Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 709, Section 715: Extra Chapter: Zhu Yiba's Past (Part 11)

A few hours later, two cars identical to the one before drove into Zhu Yiba's line of sight again. Under the headlights, the two drivers got out of the driver's seat and stood directly in the open space between the two cars to conduct the transaction.

It was pitch black. This time, Zhu Yiba didn't hesitate. With a command, the whole team charged forward.

"Police! Don't move!"

The classic arrest slogan, used for decades, suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Then Zhu Yiba took out his pistol and fired several shots into the air. The gunshots were like thunderclaps in the originally quiet night sky, and the preemptive strike was used to the extreme.

The fat man pulled out a huge megaphone and, with a passionate and impassioned tone, shouted: "Listen up, you men! You are surrounded! Surrender is the only way out!"

In just half a minute, the two people who were trading on the street were forced to kneel on the ground by the soldiers.

"Very good, bring the person here immediately." Zhu Yiba breathed a sigh of relief and was just about to call out to the soldiers to take the suspect away from the scene as soon as possible when an unusual phenomenon occurred.

With a loud screech, the black pickup truck that had been parked on the side of the road, which had come from outside the mountains, suddenly made a 180-degree turn, its rear wheels flying through the mud, and two seconds later it shot out like a slingshot.

Oh no! There's someone on the bus!
Since it was impossible to set up a sniper at night, Lao Liu, who was originally in charge of sniping, came along instead!
Zhu Yiba's preconceived notions led him to mistakenly believe that only two people would be present at the transaction, without considering the existence of a third party. Realizing his mistake, Zhu Yiba instinctively prepared to give chase, just like he did in the Special Operations Platoon back then, rushing towards the other SUV parked on the side without a second thought.

"Squad leader, take the men back!" Zhu Yiba shouted, standing by the car door, and slammed it open before jumping inside.

Upon hearing this, the squad leader knew that this time, in order to avoid falling into the same predicament as before, their special operations platoon leader was not planning to bring anyone else along and was going to carry out the arrest alone.

It has to be said that now, no matter from any angle, from any regulation or system, or from any sense of responsibility, nothing can stop Zhu Yiba's actions.

Unlike Zhu Yiba, who was recently transferred here, the squad leader had been a soldier under the command of station chief Wang Hai for nearly ten years, and his style was similar to Wang Hai's.

There's nothing more to it than "seeking stability".

But seeing Zhu Yiba risking his life to go alone, the squad leader was worried. He was worried that if something happened to this young platoon leader, it would be a pity to waste such a promising young man.

After only a two-second hesitation, the squad leader waved his hand and led Little Fatty and Yellow Hair into the car.

"Platoon leader, I've handed everything over to the deputy squad leader. Let's go!" The squad leader, sitting in the passenger seat, patted the center armrest and spoke calmly.

"We're sticking with you!" Yellow Hair sniffed, then wiped his hand, speaking with unwavering conviction.

"Phew! Platoon leader, I was just thinking of going with you to see what the outside world is like. After guarding this pass for so many years, I still don't know what it's like outside. I'll be laughed at when I get back." Xiao Pang's size, plus the Type 95-1 automatic rifle he was carrying on his shoulder, made the back seat of the SUV feel cramped.

Zhu Yiba was taken aback. He didn't say the words he had subconsciously wanted to tell them to avoid danger. They were all men, and he didn't want to be so indecisive. He then stepped on the gas, and the car shot off immediately.

Night fell, and the silvery moonlight illuminated the surrounding mountains and forests.

A SUV roared along the narrow road, its headlights locked on the rear of an old pickup truck. From above, it was clear that the pickup was lurching wildly along the road, its front end surging forward recklessly, trying to shake off the SUV. The people inside knew that if they were caught, they would die.

"To eliminate the enemy, you must first learn to protect yourself." The squad leader stared ahead, one hand firmly gripping the doorknob, the other supporting himself in front of him. "Every time the station chief gave us a lecture, this was the first thing he said."

"Sigh, for the first six months after I enlisted, I was terrified by the station chief every day. When we went on missions, I wished I could wear an extra bulletproof vest, and I even wanted a helmet that could cover my mouth." Little Fatty recalled vividly, tilting his big head as if reminiscing.

"What the standing seat says is all correct!" Huang Mao sees things most clearly; in his eyes, whoever has the higher rank is right.

Zhu Yiba was amused by his three comrades. In any case, the fact that the three of them came along was the greatest support for him.

Since leaving the special operations platoon, he hadn't experienced such a thrilling chase in a long time, and he had to admit, he was itching to get his hands dirty. He was thoroughly enjoying this cat-and-mouse game.

Zhu Yiba chuckled: "Everyone, fasten your seatbelts. That car probably won't be able to handle the strain."

Compared to the rugged off-road vehicles they were driving, the old pickup truck in front was like an elderly man nearing sixty, who might still be able to fight one last time when faced with life and death.

But once is one thing, twice is another; if it goes on for too long, nothing can withstand it.

Zhu Yiba, who was driving, clearly felt the distance between the two cars slowly closing. He was sure he would be able to cut off the car in front of him in less than ten minutes.

"Platoon leader, the border is just around the corner. Should we continue the pursuit?" the squad leader reminded him.

As active-duty armed police officers of China, even though they are nominally police, they do not have law enforcement authority in other countries. In particular, since they are essentially military personnel, if they were to rashly enter another country's territory fully armed, it would be almost a military invasion, and the consequences on the international stage would be extremely serious.

Zhu Yiba smiled coldly: "It's alright, we'll catch up soon."

"But what if we cross the line?"

"It's the middle of the night, everyone's sleeping. Hehe, I misspoke. The people over there sleep during the day and go back to the city to eat, drink, and have fun at night, nobody cares. If we arrest someone, we'll come back right away, nobody will know."

The platoon leader fell silent, and could only hope to intercept the vehicle within the border.

Zhu Yiba licked his dry lips, unable to suppress a feeling of excitement and joy. This feeling came so suddenly, yet so familiar; he had been lonely for far too long in an ordinary unit like the border post.

Having served in the special operations platoon, I had participated in numerous cross-border operations to deal with narcotics. This experience was an advantage, but it also had its drawbacks. With so many successful operations, I naturally became accustomed to it and less concerned, unlike ordinary border guards who treated cross-border crossings with the same caution.

When Zhu Yiba was first assigned to the combat duty sequence, he followed the veterans to sneak out of the mountains and complete many missions. Influenced by the environment, this group of people did not have much of a taboo about going inside or outside the mountains.
