Chapter 330 Arrest

Chapter 330 Arrest
Outside the InterContinental Hotel in Shanghai, on the roadside.

10:25 am.

The camouflaged Iveco communication vehicle with the word "Road Administration" on it had been parked on the roadside for more than two hours.

The driver's side window was open, and the driver sat in the driver's seat, his eyes occasionally darting left and right.

It means they haven't done any work at all.

Inside the car, Zheng Xiaofan sat in the middle of the carriage. In front of him were several large screens, which were divided into smaller screens. Some of them showed fixed camera shots, while others showed moving camera shots.

As he listened to the reports coming through his headphones, the cigarette in his hand burned out without him even realizing it.

So, quite rudely, I lit another one.

Anyway, he's in charge of the arrest operation at the InterContinental Hotel today. He's the highest-ranking official here.

No one will say anything.

Moreover, the two operators next to him were also smokers. As soon as Captain Zheng offered a cigarette, the car was filled with smoke, and the exhaust fans in the windows on the roof, which were used for ventilation and escape, started spinning at full power.

Just then, suddenly, an operator next to Zheng Xiaofan first covered his earpiece, and then said to him:
"Team Leader Zheng, the target flight has entered our airspace!"

"!"

Zheng Xiaofan, who had been looking nonchalant, suddenly had a gleam in his eyes.

At that moment, a voice came through his earphones:
"Attention all team leaders, the special airspace passage in Hong Kong has been opened. The estimated landing time for the target aircraft is 53 minutes."

The moment the sound was heard, Hong Kong Airport was notified and a British Airways plane was asked to land with priority and a special passage was opened.

Faced with this unclear order, the already small ground staff at Hong Kong Airport immediately began to get busy.

Meanwhile, in Shanghai, after receiving the notification, Zheng Xiaofan said to the commander beside him:

"Notify them."

He glanced at his watch and said:
"Signal control will be activated in 3 minutes. All arrest teams, please take your positions."

"Yes!"

The commander immediately began issuing Zheng Xiaofan's orders.

A few seconds later, some of the cameras on the screen in front of him immediately started to move.

There was no so-called "pre-battle pep talk" or inspiring words.

He issued the combat orders as planned without any surprises, and the personnel began to move out after receiving them.

It's that simple.

Those who received the orders included hotel staff, cleaning personnel, security guards on duty in the monitoring room, and even guests having coffee.

Without prior arrangement, everyone headed towards their assigned area and room, following the plan.

They were accompanied by plainclothes police officers and others.

Everyone's face remained expressionless, without any emotion.

Just as he told Lu Yao, life is not a movie.

In reality, catching people isn't that difficult.

Locate the target, confirm its location, and carry out the arrest.

It's that simple.

As long as the plan is detailed, there shouldn't be any unexpected problems.

Humans need reaction time.

In the stew pot of the InterContinental Hotel, these frogs, which have been simmering in lukewarm water for a long time, don't need any boiling soup or hot oil; they just need to follow the proper order.

Three minutes passed quickly.

"Report: Signal jamming has been activated."

Zheng Xiaofan nodded in response to the operator's voice:
"The action begins."

The calm voice immediately elicited a response from the communications officer:

"The action begins."

The moment he spoke, the sound waves were transmitted to everyone's communicators via signal.

In that instant, everyone making phone calls in the InterContinental Hotel suddenly realized they couldn't hear the other end of the line. Those working on their computers experienced the same thing; many were puzzled, staring at the network error icon on their laptops…

Why is my internet down?
At the same time, in the monitoring room of the InterContinental Hotel, a security guard stood up from his seat and went to the door of the monitoring room.

His companion, who was watching the monitor, noticed his movement and asked:
"Why go?"

But the security guard didn't say anything and just opened the door.

The moment the door opened, several people dressed in ordinary clothes rushed in and pounced on the man.

"Don't move!"

"?"

The confusion still lingered on his face.

But the next second, the security guard was pinned to the ground by the three people who came in through the door, his hands were tied behind his back, and he was immediately handcuffed with cold handcuffs.

"...? What...what are you doing!? Who are you!? You..."

"Don't make any noise!"

His mouth was instantly covered, and at the same time, an identification document was displayed directly in front of his eyes.

"take away."

Then, another person spoke into their miniature earphones:

"Target No. 84 has been captured."

"Ah."

As the first target to be captured, this person did not bring Zheng Xiaofan any sense of accomplishment.

