting search support!"

His calm voice meant Su Yue's chances were becoming increasingly slim.

However, at the same time, the expression on Su Yue's face didn't seem overly tense... as if all of this was within his expectations.

Su Yue's understanding of human nature far surpassed that of ordinary people.

He deliberately threw the stone near himself; this was a trap! A trap designed to make the agent subconsciously make a judgment!

And once an agent starts thinking instead of acting on instinct, then no matter who it is...

As long as they are a person, their thought process is traceable!

The agent was completely unaware that the target he had been painstakingly pursuing for over half a month was currently hidden in the shadows, observing his every move with cold eyes.

He had even less anticipated that his thoughts had quietly fallen into the calculations meticulously laid out by Su Yue.

At this moment, he couldn't help but fall into a whirlpool of contemplation.

He looked in the direction of the sound, but was startled to find that the second unusual noise came from another direction.

"Two sounds? Who is this?"

His heart was filled with doubt.

However, this confusion didn't last long.

"Su Yue, Su Yue, do you really think we are all fools?"

A surge of anger rose in his heart as he mused inwardly.

Only in fictional movie plots would someone be fooled by such an obvious feint, let alone two consecutive sounds!

Clearly, the first sound was a bait, and the second sound was Su Yue's real hiding place!

He quickly reached this conclusion.

Even so, he remained calm and restrained, not acting rashly.

Support was about to arrive; as long as Su Yue was trapped here and this sole exit was guarded, then even Su Yue would inevitably fall into his hands today.

This would be his supreme glory!

He was the one who personally apprehended Su Yue!

Soon, a response came through the walkie-talkie: "Zone C confirmed, support is rushing over."

"Ensure the scene is stable, Su Yue must not escape."

He immediately replied, "Understood."

This agent was still unaware that he had fallen into Su Yue's trap. However, his steadfastness in his post, a simple yet practical strategy, also effectively curbed Su Yue's next move.

As long as he was here, Su Yue couldn't escape.

And support would eventually arrive, and by then...

Even if Su Yue grew wings, he couldn't fly away.

...

On the other side, Liu Longshi was standing behind the technical team agents, watching them struggle to crack Su Yue's computer.

Su Yue's computer defense was like a Iron Wall (impenetrable fortress), with layers of encryption, and each layer's password was extremely complex.

Facing such a challenge, even professional technical agents felt powerless and couldn't break through quickly.

"How much longer will it take?"

Liu Longshi's expression became increasingly solemn.

He wasn't impatient; since he was prepared for a long battle, no matter how long it took, as long as he could get a result, it was worth waiting for.

However, the time at this moment was closely related to the success or failure of apprehending Su Yue.

Although there was cooperation between him and Su Yue, this cooperation was insignificant in the context of a global nuclear crisis, and Liu Longshi would never deliberately let Su Yue go because of it.

Facing Liu Longshi's inquiry, the technical team agent gritted his teeth, his fingers flying across the keyboard, but the time he reported made him sound somewhat lacking in confidence: "Another twenty minutes."

"Give me another twenty minutes."

This time made him feel uneasy himself.

Liu Longshi didn't say much; he knew that the agent responsible for cracking it was already the best in the team.

Encryption is much simpler than decryption, especially passwords set by a master like Su Yue, which are even more complex and difficult to solve.

Twenty minutes...

Let's wait, then.

Just then, Liu Longshi's walkie-talkie suddenly crackled: "Su Yue's trace found in Zone C."

"Requesting additional support."

"We need to conduct a full search!"

The voice from the walkie-talkie was clearly audible, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Even the agent who was cracking the password froze his fingers and stopped his actions.

Liu Longshi frowned tightly and quickly replied: "Support approved, act immediately."

"Search thoroughly, don't miss any details!"

"But remember, this could be Su Yue's tactic to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"

"While searching, make sure to hold your respective posts firmly!"

Liu Longshi's orders were concise and clear, with no room for disagreement in execution.

It was precisely such simple and unadorned instructions that could seal off all of Su Yue's escape routes.

Shanghai had used a similar strategy back then, attempting to completely surround Su Yue, but failed due to not being truly watertight.

