Chapter 935: Chapter 940 Where Are You

Justin must have been discovered.

There were six people in total, and they were likely all carrying weapons. Unlike in the movies, these people weren’t all wearing black suits, posturing as if to say, "I’m mafia, stay away from me." However, like in the movies, despite their different clothes, each of them had a tense expression, staring fiercely at anyone they saw until they looked away.

Add to that, a few of them had earpieces jammed into their ears, occasionally barking some urgent words. Then, every few dozen meters, there were several more looking for something or someone. Even an ordinary person would notice something was off.

Yang Yi and his group followed the people they felt were suspicious, and before long, they saw five more people hurriedly coming out of another alley.

A person who looked like the leader waved his hand, and both groups started jogging along the street together.

Yang Yi was fast on his feet, but he couldn’t run for fear of alerting the people in front of them.

"They don’t seem like special combat troops, more like organized but untrained people."

Xiao Ran whispered, and Yang Yi glanced over and replied, "Yes, logically speaking, the Cicero Family’s strength is more than this. Although they deal in the business of information, they definitely have dedicated enforcers with combat capabilities. These people... they seem like regular people, not soldiers."

Xiao Ran said, "It doesn’t make sense, why would the Cicero Family send these kinds of people to look for Justin?"

"It’s also normal. If they only know the general area where Justin is hiding, then they can only use a large number of people to conduct a dragnet search. As for a capable combat team, they could be on standby nearby, ready for action. But I suspect whether Justin’s group still has the ability to defend themselves. If he has no protection, then these seemingly unimposing individuals are still capable of taking him down."

After speaking, Yang Yi muttered softly, "I think the Cicero Family’s people have narrowed down their search, but they still haven’t found the exact location."

Xiao Ran whispered back, "How can you tell?"

"If they had found Justin, they wouldn’t need to rush over hastily. If they had confirmed Justin’s location and needed reinforcements, they would not be running so slowly. So, they’re rushing to a place where they need a lot of people to carry out a dragnet search."

After that, Yang Yi suddenly slowed down his pace, then he whispered, "Look, they’ve stopped."

At least thirty people gathered together, and a man with a beer belly and a big beard gestured and said something. After that, the thirty people quickly dispersed, splitting into groups of four or five and scattered in all directions.

Yang Yi let out a sigh of relief and said with some gratitude, "Fortunately, the area is not too small. They’re blocking off a district, not a single building, so we still have a chance."

Having said that, Yang Yi immediately whispered, "Same as before, Kate, Xiao Ran and I are the best in terms of blending in. We’ll pretend to be a couple, and you observe from nearby. We’ll approach those people first, and if they really find Justin, we’ll still have a chance to rescue him."

Kate whispered, "Two people is too few for a fight. Are you sure two is enough?"

Yang Yi sighed, not planning to lead the charge, but now he had no choice but to bite the bullet.

What a joke, three against at least thirty, no, now at least fifty...

Twenty more people showed up, and Yang Yi had no gun, not even a knife. How to deal with these fifty or sixty people, and those were just the ones he could see. Who knew if more would come, or if there were already more in places he couldn’t see.

Yang Yi took Xiao Ran’s hand and then cricked his neck, whispering, "There’s a store here. Buy a knife for me and then follow me, we’ll head over first."

"Understood," Kate whispered.

She fell a few steps behind, then Kate turned and went into a convenience store, while Yang Yi continued forward with Xiao Ran.

Why pretend to be a couple? There was no reason. It was a convenient cover and, besides, Yang Yi would also find an opportunity to use this pretense to his advantage with Kate.

Of course, getting back to the situation at hand, Yang Yi and Xiao Ran really were the best candidates to pretend to be a couple as it would lower the alertness of others the most.

Yang Yi walked with Xiao Ran toward the blockade line.

Even if the Cicero Family was influential and powerful, they couldn’t manage to close down a street and clear everyone away. That’s not the behavior of a family involved in intelligence. So, when Yang Yi and Xiao Ran passed by, the people just glanced at them but didn’t show any excessive reactions.

There were already quite a few pedestrians on the road, most of whom could sense the strange atmosphere and thus chose to quicken their pace and rush past.

Yang Yi and Xiao Ran chatted and laughed, and then he took out his phone and tried to call Justin, but this time the call didn’t go through because Justin’s phone was off.

Yang Yi hung up the phone, then with a smile said, "Justin’s in trouble. He must have realized that the people looking for him are nearby, and he must be hiding somewhere out of sight, which is why he had to turn off his phone to prevent making any noise."

Xiao Ran nodded and asked, "Does it look like he’s somewhere around here?"

Yang Yi looked around and then said with a bitter smile, "This is really troublesome. Let’s be prepared to give up. If we can’t make a move, we’ll leave. If we can wait for Anton and Brian to arrive, our chances are better."

Xiao Ran exhaled and said, "The good news is everyone has spread out. They’ve all gone in to look for Justin. Hmm, it looks like there’s been a conflict."

If you want to search for someone, you have to search, but not everyone would accept strangers searching their shops, so conflicts were common. However, they would usually be quickly subdued by the Cicero Family’s people.

But this time, it seemed different because as Yang Yi and Xiao Ran walked by a shop, they saw a person pulling out a badge, and the commotion was quickly quelled.

Xiao Ran said instinctively, "Could it be the police? Have we made a mistake?"

Yang Yi spoke softly, "We can be even surer now it’s the Cicero Family’s people. If it were the police, would they show the badge after causing dissatisfaction? No, they would present the badge from the beginning. That’s the standard procedure."

It was then that Kate caught up from behind, passing Yang Yi and Xiao Ran but quickly standing on the side of the road, acting as if she didn’t know Yang Yi at all. After waiting for a car to pass, she crossed the street.

Where should they go looking for him? Now, it was time for analysis, but as Yang Yi pretended to admire the scenery while he observed, he noticed something remarkable.

On the corner, a black plastic trash bag filled with garbage on a trash can suddenly moved.
