Chapter 132

It was a little after eight in the evening. Hou Guoyu, wearing a suit and a fake mustache glued to his face, sat in a coffee shop in a certain district of Ba City, watching the situation across the street.

"No movement at the main entrance!"

Hou Guoyu muttered, clutching his collar.

"Keep observing."

"Alright!" Hou Guoyu yawned and whispered, "Hopefully, we won't have to fight tonight. May everything go smoothly."

"It must be." Lao Hei replied, "Nothing else to say, justice will prevail!"

…

As the two were talking, Su Tianyu and his elder brother arrived in the vicinity of the district by car.

There were four people in the car: Su Tianyu, Su Tiannan, assistant Liu Tao, and the leader of the Huagong Association's action team in the Second District.

This action team leader was named Xu Bin. He was forty-three years old and considered one of the senior leaders in the Huagong Association's action department. People who knew him well called him Brother Bin.

Su Tianyu, sitting in the car and putting on gloves, said to Tiannan, "We'd better station some people along the way. As soon as two groups show up, we have to act. We can't hesitate."

"Yeah, I've arranged it," Su Tiannan nodded.

Listening to their conversation, Xu Bin said expressionlessly, "Is there a need to be so anxious? Even if two groups enter the field, we can observe further. Maybe Zhou Xian is well prepared too! It's best to let them start fighting first."

Su Tianyu immediately waved his hand, "That won't work. We can't gamble. Zhou Xian is handling a case across districts, which is no different from international arrests in the past. Once he becomes passive and doesn't follow our plan, it will become very troublesome."

"Taking the initiative is very risky," Xu Bin paused for a moment. "Once a few of us are caught, it will be difficult to proceed."

"My idea is that Zhou Xian's line has the highest priority," Su Tianyu immediately refused. "We have to know why we came here."

Seeing the two arguing, Liu Tao, who was driving, immediately interjected, "I think Zhou Xian's side will be faster. They've caught a lot of Xin Xiaoming's men in the past two days, and their route is flawless. I don't think other forces will be able to react."

Xu Bin paused for a moment, "Let's decide based on the situation!"

Su Tianyu glanced at him but didn't say anything.

"Brain, calling Brain!" Just then, Hou Guoyu's voice rang in the earpiece.

Su Tianyu leaned his head against the car window and whispered, "What's the situation?!"

"There's movement. Three cars have already arrived," Hou Guoyu said, getting up from the coffee shop and walking to the window. "I can't tell which side they're from yet."

"Observe carefully. They might be here to pick up Xin Xiaoming," Su Tianyu replied.

"I know!"

…

The two ended the call.

Su Tianyu immediately took out the gun from the canvas bag and shouted into the walkie-talkie system, "Attention all units, there's movement at the apartment building where the target is located."

"Roger!"

"Roger!"

Lao Hei and the others responded in the walkie-talkie and took out their weapons immediately.

At the same time, Xu Bin also ordered his peripheral action team to prepare for a hard fight.

…

Downstairs of an apartment building in the district.

Three cars slowly stopped by the side of the street, but no one got out immediately.

Inside the coffee shop, Hou Guoyu, wearing a smart suit, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, took out his phone, zoomed in several times, and scanned the direction of the cars.

After about five minutes, three more cars stopped in front of the apartment building. At the same time, more than a dozen people came out of the surrounding alleys and two Western restaurants.

Inside the lead car, Zhou Xian instructed into the walkie-talkie, "Go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than twenty people got out of the five cars, and together with the investigation team members on the periphery, rushed towards the apartment building.

Scanning the scene, Hou Guoyu whispered, "They've made their move, but I still can't identify these people."

Su Tianyu paused for a moment, "What's their formation?"

"Six cars, about thirty or forty people."

"Then don't move yet. Wait a little longer," Su Tianyu replied.

"Understood!"

The two ended the call. Su Tianyu tapped his leg with his right hand, "Damn, the psychological pressure is too much when doing things in other districts!"

"It's best not to open fire," Xu Bin replied in a hoarse voice. "My action team has just been set up. I don't want to run away again."

Su Tianyu glanced at him, frowning slightly.

…

"Tap, tap!"

On the 13th floor of the apartment building, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed through the corridor. More than a dozen members of the investigation team's action team rushed to the door of a room.

"Quick, quick!" The leader waved his hand.

Three men, holding crowbars, neatly inserted them into the door seam.

Behind them, three more men raised large iron hammers and swung them violently at the outer end of the crowbars.

"Bang, bang, bang…!"

With several muffled sounds, the security door was pried open with a creak!

"Go!"

Everyone surged in and rushed into the room.

Downstairs.

Sitting in the car, Zhou Xian's heart was pounding. He was also praying that everything would go smoothly tonight because once Xin Xiaoming was captured, his plan to deploy the First District's Chinese Corps against the garrison would be basically half successful.

The arms business was important, and dealing with the garrison was equally important!

In terms of political stance and ideas, Zhou Xian was completely different from Kang Dinghuang. The latter was more idealistic, while the former was very realistic, much like his grandfather who committed suicide after defeat.

Upstairs.

A group of people rushed into the room and saw Xin Xiaoming opening the window, releasing the rope, and preparing to escape.

"Whoosh!"

Everyone swarmed forward and simply and brutally dragged Xin Xiaoming down from the window, pinning him to the ground and beating him while handcuffing him.

"Who are you? Why are you arresting me?!"

"What's going on?!"

"…!"

Xin Xiaoming panicked completely. He had been waiting for the Chief of Staff to send someone to pick him up, but there was no movement on that side, and suddenly twenty or thirty burly men rushed in from outside the door.

The crowd worked together to hold Xin Xiaoming down, and the team leader immediately shouted, "The man is pinned down. He's the only one in the room, no help, no shots fired."

"Damn it!" In the car downstairs, Zhou Xian waved his fist excitedly and said in a hoarse voice, "Get him down here, quickly, let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xian pushed open the car door and stepped out.

In the coffee shop across the street, Hou Guoyu took a picture of Zhou Xian with his phone and immediately shouted, "Confirmed, it's the investigation team. Zhou Xian is here too."

Hearing this, Lao Hei and the others who were waiting in place all breathed a sigh of relief.

In the command vehicle, Xu Bin also breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Very good, Zhou Xian isn't useless! He's got the man pinned down, so our mission is over. We don't need to fire tonight."

…

Inside the room, more than twenty people took Xin Xiaoming and hurried downstairs. They were going to leave first, while four or five people were left behind to clean up the scene.

While searching Xin Xiaoming's bedroom, a member of the investigation team suddenly noticed several mobile phones in the drawer of his bedside table.

With no one in the room, the team member casually pressed the power button of each phone and found that none of them had a screen lock. He immediately picked up one and put it in his pocket.

Five minutes later, Zhou Xian took Xin Xiaoming and rushed to the airport.

Downstairs of the apartment building.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone had not completely descended, the member of the investigation team who took the phone went directly into the alley and dialed a number.

At the same time, Xu Bin sat in the car, "The mission is over. Should we go back directly?"
