Shi Haoran focused intently on the technicians' positioning.
Just as he expected, within three minutes, the phone signal vanished again.
He collapsed into a chair, coughing even more violently.
Director Zheng rushed over personally, but Shi Haoran waved him off: "Director Zheng, have Xiao Qi and the others return; there's no need for them to go to Town B. We've been played."
Director Zheng furrowed his brows: "Old Shi, we all know you're anxious. But since there's a lead, let them go check it out before we decide."
