Chapter: 1873

He sensed something peculiar, reached out to feel the inner pocket of Teng Lin Qingtan's upper garment, and indeed found a phone there.

This phone seemed to be specifically modified with a vibration motor, shortening the vibration period and reducing the vibration force by a significant margin, estimated to be for concealing one's whereabouts when the phone is exposed.

At this moment, the phone's screen displayed an information message. Yè Chén used Teng Lin Qingtan's finger to unlock the phone, then saw a text message from Tang Lin Zhengzhe, with content as short as two digits: "07."

Yè Chén furrowed his brow involuntarily and scrolled up their text record, finding that all exchanges were numerical codes of just two digits. Tang Lin Zhengzhe sent a 03, and Teng Lin Qingtan replied with an 11.

Yè Chén conjectured that this should be some sort of code agreement between them, only they knew the meaning behind these different numbers. This way, they could achieve basic encrypted communication, even if someone else got their hands on Teng Lin Qingtan's phone and still wouldn't know what content was being transmitted.

However, Yè Chén felt that Tang Lin Zhengzhe's 07 should be a genuine inquiry about Teng Lin Qingtan's tracking status.

Thinking this over, he folded the phone in half with both hands, then looked at it as if it had lost power. He then stuffed the phone back into Teng Lin Qingtan's pocket.

Next, he took out his own phone and called Chen Zehuai.

The moment he finished calling, he instructed: "Old Chen, let your hands prepare a light-cold vehicle, then head to the riverside park in the city outskirts."

Chen Zehuai was taken aback and asked: "Young master, what's the purpose of using a cold vehicle?"

Yè Chén spoke calmly: "Making an ice pop for oneself."

As soon as Chen Zehuai heard these words, he tightened up and asked urgently: "Young master, didn't you get attacked?! Are you okay?!"

"Of course I'm fine." Yè Chén said. "You hurry and follow my instructions. Go find the vehicle first, and I'll send you the address later."

"Okay!"

At this very moment, inside a hotel room in Nagoya city...

Teng Lin Zhengzhe was preparing to secretly install wiretaps in Yè Chén's room for prudence' sake. He sent Teng Lin Qingtan a message, asking about his whereabouts and how long he would be away.

If Yè Chén didn't return anytime soon, he could confidently enter his room.

However, after sending the message, Teng Lin Qingtan didn't respond, leaving him feeling slightly uneasy.

The other two disciples were also in his room, seeing Teng Lin Qingtan didn't respond to messages, and everyone's expression was somewhat uneasy.

They had been working closely together for so many years, each other extremely familiar, and their information exchange would never be delayed under any circumstances. Information basically responded within seconds, and there had never been a case of not responding for a few minutes.

Teng Lin Zhengzhe couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Could it be that Qingtan has been discovered by the other side?"

One of the disciples opened his mouth and said: "It's impossible, Teacher! Old Four's hiding ability is the strongest. If he really did this, even we three combined might not be able to detect him. How could a Chinese person possibly notice his tracks?"

Teng Lin Zhengzhe waved his hand solemnly and pondered deeply: "Qingtan hasn't responded for so long, which is clearly abnormal. So, discussing his abilities is no longer meaningful. The key is to find him out!"

Thinking of this, he hastily sent another message to Teng Lin Qingtan - a string of numbers that read 10,000, meaning urgent response!

However, the information was sent out and still sank like a stone into the sea! JrNovels.com
