Chapter 208 Firefight
Huadi and Zhu Huabiao quickly gathered their gear, their expressions serious and focused. Once everything was ready, they dashed towards the target restaurant without hesitation.
While running down the street, Hua Di maintained a brisk pace while pulling out his cell phone and calling Li Wenbin and Jiang Dawei. Once the call was connected, he provided them with crucial information about the gang members in clear and concise language. According to the film's plot, the gang members were here to rob the Interpol warehouse, and they had chosen this restaurant specifically to target the Interpol director.
Before long, Huadi and Zhu Huabiao arrived at the restaurant's entrance. Huadi, gripping his AR-15 rifle tightly, turned to Zhu Huabiao, who was also holding a Remington, and spoke calmly, "We don't know the exact situation inside yet, but one thing is certain: if we charge in fully armed, we'll inevitably alert the criminals and cause the civilians present to panic and scream, leading to a situation that spirals out of control. So, once we enter the restaurant, we must immediately take action to control the situation. I believe you have more experience than I do in this area, so you will be the lead commander of this operation."
Zhu Huabiao couldn't help but feel a bit surprised when he heard Huadi's words. He had never expected that Huadi, his superior, would so decisively hand over command to a junior officer like him. However, after a brief moment of shock, Zhu Huabiao quickly recovered and nodded solemnly, "Okay! Don't worry, Huadi, I will never let you down!" At this moment, he had made up his mind. No matter how difficult and dangerous the situation, he would give his all to complete the mission and fulfill his mission.
Wah Di walked into the restaurant with a steady gait, his eyes instantly drawn to the scene before him—a ferocious, hairy-faced thug holding a gleaming pistol, the muzzle pointed directly at the Interpol director. For a moment, time seemed to freeze, and the air around them grew heavy.
However, Hua Di showed no hesitation or fear. His eyes flashed, and with lightning speed, he drew the pistol from his waist, aimed at the thug's head, and pulled the trigger without hesitation. With a loud "bang," the bullet whizzed out, hitting the thug's head with unerring precision. Blood splattered everywhere, his brain splattered, and the thug fell to the ground with a thud.
Huadi's sudden shot was like a thunderbolt piercing the sky, catching everyone present off guard. The gangsters stared with wide eyes, stunned, having never expected someone to act so boldly.
Before they could recover, Zhu Huabiao decisively opened fire. Unlike Huadi, he wielded a powerful shotgun. Concerned about the potential for casualties, Zhu Huabiao chose his target carefully—he aimed his gun at the thug tucked away in the corner. With a roar, countless tiny pellets erupted, raining down upon the thug, leaving him defenseless.
At the same moment, Wah Di fired his second shot. His movements were fluid and seamless, once again showcasing his exceptional marksmanship and calm judgment. This shot flew directly at the criminal standing across from the Interpol director, piercing his body and drawing a trail of blood.
The portly Interpol officer's reaction was astonishingly quick. The moment the gunshot rang out, he quickly pulled his wife to his side and ducked under the dining table, successfully dodging the volley of bullets.
Zhu Huabiao kept scanning the restaurant, not missing a single corner. He knew there were other thugs hiding there, especially the one who had sung Peking Opera to him in the police station. He had to find and subdue him as soon as possible.
At this critical moment, Zhu Huabiao's good friend and former colleague, A'long, raised his gun without hesitation and stood up to help Zhu Huabiao control the situation. However, before he stood up, out of concern for his teammates' safety and to avoid possible accidental injuries, he shouted at Zhu Huabiao at the top of his voice, identifying himself and his purpose.
Only two ruthless criminals remained in the restaurant. Faced with the rapidly deteriorating situation, their nerves were on edge, filled with fear and anxiety. They had carefully planned this attack, aiming to unexpectedly kill the portly Interpol director. Their motivation was partly to avenge a blood feud, and partly to seize his hand, which would unlock the door to the warehouse where valuable items were stored. But now, they knew their mission was hopeless, and the priority was to save their own lives!
The two thugs were so panicked that they quickly followed the example of the panicked crowd and hid under the table. At the same time, they secretly observed the surrounding situation, waiting for an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos and escape through the back door of the restaurant.
Although the situation was temporarily under control, it was clear that this state of affairs could not be maintained for long. To completely resolve the crisis, they had to race against time to apprehend the two hidden criminals. Since Huadi had already handed over full command of the scene to Zhu Huabiao, A-Long was determined to firmly support Zhu Huabiao to the end. So, he turned to Zhu Huabiao and shouted, "A-Biao, what should we do next?"
Zhu Huabiao now had only two options. One was to order everyone to remain hidden under the table and patiently await the arrival of reinforcements. They had already sent a distress signal to headquarters, and reliable sources indicated that reinforcements would arrive within ten minutes. This strategy offered the advantage of being a safe and reliable one. Even if the vicious criminals managed to escape, or if they desperately seized hostages, Zhu Huabiao would not be solely responsible. After all, they had already successfully killed three of the criminals and rescued the crucial Interpol director.
However, there was another option Zhu Huabiao could consider: racking his brains to devise a method to force the criminals to reveal themselves as quickly as possible. The greatest benefit of this approach would naturally be the flawless completion of the rescue operation's objectives. However, the corresponding disadvantage was also obvious. If the situation spiraled out of control and the criminals successfully abducted the hostages, it would undoubtedly be attributed to Zhu Huabiao's command errors. If this mistake were to occur again, not only would he lose his position as patrol sergeant, but even as a regular police officer, he might not be able to continue his duties.
Zhu Huabiao's mind raced, and he instantly devised a plan. He gazed at A'long with a sharp gaze, then spoke calmly and forcefully, "A'long, take your brothers and rush to the back door to guard it! We must not let any of the bandits escape!" A'long understood and nodded without hesitation, "Understood!" Then, he swiftly led his men towards the back door at lightning speed.
After arranging A-Long's side, Zhu Huabiao turned to look at Huadi beside him and said seriously: "Sir Liu, let's divide the work and start from this gate. I will safely transfer the citizens one by one, and you must concentrate on the vigilance work. As soon as you notice those gangsters showing signs of resistance, shoot immediately and show no mercy!" Huadi nodded solemnly, indicating that he was clear about the task requirements.
After everything was arranged, Zhu Huabiao took a deep breath and then shouted to the frightened people in the restaurant: "Everyone, please stay calm and don't panic! Now listen to my command and sit still. When I come to you, you will evacuate from here in an orderly manner through the gate. But before that, if anyone dares to stand up without permission, we can only regard him as a dangerous element in the gang of gangsters, and don't blame us for shooting without mercy! I hope everyone can actively cooperate and overcome this difficulty together!" His voice was loud and majestic, which made people feel awe.
