Dragon Gate Swordsman

"Grasp...Who in this world can you, Wei Yanwu, absolutely grasp?"

"…Why do you make me sound like an ambitious person with no strategy or wisdom?"

"Because those who are good at planning and wise don't care so much about grasping, they prefer to try their best."

Wen Yue finally turned around and walked slowly to Wei Yanwu's desk. "This kid is pretty good, both in character and ability, but he lacks common sense and vision... From his sparring with Xingxiong, he doesn't even need outsiders to guide his growth. If you can't even tolerate this kind of unpolished gem, then what else can you expect from the Guard Bureau?"

These words were spoken directly and seriously, leaving Wei Yanwu somewhat stunned.

You have to know that Wen Yue is usually elegant and virtuous. Even if someone has any opinions about her actions, she will only remind them in other ways. It is rare for her to speak so directly.

"Are you... too optimistic about him?"

"No, I don't think highly of you, especially you now."

Wei Yanwu shrugged and said nothing.

He felt that his wife was making a big deal out of nothing. He was just a little unsure about Chongxiao's mysterious background, and it wasn't to the point of being suspicious.

Hmm... let's change the subject.

"Speaking of the Xel'Naga race, do you know anything about them?"

"Never heard of it."

"Me too, but Chongxiao's attitude is very firm, so it shouldn't be something he made up."

"Is this happening?"

Wen Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, then pondered for a moment, "Then I'll ask Bai Xue to go to Yanlu Pavilion in the Divine Capital to check if there are any records of this clan in ancient times."

Bai Xue is Wen Yue's personal bodyguard brought from the East Country. She is capable, reliable and extremely efficient. Generally, you can rest assured when you give her something to do. Yanlu Pavilion is the official archive data storage agency established by the Yan Kingdom's royal court. It was originally under the management of the Ministry of Personnel, but after the Twenty-Eight Strategies were proposed, it was transferred to the Ministry of Revenue. The stored data was also changed from official resumes and academic works to the vast Terra Encyclopedia.

However, Wei Yanwu shook his head and continued, "It's better not to let Bai Xue make this trip. There shouldn't be any in Yanlu Pavilion."

Chapter 5 I'm quite familiar with kidnapping

Many older Longmen residents know that this mobile city is not peaceful.

Not to mention the low-level villains, gangsters and people infected with mineral diseases in the slums in the surrounding areas, even the core urban area that Longmen is proud of will always attract those who take risks, hoping to get more Longmen coins than they can spend in their lifetime by making a big news.

The so-called big news, of course, was the kidnapping of wealthy people who were having a banquet in Longmen’s top hotel.

At 28:8 am, on the th floor of Feilong Building, a total of billionaires with a net worth of over million yuan and a group of high-ranking officials from Longmen's upper class were kidnapped.

After receiving the report from the patrol officer, the Royal Guard Bureau quickly organized an operation, surrounded the Feilong Building, and prepared to send out the special inspection team that had just been established a week ago... However, they had not even had a run-in period, so they were not the main force of this rescue operation.

"Huh? If not us, then who else?"

"Don't worry about it. Anyway, Governor Wei said so. We just need to follow the commando team and observe."

In the command vehicle equipped by the Imperial Guard Bureau for the Special Inspection Team, Xingxiong briefly explained the goals of this operation.

The special inspection team consists of 13 people. Except for 4 people who are still in their original departments to handle work handover and vacation, the rest of the members are all in place and rushed to Feilong Building in two cars.

Of course, not all of them are combatants. There are four other police officers, namely a communication equipment expert, a sniper rifle user, and a special Originium skills support. They will not participate in the frontal battle, so there will only be a four-man team following the commandos.

"Chongxiao, Haoyun, Dong Fang, the three of you must follow me and obey Commander Xie's orders. Do not act on your own."

"Is it Inspector Xie Ming? Is he in charge of the command this time?"

"Any questions?"

The Kuranta police officer named Haoyun spread his hands, but his expression seemed very unconvinced.

Before Chongxiao joined the Guards Bureau, he was the troublemaker who gave the superintendents a headache. Although he had excellent fighting ability and insight, he was too jealous and impulsive, and often contradicted his superiors... It was definitely a good move for Wei Yanwu to let Xingxiong take care of him, because this guy had been beaten up by Xingxiong before.

Another police officer named Dong Fang is a veteran of the Guard Bureau. His ability is only above average. He was selected into the Special Inspection Team because of his strong request.

"No, not at all."

"That's good. I don't want the special inspection team to have any problems on their first operation."

Xingxiong gave Haoyun a meaningful look, causing him to scratch his head in annoyance.

