Chapter 186 Searching for Evidence
Chapter 186 Searching for Evidence
"This is my son, named Lin Yehan," Lin Yufeng introduced with a smile.
Lin Yehan stood tall and straight like a pine tree, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and a face as handsome as jade. His black brocade robe further accentuated his extraordinary temperament.
Song Wanning's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she smiled gently, saying softly, "Your son is truly a handsome man, with a dignified appearance and elegant demeanor."
"Your Highness is too kind. My son still has many shortcomings and needs more experience," Lin Yehan replied with a slight bow and humility.
After exchanging a few words with them, Song Wanning said no more.
Lin Yufeng knew that this noble princess was not one for many words, so he took his leave and turned to leave with Lin Yehan.
As the guests gradually arrived, Lin Yufeng walked steadily onto the stage and said in a loud voice, "I am deeply grateful to all of you distinguished guests for taking the time to attend this banquet today. I hope you will all enjoy the joyful time tonight."
After he finished speaking, a round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience. Lin Yufeng then signaled for the banquet to officially begin.
In an instant, the musicians played melodious and beautiful music, the tunes gentle and graceful, like heavenly sounds.
Accompanied by beautiful music, a group of dancers dressed in gorgeous costumes gracefully entered the arena. Their long sleeves flowed freely, their figures were elegant and graceful, and they danced like butterflies among flowers, a delightful sight to behold.
Just then, Song Wanning subtly reached out and gently pressed the small communicator hidden behind her ear.
After a slight buzzing sound, Xia Wei's slightly anxious voice came through the communicator: "How is it?"
Song Wanning lowered her voice and replied, "The banquet is proceeding as planned. The infiltration team can prepare to move out."
"Received!" Xia Wei replied from the other end.
Then, Song Wanning turned to look at Ye Chuxue beside her. Their eyes met, and they instantly understood each other.
Ye Chuxue nodded slightly, then stood up without making a sound and quietly left the banquet.
Ye Chuxue left the banquet gracefully, her elegant figure disappearing silently into the crowd like a ghost in the dark night.
Following the pre-planned route, she quickly traversed dark corridors and silent gardens, finally arriving at an extremely secluded corner.
This place has been carefully set up as a temporary command post, with several simple tables neatly arranged and covered with various maps, documents and communication equipment.
In the corner, several teammates responsible for providing support stood silently like statues, their expressions serious, fully armed, and gripping their weapons tightly, as if ready to face a fierce battle at any moment.
"Captain, when exactly are we supposed to make our move?" one of the team members asked Ye Chuxue in a low voice, unable to contain his anxiety.
Ye Chuxue slightly raised her head, glanced at the exquisite watch on her wrist, and then replied in a low but firm voice, "Wait a little longer. We must wait until the enemy is completely off guard."
Meanwhile, at the lively banquet, Song Wanning, dressed in a gorgeous long dress, sat elegantly in her seat.
She appeared nonchalant, but in reality, she keenly observed the dancers gracefully performing in the center of the stage. However, her attention was always focused on every move around her.
Not far away, Lin Yehan was also at the banquet.
He was handsome and dashing, yet at this moment, his gaze kept unconsciously drifting towards Song Wanning's direction.
This seemingly delicate princess seemed to exude a mysterious aura that deeply attracted him, making him want to explore her further.
Suddenly, a very faint commotion came from outside.
Although the sound was as faint as a mosquito's buzz, it was extremely sensitive to a well-trained bodyguard.
It turned out that the team members lying in ambush on the outskirts accidentally triggered a well-hidden sentry alarm device during the operation.
In an instant, the atmosphere at the banquet became tense. The guests, who had been laughing and chatting, stopped what they were doing and looked alarmed.
Seeing this, Lin Yufeng quickly stood up, raised his hands, and loudly reassured the guests, "Please don't panic, everyone. It's probably just a minor accident. I've already sent people to check on it. Please continue to enjoy tonight's feast."
As he spoke, he subtly signaled to his trusted subordinates with his eyes to hurry to the scene of the incident and find out what was going on.
Song Wanning was startled; she knew the situation might have changed.
Just then, Ye Chuxue's calm and collected voice came through the earpiece: "Sister, don't panic, we will resolve this emergency as soon as possible." Hearing this, Song Wanning calmed down a little and silently prayed that everything would go smoothly.
Song Wanning took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She had to continue playing her role well and not let the whole plan fail.
Ye Chuxue took the opportunity to crack the code, and the group entered the basement.
The basement has a complex layout, and there are personnel constantly patrolling it.
Ye Chuxue released a hint of foxy charm, and soon the entire basement fell into a deep sleep.
Ye Chuxue hurriedly led her people to search the basement, while on the other side, just as the bodyguards were about to lead their men to investigate, a small team suddenly appeared outside the courtyard gate.
"Hello, we are from the security team. We have received a report of suspected illegal drug use here and need to conduct a routine inspection," Xia Wei said with her team.
The bodyguards exchanged glances, and the one in the lead frowned and said, "We don't have any illegal drugs here. It must be a misunderstanding."
Xia Wei, however, looked serious and took out a document, waving it around. "This is an anonymous tip. We have to go in and search. If there's nothing there, we won't wrong an innocent person."
Xia Wei's task was to stall everyone and create an opportunity for Ye Chuxue.
Ye Chuxue soon arrived at a huge underground factory, where red potion was being produced continuously.
Ye Chuxue took down a bottle, smelled it, and said with a serious expression, "It seems this is an illegal potion."
"Proceed according to plan. Team one is responsible for collecting evidence, and team two is responsible for planting the explosives!"
Outside, Xia Wei was exchanging glances with her bodyguard. The bodyguard was in a dilemma; if he stopped her, he would feel guilty, but if he didn't, things would get even worse if they found out.
A gentle voice came from behind: "Miss, this may be a misunderstanding."
Everyone turned to look and saw Lin Yehan walking over.
Xia Wei snorted coldly, "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, we'll find out after the search."
Lin Yehan remained gentle, "Miss, please don't act rashly. A hasty search could have negative consequences."
Just as Xia Wei was about to retort, Ye Chuxue's voice came through the earpiece, "Let's finish this quickly, the evidence collection here is almost complete."
Xia Wei became even more confident. "Young Master Lin, we are just following the rules. Please do us a favor." The bodyguards behind Lin Yehan were itching to act, and the people Xia Wei brought also gripped their weapons.
