Welcome to "I'm Trapped in the Same Day for a Thousand Years," exclusively produced by Feilu Novel Network, narrated by Sang Ze Wang Xiaomo Lao He.

Even after fully determining the timing and method by which the other party would create the accident, Wu Chen still allowed them to know his whereabouts again.

Only in this way, if Wu Chen drives out, the other party will also drive out, making it easier for them to catch them on the road.

After making the call to Li Ruotai, Wu Chen drove to CBD7.

Meanwhile, Li Ruotai, who was at the Crown Entertainment Club, immediately called Wang Zhuangyuan, Zhao Guai, and other figures in the East Sea after ending his call with Wu Chen, instructing them to mobilize as many people as possible in the shortest possible time.

The search of the entire East Sea mainly involved traveling.

After arranging for his own people to handle the matter, Li Ruotai also used his connections to directly obtain the implementation data of the East Sea traffic monitoring system.

East Sea is Li Ruotai's territory.

If Ding Ruilong's men are hiding, then he won't be able to find them for a while. But if they aren't hiding, but are driving on the road, then there's no way he won't find them.

A few minutes later, Wu Chen was driving when his phone rang. It was Meng Junhao calling. Wu Chen glanced at it, answered, and said directly, "I know I won't handle it."

He hung up immediately after saying that.

More than 20 minutes later, Wu Chen drove his Lamborghini back onto Commerce East Road, the same road where he had the accident. However, he had to drive quite a distance further ahead, at the intersection of Commerce East Road and Wanping Road.

This time, Wu Chen didn't drive that far after entering Commerce East Road. He drove forward for a while and then turned directly onto Xinbei Road.

Driving along Xinbei Road, it's not far to the side, right next to the well-known Xinmao Shopping Center, which is near the CBD.

Wu Chen drove off the road and directly into the underground parking garage of the Xinmao Shopping Center.

This shopping center is a large mall with only 5 floors, but it occupies a very large area.

The shopping center has a large supermarket on the basement level, leisure and shopping on the ground floor, including some luxury stores, a similar lobby on the second floor, a children's playground and an arcade on the third floor, restaurants on the fourth floor, and a movie theater on the fifth floor.

At this time of day, it was not yet 8:30 a. m., and like other large shopping malls, Xinmao Shopping Center did not open until 9:00 a. m. It was not open at 8:30 a. m., and the nearby streets were also deserted.

Even so, some facilities in the shopping center are still usable.

The main entrance is open. The escalator from the First Floor to the basement is a few steps long, the elevator is also in use, and you can park in the parking lot, as the large supermarket on the basement level opens at 7 a. m.

There's also a cinema on the Fifth Floor, a café-style cinema that's open 24 hours. So even though the main shopping center facilities are closed at this time, you can still go inside.

You can only go to the cinema on the Fifth Floor or the large supermarket on the basement level. You definitely can't just wander around; there are temporary barriers and railings, and you'll also encounter security guards.

After parking his car in the underground parking lot of the Xinmao Shopping Center, Wu Chen got out and walked towards the elevator. He then took out his phone and dialed Li Ruotai's number again. "Brother-in-law, how are you?"

I've already arranged for the top scorer and his team to personally lead the search; they're already on their way.

As soon as the call connected, Li Ruotai couldn't wait to ask, "Are you alright?"

Wu Chen smiled and said, "I'm on Commerce East Road now. Those cars nearby have followed me. Please make arrangements."

Good, good, brother- Commerce East Road, don't worry.

This is why Wu Chen went through it all again, following the original route, before finally changing course – to deter Ding Ruilong's vehicles and make them easier to catch.

Although Wu Chen could have told Li Ruotai during the previous phone call to arrange an ambush near Commerce East Road, given Li Ruotai's temperament, he might have made a big fuss about it.

Commerce East Road is the only way for Wu Chen to enter the CBD from his home. Unless Wu Chen takes a very long detour, Ding Ruilong's people must have made arrangements here in advance.

If Li Ruotai were to make a big fuss prematurely, it might alert the enemy. Wu Chen didn't want them to escape, so it was better to proceed cautiously this way.

After finishing his phone call with Li Ruo Ruota, Wu Chen entered the elevator, took it straight to the fifth floor, and then went into the movie theater. It was a very unique movie theater, with seats everywhere in the lobby and many monitors playing movies on the walls, one near each table, but they were all showing popular movies that had already finished their run.

You can also watch currently showing movies, but you'll need to buy a ticket to enter the movie theater.

In other words, this cinema offers two modes: one is to relax with coffee in the lobby and watch movies on the walls or the big screen; the other is no different from other cinemas.

Wu Chen didn't go to see the popular movie; instead, he bought a cup of coffee and found a corner seat in the lobby to sit down and drink it.

Because it was still very early, only a little past 8 a. m., there were almost no other customers in the cinema lobby besides the staff; business wasn't very good.

Wu Chen had known for a long time that business here wasn't good.

24-hour cinemas are a relatively new phenomenon, having only emerged a few years ago. They are a unique feature primarily found in large cities, and cinemas in particular are a relatively new phenomenon.

