"Dodge saw that we were no longer ‘asking questions’ and continued, ‘The Z organization has strict reporting and emergency plans. If An Wenshan doesn’t communicate with the Z organization for more than twenty-four hours, then the Z organization members within China will assume that An Wenshan is missing, dead, or has defected. According to emergency measures, the organization will immediately arrange for someone to find An Wenshan and take his place. But think about it, Leslie couldn’t contact An Wenshan, and the Z organization didn’t implement the emergency plan after An Wenshan’s loss of contact, nor did they arrange for someone else to fill An Wenshan’s vacancy. This can only mean one thing—An Wenshan was urgently summoned by the Z organization.’

Fatty couldn’t help but ask again, ‘Hiss, although I don’t know the internal rules of the Z organization, I feel like you’re right. But how did you connect An Wenshan’s disappearance with Han Yu? I still can’t figure that out.’

Jennifer, afraid that Dodge would really blow up after being interrupted this time, took over and said to Fatty, ‘Brother Fatty, it’s like this. If An Wenshan was normally summoned, then there must be traces to follow, because the Z organization’s procedures for handling such events are transparent. Moreover, An Wenshan could make a phone call to arrange some things when he’s summoned. According to Leslie, if An Wenshan was normally summoned, he could completely make a phone call to discuss the settlement with Leslie. But now An Wenshan has suddenly disappeared, and he didn’t make any preparations beforehand. He just disappeared from all the relationship networks in the Z organization out of thin air. I think there’s only one possibility, that is, An Wenshan’s summoning was a direct order from the higher-ups of the Z organization, without reporting to anyone in advance. That is to say—’

‘That is to say, Han Yu personally went to find An Wenshan.’ Zoe, who had been listening attentively, took over Jennifer’s words and put forward this decisive conclusion, ‘Moreover, the time when An Wenshan lost contact completely matches the time when Han Yu disappeared.’

Jennifer and Zoe's words were exactly what Dodge was going to say later. Dodge gave them both an approving look to show his agreement.

Jennifer and Zoe used to be in the Z organization, so they naturally knew some of the rules inside the organization. Their explanation was equivalent to indirectly confirming Dodge's guess.

Dodge's guess was almost certainly correct.

‘Actually, I wasn’t sure about my guess about the connection between Dr. Han and An Wenshan at first, but what happened later allowed me to verify my conjecture,’ Dodge continued. ‘Just after I finished talking to Leslie on the phone, I found that an emergency tactical team of the Z organization had been dispatched, with an unknown operation target and route. When they sneaked into the neighborhood where I lived, I realized that I had been monitored all along. My conversation with Leslie must have triggered some defensive emergency mechanism in the organization, forcing Dr. Han’s men to take coercive measures to control me.’

‘Then, I quickly ran away, while retreating, I contacted you two.’ Dodge looked at me and Fatty here, ‘Because the tactical team was chasing closely, and my phone was being monitored and located, I could only fight a guerrilla war with them, contacting you by phone, constantly modifying our rendezvous location. At the same time, I also contacted the boat boss Huang Jie to pick us up.’

‘Fortunately, the Z organization has suffered a great loss of vitality, and there is currently only this mobile tactical team, otherwise, we would definitely not be able to escape their encirclement.’ Dodge sighed, with a look of luck on his face.

We were able to successfully escape the Z organization’s tracking under Dodge’s arrangement, which also reflects Dodge’s ability and level from the side. In fact, Dodge is not as不堪 (bukan – unbearable) as Fatty thought.

I think the reason why Dodge behaved incompetently in front of Fatty, Jennifer, and Zoe is fundamentally because Fatty and the others have been fighting as a team, cooperating with each other for a long time, and have rich field combat experience.

What Fatty and the others are good at is exactly what Dodge lacks, so Dodge’s advantages are completely covered up.

There is still an important issue that has not been resolved.

China is vast and it is too difficult to find Han Yu and An Wenshan in such a large land area, so I asked Dodge, ‘Do you know the specific location of Han Yu and An Wenshan?’

Dodge nodded, ‘An Wenshan has been active in the desert in western China before, and the last time he was active was near Lop Nur in Xinjiang. I think Dr. Han should have gone to Xinjiang.’

Han Yu’s destination this time is very likely to be in the Gobi Desert, and the scope of our search has suddenly become much smaller.

Fatty suddenly exclaimed, ‘An Wenshan, this old boy, is still holed up in the Gobi Desert… This guy has been in the desert for years, hasn’t he? He’s really patient.’

Dodge smiled bitterly, ‘The Z organization is not a place you can enter or leave as you please. Everything has a price and a reward. An Wenshan was arranged to be in the desert, and the Z organization must have done a detailed investigation. He is the most suitable candidate, and he can’t help himself. Moreover, An Wenshan is an orphan, without a family. Placing such a person in a deserted place can better stimulate his instinct and wildness.’"
