Chapter 239: Getting The Location
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the morning, with a loud bang, a net trap in the garden was triggered.
The children rushed out curiously to check the situation. Qiu Tong led Ke Le and the other mercenaries to surround the net trap with guns.
Qiu Xingyuan pressed the lift button and the net trap slowly descended.
Qiu Tong frowned in confusion when she saw the familiar figure. “Lin Shan?”
Qiu Xingyu and Qiu Xingqiao blocked the door with disappointed expressions. Shao An retreated to the back with the president.
Lin Shan was in a sorry state. She stamped her feet and shook off the mud covering her body. She glared at Qiu Tong resentfully.
The attempted kidnapping of the Qiu family children failed. Shu Xian’s factory was facing suspension, and Mayor Shen was putting pressure on them on behalf of a high-ranking government official.
Shu Xian had been exceptionally irritable recently. From time to time, he would drink excessively and beat Lin Shan up.
Lin Shan blamed everything on Qiu Tong. She had stolen a few bottles of paint and harmful chemicals from the weapons factory. She had wanted to spray red paint on the outer wall of the Qiu family’s villa so that the surrounding neighbors could see it. She wanted to embarrass Qiu Tong!
However, Lin Shan did not expect to be strung up in a net the moment she sneaked in.
Qiu Tong crossed her arms and looked at Lin Shan coldly. Her tone was exasperated and mocking. “Shao An, please hand her over to the police.”
“Lin Shan broke into a house with harmful chemicals. She’ll probably be in custody for a few months.”
Shao An immediately called the police chief. When Lin Shan heard their conversation, she panicked and hurriedly retorted, “Do you have evidence?”
“I was just passing by.”
Qiu Tong pointed at the surveillance camera under the streetlamp and explained kindly, “Your crime was recorded. Explain it to the police.”
Ke Le ran out of the room and looked at Qiu Tong. “Someone’s calling!”
Qiu Tong realized that it was the gangster’s phone. She ignored Lin Shan and ran over. The children and Ye Luan were already gathered in the living room. They held their breaths and stared nervously at the tracking system.
The phone rang three times before Qiu Tong called back.
Beep beep—The call went through. Qiu Xingyu immediately typed on her computer keyboard to track and lock onto the location of the caller. Qiu Tong gestured for the gangster to stall for time.
The gangster’s voice was hoarse. “Boss, I still need a few days.”
There was a long pause on the other end. An ear-piercing electric current rang out. The voice that had been processed by the voice changer sounded strange and terrifying. “Ye Luan, are you listening?”
“Someone will be coming to get you tonight.”
“Your little traps are so childish. They can’t stop me.”
Ye Luan clenched his fists and shouted into the phone, “I won’t let you succeed…”
Qiu Tong’s hairs stood on end. She covered Ye Luan’s mouth with her hand, trying to control his agitation.
This call was like a pitch-black abyss that engulfed everyone in the living room. Qiu Tong’s scalp felt numb, as if there were two pairs of eyes secretly peeping at them. Jin Yang frowned and walked to Qiu Xingyu’s side to look at the screen. “How is it?”
Qiu Xingyu’s palms were covered in sweat. She shook her head and pointed at the flashing codes on the screen.
“The call was too short. I could only track that the other party is in S City. Then, he discovered me and I lost the trail.”
Qiu Xingyu pouted in frustration. This was the first time she had experienced defeat.
Jin Yang bent over and hugged her. “You have already done an amazing job.”
As the youngest hacker in the country, Qiu Xingyu’s skills were considered outstanding in the industry.
Having been coaxed, Qiu Xingyu smiled brightly. She raised two fingers and waved them. “Although he escaped my tracking, I planted a virus code on him.”
“I designed that code. No anti-virus software will detect it.”
“The moment the other party calls any number on his phone, my program will start automatically and record all the other party’s calls.”
Qiu Xingyu looked at Qiu Tong proudly. Qiu Xingyuan narrowed his eyes. “How do we listen in on them?”
Everyone looked at Qiu Xingyu expectantly. She lowered her head and touched the tip of her nose with her hand, muttering guiltily, “We’ll be able to hear after we get his phone. The original intention of my program was to eavesdrop on Mommy’s conversation with Uncle Jin Yang.”
“So I didn’t design it to include cloud transfer…”
Qiu Tong was amused by her and sighed deeply.
Shao An rushed in from outside. “Sir, according to the location clues provided by Miss Qiu Tong and Little Yu, we have tracked the other party to a hotel apartment in the center of S City. According to the front desk, there has been a strange man checking in recently. The car is already prepared and we set off at any time.”
Qiu Tong looked at Jin Yang in surprise. She planned to go along with him.
The children were also clamoring to go too. Qiu Tong asked Ke Le to stay at home to accompany them.
In the car, Qiu Tong stole a glance at Jin Yang’s profile and asked hesitantly, “How did you guess that he was at the hotel?”
“I interrogated the person locked in the basement last night. From his description, I can sense the other party has a pretty high status.”
“Such people won’t stay in basements or residential buildings, so I sent Shao An to check the registration information of all high-end hotel apartments in S City.”
Jin Yang smiled as he held Qiu Tong’s hand and rubbed his thumb against her fingertips.