Wu Chen remembered that there was a 24-hour café-cinema in the Central District, which did quite well. Although there weren't many customers in the morning, it wasn't as deserted as this place.

Wu Chen deliberately chose this spot.

It's not just this movie theater that's deserted; the Xinmao Shopping Center where the theater is located is also not doing very well. If it's not a holiday, the entire shopping center has very few customers.

Wu Chen will wait here for news from Li Ruotai and Ding Ruilong's next move.

More than 10 minutes later, a man with a buzz cut wearing a mask was driving a white refrigerated truck on Fuyou Road near the CBD.

Because Wu Chen suddenly changed his driving route and drove into an underground parking lot of a shopping mall, he had to temporarily abandon the operation and change his route to return.

The refrigerated truck drove very steadily and at a low speed.

Suddenly, a minivan cut in front of them at high speed. The driver, a man with a buzz cut, slammed on the brakes, but still managed to scrape against the minivan. The minivan in front then came to a stop after traveling another two meters.

Hey kid, can't you drive?

The crew-cut man, already in a bad mood due to the setback, cursed, turned off the car, and got out to check the situation.

He had just gotten out of the car when the van door opened.

A group of young people got out of the car, looking aggressive, and they were all carrying steel pipes and baseball bats.

Do you know how to drive?

Are you blind?!

These young people were very hot-tempered, so much so that it made one suspect they were deliberately trying to stage an accident.

The disheveled man wearing a mask subconsciously thought this, but he didn't act impulsively; instead, he remained calm.

Even if all these young people ganged up on him, they might not be able to beat him, but he can't cause trouble. I'll compensate you for whatever amount you owe.

The man with the buzz cut said as he took off his mask.

At that moment, several vans and Volkswagen Santana cars drove up and stopped around the refrigerated truck.

People got out of all those cars; a group of people who were either tattooed or wearing thick gold chains.

The crew-cut man's expression changed. He was about to move, seemingly to go back to his friend's car.

The slightly overweight middle-aged man who got off the tiger-shaped car covered his face with his thick, fleshy hair, and at the same time, he lifted his coat.

From the angle of the crew-cut man, you can see that the slightly overweight middle-aged man has a gun tucked into his waistband.

The crew-cut man's pupils constricted sharply upon seeing the gun; he understood.

The crew-cut man understood that this group was after him, and he could even guess that it was Li Ruotai's doing.

This group was clearly from the East Sea region and was under the command of Li Ruotai.

However, although he knew it was Li Ruotai, he couldn't understand how the news had leaked.

There should never have been a leak. His operation was arranged suddenly, and he was an outsider. The people in charge of the final operation had only arrived in the East Sea in the last two days. They were not the same group as the people investigating and tracking Wu Chen. Although they all obeyed one person, they did not share information. Only the boss knew everything. It couldn't have been the boss who betrayed him. He was Young Master Ding's absolute confidant.

The crew-cut man didn't dare to move again.

He's a great fighter, but no matter how skilled he is in martial arts, he can't beat a gun!

The middle-aged man tilted his head again as he was taken away for a follow-up visit.

Several young men went up, first taking the crew-cut man's phone, and then searching his body.

Meanwhile, a similar scene was unfolding on another road in another direction near the CBD.

Around 9 a. m., in a villa in the western district of Donghai City, Jiang Chuan, with a centipede scar on his head and a strong sense of thuggery, sat on the sofa, looking at his phone and waiting for a call. Six or seven bodyguards, all of whom were Jiang Chuan's men, stood around the sofa.

Although Jiang Chuan was Ding Ruilong's trusted general, capable of handling important matters, and also served as a bodyguard, he brought quite a few bodyguards with him this time to the East Sea. He was extremely cautious; he wasn't afraid of anything else, except for Li Ruotai finding out his whereabouts.

Therefore, before they have done anything, Li Ruotai will not do anything to them, but they will definitely be detained in the East Sea. Even though the Li Family and the Ding Family are now partners and are on the same side, Li Ruotai will know that.

He said that the ship was able to come to the East Sea because it was ordered by Ding Ruilong to do something, and that something must be related to Li Ruobing. So, Li Ruota Ruobing's protective nature towards her sister, if she were really detained in the East Sea, it wouldn't be easy for the Ding Family to get her back, even if she hadn't done anything. On the other hand, he was here to do something big.

Two middle-aged men were sitting on the sofa opposite Jiang Chuan, one on his left and one on his right. The man on his left was Meng Junhao, and the man on his right was Ding Runlong.

The man in the East Sea is named Cao Feng, and he is the owner of a medium-sized real estate company in the East Sea.

The Villa's living room was quiet. Meng Junhao seemed somewhat restless, constantly drinking water and then going to the toilet several times.

Jiang Chuan had noticed Meng Junhao a few times, glancing at him several times, but said nothing. He knew that Meng Junhao had been arrested by Li Ruotai, then lied to Li Ruotai, saying he was a spy for him, and then told his boss, Ding Ruilong, about it.

