Chapter 178: Life on the Line 2
In the pitch-black night, several indistinct shadows crawled forward, suddenly startling a squirrel perched in the treetops. It leaped in fright and darted into a tree hole, while an unknown owl was also disturbed, flapping its wings and taking off clumsily. The group of figures halted instantly.
“Zero, Zero, this is Six. I have reached the attack position. Where are you?” A shadow called out from the bushes.
“I see you. Ten o'clock, fifteen meters.” The silent Zero finally responded through the radio.
With directions clarified, the group quickly advanced. Six of them merged with Aeming, unpacked their gear, and equipped themselves. Aeming casually asked, “Which part are you from?”
“Jining SWAT... Has the target appeared?” the other party inquired.
“Almost. The beacon light is on; surveillance reports indicate they are still ten kilometers away,” Aeming replied.
“How many people?” came the next question.
“Unclear, but at least five,” Aeming answered.
“What about weapons?” the other party pressed.
“Not sure, but they might be armed,” Aeming said.
“I have to say, Detective, your reconnaissance skills are impressive—what do you know?” The other party sounded frustrated.
“If I knew everything, you wouldn’t get any credit for this. I’d take them all down myself... SWAT brothers, if you catch them this time, you’ll be promoted to party membership,” Aeming joked. The others chuckled lightly as the team leader added, “Don’t joke around with me. Our orders are to raid and capture. You’ll follow behind us.”
"No, I have a brother in there. I promised him I would pick him up myself... Don't push me; I am an instructor from the Anhui Provincial Criminal Police Team, and my training subjects are no less than yours," Aeming said.
"Alright, more people means more strength... Hey, stay concealed," the other replied.
A row of heads slowly ducked down.
At that moment, they heard Xu Jian's voice from A Group; the connection was established...
...
"Our direction is to bypass the natural villages of Jiuli, Duohuo, and Liyi, launching a surprise attack from the north and south towards the target area. Along the way, Seven Sages, Nishimura, and Zhou Village will serve as our second line of defense. At the same time, we will initiate an assault. Aside from the Thunder teams, other supporting Police Forces will act as outer perimeter... three tiers to prevent any vulnerabilities on their part. Technical Investigation, where is the Tank now?" Lin Qizhao asked.
"Just passed through Seven Sages Administrative Village; we are still five kilometers away from the target area," a Technical Investigator reported.
Lin Qizhao glanced around at several worried Commanders and introduced a new map: "The simultaneous action plan also includes Anyang, Taizhou, and Suzhou and Hangzhou. The only issue now is that Sun Dazheng from Taizhou may have direct connections to this case, while we have yet to gather any criminal evidence against Gexi from Suzhou and Hangzhou."
"If we can't arrest him, then we should summon him. How is San Shui's preparation going?" Inspector A asked.
"There’s no risk here; we can act at any time," Lin Qizhao replied.
"Good... After nurturing troops for a thousand days, it's time to use them. The moment for the final battle has arrived," Inspector B said excitedly, gesturing for Lin Qizhao to issue the command.
Standing at the command platform and facing the dazzling large screen, Lin Qizhao took a deep breath to calm his emotions and spoke in a low yet resonant voice: "Attention Thunder teams, I am now issuing an operational order. The target is two hazardous material Tank trucks that are about to enter your monitored area. The plan is for Teams 2 and 4 to encircle from the sides and enter through the north wall; Zero Team and Team 3 will break through directly. Be aware that the opponents may be armed; all Action Teams must prioritize safety..."
He paused for a moment and reminded them, "One thing to note, we have a comrade in the enemy's den. Photos will be sent to your action device to ensure his safety... I want to emphasize again, we have a comrade still in the enemy's den, and we must protect his safety..."
When Lin Qizhao finished speaking, his gaze lingered for a moment. The time was already 10:50 PM, three hours past the point of discovery. What had happened in that den was unknown, but he was certain it was something he did not wish to think about.
Time passed second by second in an environment so quiet that even the drop of a pin could be heard clearly. Even from thousands of miles away, one could sense the chilling atmosphere before the impending battle.
At 10:55 PM, a blinding light flashed across the screen as two ghostly tanks drove past the observation point.