Compared to the serious Xingxiong, the excited Haoyun and the slightly nervous Dong Fang, Chongxiao is probably the least nervous one in the team.

At this moment, all he was thinking about was how to quickly get rid of all the kidnappers and then go back to the dormitory to sleep... He had read too much common sense about the Terra continent in the past few days, causing his eyes to become a little blurry.

"Chongxiao, why do you look like you're about to fall asleep?"

"Because I do want to sleep, Xing..."

"Call me sir!"

Xingxiong interrupted him rudely.

Even though he was just a biker gang member before, since he agreed to take over the Special Inspection Team from Wei Yanwu, he would definitely do his best to fulfill his responsibilities... That's what Xingxiong thought.

Then Chongxiao blinked his eyes, realizing something, and his lame expression quickly turned serious.

Just like that, the command vehicle drove all the way to the foot of Feilong Building...

The normally busy Emerald Street has now been blocked by a cordon set up by the Guards, and no civilians are allowed to enter.

A large number of police cars surrounded the four main entrances of the building. Barbed belts and traction ropes were set up outside the underground parking lot. Police officers armed with riot gear were on standby nearby, monitoring the movements on the upper floors of the building at all times.

According to witnesses who escaped from the building and surveillance footage, there were approximately twenty kidnappers this time, all armed with lethal weapons such as impact crossbows and grenades... No one knew how they passed the security check, but everything happened very suddenly.

The on-site commander was Xie Ming, who had just been promoted to senior superintendent half a month ago. He was a relatively young Luper who had been working in the Guard Bureau for several years.

After instructing the members of the inspection team responsible for long-distance support to stay on standby, Xingxiong took Chongxiao and the other two to the temporary command center to report to Xie Ming.

However, the commander-in-chief's reaction was a little bit wrong...

"Special Inspection Team... Commander Wei sent you out right away?"

Xie Ming was probably not being sarcastic, it was just a simple surprise. After all, even if they were elites selected from various departments of the Guard Bureau, none of them held important positions. In other words, they were a group of "problem children."

Especially this Xingxiong, remember that she was a drag racer on the outer ring of Longmen a week ago?

"It is indeed Commander Wei's order. We will follow your commando team."

"……OK then."

Xie Ming was straightforward and didn't even look at Haoyun who turned his head away deliberately.

Soon, the commando team of the Guard Bureau assembled at the back door that was invisible to the senior executives of the Feilong Building, and the four-member team of the Special Inspection Group also arrived here.

Most of the police officers in combat uniforms were not equipped with high-lethal long-range weapons. The reason was that Wei Yanwu had already ordered that prisoners should be captured as much as possible, and the average Terran person was thick-skinned and tough. As long as they were not shot at unprotected parts, even impact crossbows would not cause fatal injuries. The only thing they needed to be careful about was grenades.

"I don't want to write a death report to anyone after the operation, so take it easy."

While speaking, Xie Ming glared at Haoyun and said, "Also, according to reliable intelligence, these kidnappers are very good at disguise, otherwise they would not have been able to pass the security check so smoothly... Be vigilant and don't easily accept civilian identities."

At this moment, Chongxiao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "I do have a suggestion, sir."

"What advice?"

"If you really want to ensure absolute safety, how about capturing the hostages as well?"

The air suddenly became quiet.

Xie Ming was stunned, Xingxiong stroked his forehead and sighed, Haoyun tried hard to hold back his laughter, and the other police officers all froze in place.

To be fair, this is indeed a method that can guarantee absolute safety, but if it is really implemented... the Guard Bureau will probably be finished.

When Xie Ming came to his senses, he was so angry that he thought, "I thought that as a member of the special inspection team, you must have something profound to say when you came to the crime scene, but I didn't expect you to say such unreasonable words!"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, Chongxiao."

Seeing that Xie Ming's face looked unhappy, Xingxiong quickly spoke up to avoid any further trouble.

However, as they were about to take action, they didn't know that the real trouble had already appeared...

……

The banquet held on the 28th floor of the Feilong Building was organized by the Fei Group, the owner of the building, to celebrate the second anniversary of the building's completion. By the way, they also planned to exhibit a batch of precious jewelry imported from Victoria.

This kind of celebratory banquet is not uncommon in the core urban area of ​​Longmen, and it is also a favorite activity for wealthy people who have nothing to do on weekdays.

Entrepreneurs can look for strategic partners here, the second generation of rich people can look for young and beautiful girls here, and even rivals who don't like each other can confront and test each other here... In short, except for real foodies, it is most appropriate to describe the people attending the banquet as having their own ulterior motives...

