Chapter 140: 125 126]Begin the Slaughter! The First Kill! Slay the Invaders! (Seeking monthly tickets, recommendations, and subscriptions)_3
Pei Jinye also stopped in his tracks.

Because a timed bomb had appeared on the car they’d been sitting in earlier, it just hadn’t been activated.

There was a small card on the timed bomb.

“Stop your foolish investigation!”

Hu Beng turned his head to Pei Jinye, “Who do you think it is?”

“Shouldn’t we be concerned about why we were discovered?”

Pei Jinye looked over.

Under the night wind, Hu Beng was stunned.

“Damn, is there an insider?”

But Pei Jinye didn’t say a word; he really didn’t know if there was an insider.

What he could be certain of was…

Today, his and Hu Beng’s covert visits must have been under someone’s watch.

“Death threats? We all received them too.” Fan Dahai contacted the members involved in the operation and called for a meeting.

As it turned out, each team had received a timed bomb.

“Someone doesn’t want us to continue investigating…” Fan Dahai looked at everyone, “Not many people knew about this operation…”

The teammate next to him immediately raised his hand to signal, “Brother Fan, I’ve been with you all along; if I wanted to leak any information, I had no chance.”

“Me too, my body camera has never been turned off.”

“Same here…”

Everyone was quickly trying to prove their innocence.

But it’s Pei Jinye who then looked at everyone and shook his head, “It’s not necessarily the case that the leak came from within us. Ever since the 13th Research Institute was sealed off, the person behind it must have been monitoring any department involved with this matter. As the first department to discover the issue with the institute, we would definitely receive special attention…”

At the mention, Hu Beng sighed painfully, “I guessed that we would be spotted, but the speed of discovery was really too fast.”

Fan Dahai looked at everyone’s declaration before finally slowly saying, “Going forward, does anyone want to drop out?”

Everyone looked at each other, none willing to withdraw.

“Fine, since everyone has chosen to continue, then I need to emphasize one thing,” Fan Dahai spoke softly, “The other side has discovered our tracks, so the difficulty of our investigation and evidence collection will increase. We may even face life-and-death issues, so I hope everyone is prepared for everything…

I’ve already reported this, and headquarters is applying for Xing Tian authority to support our upcoming operations.”

“I hope…” Fan Dahai looked at the squad members, “that all of you will return safely to the base.”

Another day passed.

“Do you feel it?” In the evening, just after coming out of a warehouse, Hu Beng suddenly whispered.

Pei Jinye nodded subtly without giving anything away.

The two exchanged glances, seemingly understanding something.

Almost simultaneously, they rushed towards the door.

At the next moment.

The sound of an engine starting rang out.

The moment the gate opened, a black hover car had already driven hundreds of meters away.

Hu Beng immediately reported the incident, “No.141, Minghui Street—a black TS078 model hover car without a license plate. Activate the surveillance cameras to track this car’s whereabouts.”

After the report.

Hu Beng’s expression was grim as he turned to Pei Jinye, “We’ve been so low-profile, how did someone still follow us? Where is the problem exactly?”

Pei Jinye looked around, “Maybe, we’re really getting close to the truth.”

Hu Beng was taken aback.

Pei Jinye averted his gaze and asked, “Did you discover anything on your end?”

Hu Beng shook his head, “Either Jiang Suhu really isn’t a problem, or he’s covered his tracks too well. So far, I haven’t found any more information…What about you?”

“The same.”

“So, should we continue the investigation?”

Pei Jinye didn’t immediately answer Hu Beng’s question but turned to look back at the warehouse.

Didn’t Fan Dahai’s intel say that Jiang Suhu once bought a hospital and sold it again last year? Let’s check it out, and if there’s no issue, we’ll pull out.”

Hu Beng looked at him and nodded slowly, “Okay.”

Pei Jinye glanced at his wristwatch, “It’s already past seven in the evening, are you going to grab some dinner?”

“No, I’ll head back to base to pick up some equipment. Are you going home?”

“No.”

“Then where are you going? I can give you a lift,” Hu Beng offered.

Without hesitation, Pei Jinye got into the passenger seat and gave the address.

Seventeen minutes later, Hu Beng dropped Pei Jinye off on a street, watched him walk away, and then restarted the car to leave.

Without going to East Street to find Father Pei and Mother Pei, Pei Jinye chose a nearby restaurant for dinner.

While waiting for his food.

He fell into contemplation.

Without any surprise, Brother Bi’s car accident was due to the 13th Research Institute.

From warnings issued yesterday to the “close” tracking today.

The more it happened, the less Pei Jinye dared to go home.

To avoid bringing any crisis to his parents.

At this thought.

He couldn’t help feeling irate.

He hated being hampered and cautious.

If he could track down the other party, he would wish to kill them right now.

He looked down to check on the monitoring device for his parents’ situation, thankfully there were no issues.

Twenty minutes later.

Pei Jinye finished his meal, stood at the corner, turned around, didn’t head home, but decided to go back to his rental place for the night.

Just then, Mother Pei called, asking if he was coming home that night.

“I won’t come back tonight; I’m a bit busy these days… Yeah, I know, it’s cold, I’ll wear more,” he responded.

After hanging up, Pei Jinye, standing at the corner, hailed a taxi.

Sitting in the back.

Pei Jinye was messaging Tang Huoyang on his phone.

After about fifteen minutes.
