Chapter 580: Alone in Danger

Qi Tongwei didn't hesitate at all and immediately reached out and dialed He Zhijun's number.

After the phone rang a few times, He Zhijun immediately answered it.

He Zhijun's sleepy voice came from the receiver. He forced himself to be alert and asked, "Do you have any clues?"

Qi Tongwei said: "I found a video and want to show it to you."

His fingers moved quickly on the keyboard, sending the video to He Zhijun.

While waiting for He Zhijun to review the video, Qi Tongwei felt extremely heavy-hearted. His eyes were fixed on the computer screen, trying to find some new clues from the horrific scene.

After He Zhijun received the video, he clicked on it to watch.

As the video played, He Zhijun's breathing became rapid.

The moment the video ended, his hands trembled involuntarily, and he almost immediately dialed Qi Tongwei's number.

The moment Qi Tongwei answered the phone, He Zhijun's voice came over with an uncontrollable tremor: "Where did you find him? This is Lu Hao."

He could not connect the cruelly treated man in the video with the Lu Hao in his memory, but he knew that it was Lu Hao. He was certain of it from the familiar body shape and the unique scars on his arms left by previous injuries.

When Qi Tongwei heard what He Zhijun said, his heart sank.

He originally still held a glimmer of hope that he had nothing to do with the missing comrades.

But now, things are going against our wishes.

He clenched his fists and said, "I found it on the bounty page on the dark web. Those guys must have posted this video on purpose. They're trying to show us off."

He Zhijun gritted his teeth and said, "What on earth do these beasts want to do? Lu Hao and the other soldier must be in a very dangerous situation now. We must find a solution as soon as possible."

Qi Tongwei took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. He said, "Captain, I think this video is cruel, but it may be a breakthrough."

"We can start with some details in the video, such as the background environment and the characteristics of the hand, and perhaps find their hiding place."

He Zhijun was silent for a moment, then said, "You're right."

"We can't let anger get the better of us. The most important thing now is to find them."

"Continue your investigation on the dark web and see if you can find more clues."

"I will also arrange for technical personnel to analyze the video."

"Yes, Captain."

Qi Tongwei answered firmly.

Qi Tongwei logged into the dark web again. His fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, and various codes and instructions flashed across the screen.

He tried to use his superb hacking skills to penetrate the layers of encrypted protection on the dark web and track the location of the person who posted the video.

However, the dark web is like a huge and mysterious maze, and its IP address confidentiality measures are extremely strict.

Every data transmission is like passing through thick fog, going through countless disguises and jumps.

Although Qi Tongwei possesses advanced hacking skills, he also encountered huge obstacles in the process.

He continued to crack encryption algorithms one after another, trying to find a clue from the intricate data link.

Fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, and his eyes were fixed on the screen, not missing any potentially useful information.

However, every time when he felt he was getting closer to his goal, he was always blocked by a new encryption wall.

Although Qi Tongwei had tried his best, he could only roughly pinpoint one country, which was Country X.

This made him feel very upset. He knew that such a result was far from enough to rescue his comrades.

But Qi Tongwei did not give up. He began to look through all the videos that the other party had filmed and posted on the dark web.

This is a tedious task that requires extreme patience because there are so many videos and most of the content is disorganized.

Qi Tongwei carefully examined each frame, not missing any details.

His eyes became dry and bloodshot from staring at the screen for so long.

Finally, in a frame of a recent video, he found a key clue - a taxi.

The taxi only flashed by in the picture, but the license plate number was clearly visible.

Qi Tongwei's eyes widened instantly.

He quickly wrote down the license plate number and hope was rekindled in his heart.

He knew that this might be an important clue to break the dilemma. What he had to do next was to use the license plate number to find relevant information about the taxi in Country X, and then track down the specific location of the person who posted the video.

After a while, hurried footsteps were heard in the corridor, coming from far away.

He Zhijun ran over panting, his forehead covered with sweat, his eyes filled with anxiety and anticipation.

