A vehicle roared on the quiet streets under the nightscape.

The bald man from the Pink Leopard had extraordinary driving skills, but facing the bumpy road, he could only curse out, constantly. Even if he stepped on the gas, the car couldn’t run any quicker.

“Didn’t you say that we’ll be able to get on the main road from the one back then?” The bald man had lost his confidence for the blond man at this moment.

The blond man was covered in sweat as he stuttered, “I-I underestimated that hacker’s capability. Not only did he steal our data, he even altered the GPS navigation system.”

“Idiot!” The bald man instantly understood the blond man’s words and jammed on the breaks before he roared, “Get out! We’ve fallen for a trap!”

Without the navigation system, they’re blinded in a foreign country. As they got out of the vehicle, they swiftly took up a defensive formation. There weren’t any households nearby since the hacker misled them to a remote outskirt. This was also the other party’s objective since there might be an intense confrontation, so they were directed to a remote destination to prevent unnecessary implication of civilians.

The bald man ordered a skinny subordinate to scout ahead. But roughly five minutes later, that subordinate did not return. When the bald man wanted to give a call to his subordinate, he ultimately gave up. If it goes according to his expectations, that subordinate must have been captured.

After going through so many difficult operations, the bald man was used to escaping. But this time, he had a foreboding that they would capsize here. After all, they’re in an unfamiliar environment, and the other party was in the dark while they’re in the light. They had absolutely no advantage at all.

“Get in the car; we’ll go back from where we came from!” The bald man instantly gave out an astonishing order.

But even if only five of them were left, they still moved efficiently. They immediately entered the vehicle and the bald man made a sharp turnabout. He no longer followed the navigation but drove according to his memory.

At this life-and-death moment, he no longer believed in technology. He only trusted in his intuition.

The officers who were hidden instantly felt that something was amiss. The robbers were about to fall into the trap that was just fifty meters away, but they had alarmed them by capturing the scout. Hence, the robbers turned around and drove from where they came from.

“They’ve already noticed the trap, and there’s no point for us to guard here. Move out immediately! If they manage to capture hostages along the way, the situation will get more complicated. Inform our reserved colleagues to be cautious and set obstructions on the road. Don’t engage in a direct confrontation.” Jiang Qinghan calmly analysed.

While Jiang Qinghan was making an analysis, the bald man drove while ransacking his brain, thinking of a method to escape, and getting a hostage was naturally his first option. It would be the best method available if they managed to get a hostage and force the other party to retreat.

However, they were too deeply misguided by the navigation system. This was a barren land without any people. At the same time, a commotion also came from their rear as lights dispelled the darkness. The bald man could only grit his teeth and step on the gas, causing the car to jump about from the bumpy ride. Everyone in the vehicle also wore grave expressions.

When the bald man saw obstructions on the road up ahead, he cursed. But not only did he not slow down, he even stepped on it.

A violent collision struck everyone with dizziness, but the bald man managed to focus his attention. At this moment, they would be doomed if they take a breather for even a moment.

The personnel who were involved in the roadblock were all in a mess. A few of them laid on the ground, helplessly groaning. Just when someone in the car wound down the window, wanting to shoot at the police officers, the bald man hollered, “Stop!”

That man was briefly stunned before he was surprised because their team has never been lenient in their mission.

However, the bald man had his considerations. Judging from the current situation, it wouldn’t be easy for them to escape, so it’s wise if they could try to not injure anyone. Otherwise, if they were captured, the consequences would be dire.

The bald man stopped the car and looked around before he saw a male officer lying on the ground. He raised his gun and shot the latter’s leg, which made the male officer yell out in pain. However, when the officer tried to take out his gun, he was shot by the bald man in his wrist with a second bullet.

Thereafter, the bald man fired a few more shots, rendering the other officers powerless. Finding a car nearby, he scattered the window with his fist and pointed his gun at the female officer in the front passenger seat. “Get out!”

The female officer understood English, and she knew that she could only comply under this situation.

In this brief instant, the police vehicles from before caught up and surrounded the robbers.

“Captain, they took a hostage!” Zhang Zhen instantly became anxious and cursed, “Despicable scum, they actually took a woman as a hostage!”

