National treasure

Inside the box, there is nothing.

Cheng Ling touched the inner wall with his hand, and his fingers were stained with flannel dust. Obviously, the river map inside had been removed.

He searched through the temporary office area and found no valuable clues, so he went straight out of the warehouse and contacted Zhong Zhe.

The call didn't come through right away.

After a while, Zhong Zhe responded softly.

Cheng Ling said directly: "It's just a temporary base, and the things have been removed."

Zhong Zhe's heart sank, and he looked at the man in the waiting hall who was sipping coffee. Now this was their only clue.

"I've arrived at St. Pancras Station. The person who came to meet me bought a ticket. It seems that he is going to take the 'Eurostar'. It is not clear where he will go."

"Be careful and hide, wait for me to come and meet you." Cheng Ling explained on the phone.

Zhong Zhe looked up at the timetable, "Then you have to hurry up, the train to Paris is still half an hour away, the train to Brussels is 10 minutes away, and the train to Amsterdam is less than an hour away."

Cheng Ling replied, "I'll be there in half an hour." He hung up the phone.

Since there was still a while, in order not to attract attention, Zhong Zhe stopped staring at the man and walked to the cafe not far away.

Cheng Ling connected the logistics again, "The fastest route to St. Pancras Station will arrive within half an hour."

The new trainee on the other end of the phone quickly tapped the keyboard to call up all the real-time traffic flow maps and enter the program to predict the situation.

"Report, it's still the fastest to drive."

"Send me the map."

"Sir, do you want to find one on the side of the road? You have to pick the lock, and the current car alarm system is very troublesome... Oh, I mean, sir, I have a better solution, please come within 5 minutes There will be a special vehicle and the best driver on call to this address I sent to your phone."

Cheng Ling was used to this new student's jumping off, and said succinctly: "Approved."

Five minutes later, he was on the side of the gas station and watched a red Volkswagen Golf slant towards him and almost hit himself.

The car came to a complete stop, the front door bounced open, and the young girl who was leaning halfway smiled awkwardly, "Sir, I promise to complete the task."

Cheng Ling got into the car, and the golf ball went out at a slant again.

"Have you been approved by your supervisor for your unauthorized attendance?"

During Cheng Ling's questioning, the car was at the intersection, and the girl made an exaggerated turn, turning both of them into tumblers.

"Report sir, all ground support has been dispatched. Uh, to be honest, there are only two ground staff left in the whole of London. There is a shortage of funds, so you can save as much personnel as you can. Your current task is the highest level, and the boss said that you can sell me to You, oh, send it to you."

"Oh, interns don't count as staff, do they?"

"You're so smart! Uh, thanks to the UK branch for providing our new trainees with an internship opportunity. I really wish for it."

The girl smiled awkwardly, hoping that she could get back after she said something off.

Cheng Ling's gaze never left the mark on the map for a moment. Although the new trainee's driving skills were poor, his speed was not slow, and his route was extremely familiar.

Half the distance has already been driven, and the time is just over half.Suddenly, two railroad tracks crossed the crossing in front of them. At this moment, the crossbars on both sides of the crossing had been lowered, and the warning beeping sounded incessantly.

The speed of the car body naturally slowed down.

"Don't stop." Cheng Ling said.

"Ah, what?" the girl asked blankly.

In the distance, the front of the train has appeared in the sight of the two of them.

The reaction of the new students was full of doubts and disbelief, and the speed of the car continued to slow down under the control of human instinct.

Cheng Ling didn't speak any more, just stepped forward, grabbed the steering wheel tightly, and accelerated to the bottom with one kick of the accelerator.

The locomotive that was crushing ahead pulled the harsh flute to warn, and the conductor jumped up in panic and hurriedly slowed down.

The bright red golf almost broke two layers of crossbars in the leap, and the rear wheel just hit the ground, and the train whizzed by.

Cheng Ling let go of the steering wheel, sat back in the front seat neatly, glanced sideways at the new student who couldn't even breathe for a while, his voice was calm and a little cold.

"Welcome to the ground crew."

At the same moment, St Pancras train station in London.

The lack of sleep and the intense pressure of tracking made Zhong Zhe feel bad, and two cups of coffee failed to ease his emotions, and the surrounding sounds made his senses tingle.

Ten minutes before the departure of the train to Paris, the man stood up.

Zhong Zhe tried his best to adjust his breathing and followed closely.

You must not lose your target, now, all hope is with him.

Soon, Cheng Ling received a call.

Zhong Zhe wore a bluetooth headset, tried his best to hide in the morning crowd and moved forward, watching the man step onto the platform and enter the carriage.

He pursed his lips, and quickly said to Cheng Ling: "Now I'm going to get in the car, see you in Paris."

A few minutes before the departure, the golfer stopped at St. Pancras Station, and the new student gave Cheng Ling the pass he had prepared. Cheng Ling rushed onto the platform tens of seconds before the departure.

The train attendant waved to him, and Cheng Ling strode into the carriage.

"Congratulations on catching up." The flight attendant smiled sincerely.

Cheng Ling lowered his eyes and nodded, "I have an appointment with someone."

The train started immediately. Cheng Ling leaned against the door and dialed Zhong Zhe's cell phone. The ring rang for a long time, but no one answered.

The inner intuition is comparable to an alarm, which instantly rises to the highest level and screams.

Cheng Ling immediately turned on the device, turned on the satellite positioning, and looked for the tracking capsule Zhong Zhe swallowed.

His pupils constricted suddenly, and the screen was blank, nothing, nothing, and the satellite signal could not find Zhong Zhe at all.

Be calm, you must be calm, like an ice sheet over your mind.

The long-term training has given Cheng Ling a reaction that is different from ordinary people, and reason almost instantly extinguishes emotions and takes the lead.

Judging from the last call, Zhong Zhe had already boarded the train, so he could not disappear out of thin air, there should be something blocking the signal.

Unless, with a one in a thousand chance, he failed to board the train.

Thinking of this, Cheng Ling immediately began to look along the carriages. After searching all the ordinary carriages but found nothing, he entered the dining car connecting the ordinary carriages and the first-class carriages. On the ground near the edge of the bar, a Montblanc signature pen fell on the carpet within the gap.

Cheng Ling squatted down to pick it up. The body of the pen was the iconic black lacquer gold leaf. When he met Zhong Zhe for the first time in the suite, he used such a signature pen.

Pulling off the pen cap, the curlicue J on the gold nib comes into view. The initials of Jonathan perfectly match the initials on Zhong Zhe's sterling silver cufflinks.

Now, the person is sure to have boarded the train and something has happened.
