"What should I do now?" Zhou Hong's hand tightened slightly, with a little anxiety in her tone.

"Look at me." Qin Yuan said in a deep voice.

He suddenly stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed out like an arrow from the string, quickly widening the distance from the black sedan. The black sedan obviously did not expect this move, and it accelerated to catch up in panic, but it could not close the distance.

Qin Yuan accelerated while searching for the surrounding terrain. He noticed that there was a narrow alley ahead, and the exit of the alley just led to a hidden main road.

"Sit firmly!" Qin Yuan whispered, and turned the steering wheel hard, the car made a sharp turn and rushed into the alley.

The narrow alley was filled with debris, and the car almost rushed past the wall. Zhou Hong held her breath with nervousness, but Qin Yuan was extremely skillful in driving skills, and every turn was clean and neat, without any unnecessary movements.

The black sedan obviously hesitated when chasing the alley. They were obviously unfamiliar with the terrain and were worried that the car would be stuck or exposed more whereabouts.

"They dare not come in." Qin Yuan looked at the rearview mirror, his tone was calm, but a cold light flashed in his eyes, "But they should be waiting outside and want to keep up with us again."

After saying that, he quickly drove out of the alley, entered the main road, and stopped near a parking lot. He untied his seat belt, got out of the car and walked quickly to a hidden corner. From a favorable position, he observed that the black car was indeed parked not far from the exit of the alley.

Qin Yuan quickly took the license plate number with his mobile phone, and then called Li Cheng: "Captain Li, I found a trailing vehicle on the way home. The license plate number is XJ3327, and this car has been following since we set off. You can send someone to check the information of the car owner immediately."

Li Cheng's tone sank: "I'll ask someone to check it out immediately. These people are becoming more and more rampant and dare to follow them blatantly."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Yuan returned to the car and started the engine. He took a detour from another direction and drove the car back to Zhou Hong's home. Along the way, he still observed through the rearview mirror and confirmed that the black sedan was no longer within sight.

A few minutes later, they arrived at Zhou Hong's residence safely. Qin Yuan got out of the car and checked the surrounding environment. After confirming that there were no other suspicious people or vehicles, he walked to the car door and opened the car door and said, "Get out, you can go home safely."

Zhou Hong's nervous expression eased a little, but she was still scared: "Instructor Qin, if it weren't for you just now, I really didn't know what would have happened."

Qin Yuan smiled faintly, his tone was still calm: "This is my responsibility. Next, don't travel alone, these people may still wait for an opportunity to take action."

"I will." Zhou Hong nodded, then showed a grateful smile, "Thank you, Instructor Qin. Not only today, but also the protection I have protected me over the past few days."

Qin Yuan didn't say much, just nodded: "Get a break early, I will pay attention to the latest progress of this matter."

After returning to the recruit company, Li Cheng quickly called, with a hint of solemnity in his tone: "Instructor Qin, the owner of the car is under the name of a bag company, and the registrant has false identity information. It seems that these people are really doing it in a hidden way."

Qin Yuan frowned slightly when he heard this: "False identity? It seems that they were prepared for it. However, can you track the driver's route from the trajectory of the vehicle?"

Li Cheng replied: "We are already retrieving the surveillance along the way, but these people are very cunning and deliberately avoiding the main surveillance area, and their movement trajectory is incomplete. However, we will continue to track down."

"Okay." Qin Yuan's tone was low, with a hint of coldness, "Since they dared to follow him blatantly, it means they already know Zhou Hong's whereabouts. You will continue to track the vehicles, and I will arrange more people here to ensure that they will not succeed."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Yuan sat in the office with deep eyes.

A few hours later, Li Cheng called again, this time his tone was a little excited: "Instructor Qin, there is a new clue! We tracked down the background of the black sedan and found that it was related to a small local gangster named 'Black Claw'."

"Black Claw?" Qin Yuan frowned slightly and repeated the name.

"Yes," Li Cheng explained, "This is a small gang with about twenty core members, but they have been employed underground for a long time, mainly engaged in activities in gray areas such as intimidation, destruction, debt collection. We have received reports about them before, but because they acted in a hidden way, they have never been able to catch direct evidence."

