Chapter 316: Your Actions Constitute a Major Criminal Offense! (2)
This undoubtedly indicates that Cheng Jiashu is already keenly aware of the true situation outside the orphanage being heavily surrounded.
Station Chief Feng could no longer hold his composure and took the initiative to request instructions:
"Minister, it seems now that the target is determined to hole up inside. What should we do next?"
Luo Lie took a deep breath, forcing down the impatience in his heart.
He understood that prolonging the delay would only be detrimental.
Tonight's inclement weather, although causing many inconveniences, conveniently served as a natural barrier.
Maximizing the concealment of traces, minimizing the impact, and avoiding prematurely attracting the attention of the police and the Special Search Team.
If the stalemate continued, not only would the target Cheng Jiashu's vigilance increase, but he might even take unforeseen measures, dramatically escalating the difficulty of capture.
More importantly, such a grand array, once it alarmed official forces, especially the hardline-styled Special Search Team.
Not only could the operation be doomed to failure, but even the entire East Capital Branch would plunge into trouble.
Luo Lie raised his wrist, glancing at the ghostly glowing hands on his watch.
Time was already late.
A trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he no longer hesitated.
"Notify everyone, prepare to attack!"
"Target, Chenxi Home Orphanage!"
Luo Lie's eyebrows arched like two drawn swords.
He then made a decisive gesture.
"Synchronize your time now, three minutes to eleven o'clock sharp!"
"When the time arrives, everyone acts together, swiftly eliminate the target, quick attack and resolution, leave no one alive on the scene!"
As the words fell, a silent sense of urgency quickly permeated.
The rain poured down like a waterfall.
In the surroundings of Chenxi Home, in every concealed corner.
Figures clad in raincoats crouched silently, like leopards in the dark night.
They were the elites of the Noah Organization, their cold weapons gleaming with deadly iciness in the rain.
Behind the newsstand at the street corner.
On the roof terrace of the building opposite.
Within the compartment of the inconspicuous truck parked by the roadside.
Even at the edge of the dense woods behind the orphanage.
Every possible exit, every vantage point with an open view, was firmly under their control.
These people were patiently waiting.
Waiting for Cheng Jiashu, whom they saw as prey, to walk out of the seemingly safe iron gate.
When the attack order was transmitted to each action group through secure communicators.
Everyone's gaze unconsciously turned towards the time on their wrists.
The cold numbers stood out prominently in the dark.
..................
In an alley a few hundred meters from the orphanage.
The squad led by Xu Hao and Ma Biao also received the same orders.
Rainwater dripped from the brim of Xu Hao's raincoat hood.
His right hand discreetly reached into his pants pocket.
In an unnoticed instant, his fingertips lightly pressed a miniature device.
A faint special signal was quietly sent out.
Meanwhile, on a further outer street.
Inside a nondescript van, the atmosphere was equally tense.
Gao Jin sat in the driver's seat, his sharp eyes fixed on a distant building.
Suddenly, a faint buzzing sound came through the headset.
"Signal received."
His eyes sharpened, and he immediately ordered through the walkie-talkie, in a deep voice:
"All units, take note, the target is about to act, prepare for capture!"
In the compartment, other members of the Special Search Team in black combat suits suddenly bolstered their spirits upon hearing the order.
Click—click—
In an instant, the sound of firearms clinking and bolts being drawn resonated in the cramped space.
Among them were Zhou Liang and Ali, who had suffered losses under Fang Cheng previously.
Ali flexed his wrist, making a crackling sound of his joints, and muttered dully:
"Damn it, it's finally happening, waited all night, about to explode!"
Zhou Liang appeared more composed, checking his gun at his waist, his eyes flashing sharply in thought:
"This time, I must redeem myself, capture several of Noah's bastards, and strive to perform well in front of Chief Gao."
The task message they received was to prevent a potential terrorist attack on innocent civilians.
And the Noah Organization was the prey they must capture tonight.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
As a multi-faceted clandestine hunt was about to unfold amidst the torrential rain.
Within Chenxi Home Orphanage, all remained silent.
In the dark corridor, only the occasional lightning outside could bring a moment of ghastly white light.
The raging wind mixed with the torrential rain violently whipped the glass windows, creating a heart-stopping "clang," "clang" sound.
Cheng Jiashu walked alone in this unlit corridor.
As lightning illuminated the night.
His silhouette and the swaying tree shadows outside were cast on the wall, stretched into clawing phantoms.
Moments ago, Cheng Jiashu was quietly guarding inside the orphanage's hall.
Relying on his far superior senses, he keenly perceived the anomalies in the rainy night outside.
Several faint prying gazes and footsteps mixed within the sound of wind and rain, deliberately suppressed to a whisper.
Someone had infiltrated!
Cheng Jiashu's heart tightened, knowing the other party finally made their move.
So, he immediately held his breath and concentrated, following the perceived source of anomalies, quietly leaving the hall, searching for the intruders hidden in the darkness.
