Everyone in the crowd at the night market outside the slums was startled by the sudden sound. Many stopped and looked around, trying to figure out what was happening. Then, a panic spread quickly. Some began to run, while others stood still, at a loss as to what to do.

The lights on both sides of the street dimmed, and the once bustling crowd suddenly turned chaotic. People ran in all directions, jostling each other. Some shop owners hurriedly pulled down their shutters, trying to protect the property and customers inside. Children clung to their parents' hands, crying in fear.

Not far away, several elderly people and people with limited mobility were separated by the crowd and stood there helplessly. Some kind passers-by stopped to help them and tried to keep them away from the center of the chaos.

As the chaos intensified, businesses on both sides of the street closed their stores one after another. Waiters and chefs from some restaurants also joined the ranks of evacuating the crowd, helping to guide people to find safe exits. However, the overly skilled appearance of these waiters and chefs made people feel a little strange.

But no one paid attention to this anomaly at this moment. After hearing the explosion, the people from the Guard Bureau were briefly surprised, and then immediately took action, working on emergency plans and launching a comprehensive response. Chen Huijie naturally no longer had the mind to think about whether to become a disciple, and hurriedly ran towards the emergency point.

only……

Behind Chen Huijie, several pairs of sinister eyes fell on Xiao Longnu...

~~~~~

Chapter 173 Emperor: You said my nephew committed treason?

"Is this... also part of your plan?"

Looking at the fire that illuminated the night sky, Lao Li's expression froze instantly. He had thought of many possible developments, but he had never expected such a shocking scene to occur.

"Of course, but don't worry. The bombs only hit some buildings that were originally scheduled for demolition. It won't affect the safety and normal lives of surrounding residents."

Chen Huijie looked at the flames that lit up the sky for half a day and spoke slowly, W is W after all. Although his relationship with her was quite bad in the previous world line, it is undeniable that W is really a genius in explosions. She can control how to explode and what shape it will look like.

Just like tonight, his request was to just blow up those streets, but in terms of the external visual effects, it would feel like blowing up several arsenals. Although W grinned, he still successfully met his own requirements.

"The Rat Gang and Governor Wei have already made emergency evacuation preparations. There's nothing to worry about. The Imperial Guards should have completed the siege of the Old City by now. Any gangs causing trouble this time shouldn't be able to escape. Mr. Li, you know, that area in the Old City should have been dealt with long ago."

The old city area was originally a mixed area of industrial and residential areas. After Governor Wei began to take charge of Longmen, the function of this mobile city began to change from an industrial city to a commercial and trade city.

In addition, the subsequent battles with Kosice caused the old city to suffer too much trauma, and many key factories and industries suffered irreparable damage. Therefore, the original city center began to slowly become quiet.

Later, Longmen's functional center was successfully transferred to the current urban area, a new industrial chain cluster was also built between the urban area and the port, and most of the population in the old city was also transferred to the new development area. The demolition and reconstruction of the old city was almost obvious.

Therefore, this also attracted a lot of people from all walks of life who wanted to make a fortune from it. Those houses that had been uninhabited for a long time were "rented" by those guys, who occupied them and tried to ask for high relocation fees from the Longmen Governor's Office.

It is also on this basis, with the support of various secret promoters, that large and small gray groups and black industrial chains began to take root in the old city.

So much so that in the previous world line, when Chen Huijie was the agent of Longmen, this old city had become an area that was even more difficult and troublesome than the slums.

However, when Chen Huijie was infected with the final stage of oripathy, this old city would no longer cause him trouble, because the Hai Si who attacked before had landed from the old city. By the time he received the news, the old city was already beyond saving. Chen Huijie could only swing his sword with all his might, breaking the connection between the old city and Longmen, and separating it from Longmen.

As for those criminals who fled from the old city to other districts, if they still want to cause trouble, Chen Huijie doesn't need to take any action. The police officers of the Guard Bureau will naturally deal with them according to the law.

Of course, this foolproof decision made at the time of Haisi's invasion was naturally criticized by all parties afterwards, and Chen Huijie was accused of treason.

It was during that time that Chen Huijie received a letter from his good brother Zuo Le, asking about the situation on his side and whether he needed his help.

Moreover, Zuo Le also used an interleaved letter to inform himself that there seemed to be rumors of his treason in Baizao, and that the Great Yan court seemed to be sending people to Longmen to inspect the situation, so he should be prepared.

To be honest, Chen Huijie was really having a headache at that time. Although he had regained several channels for Longmen's publicity, he was still unable to compete with those old channels in a short period of time. If Dayan really sent people here, it would definitely be disadvantageous to him.

