The decision to not restrict the movements of the tutors was made because if they wanted to ascertain Xu Zhaoxing's true intentions, they needed these tutors to be active, which would facilitate Xu Zhaoxing's next steps. This would also make it much easier for those observing and monitoring from the shadows to act.
Specific plans still required some probing. After all, the first priority was not to sacrifice innocent lives. Thorough measures and preparations had to be made to ensure that no one around them would be harmed as a result.
The fact that Xu Zhaoxing had not been caught for so long, and that every attempt to track him had failed, was enough to show how cautious he was. Such a person was difficult to deal with, and it was currently impossible to determine what abilities Xu Zhaoxing possessed.
Ye Tiancheng also needed to know if Xu Zhaoxing was aware that some of the people who had tracked him yesterday were sent by Ye Tiancheng. Xu Zhaoxing needed to be able to distinguish whether these two groups were not the same. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
This matter would determine the direction of Ye Tiancheng's subsequent plans, as different situations would naturally lead to different approaches.
If Xu Zhaoxing was unaware, that would be best. If Xu Zhaoxing could discover that he was being tracked by Ye Tiancheng, the situation might become slightly more problematic, as Xu Zhaoxing would undoubtedly become wary of Ye Tiancheng.
If Xu Zhaoxing was unaware, it would be a great advantage, allowing for more arrangements. Even with Nie Chongyang following, it wouldn't matter.
The reason the investigation team had Nie Chongyang involved was due to the need for joint action. Nie Chongyang was someone who had never appeared in previous investigations, making him a new face to Xu Zhaoxing, thus less likely to be discovered as having an unusual identity.
It was precisely for this reason that Ye Tiancheng had also considered this aspect. Otherwise, if his identity was destined to be exposed, Ye Tiancheng would not have needed to think so much.
Now, Ye Tiancheng and Nie Chongyang had confirmed that Xu Zhaoxing was indeed targeting them. Ye Tiancheng and his team's actions were a form of probing, perhaps to see if Xu Zhaoxing would fall into their trap. If Xu Zhaoxing did fall for it, Ye Tiancheng and Nie Chongyang would be better able to counterattack.
What they needed to do now was to wait for Xu Zhaoxing to appear.
Nie Chongyang had also finished his own matters during this time. After Ye Tiancheng had Nie Chongyang explain everything clearly, he went directly to Ye Qingcheng's side to accompany his daughter to class. As Xu Zhaoxing's whereabouts had not yet been discovered, they had nothing to act on for the time being.
Ye Tiancheng also observed Ye Qingcheng's tutors, wanting to confirm if they had any contact with Xu Zhaoxing or any connection to him.
However, these tutors appeared very normal and seemed to have never heard of Xu Zhaoxing.
Ye Tiancheng and Ye Qingcheng stayed until eleven o'clock at night. By this time, the night outside had deepened, and the weather had turned cold.
Nie Chongyang was not staying with Ye Tiancheng all day. Although they had previously agreed that Ye Tiancheng and his group would act together when the time came, it was not yet time for action.
However, as the night grew late, at eleven o'clock, Ye Tiancheng had already put Ye Qingcheng to sleep. Less than half an hour later, Nie Chongyang returned.
Nie Chongyang told Ye Tiancheng, "There's a new lead on Xu Zhaoxing. He might really be targeting someone in your household. Today, he seemed to be lingering around your home again, but he might have noticed the many unfamiliar faces here and, being cautious, didn't approach the building."
"However, he disappeared shortly after appearing. He might not have any immediate plans and is just observing the situation."
"This is not a good time to track him. If Xu Zhaoxing appears again later, we should act and see if we can track him."
"If we can track and catch him directly without needing a lure, that would be a great thing, saving a lot of effort and sacrifice."
Ye Tiancheng agreed with this point of view, "That would indeed be more appropriate. If there's any news, notify me immediately, and I'll act right away to meet up with you."
"I didn't expect him to actually be targeting someone in my household. He's probably targeting one of the tutors. I just don't know what his ultimate goal is."
Ye Tiancheng shook his head and said, "Since Xu Zhaoxing is targeting someone in my household, it means he has already obtained the identity information of these tutors. Regardless, we must try our best to avoid meeting him again and try not to expose our identities."
"He's targeting my daughter's tutors, so he might have been observing us for longer than we think."
