Chapter 1 The First Floor Corridor

Jing Yan and Gu Baishun were being held by eight Chi-Army soldiers and led towards the stairwell leading to the second floor.

"...What do they want us for?" Gu Baishun reached out and wiped the sweat from his temples, asking Jing Yan with a trembling voice.

"I'm not sure either." Jing Yan's face was also unsightly, but he didn't appear too flustered.

"Don't talk!" A Chi-Army soldier reprimanded, stepping forward to stand between them and separate them.

Gu Baishun and Jing Yan exchanged a glance, both feeling uncertain as they followed the eight men to the second floor.

Around the corner of the corridor, Zhu Bajie was smoking a cigarette, leaning against the wall with a languid posture.

When they reached the second floor, Jing Yan saw that Zhu Bajie wasn't wearing a mask, and his heart immediately sank.

"The people are here, Number One!" a soldier reported to Zhu Bajie.

Zhu Bajie took a puff of his cigarette, said nothing, and simply waved his hand.

"Against the wall, kneel down!" a soldier shouted at Jing Yan, pointing his gun at him.

Looking at the other man's expression, Jing Yan immediately raised his hands and shouted, "Brothers, is there some misunderstanding?! We have no grudges!"

"Shua!"

Three soldiers didn't waste any words and directly raised their arms!

It's over. The moment the three soldiers raised their arms, Jing Yan realized that they weren't planning to negotiate. They had brought them up here to kill them.

In this situation, whether you were a powerful figure with connections or an impoverished member of the underclass, the fear you felt at that moment was impossible to hide.

Jing Yan definitely didn't want to die. Cold sweat streamed down his face as he shouted, "Don't shoot! We can talk!! Do you want money? I have money! Do you want supplies? I can give you supplies!! Make a call, and I can use a helicopter to allocate them to you!"

At the same time, Gu Baishun, who was usually timid and cowardly, was surprisingly calm at this moment. He roared, "We're useful! We can help you evacuate! Don't kill us!"

Three dark gun muzzles were aimed at the two of them. Seeing that Zhu Bajie didn't react to their words, one of the soldiers pulled the trigger!

"Da da da!"

Three shots rang out in quick succession, and Gu Baishun's right hand spurted blood! The moment the soldier pulled the trigger, he had actually chosen to use his hand to raise the gun barrel!

Could the speed of raising his arm be faster than the speed of the gunshot?

Obviously not. The moment Gu Baishun raised his arm, the bullet shattered his forearm and two fingers!

Blood gushed out. Gu Baishun pressed down on the gun muzzle and roared again, "There are people everywhere outside! Garrison troops, the police, the navy, anti-terrorism forces, they're all here!! You can't get out! We can be insiders and help you escape!!"

"That's right! You know the relationship between our code worker association and the higher-ups!! Many people don't want me to die! I can help you!" Jing Yan followed Gu Baishun's train of thought and roared.

The Chi-Army soldiers didn't move when they heard these words.

Zhu Bajie threw away his cigarette butt, took out a pistol, and aimed it directly at Jing Yan.

"Don't shoot!!" Jing Yan shouted.

"Bang!"

The gunshot echoed in the silent corridor!

...

The rear of the courtyard, time to attack!

The special operations team's captain glanced at his watch and immediately gave the order: "SWAT Team One, Team Two, move out! Sniper positions, provide suppressive fire! Assault team, prepare!!"

As the order was issued, ten SWAT officers in the rear of the regulatory committee's courtyard wall bent over, leaning against the wall.

"Swoosh, swoosh!"

Another ten people stepped on their backs, immediately lay on the top of the wall, and set up their guns!

In the rear courtyard, soldiers were on alert at the Chi-Army's defense positions!

"Bang bang bang...!"

Rapid gunshots rang out, and six Chi-Army soldiers, caught off guard, were instantly headshot and killed!

Almost simultaneously, from more than a dozen high points around the regulatory committee, large sniper rifles aimed at the rear courtyard and fired together!

Gunshots rang out chaotically. The Chi-Army personnel holding their positions in the rear courtyard were surrounded on three sides, and the tactic of opening fire simultaneously resulted in nearly half of them being killed within two seconds!

"Boom!!"

A loud explosion echoed in the courtyard. The assault team blew open the iron gate in the rear courtyard, holding telescopic riot shields and silenced automatic rifles, and scattered as they rushed into the courtyard.

"Rear courtyard, main entrance controlled!"

"Rear courtyard, outer perimeter entry points controlled!"

"...!"

Reports rang out one after another. The SWAT captain looked at the monitor screen in the command vehicle and immediately shouted, "Helicopter, prepare to drop down to the third floor and enter the enemy command post!"

"Roger!"

The helicopter waiting on the periphery instantly flew low towards the main building of the reception, and several snipers on the plane also aimed their guns at the room on the left side of the third floor.

Everything was going smoothly, and the pace of the attack was developing entirely according to the special operations team captain's deployment!

But at this critical moment, three Chi-Army soldiers suddenly rushed out from behind, taking Su Tianyu hostage and exposing him to the two SWAT teams' lines of fire!

Outside the courtyard, the captain of SWAT Team One was about to order an attack when he saw Su Tianyu's figure and was immediately stunned. He shouted, "Wait, don't go in!"

Inside the command vehicle, the special operations team captain also saw Su Tianyu through the drone and immediately stood up with a rustle!

"You don't want to talk?! Huh?!?"

The Chi-Army soldier holding Su Tianyu hostage pointed his gun downwards and roared hysterically, "You don't want the hostage?!"

"Attention all departments, don't move!" The special operations team captain shouted wildly, "They've been discovered!"

"Kang!!"

The Chi-Army soldier fired a shot at Su Tianyu's right leg without hesitation, causing his blood to splatter!

"Gudong!"

Su Tianyu's body unconsciously sagged, but his left hand grabbed the Chi-Army soldier's arm, preventing himself from collapsing!

"Don't come over! Don't come over, they want to kill me!" Su Tianyu shouted, his voice breaking.

Inside the command vehicle, the special operations team captain looked at Su Tianyu's expression and slammed the headset onto the console with a bang: "Damn it!! He was exposed in advance, the plan has failed!"

Inside the third floor.

Zhao Wei Hu, wearing a mask, directly pushed open the window and shouted into the walkie-talkie, "Drive those white people to the rear courtyard!!"

As the order was issued, more than a dozen Chi-Army personnel pushed six white hostages out of the building!

"Hua la!"

Zhao Wei Hu chambered a round in his automatic rifle, hid in the shooting blind spot of the third-floor helicopter, and decisively pulled the trigger!

"Bang, bang bang bang!"

Several gunshots rang out, and the hostages who had been pushed out fell one after another.

After firing, Zhao Wei Hu stood in the room and shouted, "Tell Li Mingsheng! If he wants to play, I'll play with him!! I make a living with my head on my shoulders, I wouldn't be here if I was afraid of death!"

The plan was exposed prematurely, and the helicopter had to retreat!

Ten seconds later, in the combat command center, Li Mingsheng asked in a sharp voice, "Did that Su guy deliberately leak the rescue plan?!"

"I... it's hard to say! The information he gave before was all correct, and he even rescued Secretary-General Lu!" The special operations team captain frowned and replied, "The Chi-Army shot him in front of the assault team just now! The purpose was to warn him... He may have been exposed after being discovered!"
