Early the next morning, Xia Yu woke up early and practiced Tai Chi with Li Chunqiu again. Unfortunately, Li Chunqiu didn't teach him the so-called breathing techniques this time, which left Xia Yu somewhat disappointed. However, Xia Yu didn't press the issue, understanding that these techniques were Li Chunqiu's own, and would be taught when Li Chunqiu deemed it appropriate.
Today, Xia Jun mentioned that he would be going to the police station. Xia Yu didn't stop him but reminded him to stay safe and keep in touch frequently, informing him promptly if anything urgent came up.
Li Chunqiu's medical skills were indeed impressive. After a day of rest, Xia Lei's condition had improved significantly, which reassured Xia Yu.
Additionally, Yan Hong's health had also improved, and he was in good spirits with a rosy complexion. Li Chunqiu informed Yan Shi Ning that treatment for lung cancer would begin today, which made Yan Shi Ning very happy.
In the morning, Xia Yu also checked other newspapers. The incident involving the arson at the Jiuding Newspaper Company's printing plant had been exposed, causing a great stir. The newspaper industry was abuzz with speculation about who was responsible, with many instinctively believing it was the Ma family due to their significant motive.
What others could think, the police also considered. After receiving the report from Jiuding Newspaper Company, the police conducted an overnight investigation. Unfortunately, no results had been found by morning. Xia Yu wasn't concerned; the purpose of having Yan Wenhan report the incident was to ensure that the police focused on the company during this period, making it safer and preventing further accidents.
The morning passed, and in the afternoon, Xia Yu had Yan Shi Ning fetch intelligence again. This time, the information made Xia Yu's spirits lift!
The key intelligence revealed that the Ma family planned to conduct a detergent transaction that night. The International Criminal Police Organization, in conjunction with the Hong Kong police, was preparing to take action tonight to capture Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen on-site, catching them in the act!
The SD organization also provided some specifics about the Ma family's detergent transaction. However, the SD organization warned that there might be internal Ma family members within the police, though they had not yet identified who. Therefore, the accuracy of the plan remained uncertain.
To demonstrate their commitment, the SD organization promised to notify Xia Yu of any new developments and was working diligently to investigate the Ma family's specific transaction routes and their agents within the police.
"Hope they find out for sure!" Xia Yu thought anxiously, feeling increasingly tense.
Tonight, the International Criminal Police Organization was set to act. Although based on past experiences, such operations often failed, and the Ma family might become more cautious and less likely to openly trouble Xia Yu, thus potentially easing Xia Yu's crisis, this was not what Xia Yu wanted!
What he wanted was only one thing: the complete eradication of the Ma family! At this moment, Xia Yu wished he had an intelligence organization on par with the KGB or the FBI, so he wouldn't be so anxious and could fully rely on the SD organization.
"If I get the chance in the future, I must build my own armed forces with all my strength!" Xia Yu resolved silently.
...
Xia Yu thought about the operation involving Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen but knew that Ma Chengkun, who had been targeting him, might still be a significant threat. If Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen were captured, Ma Chengkun and others would likely go into hiding, which was not what Xia Yu wanted.
Xia Yu needed to plan carefully so that when Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen were captured or on the run, other members of the Ma family could also be dealt with.
Xia Yu glanced at Yan Shi Ning and asked brightly, "Yan Ge, do you still have that gun you picked up before?"
"Yes, I've kept it. Do you need it, boss?" Yan Shi Ning asked, preparing to retrieve the gun.
"No need to get it!" Xia Yu quickly stopped him.
"How many bullets are left?" Xia Yu asked again.
"There were 15 bullets in the original magazine, and I found another magazine with 20 bullets in the killer's possession, making a total of 35 bullets," Yan Shi Ning replied promptly, having checked them.
"That's enough!"
"Yan Ge, tonight, if there's a situation, could you take out some people?" Xia Yu asked.
"No problem. Who should I take out?" Yan Shi Ning asked without hesitation.
He knew that Xia Yu's request was to target his enemies, specifically the Ma family members. Yan Shi Ning, who also despised the Ma family, had no objections to dealing with them.
"Specifically the Ma family members, but how to proceed will depend on the intelligence. If the timing is right, I'll need you to handle it!" Xia Yu said.
"Count on me!" Yan Shi Ning promised confidently.
"Okay!"
...
For the rest of the time, Xia Yu stayed by the phone, waiting for the SD organization to provide further intelligence.
In the evening, Xia Jun returned to the medical clinic. Xia Yu speculated that Xia Jun might not yet be qualified to participate in the night's operation due to his current capabilities.
As the sky grew darker and the time for the International Criminal Police Organization and Hong Kong police to take action approached, Xia Yu grew increasingly anxious. The SD organization had yet to provide any information, adding to his impatience.
During this time, Xia Yu also sent Yan Shi Ning to the previous specific location to fetch intelligence but found none, which left him disappointed.
"Tick-tock! Tick-tock!"
Xia Yu periodically glanced at his watch, feeling extremely anxious. Xia Jun and Yan Shi Ning, aware of the situation, shared his anxiety.
Soon, it was nine o'clock at night, a time when the Ma family was likely starting their operations!
Xia Yu could no longer sit still. The stakes were high, and he silently prayed for a successful outcome.
At this moment—
"Ring, ring, ring…"
The shrill sound of the phone rang, but to Xia Yu, it was the most wonderful sound in the world.
It was hoped that the call was from the SD organization!
Xia Yu quickly answered the phone.
"Hello…"
Seeing the look of joy on Xia Yu's face, Xia Jun and Yan Shi Ning breathed a sigh of relief, holding their breath to avoid disturbing Xia Yu, fearful that he might not hear clearly.
"…"
After hanging up, Xia Yu quickly took out paper and pen and wrote rapidly, soon finishing.
He then handed the note to Xia Jun, instructing, "Jun Ge, this is for you. The International Criminal Police Organization is already on the move. The Ma family is indeed throwing a smokescreen. The route and transaction location written here are the Ma family's actual details. You need to deliver this to the International Criminal Police Organization immediately. Bring your police credentials and make sure to persuade them. Don't let the Ma family escape!"
"Jun Ge, we have identified one internal Ma family agent within the police. His name is on the note. There might be others, but it's certain that the International Criminal Police Organization has no Ma family members. For safety, ensure the intelligence reaches them."
"Yan Ge, drive Jun Ge there, please!"
"By the way, Yan Ge, you remember the layout of the Ma family's residence and the main characters' photos, right? After Jun Ge confirms delivering the intelligence to the International Criminal Police Organization, you should go undercover near the Ma family's residence. Wait for an hour, then seize the opportunity to take out the main Ma family members!"
Xia Yu outlined the entire plan in one breath.
Xia Jun and Yan Shi Ning nodded, with Xia Jun tightly holding the intelligence.
"Please take care of this!" Xia Yu said solemnly once more.
Xia Jun and Yan Shi Ning nodded seriously. With time pressing, they said nothing more. Yan Shi Ning grabbed the gun and quickly left with Xia Jun.
Xia Yu watched their departing figures, clenching his fists with anticipation.
It must succeed!
Once this trouble is resolved, he can finally focus on developing his business with peace of mind!
