Chapter 1 The Hanoi City Hospital

Hanoi City Hospital, inside a nearby alley.

Su Tianyu stood in the dim corner, a walkie-talkie in his right hand, waiting silently.

There was an ambush at the hospital. The six who went in were definitely done for. Most likely, those who were caught had already spilled everything they knew. But that didn't mean the Tai family and the officials would lower their guard. So Su Tianyu was waiting for news, to see if there was any movement around the hospital.

Time ticked by. Old Hei and the other professionals didn't urge Su Tianyu, nor did they smoke. They just stood quietly in their positions, looking around.

...

Hospital backyard.

Thirty-odd police officers, with the six captured suspects, had arrived at the motorcade. After a brief report, they took the prisoners and left the scene by car.

Main entrance.

You Yifan led a group of people quickly to the parking lot, ready to leave by car and head to the Tai family.

Outside the car.

You Chengcheng, still shaken, glanced at her older brother and leaned over to say, "I... I won't go to the Tai family. I'll get on the boat and go back."

No matter how strong-willed or cunning You Chengcheng was, she was still just a woman. She hadn't experienced a close-quarters gunfight before, let alone faced death. So she was terrified.

You Yifan glanced at his watch and asked from inside the car, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, just want to rest." You Chengcheng replied, "You guys go. I'll just go straight to the boat."

You Yifan thought for a moment, then turned to the Tai family's men and ordered, "Pull some of the outer perimeter guards and send my sister to the boat."

"Okay," the Tai family's men nodded.

"I probably won't be back until tomorrow. Rest on the island," You Yifan instructed his sister.

"Okay," You Chengcheng replied, turning to walk towards the nearby motorcade.

About a minute later, five cars left the hospital parking lot, heading straight for the Tai family, while three other cars headed for the port.

As soon as the motorcade departed, the head of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Police Department immediately shouted into the walkie-talkie at the command center, "Group One, follow 051B to the Tai family, escort them along the way! Group Two, follow 00745, escort it to the port. The person in the car is very important, protect them."

"Roger!"

"Roger!"

"…!"

As the orders were issued, a dozen police cars parked around the hospital simultaneously left their hiding places, split into two groups, and began escorting You Chengcheng and You Yifan.

These cars, and the plainclothes police officers inside, were responsible for the outer perimeter of the hospital. They were afraid that there would be a large number of attackers targeting You Yifan, and that if a shootout occurred, the police wouldn't be able to control the situation with insufficient manpower. So they had blocked all the main roads and complex intersections around the hospital in advance.

If You Yifan was willing to use himself as bait, he certainly wouldn't make a plan that was doomed to fail. He valued his life. It was just that the main members of the Gui family and Yu Mingyuan's team hadn't come today, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to escape either.

After the two motorcades slowly departed, Hanoi Hospital became quiet, with only a dozen police officers communicating with the hospital to deal with the aftermath.

...

Inside the alley.

"You Yifan and the others have left, split into two groups, one going to the Tai family, one going to the port," came a voice from the walkie-talkie.

Su Tianyu paused slightly. "Who's going to the port?"

"You Chengcheng," the other party replied.

Su Tianyu frowned. "Why did they split up?"

"I don't know. I'm on the second floor of the outpatient building, I can only see their actions, but I can't hear their conversation." The man on the walkie-talkie was a mole arranged by Gui Mengjun in the hospital. "I just saw You Chengcheng leave alone."

"What about the hospital's outer perimeter? Any feedback?" Su Tianyu asked again.

"Yes, I can see two or three private cars following You Chengcheng to the port," the other party immediately replied, "You Yifan has a lot of people, five cars left with him, and there are definitely cars escorting him in secret."

Su Tianyu's brain worked rapidly, analyzing the information given by the other party.

You Yifan was much more cunning than Su Tianyu thought. Gunshots rang out at the hospital, but he didn't immediately order the police to rush into the hospital to arrest people. This reaction was very steady.

It wasn't until You Yifan himself was about to leave that the police secretly followed him, escorting him to the Tai family. In this way, it was difficult for Su Tianyu to discern how many people were around You Yifan, because after all, Gui's family's mole couldn't identify all the cars on the outer perimeter at once. Even a god couldn't do that.

After thinking carefully for a few seconds, Su Tianyu immediately turned around and shouted, "Old Hei, change the plan, don't mess with You Yifan, there's not much of a chance."

Old Hei got up. "Then what do we do?"

"You Yifan is more cautious than I thought. Change the target, go get the car." As Su Tianyu walked, he shouted into the walkie-talkie, "Change the plan, I'm not going after You Yifan. Also, make sure you keep the opening I told Pao Ge to leave, otherwise the other party won't be able to keep up later."

"Okay, I'll tell Pao Ge," the other party immediately responded.

...

Ten minutes later, on the road to the port.

You Chengcheng sat in the car, her left hand supporting her chin, urging softly, "Drive faster, I feel a little nauseous."

"Okay," the driver immediately nodded.

You Chengcheng turned sideways, rested her head on the car window, and slowly closed her eyes, wanting to rest for a while.

"Screech!"

Suddenly, a car rushed out from the intersection on the left, stopping diagonally in the middle of the road.

The car window lowered, and Old Hei, holding an automatic rifle, fired three bursts at the lead car of the motorcade.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

After the gunshots, the other motorcade quickly stopped. A police officer in the police car at the rear immediately shouted into the walkie-talkie, "Attention, attention, 00745 is under fire, immediately move closer to me!"

Three seconds later, all the police cars following behind rushed up, while You Chengcheng, sitting in the car, shouted in panic, "What's going on? Let's go, let's go!"

"Whoosh!"

On the side of the road, Su Tianyu, his face covered with a triangular scarf, a single-shoulder bag slung across his body, and a Remington shotgun in his hands, walked while racking the slide, "All the police cars are revealed, they don't have many people. Smoke grenades, no bullet wasted, quick!"

"Boom, rumble!"

One of Old Hei's brothers used a gun-mounted grenade launcher to shatter the tire of You Chengcheng's car.

The others, following the direction the motorcade stopped, threw more than a dozen smoke grenades directly.

As the smoke rose, Su Tianyu began to exert his strength, striding towards the scene of the gunfight, while shouting to Old Hei, "Get the person first, then leave the opening!"

"Screech!"

Old Hei quickly reversed the car, angrily cursing, "There are six cars on the other side, and you're telling me there aren't many people?! I'm really screwed...!"
