17. The Search for a Disguise

Xu Ming was well aware of the risks involved in his latest move, but he was confident in his ability to execute his perfect plan. He had previously accomplished a similar feat on Earth without being discovered, despite being monitored by the top intelligence agencies of the earth.

He was under constant surveillance due to his role in arousing genocides, massacres, and civil wars in numerous countries, as well as the assassination of high-ranking officials in several nations. Since they couldn't be sure if it was Xu Ming, all they could do was monitor him.

Xu Ming wasted no time in his mission to find a police officer to use as a disguise. First, He carefully scrutinized the whereabouts of Wei Jian, who happened to be located at the outskirts of Beijing city. To carry out his plan, Xu Ming needed to find a native of Beijing who was also scheduled to execute an arrest operation.

Upon further investigation, Xu ming discovered from satellite that the location of Wei jian was ideal for his scheme, as Wei Jian's house was situated alongside the Main Road, flanked by a canal and a row of trees on either side.

Additionally, there was another main road adjacent to the canal, followed by a service road and a line of houses. And only one house was located behind Wei Jian's residence, with the surrounding area consisting solely of construction sites.

After conducting a satellite inspection of the home, Xu Ming discovered that the roads going up to Wang Jian's house were equipped with speeding ticket cameras; fortunately, these cameras were placed a comfortable 100 meters away from Wang Jian's House.

There were only cameras installed in Wang Jian's house and the residence located behind it, except for the cameras used for issuing speeding tickets. Additionally, there were cameras installed in houses across the canal from Wang Jian's house, but these houses were located far away from the road near Wang Jian's house, making it impossible for the cameras to capture footage of Wei Jian's house.

As a result, Xu Ming decided to give up his previous plan involving the cameras and came up with a simpler plan to disable them. To achieve this, he also intended to use camera jammer technology to disable cameras and also to prevent bystanders from recording videos near Wang Jian's house.

Xu Ming meticulously planned his next move, and began to hack into the Beijing police database to find a suitable disguise. After thorough searching, he found a match - a small police officer named Zhang Xue who was the same height and built as him. Xu Ming delved further into Zhang Xue's information and discovered that he was 32-year-old and was married and have a 6-year-old daughter and also he don't have any big background. This was the perfect disguise for Xu Ming's next operation.

Xu Ming deftly retrieved Zhang Xue's number from the police database and craftily sent him a message, similar to the one he had sent to Wang Hao, hoping to lure him in. He eagerly waited for a response, and to his satisfaction, Zhang Xue opened the message almost immediately, suggesting that he was already on his phone when it arrived.

With his hacking skills, Xu Ming infiltrated Zhang Xue's phone and began scouring through his phone, hoping to find any useful information. He struck gold when he discovered that Zhang Xue was in dire need of money through his messages.

The weight of Zhang Xue's financial responsibilities bore down on him heavily. With school fees from his daughter's previous class still unpaid, he also faced the daunting task of paying for her upcoming semester, along with the necessary expenses of books and a new bag. The burden was almost too much to bear.

As fate would have it, Xu Ming saw an opportunity in Zhang Xue's desperation. He concocted a scheme to lure Zhang Xue to a remote location where he could end his life. But the question remained: how could Xu Ming lure Zhang Xue to the trap he had set?

After a lot of thought, Xu Ming came up with a plan to lure Zhang Xue in.

The man sat on a dilapidated sofa, clearly made for three people, yet he sat there alone. The old sofa was in desperate need of repair, with visible patches adorning its surface. The man's face was plain, with yellow complexion and short hair, but his body radiated life and vitality.

Despite his physical state, he appeared worried, like he was carrying the world on his shoulders. He was donned in police outfit.

As he sat quietly in his living room, he was jolted from his thoughts by the sound of his phone's notification chime. Swiftly reaching for his device, he scanned the screen to see a series of notifications that caused him to leap to his feet.

The words that greeted him read: "This is Beijing National School. You have successfully completed the payment of Class 1 and Class 2 fees for the esteemed student, Zhang Lingxi."

As he read the messages, a huge shock surged through his body, leaving him bewildered and astonished. For weeks, he had been overwhelmed with worry over how he would pay for his daughter's schooling, yet here he was, holding a phone that informed him his concerns were not necessary.

Initially, he harbored doubts about the message's reliability, questioning whether it was mistakenly sent or meant for another pupil.

But when he saw his daughter's name Zhang Lingxi, he realized immediately that this message was for her. His thoughts were racing as he sought to learn the identity of this mysterious person and the reasons behind his actions.

Another notification disrupted his thoughts, pulling him back to the present moment. This time, the message came from an unknown number, and as he read the words, his eyes widened in shock and disbelief.

"I had paid your daughter's fees. If you want more money, come find me in Hangzhou two days later. The exact location will be revealed after two days."

These words kept repeating in his thoughts, leaving him with feelings like wonder, uncertainty, fear and a question: Who could this mysterious person be, and what is it that he wants from him? The sudden infusion of wealth had already left him feeling out of his depth, and the potential of an even greater fortune had him questioning whether he was stepping into some sort of trap.

Despite his concerns and fears, his curiosity forced him to accept the invitation and find out the reason behind this unexpected turn of events.