They had come; they finally arrived.
...
...
The vehicles had arrived.
Wang Lishong and Xu Tonglei returned to the workshop. Under the dim lights, several technicians dared not look directly at them, leaning against stacks of packaging. In a corner within sight, Xiao Mu, who had followed Xu Tonglei all the way, lay quietly on the filthy ground, blood oozing from his mouth and nose. His face pressed against the floor as he helplessly shielded his head with his hands. The exhausted dog occasionally stomped on him hard.
"The vehicles are here," Xu Tonglei said.
The dog stopped and muttered resentfully, "Damn it, this guy's still tough."
Xu Tonglei looked at Xiao Mu's miserable state and felt a twinge of pity. Uncertainly, he asked, "Dog... what about this person?"
"He's been seen before; we’re keeping him around to wait for an opportunity to stab you," the dog replied.
"But at this time..." Xu Tonglei murmured, looking at the current situation, maybe he is paranoid, and he is a profiteer. Even selling Counterfeit Money is also a business, but he has never decided the life or death of others, then The pitiful eyes inevitably contained the sympathy of a rabbit dying and a fox pitiful. "If you want to die, just leave him alone...Open the door and pull the acetylene over here." Gouzi said fiercely. The tall and strong Wang Lishong was just suitable for this job. He shouldered the half-man tall bottle with his big arms and stood up. . When Gouzi got up and left, he stamped Xiao Mu's feet bitterly. Seeing this scene, his doubts were mostly gone, and something would have happened long ago. Those who are ready, those who open the door, and those who are ready to load goods are all in their places. The roaring sound of the car is slowly approaching. Two Tank cars more than ten meters long are driving in reverse. The dogs under the car are directing them, head to head and tail to tail. Finally, he fell straight to the door of the workshop. The igniter Wang Lishong was already in place. With a bang of the small hammer, Oxyacetylene Welding slowly drew a smooth line on the steel tank. Danglang... it fell down, empty. "Two go in, be quick with your hands and feet." He shouted, and the two workers got in. Some moved, some picked up, and some coded. The car started quickly, and the other tank also started cutting. "Where are the people, Gouzi? Damn, I was shocked." The person who jumped out of the car asked, there were four people in two cars. A smell of rancidity and smoke hit his face, the standard smell of Long-Distance Driver. Gouzi pointed inside and said: "Is it a mistake? I beat him for a long time and didn't say anything, Pimping Selling money to lead fat sheep, Menqing also did Pyramid Scheme, right? " "It's just a mistake. If I keep it, you still want to sleep peacefully," the other party said. "You do it?" Gouzi said. "Everyone who works today will be stabbed and shouldered by everything. No one can take it easy." The visitor said fiercely. According to the rules of Underworld, Black Money will be divided in half when meeting, and if there is any black matter, everyone will do it together. stall. Gouzi seemed to be used to this, and said with a smile: "Youngest, you have been running in the sea for several years, but you are very good at it." "Sea But it is much darker here, and you can't even find a hair in the sea. "This person took out his weapon, carefully opened Insurance, and followed the dog in.
Xiao Mu's eyelids twitched as he looked up to see a scheming round face. From the other person's gaze, he sensed a hint of sympathy, but just as he felt a glimmer of hope, it was quickly extinguished. Xu Tonglei pursed his lips and stood up, withdrawing the last shred of compassion.
Indeed, that little bit of conscience was far too light compared to the pile of cash before him.
He bent forward and greeted the two with a smile, saying, "Well... Dogzi, you’re in charge. Although I brought him here, I guarantee he hasn’t leaked a word; he hasn’t even stepped outside. Dogzi can vouch for that; otherwise, we would have been in trouble long ago."
The man glanced at Dogzi, who nodded. Then he slowly crouched down, gun in hand, and tapped Xiao Mu on the head, asking, "Kid, there are still a few minutes before we unload. Leave a last word."
"Big brother, it really wasn’t me," Xiao Mu said with great difficulty.
This statement made Maozi feel upset. He lamented, "Can you at least be a bit creative? Even when facing death, you’re still so damn boring."
"Alright, I actually do have something," Xiao Mu struggled to sit up.
