Since this was a last-minute operation, they didn't plan to stay in Fishtail Village for long.
They simply had the villagers of Yuwei Village transport the antiques to the sea, where their ships would then haul them away.
Only then did the villagers who were with him speak up.
"Please stay close to us, our boats are moored at the seaside."
Two of them, however, did not join the group of villagers.
Instead, he followed Nozawa Ishian and watched these people transport the antiques.
Before these people could walk even twenty meters, soldiers surrounded them.
"Don't move! Hands up! You're all surrounded!"
As the loud voice rang out, the villagers who had no guns and were easily frightened, along with some of the people transporting the antiques, immediately covered their heads and squatted on the ground.
Ye Ze Shi An, along with Xue Tu, Wang Yi, and several others, immediately raised their guns to resist.
Taking advantage of the chaos, they did manage to fire a few shots.
However, before they could hit anyone, a sniper shot the guns out of their hands.
"Ah!" The group screamed in agony.
Only Nozawa Ishian ignored his hand injury and grabbed a villager from Uowei Village, holding his knife to the man's neck.
He huddled behind the villagers, not daring to show his face.
Meanwhile, the military personnel were methodically arranging manpower to confiscate weapons from those present.
They were instructed to squat down on the spot and put their hands behind their heads.
Xue Tu and Wang Yi were also among them. After their bleeding was stopped, they were tied up.
Only those around Nozawa Ishian, because he had hostages, could only make those people squat on the ground.
"Send someone to take me away right now, or I'll slash his neck."
Nozawa Ishian, who was holding the village chief of Yuwei Village, could naturally see that the Chinese military cared about the hostages in his hands.
Therefore, they took the lead in raising their own requirements.
The sniper was hesitant to fire, fearing the danger.
After all, from his angle, it would be very difficult to incapacitate Nozawa Ishiyasu without harming the hostage.
As mentioned above, they need to capture them alive, which is indeed a difficult situation for him.
Therefore, the military could only arrange for someone to negotiate with Nozawa Ishiyasu.
"What do you want us to do to release the hostages?"
"I want a sea ship, and I want him, that person on land, to take me out to sea."
"As long as you don't follow me, I will naturally let them go once we reach a safe location."
Nozawa Ishian is now pinning his hopes on the fact that his family's ship hasn't been discovered by the damned Chinese military.
Once he had shaken off the military personnel, he returned to his own ship.
It's like the sky is high enough for birds to fly and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap; the military can forget about catching up with him.
"You..." Just as he was about to say what he had been dreaming about, he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye and suddenly changed his mind.
He began to stall Nozawa Ishiyasu: "If we don't track him down, who knows if you'll let him come back?"
With his hands behind his back, he was also gesturing to a soldier next to him.
Those who received his message immediately focused their attention on Nozawa Ishian's surroundings.
If you want to save him, you must meet my demands, otherwise…
As soon as he finished speaking, the knife in his hand began to slit his throat, and blood flowed out.
"It's me, comrade, help me!"
Feeling the pain and warmth on his neck, Chen Jian cried out for help.
He originally thought that Nozawa Ishian wouldn't hurt him, but he didn't expect him to actually do it.
"Hurry up and do it..." Before he could finish speaking, he felt a gust of wind coming from behind him.
He instinctively tried to resist, and his hands released their grip on Chen Jian.
Meanwhile, the man who had been crouching on the ground with his head in his hands, and who had just been pointed at by Nozawa Ishian and told to steer the boat, saw that the situation was not good.
He immediately pulled out his gun, wanting to help Nozawa Ishian, and also wanted to hold Chen Jian down to continue being their hostage.
To his surprise, the military was prepared. Before he could even draw his gun, he was pinned to the ground and his weapon was confiscated.
Meanwhile, Chu Mingxu faced off against the injured Ye Ze Shi An and quickly ended the battle as well.
Upon seeing this, Xu Zhi, the person in charge of the operation, immediately arranged for people to take control of the individuals.
He also thanked Chu Mingxu, saying, "Thank you, comrade. You're the one Battalion Commander Yao mentioned who helped us complete the mission, right?"
"Hello, I am Chu Mingxu."
“We don’t know anything. We’re just villagers from Yuwei Village. You soldiers are supposed to protect us. Why are you arresting me?”
Seeing that the operation was over, the soldiers were about to take everyone present back for questioning.
Suddenly, some villagers broke free and shouted loudly.
He only knew that soldiers were there to protect them, so why were they being arrested?
"Heh, you should say that after we've investigated!"
Although they were lying in ambush at a distance, they could still see the situation clearly.
It's obvious that the villagers of Yuwei Village were aiding and abetting the evildoers by helping them transport the antiques.
How much they were involved, and how they should be convicted, will only be known after they are taken back for questioning.
Not only the villagers present, but everyone in the village must be investigated.
After watching this, Xu Zhi and Chu Mingxu remarked, "How come when they break the law, they don't think about being citizens of China and having to abide by the law?"
"Oh, by the way, Comrade Chu, thank you for your help today. But how did you figure out that person was suspicious?"
Xu Zhiwen was referring to the person who tried to attack others at the last moment but was ultimately subdued by their warriors.
