Chapter 1 Chaos

At the wine reception, Chief Lin You of the Police Department hurriedly hung up the phone and was called to a private room on the second floor by Secretary-General Lu.

"What's the situation?" Secretary-General Lu asked with a serious face.

Chief Lin immediately replied, "The department received a call saying that the Holy Church was attacked by unidentified bandits, and about forty people were being held hostage. The bandits just made their demands, they want two hundred million in cash, to be delivered to the church within three hours."

"Have the identities of the bandits been confirmed?" Secretary-General Lu asked urgently.

"Not yet, but the department believes it may be the work of some extremist laborers," Chief Lin replied.

"Organize police forces to rescue them immediately!" Secretary-General Lu pointed at him and said, "You must finish the job before the incident gains influence. Also, be sure to pay attention to the safety of the hostages. All the white social elites go to that church. If there are casualties, that will be very troublesome."

"Okay, I'll go to the scene to take command immediately," Lin You nodded immediately.

"Quick, quick!" Secretary-General Lu waved his hand.

After the two finished communicating, Lin You strode away from the wine reception, while Secretary-General Lu was called into an empty lounge by the mayor of Dragon City.

…

The Longkou District Police Department was the first to respond. Sixty to seventy police officers took cars and rushed to the kidnapping site.

At the same time, the anti-terrorism force originally on duty around the Supervision Council was also urgently dispatched to the side of the church.

On more than a dozen surrounding streets, police sirens blared, and riot control vehicles and police cars sped past.

After leaving the wine reception, Lin You did not return to the Police Department at all, but took his own car and rushed towards the church.

In the car, Lin You held the phone and roared in a low voice, "Damn it, notify the special police team to take a helicopter to the scene! I'm telling you, the Supervision Council is holding a wine reception. If anyone screws up or tries to sabotage me at this time, I'll fire him for sure!"

"Understood, understood!" The deputy chief on duty replied urgently, "I'll be there soon too."

Inside the wine reception.

While communicating with friends, You Yifan suddenly received a call, "Hey, what's up?"

"Have you heard? Something happened at the Holy Church!"

"Ah?!" You Yifan took the phone and walked aside, "What happened?"

"More than forty people were kidnapped by unknown bandits, and they want two hundred million in cash." The person on the phone said in a low voice, "The Supervision Council just opened the wine reception today, and a kidnapping incident happened outside, and most of the hostages are white. This matter is probably not simple!"

You Yifan was stunned in place. Before he could reply, he saw the mayor of Dragon City on the second floor, as well as the high-ranking officials in his circle, all going downstairs with serious expressions and heading directly to the back door of the building.

"Yifan, I personally think you shouldn't attend this wine reception." The person on the phone whispered, "The upper echelons have disagreements on how to deal with the Sinaloa issue, and now this kidnapping has happened. It's hard to say what the future policies will be! Why don't you come back and avoid it first, and wait until things settle down."

You Yifan blinked, "You're right, I'll leave now."

"Okay, let's talk when you get back."

After the two ended the call, You Yifan looked up and shouted to Yu Mingyuan and Su Tianyu, "Come here!"

"What's wrong?" Yu Mingyuan came over with a wine glass.

"No more drinking, let's go." You Yifan hurriedly greeted, "I'll tell you in the car."

The two heard the sound and didn't ask any more questions. They put down their wine glasses and followed You Yifan out as soon as possible. At this time, many neutral merchants and social elites were also walking towards the courtyard in a hurry, obviously they had also heard the news.

On the street to the left of the Supervision Council, Zhao Weihu stood alone on the side of the road, with his hands in his pockets, a cigarette in his mouth, and nodded to a car not far away.

In a parking space on the side of the road, the battalion commander of the Chi Army Guard Battalion shouted into the walkie-talkie in the passenger seat of a dilapidated off-road vehicle, "Start the operation according to plan!"

As the order was issued, more than a dozen trucks and private vehicles within two or three kilometers around the Supervision Council drove towards the Supervision Council compound from different directions.

At the same time, on more than twenty surrounding streets, many ordinary-looking passers-by quickened their pace and ran towards the Supervision Council.

Due to the sudden occurrence of the church kidnapping case, most of the police and anti-terrorism forces patrolling around the Supervision Council had been transferred away at this moment, and only some police patrol points remained near the center of the venue.

About two minutes later, a cargo truck passed through the intersection and approached the Supervision Council compound.

On the edge of the street on the left, a police officer saw a truck covered with tarpaulin driving over and immediately waved to signal the other party to stop.

Inside the cab, four young men lowered their heads and put on bandit hats, and pulled out long guns from the sleeper.

"Pull over!" the police officer shouted.

"Swish!"

The car window lowered, and all four people poked their heads out with guns.

"Da da da...!"

Intense gunfire rang out without warning, and the three police officers who blocked the road were shot down on the spot.

"Buzz!"

The truck rushed through the checkpoint instantly. The remaining police officers on the side of the road immediately dispersed and shouted into the walkie-talkie as soon as possible, "Someone is rushing the checkpoint, they're shooting!"

Inside the Supervision Council compound, Su Tianyu, who was just about to get in the car, suddenly turned his head after hearing the gunshot, "AK! It's right next door!"

You Yifan was stunned for a moment, then immediately shouted, "Get in the damn car!"

Inside the alley of the building opposite the Supervision Council, three masked men ran out, pulled out automatic rifles from their canvas bags, and went directly to the street.

"Da da da...!"

The three men swept across the Supervision Council compound with guns, forcing many vehicles that were about to drive out to stop.

"Buzz!"

The truck rushed over from the side and stopped diagonally in the Supervision Council compound. The commander in the cab shouted into the walkie-talkie, "Get out of the car and control the compound."

"Swish!"

As soon as the voice fell, the tarpaulin of the truck was lifted, and more than thirty masked men, wearing combat uniforms, bulletproof vests, tactical bags hanging on their waists, carrying guns, portable grenade launchers, and RPG launchers, jumped off the truck compartment nimbly.

A man wearing a cartoon mask moved sideways, squatted down and set up an RPG, and pulled the trigger.

"Whoosh!"

A shell was fired, lighting up the hazy dark night above the Supervision Council compound.

"Boom!"

The explosion resounded, and a large hole was instantly blown open on the third floor of the main building.

Inside the off-road vehicle, the battalion commander of the guard battalion roared again, "All units, immediately change the communication equipment to encrypted frequencies. All personnel on the periphery, don't control the streets, enter the scene directly."

As the order was issued, someone suddenly took out a signal gun on three or four surrounding streets and pointed it at the sky.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Several flares rose into the air one after another, completely igniting Dragon City.

Zhao Weihu lowered his head and put on the Megatron mask, waved to the off-road vehicle, and strode towards the Supervision Council.

…

Inside the Supervision Council compound, before You Yifan, Gou Liuzi and others could rush out, they saw a large number of armed personnel rushing in from the main entrance.

Around them, dozens of people hid behind cars and kept roaring, "Damn it, who ate the mad dog pill? How dare they attack the Supervision Council?!"

"Someone come, where are the police officers around here?"

"Go back, you can't get out of the gate!"

"……!"

Shouts rang out one after another. The Supervision Council, whose power and status were above the municipal government, was completely plunged into chaos.
