Chapter 966 Internal Strife, External Conflict, Two-Pronged War

"Boom! Boom!"

Two white men stumbled out of the building entrance in a disheveled state, covered in blast wounds, their faces blackened and clothes stained with blood.

Behind them, a black man dragged another man, retreating with injuries all over his body. The colleague he was dragging had his right leg blown off at the knee, blood spurting out.

"Come over here, get us out of here!" One of the white men stood up and roared at a car not far away, while the other pulled out a walkie-talkie.

"Calling headquarters, Wu Taiyong has betrayed us! We're under attack!"

"Calling headquarters, requesting backup!"

The Fifth Bureau's surveillance vehicles immediately started, reversing towards them. At that moment, Qiu Ge, wielding a Remington shotgun, emerged from a nearby alley.

Alone with his gun, he ran in a crouch, his figure casting a long shadow on the ground.

"Whoosh!"

"Bang!"

Qiu Ge came to a sudden stop, raised the gun with both arms, and decisively fired at the car that had just started, instantly blasting the driver's upper body apart.

"Screech!"

"Screech!"

At the same time, two SUVs screeched to a halt in front of the apartment building. The people inside lowered the windows and pointed four automatic rifle barrels outward.

"Da-da-da...!"

Intense gunfire echoed, and the air around the apartment entrance instantly filled with blood mist. Four agents from the Fifth Bureau, before they could even react, were riddled with bullets.

Hearing the gunfire outside, Wu Taiyong didn't rush out. Instead, he hid at the corner of the staircase and shouted, "Password!"

"The rising sun ascends from the east!" Qiu Ge replied, working the action of his shotgun.

"That's it, I am the damn rising sun." Wu Taiyong grabbed the handsome young man and rushed downstairs. "Let's go, let's go!"

Although Wu Taiyong looked effeminate, he was incredibly fierce when things got serious.

The two quickly went downstairs and immediately got into Qiu Ge's car.

"Let's go, to the second target location," Qiu Ge said, bending down to get into the car.

...

Fifth Bureau Headquarters Conference Room.

Gwen held the walkie-talkie, his face dark, and roared, "Teams 1 and 2, move quickly to the shooting location at the port and control the tourists. Notify the port's coast guard units, special operations units, and immediately block all outer exits. Don't let Su Tianbei get away!"

With things developing to this point, even an idiot could see that the Victoria Railway Station and the 705 highway intersection were deliberately false messages. Only the Li City port was real, but not to pick someone up, but to rescue Su Tianbei.

In other words, Mai You's traitorous identity had long been exposed. The other party deliberately passed on messages through Mai You in order to lure away his limited manpower.

How were they discovered?

Gwen couldn't figure it out. He felt he had been very careful!

"Director, Wu Taiyong has betrayed us, and our people have been attacked!" A member of the monitoring team ran over to report.

Gwen was stunned, his brain racing.

Wu Taiyong has a problem?

That... that's not right!

Thinking of this, Gwen suddenly turned around and roared, "Immediately assemble the security team! Their first target is not to rescue Su Tianbei! Quick, we're going to Wu Boxin's place, or he'll be finished!"

"Yes!"

A group of agents responded immediately upon hearing the order. Their division of labor was very clear, with one person specifically left behind to spread the news, while the others grabbed their weapons.

Downstairs, sirens blared, and the security team moved upstairs to meet Gwen.

...

The hallway outside the Fifth Bureau Headquarters Conference Room.

Li Xinghai sat on a long chair smoking, the ground covered with cigarette butts.

"Captain, how long do we have to wait?" Next to him, a team member asked softly.

Li Xinghai glanced sharply at the other person, who turned his head away with a helpless expression, sighing irritably.

Just then, Gwen happened to lead his people out of the conference room.

Hearing the movement, Li Xinghai immediately put out his cigarette, stood up, and greeted him: "Director Gwen, this is the Central Bureau's approval for the transfer. Look, should we do the handover?"

Gwen paused when he saw Li Xinghai, then immediately waved his hand and replied, "I have urgent matters to deal with right now. We'll talk about Liu Cong's issue later."

"Director Gwen, I'm just running errands for the higher-ups, please... please don't delay me," Li Xinghai said patiently. "I've already got the approval, dragging this out isn't going to be good for anyone."

Gwen was anxious and angry: "What's good about it?! You know that we are responsible for the establishment of the Hua Lian Chamber of Commerce, but you secretly developed Liu Cong without telling us. Now that something has happened, you want to take him away. Are you all just thinking about yourselves? I'll say it again, get out of my way!"

Li Xinghai immediately reached out to stop him: "Director Gwen, that's not how things work. We are taking people according to procedures...!"

"Get out of the way!" Gwen directly brushed Li Xinghai's wrist aside and stepped forward.

"Director Gwen, what do you want to do? Are you trying to destroy our bureau over such a small matter?" Li Xinghai became angry and blocked Gwen again.

"Slap!"

Gwen, with bloodshot eyes, raised his hand and slapped Li Xinghai across the face: "Did you not understand me when I told you to get lost?!"

"Clatter!"

All the Fifth Bureau agents raised their guns, pointing them at Li Xinghai.

"Open your eyes and look clearly, this is the Fifth Bureau of the Central Bureau, not your Qingyi Bureau! Don't think that just because you're a little squad leader, even if Kang Dinghuang came in person, I said I won't let him go, and I won't let him go! Do you understand?!" Gwen pointed at the ground and roared, pushing Li Xinghai away and walking downstairs.

Li Xinghai's cheek was swollen, and he watched Gwen's back with a gloomy look, gritting his teeth and whispering, "Call the bureau and notify the director. Gwen is clearly not letting him go."

In the corridor, Gwen walked forward, pointing to the people next to him and instructing: "Immediately call the people at Wu Boxin's villa and tell them not to act rashly for now. Once gunfire is heard outside, immediately hold their position and wait for support."

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded.

...

Li City Port.

Gunfire continued to ring out, and the disembarking tourists scattered and fled.

In the outer command vehicle, a black man shouted in a rapid voice: "Teams Two and Three, move in the direction where Su Tianbei disappeared. Team One, Special Operations Team, advance from the front, control the people on the scene, don't let them run around, you can fire warning shots if necessary!"

As the order was issued, the outer personnel all moved, converging towards the central location.

"Da-da-da...!"

A dozen special operations team members got out of the vans, raising their guns and firing into the sky.

"Crouch down!"

"Crouch down now, or we'll open fire!"

"...!"

The scattered tourists, seeing the people in uniforms arrive and shout in English while firing their guns, naturally did not dare to resist. They all ran to the sheltered areas on both sides of the road, holding their heads and crouching down.

"Advance!"

"Advance!"

A large number of personnel rushed to the side where Su Tianbei had disappeared.

Inside an alley, Su Tianbei swallowed and was helped onto the wall: "Quick, have Changqing's people move closer to my side, call the higher-ups and tell them to send reinforcements quickly, or we won't be able to hold on...!"
