Chapter 314_3
"Cough, cough!"
He Yong coughed heavily twice, interrupting Ajie's words.
Ajie realized he had said too much and quickly shut his mouth.
Xu Hao displayed an apologetic smile on his face and explained:
"Sorry, brothers, I just joined the Noah Organization not long ago. I admire the powerful abilities of the seniors in the organization greatly, and out of curiosity, I asked a few extra questions. I hope you forgive me."
His words were flawless, expressing curiosity while placing himself in a junior position.
Seeing this, He Yong didn't say much more, just waved his hand.
"No need to be so courteous, Hao's brother, we're all like family."
The group chatted casually about some irrelevant topics related to the operation.
One team member sighed:
"How many years has it been since our East Capital Branch staged such a large-scale operation?"
Another nodded in agreement:
"Exactly, if I hadn't joined this operation, I wouldn't know that our East Capital Branch has so many experts, and Minister Luo from the headquarters personally overseeing and directing."
"I think even if that 'Smiling Demon' had three heads and six arms, as formidable as he is, he wouldn't escape the organization's hunt..."
Xu Hao listened to their discussions, secretly noting useful information in his mind.
He was currently only with one of the six Pursuer Teams hunting Cheng Jiashu.
Each team was fully staffed with thirty people, grouped into units of five.
Plus, Xu Hao's own team, nearly two hundred elite armed personnel.
Like a massive spider web, they surrounded the area of Chenxi Home from six different directions.
Once the target leaves the orphanage, this invisible net would immediately tighten.
Even if the other side realizes something is amiss midway, it would be hard to escape such a tightly knit encirclement.
The strength and action capability of the Noah Organization were evident from this.
After a while, everyone finished their boxed meals.
Xu Hao figured he wouldn't get much information, so he stood up to say goodbye.
He Yong and others courteously escorted him to the door.
As Xu Hao left the residential house, the smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by a look of seriousness.
He knew, every corner of the surrounding streets was dotted with numerous eyes from the Noah Organization.
The entire area was under a tightly knit surveillance, loose on the outside but tense within.
Xu Hao walked into a nearby inconspicuous small supermarket, feigning to buy a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of water.
Then, he observed the surrounding area, quickly took out an old pager.
His fingers moved rapidly, using agreed secret phrases and codes, he composed a short message and sent it out.
This was one of the clandestine contact methods between him and the Special Search Team.
Just after sending the message, a slightly playful voice drifted into his ears.
"Yo, Haozi, letting you out here on patrol, hiding here to be lazy?"
Xu Hao's heart tightened as he looked back.
He saw Ma Biao's sturdy figure blocking the supermarket entrance, wearing a playful smile on his face.
Xu Hao immediately put on a smile too and waved the cigarette in his hand:
"Brother Ma, I just got a craving and wanted to buy a pack of cigarettes."
While speaking, his right hand quietly stuffed the pager into his trouser pocket.
"What brings you here to stroll around?"
Ma Biao came over and patted Xu Hao's shoulder:
"You, boy, stop pretending with me. Come chat with me over there."
Xu Hai thought to himself, "Not good," thinking his little action had been discovered.
But seeing Ma Biao still in that happy-go-lucky, casual manner, seemingly just greeting without any other intention.
He finally breathed a slight sigh of relief, but his heart remained taut.
The two laughed and joked, chatting idly as they walked towards another direction.
Their cheerful banter contrasted with the tense and chilling atmosphere lurking in the surrounding streets.
Xu Hao felt uneasy, secretly pondering.
Where was Fang Cheng, the big boss, at this moment, and what was he doing?
Meanwhile, atop a not-too-high hill near Chenxi Home.
Amid dense tree crowns and branches, a figure moved like a nimble ape.
The silhouette grabbed a thick branch with one hand, hanging the whole body upside down in mid-air, while the other hand hung naturally.
He was evidently engaging in one-handed handstand pushups.