Qin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was calm: "Since they were involved in this incident, we have to let them surface. Have you found specific contact points or activity areas?"

Li Cheng nodded and said, "As the driving record of this car, we found that it often occupies an old car park in the west of the city. It is suspected to be one of the strongholds of the 'Black Claw'. We sent a few people to stare at it, but did not dare to act rashly."

Qin Yuan pondered for a moment and asked, "How many people are there in the car park? Are their activities monitored?"

Li Cheng replied: "Preliminary estimates are that the members of the event are between five and ten people. Most of them operate at night, and they look like ordinary used car repair shops during the day. Surveillance in recent days shows that they have several cars coming in and out every night, most likely receiving or transporting certain supplies."

Qin Yuan's eyes were sharp, and a hint of coldness appeared in his tone: "They were the executors who intimidated Zhou Hong this time, and the people behind the scenes instructed them to act. Since they were small gangsters, if they caught these people, we could chase them to a higher level."

Li Cheng hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "Instructor Qin, do you mean... take the initiative?"

"That's right." Qin Yuan said decisively, "The backbone members of this kind of gang are loyal to money, but are absolutely not loyal to life. As long as we can control a few core members, they will speak soon."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Cheng paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Okay, then I will arrange for the police to block the surrounding area. But these people may have weapons on their hands and the operation risks are high. We need a detailed plan."

"I'm responsible for the action." Qin Yuan's tone was low and firm, "You are responsible for the blockade of the periphery to prevent them from escaping. I will take my people in, give priority to controlling their leaders, and then take down this stronghold in one fell swoop."

"I understand." Li Cheng agreed, "We are always on standby tonight."

As night fell, the abandoned car park in the west of the city seemed particularly quiet. The street lights in the distance were dim and dull, and only the occasional metal collision sounds in the car park broke the silence of the night.

Qin Yuan wore a dark tactical suit and took Zhang Chu and two members of the special police team to approach the parking lot. They hid behind an abandoned cargo box and used a night vision device to observe the situation in the parking lot.

Several old cars were parked in the car park, and several men were whispering next to the vehicle, which seemed casual, but from their expressions and movements, they were maintaining a high level of vigilance.

"Instructor, there are six people in the parking lot." Zhang Chu swept around with a night vision device and whispered, "Two of them seemed to have weapons in their hands."

Qin Yuan nodded, his eyes fixed on the man next to a black off-road vehicle in the middle of the parking lot. He was tall, wearing a leather jacket, leaning against the door to smoke, and talking to the people around him in a low tone, looking like the leader here.

"Target confirmation." Qin Yuan whispered, "the person who leaned on the off-road vehicle was probably their leader. If you catch him, others will be in chaos."

"How to act?" Zhang Chu asked.

Qin Yuan calmly analyzed: "There are still a few people outside the parking lot, and we have to deal with them first to avoid subsequent reinforcements. Zhang Chu, you are responsible for cleaning up the two weapons-carried guards on the left. I will lead the team to directly break into the control leader, act quickly, and not give them time to react."

"I understand!" Zhang Chu nodded and tightly grasped the rifle in his hand.

Qin Yuan used gestures to direct the squad to disperse. They quietly penetrated into the interior of the parking lot with the cover of abandoned vehicles and obstacles. Zhang Chu took the lead in action. He gently approached the two guards on the left, held his breath, and pulled the trigger steadily.

"Bang!" With a muffled sound, a guard fell down. The other person reacted, but before he could raise his gun, he was accurately hit by Zhang Chu. After the two fell to the ground, they did not cause any movement.

"The left side is cleaned up." Zhang Chu reported in a low voice.

Qin Yuan nodded and led the remaining team to quickly advance towards the center of the parking lot. They moved quickly and approached the off-road vehicle within a few seconds.

"Don't move!" Qin Yuan suddenly jumped out of the darkness, aiming his gun at the leader, his voice as cold as ice.

