We Can't Afford to Gamble

"What... what are you doing?"

The young man with yellow hair asked nervously and stammered.

The two plainclothes officers had a perplexed expression on their faces.

One of them, disregarding his companion's pull, angrily interrogated.

"Damn it! How dare you ask me what I'm doing?"

"Why are you here?"

The young man with yellow hair first looked puzzled.

Then his pupils suddenly lit up.

A joyful expression appeared on his face.

Nervously, he said,

"We're going to catch a tiger tonight!"

The two plainclothes officers were dumbfounded.

They looked at each other in confusion.

"I asked you, what are you doing here?!"

The more impatient officer gritted his teeth and asked.

He felt like the young man with yellow hair was playing a trick on him.

The young man with yellow hair scratched his head and repeated,

"We're going to catch a tiger tonight!"

At the same time, another plainclothes officer hurriedly ran over.

"Sorry, my two buddies mistook you for me, they got the wrong person."

After apologizing, the three of them left.

The young man with yellow hair and sneakers was stunned for a moment, then a thick smile reappeared on his face.

He looked around again, left and right.

It seemed that he didn't find what he was looking for.

With some regret, he left.

"Catch a tiger tonight?"

Han Fei looked at Chen Ke and asked, "Do you know what that means?"

Chen Ke thought for a moment and analyzed, "That person doesn't seem like a lunatic, since he's not a lunatic, yet he said something crazy."

"So, the hidden meaning behind it is worth pondering!"

"But it's also possible that the person was just talking nonsense."

Han Fei nodded and agreed, "That's possible."

Just as Han Fei was about to say something else,

A voice came through the walkie-talkie.

"Han Team, there's another suspicious person approaching the trash bin!"

"What?!"

Han Fei and Chen Ke became fully alert.

Their eyes returned to the trash bin.

This time, the person who approached was a middle-aged man dressed like a real estate agent.

The real estate agent acted just like the young man with yellow hair earlier.

First, he looked around.

Then he sneakily came to the trash bin.

And he reached his hand inside.

"Damn it! This time it must be him!"

Chen Ke's gaze burned, and he couldn't help but curse.

Han Fei's eyes were sharp, as if he could see through a person's heart.

He picked up the walkie-talkie.

As long as that real estate agent had a black travel bag in his hand the next moment,

The plainclothes officers hiding among the crowd would immediately arrest him!

Even though there was just the example of the young man with yellow hair accidentally stumbling upon them earlier!

Finally, it turned out that he wasn't the suspect.

No one among them relaxed in the slightest.

On the contrary, they became even more nervous.

Their eyes were fixed on the real estate agent.

After a short while,

The real estate agent withdrew his hand from the trash bin.

He didn't have anything in his hand.

He simply put something in and then took it out.

This action completely baffled them.

"What's going on? What does that person mean?"

"I don't know, I don't understand."

"The only thing we can know is that the middle-aged man, like the young man with yellow hair earlier, is not the suspect."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief!

They didn't have to wait long before someone else approached the trash bin!

Everyone staring at the trash bin had an expression of frustration.

What the hell!

What's going on here!

This time, it was a girl with a good appearance.

The girl was wearing Hanfu (traditional Chinese clothing).

She did the same thing as the previous two.

Sneakily, the figure approached and arrived at the side of the trash bin, peering inside.

Then the hand reached in.

Waited for about a minute or two.

Then took it out, empty-handed, without touching anything.

Immediately after, the figure left.

Everyone's emotions were like riding a roller coaster.

Up and down!

Sometimes nervous, sometimes relieved.

And then nervous again.

This went on and on!

On this side of the trash bin, people came one after another.

A total of six people came!

They were: Huang, the young man with blonde hair and bean shoes; the middle-aged man from the agency; the beautiful girl dressed in Hanfu; the successful person in a suit and leather shoes; the child eating a lollipop; and the old lady carrying a vegetable basket.

Once or twice was fine.

But then more people came, and it was unacceptable!

At this moment, Han Fei and Chen Ke sensed that something was wrong.

"Damn it! Those people are definitely here to gather information. Without a doubt, they were invited by that guy. We just don't know where he's hiding!"

Chen Ke clenched his fists.

