Chapter 682 Digging a Hole
"All set!"
The cleaning crew leader fumbled inside his jacket before producing a sealed bag containing a mask as thin as a cicada's wing, an incredible likeness.
It was Yan Mingyu's face.
That's why Qin Yu, on the way back from the airport, had asked Han Qingying about her height and measurements, wanting to know how different her figure was from Yan Mingyu's.
If the gap was only slight, since it was spring and she would be wearing a coat, the average person wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
He then got in touch with the old swindler to help him create the mask.
He wasn't sure about his combat skills, but when it came to trickery, he was top-notch.
Otherwise, how could he have survived in Dragon Gate for so many years?
"Thank you!"
Qin Yu nodded.
"I'm off!"
The old swindler didn't say much, just pushed his cleaning cart out of the room slowly.
"Who was that?"
Once the old swindler was far away, Han Qingying finally asked with suspicion.
"An old-timer from Dragon Gate, very capable! Now, let's head to the Armed Police Detachment!"
After tucking away the mask, Qin Yu picked up the car keys and said.
"Why are we going there?"
Han Qingying couldn't figure out what Qin Yu was up to.
"You're decades old, can't you be a little less curious? If you trust me, just follow my arrangements!"
Qin Yu turned around and spoke to Han Qingying earnestly.
"Alright..."
After Han Qingying followed Qin Yu out of the room, they went to the underground garage, drove out of the hotel, and began to drive around the city to ensure they weren't being followed. Only then did they enter the Armed Police Detachment.
"Put on this mask. I'm going to have some tea with a few friends, and then I'll be down!"
Qin Yu handed over the mask to Han Qingying.
"You want me to impersonate Yan Mingyu?"
Han Qingying frowned, harboring an inexplicable hostility towards Yan Mingyu because of Han Bing.
"Right, by appearing as my wife, you are effectively erasing yourself, Han Qingying, from the picture. That's when others will believe you might have indeed left Jinling overnight and they might reveal themselves because they can't hold back!"
Qin Yu would certainly not tell Han Qingying that the plan he concocted was mixed with his own ulterior motives. He wanted to use Han Qingying to lure out the person hiding in the shadows.
If making Han Qingying pose as his woman did not work, what about Yan Mingyu?
He had created a big scene at the Ye Family's place for her, which showed her importance to him. If the person in hiding knew that Yan Mingyu had appeared, he would definitely make a move against her.
"You... you're not deceiving me, are you?"
Han Qingying held the mask, somewhat skeptical.
"Am I swindling you for money, or seducing you?"
Qin Yu said with irritation.
"Hmph, you're full of dirty tricks. Just you wait, if I find out you're setting me up, I'll kill you with one sword stroke!"
After Han Qingying said this coldly, she finally took the mask.
"I'll be back in twenty minutes!"
Qin Yu waved his arm and walked to Qin Long's office. After knocking on the door and entering, he smiled and said, "Brother Qin, everything's good, right?"
"Ah, here you are, brother. The guys on duty last night reported some suspicious people around. But I warned everyone to keep their guns loaded, and nothing went wrong all night!"
Qin Long stood up from behind his desk and said.
"Good, hard work everyone. Let's check out the safe house!"
Qin Yu and Qin Long took the elevator to the corridor outside the safe house.
He Gang stood straight, holding a walkie-talkie in his hand.
Seeing Qin Yu and Qin Long, he smiled slightly and said, "Everything's normal, not even a fly got in!"
"Thanks, Brother He!"
Qin Yu walked over and gave He Gang a hug.
"Creak..."
Qin Long input the password and opened the heavy door of the safe house.
"Old He, let's go, take a smoke break!"
Qin Long tilted his head toward He Gang.
"Hehe, sure!"
He Gang knew that Qin Long was telling him not to stick around like a third wheel, as Qin Yu and his wife surely had some private words to share.
"Wife, getting used to it?"
Qin Yu walked in just as Yan Mingyu closed her laptop.
"There's internet, TV, food, it's like a hotel, it's pretty good. How about you, what's the situation outside?"
Yan Mingyu looked up as she spoke.
"I concocted a plan, but the other side is too cunning and didn't take the bait. I'm here firstly to see you and secondly to get one of your jackets you usually wear for me to see if tonight's plan can lure them out!"
Qin Yu said.
"Hmm, take a trench coat. I usually wear trench coats this season."
Yan Mingyu brought a suitcase to the safe house beforehand, having prepared a full set of clothes to change into.
"Alright!"
After taking the clothes, Qin Yu opened his arms: "Give me a hug!"
"Mhm!"
Yan Mingyu leaned gently against Qin Yu's sturdy chest, knowing that her man must be very tired and under great pressure these last few days. She couldn't help much and still needed his protection. The only thing she could do was to give him moments of peace when he needed her.
A few minutes later, Qin Yu kissed Yan Mingyu's smooth forehead: "Wife, I'm off. I'll come back to pick you up once the crisis is resolved!"
"Be careful!"
Yan Mingyu said biting her lip.
"I know!"
With Yan Mingyu's trench coat in hand, Qin Yu left the safe house and after closing the heavy door, he took the elevator to the ground floor.
"Guys, I have something to attend to tonight, so I'll leave first. Later, the three of us should have a proper drink together!"
Qin Yu said to Qin Long and He Gang, who were smoking at the door.
"Heh, sure, brother, we'll wait for you!"
Qin Long nodded with a smile.
"Alright, bye!"
Qin Yu then walked to his BMW X5 and after getting in, handed the trench coat to Han Qingying, who was already wearing a mask: "It's clean, put it on!"
"What do we do next?"
Han Qingying glanced at the trench coat Qin Yu handed her and took it anyway.
"Find an inconspicuous motel and stay there for the night."
Qin Yu suggested.
If Han Qingying really were Yan Mingyu, he would definitely care a lot about her safety. He wouldn't take her around to show off, but rather transfer her discreetly to an insignificant place, then plan to send her away from Jinling.
This was the thought process from the perspective of the other party.
He had visited Yan Mingyu yesterday, signaling that in the adversary's mind, Yan Mingyu was his prime target, after all, she was his wife.
Yan Mingyu in trouble would be the greatest damage to him.
As for other women, perhaps even if they died, he wouldn't care.
"Okay!"
Han Qingying had no other choices now but to follow Qin Yu all the way to the end.
Afterward, the two left the special police squad and continued driving around in circles. Only this time, they drove slower to give the person hiding in the shadows a chance to follow.
It was around eight in the evening when they finally parked the car at the entrance of a small motel.
They went in and got a standard room.
After Qin Yu had stayed for about half an hour, he left the motel. He entered a supermarket across the street, seemingly to buy something to eat.
Whew...
After entering the supermarket, Qin Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
The trap had been set, now it was uncertain if the adversary would jump into it.
