Chapter 1726 To Rescue Zhang Tao
The three of them smiled at each other, and the tense atmosphere eased a lot. They knew that the road ahead was still long and there were many difficulties. But as long as they were united, nothing could stop them from moving forward.
However, at this moment, a rapid knock on the door suddenly sounded, breaking the moment of silence. Yue Ming was startled and immediately looked at the door vigilantly. Qin Yuan and Duan Jinglin also quickly exchanged glances, signaling each other to be careful.
"Who?" Qin Yuan asked in a deep voice.
"It's me, the waiter of the hotel." A respectful voice came from outside the door, "A gentleman is looking for you, saying it's about scientists."
Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Duan Jinglin. They didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to come to the door at this time. Is it a trap? Or is there really a clue about the scientist?
"Let him wait for us in the lobby." Qin Yuan said in a deep voice, "We will go down right away."
The person outside the door responded, and the footsteps gradually faded away. Qin Yuan, Yue Ming and Duan Jinglin looked at each other, and their hearts were full of doubts and vigilance. They knew that the next meeting might bring unexpected turns and challenges. But in any case, they were ready to face all possible outcomes.
When they arrived at the hotel lobby, a man in a suit and sunglasses immediately came up to them. He looked young, but his demeanor revealed a mature and steady temperament.
"Hello, three of you. I'm Li Wei." The man took the initiative to extend his hand and shake hands with the three of them. "I heard that you are looking for clues about some scientists. Maybe I can provide some help."
Qin Yuan looked at Li Wei in front of him, and was secretly alert in his heart. He did not immediately believe what the other party said, but asked tentatively: "Oh? What do you know?"
Li Wei smiled slightly, took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to Qin Yuan: "This is a photo of one of the scientists. His name is Zhang Tao, a friend of my friend. As far as I know, he is currently trapped in that fraud park."
Qin Yuan took the photo and looked at it, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. The person in the photo was one of the targets they wanted to rescue on this trip-Zhang Tao! He looked up at Li Wei, his tone revealing a hint of urgency: "How did you get this photo? How did your friend know this?"
"Don't worry about it." Li Wei smiled mysteriously, "In short, I can help you find Zhang Tao's whereabouts, and even assist you in rescuing him. But the premise is that you must pay me a considerable reward."
Yue Ming was excited when he heard this. He was about to agree, but was stopped by Qin Yuan's eyes. Qin Yuan looked at Li Wei, his eyes flashing with a sharp light: "Why should we believe you? What if you are an undercover sent by the people in the fraud park?"
"You can choose not to believe me." Li Wei shrugged, "but this photo is enough to prove my sincerity. Moreover, I can tell you more secrets about the park. If you are willing to cooperate, I promise you will not be disappointed."
Qin Yuan was silent for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons. Finally, he took a deep breath and said slowly: "Okay, we are willing to cooperate with you. But if you dare to play any tricks, I promise you will regret it!"
Li Wei heard this and showed a satisfied smile on his face. He stretched out his hand and shook Qin Yuan tightly: "Don't worry, Instructor Qin. I am a trustworthy person. As long as we cooperate happily, I promise that you can successfully rescue Dr. Zhang Tao."
In the night, Li Wei led Qin Yuan, Yue Ming and Duan Jinglin through the neon lights of the city and came to a casino with a gorgeous appearance. The huge neon sign in front of the door flashed an attractive light, as if telling passers-by about the prosperity and luxury here.
"This is it." Li Wei stopped and turned to the three people and said, "Dr. Zhang Tao once appeared here. We can find clues about him by checking the surveillance of the casino."
Qin Yuan frowned slightly and looked at the casino in front of him. He didn't like this kind of place, but in order to find Dr. Zhang Tao, he had to step into this world full of temptation and danger.
"Are you sure Dr. Zhang Tao will come here?" Yue Ming asked doubtfully. He still had some doubts about Li Wei's words.
"I'm sure." Li Wei nodded, "I have my sources, you can rest assured."