But this time...

Su Yue's opponents were no longer what they used to be, and the possibility of him escaping was almost zero.

Liu Longshi was full of confidence in this.

No matter how strong Su Yue was, he was ultimately just a single person.

As long as he sealed off Su Yue's escape routes, Su Yue would have nowhere to run.

Even if he were a god, he would inevitably be trapped here today.

...

However, inside Factory Building 4 in Zone C.

"...this could be Su Yue's tactic to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"

"While searching, make sure to hold your posts firmly!"

The agent heard Liu Longshi's instructions.

And just then, footsteps came from behind him.

"They're here!"

"Where is Su Yue?!"

With the arrival of support forces, the agent's unease gradually dissipated. He knew that his persistence was not in vain but carried significant meaning.

Su Yue had never left this area; the two unusual noises earlier were definitely not accidental but some kind of carefully designed signal. As long as Su Yue could be captured at this moment, the subsequent tasks would become much easier.

In this situation, Su Yue's escape path was almost completely sealed off. As more support personnel poured in, Su Yue's chances of escape would become increasingly slim.

In other words, time was working in his favor.

However, just as he was about to exchange information with the incoming colleagues, he suddenly paused. He carefully examined this colleague and asked, "Which zone do you belong to?"

The person was slightly taken aback, then rolled up his sleeve, revealing the identification band on his wrist.

"What about you?" the person counter-questioned.

Seeing this, the agent felt slightly relieved and also showed his wristband to prove his identity. After confirming each other, both of them nodded.

"Su Yue should be hiding in this factory building," he said. "Just now, sounds came from both the left and right sides, first the right, then the left."

"That's right, Su Yue must be hiding in one of these two sides," the colleague echoed.

"Then I'll be responsible for the left side, and you for the right side, and we'll flush him out together," the agent suggested, although he still inwardly believed Su Yue was hiding on the left, unaware that it was actually a smokescreen deliberately set up by Su Yue.

However, the newly arrived colleague grabbed him, advising, "There's no need to rush."

"That's Su Yue, after all," the colleague's words carried a hint of awe.

The agent was startled by this, then took a deep breath and nodded. He understood that the current situation was not entirely within his control.

"I was too impatient," he admitted.

The colleague expressed understanding, acknowledging that under such immense pressure, anyone could lose their composure due to excitement and anticipation. Fortunately, the agent quickly regained his composure and analyzed the crux of the problem.

He patted his colleague's shoulder and said, "Once they all arrive, Su Yue won't be able to fly away even with wings."

"He might be waiting for us to make a mistake, but we must never give him such an opportunity," his words were firm and powerful.

The two exchanged smiles, their eyes revealing a firm determination to capture Su Yue. Although they hadn't faced Su Yue head-on yet, Su Yue's legendary stories alone were enough to fill them with awe. However, they also knew that Su Yue was ultimately just a person, not invincible.

Soon after, more footsteps were heard, and a full twenty people rushed into the Fourth Warehouse in Zone C. These agents all harbored personal motives, eager to be the first to capture Su Yue and thus achieve great merit.

"We're here!" they shouted in unison, their morale high.

"Search begins!" Following the Team Leader's command, over twenty people quickly spread out within the factory building, their thermal imaging devices not missing any possible hiding place.

They firmly believed that no matter how cunning Su Yue was, he couldn't escape the detection of these high-tech devices. At the same time, the Team Leader also reminded them to remain calm and to immediately request support if they found Su Yue's trace, to ensure a successful arrest.

However, time passed minute by minute, but Su Yue's trace remained undiscovered. Some even began searching the areas their colleagues were responsible for, trying to find a clue.

"Found him?"

"Is Su Yue even here?"

"Were we lured away from the mountain?"

"Who found Su Yue first? Are you sure you saw him?"

As time elapsed, their morale gradually wore down, and they felt lost and helpless in the face of the fact that they couldn't find Su Yue. They were completely unaware that Su Yue had long since left the factory building without anyone noticing.

...

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Liu Longshi's gaze was fixed on the computer screen that had just been cracked. The five characters displayed in black text on a white background instantly made his face turn extremely grim.