"Don't worry, Mr. Ye. I've already informed my subordinate investigation team of all the new information we've gathered from our mutual communication and told them to remain vigilant regarding Xu Zhaoxing."
Ye Tiancheng gave a wry smile and said, "If that were really the case, it would be great. We could save a lot of trouble. What we need to do now is wait and see, waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the right moment."
"I think we can transfer all those tutors elsewhere to work. That way, there's no need for them to stay here anymore. I think we can tell them not to come for now. This might be a form of protection," Nie Chongyang suggested.
"Furthermore, this way, your family members are less likely to encounter danger, and it will be easier for us to monitor the tutors' situations, without threatening your family members' safety. It will also be easier to protect their safety, and for us to mobilize personnel and take necessary protective measures."
This time, his suggestion was also approved by Ye Tiancheng. Ye Tiancheng also felt that if they were to remain in this environment, it was indeed a danger.
Moreover, people are selfish. Compared to the safety of these tutors, Ye Tiancheng was actually worried that if these tutors were targeted by Xu Zhaoxing, it would threaten his daughter's safety.
Ye Tiancheng thought for a moment and said to Nie Chongyang, "In that case, I also think this is better. I'll talk to my wife about it. Tomorrow, I'll tell them not to come to work, give them paid leave, and ask them to await instructions in Lan City."
"As long as they don't leave Lan City, they can live or play anywhere in Lan City. We will reimburse them, so that they can be dispersed, and it will be easier to observe who Xu Zhaoxing's target is."
Nie Chongyang nodded, "This arrangement is very suitable. This will work."
Ye Tiancheng listened and immediately sent a message to his wife, Hou Mingzhu, informing her of this matter. He also urged Hou Mingzhu to return home. Ye Tiancheng was not at ease with Hou Mingzhu not having returned so late and was worried about her safety.
Hou Mingzhu agreed. She knew that the situation was special and did not rush Ye Tiancheng. She did not dare to ignore Ye Tiancheng's concern and reminders. She helped Ye Tiancheng inform the tutors about the paid leave.
Afterward, Hou Mingzhu explained to Ye Tiancheng, "I'm working overtime tonight, so I'll be back late. I know the situation is special, and I won't be careless. I've arranged for many people to protect me, and I'll finish my work as soon as possible and rush home. Don't worry."
Ye Tiancheng received the message and didn't ask any further questions. He directly hung up the phone and said to Nie Chongyang, "Everything is arranged. Tomorrow, those tutors will not be coming to work here. We'll have them dispersed, and then each of us will send people to monitor the situation in secret."
"If Xu Zhaoxing has any malicious intentions and wants to kill these tutors, we can react in time to save them."
"As soon as someone disappears from sight, we must immediately pay attention to their whereabouts and absolutely not let them leave our sight to avoid any accidents."
"We need to find Xu Zhaoxing's true whereabouts, but we cannot endanger the lives of these tutors because of it."
Nie Chongyang nodded, "Okay, I'll notify them immediately. Don't worry."
The next day, Ye Tiancheng woke up early. After breakfast, Ye Qingcheng had already learned that she wouldn't have classes for the time being.
Ye Qingcheng was a child and didn't understand much. She only thought that her father, Ye Tiancheng, had made these arrangements because of the recent murders, so she obediently followed Ye Tiancheng's arrangements and instructions.
After breakfast, Ye Tiancheng called Little Fox and Fatty. The two of them prepared to set off together to meet Nie Chongyang and search for Xu Zhaoxing.
Ye Tiancheng didn't have much to pack. He only tidied up his appearance, put on clothes suitable for action, and then left with Little Fox and Fatty. His car was ready, and he could depart at any time.
After getting into the car, Ye Tiancheng and his group headed towards their destination. Upon arriving at the meeting point with Nie Chongyang, Nie Chongyang was driving an SUV. This vehicle was bought by Nie Chongyang when he was in China, and he usually drove it himself.
Moreover, driving without a police car and acting in plain clothes was also beneficial for concealing his identity and investigating clues.
The SUV had better performance, making it more convenient for tracking criminals or anything else. At the very least, the car was sturdy and not picky about terrain.
Since Nie Chongyang had driven the SUV over, and the four of them were to act together, Ye Tiancheng found a parking spot for his car and then took Fatty and Little Fox into Nie Chongyang's car.
They had nothing else to do at the moment. Their main task was to wait for information from their subordinates. Once Xu Zhaoxing appeared again, they could rush to the scene.
