Back to what we were saying earlier, on Nie Zhao's side.
Upon hearing that Sir James was heading towards Tamar, Nie Zhao immediately informed Chen Rou: "Arou, retreat quickly!"
Chen Rou paused for two seconds, then said, "Ah Zhao, hand the phone to Nie Jiajun."
Nie Jiajun was actually listening, and immediately said, "Xiniang, I'm here."
Chen Rou said, "I can't leave right now because I need to set off an explosion here. You need to coordinate with Song Zai to notify Chen Ke and Huo Qi. No matter what, you must give me 5 minutes."
Nie Jiajun frowned, and Nie Zhao said decisively, "No, Arou, retreat immediately."
He understood her intentions. She was afraid that with the intelligence station exposed, the British army would destroy the files. Moreover, she had carried explosives with her when she left. She wanted to blow up the place first, then lure the police in to protect the evidence.
Nie Zhao objected to this because his world was never black and white, but rather gray.
All he wants is for his wife to come out safely and return home safely.
But it was no use; there was no response from Chen Rou, but Nie Jiayu raised his hand and said, "I should be able to."
He used a desktop computer, but he also had two laptops. He clicked the mouse to turn on the desktop computer, then turned on the two laptops. He slid his chair to the side and looked at his uncle: "This is real-time monitoring of the police system. Give it a try."
Nie Zhao knew less about computers than his two nephews, which was why he insisted they study the electronics industry.
Nie Jiajun's ability to download things from the CIA's intranet can be considered a sign that he has mastered the skill.
But as far as Nie Zhao knew, all Nie Jiayu did was create cartoon characters and cartoons. What else could he do?
But after only a second of hesitation, Nie Zhao said, "Wade, tell everyone not to hang up or delay. My requirement is 10 minutes. No matter what, we must buy Arou 10 minutes to retreat."
He gave his two nephews a chance, but at the same time, he made a solemn promise: he didn't want 5 minutes, but 10 minutes.
Because no matter what, he had to give Chen Rou enough time to retreat.
Nie Jiajun slid his swivel chair, and with a snap, the printer started spitting out paper. What came out were photos of the vehicles of the several superintendents who had just left the police station with Sir James.
He held up a photograph and said, "If we can stop them, we can buy time for Xi Niang, right?"
...
Let's talk about Huo Qi again.
Sir James just said he was going home, so he's going to the dock to meet up with Chen Ke and the others.
A person may not be smart, but he cannot be careless.
It was precisely because he was cautious that he prevented problems before they occurred.
Of course, the fuse was planted by Chen Rou, which is the same listening device she later installed for Lieutenant Colonel Wali.
Originally, the wiretapping should have ended when Huo Qi went to the mainland.
But after he came back, he bought a new radio, tuned it to the right channel, and would eavesdrop from time to time.
Just now, when he switched to the channel, he happened to hear Sir James calling Lieutenant Colonel Wally, asking where he was, and where Colonel Rango was and what he was doing.
Coincidentally, much like the butterfly effect, because the mainland soldiers were digging all night, making so much noise that Colonel Rango couldn't sleep, he naturally didn't come himself. But he sent Lieutenant Colonel Wali to Central to patrol the area at night.
Because Lieutenant Colonel Wali was in Central, the eavesdropping distance was just right, and Huo Qi overheard it.
But because Lieutenant Colonel Wally told the truth, Sir James became suspicious and turned his car around to go to the military base as well.
If he goes there, won't Chen Rou be trapped on the spot and caught like a turtle in a jar?
They dared not use radios, and of course, they couldn't use radios at such a distance, so they could only use cell phones.
However, mobile phones can only make one-way calls and not multiple calls, so Huo Qi could only inform Nie Zhao of the message so that he could distribute it.
Meanwhile, on his way from Repulse Bay to Central, Sir James was driving while frantically making phone calls, summoning his officers who were also heading home, and urging them to hurry to Tamar.
Huo Qi made a U-turn on the road and rushed to Repulse Bay, intending to intercept Sir James halfway there.
But as he was walking, Wade's voice came through his earpiece: "Hoss, turn around right now, Superintendent John is right across from you."
This is a two-way four-lane road with a median strip in the middle.
Huo Qi was unaware of the reason, but he didn't need to turn around. He drove onto the median strip in advance, and with a whoosh, he was already on the opposite side of the road. It was midnight, 12 o'clock, and there were an unusually large number of cars on the road, all speeding along. Suddenly, he saw a motorcycle emerge from the bushes, and all the cars were honking their horns wildly. Huo Qi drifted and sped forward.
As he ran, he shouted, "I've turned around, but I don't see his car."
Wade paused for a few seconds, then immediately said, "Behind you, he's right behind you, one, two..."
Indeed, Huo Qi saw it in the rearview mirror. It was John, a senior superintendent of the O-Team Political Department, driving a Land Rover. John lived in Siu Sai Wan, and he had just gone home, but he turned around, so he must be going to Tamar Park.
Let's ignore Sir James for now and deal with this immediate problem first.
There's a traffic light 50 meters ahead, but even late at night, there wasn't much traffic at the intersection.
Moreover, if Huo Qi could pass at a constant speed, Superintendent John could also pass, but Huo Qi cannot let him pass today.
When it comes to really playing with motorcycles, Huo Qi's skills are no less than Chen Rou's.
So he floored the accelerator, accelerated past the car in front, and then suddenly braked, forcing the Ferrari to brake hard as well.
Just before the collision, Huo Qi deftly swerved, narrowly missing the Ferrari, but then turned around and came back.
