The General Bureau personally took charge and commanded all the teams. This operation had drawn great attention from the city, and almost all the elites had been dispatched.
All the small teams received direct orders from the bureau chief and were unaware of each other's actions.
“Tick-tock, tick-tock.” The watch on Xiao Chen's wrist in the car made a rhythmic sound. Everyone in the car was extremely nervous.
Tang Tang didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
She had gone to great lengths to get this opportunity.
Tang Tang sank into the memories of the day again.
“No way!” Zuo Mu's face was ashen as he mercilessly rejected Tang Tang's request.
Although Tang Tang had a sweet face, she was extremely brave and actually volunteered to go to the scene of the final raid.
If it weren't for the connection with Bureau Chief Wang, Zuo Mu wouldn't have been here either.
His original intention was to follow the main force himself. Tang Tang was so young. If there were really a shoot - out with such a long - established criminal gang, it would be extremely dangerous.
So, for Tang Tang's safety, Zuo Mu firmly disagreed.
“Brother Zuo Mu～～～” Seeing that her reasonable request was of no use, Tang Tang changed her strategy and sweetly coquettishly.
Zuo Mu was a straight - laced man for many years. There had been girls who chased him before, but as soon as he refused, they would give up.
Zuo Mu had really never experienced Tang Tang's way of doing things.
“Cough, cough, cough...” Zuo Mu coughed repeatedly. He really wanted to reject this coquettish girl, but found that he just couldn't say no to Tang Tang.
“Please, please. I'm not a little kid anymore. Such an opportunity is so rare. I want to see with my own eyes how the murderer who killed Wang Lin will be brought to justice!”
Zuo Mu fell silent.
Based on the clues he had about the mastermind behind the scenes, he was quite skeptical about whether tonight's operation could capture all the criminals.
Such a large criminal gang had been on the run in several places and had never been caught. He absolutely didn't believe that there was no powerful protection behind them.
And according to what he had investigated, it was almost certain.
“Why do you have to go to the scene? Isn't it good to wait outside?” Zuo Mu was quite curious about Tang Tang's imaginative mind. This girl could always come up with such strange ideas.
“I just want to go. Brother, think about it. How many such experiences can a person have in a lifetime? And it's obvious that they're trying to frame my dad. As his daughter, I can't accept it. I must go all out against these unscrupulous criminals.”
As Tang Tang spoke, she raised her proud little face. The sun shone on the girl's somewhat immature face, and even the fine hairs on her face could be seen.
This once again verified that although Tang Tang seemed mature in mind, she was still a child in terms of physical age.
For some reason, the cute little hairs on the girl's face made Zuo Mu think of a bristling kitten.
She really had a cat - like personality.
Zuo Mu sighed and raised his big hand, placing it directly on Tang Tang's head.
“I promise you.”
The warmth from his palm spread on her head. Tang Tang suddenly felt her heart skip a beat.
She dodged Zuo Mu's broad and warm palm with a quick move, then pretended nothing had happened and said with a smile, “That's great, Brother Zuo Mu. Thank you.”
So, this was the opportunity that Tang Tang had managed to get through coquetry and cajoling. It was the first time she had seen such a big - scale operation. The girl's heart was pounding. She was nervous, excited, and also felt a sense of novelty from seeing something new.
Just like this, Tang Tang and Zuo Mu arrived outside the company's headquarters. Thanks to Zuo Mu, the headquarters didn't ask too many questions, but just told them to be careful.
Everyone was on high alert, waiting for the order from the walkie - talkie.
As time passed, everyone's nerves reached the peak of tension.
Xiao Chen and Li Qiang were still an old - and - new partner combination.
This was also the first time Xiao Chen had participated in such a high - profile arrest operation. It made the fresh - out - of - school young man extremely nervous.
“We must arrest all these people later!” Xiao Chen said naively.
“Wake up, kid. Anything can happen before we get inside.” Li Qiang couldn't help but pour cold water on this rookie.
Xiao Chen was stunned. “Why?”
Li Qiang raised his hand to check the time and found that it wasn't time for the factory workers to go to sleep yet. Only then did he patiently explain, “The reason is simple. You know that in all these years since I joined the job, no operation has ever been 100% successful. So, no matter how much effort you've put in beforehand, you have to be prepared for all your efforts to go to waste or even to lose your life.”
Xiao Chen thought Li Qiang was joking and was a bit angry for once. He retorted, “I know what you said makes sense, but now it's all about evidence. We have evidence. Why can't we arrest them all?”
He was still too young. Li Qiang shook his head.
A case involved many networks of relationships and chains of interests. Without someone backing these people, it would be impossible for them to have evaded capture for so long.
“All departments, attention! All departments, attention!!!” Just as Xiao Chen was about to argue further, the voice of the bureau chief suddenly came from the walkie - talkie. He immediately put all his thoughts aside and listened carefully to the command.
The headquarters wanted to wait until the people inside the company had rested before taking action. As soon as the lights in the dormitory building of the factory went out, the order was immediately given: “Action!”
In an instant, all the people waiting outside moved. The birds in the woods sensed that something was wrong and took off one after another. The atmosphere was extremely tense.
“Don't move!”
“Don't move!”
“Don't move!”
Each group quickly reached their assigned areas in a smooth and coordinated manner.
Some of the people here were already asleep, and some had just gone to bed. They were all taken control of in a daze.
“Group 1 has completed the operation!”
“Group 2 has completed the operation!”
“Group 3 has completed the operation!”
...
The general commander listened to the voices from the team leaders on the walkie - talkie with satisfaction.
Only when all the teams had reported did it mark the successful completion of this operation.
Xiao Chen naturally rushed in too. He went to the company's drug research laboratory.
As soon as he entered, he felt that something was wrong inside. The temperature was unusually low.
Zuo Mu didn't go in. He waited until the situation was completely under control before he dared to call the two of them over.
Zuo Mu walked in front, and Tang Tang followed behind. The occasion was too solemn, so Tang Tang knew her place and didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
“What on earth is going on here?” Xiao Chen pointed at the huge and sophisticated equipment in the laboratory and asked, “Do they need such big instruments for drug research?”
A large machine in the middle was “buzzing” as it ran.
Zuo Mu's expression turned solemn when he saw the machine.
He walked up to the machine and studied the English, Japanese, and German on it for a long time. Then he walked to the other end of the machine and pressed something. The machine suddenly stopped running.
Zuo Mu pressed another button, and a hidden part of the machine began to open.
