Chapter 1 Around Eight O'Clock in the Evening

Around eight o'clock in the evening, near the Lundo Hotel, Su Tiannan sat in a dilapidated van, reached out and lifted the curtain blocking the window, turning his head to look around.

"Number One!" Just then, a call came from the headset.

"Speak!" Su Tiannan immediately responded.

"Target appears, six bulletproof SUVs." The observation team along the way immediately responded: "Can't see how many people are inside, estimated to arrive at the hotel in three minutes."

"Received, continue to observe the perimeter."

"Received!"

The two ended the communication, and Su Tiannan immediately adjusted the walkie-talkie frequency and whispered, "Lao Liu, the target is about to enter, get ready."

"Understood!" Liu Tao sat in the hotel lobby, wearing an expensive suit and a pair of gentle metal-rimmed glasses, looking like a socialite.

About three or four minutes later, six SUVs arrived at the hotel entrance, and a dark-skinned, fifty-something middle-aged man with a straight back pushed the door open and got out of the car.

He was the protagonist today, Pussen. Yorlson, the actual head of the Bana City Coast Guard.

Tagu's subordinates had a simple goal in winning over Pussen: in Bana City, apart from the Blackwater Corps, the police system, and the security system, only the Coast Guard could be considered an armed force capable of causing turmoil. The Yorlson family had also been involved in the canal industry for many years, and they had a strong influence in various ports and had also raised many armed personnel that could not be brought to the table.

For all of the above reasons, as long as Tagu obtained the definite support of the Yorlson family, the position of Chief of Staff would basically be his. Because Bana City relies on the canal line as its main economic pillar industry, the Coast Guard's armed forces are naturally quite large, even more numerous than the police system and better equipped.

Pussen got out of the car and walked into the hotel lobby with more than twenty security members.

As soon as they entered, the security personnel in suits immediately dispersed around, expressionlessly blocking other tourists nearby, and specially emptied the elevator twice before allowing Pussen to enter.

Before 7:30, all the security members involved in protecting Pussen did not know the mission and location for tonight. The upper levels also cautiously blocked the news in order to better protect the boss's safety.

After Pussen and others entered the elevator in three batches, the remaining security personnel in the lobby immediately scattered, standing at various entrances to the upper floors to observe.

In the sofa area a little further away, Liu Tao drank red wine and said into his headset in a low voice, "There's no opportunity. They left six people downstairs. If we go upstairs together, we might get called out and searched."

Su Tiannan paused for a moment, "Wait a little longer, we can also wait for them to come out."

"I'll go upstairs myself later," Liu Tao said in a low voice, "to see the security situation on the upper floor."

"No, don't go in." Su Tiannan immediately responded, "Just sit there. I'll have the insider pick me up in the lobby later, it'll look smoother that way."

"Okay!" Liu Tao responded.

Inside the van, Su Tiannan turned his head to look around and adjusted the frequency again, shouting, "Observation team, take a circle around to see if they have any security members hidden in the dark."

"Received!"

"Received!"

…

Hotel 11th floor, business banquet area.

Pussen led a group of people to the entrance of the corridor, reaching out to one of Tagu's subordinates and saying, "I hope that after tonight, Bana City can return to peace."

"Of course, everything will return to peace."

The two shook hands, and Pussen followed the other into the conference room.

"Pa pa pa!"

The five Blackwater Corps officers sitting in the conference room all stood up and applauded.

Pussen waved to the crowd, nodding with a smile, "Gentlemen, please sit down."

Beside him, the middle-aged man who entered with Pussen whispered to him, "Mr. Karl will be here soon."

The owner of this hotel is the intermediary for the two parties to meet, which is why they chose to meet here secretly.

…

Five minutes later.

A young woman in a hotel staff uniform walked out of the elevator. She was about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old and had an Asian face.

As soon as the young woman got off the elevator, Su Tiannan, in disguise, walked in from the main entrance.

"Mr. Zhang, this way please!" The young woman spoke with a slight island accent, gesturing with her hand.

Su Tiannan nodded to her and walked towards the elevator.

At the entrance of the corridor, a black security guard brought by Pussen saw the two walking towards the stairwell and immediately greeted them, reaching out to stop them, "Sir, Madam, I need to see your identification."

Su Tiannan glanced at the other party impatiently and replied in English, "Why should I show you my identification?"

The security guard took out his Coast Guard ID, pointed to the walkie-talkie on his chest and replied, "We are from the Coast Guard unit, sir, please cooperate."

"Mr. Zhang, please cooperate, there are important officials upstairs," the young woman persuaded.

Su Tiannan frowned and took out his ID and handed it to the other party, while the young woman also handed over her work permit.

The black security member verified the IDs of the two, communicated with the people upstairs through his headset, and then nodded to let them pass, "Go in!"

After a while, the two entered the elevator and went upstairs.

"There are security people in the monitoring room, don't talk to me." The young woman said in a low voice, keeping her head down.

Su Tiannan turned his head to look at the mirror on the elevator wall, facing away from the camera and asked, "How did you sneak in in just two days?"

"Replaced a waitress," she replied succinctly.

Su Tiannan didn't say anything more, looking up at the elevator door, seeing that the indicator light showed the tenth floor.

"Boom!!"

At this moment, an explosion sounded in the hotel without warning.

The sudden and violent shaking caused Su Tiannan and the young woman to crash into the elevator wall together.

Having been violently impacted, the two fainted briefly.

A strong smell of gunpowder came, and screams of despair erupted upstairs.

…

Downstairs.

Liu Tao, who was waiting for news, suddenly stood up, seeing the security members downstairs rushing towards the stairwell like crazy.

Liu Tao paused briefly, then immediately walked towards the door, "What's going on? What happened?!"

Inside the observation team's car outside the hotel, a middle-aged man stared blankly at the fire on the 11th floor, "…Some… someone was one step ahead, the floor where the target was located exploded, it's all fire."

"Damn it!"

Liu Tao cursed angrily, "Prepare for rescue, our boss just went upstairs!"

"Squeak, squeak!"

As soon as he finished speaking, three vans stopped at the door, and more than twenty masked armed men rushed out of the cars.

Liu Tao was stunned for a moment, and instantly realized that this must be a third force that sent people to finish the job after the explosion.

Things are complicated!
