Let them offer their loyalty!

As a locally well-known businessman in Xinjie City, Qian Dafu didn't have the qualification to live in core villa areas like Longshan Road, but he resided in a nearby, smaller cluster of villas.

This cluster of small villas was under the influence of Longshan Road, ensuring security and a relatively complete set of public facilities.

Moreover, with good greening...

It was especially suitable for concealment.

At this moment, just outside Qian Dafu's small villa,

Chen Feng and Eagle were squatting behind a tree, holding a villa floor plan, discussing the arrangements for the surveillance.

Chen Feng, "The villa has three floors in total, with front and back doors."

"There are eight windows on the east and west sides."

"To prevent the target from escaping, we'd better first position six detectives on each side, and then have three detectives enter through the front door."

Eagle nodded and replied, "According to intelligence, though Qian Dafu runs a transportation company and maintains a group of thugs and some private armed forces, for convenience, he usually has only two armed bodyguards for personal protection."

"Three armed detectives entering, six detectives staking out outside, that's more than enough to disarm the opposition and take Qian Dafu away."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Unless Qian Dafu plans to openly oppose the Investigation Bureau, he won't order his bodyguards to shoot."

"You're right, but even if he orders his bodyguards to take action, with my hammer, I can knock him out at any time."

"Hmm... relying on the hammer might be a bit overconfident, it's still best to use guns. We can arrange... wait, Brother Ted, when did you get here?!"

Eagle had initially been earnestly responding to questions, but halfway through, he sensed something was off.

Turning his head, he discovered Ah-Tai's simple-minded head had appeared above him and Chen Feng, inconspicuously joining their conversation.

Hearing Eagle's question, Ah-Tai excitedly bounced the small hammer in his hand and said, "Oh, I was just a bit bored waiting, so I came over to see if there was anything I could help with!"

Eagle and Chen Feng exchanged a glance, both feeling a bit helpless.

Eagle reassured him, "Brother Ted, there's nothing here that needs your help; what you need to do now is to keep an eye on those detectives from the Special Service Department."

"After all, they're not one of us and are not completely trustworthy."

"So, make absolutely sure they don't leak any information."

With understanding dawning on his face, Ah-Tai brandished his small hammer menacingly and declared, "Don't worry! I'll keep a close watch on them; they won't spoil Brother Tu's big plans!"

After speaking, he tucked his small hammer at his waist and strode towards the group of Special Service Detectives not far away.

With his fierce demeanor, he looked quite ready to randomly knock someone out for a bit of fun.

Therefore, Chen Feng couldn't help but ask Eagle with a bit of concern, "Is everything really okay?"

Eagle shook his head, unconcerned, and said, "It's fine. Brother Ted has always been like this."

"Don't worry, he has the charm of being ready to take you down at any moment, yet also being able to mess around with you like a brother."

As he spoke, the group of Special Service Detectives indeed started jovially horsing around with the grim Ah-Tai, like brothers...

Chen Feng:....

'The people around the boss are never simple indeed....'

With this thought, Chen Feng shifted his attention back and once again started confirming the capture details with Eagle...

To ensure not to alarm the prey, Qiu Tu had devised a plan for the groups to make their captures at a coordinated time.

They were to wait until all targets were controlled before taking action, unless the target posed a risk of fleeing beforehand.

Therefore, they had plenty of time to get into position.

...

Meanwhile, at Emerald Fort, fourth floor southeast corner of the horse racing grandstand,

There, Qiu Tu also met the friend mentioned by Chief Huang.

As expected, they were all medium-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen with power in Xinjie City.

From the Department of Education, Preparatory and Schooling Section: Section Chief Kong.

Department of Environment and Sanitation, Public Works Section: Deputy Section Chief Zhuang.

Department of Commerce and Economic Development, Investment Promotion Section: Deputy Section Chief Yuan.

From the Investigation Bureau, Public Security Bureau, Security Patrol Section: Section Chief Xin.

There were also several captains and lieutenants from the military; moreover, wealthy businessmen from sectors such as department stores and food.

It could be said that every single one of them was a significant figure with the power to make rules within a domain of Xinjie City.

Among these, the most noteworthy for Qiu Tu were several section chiefs and deputy staff chiefs from the City Hall.

Not because they held high positions or great power, but because... after getting acquainted with Qiu Tu, they were quite proactive and enthusiastic in chatting with him, and between the lines, they also probed for progress on the "Yin Caimei case."

Qiu Tu did not know whether it was their own initiative or if someone was directing them from behind.

But still, he quietly took note of their names in his "little book" to consider bringing them in for questioning if given the chance...

As others were busy trying to make Qiu Tu's acquaintance and Qiu Tu was busy listing them, a new round of horse racing had started.

As one of the oldest sports in human history, horse racing has different forms in each era.

The rules at Emerald Fort were similar to those of Fragrant River in the past life: flat obstacle racing with jockeys riding.

This also brought new star horses and jockeys into the limelight each month.

However, Qiu Tu had no interest in such "sophisticated" entertainment, so after symbolically laying down 1 Silver Yuan, he sat in a chair to the side, watching the excited crowd to pass the time.

Perhaps, as Chief Huang had mentioned, Qiu Tu was indeed becoming a well-known figure in the political and business circles of Xinjie City, with many wishing to network with him.