His eyes were always fixed on the screen closest to him.

The screen displays surveillance footage from the 16th floor of the InterContinental Hotel.

The nine small split screens are divided into two sections, with four sections occupied by floor monitoring cameras on both sides, and the remaining five sections are constantly moving.

Those are the cameras worn by the arresting team.

His gaze kept shifting between the two sides.

To avoid alerting Luo Xuewei, the arrest team did not go directly to her door, but instead waited in the stairwell.

We are still some distance from the room on the far side.

His gaze involuntarily fell on the backs of the group of people on the fixed screen.

He glanced at the number "16F" on the split screen again, a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes.

The InterContinental Hotel's building is vertical, a design that may be unremarkable in the hotel industry, but for the arresting officers, it was a unique advantage.

Because they are not afraid that the target will jump out of the window and escape.

16th floor.

You dare to jump and see what happens!
At this moment, as the arrest team ran, Zheng Xiaofan's nerves also became a little tense.

But he didn't show it, and the arresting officers who were running around the building didn't know that their captain was a little nervous at the moment.

These well-trained members had a very clear division of labor. There were a total of 8 people. After reaching the end of the floor, the two groups quickly split into two teams. The people who ran in front had already received the hotel's universal card when they arrived at the room door.

But another person had already come up behind him.

After pointing the card at the door lock, the man heard a "beep" sound, then quickly put his hand on the doorknob, pressed it down, and pushed it.

The door was opened directly.

As the door opened, he quickly dodged, and the member behind him kicked out with lightning speed.

With a loud "bang!" and the sound of chains flying, the man led the way and rushed inside.

After the four people rushed in, the two in the back went straight to the bedroom, while the two in the front quickly made sure the living room was empty before also heading straight to the bedroom.

The bedroom door was also kicked open with a loud bang.

Zheng Xiaofan's eyes narrowed immediately.

The target on the screen was locked in at a glance.

Luo Xuewei didn't seem to be fully awake yet, but she got up when she heard the noise.

He immediately heard his teammates' voices in his earpiece:

"Don't move!"

"Raise your hands!"

"Hands on your head! Crouch down!"

“Don’t move!!”

The sound is noisy.

The camera shook for a moment.

After a few seconds, it stabilized again.

In the scene, Luo Xuewei, wearing only underwear, is handcuffed and forced onto a bed by the arresting team.

"call……"

For some reason, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned his attention to another screen.

White Hair was handcuffed in the same position, his body firmly fixed in place.

"Jingle Bell……"

When he heard this noise in his earpiece, he paused, then quickly spoke into the microphone:

"Old Wu, what's going on! Why is the phone ringing?!"

The arrest scene.

Upon hearing the voice in the earphones, Wu Ge, who had met Lu Yao once before, quickly picked up Luo Xuewei's phone from the bedside table, glanced at it, breathed a sigh of relief, and replied:
"It's a phone alarm clock."

As he spoke, he casually pressed the stop button on his phone alarm, then took out an evidence bag and put the phone inside.

At that moment, he keenly sensed a gaze.

Turning his head, he saw Luo Xuewei, who was pinned to the bed, staring at him.

Or rather... staring at the phone in his hand.

Angkor had no interest in communicating with her and instead said directly:

"Captain Zheng, target apprehended." With that, he casually placed the evidence bag on the bedside table.

These will be collected by professionals in a while; he doesn't need to worry about them.

At the same time, Zheng Xiaofan's voice came through his earphones:

"Okay, wait to be escorted."

He breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the plan proceed smoothly and the operator's hands fill with an ever-growing list of targets to be apprehended.

I checked the time...

10 points.

Mission... Successful.

However, he was in no hurry. Instead, he waited until everyone on the list had been arrested before issuing further orders:
"Let the escort vehicle enter. Officers, please calm them down, report any follow-up communications and losses, and notify headquarters. All targets have been captured; mission complete!"

"Yes!"

So, a line of police cars entered from all directions.

They surrounded the InterContinental Hotel completely.

When faced with passengers raising their phones, all police officers immediately took steps to stop them from filming.

inside the house.

"Jingle Bell."

Upon hearing the phone ring, Wu Ge picked up the phone from the evidence bag again and pressed the stop button.

He then glanced at Luo Xuewei, who was squatting on the ground in handcuffs, not saying a word. Seeing that she was still staring at him, he became suspicious.

