Chapter 550: Questions and Exclamations Along the Way
"Deng Deng."
Qi Tongwei's phone vibrated twice again. He took out his phone and saw that he had received another text message.
It was still a deduction record, and the eye-catching number made Qi Tongwei's eyes instantly become cold.
The amount this time was obviously several times more than the previous two times. Behind that series of numbers, it seemed as if the greedy face of the scammer was hidden.
The sharp-eyed Chen Ran inadvertently saw the amount transferred out. His eyes widened instantly and he couldn't help but take a breath.
If he saw it correctly, there should be six zeros after the number, which was no small amount of money.
Chen Ran said anxiously, "Chief Qi, if you don't transfer the money out, they will take it away soon!"
There was a hint of urgency in his voice. In his opinion, it would be a huge loss if so much money was transferred away by scammers.
Qi Tongwei was not as panicked as Chen Ran. He narrowed his eyes and calmly put away his phone.
His mind raced, thinking of a response. He knew these scammers thought they had caught a big fish and were greedily trying to empty his account.
However, he would not let them succeed so easily.
Qi Tongwei looked at He Zhijun with a questioning look in his eyes and said slowly, "Captain, I'm using some professional means to get back the money that belongs to me. That shouldn't violate discipline, right?"
His voice was calm, but the question was crucial.
Discipline is very important in the army. Although he wants to punish these scammers and get his money back, he cannot violate discipline.
He Zhijun frowned and thought for a moment.
He knew that the "professional methods" that Qi Tongwei mentioned might involve some gray areas, but considering that this was to crack down on fraudsters and to get back the money that was defrauded, the situation seemed a little special.
He looked at Qi Tongwei and said seriously: "Tongwei, I understand your thoughts."
"These scammers are indeed despicable, but we also need to be careful about their methods."
"If your methods won't harm innocent people and are within the scope of law and discipline, I think it should be possible."
"But first, you have to tell me exactly what you plan to do."
Qi Tongwei nodded, he knew that He Zhijun's concerns were justified.
He explained, "Captain, I plan to exploit a loophole in their fraudulent website, reverse trace their fund flows, and then transfer my money back from their accounts."
"During this process, I will ensure that the accounts of other innocent people will not be affected, and that the normal financial order will not be disrupted."
"I just want to get back the money they cheated me of. I also want to use this opportunity to get more information about them so that I can find Mengyao."
After hearing Qi Tongwei's explanation, He Zhijun felt a little relieved. He knew Qi Tongwei was a man of measure, and since he said that, he must have a comprehensive plan.
He looked at Qi Tongwei and said seriously, "Tongwei, since you already have a plan, just go for it."
"But you have to be careful and don't make any mistakes."
"Our first priority is to find Mengyao, but we must also crack down on these scammers and prevent them from harming others."
Qi Tongwei got He Zhijun's permission, nodded to Chen Ran, and the two left one after the other.
When he met Li Sen walking towards him, Li Sen suddenly became excited.
"Captain! Why didn't you tell me you were back? It's been a long time since we last saw you."
Qi Tongwei stopped Li Sen who was about to jump on him, "Li Sen, I don't have time to chat, I have something else to do."
Li Sen immediately said seriously: "Okay, there is something I can do."
Qi Tongwei thought for two seconds, his brain quickly screening the equipment that might be needed for this mission.
"Prepare me two sniper rifles. They should be highly accurate and stable, preferably specially modified for long-range precision shooting."
"Also, the matching high-power scope must ensure that the target can be clearly aimed at in all kinds of lighting conditions."
"Also, prepare sufficient ammunition of various specifications, including armor-piercing rounds, in case you encounter targets with special protection."
Qi Tongwei spoke while gesturing with his hands. His expression was very focused and every request was well thought out.
"Prepare some smoke bombs and flash bombs for me. In complex environments, these can provide us with cover and disrupt the enemy."
"Also, a tactical dagger is essential. It's a crucial weapon in close combat."
"The communication equipment must be the most advanced to ensure we can stay in touch under any circumstances and there must be no signal interruption."
Qi Tongwei continued to add that he spoke quickly because he knew that time was tight and every detail could affect the success or failure of the mission.
A few minutes later, Li Sen drove over. The car looked ordinary, but Qi Tongwei knew that it must have been carefully selected by Li Sen.
Li Sen handed the car to Qi Tongwei and said, "There are three barrels of oil in the trunk. I have also prepared everything you asked for."
"The sniper rifle is in the secret compartment of the trunk. I wrapped it with a special sponge pad to prevent it from being damaged during driving."
"The scope has been installed and debugged. You can use it directly."
"The ammunition is separated according to the different specifications you mentioned and marked so that you can find it quickly in an emergency."
"Put the smoke bombs and flashbangs in the small box next to them. I'll put the tactical dagger in the hidden pocket next to the driver's seat so you can access it at any time."
