Chapter 241: A Massive Wave Engulfs Dragon City

At the reception, after Police Bureau Director Lin You hurriedly hung up the phone, he was called to a second-floor private room by Secretary-General Lu.

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

Director Lin immediately replied: "The bureau received a call - Holy Church was attacked by unknown bandits, about forty-plus people have been taken hostage. The bandits just made their demands - they want 200 million in cash delivered to the church within three hours."

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

"Not yet, but the bureau judges it might be done by some extremist laborers," Director Lin replied.

"Immediately organize police forces for rescue!" Secretary-General Lu said pointing at him. "Must complete the operation before the incident forms influence. Also, must ensure hostage safety - all those at that church are white social elites - if there are casualties, that's also very troublesome."

"Good, I'll go command on scene immediately," Lin You nodded at once.

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

After their communication, Lin You left the reception scene with large strides, while Secretary-General Lu was also called to an empty rest room by Dragon City's mayor.

......

Longkou District Police Division responded first - sixty to seventy officers took vehicles rushing toward the kidnapping scene.

Meanwhile, the anti-terror troops originally on duty around the Supervision Assembly were also urgently dispatched to the church's side.

On over ten surrounding streets, police sirens wailed chaotically as riot vehicles and police cars sped along.

After leaving the reception scene, Lin You didn't return to the Police Bureau but took his own vehicle toward the church.

In the car, Lin You held his phone, shouting softly: "Damn it, notify the special police team to parachute to the scene by helicopter! I'm telling you, the Supervision Assembly is holding a reception - whoever drops the ball and causes trouble at this time, I'll fucking demote them!"

"Understood, understood!" the deputy director on duty replied urgently. "I'm also about to reach the scene."

At the reception.

While You Yifan was talking with friends, he suddenly received a call: "Hello, what's up?"

"Have you heard? Something's happened at Holy Church!"

"Ah?!" You Yifan took the phone walking aside: "What happened?"

"Over forty people taken hostage by unknown bandits - they want 200 million in cash," the person on the phone said in a low voice. "The Supervision Assembly just started their reception today and now there's a kidnapping outside - and most hostages are white people - this matter probably isn't simple!"

You Yifan stood stunned, and before he could reply, he saw Dragon City's mayor and high officials in his circle all come down from the second floor with serious expressions, walking directly toward the building's back door.

"Yifan, I personally feel you'd better not attend this reception anymore," the person on the phone advised softly. "Those above have differences on handling the Xinaluo issue - now with this kidnapping happening, future policies are hard to say! Why not come back and lay low first, wait until things settle before discussing?"

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

"Good, talk when you're back."

They ended the call and You Yifan looked up calling to Yu Mingyuan and Su Tianyu: "Come here!"

"What is it?" Yu Mingyuan came over holding his wine glass.

"No more drinking, let's go," You Yifan hurriedly called out. "Talk in the car."

Hearing this, the two didn't ask more questions, putting down their glasses and immediately following You Yifan out. At this time, many neutral wealthy merchants and social elites were also hurriedly walking out of the compound, clearly having heard the news too.

On the street to the left of the Supervision Assembly, Zhao Weihu stood alone by the roadside, hands in pockets and cigarette in mouth, nodding toward a car in the distance.

In the passenger seat of a dilapidated SUV in the roadside parking spot, the Chi Army guard battalion commander held a walkie-talkie calling: "According to plan, begin operation!"

As the order was given, within two to three kilometers around the Supervision Assembly, over ten trucks and private vehicles drove toward the Supervision Assembly compound from different directions.

At the same time, on over twenty large and small surrounding streets, many ordinary-looking pedestrians each quickened their pace toward the Supervision Assembly.

Due to the sudden church kidnapping case, the police personnel and anti-terror troops originally patrolling around the Supervision Assembly had mostly been dispatched away - only some police patrol points remained near the central venue area.

About two minutes later, a cargo truck passed through an intersection approaching the Supervision Assembly compound.

At the edge of the left street, an officer seeing a tarpaulin-covered truck driving over immediately waved signaling it to stop.

In the truck's cab, four young men lowered their heads putting on bandit masks, pulling out rifles from the sleeping berth.

"Pull over!" the officer shouted.

"Swoosh!"

The window lowered as all four pointed guns out.

"Rata-tat-tat..."

Intense gunfire rang out without warning - the three officers blocking the road were shot down on the spot.

"Vroom!"

The large truck instantly broke through the checkpoint - the remaining roadside officers immediately scattered, taking their walkie-talkies calling out first thing: "Someone's broken through, shots fired!"

Inside the Supervision Assembly compound, Su Tianyu who was just about to get in the car turned sharply hearing gunfire: "AK! Right next door!"

You Yifan paused before immediately shouting: "Quickly get in the fucking car!"

From an alley in the building opposite the Supervision Assembly, three masked men ran out pulling automatic rifles from canvas bags, walking directly onto the street.

"Rata-tat-tat..."

The three swept their guns toward the Supervision Assembly compound, forcing many cars trying to leave to stop.

"Vroom!"

The truck charged over from the side, stopping diagonally at the Supervision Assembly compound as the commander in the cab took his walkie-talkie calling: "Get out, control the compound."

"Swoosh!"

As he finished speaking, the truck's tarpaulin was lifted - over thirty masked men wearing combat uniforms and bulletproof vests, tactical bags at their waists, carrying guns, portable mortars and RPG launchers, nimbly jumped down from the truck bed.

A man wearing a cartoon mask moved sideways, crouching to set up the RPG and pulled the trigger.

"Whoosh!"

A shell fired out, lighting up the misty night above the Supervision Assembly compound.

"Boom!"

The explosion rang out as the third floor of the main building was instantly blown open.

In the SUV, the guard battalion commander shouted again: "All units switch communication equipment to encrypted frequency, all outer personnel don't control streets - directly enter the scene."

As the order was given, people on three or four surrounding streets suddenly took out signal guns aimed at the sky.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Several signal flares rose in succession, completely lighting up Dragon City.

Zhao Weihu lowered his head putting on a Megatron mask, waved at the SUV, and walked with large strides toward the Supervision Assembly.

......

Inside the Supervision Assembly compound, before You Yifan, Dog Six and others could rush out, they saw large numbers of armed personnel charge in through the main entrance.

Around them, dozens of people hiding behind cars kept shouting: "Damn it, who ate rabid dog meat to fucking dare attack the Supervision Assembly?!"

"Help! Where are the surrounding police personnel?"

"Go back, can't get out through the entrance!"

"...!"

As shouts rang out endlessly, the Supervision General Assembly that held power half a level above the city Political Assistance fell into complete chaos.
