A compound outside Washington, D.C.
As an intelligence department, Su Tiannan set out three days earlier than Wang An and his team and arrived in Washington. During these three days, they kept tracking and scouting, using intelligence personnel to find out Yi Sheng's personal information, and finally figured out some of his activity patterns.
Everything was ready. Su Tiannan's men sent the relevant information to Wang An, and then waited for cooperation in their actions.
Two days later, Wang An's people also arrived, but they did not live with Su Tiannan. The two sides agreed to meet later, and it was almost noon, so everyone ate while waiting.
Su Tiannan and his family lived in a spacious courtyard. At this time, four people were sitting around a table, eating a steaming hot pot. A brother was left outside the courtyard gate, sitting in the car to observe the surrounding situation. The place where they lived was relatively remote, located in the countryside of Washington. The distance between the single-family villas was large, so there were not many people around, and only a few dogs could be heard occasionally.
While they were eating, the gate to the courtyard was suddenly pushed open.
Su Tiannan turned around and found that it was Liu Tao who came back, so he smiled and greeted him: "You're back, come sit down and have dinner."
Liu Tao nodded, walked quickly to the table, sat down next to Su Tiannan, then reached out to take the bowl and chopsticks handed to him by the team member next to him.
"Have you finished checking everything?" Su Tiannan picked up the dipping sauce and placed it in front of Liu Tao.
"Yes, I've finished the investigation." Liu Tao nodded: "But my face is almost cooked over there, so I can't follow him anymore. If I continue to follow him, there's a risk of being exposed."
"Okay, Wang An and the others are about to arrive, so leave the rest to them." Su Tiannan nodded, and continued to eat with everyone.
Su Tiannan ate while lowering his head to send messages from time to time. Liu Tao saw it and couldn't help laughing: "Who are you sending messages to? Taotao again?"
"Yeah, hehe." Su Tiannan said without raising his head.
"You've been dating for several years, right?" Liu Tao couldn't help but ask, "When are you two going to get married? We're all waiting for your wedding!"
As soon as Liu Tao finished speaking, the three team members around him nodded in agreement.
"Yes, Director, hurry up!"
"You're getting married, so we can all take some time off."
“…!”
"I don't have time now." Su Tiannan waved his hand: "Look how busy I am. I don't have the chance. Let's talk about it later."
"Don't delay too long." Liu Tao reminded Su Tiannan: "You can wait, Mr. Zhang may be very anxious."
Su Tiannan smiled and didn't answer. He also wanted to give Taotao an explanation, but now was not the right time. Fortunately, Taotao was also a sensible woman and never urged him on these matters.
Su Tiannan put down his phone and changed the subject: "Liu Tao, how is your family? Last time I heard you talking about your child being sick, is he feeling better?"
"Ah!" Hearing Su Tiannan's question, Liu Tao couldn't help but sigh: "When you mention this, I feel a little upset."
"What's going on?" Su Tiannan looked at Liu Tao with concern.
"My wife took him to a big hospital in the Chinese district." Liu Tao got angry when he thought about it: "The doctor said that the child's heart is not in good condition."
Su Tiannan frowned slightly: "Is it serious?"
"It's OK, not serious." Liu Tao waved his hand: "But strenuous exercise is definitely not allowed. I'm thinking that after this job is over, I'll take a long vacation and go back to spend some time with them."
"The child is still young, it's not too late to treat him now, you don't have to worry too much." Su Tiannan comforted him, "I'll ask Captain Wang to help me find some connections in the Chinese district. The medical level there is still good."
"Thanks, Director." Liu Tao nodded. He was silent for a while, and couldn't help sighing: "In the past two years, I have been busy outside all day and haven't been with them much... After this period of busyness is over, you get married and I will go home to take care of the children for a while, haha!"
"Haha, OK!"
Su Tiannan also smiled and nodded, and greeted softly: "Come, eat."
After a brief chat, the five brothers stopped talking about family and started talking about work while eating.
After about twenty minutes, the gate was pushed open and the team members who were on guard outside walked in.
"Chief, Captain Wang and his team are here." The team member said softly.
"Yeah." Su Tiannan and the others immediately stood up to greet them. Soon, Wang An and five members of the action team walked into the yard.
In order to assassinate Yi Sheng, Wang An brought more than 20 elite members of the action team and divided them into five groups, scattered in different places in the Chinese district. The five people around him were one of the groups, led by him personally.
"Come on, Brother Wang, it's time to eat, come and have a bite."
"Haha, the food in your intelligence team is pretty good. Can you even have hot pot while working?"
"Normally there is no such opportunity. When my people were with Yi Sheng, the other party was in a meeting. They were observing in the supermarket outside and bought some things by the way. Otherwise, it would be easy to be suspected." Su Tiannan greeted: "Come, sit down."
The two men exchanged a few words of greeting, and then Su Tiannan pulled Wang An and the others to sit around the table and eat together.
"How's the situation?" Wang An was thinking about the mission, and after sitting down, he asked directly about the intelligence.
"I've been following him for several days." Su Tiannan lit a cigarette and said slowly, "But Yi Sheng is very cautious. When he has nothing to do, he stays in the compound of the Central Bureau and never comes out. If he goes out for work, he is always protected by two teams. And I asked an insider to find out. He never reveals his itinerary in advance. He always changes routes halfway before going to the destination."
"So cautious?" Wang An frowned slightly: "Is there no way out?"
"It's not that there is none." Su Tiannan's eyes fell on Liu Tao: "It was Liu Tao who discovered it, tell me what you think?"
"Although this old guy is cautious, he also has some hobbies..." Liu Tao chuckled, "He is a lecherous person and doesn't like to look for professional pleasure players. I watched him for five days. During these five days, he had two talks and found different women in his spare time. But judging from the residences of the two women, they should have maintained a long-term sexual relationship with Yi Sheng."
"That's the situation." Su Tiannan took over the topic and suggested, "We just need to keep an eye on him and wait for him to be happy before we find an opportunity to strike. After all, this is not a job for three people, and he will definitely not bring security personnel into the bedroom."
"Well, that's all we can do." Wang An nodded: "Thank you for your hard work these past two days. Leave the rest to me."
"Do you want me to go with you?" Su Tiannan asked.
“No need.” Wang An waved his hand: “You two won’t be a big problem. You can just be responsible for the support outside when the time comes.”
"That's fine." Su Tiannan threw away his cigarette butt and said, "Everyone, take your chopsticks. We can talk about the rest while we eat."
Only then did Wang An and the others pick up their chopsticks and start eating.
…
Half an hour later, Wang An and his team made a plan and left.
Five places.
Gwen stood with her hands behind her back, looking out the window, her eyes a little dazed and cautious.