"I've already debugged the communication equipment and set the channel. Just turn it on and it'll be ready to use."
As Li Sen spoke, he patted Qi Tongwei on the shoulder.
The tacit understanding between them over a long period of time has allowed them to guess the severity of the mission just by looking at each other's expressions.
Qi Tongwei looked at Li Sen with eyes full of gratitude.
He knew that Li Sen was his most trustworthy comrade-in-arms, and that he had considered everything he prepared so carefully. This was not only a responsibility to the mission, but also a guarantee of Qi Tongwei's life.
This tacit understanding was cultivated through countless training and actual combat.
Qi Tongwei opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat. He checked the equipment in the car again and silently thanked Li Sen for his attentiveness and thoughtfulness.
Then he started the car and drove towards the destination with Chen Ran.
Qi Tongwei sat in the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel firmly with both hands, his eyes focused and calm.
He lightly stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed out in an instant.
During the busy evening rush hour, the streets are full of vehicles and pedestrians are rushing on their way.
But Qi Tongwei drove as if he was on an empty track. He controlled the car skillfully and weaved through the traffic with ease.
He can always accurately predict the driving trajectories of other vehicles and find the opportunity to speed up in the seemingly seamless traffic flow.
While other drivers were still cautiously following cars and changing lanes, Qi Tongwei had already quickly overtaken one car after another.
His speed continued to increase, reaching 50, and the whole process was amazingly smooth, without any shaking or jerking.
What’s even more amazing is that all the lights were green along the way, and we didn’t encounter a single red light.
Every time they arrived at an intersection, the traffic light was about to turn red, but at the moment their car approached, the traffic light seemed to be affected by Qi Tongwei's aura and magically remained green.
Qi Tongwei's eyes are like a scanner, always observing the road conditions around him.
He not only pays attention to the vehicles in front, but can also accurately judge the distance and speed of the vehicles behind through the rearview mirror.
He skillfully used every opportunity allowed by traffic rules, accelerating, decelerating, and changing lanes, and all his actions were as natural as flowing water.
Chen Ran sat in the passenger seat with his eyes wide open. He could hardly believe what he saw.
He originally thought that his driving skills were pretty good, but compared with Qi Tongwei, he was like a novice who had just learned to drive.
Compared with Qi Tongwei, his speed is like an ox cart compared to a rocket, they are not on the same level at all.
"Commander Qi, your driving skills are amazing!"
Chen Ran couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. Qi Tongwei's lips curled up slightly, his attention still focused on the road ahead. He simply said, "Just practice more. In special forces, speed is often life."
Qi Tongwei continued to drive the car with full concentration, speeding towards his destination.
But while driving, Qi Tongwei's cell phone would still ring from time to time.
Every time it sounded, it was like a drum beating in Chen Ran's heart, and the sound seemed to be a reminder that his money was being transferred away bit by bit.
Chen Ran sat in the passenger seat, his face full of confusion, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
His eyes glanced at Qi Tongwei's mobile phone from time to time, and the huge amount of money that was transferred away kept appearing in his mind.
The thought of the money being transferred away like water made me feel heartbroken.
After all, it is not a small amount of money. For anyone, it would be difficult to accept seeing so much money just gone.
After a while, he couldn't help but feel curious and puzzled, and asked cautiously, "Chief Qi, are you a rich second-generation?"
His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of offending Qi Tongwei, but he really couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart.
Qi Tongwei did not look away, his eyes were still focused on the road ahead, and his hands were firmly holding the steering wheel.
After hearing Chen Ran's question, his expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "No, my parents are farmers, and my schooling was funded by donations from the villagers."
His voice was flat, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, but it also revealed a calmness about his past experiences.
Chen Ran couldn't help but widen his eyes after hearing Qi Tongwei's answer, his face full of surprise. He never thought that Qi Tongwei had such extraordinary abilities and could remain so calm when faced with so much money being transferred away, yet his family background was so ordinary.
He admired Qi Tongwei even more. With such a family background, Qi Tongwei must have made unimaginable efforts to achieve what he has today.
"Commander Qi, how could you be so calm and watch the money being transferred away?"
"I mean, that's a lot of money for anybody."
Chen Ran couldn't help but continue asking. Qi Tongwei slightly turned his head to glance at Chen Ran, then shifted his gaze back to the front and said, "We can earn money again if we lose it, but we have more important tasks now."
"Those scammers thought they could succeed, but it was only temporary."
"I will not let them get away with it. I will definitely get the money back and make them pay a higher price."
His words were full of determination, which made Chen Ran feel his determination and confidence.
After hearing what Qi Tongwei said, Chen Ran felt a surge of blood in his heart. He nodded and said, "Chief Qi, I understand."
"We will definitely be able to recover the money, rescue Mengyao, and then catch these scammers in one fell swoop!"