Therefore, Jiang Chuan could understand why Meng Junhao was nervous, because if Wu Chen had an accident today, Li Ruodai would definitely blame him for not informing him.

In fact, Jiang Chuan was also wary of him in this regard, worried that Meng Junhao might not be able to withstand the pressure and would tip off Li Ruotai.

Therefore, Jiang Chuan did not let Meng Junhao see the personnel he brought, but only let Meng Junhao hear him make phone calls to arrange operations.

Meng Junhao also had no idea who else had come to the East Sea; even if he tried to tip them off, he couldn't possibly get the information right.

This arrangement can also be seen as a test of Meng Junhao's loyalty. If he informs Li Ruotai in advance but still cannot explain who is going to make the move, Li Ruotai cannot directly arrest the person or deal with it immediately, he will definitely call Li Ruobing. Then Li Ruobing will definitely call Ding Ruilong directly and curse Ding Ruilong's ancestors eight generations back.

Li Ruobing had done this before; she would do it every time something went wrong.

In other words, in Jiang Chuan's view, as long as his boss Ding Runlong suddenly called to tell him that the information had been leaked, it would be certain that there was a traitor, and there was no need to think too much about who the traitor was.

Conversely, as long as these things don't happen, then Meng Junhao is loyal.

As time passed, Jiang Chuan, who was looking at his phone, glanced at the time and then frowned slightly.

It had been a long time. He had received a call before, in which the operatives told him that Wu Chen had suddenly changed his route and gone to the Xinmao Shopping Center near Commerce East Road. He didn't know if he was going to the supermarket to buy things or what.

Regarding this, Jiang Chuan had suspected that the information might have been leaked, but then he thought that wouldn't make sense. If Wu Chen suddenly received news that he was going to be assassinated, he would definitely run as far away as possible and go directly to meet Li Ruota to do, rather than stopping at a shopping mall near the route to end the phone call. Jiang Chuan had already ordered them to withdraw and stand by, and had also ordered them to arrange other people to monitor and follow Wu Chen at the Xinmao Shopping Center.

So Jiang Chuan is still waiting for a call. He wants to see if he still has a chance today. If not, he will create one, because his boss, Ding Runlong, has only given him three days.

Today is the third day.

Jiang Chuan frowned as he looked at his phone. He felt it was about time and was already thinking of calling to ask about the situation.

Just then, his phone rang. Jiang Chuan looked at the caller ID on his phone and decisively pressed the answer button.

Have you gone back yet?

Jiang Chuan asked directly.

Brother Jiang, I'm being followed.

What?

The other person was speaking very quickly and urgently, but before they could finish speaking, there was a sudden exclamation, followed by a loud bang in the background, and then a series of noises, as if the phone had been dropped.

Jiang Chuan suddenly stood up; he could tell from the sounds that there had been a car accident!

Car accident!

I'm being followed!

Car accident?

This was intentional!

Before the call ended, Jiang Chuan could still faintly hear shouts of "I'll shoot you down!" and the sound of glass shattering.

It felt like the car was stuck in a remote area with no other vehicles or pedestrians nearby, so the other party started smashing the car without any restraint.

After a brief commotion, the phone call was disconnected, and Jiang Chuan couldn't get through when he tried to call back.

Jiang Chuan's face darkened. He immediately called the other people, but the result was the same—he couldn't get through to any of them!

Something's happened!

All the personnel involved in the operation have been killed!

This group of operatives hadn't moved before, but today!

Moreover, this operation was only planned two hours ago, and now the entire force has been wiped out. In the East Sea, who has such power?

Although Li Ruotai Jiang Chuan couldn't understand how Li Ruotai could have captured people so accurately, since the operation had been canceled at the last minute and nothing had been done yet, he didn't have time to think about it anymore.

Jiang Chuan immediately made another call to Ding Ruilong.

The call connected quickly, young master.

Jiang Chuan.

Nailed it?

Ding Ruilong's voice was slightly hoarse.

Has everyone been arrested by Li Ruotai?

Jiang Chuan paused for a moment before speaking.

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone, followed by heavy breathing.

It took Ding Ruilong about two seconds before he finally spoke through gritted teeth.

I'll say it again.

Everyone has been arrested by Li Ruotai!

Jiang Chuan repeated it word for word.

He had no choice; he had to make that call because he knew that if word got out about taking action against Wu Chen, there would be no chance to do it again.

Li Ruobing will definitely arrange a large group of people to protect Wu Chen, and Wu Chen will also temporarily lay low. However, some decisions are beyond Jiang Chuan's control.

Then all that could be heard on the other end of the phone was heavy breathing, followed by a loud thud; it was unclear what Ding Renlong had dropped.

Then, only heavy breathing remained.

For a while, news of who was walking was circulating.

Meng Junhao!

Ding Ruilong asked, suppressing his anger.

No?

Impossible, he doesn't know who the person in charge is.

Jiang Chuan.

In his rage, Ding Ruilong was at a loss for words. He paused for a moment, then screamed wildly again, "Kill him!"

Kill him right now!

Send men to chop them up!

Wu Chen, right now!

This concludes this episode. We hope you'll continue listening!