For this purpose, Chen Huijie has made the worst plan. If necessary, he can only sacrifice himself to lure the power of the Great Yan court to Longmen. After cleaning up the garbage, he will find a way to return the control of Longmen to his uncle.

However, not long after, Chen Huijie received news from Zuo Le again, saying that the rumors of treason against him had been suppressed. The censors and officials of the Ministry of Personnel who were the first to take charge, after investigation by the three highest officials in the court, listed ten charges and wrote a letter of impeachment. The emperor then labeled him a "faction" and made a holy judgment.

The original charge was to execute nine generations of an entire clan, but after the whole court strongly advised against it, all officials involved in the case were beheaded, and their three generations were not allowed to serve as officials in the court.

Chen Huijie didn't need to think too much about this outcome. It must be Uncle Yan who helped him. Uncle Tianzi still cared about him. In this case, Chen Huijie could only work overtime and settle the Longmen matter as soon as possible.

After all, Chen Huijie had also experienced the emperor's work and life for a few days, and he also understood that as far as the current Dayan was concerned, the court was not a one-man show for the emperor, and many times, the emperor was also helpless.

But in the final analysis, Chen Huijie still wanted to ask his uncle why the obvious problems of the old city and the slums had never been dealt with. It couldn't be that he thought there was still a lot of time and there was no rush.

After listening to Chen Huijie's words, Lao Li fell silent for a moment, and said with a complicated look in his eyes:

"Mr. Chen, what have you been busy with these past few days? Judging from the situation, have you reached an equal alliance agreement with Governor Wei and the Rat King?"

"That's it."

Chen Huijie casually summoned the sword from the bed and hung it around his waist, then said casually:

"Mr. Li, now that the explosion has occurred, I have to get moving. If you're really worried, you might as well go find Lin Yuxia. Although she's already made preparations, I'm afraid she'll be a bit flustered when the action really begins."

"Are you going to the old town?"

Lao Li looked at Chen Huijie's posture and asked curiously:

"Are you going there to help catch the gang leader, or..."

"That's not my job. I've already taken care of all the gang matters in the old city, so I don't have to carry a shield and arrest people."

Chen Huijie could see that Lao Li wanted to follow him. He was very curious about his plan, but the part he was curious about was what the Guard Bureau was busy with. If he followed him, Lao Li would not be able to see what he was curious about.

Therefore, Chen Huijie did not argue with Lao Li for too long. After saying this, Chen Huijie pushed open the door of the room, glanced at Bai Jin who was browsing on his phone on the sofa above, and called out:

"Platinum, let's go, it's time for us to act."

"Okay boss."

When he heard the explosion, Bai Jin knew he had to get ready for work. He took this time to check online what was going on so that he could have a rough idea of what was going on. Then, Bai Jin immediately responded to Chen Huijie's words, picked up his bow, and jumped out of the window with him.

As for Sophia and Margaret, Chen Huijie didn't need to explain anything. When they were not called out by name, they knew that they had better stay in the apartment honestly.

the other side……

"Go, go, go!!! Go!"

"*Longmen swears* What the hell is this!"

Following the explosion, the gang members who were causing chaos in the old city in an attempt to unify the slums were all stunned. Then, everyone realized that what happened tonight had gotten out of hand and it was no longer just a simple gang fight.

As a result, these evil elements immediately scattered like birds and beasts. No matter what, today's events could not be linked to them. Otherwise, such a huge explosion would be fatal no matter how you think about it!

As the explosion occurred, the Guard Bureau immediately took action. The scattered patrol posts quickly formed groups of three to six people according to the instructions in the communicator and moved towards the designated location.

The large force of the Guards immediately received a direct order from the Governor's Office to lift all armed restrictions and block all the entrances and exits of the old city. After the blockade was completed, they suppressed anyone who tried to rush out of the old city, regardless of their identity.

Therefore, when the gang members realized that something was wrong and wanted to evacuate quickly, they found that the way they came was no longer passable. On a street, there were fully armed police officers on the left and thugs holding machetes and iron bars on the right. The atmosphere was extremely solemn.

In this tense standoff situation, the police officers also demonstrated a high degree of professionalism and the ability to respond calmly, and adopted cautious and orderly tactics according to the instructions received on the radio.

Moreover, the police officers also noticed some changes in this operation that were different from usual. The Guard Bureau was keeping in close contact with the on-site commander via radio to ensure the rapid transmission and execution of tactical orders.

This means that in this situation, the actions of police officers in various locations remain highly coordinated. At this time, the blockade is completed and new orders come over the radio. Then, the shield bearers form a solid protection in front, and the strikers follow closely behind, ready to respond to emergencies at any time and begin to advance inward.

Moreover, during the advancement, the police continuously issued warnings, asking gang members to stop resisting and lay down their weapons. There is no doubt that such warnings are not only a legal deterrent to gang members, but also an opportunity for them to reform.

