Chapter 1061: Chapter 618: Discovering Clues, Destined for a Sleepless Night_2 Chapter 1061: Chapter 618: Discovering Clues, Destined for a Sleepless Night_2 While Qin Yuan and a few others were preparing to slip into the laboratory, Qu Jinmin spotted them from a distance.
“What’s up? Is there something?”
Qin Yuan, noticing the serious expressions on everyone’s faces, asked without knowing what Qin Yuan and his team were planning to do that night.
“It’s Director Qu Jinmin,” he said, “we’ve discovered something and want to check it out tonight.”
With nothing to hide from the other party and knowing that Qu Jinmin was the most senior official in the area, he understood that if Qu Jinmin could help, the task ahead would be much easier.
“Is there anything I can help with?”
Sure enough, Qu Jinmin, who was always decisive and to the point, asked without hesitation.
“Thank you, but not for now. I need to catch that thickened fox’s tail,” Qin Yuan replied.
As long as Shi Xiaoqi managed to take the pills out of the laboratory and actually sell them, Qin Yuan could capture him, and once he caught him red-handed, there would be no escape.
“That’s good, I’ll leave you to it then,” Qu Jinmin said.
As they said their goodbyes, Qu Jinmin truly left the place, showing absolutely no curiosity or concern about their activities.
Qin Yuan felt that his personality was quite peculiar, as most people would have asked again out of curiosity.
However, now was not the time to discuss such matters. He spotted Sun Yueshan, Doctor Ding, and several other assistants and nurses walking out.
“Did you see Assistant Shi Xiaoqi?”
As he saw those people emerge, Qin Yuan asked quietly into the walkie-talkie he held, addressing He Chenguang who was standing in the shadows.
He Chenguang, stationed where no one could see him, was watching the laboratory and responded to Qin Yuan.
“Captain, Captain, Shi Xiaoqi hasn’t come out, she voluntarily stayed behind to clean the laboratory.”
The young girl was indeed clever, deciding to stay behind alone in the laboratory so she could take everything out with her later.
“Okay, got it. Keep watching,” Qin Yuan instructed.
The night was destined to be sleepless for them, hoping that Shi Xiaoqi would make a move and they could catch her red-handed.
It had been over half a month since Chief Wei gave him the command, and Qin Yuan hadn’t yet provided any satisfactory response, which was starting to worry him.
But the old chief didn’t know that Qin Yuan and his team had already received definite news and would soon capture Shi Xiaoqi.
Qin Yuan watched the young girl still diligently managing the lab all by herself, unsuspecting of how covert her operations were.
Yet, he knew that the fox would eventually show its tail; he just didn’t know how this young girl had managed to evade everyone’s eyes.
I’ll keep an eye on her; the rest of you can rest.
this busy night, Qin Yuan didn’t want He Chenguang and Geng Hu to lose their alertness, so he ordered them.
“Yes, Captain, I understand,” they both replied.
With that, the two leaned against a large tree and started to rest.
Qin Yuan stationed himself around the laboratory to observe.
To his surprise, Shi Xiaoqi, who was indeed a scheming person, had everything packed up and walked out carrying a trash bag without making any suspicious movements.
This slight action caught Qin Yuan’s attention, and he started to smile, giving off a dangerously joyful expression as he muttered to himself.
“Looks like you finally can’t sit still, can you?”
After finishing his remark, he immediately woke He Chenguang and Geng Hu with his walkie-talkie.
“Viper is on the move; get ready.”
Hearing this, the two men resting in the tree immediately opened their eyes and responded.
“Received.”
“Received.”
At that moment, how could they feel sleepy? They suddenly became incredibly excited, ready to act at any moment.
As two people hurried toward Qin Yuan, they saw a figure in a white coat walking farther and farther away ahead.
“What’s going on? Isn’t this guy making any moves?”
He Chenguang asked, feeling that Shi Xiaoqi wasn’t suspicious at all; everything seemed so normal.
“It looks like he’s heading back to the villa.”
Each of them had their own bedroom, although it was within the villa, they had their own places where they lived.
“Impossible, he will definitely make a move in a little while.”
“Let’s all just follow him for now.”
A few people chatted while cautiously following behind the figure, until Shi Xiaoqi returned to his villa.
“Could it be that tonight is going to be another disappointing night?”
Just thinking about how long they had been investigating and had only found such little clues, and the suspect was still not showing his hand, made Geng Hu quite anxious.
As members of the special forces, they were used to solving everything after others had finished investigating the case; a case-cracking mission like today’s was really testing his patience.
“What’s the hurry? Since he is our enemy, sooner or later he will slip up; all we have to do is wait.”
Qin Yuan, who knew Geng Hu’s personality very well, spoke again and continued to follow the direction in front.
The villa where the suspect lived was surrounded by the villas of Old Ding and Old Sun.
It was truly blind of them not to notice such a dangerous person living right beside them.
Qin Yuan and the others followed him closely and just watched as he entered the villa, then they took up positions outside once again.
While everyone was waiting, and time dragged on to 2 a.m. in the latter half of the night, they were utterly bored.
“Are we still waiting? Let’s go back.”
He saw that the lights inside the room had been turned off early; at this moment, the suspect was surely already asleep. Even if they continued waiting, it wouldn’t yield any clues; He Chenguang was really getting anxious.
“Just wait a little longer, just wait a little longer.”
Qin Yuan still repeated these words, akin to a hunter always lurking, possessing immense patience.
Hearing him speak, the two men didn’t talk further.
Indeed, the three men quietly waited for over three hours, and before the sky had even brightened, a dark shadow emerged.
“He’s coming out.”
Geng Hu and He Chenguang, both drowsy, were leaning against a nearby spot and were constantly dozing off when suddenly they heard Qin Yuan’s words.
They both opened their eyes and indeed saw a very small figure emerging from the room and heading outside.
“Looks like it wasn’t a waste to wait after all, that guy finally couldn’t hold back and is preparing to meet with his higher-up, isn’t he?”
“What should we do? Should we follow him now?”
He Chenguang quickly asked, uncertain of what Qin Yuan thought they should do next. If they were to follow, they were also afraid of exposing their target.
“We should split up and follow him; make sure he doesn’t notice us.”
For Qin Yuan, tracking was the easiest part; usually, the enemy wouldn’t notice him, but he also feared that Shi Xiaoqi might exhibit counter-tracking behavior.
“Got it.”
“I’ll immediately head to the front left and follow.”
The two of them each spoke and headed in different directions to follow, with Qin Yuan immediately taking one side as several people alternated between each other.
Unexpectedly, Shi Xiaoqi indeed started wandering around the entire research institute.
