Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 281 Reconnaissance
"That being said, it would be good for everyone to understand what the superiors are thinking, wouldn't it?"

Chang Ning knew perfectly well that the police wouldn't frame anyone; he simply wanted to get closer to everyone.

The members of Group B weren't children, and they easily understood Chang Ning's implied meaning.

Because everyone in Group B was caught up in the situation, no matter how they guessed, they couldn't figure out the intentions of those above.

The group rushed to the provincial capital overnight, and having not slept all night, they were already feeling sleepy.

Geng Jihui's performance as team leader was evident to everyone. Since there was no specific deadline for the task, Group B didn't need to rush.

So, at Geng Jihui's suggestion, everyone slept fully clothed, and soon the dormitory was filled with snoring.

Meanwhile, in the provincial office, Wen Keng leaned back in his chair, looking through the glass at the bustling traffic on the street, and murmured, "Why did the higher-ups send Lao He's men to carry out such a simple task?"

He was unaware of the full scope of the plan, and this operation was only a part of it.

Group B slept until noon, and Xiao Liu brought their lunch to their dorm.

Xiao Liu's behavior evoked memories of Chang Ning's college days.

Back then, he often brought food to the few lively guys in the dormitory, and they affectionately called him "godfather".

"Has Xiao Liu eaten? If not, have some with us." Chang Ning said as she took the lunch Xiao Liu brought over.

"No, no, I've already eaten," Xiao Liu hurriedly waved his hand in refusal.

"Let's eat something together, I'll need your help later," Geng Jihui said as he helped set the lunch on the table.

Hearing that he needed help, Xiao Liu stopped refusing.

He didn't ask what specific help he needed, but you could probably guess it was related to a mission even without asking.

They weren't familiar with each other, and aside from missions, they had no interaction.

"After everyone finishes eating, let's scout out the terrain in the urban village and then make a plan. Any questions?" Geng Jihui asked.

Upon hearing the commander's words, everyone shook their heads to indicate that there was no problem.

Ten minutes later, after finishing their meal, Team B changed into civilian clothes and, led by Xiao Liu, drove to the mission location.

……

"The criminals' hideout is not far ahead."

Xiao Liu and Geng Jihui squatted in front of the fruit stall, picking and choosing from a basket of apples, while the others were scattered around, some leaning against the wall smoking, others pretending to haggle with the vendors.

Chang Ning looked at the gray, two-story self-built row houses fifty meters away. The innermost one was the residence of the target of this mission.

"Attention, target detected."

After settling the water bill with the shop owner, Chang Ning caught a glimpse of a man with dyed yellow hair and dark circles under his eyes walking into the shop.

Based on the photos in the intelligence report he saw that morning, Chang Ning was certain that this person was one of their targets.

After reporting the situation to Geng Jihui, Chang Ning walked out of the small shop, plopped down on the steps, unscrewed the water bottle cap, and took a sip of water.

His attention was focused on the target who had just entered the store.

"Boss, a case of beer."

After making his request, Huang Mao casually grabbed a few bags of snacks to go with his drinks.

"Six dollars in total."

After settling the bill, Huang Mao picked up a case of beer and some snacks and walked out of the store.

Chang Ning and Huang Mao's eyes met, then looked away for a moment.

"The target bought a case of beer, a few chicken legs, and pickled vegetables."

Watching the blond-haired man walk towards the residence, Chang Ning reported what she had seen to Geng Jihui and then stopped keeping an eye on him.

Intelligence indicates this is a five-person criminal gang. Constantly focusing on the target could easily lead to being noticed or spotted by their accomplices.

Geng Jihui only recalled Chang Ning after Huang Mao entered the house.

Geng Jihui looked at everyone with delight in his eyes: "Including the blond-haired man that Chang Ning saw, there were a total of five people who entered that house, which matches the number shown in the intelligence report."

As a long-time comrade-in-arms, Chang Ning could tell what the other was thinking just by looking at his expression.

However, just to be on the safe side, he still needed to cool things down with Geng Jihui.

"Are you sure it's those five people from the intelligence report?"

Chang Ning's meaning was clear: even if the number of people was correct, it did not guarantee that the people who appeared were the ones in the intelligence.

With Chang Ning's reminder, Geng Jihui's mindset changed. He looked at the others, and the meaning was self-evident.

"I haven't found any problems on my end," the old man said.

With the veteran's lead, everyone else said they had no problem.

Chang Ning was finally relieved.

In fact, Geng Jihui wouldn't get angry just because Chang Ning poured cold water on him; he knew Chang Ning meant well.

Actually, having such a calm person in the group is beneficial to both him and the group.

"In that case, I'm all set."

Seeing that everyone had confirmed the accuracy of the intelligence, Chang Ning agreed to Geng Jihui's intention to proceed.

"it is good!

"Xiao Liu, now call over the ten criminal police officers the leader assigned to us to keep an eye on the target together. Report to us immediately if you spot anything."

After resolving the team's issues, Geng Jihui immediately began assigning tasks.

After receiving the assignment, Xiao Liu suppressed his excitement.

He had been following up on this case the whole time, and now that he finally had the chance to close the net, he was happier than anyone else.

After the criminal police arrived, Geng Jihui and the rest of Team B returned to the dormitory arranged for them by the provincial department.

"My suggestion is to launch an attack today and end this mission."

"Do you have any suggestions?" Geng Jihui asked the group of people sitting together.

They had already sensed Geng Jihui's intentions when they were in the urban village, so they weren't surprised by his confrontation.

However, the specific actions taken still need to be carefully discussed in order to achieve the best possible outcome.

This time, it's happening right under the police's nose. If they don't perform well, not only will Group B be affected, but Wolf Fang will be too.

Chang Ning pointed out a problem: "The intelligence the police gave us did not include a structural diagram of the house where the target lived."

In close-quarters indoor combat like this, understanding the room's layout and structure is extremely helpful for maneuvering.

"I don't think it's necessary to understand the structure of a house. Does not understanding these things on the battlefield mean you can't fight?" the ostrich said nonchalantly.

In his view, a criminal gang of only five people, without any heavy firepower, didn't need to be so cautious.

The ten detectives were instructed to keep watch around the house to prevent the criminals from escaping through the windows. They then blew up the door, forced their way in, and the battle was over!
Is this difficult?

"But we now have the means to figure out the room layout, and there's no time limit for this task."

Chang Ning's implication was that with ample time and the assistance of the police, there was no reason to do the job so sloppily.

“That’s true, but you’ve forgotten an important condition,” Xiao Zhuang said.

Chang Ning: "What?"
