Chapter 575: Chapter 572: Tracking and Counter-Tracking

Lin Tian kicked the henchman on the ground and asked, "Which one is this?"

"Only the second one, we’ve just started. They won’t notice so quickly that I’ve tampered with their communication signals. They’ll just think the signal is bad," Ning Luoxi said.

"That’s true. As long as the auction heats up, they won’t be able to spare any attention. If they only send subordinates to inform others, we can take them down one by one. I hope Thunder Wolf and Ghost can quickly find the rat’s nest," Lin Tian agreed, also having to admire Ning Luoxi’s high-tech methods. She was very skilled in using surveillance and counter-surveillance.

"Things might not go that smoothly. Just now, Thunder Wolf reported that after the three cars with safes were intercepted, he and Ghost split their team into three squads to track the enemies, but until now, the enemies are still driving in circles around Kyoto City, with no intention of returning to their den," Ning Luoxi said with a frown.

They were racing against time now, needing to find the Gu Cultivator’s den or location before the auction ended, and time was extremely tight.

Lin Tian thought for a moment and said, "The enemy isn’t stupid. No matter if there’s a trap or not, they will certainly be cautious. The more cautious they are, the more it indicates that the place they’re going to is important. I think this is actually a good thing."

"You’re such an optimist," Ning Luoxi, seeming to find some reason in his words, said with a smile.

"I’m not optimistic, it’s just that I’m confident. Even if we can’t find the Gu Cultivator this time, I don’t think it’s a big deal. He can come after me all he wants in the future, but I have never been afraid of a challenge," Lin Tian said confidently.

"Also, it’s not like we don’t have a way to track them to the end," he added.

"Are you thinking of..." Ning Luoxi gave him a glance, saying in surprise.

Lin Tian smiled faintly and said, "You guessed right. If we still haven’t found the Gu Cultivator by the end of the auction, we can just kidnap Futian Yizhi, Bai Zhengchu, and the others and continue to track them."

"The Bai Family is not much of a concern, but Futian Yizhi is an important figure in Rizhao Group. Aren’t you afraid of poking a hornet’s nest by kidnapping him?" Ning Luoxi said with an expressionless face.

"Give me a lever, and I dare lift the Earth. Am I going to be afraid of Rizhao Group?" Lin Tian spread his hands and said indifferently.

Ning Luoxi shook her head and said, "I have to remind you, Rizhao Group is the largest consortium in Japan, and it’s not as simple as a business syndicate. But I can feel that you’re not just boasting; I really don’t know where this tremendous confidence of yours comes from?"

"Heh, Miss Luoxi, don’t try to figure me out. I’m afraid the more you know, the more you’ll fall in love with me," Lin Tian said jokingly on purpose.

He really did it on purpose, just to see what Ning Luoxi, who always maintained a cold and tough demeanor, would look like if embarrassed.

As for the women around him, Lin Tian had some understanding. If Miss heard this teasing, she would definitely explode in anger immediately. If Xiao Manxuan heard it, she would definitely blush and greet him with a fist. If Zi Yan heard it, this seductive Senior Sister would definitely flirt back.

If it were Zhang Lingyu? Lin Tian questioned in his mind, suddenly realizing that this beautiful school beauty was somewhat mysterious and hard to figure out. If it were Mrs. Xiao, oh, he had thought too much. How could his thoughts drift there? Lin Tian harshly criticized himself.

Well, actually, he also wanted to know how the always elegant Mrs. Xiao would react. Damn, he was thinking too much again. Lin Tian self-criticized once more.

If it were Ning Luoxi, unfortunately, she had no reaction at all, still looking at him with an unchanged expression, as if she was immune to Lin Tian’s jokes.

True to her nature as a ferocious female warrior, just as noble people regard wealth as muck, Ning Luoxi regards handsome men as muck. Lin Tian had to admire that, although his narcissistic heart felt slightly hurt.

As Lin Tian was straying further down the path of shamelessness, his smart wristband suddenly vibrated. Somewhat stirred, he looked at Ning Luoxi. Her expression had changed, which meant she must have received a call as well.

The signals at Tianfu Restaurant had been blocked long ago, so any incoming calls must be from Thunder Wolf, Ghost, and the others.

Lin Tian pressed the answer button, and Ghost’s voice came through the micro earpiece: "Brother Tian, there’s new information. The target has finally left the downtown area; it looks like they’re heading out of the city."

"Oh? Finally heading back? Good, keep following them, and be careful. The enemy isn’t just a few Ninja Warriors. They have snipers and even stranger things appearing. Everything should prioritize your safety. Understood?" Lin Tian instructed, reminded of the Half Zombies he had encountered in the wilderness outside Xikou City.

"Understood. These Japanese are really cunning; they’ve almost made us dizzy with their tricks. We know they’re not simple and we won’t let our guard down," Ghost responded.

"That’s good to hear. End the call if there’s nothing else, to avoid being detected by the targets," Lin Tian said finally.

"Got it. Call ended," Ghost quickly hung up the call.

This was on Japanese territory, and while Ning Luoxi could use her surveillance skills to block signals, it was possible that the Gu Cultivator had counter-surveillance measures to eavesdrop on them.

By then Ning Luoxi had also finished her call. Lin Tian asked, "How’s the situation on your side?"

"They’ve finally left the downtown area. It seems the Gu Cultivator’s den is outside the city. But this is better. There are so many people in the city that if we fight with them, the impact would be no less than dropping a heavy bomb. If the battle happens in a densely populated area, innocent people could be hurt," Ning Luoxi analyzed.

"Also, let’s take a look at the map to see where they are now," she continued, pulling out the tablet computer she had used before.

After opening the tablet, a satellite map of Kyoto City appeared. Lin Tian saw that on the edge of the city map, there were three different routes, each with several flashing points moving quickly.

But Lin Tian counted the number of flashing points and felt that something was off, like something was missing.

"Miss Luoxi, didn’t you say that all three safes had satellite tracking devices? Why can’t I see the signals of the three safes on the map?" Lin Tian asked, puzzled.

"The enemy is more difficult to deal with than we expected. After they intercepted our safes, they must have put them in a device that can block satellite signals. Such devices are hard to find but not difficult for the Gu Cultivator to get," Ning Luoxi explained.

"So you’re saying that if Thunder Wolf and Ghost lose track of the targets, we also can’t rely on the satellite positioning system to locate these Japanese?" Lin Tian asked further.

"That’s right. Now we can only rely on Thunder Wolf and the others to stick to them closely. After all, we are in Japan, on their turf. It’s already a good achievement to have come this far," Ning Luoxi nodded and said.
