Han Guo , along with six students including Chen Chuan , exited the auditorium, boarded an armed transport vehicle that was waiting there, and drove away. Chen Chuan and the others sat inside the vehicle, able to see the outside world only through the narrow sliding window. He also noticed a small radio placed there. Searᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Han Guo distributed a copy of the data to each person, saying, "This is the specific data of the robbers, but it's only from before they were imprisoned, so just take a look. Fang Dawei and his gang raided the residence of council member Fang Zuo , and are suspected of kidnapping Council Member Fang's seven-year-old son." "What's the purpose? What's the motive?" A male student with the surname Wu asked without looking up, flipping through the data impatiently. "It's not clear from this." Han Guo glanced at him and said, "Council Member Fang Zuo previously banned a batch of illegal drugs and is suspected of moving some of them to his home. However, no traces of such items were found in his residence. It's very likely that he had already sold them off. The Patrol Bureau speculates that the robbers kidnapped Council Member Fang's son, most likely to force him to exchange them for a batch of illegal drugs, or to meet some other conditions." The female student said, "If that's the case, then Council Member Fang's son is temporarily not in danger?" Han Guo said indifferently, "That's assuming things are as speculated. When I came to see you, the shootout at the bank had already ended. The Patrol Bureau suffered quite a few casualties. These two groups have joined forces and retreated towards the north of the city. However, the Patrol Bureau has been following them, and they haven't been able to escape the encirclement. They have now retreated to a certain place." As she spoke, she took out a map and spread it out in front of everyone. "According to the information received from the front, they should be here now." She pointed her finger. "Caijia Village." At the same time, Guan Yumming , the Yangzhi City Patrol Bureau deputy director and temporary commander, was looking at the map hanging on the wall, his eyes fixed on the location of Caijia Village. A messenger came in, saluted him, and said, "Reporting, the temporary telephone line has been laid. A message has been received from the city stating that the Wuyi faction's cooperating students are already on their way, and... Council Member Fang's wife has arrived here." Guan Yumming said, "Understood." He retracted his gaze, walked out of the temporary command post located on the high ground, picked up binoculars, and looked at the distant village. He could vaguely see people moving around inside and asked, "Are all the people here yet?" The deputy who followed him immediately opened a folder and said, "Except for the Changbao District where the headquarters is located, the police officers dispatched from the other Xigang District, Baofeng District, Guard Gate District, Dongbao District, Quanbei District, and Daping District police stations have all arrived, led by the captains of each station, respectively…" "Stop reading, tell them that they are all old acquaintances. I won't call them over one by one to give instructions. Just do as I say when the time comes, and don't let me down." "Yes!" Guan Yumming looked ahead. The houses in the village extended in an east-west direction, with the west being higher and the east being lower. To the north was a hill, and to the east was a stream. To the southwest of the village entrance was a low mound with a few elm trees and shrubs. Entering the village was an upward slope with a donkey cart overturned, and the donkey pulling the cart was also lying there. However, no matter how he looked at it, he always felt that the low mound in front of the village was unpleasant. He asked, "Have the machine guns, mortars, smoke bombs, and grenades I requested been delivered yet?" The deputy said, "Reporting, not yet. The bureau said that the approval from the Government Affairs Hall is stuck." Guan Yumming was very dissatisfied. "Forget about the mortars and machine guns, they won't even give me grenades and smoke bombs? Fine, we'll fight without them. Order Sun Quezi to be stationed near the bridgehead on the east side. Have Yu Xiaoyan take a radio and lead a team around to the back of Xiaoxi Village to cut off the road leading to the hill. Wei Laohu and Xiao Niangniang each lead a team around the mound. Tell Wei Laohu's team not to move for now. There's probably someone there. Find an opportunity to go up. After the others are in place, upon hearing the signal, provide suppressive fire into the village. Even if you can't hit anyone, make some noise. Also, tell the Commission Company people to take advantage of their speed and try to rush in from the front while we're providing suppressive fire." "Yes!" The messenger police officer quickly recorded these orders and ran out immediately. After waiting for about twenty minutes, the messenger police officer walked in and said, "Reporting, all teams are in position. However, Captain Yu says that a team of villagers has organized and blocked the rear. They seem to have had a firefight with the robbers before." Guan Yumming's eyes turned cold. "Where did they get the guns?" The police officer said, "Captain Yu reports that they are old things left over from the Great Reclamation period, and some people are using hunting bows and crossbows. They are from several nearby villages and are mostly related to the people of Caijia Village. There are quite a few of them, and they are familiar with the surrounding geographical environment, so they can still fight with the robbers." Guan Yumming frowned. He could tell that