Chapter 127 Locking the target
Chapter 127 Locking the target
Jiang Shiyuan and Lao Huang drove to a newly opened department store as planned.
This department store is located in the International Settlement. It is luxuriously decorated and has a wide range of merchandise, attracting many customers to shop.
Jiang Shiyuan and Lao Huang pretended to be an ordinary master and servant, strolling around the department store.
While admiring the various merchandise, they secretly observed the surrounding situation.
Suddenly, Jiang Shiyuan's eyes fell on a man not far away.
The man was about thirty years old, with a sturdy build, wearing a black suit and a pair of black sunglasses.
Jiang Shiyuan quickly whispered, "Old Huang, look at that man in sunglasses!"
"The way he's dressed, it's as if he's afraid that others won't know he's a spy!"
Old Huang followed Jiang Shiyuan's gaze, carefully sized up the man, and said with a smile, "That's right. The man who followed us today must be a hotshot!"
To be on the safe side, Jiang Shiyuan decided to continue observing and testing the man.
She pretended to be very interested in a piece of clothing, walked closer to the man, and then deliberately started a loud discussion with Lao Huang.
"Old Huang, does this dress look good on me?"
"Miss, you look good in anything!"
"You old man, you only know how to say nice things!"
Jiang Shiyuan glared at Lao Huang in a reproachful manner, and then continued, "Do you think the color of this dress is too bright?"
Old Huang quickly waved his hand, "No, miss, the color of this dress really suits your skin tone!"
"Really?" Jiang Shiyuan pretended to be very happy, then picked up the clothes and gestured on his body a few times.
At this moment, Jiang Shiyuan suddenly felt that the man seemed to look at him deeply.
Although he was wearing sunglasses, Jiang Shiyuan's keen senses could confirm that the man's gaze lingered on him for a moment.
"There is indeed a problem!" Jiang Shiyuan said in his heart, and then continued to discuss the clothes with Lao Huang calmly.
After a while, Jiang Shiyuan deliberately did not buy the clothes she and Lao Huang had discussed, but instead bought a loose skirt.
After they left, they continued to wander around the department store, then went to a men's clothing store and randomly bought a gray suit.
During this period, Jiang Shiyuan and Lao Huang discovered that the man had been following them using poor tracking techniques.
Just then, Jiang Shiyuan suddenly saw a movie theater in front of him.
Jiang Shiyuan's beautiful eyes turned, and a plan came to her mind, "Old Huang, let's go to the movies!"
"Ah, watching a movie?" Old Huang was stunned for a moment and didn't react.
Jiang Shiyuan pulled Lao Huang without saying anything and walked towards the cinema.
Seeing this, the man in sunglasses hurriedly followed.
Jiang Shiyuan looked at the movie schedule posted above the ticket window, pointed at the movie that was about to start and said, "Old Huang, let's watch this movie, Children of the Storm!"
The two bought the tickets and sat in the lounge area waiting for their turn, observing their surroundings seemingly nonchalantly.
Sure enough, the man wearing sunglasses followed.
But he did not buy tickets with them. Instead, he waited far away at the exit, his eyes never leaving them.
"This guy is quite cautious!" Old Huang lowered his voice and whispered in Jiang Shiyuan's ear.
Jiang Shiyuan's lips curled up into a sly smile, "Don't worry, today we will show him what it means to be a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!"
After waiting for about half an hour, it was finally their turn to check their tickets for the movie.
The two followed the crowd into the theater, found their seats and sat down.
The movie officially began and the theater suddenly fell into darkness.
Jiang Shiyuan and Lao Huang looked at each other, and while no one was paying attention, they crouched down and quietly slipped out.
They each went to the restroom on the inside of the ticket gate and transformed themselves using two sets of clothes bought in the mall and wigs prepared in advance.
Jiang Shiyuan first changed his cheongsam into a gray suit, then tied up his long, shiny black hair and put on a wig, instantly turning into a handsome young man.
Old Huang also changed into that burgundy loose dress, put on a big wavy wig, and put on blush on her face, looking like a wealthy wife from a nouveau riche family.
After the two walked out of the bathroom, they couldn't help but look at each other and burst into laughter.
Jiang Shiyuan joked: "Old Huang, it's a pity that you don't go to perform a stage comedy with this outfit!"
Old Huang smiled and praised: "Xiaoyuan, you look really heroic when you dress up as a man. Even I almost couldn't recognize you!"
Then they smiled at each other, knowing that this game of cat and mouse had just begun!
About a quarter of an hour later, Jiang Shiyuan and Lao Huang walked out of the cinema's exit passage respectively, and then sat down in a coffee shop where they could just see the sunglasses man's every move.
"A cup of coffee, thank you!" Jiang Shiyuan said politely to the waiter.
"Just give me a glass of lemonade!" Lao Huang added.
The two men seemed to be drinking drinks leisurely, but their eyes never left the man in sunglasses.
During this time, Jiang Shiyuan sneaked out and moved their car to a new location.
After about another hour, the movie finally ended.
The man in sunglasses was seen pacing anxiously back and forth in front of the passage, looking inside from time to time, as if he was looking for something.
"It seems that our anti-tracking plan was successful!" Jiang Shiyuan said with a smug smile on his face.
Old Huang couldn't help laughing, "Haha, this kid must be wondering how we managed to slip away from under his nose!"
Jiang Shiyuan put down his coffee cup and stood up. "Old Huang, let's go. This guy is probably going to the parking lot next!"
Sure enough, when the man in sunglasses saw that the two men had not come out yet, he immediately went to the parking lot again.
He noticed that their car was gone too, and he stamped his feet in frustration, realizing that he might have been discovered and lost.
Jiang Shiyuan pointed to a corner not far away and said with a smile: "I had expected that he would go to the parking lot after he found out that we were gone, so I moved the car away in advance!"
Old Huang suddenly realized what was going on and was full of admiration for Jiang Shiyuan's wit.
"Vulture" knew very well that his tracking skills were far inferior to those of his teammate "Parrot", so he wanted to finish work early today to avoid any accidents.
So he rode a stolen bicycle, leisurely traveling through the streets at dusk, completely unaware that danger was approaching step by step.
"This guy really knows how to enjoy life!" Old Huang joked while driving.
Jiang Shiyuan never let her guard down. She used a high-powered telescope to observe the man in sunglasses' every move, afraid of missing any details.
Finally, the man in sunglasses rode his bicycle and turned into a secluded alley.
Jiang Shiyuan quickly asked Lao Huang to stop the car, "It's here, Dengyun Apartment!"
The two men got out of the car and followed the man in sunglasses from a distance.
Jiang Shiyuan held up a high-powered telescope and looked through the corridor windows on each floor of Dengyun Apartment. He saw the man in sunglasses walk to the easternmost room on the second floor.
The curtains in that room were always drawn, making it look particularly eerie and dark in the dusk, making it hard not to be suspicious.
"This is it!" Jiang Shiyuan said with certainty.
Old Huang nodded, "Okay, let's call Station Master Wang right away!"