Duan Jinglin pushed his glasses and analyzed calmly: "Since Li Wei said so, we might as well give it a try. However, we must be careful. After all, this is not an ordinary place."
Qin Yuan nodded, agreeing with Duan Jinglin's statement. He turned to Li Wei and said, "Okay, let's go in and take a look. But you have to remember that if you dare to play any tricks, I will never let you go."
Li Wei smiled, did not respond to Qin Yuan's threat, but turned around and pushed open the door of the casino. The four people entered in a line and were immediately surrounded by the hustle and bustle and luxury in the casino.
The lights were bright, the music was deafening, and people sat around the gambling table with excitement or frustration on their faces. Qin Yuan and others tried to keep a low profile and followed Li Wei to the monitoring room of the casino.
"If you want to view the monitoring, you need to spend 30,000 US dollars." Li Wei said to the staff with ease.
The staff member glanced at Qin Yuan and the others, and a sly light flashed in his eyes: "No problem, as long as you can spend this amount, you can watch the surveillance as you like."
Yue Ming frowned when he heard this: "30,000 US dollars? Isn't this robbery?"
"Here, money is everything." Li Wei said lightly, "If you don't want to pay, please go back."
Qin Yuan glanced at Yue Ming and motioned him to be patient. He knew that in this place, it was difficult to move without money. So he took out a credit card and handed it to the staff: "Swipe it."
The staff took the credit card, swiped it skillfully, and then handed it back to Qin Yuan: "Okay, you can check the surveillance now."
Li Wei walked to the monitoring desk and began to operate the computer skillfully. The surveillance pictures of various corners of the casino quickly popped up on the screen. He carefully observed each picture, trying to find the figure of Dr. Zhang Tao.
However, time passed by, and they did not find any clues about Dr. Zhang Tao in the surveillance. Yue Ming began to get impatient: "Are you sure Dr. Zhang Tao really came here? We spent 30,000 US dollars!"
Li Wei did not speak, but continued to focus on the surveillance picture. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had discovered something: "Wait! Look here!"
He pointed to a corner of the screen and saw a blurry figure playing at the gambling table. Although the picture was not very clear, the outline of that person was indeed similar to Dr. Zhang Tao.
"This is Dr. Zhang Tao!" Li Wei said excitedly, "I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Qin Yuan and others were also excited. They finally found clues about Dr. Zhang Tao. However, at this moment, the door of the casino was suddenly kicked open by a group of men in black. They rushed in with weapons in hand.
"That's them!" One of them pointed at Qin Yuan and others and shouted, "Catch them!"
Qin Yuan and others were stunned, and then they realized that these men in black were obviously coming for them. They immediately ran away, trying to escape from this dangerous place. However, the men in black chased them, and the two sides launched a thrilling chase in the casino.
"What's going on?" Yue Ming asked while running, "Who are these people?"
"I don't know." Li Wei replied with a heavy breath, "But looking at their appearance, it's obvious that they are here with bad intentions."
Qin Yuan didn't speak, but silently led everyone to the back door of the casino. He knew that the most important thing now was to escape from this dangerous place, and then find a way to find out the identity and purpose of these people.
After a thrilling chase, Qin Yuan and others finally escaped from the casino. They hid in a remote corner, panting, with lingering fear.
"These people are obviously coming for us." Duan Jinglin analyzed, "They may be people from the fraud park. They found out that we are looking for Dr. Zhang Tao, so they sent people to hunt us down."
"What should we do now?" Yue Ming asked anxiously, "We have been exposed, and the next action will be more difficult."
Qin Yuan took a deep breath and calmed down: "We can't just give up. Now that we have found clues about Dr. Zhang Tao, we must continue to track him. However, we must be more careful and can't take risks like today."
Li Wei also nodded: "Yes, I will continue to provide help. But you have to ensure my safety."
"Don't worry." Qin Yuan patted Li Wei on the shoulder, "As long as we are united, nothing can stop us from moving forward."
