I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier-Chapter 938: A Total of Five People

"What were they talking about before? If they were chatting, would all the records be displayed on this public screen?"

"Normally, if they chat again, we should be able to see it. But we often chat online now, so everything is encrypted. After a while, it will automatically clear, and the information will be deleted from the database. Even if someone tries to find it later, they won't find anything."

"So, do we just have to wait for them to contact us next?"

"Exactly, that's how it should be."

"What if they suddenly start a video chat? If that happens, all our plans might completely fail."

"No, usually, this kind of video is easily monitored. Even if it's encrypted, it can still be captured. So, they generally won't use video chat."

"Oh, that's reassuring."

Ye Chen let out a long sigh of relief upon hearing this. If that's the case, then there's no need for him to worry about these things anymore.

Suddenly, he noticed one of them sending an emoji and then quickly typing a message.

"Where have you been? Why haven't we been able to contact you for the past two days?"

"Is this directed at us?"

"I guess it is. Since yesterday, which should be in the past ten some years, these guys must have been waiting."

"What should we say now?"

"Let me think it over."

Ye Chen slightly furrowed his brows upon hearing this and started pondering how best to respond so as not to reveal any flaws.

"Since that's the case, we can't delay any longer. You need to lure all these people out."

"What? Lure them all out? What do you mean?"

"How many people are online right now? There are 5 people in total, right? So where are the other 4 located? Also, when we were interrogating him before, he mentioned they have regular meetings. Could his 'meetings' be referring to these online ones?"

"Not necessarily online; it could be offline. But the key issue is, what reason do you have to organize them offline? And after organizing them offline, what will these people do next? Also, once offline, we can't show up."

"Indeed, we can't surface, but we can use this opportunity to capture all of them at once. This way, they will lose their support, and these guys won't be able to sit still."

"Are you suggesting we force those behind the scenes to expose themselves step by step? To lure them to this city?"

"Exactly, that's what I mean."

"But doing this is indeed risky. Even if they all fall into the trap, these people might still ignore us. What would we do next then?"

"I don't think so. Besides, I believe among them, there must be a leader, and this leader should be responsible for relaying orders from above down to them."

"What about the other people? What roles do they play? And what tasks are they assigned in this city?"

"That, I'm not sure about. We only derived from a code analysis that it's linked to one line of events. How many more hidden lines are there in this city? So, we need to capture all of them to understand their ultimate real purpose."

Upon hearing this, Anying nodded in agreement, acknowledging that doing so would indeed advance the progress of their mission once again.

But he was well aware that once this was set in motion, there was no turning back.

Moreover, if any unexpected conflict arises, all their efforts might be in vain, and the target might be completely exposed.

This is indeed a severe test for them, and accomplishing this seems to be beyond the capability of just one person's effort.

"Are you really sure about this?"

He turned around and glanced at Ye Chen, knowing full well that Ye Chen was the decision-maker here, and even if Anying had ideas, he couldn't take the lead.

Previously, they had received instructions from Lin, who coordinated with him to follow Ye Chen's directions without questioning.

"Yes, I'm sure. This is what we need to do now."

"So, he will initiate and organize a meeting then?"

"Yes, that's the idea. Only in this way can we lure all of them over."

"However, he's not the leader of this group. In that case, we should identify who the leader is. We must emphasize the seriousness of the situation; only this way can we quickly arrange for them to meet."

"That's also my analysis. I'll handle the chatting, progressively drawing the enemy in deeper."

With that, Anying nodded, handing the operational controls to Ye Chen.

Letting Ye Chen handle other tasks might be challenging, but manipulating a computer for chatting was certainly within Ye Chen's capabilities.

"There have been unexpected changes, so I've been handling matters on this side."

"What? Changes? What kind of changes?"

"Yes, wasn't it lost before? Aren't all matters under our control now?"

"About the previous mission failure, what next? What should we do now?"

He had just uttered a sentence when a few others joined the chat. It seems they were all keeping an eye on this affair.
