Espionage: I became sworn brothers with Zheng Yaoxian at the beginning, and became the Seventh Broth

Chapter 673 One Shot Kills

During the torrential rain, the people inside Tongguzhai were locked in a standoff.

The eastern gate of Jiangcheng.

A convoy of military vehicles slowly drove in.

Upon seeing the military vehicle appear, the city guards who were responsible for guarding the city gate and were hiding inside the gate opening in the rain hurriedly pulled up the barriers blocking the road.

The convoy continued on.

Inside a teahouse near the city gate, Xu Baichuan was sitting on the second floor by the window, drinking tea and eating dried fruit.

"Xiao Qi is so lucky."

"If it weren't for this sudden downpour, they might not have been able to catch the person." Xu Baichuan felt frustrated when he mentioned this.

With great difficulty, he managed to extract Mayor Wang's whereabouts from Ye Shaohong by leveraging his personal relationship with Ye Shaohong.

But before he could lead his men into action, a torrential downpour began.

This is fine.

The rain blocked their way. They had been ordered to come to Jiangcheng, but they had no suitable means of transportation. Helpless, they had no choice but to give up their goal that was about to be achieved.

"Fourth brother."

"Then what should we do?"

"Mayor Wang has been arrested and is now in Brother Qi's hands. We can't just lead a group to force our way into Jiangcheng Station, can we?"

Opposite Xu Baichuan sat a middle-aged man in a black robe, with a cup of tea on the table in front of him. The tea was full and hadn't been touched at all.

As the convoy slowly drove past the teahouse, the man immediately frowned.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"It's already quite an achievement that I was able to get some information out of Xiao Qi based on my relationship with him. You still want to lead people to force your way into Jiangcheng Station?"

"I think you've had enough of living!"

"Believe it or not, if you lead your men in today, your head will be hanging on this city gate tower tomorrow!"

Xu Baichuan flicked his hand, tossing the half-handful of melon seeds he was holding onto the tea tray, before giving the man a disgruntled look.

I believe you!

"Everyone in the Special Service knows how ruthless Seventh Brother is."

"But Fourth Brother, if we don't take action, we won't be able to complete the task assigned by the boss."

You have to think of a way.

The middle-aged man responded with a bitter expression and a sense of helplessness.

"What a load of rubbish!"

"Is Xiaoqi such an easy person to talk to?"

"There's no other way. Let's wait a bit and then contact the Jinling headquarters directly. Let the boss give the order personally so we can go to Jiangcheng Station and interrogate that guy surnamed Wang directly."

"The boss is right. In Jiangcheng, if he has a task, he can just give it to Xiaoqi directly. Why make us make another trip?"

"How are things now...?"

Before Xu Baichuan could finish his complaint, a gunshot suddenly pierced the rain.

"Ok?"

"Where did the gunshot come from?" The sudden turn of events made Xu Baichuan stop his nagging and complaining. He stood up and stuck his head out the window.

Upon seeing this, Xu Baichuan's expression immediately froze.

"Oh shit."

"Who has the audacity to attempt to assassinate someone from my Special Service Division right here in Jiangcheng?"

"What are you standing there for? Go out and help!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Baichuan tossed his long gown aside, picked up a top hat from the table, put it on, and ran straight downstairs from the teahouse.

Following his movements, several well-dressed men, also dressed in conventional attire, began to move as well.

When the villain rushed out of the teahouse and onto the street, the vehicles that had been slowly moving through the rain were now parked on the street.

A dozen or so agents from the Jiangcheng station of the Special Operations Department were using the train doors as cover to fire at the building ahead. Upon seeing this, Xu Baichuan immediately smiled.

"Your luck has arrived."

After muttering to himself, Xu Baichuan tucked the hem of his long robe into his waistband, then, gun in hand, rushed into the rain.

"Brother in front, I am the director of the Second Division of the Special Service Department's Nanjing Headquarters."

"Don't shoot."

"We're here to help you!"

Amidst shouts, Xu Baichuan and his men had already run more than ten meters away.

"Is that Fourth Brother?"

"I am Li Yunlong. Don't fire. We're on the same side. Let Fourth Brother come over."

From within the convoy, which was putting up a fierce resistance, a slightly weak voice came, and then Xu Baichuan ran over with his men. "Yunlong?"

"It's you! What's going on?"

"How could anyone dare to ambush and kill you on the road?"

Xu Baichuan arrived at the convoy. He first looked in the direction of Li Yunlong, following the sound, and then couldn't wait to ask.

"No...don't know."

At this moment, Li Yunlong had already collapsed to the ground, blood streaming down one of his arms, weakly responding as the rain washed over him.

"You are hurt?"

"Go over there, brothers, and check on his injuries."

Xu Baichuan wiped his face with his hand, brushing away the rainwater that had streamed down it, before he could clearly see the situation of the battle.

As he made the arrangements, he crouched down and slowly moved forward. Soon.

Xu Baichuan moved to the side of a car with the door open.

He turned around and glanced at it, and then Xu Baichuan was dumbfounded.

What did he see?

He saw that Mayor Wang was sitting in the back seat of the car, and there was a clear bullet hole mark on Mayor Wang's forehead.

Blood and brain matter were slowly dripping down from the bullet hole.

obviously.

Mayor Wang is as dead as can be.

"Oh shit."

"What's going on? How did someone die?"

Xu Baichuan was genuinely bewildered. He couldn't understand how Mayor Wang, whom he had just located today, could disappear so quickly.

It doesn't matter that Mayor Wang is dead, but what about his mission?

"One shot, one kill!"

"Fourth Brother, I messed up the task assigned by the station chief, you have to save me!"

Li Yunlong was injured, but he couldn't care less about that now. He recalled Ye Shaohong's ruthless methods and was filled with fear. Fortunately, Xu Baichuan was there, so he thought of asking Xu Baichuan for help.

"You want me to save you?"

"There's nothing I can do about this. You're Xiao Qi's person, you should just go find him directly."

"The target is dead. The most urgent task is to find the murderer as soon as possible."

"Let them charge forward."

That's what they said, but Xu Baichuan also knew that it was impossible. In normal weather, with their group of twenty-odd people, they might be able to find the perpetrator.

But it's pouring rain right now.

The continuous rain fell, reaching over two meters high, obscuring the view of the surroundings. In addition, it was nearing dusk, and the sky was gradually darkening.

Under these circumstances, trying to catch the perpetrator is simply wishful thinking.

"Grass!"

"If I had known it would be like this, I shouldn't have fucking come to help."

"Now look what happened. I didn't gain anything from cheating, and I've ended up with a bunch of trouble for no reason."

"Even if I don't want to see Xiaoqi now, I have no reason not to go!"
