"Hahaha, it’s finally over!"

"Our police force is really amazing! With this equipment, the armed militants would be scared to death!" Gao Bo teased with a grin, leaning toward the combat boat. Two special police officers helped him up by the arms, pulling him onto the boat where he lay down.

Gu Ji was also slightly surprised when he saw the equipment configuration of the supporting personnel.

Normally, a regular water patrol team operating on inland tributaries would be considered well-equipped if they had inflatable combat boats. But these guys not only had professional-grade rigid fast combat boats and amphibious combat uniforms, but they were also equipped with a more powerful squad light machine gun, practically like a "mini Marine Corps."

This inevitably reminded him of the elite force in the Dianyun Water Patrol Team:

The Amphibious Special Operations Team!

After the 2018 reform of the active-duty police units, some special units that were originally part of the armed police were transferred to either the armed police, the public security departments, or the fire rescue departments. Dianyun Water Patrol Team was among them.

It was mainly established to deal with the complex criminal and armed forces in the Gongcang River basin and to maintain the safety of waterways, consisting of retired soldiers, armed police, and elite police officers.

The Amphibious Special Operations Team is the elite among elites of the entire team, mainly responsible for armed patrols, emergency response, and rescue in water zones, as well as cracking down on various criminal activities within the legal framework of the Xia, Lao, Myanmar, and Thailand cooperation, known as the "sword of the Golden Triangle!"

The helicopter circling overhead was also not simple.

Gu Ji noticed that the sniper’s shoulder patch was a leopard engulfed in flames, none other than Dianyun’s top counter-terrorism force: the Clouded Leopard Assault Team!

Li Ruilin and Lei Wanshan were really willing to spare no expense.

With the Dragon Tiger Assault Team One also returning, they actually dispatched the top three police forces to support and respond to them, proving the importance the superiors attached to them, which warmed his heart.

After being pulled onto the boat, Gu Ji immediately turned to look at Wu Kang.

At this moment, Wu Kang had just slightly opened his eyes, his breathing was very shallow, and the others quickly gathered around.

"Was Wu Kang shot?"

"Right in the chest protector, no penetrating wounds or perforations. I checked, there’s a pulse, weak breathing, it might be that his respiratory system is temporarily paralyzed. Wu Kang, Wu Kang, can you hear me?"

Gu Ji helped prop him up against the side of the boat and removed the tactical flashlight from his rifle, shining it into Wu Kang’s eyes.

Perhaps stimulated by the strong light.

Wu Kang’s pupils constricted abruptly, as if snoring, he suddenly gasped, then his chest began to rise and fall.

"Great, his breathing is back!"

Gao Bo released his clenched fist, and Zhang Wenjun also let out a long breath.

Gu Ji then started questioning, checking if Wu Kang’s mental awareness was restored: "Wu Kang, can you hear me? Answer yes or no. Nod if you can’t speak."

Wu Kang nodded slightly.

He then asked, "Do you know you were shot?"

Wu Kang nodded again.

"Who do you think is more handsome, me or Gao Bo?"

Hearing this question, Wu Kang was a little stunned, and then he and Gu Ji looked at each other for half a second, and then he grinned and coughed violently, "Cough, cough, cough, you’re still more handsome..."

"Hahahaha!"

Liu Weijun and Zhao Bai laughed out loud, while Gao Bo jokingly added, "Wu Kang, you little rascal, you’re not lying, are you?"

Seeing that Wu Kang could speak, Gu Ji also smiled, knowing he was definitely okay.

At this point, Zhang Wenjun turned around to shake hands and thank the leader of the Amphibious Combat Team. He also waved up at the Clouded Leopard Assault Team in the helicopter above.

Meanwhile, Gu Ji was busy counting people and reporting the situation to the command center.

But as he was counting, he suddenly felt something was off.

Besides Zhou Yang, Zhao Hua, Min Suri, and another Dianyun police officer who were taken to the back in a rubber boat, everyone else should have been on the boat. This combat boat was at most 10 meters long, and it also had 6 amphibious combat police officers standing on it, plus 8 more people, it should have been quite crowded.

"Zhang Zhong, Gao Bo, Wu Kang, Monk, Mr. Zhao, Chaojun, Wa..."

Gu Ji glanced around and suddenly realized that Wa Xueming and Pan Xinli were missing.

At the same time, Zhao Bai noticed this as well, "Where’s Wa Xueming? Did anyone see him? Wa Xueming! Mr. Zhou, please stop the boat for a moment, we still have people missing..."

"Cough, cough, cough! Mr. Zhao, there’s no need to look, he probably ran away..."

Chaojun, sitting at the stern, suddenly interrupted him.

"Ran away? What exactly happened, how could he have suddenly run away!" Zhao Bai’s eyes widened with anger upon hearing this.

Although they successfully captured Bai Maoliang during this operation, they still needed further interrogation to crack the case.

This required evidence and witnesses.

And as the Director of the Supervisory Department of Jinyuan Group, Wa Xueming, a core member, naturally had many criminal evidence and leads on Bai Maoliang. Now that he’s gone, it significantly raised the difficulty of their interrogation.

"Cough, cough... I don’t know for sure, but just a few days ago, he approached me and gave me a USB drive, saying it contained all the Bai Family’s criminal records over the years. Then today I suddenly noticed he was wearing a tactical vest that you’d never get casually in Northern Myanmar, I suspect... he has secretly found a new employer."

As he spoke, Chaojun pulled out a black USB drive from his pocket.

Zhao Bai furrowed his brow, pondering as he walked, "A new employer... Wait! Gu Ji, where’s your computer with the core fraud data and black money accounts?"
