Cough, cough..."
"Cough, cough..."
Old Master Lin and Butler Wang Si couldn't stop coughing; both of them were advanced in age, so how could they endure such choking smoke?
At this moment.
Butler Wang Si instinctively moved to raise his hand and open the window to clear out the smoke.
Swish!
Old Master Lin directly grabbed Butler Wang Si's arm, his gaze flickering as he shook his head slightly.
Seeing this,
Butler Wang Si seemed to think of something as his expression changed slightly!
Neither of them was a fool, especially Old Master Lin, who had already been extremely on guard against Qin Jiang and the others. They had sensed something was wrong when the three of them were smoking cigars, and now needing to open the window because of this smoke made it even more suspicious.
Why were the three of them smoking cigars?
Smoking cigars would produce a large amount of smoke!
If there was smoke, they would open the windows!
Opening the windows...
At this very moment, their vehicles were definitely under surveillance. What would it mean if one of the cars suddenly opened its window? It was very likely a signal left behind in advance by Qin Jiang for the outside world...
It could very well expose their car!
Therefore, the window could not be opened!
But if they didn't open it...
"Cough, cough..."
"Cough, cough..."
"This is fucking choking!"
There was at least half an hour's journey left to the destination; wouldn't they be choked to death by this on the way?
Thinking of this,
Old Master Lin gave Butler Wang Si a look and pointed at the sunroof. Butler Wang Si understood and immediately took out a specially-made signal transmitter from his pocket, typing a few words on it.
He didn't transmit the signal right away!
Instead, he endured it for a full three minutes. When the vehicle passed a certain intersection, he pressed send. Moreover, he didn't press it just once; he pressed the send button seven or eight times before stopping!
The special signal transmitter in his hand was bought at the same time as the jammer, and it was the same brand product! Only this set of products could break through the shielding of this jammer! Because the jammer was too powerful, even this signal-transmitting machine that could break through the signal could only transmit a few dozen meters, and could not even guarantee a successful transmission every time. That was why he waited until they drove to that intersection to stop, because there were people they had arranged in advance at that intersection.
At the same time!
He also pressed it several times before stopping to ensure it could be transmitted out.
...
Intersection!
In front of a bus stop bench, a young man seemed to be waiting for a bus, holding his phone and looking at it boredly.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly.
He saw three messages appear on his phone:
"Smoking, smoke, open the sunroof!"
"Smoking, smoke, open the sunroof!"
"Smoking, smoke, open the sunroof!"
Swish!
The young man's eyes narrowed slightly!
He was precisely the hidden agent arranged here by the Lin Group. Of course, he wasn't the only hidden agent, but he was the one activated. Immediately, he didn't dare to delay and mass-forwarded all the received information to everyone. Afterwards, just like anyone else, he quietly got on a bus and left, with no one able to see anything unusual about him. After all, in the real world, if someone wanted to put up a disguise, it was very difficult for others to detect anything unusual. Situations like those in TV dramas where someone could see right through a person at a glance and spot who had a problem were normally very rare.
...
After he sent out the message,
the front-seat passengers of the other hundreds of commercial vehicles all received the message:
"Quick! Just received word! Smoke! Smoke immediately! Smoke a few more to create the smoke... and then open the sunroof..."
"Smoke? What? Didn't bring cigarettes, you guys actually don't smoke... Holy shit! I don't smoke either... Forget it! Open the sunroof directly..."
"Quick... execute the order..."
Suddenly, the people inside hundreds of commercial vehicles all took out cigarettes and started smoking, some even lighting a dozen at once. Although they weren't smoking cigars, the combined quantity made the smoke extremely dense, quickly filling the air, and then they all opened their sunroofs...
If viewed from high above, one could see all hundreds of commercial vehicles successively opening their sunroofs, with the vast majority of them having smoke drifting out from inside. After all, nowadays, the probability of an entire carload of people not smoking was very low, extremely low.
...
"Open the window..."
Old Master Lin directly gave the order.
Swish...
Butler Wang Si opened the sunroof!
Puffs of smoke drifted out through the sunroof!
Old Master Lin had calculated the timing for opening the sunroof; his calculation was extremely precise! It was still about half, blending in seamlessly among the numerous commercial vehicles. Afterwards, his gaze fell upon the three of them—Chairman Qin: "Chairman Qin! This old man is getting on in years and can't take the smell of smoke. If you keep smoking or if there are any other issues, this old man will have no choice but to stop accompanying you there."
He was clearly threatening the three of them, telling them that if they pulled any more small tricks, their cooperation would be canceled. Sure enough, the expressions of the three people, including Qin Jiang, darkened slightly, especially Si Jiu, whose face welled up with a trace of anxiety...
He kept casting his gaze toward Qin Jiang...
Qin Jiang, however, remained calm on the surface, looking up at the opened sunroof and the dissipating smoke: "Of course no problem!"
He patted Si Jiu's hand to signal him to calm down!
On the side,
Zhu Zheng wore a solemn expression and didn't speak...
...
Seeing this,
Old Master Lin couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. He could tell that Qin Jiang was conflicted, but seeing the smoke disperse, he calmed down again.
Conflict was good!
Since Qin Jiang was conflicted, it proved that his confidence was lower, which proved that his own chances of winning were greater.
Secondly, he could also see Zhu Zheng's little tricks, but he didn't care. If Zhu Zheng didn't have any little tricks, that would be what worried him.
Lastly was Si Jiu! The intelligence he had obtained indicated that Si Jiu was a rather honest and straightforward person. The anxiety inadvertently revealed by such a person just now further represented that Qin Jiang and the others had exhausted all their tactics.
Therefore, taken altogether, his odds of winning were now over eighty percent!
He didn't dare to assume he had a hundred percent certainty!
After all, if he really could win 100%, then they would definitely not continue accompanying him forward.
This was fine too...
He always had to leave the other party a way out; otherwise, if Qin Jiang ran away, his plan would fall short at the last hurdle.
Furthermore, he had confidence in himself!
Old Master Lin thought to himself: "This Qin Jiang is overly young after all! He thought I wouldn't be able to guess his tricks."
"Who doesn't look three steps ahead for every step they take..."
Normally speaking, he admitted that Qin Jiang's strategy just now was very clever, using smoking to force him to open the windows.
And as long as he opened the windows, it would be very easy to expose himself!
But Qin Jiang probably never expected that he still had equipment capable of transmitting signals, allowing other vehicles to transmit simultaneously, thereby causing all the vehicles to smoke and open their sunroofs to disperse the smoke.
As for why he opened the sunroof: that was because he worried that opening the side windows would let outsiders see the situation inside from outside. Now, although Qin Jiang was conflicted, he must also believe his plan was basically completed, otherwise he wouldn't continue accompanying him forward. He, Old Master Lin, knew that Qin Jiang could never possibly transmit the message out!
Everything was under his control...
...
However!
What Old Master Lin didn't see was a flash of ice-cold chill deep within Qin Jiang's eyes:
Old fogey!
"You thought and thought and thought!"
