Zeng Dan and Shi Zhengmin locked eyes for a moment, clearly sensing something was off.

But Gu Ji noticed a change in Jingshang Gaoming’s expression as well.

"Leader Xu, I’ll stay here with Mrs. Qiou to escort Liu Meiling. You and Mr. Gu continue chasing Liangben, we must rescue Jian Na!"

"Don’t worry!"

Shi Zhengmin readily agreed. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Chen Zhiyu only glanced at Gu Ji’s back. Although she was worried, it was clearly not the time to be sentimental, "Ms. Liu Meiling, I’m Officer Qiou from Ningzhou City Bureau in Xia Kingdom..."

"Fuck, Liu Meiling has been rescued by the police. What do we do now?"

Outside the platform, at the washroom entrance.

Baron hid behind a wall, looking at the chaotic platform and train, gritting his teeth anxiously.

"Jian Na is still in their hands, and we have a task to investigate Liangben and Abe Shigehide. We need to capture a key figure for interrogation."

Wa Xueming lowered his hat brim, squinting his eyes, "I checked the fire escape maps of Rokkai Station on our way here. It’s an underground island station with many maintenance access points between the platform and tunnel. Follow me, we know a shortcut."

Glancing at the text translation on his phone.

Baron subconsciously murmured to himself, "I didn’t expect this fat guy to have such investigative instincts."

Whoosh, whoosh...

In the tunnel, Gu Ji and his group followed behind the SAT officers with shields, surrounded by the sound of rushing wind. The tunnel was not large, with a white train stopped in the center, and a maintenance platform about two and a half people wide on each side.

Although there was a yellow light every ten meters, the lighting was still very dim.

A complete special tactics team has unquestionable combat capabilities, not to mention the Police Headquarters officers.

The bulletproof shield was at the forefront, protecting the advancing team, while the sniper climbed on top of the train to find a suitable sniping position.

"Movement detected from the enemy."

"Permission to shoot."

"Bang——!"

As soon as the gunshot echoed, news of the target being taken down came through the tactical headset.

The SAT sniper used an M24 SWS, a standard sniper rifle of the U.S. military, with unquestionable power and precision.

Liangben’s goons and the DIA operatives hurriedly hid in the gaps between the platform and train, seeking cover.

Meanwhile, Gu Ji and the others could advance without worry under the shield’s protection.

"Damn it, boss, what should we do now?"

Despite the dire situation, Tangben Xiu remained stone-faced, though he hadn’t anticipated the three new Xia Kingdom police officers to be so formidable.

Initially, he thought Sasa Kana’s failure was due to luck combined with SAT support.

Now it seemed there was definitely a hidden expert among them!

Unfortunately, due to the sudden involvement of the DIA operatives, they had to contact Jian Na earlier than expected, leaving no time to investigate the backgrounds of the three young Xia Kingdom officers.

"What should I do now," Tangben Xiu pressed the radio button, his separate single-line channel, ensuring others couldn’t hear.

A moment later, he slightly furrowed his brows, "Understood."

It was also Jian Na’s first time seeing his expression change.

"Boss, what’s the word from above?"

"There’s a connection passage 200 meters behind us that leads to the emergency evacuation building."

"That’s great!"

His subordinate’s face lit up with joy, but they quickly realized their predicament was dire. Besides facing pursuit from the two Americans, there was also a SAT special tactics team from the Police Headquarters.

Tangben Xiu turned his head, looking at a robust, crew-cut man beside him.

"Pinggu, I need you to cover our retreat. The sniper is at my one o’clock, perched on the train top."

"No problem, big brother!"

Pinggu nodded without a trace of fear, picking up his Uzi submachine gun and charging out.

As the gunshots erupted, Tangben Xiu ordered his henchmen to drag Jian Na and escape to the rear.

"Attention! The target is fleeing!"

Gu Ji had been monitoring Jian Na’s movements closely, and as soon as the target moved, he raised his gun, aiming from the shield’s side.

He fired a burst, hitting one of the gunmen in the back.

Pinggu didn’t hold out for long either, quickly succumbing to the sniper’s fire under SAT’s concentrated suppression.

To Gu Ji’s surprise, yet as expected,

the two DIA operatives, facing such a scenario, chose to drop their guns and surrender, raising their hands and shouting, "Hey! Don’t shoot! Don’t shoot!"

Jingshang Gaoming immediately rushed forward to cuff the two, temporarily putting them under the patrol officer’s watch.

As Liangben continued their westward escape, they quickly left the cover of the train.

The whole cylindrical tunnel and tracks became visible at a glance.

With no cover, the sniper became even more effective.

Watching as the goons were sequentially taken down during their escape, Tangben Xiu abruptly jumped into a nearby recess, slamming the iron door shut.

A few of his subordinates were left dumbfounded, evidently not having reached the 200-meter mark.

"Watch Jian Na! Watch Jian Na!"

"Ratatat! Ratatat!"

Before the group of goons could react, the SAT officers and Gu Ji’s trio charged in with their guns, taking down every armed goon, leaving only one thug who surrendered.

Shi Zhengmin took out his phone, looking at the picture of Jian Na to confirm the target:

"Jian Na, right? Your mother, Liu Meiling, has been rescued by us and is currently being escorted to the hospital by two female officers."

"Thank you all, for your hard work..."

Jian Na wasn’t as fragile as imagined, politely thanked them, and then fell into deep thought.