Oh? He hadn’t said a word for so long. Dogzi pulled him upright forcefully while Maozi looked on curiously, "Hmm? This is getting interesting. Who exactly are you?"
"It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is that I’m not the one leaking information. Big brother, I ended up here out of desperation. Do you know Coastal Game Champion? That’s my older brother. Do you know Dongjiang’s Niezi Nieqifeng? He used to be my brother too. Both were killed, and that’s how I ended up in this situation. You can say whatever you want about me, but don’t slander me as a snitch," Xiao Mu declared angrily, wiping away a streak of blood from the corner of his mouth. Though weak and unarmed, his words carried significant weight and made the two men suspicious.
Inside, Xiao Mu was anxious: Damn it, why aren’t they making a move?
After some discussion between them, Dogzi asked back, "Are you kidding? Who are you trying to scare by bringing up two executed men?"
"But I also know that among you there’s an insider," Xiao Mu blurted out desperately.
Sure enough, the two were startled into alertness. Maozi grabbed Xiao Mu and demanded, "Who?"
"He's over there," Xiao Mu pointed, busy moving Counterfeit Money with Xu Tonglei.
"Heh heh, brother, you've got it wrong. He's a distant relative of our boss," Gouzi laughed.
"You’re celebrating too early. If there’s a leak, the least likely person to be involved is... just check him and the monk. They both have cash tied around their waists, and they might even be hiding gold bars..." Xiao Mu said, hoping to buy some time. There was no way they didn’t have hidden money, but Xiao Mu twisted the narrative: "Do you know where this money comes from? They pulled a whole truckload of goods printed in Anyang and sold them privately. They almost got caught by the police in Anyang... They sold everything off in six cities over two days. With so many surveillance cameras around, even a bunch of pigs would know to sniff them out... Believe it or not, I think they’re already being watched."
This alarmist talk frightened Maozi and Gouzi. Selling a bit of private goods wasn’t a big deal, but pulling a whole truckload and almost getting caught by the police was serious trouble. Moreover, no one knew about this; both were already on edge, and Xiao Mu's words made them even more anxious. Maozi asked, "You’re not just biting people out of desperation, are you?"
"The problem lies with them. They have money, valuable items, and phones—who knows what else... What do I have? It’ll be clear as day once they check me. The police might be on their way right now because of their slip-up," Xiao Mu pointed at Xu Tonglei and Wang Lishong.
The two exchanged glances, and Maozi waved his hand, saying, "Landmine, come here."
Xu Tonglei hurried over. When he was signaled to squat down, Gouzi reached for his waist. He tensed up, and Maozi pressed the gun against his temple, sternly saying, "Don’t move."
"Huh? What’s going on... we’re all brothers here," Xu Tonglei stammered in fear.
Gouzi was quick; he pulled out a chain of coins from Xu Tonglei's waist. After checking it thoroughly, he found quite a stash: two watches, four small yellow fish figurines, and a stack of cards. He tossed them onto the table in front of him. Xu Tonglei's face turned pale as he nervously said, "Brothers should talk things out; I’ll split this money with you."
"Looks like you’ve made quite a haul... Why the hell didn’t you inform us before selling private goods?" Maozi was furious.
"You bastard! You actually set me up!" Xu Tonglei glared at Xiao Mu.
"See? Big brother, it’s him! He panicked as soon as we uncovered the truth," Xiao Mu said.
"Shut your mouth!" Xu Tonglei swung a punch at Xiao Mu, who fell to the ground in response. Gouzi grabbed Xu Tonglei and shouted, "Don’t show your teeth! If you’re in trouble today, we’ll take you down with him."