Just as Xie Ming said, the kidnappers who suddenly attacked were very good at disguising themselves. They were polite one second and suddenly pulled out their impact crossbows the next.

But I don't know if it can be considered lucky, but these kidnappers were very restrained. Except for a few bodyguards who wanted to seize the opportunity and were nailed to the wall by crossbows, the frightened local tyrants were not seriously injured.

In addition, the way they guarded the hostages was also very strange... Normally, the kidnappers would gather the hostages together so that they could guard them with the least amount of manpower, but these guys did the opposite and let the local tyrants spread out in three different banquet halls...

What exactly do they want to do?

"It certainly wasn't for the jewels."

"Hmm... I thought so too, but they didn't seem to make any demands on the Guard Bureau."

"This is easy to understand. It's just like waiting for a good price in business. They probably want to thwart the Guards' actions so that they can negotiate terms."

"how do you know?"

"Ahahaha... I'm already familiar with kidnapping."

The blonde film girl squatting next to the banquet table sighed helplessly.

The Filin people are probably one of the most common races on this land, with large numbers distributed in various countries, but this one... seems a little different.

She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with an exquisite dress that wrapped her petite body tightly. Her long golden hair hung down behind her in waves, as if connected to her furry tail. Her emerald green pupils and the trembling ears on her forehead were extremely lively. It was obvious that she was a lively but well-educated lady.

The person she was talking to was a beautiful girl who had a great figure and a calm and serious temperament even in her neutral dress. Her long dark blue hair tied behind her head looked very refreshing and capable.

But what attracted more attention was the pair of long horns on the girl's head... They were neither the Vaifan, who was famous for his physical fitness, nor the Sarkaz, who had a bad reputation, but a rare species that only lived in Yan Country:

Dragon.

"...In short, we can't just sit here and wait for death."

The dragon-horned girl slowly raised her head and glanced around the banquet hall where she was. "At least we should think of a solution..."

"Fuck him?"

"...You barbecued pork cat! Watch less TV dramas in the future!"

The real name of the Char Siu Cat is Beatrix Swire, the daughter of Swire Group, one of the top business giants in Longmen. The dragon-horned girl who is looking down on her is called Chen Huijie, a top student who has just been admitted to Victoria Guard College.

This land has never lacked talented people... Let's not talk about Shi Huaiya for now. Chen Huijie, who was able to be admitted to Victoria Guard College with the first place, is definitely a dragon gate... and even an existence that can go down in the history of the entire Yan Kingdom.

Of course, the kidnappers may not be aware that there are people of this level among the hostages. Otherwise, even if they don't send people to keep a close watch on them, they must make sure that they will not cause some "extra" danger...

"Hey, hey... don't shout, what if you attract them?"

Shi Huaiya hurriedly grabbed Chen Huijie's hand and pulled her down to squat, "I was just joking..."

"Is this a time to joke?!"

"No... no, that's fine, right? Xiao Jie, I need to confirm something first. How many shots can you hit at most?"

As he finished speaking, Shi Huaiya's expression became serious.

Chen Huijie hesitated for a moment, then continued, "If I can seize the initiative, I am confident that I can deal with two or three of them."

"Yeah, there are only six people watching us here. If we can separate them... Hey, it seems that my acting talent will come in handy."

After saying that, Shi Huaiya gave her best friend a look that said "just watch", then stood up and walked towards the nearest kidnapper.

The kidnappers were not dressed in the same attire. Some wore the uniforms of Feilong Building staff, while others wore regular business suits. However, they had one thing in common: their expressions were very calm, and they did not look like ordinary criminals.

Shi Huaiya kept this detail in mind, but put on a timid and frightened expression on his face.

"Well...well, I want to...I want to go to the toilet..."

"Go back and hold it in, or you'll pee in your pants."

Shi Huaiya failed miserably!

A few seconds later, the film girl was driven back to her original place, wagging her tail angrily, wishing she could kill the kidnapper with her eyes.

As for Chen Huijie... he didn't take advantage of the situation, but frowned and started thinking of other ways.

This banquet hall is the outermost one. As long as we can rush out of the side door on the right, we can reach the stairs. Therefore, as long as we can deal with those six people, at least the hostages here can escape downstairs...

The problem is that if all the kidnappers are not quickly eliminated... or at least tied up, the hostages who flee in panic will become sitting ducks.

So although Shi Huaiya failed to lure away one or two kidnappers, his idea was definitely correct.

"Barbecued Cat, how long do you think it will take for the Guards to get here?"

"It's better not to come. Who knows if these guys' target will be the Imperial Guard Bureau."
