Jason encouraged his officers, "So, we will win this war!"
That being said, later that night, Jason went back to his bedroom alone. He sat and thought about the situation. He felt that he still had to do more preparations. For example, he absolutely had to buy more gasoline.
He activated his ability and shuttled back to the modern side. Jason appeared in the dark, familiar warehouse. He picked up his mobile phone from where he'd left it and looked at the screen. He was surprised to see dozens of missed calls. The notification log showed that they were all from Lin Xiaohan.
Jason immediately called back. The call was connected almost instantly.
"Jason, where are you now? Are you back?" Lin Xiaohan's voice sounded hurried and anxious over the phone.
Jason felt a strange, sinking feeling. Not everything was fine before, but this sounded different. Could something new have happened?
Squeezing the phone in his hand, Jason asked, "Xiaohan, what's the matter? Don't worry, speak slowly. I'm back now. I'm at the warehouse."
"Great!" she almost yelled. "Come back to the villa quickly. There are some things... you just can't explain them on the phone. Come back quickly! I'll wait for you here!"
As she spoke, Lin Xiaohan turned to look at the woman standing right next to her. She spoke exactly according to the other party's instructions.
Looking at the hung-up phone, Jason's face sank. He didn't know what could have happened to make Lin Xiaohan so anxious.
Without thinking too much, Jason immediately started his car and rushed toward the villa.
On the other side, at the villa, Lin Xiaohan held the phone tightly in her hand. Her eyes were filled with unease. She looked at the several other people in the room and said worriedly, "I did as you said. Jason will be back soon."
"Thank you for your cooperation, Miss Lin," an ordinary-looking middle-aged man nodded.
"Jason , he really didn't do anything illegal," Lin Xiaohan suddenly said, her words rambling. "I... I don't know the source of the wood, but Jason can't be smuggling..."
She was almost incoherent, clearly and truly scared by these people who said they were from State Security. She was just a regular person and had never dealt with "Guoan" before. She had never even heard of this mysterious department in her normal, daily life.
"Miss Lin, we also hope that Mr. Jason did not do anything illegal," the older woman next to her, who looked very kind, said in a comforting tone. "But the source and destination of your company's goods have been investigated, and there are big problems. In some cases, we need to personally confirm these things with Mr. Jason."
She tried to reassure her, "Don't worry. We just want to chat with Mr. Jason. Maybe it's not as bad as you think."
After listening to these words, the worry on Lin Xiaohan's face did not diminish at all. She just sat on the sofa blankly, holding the phone tightly in both hands, not knowing what would happen next.
It had been two days. Two days ago, these investigators, who claimed to be the third group of State Security, came to the company. After showing their credentials, they directly took her into custody.
Although they said that it would not hinder her freedom, there was always this kind-faced older woman by her side. No matter when she was eating, sleeping, or even just going to the toilet, there were people who followed her. Lin Xiaohan was really about to collapse.
During this entire period, she was always being asked to contact Jason. But Jason's phone couldn't get through at all. She was terrified, until this evening, when Jason finally called back.
Lin Xiaohan didn't know what would happen later, and she felt extremely, deeply uneasy at this time.
Less than half an hour later, the sound of a car engine rang out from outside the villa.
The team leader and several other team members immediately occupied the door and other key positions. They ensured that once Jason entered the villa, all his escape routes would be blocked.
"Xiaoying, Xiaoying, this is Dashu. The target vehicle is parked at the villa. The target got off."
The report from the surveillance personnel outside the villa sounded in Team Leader's headset. He reached out and pressed the headset. Team Leader replied in a low voice, his expression calm, "The little eagle has received it. The big tree is on standby. Continue to monitor."
"Received, will continue to monitor," the headset sizzled with the words of the surveillance personnel.
Jason, who knew nothing about all this, parked the car. He got out of the car in a hurry and walked quickly into the villa.
Jason hurriedly pushed open the door and walked into the villa, shouting loudly, "Xiaohan, I'm back! You... what...?"
"Jason!" Lin Xiaohan looked at her boyfriend who just walked in. She stood up from the sofa, and was just about to walk over, but was immediately pulled back down by the elder sister Zhang sitting right next to her.
"Who are you?" Jason looked at all the new people in the living room. He asked with a wary expression, his first thought being that Lin Xiaohan had been kidnapped.
Click.
The door of the villa was closed behind him. A young man blocked the door. Another young man stood in front of the window, completely blocking his back path.
The team leader took out his ID and showed it to Jason. "Mr. Jason, we are members of the third team of State Security. I am the team leader Marcus.
"State... State Security?" Jason opened his mouth in surprise. He subconsciously looked at the documents in the hands of Team Leader Marcus.
Team leader raised the certificate in his hand and handed it to him. "It doesn't matter. You can check this certificate carefully. Or, you can directly call 110 to confirm. Our number is also recorded at the police station. After all, sometimes it's more convenient when we use the police."
After taking the other party's certificate, Jason already believed their words in his heart. He was also very depressed. It seemed that his secret was finally exposed.
However, just for safety, Jason still followed the other party's instructions. He dialed 110 on his mobile phone and personally confirmed the identity of the other party.
While he was confirming their identity with the police station, Jason was already thinking in his heart: how could he have a showdown with the whole country?
After the phone call, the police station confirmed that they did have the number and identity information on the certificate. This was enough to determine that the other party was not a liar.
After all, there is no liar who dares to lie to the police station.
"Mr. Jason, are you sure of our identities now?" Team Leader took back his credentials, his expression as calm as ever.
"Well, I can be sure." Jason took a deep breath, knowing that it was time to play.
Marcus stretched out his hand, inviting Jason to sit down. "Then, can you explain the whereabouts of the large quantities of wood sold by your company? As well as the various soaps, pencils, and gasoline purchased by you?"
The two sat down on the sofa, facing each other. Lin Xiaohan nervously followed her boyfriend and sat beside him, looking at Jason uneasily.
Jason gently comforted his girlfriend with a slight smile. He then looked at Team Leader and the others with a wry smile. "It seems that you still found out. I thought I was being careful enough."
Hearing this, Team Leader Marcus nodded. "In this era of big data on the Internet, to be honest, many things are not secret in the eyes of the state. As long as we want to investigate, nothing can surpass our eyes."
He paused. "However, you... you are an exception."