As the night deepened, Qin Yuan, Yue Ming, Duan Jinglin and Li Wei sat in a dim room, their faces full of solemnity. After several days of investigation and discussion, they decided to take an extremely risky action - to take risks, pretend to be ordinary tourists, and deliberately be caught in the fraud park in order to investigate Dr. Zhang Tao's location and situation on the spot.

"This plan is too dangerous." Yue Ming was the first to break the silence, his brows furrowed, obviously worried about this plan, "Once we are caught, our identities are likely to be exposed. At that time, not only will we fail to rescue Dr. Zhang Tao, but we ourselves may also be in danger."
"Yue Ming is right." Duan Jinglin also expressed his concerns, "Besides, how can we ensure that we can enter the park smoothly? After all, we have already alerted the enemy before."
Qin Yuan took a deep breath and said slowly: "I understand these concerns, but this is the only way we can get close to Dr. Zhang Tao at present. We don't have more time to investigate slowly, and we must take action as soon as possible."
Li Wei also nodded and added: "I can help you forge your identities and make you look like real tourists. And I have a certain understanding of the park. I know which places are blind spots for monitoring and which times are the least patrolled. In this way, we can minimize the risk of exposure."
"But..." Yue Ming wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Qin Yuan raising his hand.
"No buts." Qin Yuan's tone was firm and decisive, "This is our mission and our responsibility. We can't give up because of fear of danger. I believe that as long as we act carefully, we will succeed."
Yue Ming and Duan Jinglin looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes. They understood that Qin Yuan was right. As soldiers, they could not retreat, but could only move forward bravely.
"Okay." Yue Ming finally nodded, "I'll listen to you, instructor."
"Me too." Duan Jinglin also expressed his attitude.
Qin Yuan looked at the two of them, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes. He turned to look at Li Wei: "Then, next I'll trouble you to help us forge our identities."
"No problem." Li Wei responded, "I'll get it ready as soon as possible."
After the discussion, the four returned to their rooms and began to prepare for the next action. They knew that the road ahead would be full of unknowns and dangers, but they were ready to face everything.
A few days later, Qin Yuan and others came to the vicinity of the fraud park again as tourists. They changed into ordinary clothes, took off all military ranks and badges, and tried to make themselves look like ordinary tourists.
"Remember," Qin Yuan reminded again before the action, "our goal is to find Dr. Zhang Tao's location and understand his situation, not to conflict with the people in the park. So, no matter what situation you encounter, you must remain calm and restrained."
"Understood." Yue Ming and Duan Jinglin responded in unison.
Li Wei handed them some forged identity documents and travel guides: "Keep these things, you can deal with them if you are checked."
Qin Yuan took the things and nodded: "Thank you, Li Wei."
"You're welcome." Li Wei smiled, "I am also here to rescue Dr. Zhang Tao."
After everything was ready, Qin Yuan and others set off for the park. They deliberately wandered around the park for a while, and then pretended to be curious and walked into the gate of the park.
However, soon after they entered the park, they were stopped by several security guards: "Tourists, please show your IDs."
Qin Yuan and others felt nervous, but remained calm on the surface. They took out Li Wei's forged ID and handed it to the security guard.
The security guard carefully checked the ID and nodded: "Okay, you can go in. But please be careful not to wander around in the park. Some places are prohibited for tourists to enter."
"Okay, we know." Qin Yuan smiled and responded, "We are just here to visit."
The security guard didn't say anything more, just waved his hand to indicate that they could leave. Qin Yuan and others breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that the forged ID did not reveal any flaws.
They continued to wander around the park, secretly observing the surrounding environment and building layout. At the same time, they were also paying attention to whether there were any clues about Dr. Zhang Tao. However, the monitoring and patrols in the park were very strict, and they had to act cautiously.
At this moment, Yue Ming suddenly spotted a familiar figure: "Wait! Is that Dr. Zhang Tao?" He pointed to a middle-aged man working not far away and said. (End of this chapter)
