Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared

Chapter 260: Chapter 260: Thunder Strike

Five days later, the city was quietly undergoing changes, starting with the chief security officer going away for a work report and not coming back, purportedly for training at the headquarters.

Following this, further action was taken. Assisted by Gao Lu, individuals from Elite Club and those who had contact with Gao Lu were arrested and secretly interrogated according to the list. The swift operation left little room for response.

Detained overnight and interrogated relentlessly, these people’s defenses were easy to break through. Then, Zhuo Hang obtained many testimonies and additional Elite Club staff listings, eliminating the need for individual scrutiny.

The next day, Su Hui resumed her earlier duties, taking the team sent from above directly to the Elite Club, controlling everyone inside, and confiscating all documents for investigation.

However, the Elite Club had eyes and ears everywhere in this city. Typically, information would be passed to the Elite Club by the grassroots personnel, who would then distribute it to the relevant parties. Now that the figures in charge of city security were detained by the higher-ups and the Elite Club dismantled, the secret organization’s intelligence network was paralyzed.

Lian Shengxiong was away on a sudden trip abroad early in the morning. His escape was indeed a pity for Su Hui.

For added precision, the higher-ups pulled people from various areas to join in, led by Su Hui and Zhuo Hang. Su Hui, using the Elite Club’s list, was responsible for capturing grassroots and mid-level personnel.

Zhuo Hang, relying on the list provided by Liu Zhendong and Yuan Zhenggang, went after the senior personnel.

Since there were so many grassroots employees, Su Hui first arrested those in charge of security. Once the inside was clear, they could comfortably use the in-house team. This abundance of manpower ensured swift progress.

Within a day and a night, under the wise and heroic leadership of the top, coupled with the combined efforts of Su Hui, Zhuo Hang, and their team, the secret organization was completely uprooted. The rapidness of it all was jaw-dropping.

Last on the list was the capture of the boss. This was indeed a tricky task. Zhuo Hang ordered the nearby division to move forward first. Zhuo Hang and his team would arrive subsequently. They believed that with a few hundred men and superior equipment, capturing the boss should be achievable.

However, when Zhuo Hang arrived at the scene, he was met with a bloody scene. Hundreds from the division were either killed or injured. Everywhere he looked, there was blood and dismembered body parts.

The boss, using his brutal methods, carved a bloody path of escape. It was as if he was trying to tell Zhuo Hang that these men were not enough to capture him.

This dangerous man cannot be allowed to escape. Zhuo Hang immediately ordered surveillance of all highways, ports, airports, and train stations leaving the city. The problem was, how to identify the boss without any pictures?

As for this matter, both Yuan Zhenggang and Liu Zhendong claimed their hands were tied. No one kept a photo of the boss. It was strictly forbidden by the boss himself. Anyone risking a secret photograph would pay with their life.

Next was the turn of the Lengbing Ocean Shipping Company. However, this company conducted legitimate business with proper registration and had no apparent weaknesses.

Zhuo Hang did not act prematurely, but awaited information from Cui Qi. Besides, maintaining the existence of this company was crucial. If the boss’s powers were entirely uprooted, he would likely never step foot into this city again.

Su Hui agreed with this strategy. Using the Lengbing Ocean Company might draw the boss out. He might even be hiding in the company right now.

However, Su Hui guessed wrong. The boss was not hiding in the Lengbing Ocean Company’s premises. He was worried that the company might also be targeted, so he stayed away and was now spending his time in Leng Le’s house.

When Leng Le came home and saw the boss, she was utterly shocked.

"Boss, you..." Leng Le was unaware of the events happening outside, as Zhuo Hang and Su Hui’s operation was carried out in secrecy and swiftly eliminated every obstacle.

The boss smirked slightly: "It’s nothing. It’s just Liu Zhendong and Yuan Zhenggang who betrayed us, turning everything I’ve painstakingly built in this city into a mirage."

"What, I didn’t receive any news, could it be the Elite Club..." Leng Le visibly paled, filled with unease.

To this, the boss nodded: "The Elite Club is also gone. Our grassroots, middle, and high-level personnel in this area have all been swept away. Fortunately, your end is safe."

Hearing this, Leng Le breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the boss’s decision to separate the black and white sectors of the secret organization was truly wise. Otherwise, Leng Le wouldn’t have slipped away either.

The connection between Leng Le and the Elite Club was maintained through communications sent overseas, which would then relay the information back to the Elite Club. Given that Su Hui and Zhuo Hang had to complete their tasks in the shortest time possible, they focused on domestic targets, allowing Leng Le time to have her overseas subordinates urgently destroy all data.

Regaining her composure, Leng Le could feel the boss’s rage. But she had to inform him of a significant discovery.

Suddenly, the boss snorted disdainfully: "I didn’t expect Liu Zhendong and Yuan Zhenggang to be this audacious. They think they can sacrifice themselves for the safety of their children. I’m going to make them regret it."

Leng Le knew the boss was about to seek revenge and quickly warned: "If I’m not wrong, their children are probably under protection by the higher-ups, secretly kept away. It’s hard for us to find them. It’s also very likely they’ve set a trap for you."

"I might not be able to touch those within the country, but I can reach Liu Yao overseas." After saying so, the boss stared at Leng Le with stern eyes: "You’re Liu Yao’s close friend. You help me find Liu Yao. You must do so before she returns to the country. I’ll take it from there."

Seeing the boss’s fury, Leng Le knew if the boss indeed took action, Liu Yao would most likely not be spared. After careful thought, she said, "Boss, I have another important discovery. I went to Gu Fan’s house just now and found him studying two blueprints. It’s very likely those we are looking for."

"Two blueprints, how does this boy have two blueprints?" The boss was confused.

Leng Le continued: "I tracked Gu Fan’s movements today. He first went to Luo Jingrong’s, then Lin Xi’s. It seems he persuaded Luo Jingrong and Lin Xi to consolidate the blueprints."

"Excellent, I was afraid if one was threatened, the other would flee with the blueprints. Now this boy has gathered the two blueprints together." The boss chuckled coldly, appearing supremely confident.

Leng Le added: "Boss, if you trust me, I can handle Gu Fan and acquire the blueprints. You don’t need to get involved personally. Given the present circumstances, it’s best if you keep a low profile."

The boss took a moment to consider and found Leng Le’s suggestion reasonable. He also trusted her to handle the matter well.
