At thirty, I started my comeback from the intelligence system.

"Three foreign armed men?" Director Wang's heart sank, and he had no choice but to order reinforcements.

The scene descended into complete chaos.

Lu Jiahao, Li Yilong, and Carlos's team exchanged fire, all subtly wary of a possible all-out attack by the police. Zhao Longsheng, like a ghost, occasionally peeked out from behind cover, using a captured pistol to call out names one by one.

At the moment the gun went off, Carlos pulled Chen Geng behind a corner of a shipping container. The bullets struck the metal of the container with a deafening clang.

His heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to burst out of his chest.

In the chaos, he saw the white mercenary named Diego's chest erupt in blood, and he collapsed without uttering a sound. The black man, Marcos, was shot in the shoulder, groaned, rolled to the edge of the container, and barely managed to continue firing with one hand.

Without a second thought, Chen Geng instinctively shoved Carlos, who was blocking his way, aside and prepared to run away!

Suddenly, with a loud "bang!", the shotgun pellets struck the shipping container, a few grazing the two men and causing a burning pain. Chen Geng stopped in his tracks in fright.

Carlos glanced at Chen Geng, still shaken, his eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions and "approval".

He quickly pulled Chen Geng to find cover and crouched down, then hissed in broken Mandarin, "Thanks!"

It turned out that Chen Geng's push had just saved him from a fatal shot.

In addition, Chen Geng happened to stop in his tracks in fright, so Carlos did not know that Chen Geng was running away and thought that he was his savior.

"Captain! Diego is dead! Marcos is wounded!" came the anxious call from another member of Carlos's squad who was keeping watch outside the dock.

Carlos's eyes turned cold; he knew he couldn't delay any longer.

He quickly gave the order into his headset: "Juan! Report the evacuation route! We're tied down!"

After a brief hiss of electricity, a calm voice rang out: "Captain, this is Juan. To the southeast, at Pier 7 in Zone C, there's a gray speedboat. The key is under the dashboard. The police are closing in, but the southeast sluice gate is their weak point. I... I'll create an opportunity for you. Over."

Carlos's eyes flickered as he glanced back at the chaotic battlefield.

Lu Jiahao had been shot in the arm and was being dragged back into the warehouse by his two or three remaining men.

Li Yilong, covered in blood, staggered back to the railing at the edge of the dock while firing back.

He glanced back at the dark, churning river, then at Lu Jiahao's men closing in and the SWAT officers flanking him from afar, his face a mixture of despair and madness.

"Lu Jiahao! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

Li Yilong roared and used his last bit of strength to knock away one of Lu Jiahao's men who pounced on him. However, he was hit in the back by another man with an iron rod, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He lost his balance and screamed as he tumbled off the edge of the dock, which was more than three meters high.

With a "plop," he fell into the surging river and was instantly swallowed by the dark water, leaving only ripples on the surface and a trace of blood.

"Someone has fallen into the river! Quickly, search the river!"

A policeman shouted, and several searchlights immediately swept across the river, but nothing could be seen except for the rolling waves.

Without further hesitation, Carlos grabbed Chen Geng's arm and growled, "Let's go! To Sector C!"

He took one last look at the injured Marcos, then, with Chen Geng in tow, used the containers and debris as cover and sped off in the southeast.

Marcos was bleeding profusely from his abdomen and had lost the ability to move. He understood his captain's meaning and slowly pulled out a grenade.

Zhao Longsheng spotted Carlos and Chen Geng's movements, but he was temporarily suppressed by the remnants of Lu Jiahao's two men and the approaching SWAT team's firepower, making it impossible to intercept them effectively. He gritted his teeth and shouted into the communicator, "Chen Geng! Respond! Chen Geng!"

But Chen Geng's communicator had already been discarded and there was no response.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Carlos had escaped, Li Yilong had fallen into the river, and Lu Jiahao was left with only two wounded subordinates, while police were everywhere.

Despair flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a ruthless glint.

He quickly pulled a specially made satellite phone from his pocket, pressed a shortcut key, and hissed, "Third Uncle! Something's happened at the docks! Police, and unidentified mercenaries... I'm doomed! Protect me!"

After saying that, without waiting for a response, he slammed the phone onto the concrete ground, stomped on it several times, picked up the broken pieces, and threw them forcefully into the river not far away.

After doing all this, he raised his hands and shouted at the approaching SWAT officers, "Don't shoot! I surrender! I want to see a lawyer!"

Lu Jiahao was pinned to the ground by the special police and handcuffed. He had injuries on his face and a sinister look in his eyes, but he kept his mouth tightly shut and didn't say a word.

Director Wang listened to the reports from various departments with a livid face.

Mu Xueke stood beside him, her hands clenched tightly, her knuckles white.

"Report! The main area is under control! Seven gangsters, led by Lu Jiahao, have been captured, and more than ten others have been killed or wounded! Three foreign armed men have been discovered; two are dead, and one is seriously wounded and captured! Thirteen women illegally detained have been rescued! A large quantity of weapons and ammunition has been seized!"

"Report! A suspicious person has fallen into the river and is missing. Search in progress!"

"Report! Two suspicious individuals have been spotted in Southeast Sector C, attempting to escape by motorboat! Our speedboats are in pursuit!"

"Report! One of our snipers has lost contact! His body has been found at sniper point number 3, and his equipment has been stripped! There is suspicion of enemy personnel in disguise!"

The last message sent a chill down the spines of both Director Wang and Mu Xueke. There were still enemies lurking? And disguised as police officers?

"Stop that speedboat! We can't let them get away! Notify the water police to block the river! Helicopters!" Director Wang ordered urgently.

However, no sooner had the order been given than cries and chaos came through the speedboat's channel: "Sniper! On the crane at 9 o'clock! Ah—!" A gunshot rang out, followed by the sound of the speedboat crashing out of control.

In the distance, a figure dressed in police sniper disguise was seen precisely firing a sniper rifle at the pursuing police boats and marine police trying to approach Area C from the middle of the towering port cranes.

His marksmanship was excellent, and each shot hindered the police pursuit.

"Damn it! Those foreign militants have backup!" Director Wang instantly understood what was going on!

"Kill him!" Director Wang roared.

Police fire immediately rained down on the crane, but the disguised sniper was extremely cunning, changing positions after firing a few shots and using the crane's complex steel structure to conceal himself and continue to harass the operator.

Although they couldn't completely stop the police from closing in, they bought Carlos valuable time.

Taking advantage of the firing window and chaos created by Juan, Carlos drove the gray motorboat like an arrow, breaking through the police's not-yet-fully-closed water blockade and fleeing wildly downstream into the dark waterway!

Chen Geng was pinned to the boat by him, surrounded by the howling river wind and the intense gunfire, with the icy river water splashing onto his face from time to time.