things weren't that simple. He instructed, "Have Yu Xiaoyan disarm these people and control them first." At this time, he would never allow another armed force to exist nearby. However, he didn't have the mind to investigate at the moment. He would wait until he had dealt with Fang Dawei's group before saying anything else. The messenger police officer came to report again a while later, saying, "Director, Captain Yu said that the villagers are very cooperative and have handed over all their weapons." Guan Yumming nodded and said, "Good, send the signal." "Yes!" Soon, a signal was sent out. Almost at the same time, gunshots rang out in several directions of Caijia Village. The personnel dispatched by the Commission Company also began to rush towards the village quickly. There were about twenty of them, running for a while and stopping for a while, and walking along a winding route. They quickly approached the village entrance. The few people at the front increased their speed and quickly rushed in. The people behind saw that it was going smoothly and followed up. However, at this moment, a burst of fire suddenly erupted from the low mound, along with a "deng deng deng" sound. The people rushing onto the gentle slope were shot down one by one, and some people were blown into several pieces. Guan Yumming's face remained unmoved. He said in a calm tone, "Plowing-style machine gun. There really is a firepower point. Someone is cooperating with them." Through his binoculars, he saw that the few Commission Company members who had rushed into the village couldn't retreat and could only grit their teeth and rush forward. However, a big man came out from the opposite side and actually knocked a person to the ground with one punch. There was also a very fast black shadow scurrying along the ground. Whenever it passed by a Commission Company member , the latter would fall to the ground silently. In just over ten seconds, all the people who had rushed in were motionless. At this time, there was also fierce gunfire behind the low mound. After about half a minute, the machine gun was completely silent. Soon, the messenger came in: "Reporting, Captain Wei reports that they have occupied the low mound, killed two armed robbers, and one escaped into the village. A damaged plowing-style light machine gun and a number of machine gun bullets have been seized." Guan Yumming grunted in acknowledgement, it was just a pity that the mound wasn't as high as the village, otherwise, occupying it would give them a commanding view and allow them to directly fire into the village. "Don't stop me, I want to talk to your director." At this moment, a woman who was less than thirty years old, with wavy long hair, slender curved eyebrows, wearing exquisite earrings, and dressed in a lake-green modified Ru skirt rushed in. As soon as she saw Guan Yumming , she burst into tears and said, "Director Guan, please save my child, please save my child." The deputy said, "Director Guan, this is Madam Fang." Guan Yumming looked at her and said, "Madam Fang, we will try to ensure his safety." "But, but, I just saw you shooting, can't you negotiate? You can tell those robbers that as long as my child is safe, I'm willing to give them as much money as they want…" Guan Yumming said, "Madam Fang, we have our own considerations on what to do." He then instructed the police officer at the door, "Take Madam Fang down to rest." "No, I'm not going anywhere, I'll just stay here!" Madam Fang refused to leave no matter what. Due to her identity, the police officers couldn't forcefully take action and could only try to persuade her. At this time, the phone rang. The deputy went over to pick it up, and then turned to Guan Yumming and said, "Director Guan, it's a call from the director." Guan Yumming went over to take it and said, "Hello, this is Guan Yumming ." "How's the situation?" "We have surrounded Caijia Village." "Don't push too hard, you can appropriately open a path. The City Government Affairs Hall is very concerned about this matter, and someone from above even called me about it. Remember, you can ignore the others, but you must save Council Member Fang's child at all costs." Guan Yumming was silent for a moment, then said, "Understood." After he hung up the phone, he raised his head and said to the deputy, "Send a telegram and tell Yu Xiaoyan's side to make way, and then have someone go up and shout that as long as they are willing to hand over the child, the conditions can be discussed." After about seven or eight minutes, the messenger police officer came over and said, "Reporting, Director, the other side has sent someone over to talk, saying they need a large amount of Anti-mutation drug, no less than twenty boxes, and also need 50,000 Jian Yuan Coins and three cars." "I'll give it, I'll give it, I'm willing to give them everything, as long as they release my child." Guan Yumming hadn't even opened his mouth when Madam Fang shouted anxiously. Guan Yumming thought for a while and said, "Tell them that we can give them the things, but we must see the child first to confirm that Council Member Fang's child is still safe." The messenger police officer saluted and went out to convey the order. After waiting for a few minutes, the messenger returned and said, "The robbers said that we can send someone into the village to see the person. Other things can be taken later, but the medicine must be brought first, otherwise there's no point in talking." Just as Guan Yumming was thinking, someone walked in and said a few words to the deputy, who then looked up and said, "Director, the people from Wuyi are here." Guan Yumming looked up and said, "They've come just in time!" He said to the deputy, "Go and invite them over, I have something to tell them." …… ……
