Chapter 1 Sudden Change

On the way to the Hua District, Su Tianyu had stripped himself completely naked, save for a pair of shorts, and was heading towards the bathroom.

The delegation needed to travel on the sea for a long time, nearly a month, so the cargo ship's rooms were arranged to be relatively comfortable and spacious.

Su Tianyu was staying in a suite, his room on the outside and An Qiqi's room inside.

At this moment, because of the time difference, the sea was completely dark, and An Qiqi was lying in her room, preparing to rest.

Just as Su Tianyu reached the bathroom door, his phone suddenly rang.

"Di Ling Ling!"

Su Tianyu quickly stopped and turned to walk towards the table where the satellite phone was.

...

Meanwhile, in the corridor outside.

Several guards were smoking when the light overhead suddenly flickered twice.

Then, with a snap, the lights went out, and the entire cabin was plunged into darkness.

"What's going on?"

"Why did the lights suddenly go out?"

The guards were surprised and instinctively looked around.

...

Not only the outer corridor but even the cabins were plunged into darkness.

In the cabin next to Su Tianyu, Su Tiannan, who had been lying on the bed, felt something was wrong and suddenly sat up, quickly reaching for his phone.

"Zhi ga!"

The door of the room inside the suite was pushed open, and Wang Changli walked out in the dark, asking with some confusion, "Tiannan, what's going on with the cabin? Why is there a power outage?"

As he spoke, Wang Changli walked towards the door, preparing to open it and go out to see what was happening.

Su Tiannan quickly stopped him, "Wait, don't go out yet!"

Wang Changli turned to look at him, "What's wrong?"

"Wait a minute, I'll ask about the situation." Su Tiannan said, picking up the walkie-talkie on the bedside table and urgently asking, "Zhuzi, where are you?"

A guard captain's voice quickly came from the walkie-talkie, "I'm in the outer corridor."

Su Tiannan instructed urgently, "Quickly call and ask the higher-ups what's going on in the cabin, why did the power suddenly go out?"

"Received!"

...

At the same time, Su Tianyu's room was also pitch black. He frowned slightly, not thinking too much, and walked towards the signal light emitted by the satellite phone.

In the outer corridor, the doors of two cabins opened, and seven or eight guards quickly walked out, holding pistols and silently taking their positions, sealing off the area.

Zhuzi, wearing a bulletproof vest, stood at the junction of the corridor and the stairs, holding a walkie-talkie and anxiously inquiring about the situation in the cabin, "What's the situation in the power distribution room? Why is there a power outage? Team Three, Team Three, respond immediately!"

Just as he was urging, he suddenly heard a faint metallic sliding sound in his ear.

"Hua la!"

It was the sound of a Remington pump-action shotgun being cocked!

Zhuzi reacted instantly, reaching for his waist to draw his gun! Even so, he was still one step too late!

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, and Zhuzi's chest felt as if it had been hit by a hammer, his body flying backward and crashing heavily against the wall behind him. Although he was wearing a bulletproof vest, at close range, the Remington still shattered his left lower abdomen.

In the moment before he fainted, Zhuzi vaguely saw, by the moonlight outside the window, several figures walking down the stairs next to him.

The leader, his face covered, held a Remington in his hand. He raised his gun, aimed it at Zhuzi's head, and pulled the trigger again.

"Bang!"

"Pa!"

Blood splattered, staining the wall red…

…

In the cabin, Su Tianyu heard the gunshot and suddenly turned his head towards the door.

Without hesitation, he rushed to the room inside, pushed open the door, and shouted at An Qiqi inside, "Get up, someone is attacking!"

At this time, An Qiqi had already sat up, her face slightly pale. But she quickly drew a small pistol from the holster on the head of the bed and held it in her hand.

Without thinking, Su Tianyu grabbed the pants hanging on the clothes rack in the dark and quickly put them on.

After putting them on, he also picked up a pistol, cocked it, and warned An Qiqi, "Stay in the room, don't go out!"

An Qiqi gripped the pistol tightly and nodded emphatically.

…

In the corridor, more than a dozen guards had completed their deployment. After hearing the gunshot, they were even more on high alert, holding their pistols and aiming at the direction of the gunshot.

"Flashlight!"

"Pa!"

Two guards reached for the flashlight attachments and mounted them under the gun barrels.

"Dang lang!"

Just then, a grenade suddenly rolled to their feet, appearing in everyone's sight!

"Grenade! Take cover!"

The guards were well-trained and reacted immediately, taking cover.

"Boom!"

The grenade exploded instantly, and a large number of fragments ricocheted out.

Although the guards had taken evasive action, lying on the ground, the corridor was too small and the environment was very dark, making it impossible to assess the surrounding situation.

Two of the guards failed to dodge and were blown away by the explosion.

"Ah!!"

One guard was covered in blood from the explosion, and the other's leg was blown off, lying on the ground and wailing!

"There are wounded!"

"Cover, cover!"

Comrades next to them reached out and pulled them, desperately dragging them back.

Other guards held their guns and fired at the stairs, covering their comrades' actions!

"Bang bang bang!"

"Da da da!"

For a time, gunshots rang out continuously in the corridor.

The door of the room next door was suddenly kicked open with a bang, and Su Tiannan aimed a pistol equipped with a small flashlight outside.

After observing for a moment, he turned to Wang Changli and said, "Don't come out yet! It's dangerous outside!"

...

The sudden gunshots plunged the delegation into chaos.

In the room diagonally opposite Su Tiannan, Hou Guoyu quickly opened his backpack, pulled out an automatic rifle from it, and cocked it with a clatter.

Dai Quan stood next to him, barefoot on the floor, holding a walkie-talkie and shouting anxiously into it, "Cockpit! Cockpit, please respond!"

Hou Guoyu turned to look at him, and said with a solemn expression, "Don't ask, the cockpit must have been taken out!"

Dai Quan frowned, put down the walkie-talkie, took out a Remington, and then made several tactical gestures to Hou Guoyu.

…

Dragon City, Hua Rong Hotel.

Tan Hengqiang, along with Tan Mingchao, quickly left the banquet hall and came to a lounge on the side, where they saw An Zecheng sitting inside on the phone.

"Old An, is the news accurate?" As soon as he entered the door, Tan Hengqiang asked with a somewhat solemn tone.

An Zecheng put down his phone, his face solemn: "Accurate, Bai Hongbo is in great danger right now."

Tan Hengqiang asked again, "Have the people been caught?"

An Zecheng nodded: "Caught, already brought back."

Tan Hengqiang was silent for a moment, then turned to Tan Mingchao and said: "Quick, mobilize the nearby street control company, go to the hospital to deploy defenses immediately!"

"Yes!" Tan Mingchao tore off the tie around his neck and quickly left the lounge.

After he left, Tan Hengqiang asked again, "Did you call Su Tianyu?"

An Zecheng shook his head: "Called, but he didn't answer."

Speaking of this, a bad feeling rose in both of their hearts, and Tan Hengqiang's face also became complicated.

…

On the ship, Su Tianyu hid in his room, holding a pistol, his shoulder against the door, listening carefully to the movements outside.