He took his phone out of the evidence bag and asked directly:
"What's the password?"

"..."

Luo Xuewei remained silent.

Angkor Wat was not surprised.

In fact, from the moment she entered the room until the arrest was completed, her reaction remained calm.

Not a word.

That's basically how spies are.

The kinds of statements in movies like "You've arrested the wrong person" or "I'm innocent" will basically never happen in reality.

That's fiction.

Or rather, only the lower-level agents developed by spies would have this "I'm being framed" reaction.

Real spies and national security agencies all share a certain... well, let's just call it a tacit understanding.

We're arresting you because you've been discovered.

There was no mistaken arrest.

So don't use those excuses that are meant to fool idiots.

no point.

Why waste your breath?

So he didn't care that he didn't get the password.

He was part of the arrest team, not the interrogation team. How to get them to talk was the interrogation team's job.

Angkor simply checked his phone's battery level again.

Full.

That's fine then.

So he put his phone aside again.

Luo Xuewei remained silent, as did the four people in the room.

There is no need for communication.

Spies find it difficult to speak up. They've dealt with so many people, seen all sorts of people, that they've lost all curiosity or other emotions.

The command center will definitely have follow-up actions at this point; we just need to wait for the others to arrive.

Sure enough, less than two minutes later, Zheng Xiaofan's voice came through the earphones:

"Everyone get ready, the car is here."

"Dress her up."

Following Angkor's words, one of the men immediately took out two sportswear sets that had been inspected and were not unisex, and put them on Luo Xuewei.

And just then...

"Jingle Bell……"

Wu Ge was speechless. After pressing the stop button again, he glanced at Luo Xuewei.

"You have a hard time getting up."

"..."

Luo Xuewei remained silent and lowered her head again.

……

It lasted for about half an hour.

Zheng Xiaofan finally breathed a sigh of relief after the last arresting officer was put into the car with a black hood over his head.

Signal blocking has been lifted.

The mission was successfully completed.

He looked at his phone, which had regained signal, and got off the Iveco van with the "Road Administration" sign.

The fresh air and pleasant temperature inexplicably made him squint his eyes in comfort.

After thinking for a moment, he took out his phone and called Lu Yao.

Lu Yao answered almost instantly.

He had been waiting for this phone call all morning.

His phone was never out of his sight.
"Hey, Brother Fan!"

"nailed it."

"...Huh!? Really?"

Hearing the joyful voice on the other end of the phone, Zheng Xiaofan also smiled:

"Ha, yeah. I told you everything, they can't escape. Alright, I'm busy here, I probably won't be able to contact you today. Let me know when I'm free, I still have a lot of things to do. When I'm free, I'll talk to you slowly... Anyway, Lu Yao, you can rest assured. When she was arrested, she was still in bed, she didn't do anything, you can rest assured."

"……Um!"

On the other end of the phone.

Lu Yao, whose heart had been hanging in suspense all morning, felt as if a weight had finally been lifted from his chest.

After giving a resounding reply, he couldn't help but laugh:

"Brother Fan, you have to treat me to a meal."

"Haha, of course I'll treat you... Let's wait a few days. We'll have a good drink together."

"We're going to drink until we drop!"

"Ha! I'll send someone to pick up your parents. Are you all done with everything at home?"

"okay."

"Okay, that's settled then, bye."

"Uh-huh."

The phone hangs up.

Lu Yao jumped up and down right there in the pavilion:

"Yay!!!! Haha ...

He let out a strange scream.

This left Chen Xiaoqun speechless.

But having overheard everything clearly, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and smiled:
"Are you relieved now?"

"Haha, of course I'm not worried... I'm totally relieved!"

Seeing Lu Yao's excited expression, Chen Xiaoqun continued:

"I told you long ago, these people have no chance against our national machinery. Think about it, if we can't even handle a few small fry, how can we possibly achieve our great rejuvenation?"

"Hahahahahaha..."

Lu Yao nodded vigorously.

At this moment, I feel like all my energy and spirit have returned.

I checked the time...

Oh right, my girlfriend is having dinner with her brother today.

Forget it, I won't call her.

"Brother Chen, let's go..."

"Why go?"

"How about we buy some snacks to go with our drinks... and grab a drink?"

"Uh……"

Looking at his incredibly excited expression, Chen Xiaoqun thought for a moment and then held up one finger:
"One beer, at most one beer."

"Uh-huh!"
