Chapter 265: Chapter 264 Signal Source

Yang Yi listened with a sense of liberation, having never thought that intelligence could be gathered in such a way.

Zhang Yong cleared his throat and said, "All the guards are dead? Give me more details, buddy."

"There’s a mercenary group called ’Absolute Power,’ which you’ve definitely never heard of because it was just established this year. Rookies, newcomers. They killed all the guards around the target, so now there’s no one left to protect him, and he can only hide in Las Vegas, too scared to come out."

Zhang Yong laughed and said, "I’ve decided to take on this task and try my luck, so tell me, who exactly is the target?"

"Boer Stupike, a banker with a net worth of over ten billion, son-in-law of the Rockefeller Family. But you don’t need to worry about his background; there are more powerful people after him. An urgent task was issued three days ago to take out Boer Stupike in Las Vegas. They just want results, no questions asked about the process. All agents went crazy over it, but in the end, only three groups with the guts and credit took on the task. They want money more than their lives. Now, the result is that the Absolute Power Mercenary Group made the first move; they took out the target’s guards, but they were all wiped out as well."

Zhang Yong took a deep breath and said, "And then?"

"Then the target fled, but just tonight, the intelligence was updated. The target is at the Tara Casino Hotel. It’s likely that Absolute Power has already made a move, but up until now, there has been no declaration from Absolute Power of task completion, which means the target is still alive, and you still have a chance."

Just then, the person on the phone suddenly said, "Wait, wait, buddy, there’s an update on the intelligence. Wow, another team from Absolute Power is dead, and the target has escaped again, and it’s on Highway 15, probably heading to Los Angeles, buddy! You’re in luck, the reward’s gone up to fifty million! Pay on delivery, dead or alive, I suggest you get moving now, try your luck, but you’d better be quick. Those hitmen surely won’t want to miss this chance, now that the target has no protection, those who only strike from the shadows won’t let this opportunity slip away."

Zhang Yong said excitedly, "Great, just great, send me the information, I need to get moving quickly now."

"Go to my website to download the photo, you remember it, right?"

"I remember, that’s it, I’m not going to talk to you anymore, buddy, I need to move fast."

Zhang Yong hung up the phone, then his expression changed, and he said urgently, "Stop the car! Just pull over and stop!"

Yang Yi slammed on the brakes, and Boer, who had been sound asleep, immediately woke up, shouting, "What’s happening? What’s happening?"

Yang Yi had been listening all along and shouted, "Get out, take off your clothes! Quick!"

Zhang Yong was tapping his head, exclaiming anxiously, "How did they know? Fuck! How did they know?"

Boer, completely dumbfounded, asked, "Why take off my clothes?"

Yang Yi exclaimed urgently, "Just do it quickly!"

After yelling at Boer, Yang Yi said solemnly, "Whatever your source of information is, he didn’t report the license plate or car model just now, so they must not be tracking the car. But they knew Boer was on Highway 15 and also figured out that we’re heading to Los Angeles. How did they do that?"

Xiao Ran said gravely, "Could it be phone tracking?"

Yang Yi turned to Boer, who had already got out of the car and started undressing with a clueless expression.

Boer had already changed his clothes, and even changed again after checking into the Tara Casino Hotel.

After shouting at Boer, Yang Yi said with extreme tension, "What kind of electronic signal can roughly track a person’s movements without being able to pinpoint them accurately? If the tracking were exact, then Boer wouldn’t have lasted until now, so his phone isn’t being monitored. Before staying at the Tara Casino Hotel, we were also fine."

Xiao Ran exclaimed urgently, "It must be a tracking device in the clothes or shoes given by the Tara Casino."

Yang Yi shook his head repeatedly, saying, "No, that doesn’t make sense. If Boer’s client didn’t want to betray him, why put a tracker on him? If they wanted to betray him, as they did later, just calling someone over would suffice, why bother with a tracker? And whatever the tracker is, as long as it’s installed, it’s definitely a very accurate kind, so how could it be unable to track our exact whereabouts?"

Yang Yi really couldn’t figure it out, because no matter how he tried to explain it, it didn’t make sense.

Meanwhile, Boer had already taken off his clothes and shoes, standing in his underwear, shivering in the cold wind.

Xiao Ran had turned away, while Zhang Yong was anxiously checking Boer’s clothes, then shook his head at Yang Yi, saying, "I didn’t find anything, but we have to find this thing."

After speaking, Zhang Yong shouted at Boer, "Take it all off! Everything!"

Boer had a pained expression as he released his crossed arms in front of his chest and timidly took off his last piece of modesty.

Naked, Boer squatted down on the ground, and Zhang Yong, not minding the dirt, also checked Boer’s underwear, then shook his head frantically, saying, "Nothing, what could it be? Where could it be? I don’t understand this shit, aren’t you guys spies? Don’t you know what it could be?"

Boer looked at his watch and then quickly covered his privates again.

Yang Yi had an epiphany and then commanded Boer, "Give me your watch! The watch! Why aren’t you wearing Patek Philippe?"

A Patek Philippe is a noble among watches, royal even. Considering Boer’s wealth and status, it would be odd if he didn’t wear a Patek Philippe or a Vacheron Constantin.

But Boer was wearing a digital watch, although it had a steel band and looked quite luxurious, it was still a quartz watch.

How did Yang Yi know that Boer wasn’t wearing an extremely expensive mechanical watch? Because it was late at night and when Boer had checked the time earlier, he had pressed a button and the watch lit up.

Boer took off his watch and said, "I wear a digital watch when playing cards because it has an alarm function that I can set to remind me of the time when I forget it while playing. This is a digital watch, but it’s expensive, don’t think that..."

Yang Yi held the watch in his hands, turning it over and examining it closely. Although he found nothing unusual, he still said gravely, "This watch, I get it now, has a power source, an antenna, but it doesn’t always send signals. Continuously sending signals would be easily detected, not to mention a drain on the battery. It only transmits a location signal at certain moments, like when you press the backlight for the night glow. Did you replace the battery?"

Boer’s eyes widened in shock, then he instinctively nodded, saying, "About... about two months ago, the watch ran out of power, and I had the butler replace the battery for me."
