Beloved One of the Prestigious Household-Chapter 318: Lord Fujia

Qin Niexun’s expression grew more serious, and he nodded slightly. "I will, big brother. I’ll be going now." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Alright." Qin Fujia didn’t delay him any longer and turned back into the castle.

Qin Niexun rode his bicycle back to the entrance of Bay Villa. Handing the bike over to the guard at the entrance, he got into the back seat of his Rolls-Royce. The driver started the engine, turned the car around, and drove away from Bay Villa.

In the front passenger seat was Ji Ming, a member of his team responsible for assisting Captain Qin Niexun in completing the mission assigned by their superiors today.

Ji Ming noticed the unusual silence of their captain in the back seat, as if he was facing some difficult issue. Carefully, he asked, "Captain, are you alright?"

Qin Niexun snapped out of his thoughts and, instead of answering the question, asked, "Have you contacted the members of Group B?"

Ji Ming instinctively straightened up and reported seriously, "Captain, I have contacted them. The members of Group B are staking out near Boyce’s residence as planned."

He detailed the current situation: "Boyce left in the morning and hasn’t returned since. There hasn’t been any unusual activity around his residence."

Qin Niexun didn’t see this as a good sign. The calmer the situation appeared on the surface, the more it indicated that something was brewing in the shadows. He furrowed his brows slightly and asked, "What about Dong Zhenhong?"

"Dong Zhenhong?" Ji Ming was obviously puzzled by the mention of someone outside their mission, "Captain, today’s mission doesn’t seem to be related to Dong Zhenhong..."

Before he could finish saying "not related," he felt the displeased gaze from the back seat and immediately corrected himself, "Captain, I’ll check right away!"

Ji Ming quickly took out his phone and contacted team members who had stayed behind to investigate Dong Zhenhong’s recent activities. Dong Zhenhong had been a dangerous figure in City A for a long time. Although he had committed numerous crimes before, he had protection from higher-ups, which suppressed him. In recent years, those protecting Dong Zhenhong had left, and he had become much more cautious, not giving anyone a handle to catch him. His "good behavior" had allowed him to survive these years, and the team had been monitoring such figures with "records" to clean them up one by one as necessary.

Boyce’s arrival in City A had immediately caught the team’s attention. Their primary task was to collaborate with their superiors to capture Boyce and dismantle all the forces behind him. The team member quickly relayed the latest information on Dong Zhenhong to Ji Ming.

Ji Ming read it while reporting to Qin Niexun in the back seat: "Captain, ever since Boyce arrived in City A, Dong Zhenhong has been networking everywhere. He even tried to get the former Lord Fujia to help deal with Boyce but was apparently refused. Our team members couldn’t find any information related to Lord Fujia."

Ji Ming muttered under his breath, "Boyce alone is messy enough. If Lord Fujia gets involved, we might not sleep for a month."

Qin Niexun glanced at him, "Focus on the important points."

"Yes, Captain!" Ji Ming quickly returned to the main report, "Captain, Dong Zhenhong’s men booked a restaurant at noon. Dong Zhenhong arranged a meeting with Boyce, but Boyce didn’t show up. Dong Zhenhong waited until after 4 PM and then left the restaurant. He went back to his villa and hasn’t left since."

Ji Ming saw a photo attached to the report, captured by the restaurant’s surveillance camera, showing Dong Zhenhong wearing sunglasses with a very displeased expression, teeth gritted. The single photo was enough to convey Dong Zhenhong’s immense anger. Ji Ming, who had often reviewed photos of Dong Zhenhong in the team, felt a chill this time seeing the clear anger.

"Captain, Boyce seems to have seriously offended Dong Zhenhong. Will Dong Zhenhong affect our operation tonight?"

Qin Niexun didn’t respond, extending his long hand to take Ji Ming’s phone, reviewing the details of Dong Zhenhong’s information again. His finger paused on a photo of Dong Zhenhong’s villa, tapping twice to enlarge it. "His villa has only two doors, front and back?"

Ji Ming thought for a moment and nodded. "Captain, from the outside, it looks like there are only two doors."

Qin Niexun handed the phone back. "Have someone check if his villa has any hidden passages. Dong Zhenhong wouldn’t leave himself without an escape route."

"Yes, Captain!" Ji Ming immediately relayed the captain’s orders, ensuring Dong Zhenhong wouldn’t disrupt their mission.

The black Rolls-Royce headed towards the municipal building. Qin Niexun got out, accompanied by Ji Ming, and entered the building, heading to the underground parking lot to meet with other team members.

Ten minutes later, another black sedan emerged from a side underground parking lot. It was rush hour, and the black car merged into the busy traffic, becoming an inconspicuous part of the flow.