"Will you like it?" he murmured to himself, his heart filled with complex emotions.

Liu Longshi stared at the text before him and suddenly realized with a start that he had fallen into Su Yue's meticulously arranged trap. Since being promoted to the second-in-command of the Security Bureau, he had never encountered such a predicament; the anger and anxiety of being played like a puppet, long absent, surged into his heart once more.

He took a deep breath, trying to steady his mind in the complete silence of the room. As the commander, he had to remain calm first, because he knew that everyone's heart was shaken by this sudden truth at this moment.

Su Yue... this cunning fellow, had long foreseen all of this happening.

"Calm down... steady yourself..." Liu Longshi repeatedly reminded himself in his heart, "Liu Longshi, you must stay calm! Think about what Su Yue's purpose is in doing this!"

Through a series of self-suggestions, Liu Longshi gradually regained his composure and quickly saw through Su Yue's intentions. Su Yue was stalling for time! He knew of his existence and understood that he would be responsible for the follow-up matters, so he deliberately set up this trap to lure him in.

"So that's it!" Liu Longshi suddenly understood, and many links that were previously unclear now became clear.

Su Yue had been lurking in the Security Bureau for a long time under the identity of Feng Chuan. Since the lockdown incident, he had been preparing for the day he might be exposed. Although Liu Longshi had anticipated that Su Yue would be prepared, he never expected his preparations to be so precise and so targeted!

Agents, the Security Bureau, the Action Team, these members were elites among elites; they would think carefully before taking action. For example, the dust under the cabinet that Is Hunter had discovered earlier, or the iron door that Gao Xiang had found... these were all the results of their thinking.

"Su Yue knows deeply..." Liu Longshi murmured to himself, "He knows that if it were just an ordinary room, I would definitely be vigilant. But if it's something we discovered ourselves, if we went through great difficulties to find it, then our vigilance will be greatly reduced!"

"Could it be that we are the prey?" Liu Longshi exclaimed, "Su Yue, how is your mind structured?"

At this moment, Liu Longshi's heart was filled with shock. He never expected that even under such cautious circumstances, he had still fallen into Su Yue's trap. It was as if Su Yue had arranged everything in advance, and his every move was under his control.

The walkie-talkie in Liu Longshi's hand was clenched so tightly it creaked, and the anger in his heart was almost bursting out. However, no matter what, they had now discovered Su Yue's trace, and his course of action was not wrong in the general direction.

Liu Longshi comforted himself in this way, but just then, he suddenly froze, and an ominous premonition surged into his heart.

"No mistake?" he said to himself.

In the silent environment, his voice was particularly clear. Liu Longshi seemed to realize something and quickly picked up the walkie-talkie, urgently shouting, "Zone C respond! Repeat, Zone C respond immediately!"

After speaking, he turned off the communication switch and anxiously waited for the other party's response. However, the air fell silent again.

Gao Xiang looked at Liu Longshi's expression, his eyes widening, realizing the seriousness of the matter. Kang Shuwei also stood beside Gao Xiang, silently muttering, "This is bad."

A few seconds passed, and Liu Longshi received no message. This result already portended something ominous. He strode quickly through the greenery in the factory building and ran towards the door, his footsteps echoing in the factory building and getting faster and faster.

As soon as he stepped out of the factory building entrance, he raised the walkie-talkie again, his tone no longer carrying the previous impulsiveness and anger, but rather a hint of helplessness.

"Zone C... respond," he said.

Soon, a response came through the walkie-talkie: "This is Zone C. We... haven't found Su Yue's trace... We've searched everywhere! He... he's disappeared!"

Hearing this, Liu Longshi fell silent. He understood Su Yue's method; it was nothing more than utilizing a simple time difference. However, it was almost impossible to seize this opportunity. Even Liu Longshi himself hadn't thought of this reason, but it had happened anyway.

Was this a miracle? Scenes related to Su Yue flashed through Liu Longshi's mind: Dihao Building, ZC5546, Albert Prison, and so on. The mark Su Yue had left on this world was too deep; he had challenged too many impossibilities, yet his own thinking was still limited.