However, facing the police's warning, just when the gang members were at a loss for a moment, suddenly a low-quality earth bomb was thrown onto the police officer's shield. The explosion was quite violent, causing the police officer with the shield to fall backwards. Although he was not seriously injured, this earth bomb was undoubtedly a very dangerous signal.

In the next second, the homemade bomb was like a lit fuse. As someone on the gang side took the lead in shouting and charging, these gang members began to try to attack the defense line of the Guard Bureau, wanting to escape from the old city. After all, in their eyes, the number of people in the Guard Bureau was far less than that of their own side, so what was there to be afraid of!

What they didn't notice was that after the melee, someone quietly escaped the battlefield. Then, with a flick of her hand, she removed her disguise, revealing her true face: the assassin's mother from Syracuse. Then, she donned a new disguise and blended in with another wave of fleeing gang members...

For a time, chaos of varying sizes broke out again in the old city, but this time the two sides fighting were the Guards and the gangs. If Chen Huijie was here, he would definitely sigh at the weak influence of the Guards in the slums. These gang members armed with simple weapons actually dared to charge into the ranks of the Guards.

But no matter how much they despised them, the gap in strength was still there. Just like the team that was first hit by the homemade bomb, facing the attack from the gang, the officers of the Guards did not panic. They remained calm and composed and continued to implement the established tactical plan. Through continuous advancement and suppression, the police gradually gained the upper hand and successfully forced the gang members into a relatively small area, and then began to arrest them.

But not everyone was trying to force their way through the checkpoint. In the darkness of the alley, there were always a few figures with cunning faces and flickering eyes. They would seize a gap in the chaotic conflict between police and criminals and take the opportunity to escape deep into the alley.

They crouched low, weaving quickly through the narrow alleys, each step cautious. The alleys, flanked by mottled walls and cluttered trash cans, provided a natural cover for their escape. The gang members kept looking back, fearing they would be spotted by the surrounding police.

However, the Guards also received relevant arrangements for this action and responded quickly. Some special police officers chased the kidnappers in the direction of their escape. They held flashlights and tried to illuminate the road ahead, while maintaining a high level of vigilance to prevent gang members from setting traps or ambushes.

However, the complex network of alleys and the continuous bends made the pursuit of the police extremely difficult. The gang members clearly knew the area very well, and they took advantage of every available obstacle and corner, constantly changing direction in an attempt to evade the police.

After a sharp turn, the kidnappers suddenly disappeared into the night, and the police lost track of them. The SWAT team immediately launched a search, dividing into small groups and meticulously checking every corner of the alley, their flashlight beams sweeping back and forth in the darkness, trying to capture any suspicious clues.

Time passed by, but the kidnappers seemed to have disappeared without a trace. The police realized that their pursuit had failed, but these officers did not feel frustrated at all, because they had received orders that if they could not catch the criminals, they would force them in this direction as much as possible, and now, they had obviously achieved their mission.

Who designed this action plan? It feels completely different from the previous ones, so much more thorough and streamlined...

Just as the police officer was muttering in his mind, the group of fleeing guys separated again. Some of them escaped by climbing over the wall, and some directly opened the sewer opening, intending to escape through the underground network.

However, those who climbed over the wall were illuminated by strong lights as soon as they landed, and those who walked into the sewer were caught by the police who were waiting for them as soon as they appeared. Their actions were obviously expected.

In response to this, Chen Huijie, who was in charge of the defense of the area, silently pursed her lips. At the same time, behind her, the figures of Chen Huijie and Bai Jin also quietly emerged...

Chapter 174 Chen Huijie: Not a buddy Jpg.

The slums and old town areas have become the default lawless areas for the Guards. Every year, a few hot-blooded new police officers, after receiving alarm calls from the slums and old town areas, rush in on their own and then come back covered in dust.

This has become a kind of onboarding routine in the Guards Bureau. To be honest, in a sense, this is not a bad habit. As far as the current situation in Longmen is concerned, if the police officers of the Guards Bureau really rush into those two urban areas without thinking, those gang members will not dare to do anything on the surface, but in secret, one day something like "being stabbed in the back with eight swords, committing suicide" may happen to a police officer.

However, Chen Huijie had never experienced such a thing. She was one of the rare police officers who, when she first took office, took the person back to the Guards Bureau the first time she went to the slums to arrest someone. Anyone with a discerning eye could understand who she was giving face to.

Chen Huijie herself understood this, but she did not intend to accept this kind of goodwill. She wanted to make the slums no longer a lawless place, and she was preparing for it.

Today...

"One group is in place."

"Team Two is here."

"Team Three...Team Three has successfully captured the fugitive."

