I chose one of four options at the start, and I chose the number one clan in Lingnan.

Half an hour later, the seven members of the South Island Grey Reef Security Company received a departure notice.

They did not use the same flight; some entered Jiangnan as port equipment dealers, while others entered with exhibition invitations.

The remaining teams will converge from three routes: Haiqing Port, Beijing, and the provincial capital, with a total of thirty-nine people.

Masanobu Kuroda did not write Lin Ting's name in the mission briefing.

The overt action required was to track Lin Ting's motorcade and create the illusion of an attack on the grandfather.

The actual list is only four pages long. At the top is Wei Jianguo, followed by twelve engineers from the Hongtu Bearing Group, the Machine Tool Group, and the Huasheng Materials Group.

After losing its route patent, Mitsui will be unable to modify all of its R&D plans in the short term.

If the Hayashi technical team withdraws from the national-level equipment project, Mitsui can use accidents, reviews, and project delays to try and regain a window of opportunity.

After reviewing the list, Gray Reef leader Marcus destroyed the paper mission sheets.

"The provincial capital team is responsible for attracting Lin's security, while the action team enters the Hongtu family compound. Target personnel are not allowed to leave the scene, nor can they participate in next month's joint verification. The scene should be treated as an electrical fault, and everyone should evacuate from the Jiangbei Wharf."

The day after the 39 people entered the provincial capital in batches, the Lin family's security risk platform showed abnormalities.

The first anomaly originated from the South District Logistics Park.

Eight men holding foreign documents rented an old warehouse outside the park, registering their business as stage equipment repair.

Instead of purchasing audio equipment and lighting fixtures, the goods delivered to the warehouse included communication jamming equipment, industrial cutting tools, and multiple sets of fake work clothes.

The second anomaly was submitted by Lin Shun, a driver for Lin's Logistics.

Lin Shun received a charter car order at the airport. Six foreign passengers requested to avoid the main road, and their destination was not a hotel, but an apartment near Hongtu Machinery Factory.

The auditorium did not allow Lin Shun to continue following the vehicle. The driver's terminal automatically recorded the order time, payment account, and drop-off location, and the relevant information was entered into Lin's Security Platform.

Lin Dabiao delivered the two unusual items to the ancestral hall.

"A total of 26 foreign nationals were spotted at the airport, logistics park, and three hotels."

The remaining thirteen people were scattered in short-term rental apartments, and their identification information was not a direct problem. They rented seven minivans, two of which were modified.

Lin Ting looked through the vehicle registration.

"Don't arrest people at the hotel; public activities don't prove they have a mission. Have NanDun Security notify the contracted industrial parks to strengthen gate checks."

Logistics drivers are only responsible for reporting their location; they are not allowed to follow other vehicles or stop other vehicles. Any prohibited items encountered should be handed over to the Economic Crime Investigation Department.

Lin Dabiao had originally planned to deploy people at the airport, but after hearing the arrangements, he withdrew the list.

"Zhongtang will protect Hongtu and Huasheng. Mitsui suffered from the patent loss, so the personnel they sent will not just do surveillance."

If they disperse and enter residential areas, the family members of the technicians should also be included in the protection efforts.

In the afternoon, three minivans appeared on the outer ring road of Tazhai.

The vehicles took turns following Lin Ting's usual black sedan, and then the driver was changed two kilometers away from the ancestral hall.

The people inside the car filmed the gatekeepers, security vehicles, and Lin Ting's travel route, making no attempt to conceal their actions.

Wang Kai retrieved the vehicle communication records from the Red Passenger Department.

"These three vehicles were using public navigation systems, and their calls were not encrypted. A professional team wouldn't make the tracking that thorough; they were waiting for the Lin family to discover it."

Lin Zheng compared the three vehicles with the old data from Beijia.

"Beijia already knows the vehicles that Taigong usually uses, so there's no need for Mitsui to send eight people to reshoot. They want to transfer Zhongtang back to Tazhai, and there's another group in the provincial capital."

