Chapter 107 Assault on Bai Zhimin
The night was as dark as ink. Yan Shuo's car was parked quietly at a secluded street corner. His secretary, Wawa Xiaomi, was in the passenger seat, holding two palm-sized radio transmitters firmly in her hands, always on high alert.
Yan Shuo rested one hand on the steering wheel, his gaze sweeping over the Japanese sentry posts at the intersection. He lightly pressed the accelerator, and the car drove through the street, avoiding both visible and hidden checkpoints.
As for sending and receiving telegrams, with Xiaomi around, he doesn't need to worry about it at all.
Xiaomi can control two machines and two call signs simultaneously, sending and receiving messages smoothly and accurately.
Not long after, Xiaomi received a telegram; the encrypted telegram was quickly deciphered.
"The headquarters at Yamashiro replied: They agree to execute Saeki Nobuyoshi. This man is guilty of heinous crimes and deserves to die."
Yan Shuo's lips curled into a cold smile as he muttered to himself, "Alright, Saeki Shinkai, you should collect your meal ticket now."
Meanwhile, outside a secluded detached villa on the outskirts of the city, Xu Li, along with Wang Qiang, Cao Shuangmin, and other team members, lay in ambush in the bushes, their eyes fixed on their target—the third secret preferential residence of the Mei Agency, and the last location they were to investigate.
The two secluded residences had long been deserted, leaving only a lone guard watching over the empty houses, which were of no value.
But this third place is clearly different.
The villa was quiet all around, yet it exuded a sense of wariness that kept strangers at bay.
Three black cars were parked at the entrance, each with someone sitting in the driver's seat. The embers of cigarettes flickered in the night, and there were also figures moving vaguely in the passenger seats, clearly lookouts.
"Damn it, finally found the right place." Wang Qiang lowered his voice, licked his dry, chapped lips, and a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
Xu Li raised his hand and pressed down on Wang Qiang's shoulder, signaling him to calm down. He then turned to Cao Shuangmin beside him: "Minzi, see? Three cars, all with the windows slightly open. Go over there in a bit, and drop two grenades into each car. No matter how many people are inside, just blow them all up!"
Cao Shuangmin grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, and patted the grenade tucked into his waistband. His tone was confident: "Brother Li, just you wait and see! Back in our training class, I was number one in the throwing test! Forget car window cracks, even fourth-floor windows, I can hit them anywhere I point, like throwing a cabbage stalk—absolutely accurate!"
"Stop talking nonsense." Xu Li glared at him, his tone serious. "Remember, throw it all and get out of there. The brothers will cover you. Also, when you storm in, make sure to eliminate all the enemies; leave no one alive!"
"Understood!" Cao Shuangmin replied, her eyes instantly sharpening.
Wang Qiang waved behind him, and two team members immediately handed him five grenades.
Wang Qiang took out another one from his pocket, making a total of six, and handed them to Cao Shuangmin in two batches: "Two for each car, not one less."
Cao Shuangmin took the grenade, weighed it in his hand, and then tucked it into his waistband. Crouching low, he stealthily made his way towards the car like a cat.
He moved with extremely light steps, making almost no sound as he stepped on the grass. Under the cover of the house's shadow, he quickly reached a spot less than ten meters from the car.
"Now!"
As soon as Xu Li finished speaking, Cao Shuangmin suddenly darted out of the shadows and exerted force with her arm.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
Three grenades, with a soft whooshing sound, precisely slipped through the car window cracks and landed in the back seats of the three cars respectively.
Before the people inside the car could react, Cao Shuangmin flicked her wrist again, and three more grenades followed in quick succession, each one landing precisely through the car window.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Three loud bangs followed, and flames suddenly shot into the sky!
The blast wave ripped off the car roofs, sending shards of glass and blood flying everywhere. The screams from inside the cars were abruptly cut short as the three vehicles instantly turned into three burning fireballs, filling the air with the strong smell of gunpowder and blood.
Almost at the same moment the explosion occurred, a team member holding a transparent bulletproof shield rushed to Cao Shuangmin's back and firmly protected him behind the shield.
The flash of the explosion illuminated Cao Shuangmin's figure. The guards in the mansion immediately sensed something was wrong, and gunshots rang out!
"Da da da!"
The bullets struck the bulletproof shield with a crisp "clanging" sound, but could not advance an inch.
"attack!"
At Xu Li's command, the six team members, who were already prepared, immediately charged forward in tactical formation. The first member held up a shield to clear the way, while the five behind him were all armed with Thompson submachine guns, their muzzles spitting fire as they wildly sprayed bullets at the doors and windows of the mansion.
These Thompson submachine guns were all high-quality items smuggled in by Yan Shuo. They were extremely powerful and had a very fast rate of fire, instantly suppressing the counterattack inside the house.
"Charge in!"
The shield bearer roared and slammed open the mansion's door.
The team members filed in, the sound of submachine guns echoing inside, accompanied by the screams and wails of the guards.
There were more than a dozen guards in the villa, as well as an officer dressed in the uniform of a Japanese captain, who was obviously in charge here.
They were stunned by the sudden attack, and their hasty counterattack was weak and ineffective, unable to withstand the well-trained team members.
The bullets from the Thompson submachine gun rained down like a storm, and the guards fell one by one into pools of blood. The Japanese captain was about to draw his gun to fight back when Wang Qiang fired a burst of bullets through his chest and killed him on the spot.
"Search! Find Bai Zhimin!" Xu Li rushed into the house, his eyes quickly scanning the surroundings, and shouted sharply.
The team members immediately dispersed and searched each room one by one.
Soon, a team member shouted from a second-floor bedroom: "Brother Li! Found him! He's here!"
Xu Li and Wang Qiang rushed upstairs immediately, only to find a man in a respectable suit huddled under the bed in the bedroom, trembling all over, his face full of terror—it was the traitor Bai Zhimin.
"Bai Zhimin!" Xu Li gritted his teeth and kicked him out from under the bed.
Bai Zhimin fell to the ground, scrambling and kowtowing to Xu Li, crying and wailing, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I know I was wrong! I can provide you with intelligence! I know all the information about the Mei Agency!"
"Intelligence?" Wang Qiang sneered, stepping on his back to immobilize him. "The intelligence you sold to the Mei Agency caused the deaths of countless brothers. Now you realize your mistake? Too late!"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Qiang pulled out his pistol, aimed it at Bai Zhimin's head, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, Bai Zhimin's body twitched twice and then fell completely still.
Xu Li squatted down and searched Bai Zhimin's body, then glanced at the things on the table—stacks of Japanese yen and US dollars were neatly stacked in the drawer, along with a stack of intelligence papers filled with writings about the deployment and supply routes of the anti-Japanese armed forces.
"Collect all this money and intelligence, and take it back to the captain," Xu Li ordered, then glanced around the room. "Check to see if anyone escaped! Once you've confirmed everything is in order, leave immediately!"
The team members quickly checked the room and confirmed that all the guards and officers inside were dead; there were no survivors.
They then packed up the money and intelligence and quickly evacuated the mansion.