"Team Seven has successfully apprehended the criminal..."

"Group Two has succeeded..."

Listening to the constant reports on the radio, Chen Huijie looked at the gang members in front of him who had just climbed over the wall and were captured, and fell into silence.

At the beginning, Chen Huijie was quite dissatisfied with the task assigned to him for this operation. He was asked to lead the team to guard the periphery. What was the purpose of this? It was obvious that he was not allowed to get involved in this operation. Was this protecting himself?

To be honest, Chen Huijie was so angry that she laughed.

But now, each team has accurately blocked the escaped prisoners, no matter they came out from the sewers or other strange places, they basically voluntarily sent themselves to the Guard Bureau.

Such an arrangement and such a calculation reminded Xiao Longnu of a figure, the guy who was annoying just by looking at him. This very personal plan made Chen Huijie too lazy to think about the things in the old city. On the one hand, she herself had to be busy dealing with affairs, and on the other hand, she felt that the guys in the old city could not compare with Chen Huijie in terms of intelligence.

Xiao Longnu no longer had to think about what would happen next. Most of the gangs in the poverty-stricken area were suppressed here, and the so-called "gang order" had been quietly disintegrated. With the Rat King as an insider, it was not difficult for the Guards to get involved.

Thinking of this, Chen Huijie suddenly felt empty inside. He was still thinking about how to slowly expand his influence and get his colleagues in the Guards Bureau to agree with his ideas about the slums. As a result, before this influence had time to develop, what he wanted to do in the slums had already been completed, and even exceeded his goals.

Then I will...

Ah, I know what I'm going to do.

Chen Huijie's eyes, which had been somewhat dim, suddenly brightened up again. Although the Guard Bureau had a good start this time, there would certainly be many things to deal with in the future. He could apply to be transferred to this area to assist in the work. It was impossible that guy had already figured out how to deal with all these subsequent matters!

At the same time, in the darkness on the rooftop behind Xiaolongnu, Chen Huijie listened to the movements in the old city and looked into the distance to see what was happening inside. Bai Jin also watched curiously. To be honest, this kind of scene was really rare in Casimir.

The arrest scene was naturally a picture of tension and chaos. Bai Jin could even feel an almost tangible tension in the air, as if time had slowed down, allowing people to clearly feel that every passing second was full of unknowns and variables.

By this time, the sirens had already been sounded, sharp and rapid, piercing the tranquil night sky and sounding the alarm for the operation. The police car flashed its dazzling red and blue lights, like flowing flames, illuminating everything around it in flickering light.

The alley was in chaos. The suspect's screams, the police's shouts, the roar of vehicles, and the shrieks of sirens intertwined into a piercing symphony. The SWAT team had to quickly adjust their tactics and split up to pursue the suspect.

They shuttled through the narrow alleys, sometimes jumping, sometimes running, and every movement was full of power and speed.

Then, they handed themselves over to the long-awaited officers of the Outer Guard Bureau...

So, this action was planned by the boss?

Bai Jin is not a fool. After seeing these clues, he has realized how well Chen Huijie has mastered this operation. It must be said that now Bai Jin really wants to open his boss's head to see what's going on and how he can come up with such a brilliant plan.

On Chen Huijie's side, he had already confirmed that the operation inside the old city was successful, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Recalling that in the previous timeline, it was almost this season. Chen Huijie was preparing to let the Guard Bureau enter the slums and introduce a new management plan. Both normal people and infected people were properly resettled, but the prerequisite for resettlement was that the Guard Bureau had to be able to carry out management work.

That morning, Chen Huijie was standing on the outskirts of the slums. He had just issued the order to "extend the signal range of the walkie-talkie to cover the slums" when he saw Shi Huaiya's figure after a long time.

Ever since her grandfather passed away, she has been busy stabilizing Longmen's economy. Although she still retains her identity as a superintendent of the Imperial Guard, everyone knows that it is difficult for her to come back.

This time, Shi Huaiya appeared to tell Chen Huijie some information, such as about the management plan. The "big guys" of the Longmen Business Federation clinked their glasses, said complacently, "You are overestimating your own abilities", and then talked about other things.

Therefore, Chen Huijie has no good feelings towards those businessmen, and there is no place for them in the future planning of Longmen. These people are really too arrogant, so arrogant that they have no brains. If such people are taken as teammates, they will be dragged to death.

Of course, Shi Huaiya thought so too. She walked up and poured the wine in her hand on the heads of the two men. While speaking, Shi Huaiya also had a very proud look on her face, as if she was taking credit from Chen Huijie.

If it were in private, Chen Huijie would definitely tease his childhood sweetheart, but in public, Chen Huijie could only give her a thumbs up and call it a day.

Especially, there are a group of uninvited guests today...
