The tracking app loaded. A map appeared, showing a blinking dot that should have been Huo Wu's current location.
But surprisingly the dot was stationary. On the highway. About fifteen kilometers from the city center.
"Got him," Huo Qi said. "He's....."
And then the dot disappeared.
Huo Qi's blood ran cold. "Signal's been blocked."
"What?" Huo Ting Cheng leaned over, staring at the screen.
"The tracking signal has just been cut off. Someone disabled it or disrupted it somehow." Huo Qi was already trying to re-establish the connection, but the app kept timing out. "Last known location was on Highway 7, heading toward the outskirts."
"The outskirts," Huo Ting Cheng repeated, his mind racing. "What's out there?"
"Industrial zones, mostly. Abandoned factories. Some undeveloped government land..." Huo Qi's face went pale as realization hit. "Sir, there are also some... illegal establishments in that area. Underground operations."
