Chapter 42: Tracking

A sudden idea popped into Xia Sanghuan's mind. She quickly stepped forward.

Just as she had thought, the gap here was just wide enough for a person to pass through, exactly matching the build of the man in black on the surveillance footage.

Yes, this was the place.

Xia Sanghuan's eyes lit up. She quickly walked straight through the gap.

After walking for more than ten meters, Xia Sanghuan stopped. In front of her was a busy thoroughfare.

She already had an answer in her mind.

Those men in black were indeed not simple. They had dug a passage in an unnoticed corner and directly reached the thoroughfare without attracting attention.

The thoroughfare was the busiest street in the city center. It was one of the commercial hubs. Business was booming every day, and the pedestrians were like a mountain and a river.

If she wanted to check the surveillance here, it would be almost impossible to find their traces.

But Xia Sanghuan was just the exception.

She found the main surveillance room of the thoroughfare and tried to communicate with the people inside.

"No way. How can we let people check our surveillance casually? What if we offend some important person?"

The staff member flatly refused.

Xia Sanghuan noticed the flash of disdain on his face.

She thought for a while and looked down at her clothes.

She had been in a hurry this morning and had casually grabbed an old dress. Although the fabric was not of the highest quality, it was comfortable to wear.

Xia Sanghuan understood. This staff member looked down on her.

Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly saw a familiar figure flash past outside the surveillance room.

"Second Sister!"

It was Fu Moning.

Fu Moning also saw Xia Sanghuan and a smile appeared on her face.

She walked over, "Huanhuan, what are you doing in the surveillance room?"

The staff member froze completely on the spot.

She called the second miss of the Fu family "Second Sister"? Then she...

The staff member suddenly trembled in his heart, realizing that he had made a mistake.

Seeing her second sister, Xia Sanghuan unconsciously relaxed a lot. She curved her lips and said that she had lost something and needed to check the surveillance.

Hearing this, Fu Moning waved her hand boldly, "If you lost something, just buy another one."

"That thing is very important to me. It's not something that can be bought just like that." Xia Sanghuan shrugged.

"Okay then." Fu Moning glanced at the panicked staff member, "Please help my sister check the surveillance. Thank you."

Her tone carried the pressure that came from years of fighting in the business world.

It made the staff member shiver. He quickly nodded and said okay.

Fu Moning smiled and rubbed her head. She then carefully told Xia Sanghuan to go home when she was free.

After Xia Sanghuan promised many times, Fu Moning reluctantly left the surveillance room.

Xia Sanghuan didn't waste any time. She bent down and stared intently at the surveillance footage starting from this morning.

Time passed little by little. Just when the staff member was starting to doze off, Xia Sanghuan's eyes lit up.

On the big screen in front of her were several men in black and a pure - black freight truck.

Xia Sanghuan noted down the license plate number of the truck.

"Thank you." She walked out while looking at the message on her phone screen.

She entered the license plate number of the truck in the information box on the screen. Xia Sanghuan saw the owner of this freight truck.

"Leng Qiuhua..."

She thought thoughtfully.

She seemed to have heard this name somewhere.

Xia Sanghuan suddenly remembered. Yes, it was mentioned in the business newspaper. This person used to be a shareholder of the Leng family and also Leng Chuanjin's uncle.

What did Leng Chuanjin's uncle want to do by buying the spiritual treasure?

Xia Sanghuan vaguely felt that there must be a complicated conspiracy behind this.

No matter what this person wanted to do by buying the spiritual treasure, since the spiritual treasure was not in her hands now, she couldn't trust anyone.

Time was of the essence. Xia Sanghuan immediately checked all the information about Leng Qiuhua.

This Leng Qiuhua was indeed a shareholder of the Leng family. All the information that could be found was just what the outside world said.

If she continued to check like this, she probably wouldn't find out anything. She could only find the false appearance that Leng Qiuhua had used to disguise himself.

So Xia Sanghuan changed her thinking.

She went back to the surveillance room on the thoroughfare again and checked the direction the black freight truck had traveled.

Combining the information from three or four sets of surveillance, Xia Sanghuan simply drew a route map on paper.

Finally, she circled a place with a red pen.

Xia Sanghuan stared firmly at the circled area on the drawing.

This was a wasteland on the outskirts. It was sparsely populated. Under normal circumstances, few people would pay attention to such a desolate place.

But the final destination of the black freight truck was in this area.

Xia Sanghuan suddenly raised her eyes and quickly returned to the Fu family.

She asked the butler. She randomly found a car in the garage and immediately drove towards the wasteland on the outskirts.

— There must be something shady in this area.

Or rather, the spiritual treasure must be in this place.

Xia Sanghuan drove while looking at the route on the drawing.

She was determined to go to this place.

No matter what conspiracy was inside, she would uncover it one by one.

The car drove along the route on the drawing. When it arrived at the destination, the sky was gradually turning dark.

She didn't have much time left. Xia Sanghuan parked the car by the roadside. Without hesitation, she searched for buildings within 300 meters nearby.

The sun slowly set behind the mountain.

Xia Sanghuan also found a factory 100 meters ahead.

Seeing a few bodyguards guarding outside the factory, she quickly hid behind a thick tree trunk.

From her current line of sight, the factory was not big, probably only the size of an office.

What could be done in such a small area?

Xia Sanghuan decided to go into the factory to take a look.

Since she had come to this wasteland, if she didn't go in to find out, wouldn't this trip be in vain?

She sized up the structure of the factory and the few bodyguards at the door.

She had already started calculating in her mind.

There were only six bodyguards. According to the skills she had learned from the martial arts master in the village, she should be able to take them down within three minutes.

The structure of the factory was very simple. It was mainly made of white iron walls, with ventilation openings above and on the roof.

Xia Sanghuan pinned her hope of getting in on the ventilation opening.

She wasted no time.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Xia Sanghuan rolled into the bodyguards' blind spot.

She gathered strength in her feet and jumped without hesitation. She grabbed the iron frame of the ventilation opening with her hands and nimbly flipped in.

Perfect!

Xia Sanghuan was light - footed and landed steadily on the ground.

She patted the dust off her hands slightly. In a short period of time, she had quickly scanned the situation inside the factory.

If this was called a factory, it would be more like a research laboratory.

All the instruments for researching drugs were available. There were even many high - quality imported foreign materials, and their prices were all in the eight - digit range.
