I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier-Chapter 944: Growing Suspicions

"Traps? Inside this cave?"

"Yeah, right inside this cave."

"But traps, they're not really my strong suit. Also, the last time my mentor guided me, it was long ago, and I've never used it. I think it's better to forget it."

"It's fine. I can handle these things. Even if they're not used, they can at least serve as a protective measure."

"Wow, Anying, I didn't expect you'd even set up traps you're so concerned about."

"Haha, this is a required skill for us, so it's all necessary. Oh, if you're free, come with me to gather some big stones; I'll need them later."

"Okay, no problem. Let's go now."

After saying that, he nodded, and then the two of them left the cave once more, following Anying.

On the other side, this person was actually the team leader responsible for the city.

He had a total of 4 teams under him, each responsible for monitoring, tracking, execution, and logistics support, respectively.

It could be said their roles were entirely different, so he handled everything with ease.

After he hung up the phone, he just sat by the window and took a deep breath.

Soon after, his eyebrows furrowed tightly.

No, based on his understanding of this man, he wouldn't easily leave everything to those around him.

Furthermore, those people around him have been with him for years, yet he never reported who they were.

It means he's always cautious. Why did he reveal such an important communication method to those around him? And who was that person just now who could know these things?

Thinking about this made him anxious.

After all, as a superior, he seldom communicated with subordinates, so he thought of another person.

This person joined the team almost at the same time as him, but he was responsible for some execution tasks.

However, he knew their personal relationship was quite good, so he directly dialed that number again.

"Team leader, what's up?"

Hearing the voice, he took a deep breath.

"The operation has begun, right?"

"Relax, I'm already preparing. If all goes well, I'll reach Luoshui Village before dawn. I'll meet up with him then."

"In your understanding, what kind of person is he?"

"What? About him? He's a highly responsible person, and over the years, nothing has ever fallen through, that's for sure."

"No, I mean those around him. Do you know them?"

"Oh, those people, of course. He has five people around him, and they've been monitoring operations in another city for around seven years. They should be trustworthy."

"Has he ever told you about who these people are? Have you seen them with him?"

"How could he tell me? He usually communicates one-on-one, and as you know, people like us executing orders don't want any links with those at the top, so I've never seen them."

"Did he ever mention anyone he trusts or someone who stands out?"

"Impossible. He handles everything personally and would never delegate unless something significant happens. But under the current circumstances? Why are you asking all of a sudden?"

"Earlier, I received reliable intel that the Lin Family faced some major changes, and the information is accurate. I wanted to confirm with him, but it wasn't him who answered."

"What, it wasn't him? Then who was it?"

"No clue. He claimed to be an assistant and said he had to handle something temporarily, so he left, allowing him to manage the communication device and receive live signals."

"No way. He's always been meticulous and distrustful. How could he assign so many tasks to his subordinates?"

"Which is why after hanging up, I felt something was off. But if so, doesn't it mean something has happened to him?"

"If something happened to him, then who was the person at the meeting? If it wasn't him, how did he grasp the situation so clearly?"

"That's why I am confused about everything, and when he mentioned the Lin Family's upheaval, I remained skeptical. Then when I tried to contact him discreetly, it turned out he was right, the Lin Family is indeed in big trouble."

"If the intel is true, then there shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Not sure, it feels odd. Since you two are quite close, I wanted to ask what kind of person he usually is."

"Hard to say, but generally speaking, he wouldn't casually delegate tasks to others unless, like I said, something significant happens, forcing him to do so temporarily."

"Even needing to be hands-on, the communication device could've been turned off; why is it still on?"

"I don't know. Are you suggesting you suspect something?"
