Chapter 1189: Chapter 1182: Arrest Them All

"Yes!" The team member, upon seeing his action, felt both surprised and amused, so he mimicked the gesture, giving the man’s buttocks a pat before wrapping him up in the blanket. He was a bit rough, though, and his smack made a loud slapping sound, leaving a handprint on the man’s butt.

"Keep it down, are you trying to get us killed?" Hu Daoke glared at him, displeased.

After dealing with the person in the first room, the squad moved on to the door of the next room. This door was locked. Fortunately, there was a lock-picker on the team who, after some fiddling, quietly opened the door.

Unfortunately, the room was neat and showed no sign of having been lived in. So, they moved on to the next one, where they had the team member pick the lock once again.

Just as they were tampering with the door, suddenly, a maid with a tray emerged from a room five meters away.

The instant she saw the fully armed line of people in the corridor, her eyes widened, and she stood frozen on the spot.

She clearly had the sense to understand her situation, quietly standing still once she saw she was at gunpoint, though she seemed a bit lost on what to do next.

The team member aiming the pistol at her put his left hand to his lips, signaling her to be silent. Then he gently tapped the wrist of his gun-holding right hand with the back of his left, indicating she shouldn’t make any sudden moves. Finally, he gestured for her to come over.

After making these hand signals, what happened next surprised Hu Daoke and his team, as the maid seemed to understand the assault team member’s gestures.

She slowly bent down, placed the tray filled with glassware steadily on the ground, then put her hands together at her mouth and walked towards the people in the hall.

"She’s really cooperative." Hu Daoke, who had seen many things, couldn’t help but mutter.

As he spoke, he gently patted the team member’s shoulder and said softly, "Be gentle with the girl."

"Eh, okay." The team member nodded and stepped forward slowly, pulling a zip tie from his waist gently binding her hands.

Seeing the maid’s obedient manner, he felt reluctant to seal her mouth with tape and, after hesitating for quite a while, he finally reluctantly tore off a strip and sealed her mouth.

"The door’s open." At that moment, the lock-picker announced and slowly pushed the door open.

"Take her inside!" Hu Daoke ordered.

Following the previous formation, Hu Daoke, with two team members and the maid, stormed into the room. This room also showed no signs of habitation.

Looking around, Hu Daoke sighed helplessly, then pointed at the maid and said, "Dump her on the bed, let’s go."

The two team members escorted the maid to the bed and sat her down. Just as she thought she was about to face doom, the team member knelt down to look up at her and softly said in Tasta, "Stay here, don’t wander off, you hear me?"

Unable to speak, the maid nodded vigorously. Seeing her response, the team member breathed a sigh of relief and then stood up and left her.

"Are all the locked rooms empty?" One team member couldn’t help but whisper as they walked the corridor.

"Hard to say, some people just like to sleep with the door locked." Hu Daoke shrugged.

"Let’s go, that door is open." A team member pointed to the room from which the maid had come.

"Let’s take a look." Hu Daoke nodded, then led the way to the door.

He had a team member carefully lift the tray, and then followed him slowly into the room. A strong smell of alcohol hung in the air, accompanied by the sound of a man snoring. Hu Daoke knew they had caught another one.

So, they made quick work of it and tied the man up tightly. It was unclear whether he was still drunk, but this hefty man did not wake up until he was tightly bound, which saved them a lot of effort.

Just as they were getting ready to leave, two members on guard in the corridor suddenly burst in and anxiously said, "Boss, there are armed personnel patrolling in the corridor."

"Drag them in and take care of it!" Hu Daoke commanded without a second thought.

Two guards on patrol were carrying out their routine when suddenly a pair of pants flew out of a room with its door ajar. They approached the door and, without giving it much thought, one of them picked up the pants and walked into the room to put them back.

However, he had barely stepped halfway into the room when something pulled him in swiftly, not even giving him the chance to cry out in shock.

His partner, surprised by what happened, was just about to raise his rifle when several flashes of light flickered from the dark room, and his body staggered back as if struck, until he leaned against the wall.

As he slid weakly to the floor, blood spatters could be seen on the wall behind him.

No sooner had he collapsed than the people in the room grabbed his feet and dragged him inside, leaving behind only the blood on the wall and floor.

In this way, the five assault teams spent over ten minutes to tie up the dozens of leading figures who were deep in sleep, arriving before 6:20 AM around the outskirts of the library where they often gathered.

The so-called Plan B entailed apprehending dispersed targets at first if they were found scattered. Before 6:20 AM, the designated three assault teams arrived at the locations these people frequented, standing by and waiting to breach.

According to Fulanta’s description, among these people, a few were so energetic they often stayed up all night without sleep, huddled in the library plotting against Lipei. Among them were two chief culprits, Saiye and Pelas.

The team quickly reached the library’s corridor, where Hu Daoke and Baiyue led their respective teams to block the front and back doors of the library. At the same time, another assault team, having completely secured the rooftop, prepared to drop in from above.

This team, suspended from the super mobility device, waited on the roof terrace outside the library, ready to storm the building once the attack signal was given.

The signal for the start of the attack was a signal flare launched by the command team on the transport plane. At 6:20 AM, Tangmo would launch the signal flare, the sole signal for nearly all operations.

Upon seeing or hearing the signal, the assault teams would storm the library, secure the people inside, and support teams from the transport plane would also land directly on the rooftop to assist the assault teams in securing the building. Additionally, part of the mountain troops deployed in the perimeter would enter the estate to help reinforce its defense.

At 6:20 AM, as the signal flare slashed through the sky with a piercing screech, the operation officially began.

Before this, the assault team had already rigged directional explosives on the doors, and this time, to intimidate the enemy, they didn’t go for their usual silent breach strategy but instead opted for a typical explosive breach followed by tossing in flashbangs.

With two loud booms, the wooden doors were shattered by the directional explosives, and wood chips were strewn everywhere. Then, two flashbangs were thrown into the room from the front and back doors, detonating with a thunderous noise.

Finally, the assault teams advanced from three directions, and at this point, the people in the room were still in a daze, hardly aware of the assault team’s arrival, and were forcefully pinned down to the ground.

At the same time, the mercenaries tasked with guarding began exchanging fire with two other teams of the assault group, but as the support teams joined in and soldiers from the mountain troops continuously flowed into the estate, the battle lasted only for about twenty minutes before the mercenaries laid down their weapons and surrendered.

Seeing as their employers had been captured, resisting to the death was pointless, so they simply raised their hands to surrender.

At 6:50 AM, the transport plane landed steadily on the flat ground of the estate, and the members of the command team disembarked and walked toward the building.

In the hall, those rebel leaders who once thought themselves invincible, boasting of their fight against Lipei, now knelt on the ground with bowed heads and bound hands, not daring to utter a word.

Many of them had been asleep when they were caught, and out of humanitarian spirit, the assault team members had only put underpants on them before dragging them out to the hall. Thus, these men appeared ashamed, hunched over on the ground, their heads hanging lower than anyone else’s.