The next time, no matter who it is.

If they dare to approach the trash bin and put their hand inside.

He will grab them right away!

Han Fei had nothing to say. It was evident that he strongly agreed with Chen Ke's point of view.

His gaze became even more profound.

The next moment.

Buzz... Ring...

Suddenly, Han Fei's phone in his pocket vibrated.

He pressed the answer button.

An urgent voice came from the other end!

"Han, Xu Mo has withdrawn five million from the bank card!"

"What?!"

Han Fei was taken aback.

As an experienced former captain of the Criminal Investigation Division, his intuition told him.

This was most likely a trap!

But he couldn't worry about too much at this moment. Han Fei continued to ask, "What exactly happened?"

"Just now, the technicians discovered some activity. Xu Mo's bank card is showing a withdrawal!"

"Where?"

"At the second intersection of Chengnan Avenue, next to the traffic lights, by the ATM of the bank!"

Beep beep... The call ended.

Chen Ke had a bad feeling.

"What's wrong, Han?"

Han Fei explained briefly, "Someone has withdrawn money from Xu Mo's bank card."

Chen Ke was momentarily stunned, furrowing his brows as he analyzed, "This kind of behavior is undoubtedly a dead end. He must have a purpose for doing this!"

Chen Ke's words made sense.

"Just now, we analyzed that Xu Mo was definitely observing us nearby. It didn't take long before Xu Mo's bank card had activity, and it was in the opposite direction from here! Quite far away!"

Pausing for a moment, Han Fei's gaze deepened. "It's impossible for there to be two Xu Mos at the same time, right?"

His mind was working quickly.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be sitting in the position of the former captain of the Criminal Investigation Division.

Chen Ke said in a deep voice, "That's impossible!"

"That's right. Let's continue to delve into the meaning behind his actions. We can't let him lead us by the nose! Why should we comply with him?" Chen Ke's temper flared up. It was so damn frustrating. They had become tied-up cattle, completely devoid of any backbone!

However, in the next moment, Han Fei's face was filled with helplessness as he said a sentence.

"By holding the initiative in his hands, it's true that it has been dispersed. He has the opportunity to gamble, and it doesn't matter if he fails once, but we can't afford to! Because we can't gamble!"

It was exactly as Han Fei had said.

Chen Ke understood it too.

But there was an indescribable feeling of frustration!

Han Fei patted his shoulder.

"No need to blame yourself. From the very beginning, he cleverly exploited our minds! That's why he divided the money into two portions!"

"The one we can't gamble against for the money is not Xu Mo, and the one we can't gamble on this side is not Xu Mo."

"This kid is absolutely certain that we can't afford to gamble, that we don't dare to gamble! Step by step, he's setting us up, so even though we know there might be deception, we still have to give over a portion! If there's even a slight chance that it's true, we're done for!"

"Who should we send?" Chen Ke calmed down, just as Han Fei had suggested, they didn't even have the qualification to gamble!

Han Fei took a deep breath and expressed his thoughts.

"Let Man Ni and Li Chen lead half of the brothers over. If they encounter the real Xu Mo on that side, they'll have enough manpower to make the arrest!"

Chen Ke nodded and took out the communication device to arrange the tasks as instructed by Han Fei.

Among the plainclothes officers mixed in the crowd, their numbers quickly decreased by half.

Two white Haval H9 vehicles swiftly raced along the main road.

Heading towards the second intersection of Chengnan Avenue.

Inside one of the cars, Shen Man Ni furrowed her eyebrows, feeling that something was increasingly amiss!

"Xu Mo wants us to disperse our forces, obviously knowing that we can't have it both ways, we must abandon one of them. Do you think he'll take advantage of our absence?"

Li Chen replied, "Hard to say. What if Xu Mo does the opposite, withdraws money from the bank over there? We'll be in big trouble if we have a bunch of people standing guard in one place!"

Shen Man Ni's face turned serious. It was a pity that she was still a novice in criminal psychology.

She couldn't accurately grasp Xu Mo's true intentions.

Regardless of which side they chose, as long as they made the wrong choice, they would bear the corresponding responsibility and pay a heavy price!

Therefore, no one dared to gamble!
