Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter-Chapter 469 - 231: Scarlet Spiritual Water, Endless Night_2

Chapter 469: Chapter 231: Scarlet Spiritual Water, Endless Night_2
There might still be some time before the message is received. The city is undergoing a sweep, and there’s not much traffic on the road leading here. So as soon as there are any clues, they will know immediately.
Wu Yuqiang went nearby and bought some local specialty baked buns and meat dishes, handing them out to everyone.
The night is cool like water, and the people are still restless!
Tonight will surely be a fierce battle; the situation ahead may spiral out of control, so let everyone replenish their strength first.
Luo Fei chewed on his bun, staring at the distant factory, its dark exterior walls, cold prefabricated panels, and the dim lights in the compartments below.
How much blood has been spilled inside, how many lives taken, he dared not ponder deeply.
The distance between both sides was not far, yet a whole urban village stood between them.
The intertwining paths and main roads in the village seemed like gateways to hell.
Once those kids were sent here, all the murder and crime would happen simultaneously.
Thus, he only had one chance!
His hands started to shake from nervousness. Even during the counterfeit money bust in Binhai, he wasn’t this scared.
But at this moment, he felt the overwhelming pressure for the first time.
Zhao Donglai walked over and patted him on the shoulder.
"Rescuing hostages is not something we’ve never done before. Technically, this should mainly be handled by the armed police, but because we have the initial intelligence and are more familiar with the clues from this investigation, we have to intervene in the operation."
"Be careful when the time comes; I trust you."
Luo Fei didn’t respond, just quietly looked into the distance, and after a long time, he slowly nodded.
After another ten-odd minutes, suddenly, the news came.
Two vehicles in total, one coming from the highway and another from the paths within the urban village. Both vehicles were trucks, each carrying a medium-sized container.
Something felt off inside, so they marked it specially.
Moreover, the driver was a local, yet spoke evasively, thus the investigating police ed the license plates and their driving routes over here.
"What time is it?"
Zhao Donglai looked below, and the armed police officers were already taking action.
"It’s ten minutes to nine..."
Luo Fei and his team had already changed into gear, bulletproof vests, helmets, and various weapons were essential.
This time was different from the last at Yundi Technology; with a gang of over a hundred robbers, if a fight broke out, it would be a different scene altogether.
"Old Luo, how are we going to block them?"
"All’s fair in war, I think we can wait a bit longer."
Wu Yuqiang and the others beside him were dumbfounded. The trucks were already on the move; if they drove into the factory in a moment, once the operation began, it would truly be too late.
"I think it might not be that simple."
"Imagine if we were the bandits, knowing we might have been compromised, wouldn’t we send someone to probe on the road first?"
"If either route encounters an accident, the other route wouldn’t be safe either, so only after both sides are in can the rest move in. It’s a basic precautionary measure."
Zhao Donglai and Gao Yan nodded in agreement. Their years of criminal investigation and siege operations made them realize that such thinking was correct. After all, for these desperadoes, what they were doing was akin to losing their heads if caught; they had to be cautious.
"Brother Fei, the binoculars."
Qi Tongwei handed over the item.
Luo Fei looked down at the small path in the urban village. If he was correct, their vehicle should be not far behind.
Suddenly, a minivan pulling to the side caught his attention.
"Team Leader Zhao, Director Wu, look at that grey minivan."
The two hurriedly set up their binoculars, similarly noting the target vehicle moving slowly along the road.
"If the vehicles in front are bait and decoys, then the real observer would definitely not be in the middle of the road following the traffic; they’d choose a favorable position, ready to bolt at any time."
"Clearly, there’s little traffic now, so why is that minivan consistently occupying the turning lane instead of the straight lane? It’s because it’s always prepared for emergencies."
"Quite the fox!"
Hearing Luo Fei’s assessment, Han Tiesheng sneered beside him, then began adjusting his gun and magazine.
"Hmph, let them be arrogant; they’ll see our might soon enough."
"Let’s see if this fox can withstand our shot."
Zhao Donglai spoke up too.
"Luo Fei, let’s take action now. That minivan isn’t far from the truck; if they enter the food processing factory simultaneously, we’ll strike."
"Alright!"
Under the cover of night, a large group of armed police officers headed toward the urban village from the nearby slope. Once they crossed the urban village area, they could directly reach the food processing factory.
Meanwhile, the highway above was blocked, hindering the vehicles and providing some cover.
Inside the food processing factory, the man known as Boss She was lounging on the sofa, smoking a cigarette.
"It’s already nine o’clock. Where did you two little brats go?"
As he grumbled, two trucks drove into the factory perimeter.
They parked side by side in the courtyard; the high beams startled many, who all rushed out to encircle the trucks.
But those coming out of the cab and container weren’t the Yan brothers, but the bandits.
Some were holding long guns, others short-barreled shotguns, and some pistols. Despite the different weapons, each was armed. It was no simple feat.
"Where’s your big brother? Yan Baohua? Died on the way?"
"Get him out here now."
Boss She, full of wrath, pointed his gun at one of their foreheads.
Suddenly, the sound of a third vehicle braking echoed not far away.
A minivan pulled up there.
"Boss She, calm down, don’t be rash. We’ve been doing business for years, no need to be so cruel to my men, right?"
As he spoke, a man got out of the minivan, holding a short-barreled shotgun.
If Han Tiesheng were here, he’d surely recognize him!
The man was the one he chased on the Binhai Expressway before, the one who pulled a gun on him.
Simultaneously, another man with a shaved head stepped out. He appeared younger than their big brother who would follow up.
They were the Yan brothers, Yan Baohua and Yan Shoudong.
"Yan, don’t give me that haha business. My old man does business, but never with nagging people. You’re more long-winded this time than before, what’s going on?"
Hearing the blunt reprimand, Yan Baohua approached with a face full of gloom, then lifted a hand to pat the other’s shoulder.
"Boss She, I have a reason for advising you not to get angry."
"We steal, kidnap, and capture people, while you make money, take, and earn. Everything must be fair and clear. Who gave you the courage to shout at me?"
"Our third was caught, and we lost a brother in Jiangzhou City. I’m not in a good mood now. Please don’t push me, okay?"
Yan Baohua, speaking gently, was patting the other’s face with his gun barrel, suppressing his anger.
Boss She felt a bit scared too.
"Alright, alright then, let’s... let’s unload first. Everything is ready inside; it can be taken now."
Yan Baohua, too weary to talk, simply motioned his second brother over to take a look.
Yan Shoudong, with several brothers, approached the minivan. Just as he raised his hand to pull the door, a sudden rush of wind swept past his ear.
Swish—
That’s the noise of a silencer!
Along with a miserable scream, flesh and blood splattered, a scene of crimson filled everyone’s sight.
Yan Shoudong’s right hand was directly shattered!
The pain sent his eyes rolling back as he fainted; this was surely the power of a sniper rifle!
"What the hell is happening?!"
Boss She was furious, glaring fiercely at Yan Baohua.
"Did you really lead the tail here?"
Seeing this, Yan Baohua was the first to break down, offered no explanation, grabbed his shotgun, and ran to his brother’s side, covering him while retreating and firing at the same time.
But the armed police officers coming through the gate were not to be trifled with!
In an instant, both sides opened fire, blood splattered, and the scene erupted into chaos.
