Surrounding foreigners simply thought they were there to film a movie, since many Chinese people came to their location to shoot.
Behind a white jade column at the airport, a man in a black coat watched them drive away. He lowered his head to light a cigarette, the smoke dispersing in the wind.
Clamping the cigarette between his teeth, he sent a stealthily taken photo to the person on the other end of his phone: "Target located, please confirm."
The attached image was a profile picture of Ji Tian.
The reply came quickly: "That's her, capture her alive, don't hurt her, dead she's worthless."
The man squinted his eyes, tsk, this was a big deal; if he succeeded, he'd be set for life. But their group was too large, and now was not a good time to act.
