The Female CEO Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 1183: Chapter 370: Empty Fort Strategy?

Compared to Feng Wuqing and Shi Jian’en, Liu Xi still needs more training; compared to the other stable "Blade"-level assassins, Li Tianyu needs more training as well. From this, it can be seen that Yue Yao is not only flexible in her headship but also considers the skill levels of her team members.

"Tell me about the situation now." The waiter came over, and Li Yan casually ordered a cup of coffee.

"Yes!" Li Tianyu immediately began to report.

It wasn’t very difficult for them to come to Chong City from Li Country. Based on the confessions of the group members they captured in Li Country, they had traced Park Changnan’s hideout in Chong City. However, Park Changnan is well-informed and knows that his base and headquarters in Li Country have been taken down by unknown assassin groups, so he is extremely cautious, never leaving his home, without a single movement, as if he doesn’t live there and has already left.

Clearly, Park Changnan could guess that since someone has targeted his headquarters, there must be someone coming for his foothold in Yun Country. Yet he probably believes in the principle that ’the more dangerous the place, the safer it is’, so even though everything is handled with extreme caution and he remains indoors every day, he hasn’t left the premises.

After Liu Xi and Li Tianyu found Park Changnan, they avoided alerting him and opted for a wait-and-see approach by conducting prolonged surveillance. They confirmed that he was indeed residing in that house, along with two others. After several days of inaction with no visitors or intention to relocate, they now came to find Li Yan.

"You remember the address correctly, don’t you? We’re going over to take care of it tonight."

"I dare not forget." As Li Tianyu said this, he pulled out a black bag from under the table and lowered his voice, saying, "This is your weapon."

This is the weapon Yue Yao arranged for the logistics team to deliver, and it had already been handed over to them. Li Yan only requested a gun, not a bulletproof vest.

He put the gun away ceremoniously, then drank his coffee, "Wait for me at the door later; I’ll go call the others down."

Zheng Tian looked relaxed the past two days, seemingly calm, but he was actually the most anxious. This was because, unlike others with work or tasks, he had a vested interest that couldn’t be ignored. However, he didn’t pressure Li Yan and maintained an indifferent facade.

Upon hearing there was news and they would act tonight, the old man was very excited and immediately summoned Hu Yingxiong, Jackman, and his bodyguards.

Hu Yingxiong and Jackman specialize in this; the two bodyguards are confidants who followed him out years ago, while the assistant handling other matters was not called.

Duan Haibo was idle, so he suggested tagging along, assuring he wouldn’t hold anyone back or alert the target. Li Yan didn’t mind, and Zheng Tian considered Duan Haibo an esteemed friend of Li Yan, regardless of whether he was an assassin, assuming he had decent skills. Although he believed his manpower was sufficient, having an extra hand for support was reassuring.

...

A group of seven, plus Li Tianyu who led the way, made eight people, divided into two cars. Li Tianyu arrived via taxi, while Zheng Tian’s two cars were rented by his assistant locally. It was indeed more convenient having someone from the group driving.

However, there was a small inconvenience as they couldn’t use navigation or ask for directions to avoid leaving traces at the scene. So, Li Tianyu’s memory of the route and the map Li Yan bought were being utilized. Seeing the map, Hu Yingxiong and Jackman still felt a bit uneasy, puzzled how Li Yan had gotten hold of a customized Chong City map.

Not wanting to alert the counterpart, Liu Xi and Li Tianyu had been conducting cautious surveillance over the past few days. Returning, they stopped the cars nearby and walked discreetly to the site.

Park Changnan’s residence, a three-story private house with a small yard, was an unplanned self-built house by locals bought or rented by him—it was unclear which. Judging by no one leaving the house, the food supply inside seemed ample.

The surveillance spot used by Liu Xi and Li Tianyu was a similar private house a short distance away in the neighborhood they had identified as the best observation point. Initially, they had wanted to rent it for three months, but finding no residents or rental/sale signs, and unable to locate the owner, they confirmed it was vacant and moved in temporarily.

Due to the monotonous surveillance compared to Park Changnan’s group, they dared not make any bold moves. After staying for a few days, externally there was no indication of anyone inside. This was one reason they remained unnoticed by Park Changnan’s side — they never used the main entrance for entry, instead scaled walls from unmonitored angles for occasional access.

Upon all arriving, under the cover of nighttime, they entered discreetly in groups. Besides Zheng Tian, who needed assistance due to age, everyone else managed without a hitch.

Liu Xi was unaware who Queen had sent from domestically to assist on the mission, and was thoroughly surprised and pleased upon seeing Li Yan. He exchanged pleasantries with Li Yan, simply nodding to the others. With so many having come along, both he and Li Tianyu were led by Li Yan and had no cause to question.