"Tongwei, do you have any other clues?"

He asked, breathing heavily.

Qi Tongwei nodded, his fingers tapping quickly on the keyboard, and began to search in depth for information about the car.

He first hacked into the database of Country X's transportation department. This was a risky operation, but for the sake of his comrades, he could not care less.

The database's firewall tried to block his intrusion, but Qi Tongwei cleverly avoided each line of defense.

Finally, he successfully entered the database and found detailed records about the taxi.

He discovered that the car was registered and operated in a third-tier city in Country X, called Taohe City.

Qi Tongwei was not satisfied with this initial discovery, he continued to dig into the driving records of the car.

From the dense data, he carefully sorted out the car's driving trajectory.

He found that according to the records of this car in the past half month, it was almost always driven within the urban area of Taohe City.

Neither the pick-up and drop-off locations nor the daily driving routes exceed the scope of Taohe City.

Qi Tongwei said: "It seems that they are all in Taohe City, Country X."

When He Zhijun heard the news, his eyes lit up. He walked over to Qi Tongwei, looked at the data on the computer screen, and said, "This is a very important clue."

"But even though Taohe City is a third-tier city, it's quite large. How can we find their exact location?"

Qi Tongwei frowned and thought for a while, then said: "We can start with the driver of this car."

"If we can find the driver, we might be able to get some useful information."

He Zhijun nodded and said, "Okay, then let's make a plan now and go to Taohe City in Country X as soon as possible."

He Zhijun said slowly: "Tongwei, if you want to go, I will find a few people for you, and you can go together. I don't want this kind of danger to happen again."

Qi Tongwei raised his head slightly, looked He Zhijun straight in the eye, and said without hesitation: "Too many people can sometimes lead to problems. I believe in their ability, but I can't be distracted and pay attention to them all the time."

He Zhijun frowned and took a step forward. His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, trying to persuade Qi Tongwei: "Tongwei, I know you are very capable, but we are all aware of the danger of this mission."

"More people means more strength, and more helpers can look after each other in case of emergencies."

"It's too risky for you to go into the tiger's den alone."

Qi Tongwei shook his head slightly, his expression unchanged, and patiently explained, "Captain, I understand your concerns."

"But this mission requires a high degree of mobility and concealment."

"If there are too many people, it will be easy to expose the target when taking action."

"Also, everyone has their own combat style and habits. In an emergency, I may not be able to quickly coordinate everyone's actions."

He paused and continued, "If I act alone, I can make decisions quickly based on the actual situation without having to consider the opinions and safety of too many people."

"I can respond more flexibly to various complex situations, and be more efficient whether tracking enemies or avoiding danger."

He Zhijun sighed and said, "But I'm really worried about you facing that mysterious and cruel Bu Jianyue organization alone."

"Their strength should not be underestimated. If something happens to you alone, how will we explain it to your family and comrades?"

Qi Tongwei's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a confident smile: "Captain, I know you are doing this for my own good."

"But I'm not going to take the risk without any preparation. I've collected some information about them on the dark web. Although it's not much, it allows me to understand them a little bit."

"Moreover, I believe that I am capable enough to handle any situation that may arise."

He Zhijun knew that no matter how much he tried to persuade him, it would be of no avail.

He shook his head helplessly, patted Qi Tongwei on the shoulder and said, "Then you must be careful. If you encounter any situation, you must contact the headquarters in time."

"Your safety is the most important thing. If you find that the situation is not right, don't force yourself to stay. You must find a way to evacuate first."

Qi Tongwei nodded, his eyes full of gratitude: "Don't worry, Captain, I will be careful."

"I will definitely bring my comrades back and make Bu Jianyue pay for what they did."

Although He Zhijun was worried about Qi Tongwei's safety, he also knew that Qi Tongwei's decision was well considered.

Qi Tongwei was ready to embark on a dangerous journey alone.
