Chapter 964 The Third Location

Chapter 121 A Subtle Feeling

At Fifth Division headquarters, a commander, holding a map of the Victor Railway Station, said, "This place covers a large area with a high volume of people. If we apprehend them here, they might take hostages. My personal suggestion is to wait until they come out before making a move."

Gwen quickly scanned the map and frowned, muttering, "How many trains are scheduled to arrive recently?"

"Between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM, there are six trains arriving, with an estimated passenger flow of at least four thousand people." The commander looked down at his watch. "That means no matter what time the rendezvous takes place, there will be a considerable number of people here."

Gwen pondered for a long time before saying, "Both rendezvous points are in such crowded places. I feel like something's not right!"

The others fell silent upon hearing this.

...

Inside the Panama City operations command center.

"How about the third location at Manchester Stadium?" Huang Peishan stood up and said, "There's a stadium-organized event there tonight, with thousands of fans attending."

Su Tianyu stood by the window, constantly smoking. "Why not put the third rendezvous point at the 705 highway intersection?"

"There's no one there. It's too easy for them to set up an ambush." Someone objected, but Huang Peishan remained silent.

Su Tianyu turned around, his face surrounded by smoke. "The other side isn't stupid. Mai You is likely compromised, and he can't have Gwen's complete trust. We're testing the waters, and they're analyzing too. If all three locations are complex terrains, it would be too suspicious."

Huang Peishan immediately realized. "I think Bureau Chief Su is right. The third location can be at the 705 highway intersection."

An Qiqi slowly nodded. "Yes, all three rendezvous points have significant public transportation characteristics. That's reasonable."

"Who's going?" Huang Peishan asked.

Su Tianyu licked his lips. "Let Lao Yang's people go, without carrying weapons."

"Okay, I'll communicate with him." Lu Feng nodded.

Su Tianyu looked down at his watch. "Spearhead team, quickly move into position."

"I've already communicated." An Qiqi stood up and walked next to Su Tianyu, whispering, "My inside source says there are also quite a few people at the target location."

"Of course, he wouldn't throw away the watermelon to pick up a sesame seed." Su Tianyu pondered for a moment. "It'll be tough, but we have to do it."

...

Manchester, Fifth Division headquarters.

Li Xinghai, with members of the Qingyi Bureau, arrived outside the conference room and said to the military intelligence personnel guarding the door, "Hello, we'd like to see Mr. Gwen."

"I'm sorry, he's very busy right now."

"I'm busy too, my time is also valuable!" Li Xinghai responded, annoyed. "We have the upper-level approval documents from your Central Bureau to take him into custody."

"I'm sorry, Director Gwen can't see you right now. You can wait on the side."

"...How long do we have to wait?"

"I'm not sure. He's in a meeting." The military intelligence personnel shook his head.

Li Xinghai gritted his teeth. "Fine, I'll wait!"

After speaking, the group went to the left side of the corridor and sat down in the lounge area.

"He's doing this on purpose!" An operative from the Qingyi Bureau said, agitated. "The Central Bureau has already issued the documents. He's just stalling for time, because once we meet, he'll have no reason not to release the person."

"Let's just wait here and see how long he can stall." Li Xinghai took out a pack of cigarettes.

"Team Leader Li, do you think Liu Cong could really be an informant for the Huagong Association?" One of the operatives was already starting to doubt himself. "Gwen is protecting him so much, I think there's a reason..."

"...!" Li Xinghai was speechless. "What is the absolute principle of military intelligence work?! It is to firmly believe in your beliefs and comrades. If you start to doubt yourself, then you'll see everyone as a ghost! Because in this industry, nothing is simple or straightforward."

The operative blinked. "What you said is too philosophical..."

...

Inside the conference room.

Gwen, with his hands behind his back, looked at the operations panel, his brain working rapidly.

"Report!" An operative from the surveillance team stood up, saluted, and shouted, "Director, Mai You received a second rendezvous call."

"Location!" Gwen asked.

"At the 705 highway. Huang Peishan wants Mai You to go pick someone up immediately." The operative replied quickly.

Hearing this, Gwen's tense expression relaxed. He looked at the map and muttered, "Three transportation hubs, they're quite spread out."

"Yes!"

"The remaining three hundred men, two hundred go to Victor Railway Station. Set up observation and interception points in zones two and three outside the station. One hundred go to the 705 highway and set up an ambush about two kilometers outside the rendezvous point."

"Yes!"

After a group of people saluted, another seven or eight commanders left with their teams. Only the administrative personnel and the security team protecting Gwen remained in the room.

Gwen looked down at his watch. "Around twelve o'clock, we'll definitely have results!"

...

About an hour later.

The encirclement of the three locations had been quietly completed, and the personnel pretending to rendezvous with the An faction and the Huagong Association had also moved into position.

On the highway to Lishi, Su Tianbei looked down at his watch. "How much longer?"

"About twenty minutes." The driver replied.

"Okay!" Su Tianbei nodded.

Mai You sat aside, looked at Su Tianbei's profile, and suddenly smiled, asking, "Your relationship with Bureau Chief Su is so close, like royalty. Do you still have to do such dangerous things yourself?"

"Hehe." Su Tianbei smiled and glanced at him. "Whether it's our family or the people in the association, if we only rely on Bureau Chief Su to handle everything while everyone else just slacks off and eats for free, we definitely wouldn't have reached this scale today. Everyone has to work hard to create a prosperous era, don't you think?"

"That's right." Mai You nodded. "I admire you guys. You've grown so big in just six or seven years."

"Ah, just a bit of opportunity." Su Tianbei replied, smiling, "Let's find a place to stop the car ahead and distribute the weapons we just got. In case something happens in the port, everyone will have the ability to resist."

The two looked at each other for half a second, and Mai You immediately smiled and said, "Sure, let's distribute them."

"Okay." Su Tianbei withdrew his gaze.

...

Less than two kilometers from Fifth Division headquarters, inside an apartment building.

Two young men, one squatting on the ground, one looking down and saying, "Lower yourself a bit, I'll ride your neck."

"Why can't I ride you?!" The person below asked.

"Don't you ride me every day?!" The person standing replied. "Stop dawdling, hurry up!"

"Come on, let's go!"

As soon as the words fell, the person standing straddled the neck of the person below. The two overlapped, reaching towards the ceiling.

"Move that thing of yours aside, it's all up in my collar!" The young man below cursed unhappily.