"Why do I have a problem? When I did this business, you haven't seen how to play it." Xu Tonglei was angry. "What about the monk? AnyangIf I hadn't said anything, all that car Counterfeit Money would have been handed over to the police. I don't believe it. He couldn't recognize it was the police." Xiao Mu said softly. "Impossible, this guy is so slanderous." Xu Tonglei said. Maozi was angry, poking Xu Tonglei with his gun, and asked with a ferocious expression: "You sold a car of private goods?" "Fuck you, I have to kill you for this matter... Do you dislike us? You want to live a long life and want to be tied up?" Gouzi was angry, this is a serious violation of the organization's Discipline. Xu Tonglei started to rely on his old age, and he raised his head and neck, and said to Maozi: "Come on, it's great to have a gun, shoot me... you don't even have your head on your trousers." , who’s trying to scare whom? What’s the point of just selling it? I’m working with my head on my shoulder, and I don’t want to make extra money... I’ll give you half of it and go your own way, don’t be so fucking stupid, isn’t it?” As expected of Lao Jianghu, it directly hit the Weakness of the two of them. The two of them looked at the piles of real banknotes and four shiny gold bars on the ground, and their eyes moved. Yes, who wouldn't do this for two dollars? As for life or death? At this time, Xiao Mu slowly stood up and said: "... Brother Lei, it will be too late when something happens. I have reminded you more than once that what you did was too dangerous. Anyang was almost killed Please keep me here, Xiaogan You and the monk have been hanging around in the dark for three days. If you really want to be targeted, it will be too late to regret... You are too careless, you are all too careless, how can you ship goods at night? Yes, it has to be during the day, and it has to be swaggering so that no one will be suspicious... There is someone ambushing you at this night, and you can't see it... I can guarantee that it's either Lao Xu or the monk. There must be someone there. I'm being targeted...Run away, Brothers, the police are coming, I never lie, why don't you believe me at all?" Xiao Mu persuaded me earnestly, and he suddenly felt it, Telling the truth now is like a big lie. The more honest you are, the less likely anyone will believe you. These easy-to-get wealth have already made people jealous. Pa Gouzi slapped Xiao Mu and knocked him down. Maozi He put down the gun angrily and looked at him in confusion. He was deceived so much that he was filled with doubts. He didn’t know what to believe anymore. It’s better to believe in money. He took away two gold bars unceremoniously and said: “Hush money, it’s okay.” Just pretend you didn't see it. ""What the hell?" Xu Tonglei said angrily, and as soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of gunfire outside. "Ah? What's going on?" Xu Tonglei was frightened and turned his head.
"Monk, monk, there's something wrong. Someone outside must be sending a signal, otherwise we wouldn't have found this place," Xiao Mu said from behind.
"Damn it," Dogzi fumed, pulling out his gun and firing a shot at Monk Wang Lishong, who immediately dove under the car in fright. Maozi was also enraged; he rushed to the door and saw shadows moving along the courtyard wall. Without hesitation, he fired a shot, but bullets came flying back at him in an instant. He ducked his head, too scared to stick it out.
Xu Tonglei got up and ran outside, but he was on all fours, heading toward the back door. Just as he reached the entrance, Xiao Mu shouted, "Big brother, Old Xu is a traitor! Look, he's trying to escape!"
Gunfire erupted. Dogzi and Maozi glanced at Xu Tonglei crawling away and instinctively fired two shots. Xu Tonglei covered his head and yelled, "It's not me! It's not me... Let's run!"
He continued to flee when suddenly—bang!—a shot caught up with him. A scream echoed as Old Xu fell outside.
In an instant, gunfire erupted everywhere. Bullets rained down on the tank's body, sparking as they hit. Some technicians dove into the tank while others crouched beneath it. Surprisingly, several of the transport crew were armed and fired back with their handguns. However, under the overwhelming firepower of the ambush, they couldn't lift their heads. In no time, one by one they shrank back in fear, shouting for everyone to stay still.
The quickest to escape was ironically Xu Tonglei. He had been grazed by a bullet on his backside but gritted his teeth against the pain as he climbed over debris to scale the wall. Once on top, he looked out and was stunned; surrounding the factory were flashing red and blue police lights. He had no idea how many police cars were there or when they had managed to encircle the area so tightly.
"Oh no... I'm done for today... ah!"
Just as his lament fell from his lips, a scream pierced the air as someone from outside pulled him down, covering his mouth and slapping handcuffs on him. In terror, he saw black-clad figures moving like agile monkeys, stacking on top of each other as they swiftly climbed over the wall amidst a barrage of gunfire.
At that moment, it was 11:10 PM. Operations in Haoji, Anyang, Suzhou and Hangzhou, Taizhou, and San Shui commenced simultaneously...
