Upon learning that Lin Yifan had obtained the location of the Shadow Organization's lair, Boss Ding was quite surprised and didn't know how Lin Yifan managed to accomplish it.
The small fishing boat was clearly on his side; how could the disappeared Lin Yifan possibly find the intelligence organization's operative?
Now wasn't the time for doubt; everything would become clear after meeting with Lin Yifan.
Thus, he hung up the phone and headed for the agreed meeting place.
Meanwhile, Lin Yifan returned the phone to the intelligence organization's operative leader.
The intelligence organization's operative leader took the phone and curiously asked, "Brother Lin, do you have backup?"
"Of course, if I didn't, how would I dare to raid the Shadow Organization alone? I'm not stupid," Lin Yifan replied.
"Then why did you say you were going alone earlier?" the intelligence organization's operative elder inquired.
"If I didn't say that, would you have so readily told me the location of the Shadow Organization's headquarters?" Lin Yifan retorted.
The intelligence organization was a very cautious group; if they knew he had backup, they would surely recheck his identity, wasting even more time.
"True!" the intelligence organization's operative leader nodded in agreement, then muttered softly, "I thought Brother Lin was truly fearless; little did I know..."
"Do you really think I'm like the God of Killing? I know exactly what the strength of the Shadow Organization is; I'm not going to senselessly throw my life away," Lin Yifan responded.
"Alright! Brother Lin, be careful. We wish you great success and mutual benefit," the intelligence organization's operative leader clasped his hands in farewell.
"I hope so too!" Lin Yifan sighed in thanks, feeling a bit unsure himself.
After all, the enemies are incredibly strong, and there's a high chance they already know he's in the Empire of Dongying. They might just be waiting for him to take the bait.
With a touch of unease, Lin Yifan utilized Qinggong, flying off the large fishing boat toward the shore.
Watching Lin Yifan's light and agile figure, the intelligence organization's operative leader couldn't help but exclaim, "An idol is indeed an idol, easily mastering such advanced Qinggong, truly admirable."
In no time, Lin Yifan reached the coastline.
Boss Ding, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately appeared to meet Lin Yifan.
Lin Yifan found a safe place to discuss their next move with him.
"Senior Brother, the Shadow Organization's lair is in the mountain forest near Yongle Village in Fukang City, Qiandu County. We can start acting now."
"What's your action plan?" Boss Ding asked curiously.
"First, we'll locate the lair of the Shadow Organization, then sneak in quietly to rescue my girlfriend," Lin Yifan replied.
"You don't know the exact location of the Shadow Organization?" Boss Ding asked in surprise.
He thought Lin Yifan knew, but it turns out he didn't.
"No, I only know they might be hiding in that deep mountain forest," Lin Yifan answered.
That deep mountain forest is rarely entered by people; the intelligence organization's personnel didn't dare to act recklessly, fearing they'd be eradicated entirely, so they never sent anyone to scout the deep mountain forest.
Because they knew that the entire forest might be monitored by the Shadow Organization, they might be closely watched before even entering.
"Is it risky for us to venture there?" Boss Ding asked curiously.
"Senior Brother, it's just an organization with a True Master Realm powerhouse; there's no need to be so scared. As long as we're careful and light-footed, no one will find us," Lin Yifan replied.
To coax this "shield" into joining him to rescue his girlfriend, he had to lie.
"Alright! Senior Brother will follow your lead," Boss Ding responded.
Since he had already come, backing out at this point would be too hurtful.
"Thank you, Senior Brother, for your help. I express my gratitude on behalf of my girlfriend," Lin Yifan rejoiced.
Having Boss Ding around increased his chances of success.
"Eh! No need for thanks; it's my duty as your senior brother," Boss Ding replied politely.
"With a good senior brother like you, I must praise you more in front of Master in the future," Lin Yifan added some "sweetness" for Boss Ding to make him feel better.
If people are only asked to give silently, they will surely be unhappy; no matter who they are, they all have this mindset. Hence, at this moment, he needed to offer some benefits to avoid making Boss Ding feel "unfair."
Sure enough, Boss Ding felt better upon hearing this: "Eh! That's a good approach, I like it."
"As long as Senior Brother likes it," Lin Yifan secretly rejoiced, finding Boss Ding easy to handle.
So, after checking Yongle Village's location in Fukang City, Qiandu County on the map, the two set out at night.
Using Qinggong, they distanced themselves from the dangerous Pyongyang. After reaching a large county, they stopped to rest and reorganize.
Qiandu County is in a remote area, far from Pyongyang, so if they traveled overnight using Qinggong, it would greatly deplete their Cultivation Power. To ensure they had enough Cultivation Power to infiltrate and rescue the hostages upon arrival, they decided to use modern transportation for part of the journey.
Empire of Dongying's counties are equivalent to Shenzhou Country's provinces, albeit smaller in area; their administrative levels in each country are the same.
After settling in a 24-hour restaurant chain, Lin Yifan ordered many delicious dishes and indulged with Boss Ding.
They were starving due to days of surveillance; if it weren't for their Cultivation Power sustaining them, they couldn't have lasted this long. Now, they needed to replenish their physical energy.
Seeing so much delicious food in front of him, Boss Ding couldn't resist his hunger and began to devour the food voraciously.
Though a powerful cultivator capable of long endurance without food, without using Cultivation Power to supplement physical energy, he still felt hunger like an ordinary person.
On the other hand, Lin Yifan also set aside his status and began to devour the food.
Two days without eating had left him famished.
Eating and eating, Boss Ding couldn't help but ask, "Junior Brother, how did you find 'them'?"
The "them" in his question referred to the intelligence organization's operatives. Since this was a public place, he couldn't explicitly say "intelligence organization operatives," so he used "them" as a substitute, trusting that Lin Yifan understood.
"They used the small fishing boat to divert our attention; the real 'them' were on another large fishing boat," Lin Yifan answered.
"When was the hemp sack transferred?" Boss Ding asked curiously.