From the criminal’s view, hostages were best if they’re old, weak, or female. Firstly, this category of people didn’t have much ability to retaliate, and they’re also the weaker bunch. So during negotiations, they would be able to obtain the other party’s sympathy.

“Find out about the casualties and see who’s being held as a hostage!” Jiang Qinghan swiftly ordered.

Zhang Zhen immediately went to understand the situation. At the same time, he arranged a negotiation specialist over. This time, the police were well-prepared and considered many factors.

The negotiation specialist took a loudspeaker as he spoke in English, “You guys are already trapped, and surrender is your only option. Don’t increase any casualties, or it will only increase your crimes.”

“Give me a seven-seater car, and I’ll not kill anyone!” The bald man hollered.

Their vehicle was wrecked when they charged through the roadblock. There were a few police vehicles nearby, but they were too eye-catching. Right now, they needed a powerful car that they could escape with before finding their organisation’s contact to leave China.

“Got it!” Zhang Zhen was surprised and replied, “The hostage isn’t an officer in Hanzhou City, and there’s nothing on her.”

“What?” Jiang Qinghan was surprised as she looked at Zhang Zhen.

All of a sudden, the hostage acted. The bald man suddenly felt a numbing sensation under his arm, so he yelled out in pain. But before he could even react, he was kicked in the chin by the woman. The force behind that kick was so powerful that it was akin to a hammer to his nervous system, instantly rendering him dizzy as he staggered.

In the eyes of the other robbers, their captain looked like he was drunk as his body swayed. While the bald man’s bulky figure fell to the ground, a silhouette flashed into the smashed up police vehicle. The bald man’s gun was also in her hand and she started firing, instantly causing a chain reaction with the members of Pink Leopard beginning to drop to the ground.

No one expected that such a feeble-looking woman would be so skilled.

The sound of bullets exiting the muzzle fired continuously. The firepower wasn’t clustered together, but the bullets were fired with a rhythm, suppressing the five robbers. Her aim was accurate with every bullet making them feel as if they’d just brushed shoulders with death.

They instantly realised that the other party did not intend on killing them, she’s trying to capture them alive.

Holding onto a pistol, the blond man’s palm was covered in sweat. He never expected that his hacking skills, which he was so proud of, would be so worthless. The other party had taken the initiative and set up such a trap for them.

When a groan resounded from his companion beside him, he swiftly reacted and aimed his pistol. However, he suffered a kick to his wrist, and in the blink of an eye, he had a gun aimed at his brain.

It was a muscular Chinese man who spoke in Mandarin, “What a fool. The safety isn’t even unlocked!”

The blond man was the brain of the team, and he’s only responsible for planning. Since he’s not required to directly participate in the mission, he had no experience with guns.

The five of them were swiftly captured. Jiang Qinghan felt relieved when she heard that it was now safe. She then saw a man and woman walking over with five people.

“We’re personnel of the province’s Public Security Bureau, and here’s the verification for our identity!” Tang Shi took out her identity.

Jiang Qinghan had met Tang Shi and Hei Jin back in Russia, and she knew that they’re here to ensure Su Tao’s safety. So it was entirely logical for them to be here since these robbers were targeting Su Tao.

“We’re handing them over to you, so our mission is complete!” Tang Shi smiled as if she was a completely different person from the woman who was fighting earlier.

“Thank you for your assistance!” Jiang Qinghan sighed.

She felt as if she had been controlled in this operation. From the beginning to the end, there seemed to be an invisible hand controlling the entire process. At the same time, she felt as if she couldn’t see through her disciple, Su Tao, anymore.

Recalling how Su Tao seemed harmless before her, it’s hard to imagine that he could be so scheming and plan everything.

For Su Tao, the more resources he controls, the better he could control the situation. Just the incident with the Love Representative Charity Funds and Pink Leopard proved that Su Tao was starting to show his strategic ability.

A genuine expert did not need to go on the battlefield, they only had to rely on their brain to achieve their objective.

With this incident coming to an end, this auction was done with a perfect closure. At the same time, the police made use of this auction to capture an infamous international criminal organisation.

As the person in charge of this operation, Jiang Qinghan had once again obtained the merit for it!
