Chapter 280 Follow the car into the distance.
Upon returning to his apartment, Su Ming immediately turned on his computer and began searching online for any information he could find about the company. His fingers danced across the keyboard, his eyes glued to the screen, his heart ached with anxiety. He hoped to find any clues about his new contact. This company didn't seem particularly prominent in the industry, but their technology had caught his attention.
As time passed, a series of data gradually appeared on the screen. Su Ming's eyes grew more focused. Although it was already night, he felt immensely excited. The scattered information gradually came together like a puzzle, and his inner anticipation and anxiety intertwined, prompting him to continue his exploration.
Finally, he found a report about the company, which mentioned an engineer who happened to be responsible for developing their new technology. Su Ming's heart couldn't help but beat faster. This person was the key he was looking for. According to the report, the engineer had just returned from abroad and was responsible for communicating with various partners.
"This is the information I need." Su Ming smiled, a strong motivation welling up in his heart. He had to find this engineer immediately to get more information from him.
Su Ming walked along the deserted streets, the autumn breeze gently brushing his face, bringing a chill. He was uneasy. Despite having received a lot of useful information from Han Jie, his inner doubts and anxieties remained. The engineer's information seemed like a breakthrough, but where this clue would lead him, Su Ming had no idea.
"Why this company? And why are there so many coincidences?" Su Ming asked himself repeatedly. Every spy must learn to grasp every detail before taking action, but the current situation made him feel a sense of anxiety that he was out of control.
He looked up at the night sky, its darkness endless and inky, a stark reflection of his current situation. He knew the mystery before him wouldn't be easily solved, and any deviation would have unimaginable consequences. This wasn't the first time Su Ming had faced danger, but this time it seemed particularly complex and mysterious.
"I can't wait any longer." He secretly made up his mind that he must take action.
Su Ming made a call and said in a low voice, "Help me check the background information and recent whereabouts of an engineer."
The other party agreed, and without further questioning, he hung up. This kind of tacit understanding was one of the few relationships Su Ming relied on in this dangerous profession. The other party never asked why, only providing the information he needed, which also made Su Ming extremely convenient.
A few minutes later, Su Ming's phone vibrated, and he quickly clicked on the message. The message was concise and clear. The engineer's name was Li Han, a skilled engineer who had recently returned from an out-of-town job and was primarily responsible for developing a new project. Su Ming glanced at the address, and a new plan came to mind.
"Looks like I have to go meet this Li Han." He sneered in his heart, then quickened his pace and walked towards the parking lot.
Along the way, Su Ming's mind raced with various possible plans and strategies. Could Li Han know that he had been investigating him? Or was this just a coincidence? He needed both wisdom and patience to decipher this silent game.
Su Ming drove to Li Han's residence, his thoughts pounding the surface the entire time. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind—was this Li Han truly just an engineer? Or did he harbor other identities and agendas? In the world of espionage, no one takes everything at face value, especially when the clues involve technology and secrets. The darkness behind it is often deeper than meets the eye.
The car stopped near Li Han's residential complex. Su Ming turned off the engine and sat quietly in the car, observing the surroundings. The lights in the complex were dim, and there were almost no pedestrians, making it seem particularly quiet. This kind of environment was exactly what Su Ming liked, a quietness that made him feel the danger lurking.
He lowered his head and checked his equipment, confirming that everything was ready. He didn't intend to act rashly, but decided to observe Li Han's movements before making his next move. Time passed in silence, Su Ming's gaze fixed on several key locations in the complex, knowing that Li Han would appear soon.
As expected, Li Han appeared. He emerged from the side entrance of the complex, wearing a black windbreaker. His expression was calm and composed, and his steps were measured. Su Ming immediately followed, keeping a distance to avoid being noticed.
"He's definitely not simple," Su Ming thought to himself. Li Han's every move revealed his sensitivity to his surroundings; even his gait was marked by a special vigilance. This made Su Ming even more certain that Li Han was more than just an ordinary technician.
The two walked down the street, one in front of the other. Li Han didn't seem to notice anyone following him, and he walked straight to a seemingly ordinary coffee shop. Su Ming stopped at a distance and chose a secluded corner to observe. He didn't follow immediately, but chose to wait outside to see who Li Han was meeting.
Ten minutes later, a tall figure emerged from the cafe and exchanged a few words with Li Han. Su Ming could clearly see that the tall man seemed to have a close relationship with Li Han. Both of them appeared calm, with no unusual behavior during their conversation. However, this calmness only made Su Ming even more alert.
"There's something fishy about these guys." Su Ming confirmed his judgment in his heart, quickly memorized the characteristics of the tall man, and silently planned his next move.
After Li Han separated from the tall man, Su Ming did not follow Li Han anymore, but chose to keep an eye on the tall man. He felt that Li Han should be a more cautious person, while the tall man might be more likely to reveal his true intentions.
The man walked towards a parked car, and Su Ming quickly wrote down the license plate number. Then, he returned to his own car, silently started the engine, and followed the car into the distance.
Throughout the journey, Su Ming's heart remained tense. Although his expression remained calm, his mind was racing. He knew that such a stalking attempt would likely expose him, so every detail had to be meticulously executed.
"Where will this guy take me?" Su Ming stared at the vehicle in front of him and wondered in his heart.
The vehicle drove onto a secluded road. The surrounding buildings gradually became sparser and the lights became dimmer. Su Ming carefully kept his distance, not daring to get too close. He knew that any negligence might allow the other party to detect his presence.
