Chapter 955 A Desperate Gamble
"Don't... don't panic yet, wait a moment!" Huang Peishan, being the experienced intelligence officer he was, reacted quickly and said to Su Tianyu, "Wait for news from the other side."
The sudden change of events made Su Tianyu lose all interest in continuing the banquet, but he had to remain calm and not reveal any unusual emotions.
"Don't panic, there are too many people here," An Qiqi said softly, clenching her small fist. "The Huagong Hui needs to immediately investigate which part of the process went wrong."
Liu Hongxu walked over from the corridor and said in a low voice, "I've already notified Xiao Qiu. They will get off at the next stop and won't enter Man City. They'll split up!"
"Uncle, come here!"
"Okay!"
The two walked to the side, and An Qiqi whispered to Liu Hongxu, "Tell Xiao Qiu not to proactively contact anyone from the Huagong Hui, not even the units assisting with the evacuation. We don't need them. If necessary, have Number One find a way to arrange a place for them to stay."
"Okay, I'll handle it here," Liu Hongxu replied.
...
Li City Seaport Terminal.
Su Tianbei and the other twelve members of the General Bureau of Investigation had all passed through customs and officially entered the territory of the Second District.
Amid the bustling crowds of people leaving the port, Su Tianbei was the first to leave the inspection hall and walked onto the street outside.
"Snap!"
Standing on the side of the road, Su Tianbei lit a cigarette, held it in his left hand, and stood under a street lamp with two members, talking and laughing.
Around them, intelligence officers who weren't approaching were also watching. They could understand the coded message of Su Tianbei smoking, which was a signal for a normal rendezvous.
Under the street lamp, Su Tianbei didn't discuss the current situation with his team members, but instead chatted idly, as if they were normal passengers leaving the port and waiting for a car.
After a short while, a business car with a guesthouse pick-up sign stopped by the roadside, and the driver turned on the hazard lights.
Su Tianbei looked at the business car, and with a cigarette in his mouth, walked over with two team members.
"Swish!"
The driver lowered the car window: "From the Fifth District?"
"Yes, my name is Lu. Boss Wang booked a hotel for us," Su Tianbei said with a smile.
"Hello, hello!" The driver got out of the car and took Su Tianbei's luggage: "Come on, get in the car, I'll help you put it in!"
"Clang!"
Su Tianbei opened the door of the business car and sat in with his team members.
After a while, the driver returned to the car, turned his head and glanced around: "Continue picking up?"
In the dim business car, Su Tianbei squinted at the other person: "How many of you are there?"
"Two, and another car," the middle-aged man in charge of the Huagong Hui's pick-up replied without any hesitation.
"Did you bring weapons?" Su Tianbei asked.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "What's wrong?"
"Did you bring them?" Su Tianbei asked again, expressionless.
"Yes, two short ones, four long ones," the driver replied.
The two looked at each other, and Su Tianbei turned his head to look around: "Are they all here with you?"
"No, half of them are in the other car!"
"We've been exposed, give us the guns!" Su Tianbei said abruptly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the two team members next to Su Tianbei sat in their respective seats, staring intently at the driver. One of them even touched his ring.
"Exposed?!" The driver's face turned pale instantly, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Are they following you?"
"Give me the gun!" Su Tianbei made his third request for a gun.
"Damn it!" the driver cursed, reached under the steering wheel, pulled out a handgun, and handed it to the back with a concealed movement: "How many people are around?"
Su Tianbei took the gun, checked it carefully, and found that it was fully loaded, the gun was new, and there were no problems.
"Under the middle row of seats, there are two bags, the long ones are inside," the driver replied, his forehead covered in sweat.
Su Tianbei gave the team member a look, and one of them pulled out two long guns, placed them on his lap and checked them.
"No problem," the team member said, looking up.
Su Tianbei, clutching the gun, looked at the driver and said, "Don't panic, continue to pick up people according to the normal procedure."
"You suspect me?" The driver finally realized what was happening.
"It's okay now." Su Tianbei placed the gun on his lap: "Pick up people!"
...
The banquet venue in Bana City.
Su Tianyu, Huang Peishan, and An Qiqi went into the lounge together.
"Have you withdrawn your people over there?" Su Tianyu asked An Qiqi.
"Yes!"
"What about your people? What did they say?" Huang Peishan asked.
"They haven't replied yet." After Su Tianyu said this, he said unequivocally: "You have to add more people. If you don't add more people, my people will definitely be killed!"
Hearing this, Huang Peishan said almost without hesitation: "Okay, let my people add more!"
Next to them, An Qiqi's phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID, immediately walked aside, stood where Huang Peishan couldn't hear her, and pressed the answer button: "Hello?! Hurry up and help me figure out which part of the process went wrong! Are you sure? Okay, he doesn't know if the pick-up team is also in trouble?"
...
Fifth Division Headquarters, Man City.
Gwen sat on the sofa in his office, playing with a teacup in his hand, his eyes fixed on the Huagong Hui traitor kneeling on the ground.
"Tap tap!"
A burst of footsteps sounded, and the head of the action division walked in, leaned over to Gwen's ear and said, "Director, we've already caught up with them at the port. Two cars, fourteen people, have already set off! Are we going to close the net?!"
Gwen crossed his legs and hesitated slightly.
"Director, their rank is probably not low," the head of the action division added in a serious tone.
Gwen was a little conflicted in his heart, and he was also considering whether to arrest them now.
"Ding-a-ling!"
Just then, the phone placed next to the traitor rang.
Gwen slowly raised his head to look at the other person, and ordered succinctly, "Answer it, on speakerphone!"
The traitor nodded with a terrified expression, and immediately did as he was told, picked up the phone and pressed the connect button: "Hello?"
"The plan has changed temporarily. Except for the group at the port, the other two groups will enter the city on their own." A middle-aged man's voice rang out: "Prepare a place for them to stay and wait for them to contact you!"
"Understood!" the traitor nodded.
"Beep beep!"
The phone hung up.
Gwen looked at the traitor and asked very decisively: "Have they discovered something?"
...
In the business car.
Su Tianbei answered the phone and said directly: "The people picking us up should be fine."
"Have you gotten in the car?" Su Tianyu asked anxiously.
