Chapter 249: A Fleeting Opportunity

In the first floor corridor.

Jing Yan and Gu Baishun were being held by eight Chi Army soldiers, walking toward the stairwell to the second floor.

"...What do they want with us?" Gu Baishun wiped sweat from his temples, asking Jing Yan with trembling voice.

"I'm not sure either," Jing Yan's expression was also ugly, though he hadn't lost composure.

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

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

At the corridor corner, Zhu Bajie was smoking, leaning lazily against the wall.

Coming upstairs, Jing Yan saw Zhu Bajie wasn't wearing a mask - his heart immediately skipped a beat.

"People are here, Number One!" the soldier reported to Zhu Bajie.

Zhu Bajie took a drag on his cigarette, saying nothing, just waving his hand.

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

Looking at their expression, Jing Yan immediately raised his hands calling: "Brother, is there some misunderstanding?! We have no grudge!"

"Clatter!"

Three soldiers didn't waste words, directly raising their arms!

It was over - the instant the three soldiers raised their arms, Jing Yan realized they hadn't planned to talk with him - calling them up was to kill them.

In this situation, whether you were a powerful elite with extensive connections or bottom-level society, that moment's fear couldn't be hidden.

Jing Yan definitely didn't want to die. He called out sweating profusely: "Don't shoot, we can talk!! Want money? I have money! Want supplies? I can give supplies!! One phone call and I can arrange helicopters for you!"

Meanwhile, the usually timid and mousy Gu Baishun was now very calmly shouting: "We're useful, we can help you withdraw - don't kill us!"

Three black gun barrels aimed at the two - seeing Zhu Bajie had no reaction to their words, one soldier directly pulled the trigger!

"Rata-tat!"

Three rapid shots rang out - Gu Baishun's right hand spurted blood! When the other pulled the trigger, he had actually chosen to use his hand to lift the gun barrel!

Could lifting speed match shooting speed?

Obviously not - the instant Gu Baishun raised his arm, bullets directly blew away his forearm and two fingers!

Blood gushed down as Gu Baishun pressed down the gun barrel, shouting again: "Outside is full of people! Garrison, police system, navy, anti-terror all came!! You can't get out well! We can be inside agents, help you leave!!"

"Right! You know our Dock Workers Association's relationship with those above!! Many people don't want me dead! I can help you!" Jing Yan also shouted wildly following Gu Baishun's thinking.

Hearing this, the Chi Army soldiers didn't move.

Zhu Bajie threw away his cigarette, took out his pistol, directly aiming at Jing Yan.

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

"Bang!"

The gunshot exploded in the quiet corridor!

......

At the compound's back side, attack time arrived!

The special forces company commander glanced at his watch, immediately issuing orders: "Special police squads one and two move! Sniper positions provide covering fire, assault team ready!!"

Orders given, behind the Supervision Assembly's back courtyard wall, ten special police squad members bent down, leaning against the wall.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Another ten people stepped on their backs, immediately lying prone on the wall top, setting up guns!

In the back courtyard, Chi Army soldiers were on guard at defense positions!

"Bang bang bang...!"

Urgent gunfire rang out - six unprepared Chi Army soldiers were instantly killed with headshots!

Almost simultaneously, from over ten high points around the Supervision Assembly, sniper rifles aimed at the back courtyard, firing together!

Amid chaotic gunfire, half the Chi Army personnel defending the back courtyard were killed within two seconds by the three-sided encirclement simultaneous fire tactics!

"Boom!!"

An explosion rang through the courtyard as the assault team blew open the back gate, holding telescopic riot shields and silenced automatic rifles, charging into the courtyard spread out.

"Back courtyard main gate controlled!"

"Back courtyard outer perimeter entry points controlled!"

"...!"

As reports rang out endlessly, the special police company commander in the command vehicle watched the monitoring screens, immediately calling: "Helicopters prepare to air assault third floor, enter enemy command room!"

"Received!"

The helicopters waiting on the perimeter instantly flew low toward the reception main building, while snipers on the aircraft also aimed their guns at that room on the inner side of the third floor.

Everything was going smoothly, attack rhythm completely following the special forces company commander's deployment!

But at this critical moment, three Chi Army soldiers suddenly rushed out from behind holding Su Tianyu, exposed on two special police attack lines!

On the compound perimeter, the special police squad one leader was about to order attack when he saw Su Tianyu's figure, immediately freezing in place shouting: "Wait, don't advance!"

In the command vehicle, the special forces company commander also saw Su Tianyu through the reconnaissance drone, immediately jumping up!

"Don't want to talk, huh?! Huh?!!"

The Chi Army soldiers holding Su Tianyu pointed their guns down, shouting hysterically: "Don't want hostages anymore?!"

"All units attention, don't move!" the special forces company commander shouted wildly. "They've discovered!"

"Bang!!"

The Chi Army soldiers unhesitatingly shot Su Tianyu's right leg, making blood spray!

"Thud!"

Su Tianyu's body involuntarily dropped, his left hand grabbing the Chi Army soldier's arm to avoid collapsing completely!

"Don't come over! Don't come over, they'll kill me!" Su Tianyu shouted with breaking voice.

In the command vehicle, the special forces company commander watched Su Tianyu's expression, slamming his headset onto the control panel with a bang: "Damn it!! He exposed early - plan failed!"

On the third floor.

Zhao Weihu wearing a mask directly pushed open the window, taking his walkie-talkie calling: "Drive those white people to the back courtyard!!"

Orders given, over ten Chi Army personnel pushed six white hostages out of the building!

"Clatter!"

Zhao Weihu worked the automatic rifle bolt, hiding in the helicopter's shooting blind spot on the third floor, decisively pulling the trigger!

"Bang, bang bang bang!"

Several shots rang out as the pushed-out hostages fell one after another.

After shooting, Zhao Weihu stood inside calling: "Tell Li Mingsheng! If he wants to play, I'll play!! I eat with my head on the line - if I feared death I wouldn't have come!!"

Plan exposed early, helicopters could only withdraw!

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

"Not... not sure! His previous information was all correct, and he even rescued Secretary-General Lu!" the special forces company commander replied frowning. "Just now the Chi Army shot him in front of the attack group! The purpose was warning... he possibly was only exposed after being discovered!"