Lin Ting instructed his driver to take the regular sedan to the Donghai Bay construction site, where two members of the Zhongtang gang were put inside. The three vans followed them out of the city and then split up to encircle them outside the tollbooth.

No additional personnel were deployed to the Tazhai gate.

Driver terminals around Hongtu in the provincial capital received a risk reporting notification.

More than 3,000 drivers, both self-operated and partnered with Lin's Logistics, only need to register vehicles with abnormal status and are not subject to tracking.

When a truck passes through a storage area, gas station, or repair market, the onboard terminal will upload the time and license plate number.

In less than two hours, the itinerary of the seven minivans was pieced together.

Four vehicles moved around Tazhai and Donghai Bay, while the other three remained near Hongtu Family Compound.

The latter used a fake license plate, parking in the hospital parking lot during the day and then moving into the used freight market at night.

A cold chain driver submitted a new location report.

While unloading goods at the old freight market, he saw two foreign men loading gas repair suits into a van.

The vehicle is marked with the logo of the provincial capital's energy service company, but no corresponding repair work order can be found on the platform.

Lin Zheng overlaid the freight market, Hongtu Family Compound, and the addresses of the technical staff onto the map.

Seven veteran technicians from Hongtu lived in the same residential compound. Wei Jianguo's house was located in Building No. 2, and the downstairs was the activity room for veteran employees.

Three other bearing engineers live nearby, and their family information was collected by Chart Strategy.

Wang Kai reviewed the old list of leaked information.

"This list of family members was accessed by the Kitamitsu server before the Kuroshio attack."

The account used for the call belonged to the Mitsui Minami Island campus; the people following Taigong were bait, the real action team was in Hongtu.

Lin Dabiao turned around to prepare to transfer people.

"I led Zhongtang to seal off the family compound and transferred Director Wei away first. The thirty-nine people were scattered throughout the provincial capital, and those left outside would continue to contact the families of the technical personnel."

Lin Ting raised his hand and pressed down on the dispatch table.

"Wei Jianguo cannot disappear, and the family compound must maintain its original schedule. If the other side discovers that personnel have been evacuated, they will change locations, and the chain of evidence will be broken."

Fifty members of the Loyal Hall entered the family compound in batches, while their vehicles were parked three kilometers away. All actions were documented by the security recording team.

Lin Fu supplemented the official arrangements.

"Captain Chen has received the information about the old warehouse, and the Economic Investigation Committee will verify the source of the communication equipment and the fake work clothes."

Hongtu Family Compound falls within the contracted area of ​​Lin's Security, allowing Zhongtang to provide protection within the residences.

No roadblocks will be set up on the outer perimeter; the exits will be sealed off once the action team has entered with their tools.

At nine o'clock at night, Wei Jianguo finished the research institute meeting and took a car back to the family compound.

He was still checking the patent documents in the back seat and did not notice that the residents in the building had already completed the adjustments.

The elderly and children used the community health checkup as an excuse to enter the employee service center, while several young family members were arranged to attend the Hongtu Nighttime Welfare Briefing.

Wei Jianguo returned to Building No. 2, ate the late-night snack that Yitang had delivered, and then went to his bedroom to rest.

He was busy for two days straight and didn't even ask about the extra boxes of security equipment that appeared in the living room.

Outside the family compound, a van was fitted with a third license plate.

Marcus sat in the passenger seat, reviewing the floor plan uploaded by the task force.

Three commercial vehicles are still following Lin Ting's convoy in Donghai Bay, while Zhongtang's public vehicles are parked in the direction of Tazhai.

He assigned tasks to the nine members in the back row.

"Keep your energy company work ID in your outer pocket and control the security guard after entering Building 2."

Wei Jianguo lived in the east-facing apartment on the third floor; the technical documents were in his study. After completion, he withdrew through the north gate; a boat would meet him at the Jiangbei dock.

The van turned off its interior lights and drove past the west gate of Hongtu Machinery Factory.

There were no security vehicles at the intersection ahead, and only one elderly man was sitting at the gate of the residential compound.

At 10:08, a disguised van approached the Hongtu family compound.
