Hong Kong variety show: Starting from Cold War 1994

Chapter 60 Target locked, tracking expert Shen Sir, activated!

"Sir Shen, is it really her?"

Chen Yongren's voice was filled with disbelief.

"I can't be 100% sure. After all, I've only seen the photo in the file, and it's from a few years ago, but the profile looks somewhat similar. I remember the information says you two broke up about six months ago?"

Chen Yongren's mind was in complete chaos at this moment.

If Mr. Shen is not mistaken, why would May go shopping at a maternity and baby store while heavily pregnant?

Six months ago, she cried and said that she had gotten rid of the child...

Shen Shaofeng's voice pulled him back to reality.

"Ah Ren, there are some things we should ask about while we still have the chance."

After hesitating for a long time, Chen Yongren finally made up his mind: "Sir Shen, may I borrow your phone for a moment?"

Shen Shaofeng took his phone out of his pocket and handed it over.

"Thanks."

Chen Yongren took the phone and dialed a number:

"Feed?"

A familiar female voice came through.

"May...it's me, Ah Ren."

After a brief silence, May's voice rang out again:

"Chen Yongren, why are you calling me? We're done for. I'm busy. I'm hanging up now."

"Wait, I have a question for you. Did you go to a baby store today? Our baby...?"

Before Chen Yongren could finish speaking, May cursed, "Crazy!" and hung up the phone.

Shen Shaofeng couldn't help but cover his forehead—Brother, how can you be so direct? Although I said it was a lie to say I saw May at the baby store, it's absolutely true that she's pregnant!

He smacked Chen Yongren on the head: "You idiot, use your brain! Pregnant women are already prone to emotional outbursts. What do you mean by asking such a blunt question, the kind of guy she sees as a gangster? Oh, you broke up with me before, but now that you know I'm pregnant with your child, you want to get me back?"

Chen Yongren quickly explained, "Uh, that's not what I meant..."

"Forget it, women need to be coaxed slowly. She broke up with you because of your gangster days, but she'll understand once you're back to your old ways."

Having delivered the key information, Shen Shaofeng believed that once May learned Chen Yongren's true identity, she would reconcile with him, so he didn't bother to say anything more.

After all, there are still many things to do.

"That's all for now. I'll come see you again next time. I have to go now."

Shen Shaofeng patted Chen Yongren on the shoulder and left the house.

……

Late at night, at Cai Yuanqi's villa.

"Inspector Cai".

Shen Shaofeng sat down at the bar and greeted Cai Yuanqi.

"Shaofeng, you just called me and said there's been some progress on the doctor's matter?"

Cai Yuanqi poured himself a glass of wine and took a small sip.

"Yes, Inspector Choi, I received word that about 30 hours ago, someone helped a smuggler cross the river from the Lung Kwu Tan area and land using an expensive smuggling route..."

Shen Shaofeng informed Cai Yuanqi of the information he had received from Li Shutang.

Cai Yuanqi, a police officer with thirty years of experience, immediately realized that these guys were definitely not simple.

Because if it were a group like the "Big Circle Boys" (a derogatory term for people from wealthy families) coming to Hong Kong for a fancy meal, they certainly wouldn't be willing to spend US$100,000 just to be transferred to Hong Kong.

"Shaofeng, is your informant trustworthy? Or is he just making things up?"

Shen Shaofeng gave the answer he had prepared beforehand: "It was through Li Wenbin's old connections that we got the information, so it should be reliable. Didn't you keep telling me to maintain a good relationship with him, Inspector Cai?"

Cai Yuanqi nodded: "Yes, you did a good job. At the previous press conference, he was obviously building momentum for you."

Then he changed the subject: "Let's put that aside for now. The most urgent thing is to find out who those bastards are, whether they're the doctor's group or not! I won't allow them to cause trouble on my turf."

Shen Shaofeng sighed, feigning a perfectly measured predicament: "Inspector Cai, that's precisely the problem. Tuen Mun is sparsely populated, and there's practically no road surveillance. Who knows where they're hiding right now?"

"More importantly, my goal is not only to deal with these bastards, but also to capture the doctor alive if possible and uncover their international network and funding channels. So an open dragnet won't work."

"So, what's your suggestion?"

"Inspector Cai, the more intelligence channels the better, so I need you to leverage your connections and gather as much intelligence as possible."

"Also, if you trust me, arrange for a clean and sensible team to be under my command..."

Shen Shaofeng frankly made two requests, both of which Cai Yuanqi had promised in advance when assigning the task.

It's unreasonable to expect a horse to run without feeding it.

Seeing Cai Yuanqi deep in thought, Shen Shaofeng continued, "Once we pinpoint their possible hideout, I will lead this group of men in a swift, precise, and ruthless raid. Capture them alive if possible, and I will personally interrogate them for information!"

"Once it's done, wipe them all out. The credit will go to the police force; and the cyber intelligence behind them will naturally belong to you, Inspector Choi."

A brief silence.

The only sound was the gentle clinking of Cai Yuanqi's wine glass against the marble bar; he was weighing the pros and cons.

"I do have a few suitable candidates in my hands," Cai Yuanqi said after a while.

"Clean background, outstanding ability, specializes in handling highly confidential tasks, and is only responsible to me personally."

"Shaofeng, I can hand over temporary command of this team to you, and you will be fully responsible for this operation, but I have two conditions."

Shen Shaofeng sat up straight respectfully: "Please speak, Inspector Cai."

"First, this squad will only be responsible for the actual operations; you'll handle locating the target yourself. Of course, I'll provide intelligence support."

"In addition, I will assign someone to act as my eyes and ears to ensure that the operation does not deviate from the established objectives. He will not interfere with your specific command, but will only provide an emergency communication channel between us when necessary."

Shen Shaofeng nodded in agreement: "Understood. What's the second point?"

Sending a military supervisor is perfectly reasonable.

Cai Yuanqi raised his second finger.

"Secondly, this matter, from beginning to end, has absolutely nothing to do with me, the Commissioner of Police. All potential risks and consequences will be borne by you and your temporary team, understand?"

Making the cuts in advance to prevent getting burned was exactly what Shen Shaofeng had expected from Cai Yuanqi.

He pretended to hesitate for a moment, then gritted his teeth and made up his mind before stepping down from the swivel chair and standing with his legs together.

"No problem, I guarantee I'll complete the mission, Officer Cai."

"Good! Let's drink, Shaofeng!"

……

As it turns out, it's not difficult for both the legitimate and criminal worlds to mobilize their intelligence networks to track down a group of outsiders.

Two days later, Yuen Long, Fu Yip Street.

Shen Shaofeng sat in the driver's seat of an ordinary Nissan sedan. Through the windshield, he saw a man in sunglasses come out of a supermarket, carrying several large bags of goods.

This man was burly, but with a buzz cut, he was clearly not Sang Bang.

Seeing the man in sunglasses get into a taxi, Shen Shaofeng shifted gears, accelerated, and slowly followed.
