Chapter 308 The target may have been exposed!
Night fell like a thick, black velvet cloth, completely enveloping the Hainan Island Military Region compound.
Gu Beixiao stood at his front door, carrying a heavy black suitcase.
He opened the box, took one last look at the neatly stacked bricks inside, and then slammed it shut.
His face showed no sign of tension, only a resolute determination as he prepared to step onto the battlefield.
Su Yue said this was an opportunity for him to make a name for himself, and also the best chance to wipe out those rats hiding in the gutter. He trusted her as much as he trusted the steel gun in his hand on the battlefield.
The old street in the west of the city, in the night, is like a dying old dog, silent and still.
The abandoned alley at the end was so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, and the air was filled with the sour smell of rotting garbage.
Gu Beixiao stood at the entrance of the alley, his tall figure resembling a javelin, standing out from the surrounding darkness.
Time passed by, second by second.
Suddenly, several stray cats hissed from the depths of the alley. Immediately afterward, several dark figures emerged silently from the darkness like ghosts and quickly approached him.
"Did you bring the goods?" The leader of the shadowy figures lowered his voice, the gleaming dagger in his hand flashing coldly in the dim moonlight.
Gu Beixiao didn't say anything, but simply lifted the briefcase in his hand a little further.
Just as those dark figures pounced on him like hungry wolves, a sudden change occurred!
"Don't move!"
"Security Department!"
At both ends of the alley, a dozen bright searchlights suddenly blazed on, illuminating the entire alley as if it were daytime!
Dozens of heavily armed security officers descended from the sky with lightning speed. Several dull thuds and the cracking of bones dislocating were heard. The thugs who had just been so fierce were now pinned to the ground, their faces pressed painfully against the cold floor.
The entire process takes no more than ten seconds.
The head of the security officers walked up to Gu Beixiao and saluted.
Gu Beixiao opened the briefcase without changing his expression.
In front of everyone, a box of neatly stacked red bricks was prominently displayed.
One of the thugs, who was pinned to the ground, was stunned by what he saw. He then realized he had been tricked and started yelling like a floodgate of beans before the officers could even begin to torture him.
"It wasn't us! We don't know anything! It was Fang Jianxing! He contacted us, saying there was life-saving medicine in here, and told us to come and steal it, promising each of us a hundred yuan after we succeeded!"
Another thug cried out in agreement, "Yes! It's Fang Jianxing! We were tricked too! Please spare our lives, sir!"
The security officers exchanged glances; everything was going as expected.
The lead officer waved his hand and coldly ordered, "Take them all away! Second group, immediately arrest Fang Jianxing and Nurse Wang! Third group, come with me to Qian Fen's house!"
A swift and decisive arrest operation unfolded in the quiet of the night.
When Qian Fen's bedroom door was kicked open, she was wearing headphones, cowering under the bed like a frightened mouse, urgently reporting to a small radio in a trembling voice.
"Calling 01, calling 01! The situation has changed; the target may have been exposed! Please advise, please advise!"
A crackling sound came from the radio, followed by a cold male voice: "Useless! Continue surveillance and find out the results of the operation!"
However, he never received a reply from Qian Fen.
Two tall security officers dragged her out from under the bed like a chick.
When the cold handcuffs clicked and locked onto her wrists, Qian Fen's body instantly went limp and collapsed.
"I...I don't know anything...I was just...just passing on a message..."
The loud noise woke up all the neighbors in the compound.
When Qian Fen was led out of her house, the yard was already full of military wives peeking out.
They were all speechless with shock when they saw this gossipy woman, who usually loved to spread rumors and spread rumors, now looking disheveled and miserable.
"Isn't this Qian Fen? What did she do wrong?"
"Judging by this, they're from the security department! My God, have they been arrested for being spies?"
The disdainful, shocked, and gloating whispers were like countless tiny needles pricking Qian Fen. Her face turned a deep purplish-red, and she wished she could disappear into the ground.
Just then, the crowd automatically parted to make way.
Su Yue carried her son, Gu Ping'an, and slowly walked over.
There was no trace of the satisfaction of revenge on her face; it was as calm as a bottomless ancient well. Only the dark circles under her eyes betrayed her exhaustion over the past few days.
When Qian Fen saw Su Yue, it was as if she had seen a lifeline, or as if she had seen the Grim Reaper who was about to bring her to her death.
Her mental defenses completely collapsed at that moment. She broke free from the officer's restraint and knelt down in front of Su Yue with a thud, crying and sobbing uncontrollably.
"Su Yue! Su Yue, I was wrong! I was bewitched! I was just confused for a moment, wanting to make some money! I really didn't know things would get this serious!"
She clung to Su Yue's leg, wailing, "For the sake of how long we've been neighbors, please talk to them and let me go! I have children at home! I promise I'll never do it again! I swear! I'll do anything for you!"
The military wives around them were all stunned.
Su Yue lowered her head and quietly looked at the woman at her feet who was crying without any dignity, without saying a word.
Gu Ping'an, who was in her arms, seemed to be disturbed by the noise and shifted uneasily.
Su Yue gently patted her son's back before speaking in a voice so soft it was almost inaudible, yet so clear it sent chills down the spines of everyone present.
"I'll let you go?"
Her voice was completely flat, yet it carried a chilling coldness.
"My husband who sacrificed his life, and those soldiers who went down with him to the bottom of the sea, who will spare them?"
One sentence, like a bolt of lightning from the heavens, struck Qian Fen squarely on the head.
Her crying stopped abruptly, she froze, her face drained of color, leaving only a deathly ashen white.
She finally realized in despair that the seemingly weak woman in front of her was not someone she could beg for mercy from.
She's finished.
It's completely over.
The security officer dragged Qian Fen, who was limp as a rag doll, away, and the crowd gradually dispersed.
Just then, Gu Ping'an, who had been quietly staying in Su Yue's arms, suddenly stretched out his chubby little finger and pointed to the radio that had been seized as evidence in the hand of an officer.
Two words were clearly uttered from his small mouth.
"Bad...water..."
Su Yue's heart skipped a beat!
She immediately called out to the officer, "Wait a minute!"
