629: Break into the four major families.

Soon, they established contact.

"Reporting, Leader. We investigated the store. There were only guards inside... We found a note in the store's drawer..."

The Leader's voice came through the radio.

"Go west. Are there traitors?"

"What is your current situation?"

Lu Jing reported the situation regarding Instructor Qin and his group again.

He also reported their situation over the past few days.

Hearing that they had blown up a poppy factory and triggered a war between these four families, the Leader on the other end remained silent for a good while.

"Have you searched those families? Could they be holding the people captive in their homes?"

Hearing the Leader's words, Lu Jing replied.

"We have been gathering intelligence these past few days, but we haven't heard anything about that. We also planned to do that. However, we haven't managed to sneak in yet. We currently have five people here..."

Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing had indeed discussed sneaking in earlier, and they had also asked Uncle Dao to inquire if these factories were hiring.

The factories were located in the front, and the family members lived in the back.

Xiao Niannian also contacted some birds to gather information, but they found no clues.

"Think of another way. The higher-ups instructed that no matter what method you use, you must find these Experts. As long as they are alive, you must bring them back..."

Hearing this news, Lu Jing immediately replied.

"Yes."

Listening to these words, Xiao Niannian felt something was wrong. There was nothing wrong with the mission itself, but these Experts were betrayed by a traitor, and now they couldn't even find a trace of them... She had felt before that this seemed like a setup.

However, they were Soldiers and obeyed military orders.

"I will contact Old Qin again using the radio."

Lu Jing contacted Instructor Qin and informed him of the situation here and the orders from the Commanders above.

"Old Lu, you must be careful. We will go check the western side..."

After Instructor Qin spoke with Lu Jing for a while, he spoke again.

"Old Lu, there's something strange about this mission..."

Instructor Qin's words made Xiao Niannian blink. She had originally planned to analyze this matter with Lu Jing.

"I know, something is definitely wrong..."

After they finished speaking, Lu Jing looked at Xiao Niannian.

"Were you just about to tell me about this?"

"Yes."

Xiao Niannian admitted it directly.

"Did these four Experts really return, or were they impersonated? Is it possible that the situation with the four Experts is real, but someone in our Military Unit has also developed a problem..."

Xiao Niannian asked Lu Jing.

The two of them were currently far away from the other Team Members, who couldn't hear what they were saying.

Lu Jing looked at his wife. She was too perceptive; she noticed these things so quickly.

He also noticed something was wrong, but currently, he could only contact the Commanders above using the radio.

Moreover, the situation was still unclear, and he couldn't call back and make Grandpa and Grandpa Gu worry.

"There's a phone not far away. I want to hook up the phone line to eavesdrop..."

Xiao Niannian described the situation.

However, wiretapping a phone takes a long time, and sometimes, even when wiretapping, you might not hear the content.

Furthermore, if the phone fails to connect, these families will become even more suspicious.

"There is another way: we sneak into the Four Great Families and install wiretaps."

Xiao Niannian stated her idea.

They had brought all sorts of equipment with them this time.

"Wiretapping the phone won't work right now. They have too many phones here, making wiretapping inconvenient. However, installing wiretaps is an idea we can consider."

"Alternatively, we could find a way to infiltrate the Four Great Families and work there."

But with the Four Great Families in such chaos, even if they sneak in, they won't be able to access core secrets.

Then let's install the wiretaps first.

Xiao Niannian took out many very small wiretaps from her bag.

"The two of us will go. The rest of you stay here and guard. We will return after installing the wiretaps."

She and Lu Jing had the best skills and could successfully retreat.

But Xiao Niannian was still a bit worried about the other Team Members.

Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, Military Doctor Shen immediately objected.

"No, it's too dangerous for just the two of you to go."

"Captain Lu, Captain Xiao, it's too dangerous for just the two of you. Let's go together."

"Let's go together. It's too dangerous for the two of you to go alone. If we go together, we can also provide support."

Hearing these words, Lu Jing looked at them.

"We will first scout the terrain and then draw everything there into a map..."

"No, I disagree. Take us with you, even if we only provide support on the periphery..."

Normally, Military Doctor Shen would definitely trust Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian, but this situation was different. If any danger befell the two of them, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

"Fine. Then the rest of you will provide support on the periphery, and Niannian and I will go inside."

Lu Jing saw Xiao Niannian nod at him and agreed.

They went to the weakest of the families. Although this family was weak, their business was quite successful.

In front of the factory was a gambling house. From a distance, they could hear the lively noise inside.

Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing had previously used binoculars to observe the situation of these factories and had a general understanding in their hearts.

Xiao Niannian drew out the factory's layout.

"Look, this is the layout of this factory, and here are these roads..."

Lu Jing looked at his wife, his heart filled with pride.

He was just about to draw the large map of the factory and the family compound, along with the surrounding roads, suspicious areas, and retreat locations.

Unexpectedly, Niannian had already drawn it, and it was drawn very clearly.

The maps Xiao Niannian drew were already 90% accurate.

Only the interiors of the rooms were not drawn.

"Captain Xiao, you are truly amazing."

"When we return, you all need to learn this too," Xiao Niannian said, looking at them.

Lu Jing checked the time. It was already past two o'clock, which was exactly when these people would be sound asleep.

He made some further arrangements.

"Move out."

Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian disguised themselves, changed their clothes, and altered their faces to look like ordinary people.

Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing quickly climbed over the wall and headed toward the first location they had agreed upon.

Xiao Niannian also listened to the surrounding movements, ready to hide at any moment.

There were several guards here, both visible and hidden, but none of them discovered the pair.

Soon, they searched several areas but found nothing.

Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing decided to go to the Main Residence.

Their target was the study in the Main Residence.

Finding this place was easy; there would be people guarding it twenty-four hours a day.

Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing exchanged hand signals, and Lu Jing nodded at her.
