Chapter 278

The next day, around 5:30 in the evening.

Inside the Fifth Bureau headquarters' conference room, Gwen crossed his legs and looked at the traitor Mai You: "Su Tianbei is a big fish. Just follow him. The backup for the other two groups will be led by your men, and handled by my people."

"Understood!" Mai You nodded.

As he finished speaking, someone from the Telecommunications Department handed Mai You a sophisticated military intercom device: "The signal end is placed inside your clothes, and the microphone is sewn into the collar. Conventional monitoring equipment won't be able to detect it, but don't use it frequently to avoid arousing suspicion."

"Understood!" Mai You took it.

Gwen looked at the high-ranking officers in the room: "Is everyone ready?"

"Ready, Director!"

A dozen people saluted and shouted.

"Tonight, if all three groups show up, we'll launch the roundup operation!" Gwen stood up: "If this arrest is successful, each of you will be promoted at least one rank and receive a high action bonus!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded.

"Alright, send Mai You to Su Tianbei!" Gwen waved his hand.

...

Around 6:30 in the evening, as darkness descended, a dilapidated SUV parked in front of an apartment building.

Mai You got out of the car with two men and walked into the building.

After a short while, the three of them arrived upstairs and knocked on the door.

Su Tianbei looked at the two unfamiliar men beside Mai You: "Who are they...!"

"Brothers who provide weapons," Mai You briefly introduced the two men: "They are all veterans under my command and can be trusted."

"Okay, come in!" Su Tianbei beckoned.

The three entered the house and sat on the sofa. Mai You casually asked, "When will the other two groups arrive?"

"Hehe!" Su Tianbei smiled: "You're in charge of the pickup. If you don't know, how would I?"

"No, the higher-ups are acting strangely. They haven't notified me," Mai You asked, feigning nervousness. "Could something have happened?"

"I'm not sure, maybe the plan has been adjusted." Su Tianbei calmly took a sip of tea: "We'll leave at seven o'clock, first to get the guns, and then to pick up a group of people."

"Pick up more people?" Mai You asked, very surprised. "Your people?"

"Yes. The higher-ups heard that Gwen was going to send the Wu family and his son away, so they added twenty more people, who will arrive tonight." Su Tianbei looked at him: "I just received the news."

Mai You nodded: "That's fine, where are we picking them up?!"

"Still the port, the usual place!" Su Tianbei replied with a smile: "You'll need to prepare two more cars, or there won't be enough seats."

"Wouldn't that be a bit too much movement?" Mai You asked, "I don't have that many accommodations prepared here."

"They've arranged it themselves, we just need to bring them in. Alas, that's how operations are, plans can't keep up with changes." Su Tianbei glanced at his watch: "Get ready, let's go!"

"Okay!" Mai You replied.

...

Fifth Bureau Headquarters.

Gwen had been eavesdropping on Su Tianbei and Mai You's conversation through a relay communication terminal.

Inside the room, a group of Fifth Bureau executives were all looking at the map.

"Still Lishi Port. The terrain there isn't too complicated, but there's a lot of foot traffic. If we want to catch them all in one go, we need to increase manpower," a team leader from military intelligence said: "It's best to contact the Lishi police department and have them cooperate."

"No, I think that's too slow. By the time Lishi approves the assistance for the arrest, the other party may have already entered the port." Another person shook his head: "I suggest sending reinforcements from Manshi!"

After thinking for a long time, Gwen said: "Teams 1, 2, and 3, plus the extra military intelligence agents, plus the Manshi police special operations team, head to Lishi Port now!"

"What if they change locations midway?" Someone raised a question: "Then we...!"

"If they change locations, it means they no longer trust Mai You, and we'll directly arrest Su Tianbei." Gwen said very decisively.

"Yes!"

As he finished speaking, the originally standby teams 1, 2, and 3 contacted the local special operations team and headed to Lishi Port covertly.

Next to the operations blackboard, a military intelligence clerical worker wiped out the number indicating the total number of personnel and rewrote it as three hundred.

Gwen had mobilized as many as five hundred people for this operation, which exceeded the command authority of his bureau-level unit. The higher-ups had specially contacted Manshi to have them fully cooperate.

"Wait a little longer, it's almost here!" Gwen looked at the operations blackboard with some excitement.

...

7:30 PM.

On the way to Manshi, Su Tianbei sat next to Mai You and asked softly, "Brother, how long have you been a member of the Chinese Workers' Association?"

"Almost ten years," Mai You paused for a moment before replying.

"Then you're a veteran. Hehe, we all feel reassured working with someone like you." Su Tianbei grinned.

"Let's help each other out," Mai You nodded slowly.

Su Tianbei glanced at him and didn't say anything else.

"Ding-a-ling!"

A burst of phone ringtones echoed. Mai You looked down at his phone, reached out and pressed the answer button: "Hello?!"

"This is Huang Peishan. Have your men go to the Weiduo Train Station in Manshi and find a young man wearing a yellow shirt and a red hat. The password remains the same," Huang Peishan instructed.

"Understood, I'll arrange it immediately!"

"That's it!"

The two ended the call. Mai You turned his head to look at Su Tianbei and took the initiative to say, "They're here!"

"Where are they?" Su Tianbei asked with a smile.

"At Weiduo Train Station!" Mai You replied and immediately pretended to call his men.

...

At the same time.

Inside the Fifth Bureau's dormitory, Li Xinghai received the approval document from the higher-ups. After reading it carefully, he immediately stood up and said, "Let's go, let's find Gwen again!"

"The approval came?" Someone next to him asked.

"Yes!" Li Xinghai got up and cursed with a frown, "Let's get this done and leave quickly, I don't want to communicate with that bastard anymore!"

"Hehe!"

Everyone smiled, picked up their clothes, and walked out the door.

...

Fifth Bureau Headquarters.

Gwen put down the phone and shouted with a frown, "Quick, get me the map of Weiduo Train Station!"

"Yes!"

"Did they say how many people are coming?"

"No, they just said to make contact, but there should be quite a few."

"Quickly, everyone get moving!"

"...!"

The room instantly became busy.

...

Inside Weiduo Train Station, Qiu Ge stood in the middle of the crowd with his hands in his pockets, chewing gum, scanning his surroundings.

Next to him, the girl walked over and whispered, "I've made the call, the higher-ups told us to proceed as planned!"

"Confirmed news?" Qiu Ge asked.

"Yes!" The girl handed her phone to Qiu Ge: "It's here!!"

"Okay, organize the manpower!" Qiu Ge nodded slowly.