The leader was stunned, and the cigarette butt in his mouth fell to the ground. He widened his eyes and tried to retreat, but Qin Yuan had already stepped forward quickly and pressed him to the ground.

"Don't move everyone! Hold your head and squat down!" Zhang Chu and other team members rushed out at the same time, suppressing the remaining people in the parking lot with guns.

The gang members were obviously frightened by the sudden action. They raised their hands in panic and squatted on the ground and dared not move.

Qin Yuan looked at the controlled leader coldly, his tone exuded a terrifying majesty: "Now, you have two choices. Either honestly explain who the person behind the scenes is, or I make you regret participating in this matter now."

The leader's face turned pale and his lips were trembling, and he had obviously lost the courage to resist.

"I...I said! Don't shoot!" He nodded repeatedly, sweat dripping from his forehead, "We just used money to do business. The employer asked me to target Zhou Hong, saying that her company was blocking their way. We really don't know who it is! The task was taken through an intermediary!"

"Who is the middleman?" Qin Yuan's eyes were like a knife.

The leader swallowed his saliva and said tremblingly: "He is a man named 'Gray Wolf'. He is very famous in the local underground circle and is specialized in taking jobs and transferring tasks. All our work is arranged through him..."

"Gray Wolf?" Qin Yuan smiled coldly, his eyes sharper, "Very good, we will find him. At that time, I hope you are saying the truth, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

Immediately, he turned around and ordered Li Cheng: "The parking lot has been cleaned up, everyone will control it and take it back for interrogation. I need to know the whereabouts of this 'gray wolf'!"

The next morning, Qin Yuan appeared in Zhou Hong's company again with a sorted intelligence information. Although the car raid last night achieved a phased victory, he knew that this was just the beginning. Intimidation and destruction were just the enemy's means, and the real purpose was to dismantle Zhou Hong's company from within.

"Mr. Zhou, I need to look at the list of executives in your company and their daily itinerary records." Qin Yuan said straight to the point in Zhou Hong's office.

Zhou Hong was slightly stunned: "The executive list and itinerary record? Do you suspect there is something internally wrong?"

Qin Yuan's eyes were cold and sharp: "Black Claw is just an executor, and the master behind the scenes can grasp the specific information of your company, and there must be an insider providing information. If we can't find the insider, things will continue to happen."

Zhou Hong pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I'll ask the assistant to get the information out."

Soon, a document containing the company's management list and itinerary was placed in front of Qin Yuan. He quickly browsed and focused his attention on several key departments - finance, market and human resources.

"Have you noticed someone's behavior abnormalities recently? Or who has more frequent contact with the outside world?" Qin Yuan asked.

Zhou Hong frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Treasurer Liu Zheng was a little strange recently. Last month, an internal budget of the company was leaked. Although it did not cause any losses in the end, I always felt that something was wrong. And he has always made excuses to ask for leave recently, saying that he had something at home, but his whereabouts were very vague."

Qin Yuan nodded, and a sharp flashed in his eyes: "He is the core figure responsible for the company's financial and capital flow. If someone wants to sabotage it internally, he will have the best chance to get access to confidential information."

"You mean... Liu Zheng might be an insider?" Zhou Hong's face changed slightly.

"I can't confirm it yet." Qin Yuan said calmly, "but he is the most suspicious. I need more time to observe him."

On the morning of that day, Qin Yuan secretly arranged control and observed inside the company as an ordinary visitor. He stood by the window of the company's rest area, his eyes always locked on Liu Zheng's figure.

Liu Zheng is of medium figure, wearing a straight suit, and always has a decent smile on his face, looking like an ordinary workplace elite. But Qin Yuan quickly noticed that his behavior seemed to be too cautious, and he always looked around from time to time, as if he was guarding against something.

During the lunch break, Liu Zheng hurried out of the office and did not go to the employee restaurant, but left the company directly.

"Where has he been?" Qin Yuan whispered to himself, and quickly learned from Zhou Hong's assistant that Liu Zheng's reason for taking leave - "going out to handle private affairs."

Qin Yuan then followed quietly. His movements were light and secret, and he always kept an appropriate distance, so that Liu Zheng would not notice it.
