Chapter 2402: Chapter 2401: Tracking
Ling Feng listened and nodded, "Your idea is indeed feasible."
Smack smiled, "Of course, with my technology, tracking the source of their signals is very easy!"
"Are you sure? I have a tech expert with me too, should I have her assist you?" Ling Feng asked.
"Um..."
Smack thought for a moment, "Alright, for absolute security, it’s okay to have your people come over."
After saying this, he raised his head, "But you first need to find these people’s location and collect their signals!"
"No problem!"
Ling Feng nodded, "I’ll be heading to Southeast Asia soon."
"Great, I’ll have the signal collection equipment sent to you right away!"
After Smack finished speaking, he picked up the phone next to him and dialed his secretary’s number.
Even though it was late at night, the secretary quickly answered the phone, and upon learning of Smack’s request, immediately agreed.
True enough, because of Smack’s emphasis, his subordinates worked efficiently, and in just over an hour, a helicopter arrived in the courtyard.
Soon, someone delivered a machine about the size of an oven.
"Mr. Ling, with this you can gather telecommunication signals within a few hundred meters around, and it’s sufficient." Smack said.
"Excellent."
Ling Feng nodded, placed the instrument into the Space Ring, and said, "I didn’t expect to gain something by coming here. I’ll have Ah Min come and find you later, and we’ll work together to uncover the mastermind soon!"
"Okay!"
Smack nodded heavily, feeling very proud to collaborate with Ling Feng.
As it was getting late, Ling Feng left Smack’s home and returned to Washington D.C.
Afterward, he shared his ideas, and Gu Li laughed, "Boss, analyzing and decrypting signals doesn’t necessarily require Ah Min herself. She now has hundreds of professionals under her, any one of whom can handle this job!"
"Is that so?"
Ling Feng nodded upon hearing this, "That’s convenient then, I was planning to take Ah Min to Southeast Asia anyway, so I’ll have someone else liaise with Smack!"
The decision was made, and Ling Feng and Gu Li hastily returned to Lingyun Island.
Once there, they found Ah Min, who promptly arranged for two people to open Teleportation for them, dispatching them to America.
Afterward, Ling Feng and she left Lingyun Island and teleported to Liya’s palace.
Upon arrival, it was just dusk, and after hearing Ling Feng’s words, Liya realized the seriousness of the situation and said to him, "Their targets are so big, even if mobile, they can’t completely hide their traces, they must be detectable."
"I think so too, but the Americans aren’t fools, they’ve certainly thought of this issue, so they might have other preparations!"
Ling Feng furrowed his brows and continued, "Now we just need to use divergent thinking to consider what the Americans might be thinking!"
"Hmm."
Ah Min nodded and thought for a moment before saying, "Perhaps we can also consider what we would do to ensure personnel movement here without drawing attention."
"Let me think about it; I’m quite familiar with the local customs here."
Liya said, sinking into thought.
Ling Feng and Ah Min didn’t idle either, seriously contemplating all possibilities.
After a long time, Liya raised her head, "I suddenly thought of a possibility, it might help."
"What is it?"
Ling Feng asked.
"In Southeast Asia, where the mountains are tall and forests dense, there’s a peculiar job that often involves moving through the forests, changing locations every few days, it’s highly mobile!"
Liya said, then continued, "Rubber tapping workers!"
"Does this work require a lot of people?" Ling Feng asked.
"Not excessively, a group might consist of as few as ten or as many as dozens."
Liya thought for a moment, "But a team of two hundred is not uncommon, they don’t necessarily have to be together!"
"That’s true."
Ling Feng nodded, "Next, we’ll focus on some rubber plantations."
"I’ll have someone investigate a few large rubber plantations in our country and neighboring others." Liya nodded.
"Thank you for your efforts." Ling Feng said.
Liya smiled, "It’s nothing, I’m part of Ling Corporation too; we can’t allow anyone to use any schemes against us!"
Quickly, Liya’s subordinates brought a lot of materials, and Ah Min sorted out the addresses and confirmed the coordinates.
Night had already fallen, but Ling Feng couldn’t sit still and immediately set out with Ah Min.
The two ascended into the sky, disappearing from view, and only then did Liya go back to her bedchamber with a hint of melancholy.
...
...
Ling Feng and Ah Min didn’t idle all night, using Ghost Dragon’s high-speed flight, they inspected eight rubber plantations, focusing on their worker dormitories.
Unfortunately, those people were all dark-skinned, roughly finger-jointed laborers, absolutely not the assassins trained by Americans.
Moreover, Ling Feng found no weapons or any other notable items among them.
When the sky brightened, Ling Feng and Ah Min sat on a mountain peak, watching sunlight spill over the land, once again deep in thought.
"Liya Princess’s hypothesis seems inaccurate, are we stuck in an habitual mindset?" Ah Min said.
Ling Feng looked at her, "What do you mean?"
"Southeast Asia’s forests are dense, when brought up, we immediately think of the Golden Triangle and tropical rainforests, others probably do too." Ah Min said.
Ling Feng nodded, "Yes, it’s a prevailing impression."
"But what if the Americans take an unconventional path, not in the forests but roaming various cities?" Ah Min said.
Roaming various cities?
Ling Feng furrowed his brow and asked, "How could they achieve such mobility without drawing attention?"
"If it were me, I would organize everyone into a tourist group, renting six tourist buses would be enough!" Ah Min said.
"Oh?"
Ling Feng’s eyes lit up, "Under the guise of tourism, always on the road, providing training along the way!"
"Yes, at least I can think of this method, Americans probably can too!" Ah Min nodded.
"Excellent!"
Ling Feng became a bit excited, reaching out to pat her head, "This is indeed a direction, I’ll immediately call Gu Li and have him arrange an investigation!"
Ling Corporation has already taken control of many government agencies in Southeast Asia, finding where bus caravans have appeared is relatively easy.
So within an hour, Ling Feng’s phone had received over a dozen leads!
