Gangster heir? Please call me a legitimate entrepreneur.

Snowflakes, carried by the northwest wind, pelted the windshield of the riot control vehicle.

The windshield wipers swung back and forth, making a dry, harsh rubber friction sound.

Three black armored vehicles painted with SWAT markings rumbled and crashed into the main road in the city center, crushing the ice shards on the ground.

The heating wasn't on in the carriage.

A pungent, sultry smell of sweat mixed with the strong odor of gun oil made one feel nauseous.

Captain Gu sat in the passenger seat, his thumb rubbing back and forth against the slightly protruding safety latch.

The stubble on his chin was stiff and prickly, sticking to his fingertips.

"Make sure the Velcro straps on your bulletproof vests are fastened securely!"

Captain Gu turned his head and shouted into the back of the car in a rough voice.

"Everyone, be on your guard! Su Ye and his gang used to be the kind of guys who would grab territory with machetes in hand."

"If pushed too far, they might pull out a few homemade hunting rifles from somewhere."

The SWAT officer next to him, Xiao Li, swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down twice.

He gripped the riot shield tightly with both hands, his knuckles turning white.

"Captain Gu... are we really taking this small group to raid Sihai's headquarters?"

Xiao Li was so nervous that he kept stuttering, and his bulletproof helmet slipped down, covering half of his eyebrow.

"I heard from Old Zhang from the anti-gang squad next door that the people in the Sihai Security Department are all muscle monsters, and they can eat three bowls of rice in one meal."

"Is our tear gas... enough to knock them out?"

Captain Gu rolled his eyes in annoyance.

He slapped Xiao Li's helmet with a dull "thud".

"Giving others credit! No matter how tough your muscles are, can they be tougher than a bullet?"

He scratched his chin, clenching his back teeth.

"Kick the door open, forget everything else, throw three gas cylinders in. Even if there's an elephant inside, it'll have to kneel down!"

"squeak--"

The driver jerked the steering wheel and slammed on the brakes.

The tires moved forward half a meter on the snow, kicking up a patch of mud, and came to a stop in the square in front of the Sihai Building.

The acrid smell of burning low-quality diesel fuel seeped into the car through the gaps in the doors.

"Get off the bus! Group one, block the front door! Group two, take the rear route!"

Captain Gu kicked open the car door and rushed out with his gun in hand.

A cold wind swirled and blew into his collar, making him shiver.

He crouched low, his combat boots crunching on the frozen snow.

Dozens of heavily armed special police officers, like a group of black ghosts, quickly dispersed.

The beams of tactical flashlights crisscrossed in the snowy night, sweeping across the green belt in front of the building.

There was no movement.

Captain Gu touched the back of the thick white marble pillar at the main entrance, his back pressed against the cold stone.

He was breathing heavily, his white breath fogging up his tactical goggles.

He reached up and grabbed his sleeve to wipe the lenses haphazardly.

He poked half his head out, ready to give hand signals to the demolition expert behind him.

As a result, when those eyes widened, the person froze.

Captain Gu's forehead veins throbbed uncontrollably twice, and even the muzzle of his gun trembled.

I didn't see a tightly closed security roller shutter door.

They didn't run into any of the henchmen carrying steel pipes and acting as lookouts.

This 22-story building is so brightly lit from the lobby to the top floor that it's almost blinding.

The stark white incandescent light shone through the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the snow-covered landscape outside as if it were daytime.

Two large glass doors, each over two meters wide, were wide open.

The heating inside was on full blast, and a sweet, cloying aroma of red dates and goji berries was wafting out through the cracks in the door.

Xiao Li, holding a gun, hunched over and leaned closer.

"Captain, Captain... why is this door open? Aren't you afraid of being robbed?"

Captain Gu remained silent.

His gaze was fixed on the top of the glass door.

A few red nylon ropes were casually tied to the metal handle of the door frame.

A gust of wind blew, pulling a huge red banner with yellow lettering, making a whooshing sound.

The row of large, glittering gold characters on the banner was even more eye-catching than police lights.

"A warm welcome to the leaders of the Municipal Public Security Bureau for visiting and inspecting the annual public security work at Sihai Group!"

Xiao Li followed Captain Gu's gaze and looked over.

They gasped in shock.

The cold air in his mouth choked him, causing him to cough violently.

"Ahem... Captain Gu! We've let the cat out of the bag! Su Ye's putting up banners here and cursing us!"

Xiao Li was so anxious that he jumped up and down, his shield hitting the snow with a thud.

Captain Gu grabbed Xiao Li by the back of the neck and forcefully pushed him back behind the pillar.

"Shut up! You don't know anything!"

Captain Gu exhaled two thick plumes of white smoke from his nostrils, his eyes fierce as if he wanted to devour someone.

"The Empty City Stratagem! This is the Empty City Stratagem from Sun Tzu's Art of War!"

He extended his index finger, which was gloved with tactical gloves, and pointed heavily in the direction of the lobby.

"That Su Ye is too cunning. He's putting on this 'I'm not afraid of boiling water' act just to fool us and buy us time!"

Xiao Li was stunned when he heard this, and scratched his helmet.

"Delaying time? Where are they then?"

"It's on the second floor! In the finance office!"

Captain Gu became more and more certain as he thought about it, his right hand gripping the gun handle tightly, his knuckles cracking.

"Believe it or not, this floor is practically deserted. Upstairs, it's definitely a complete mess right now!"

A whole drama instantly flashed through his mind.

"Su Ye's personal secretary is probably stuffing boxes of black papers into the shredder right now! That machine must be belching black smoke!"

"That bald guy Lei Hu is definitely smashing a computer hard drive with a giant sledgehammer!"

"And those suit-wearing thugs in the Ministry of Justice, they're probably lined up right now, flushing fake invoices down the toilet!"

Captain Gu spoke faster and faster, his lips twitching.

He couldn't wait any longer.

If we wait even one more minute, all the evidence that could have nailed Su Ye to the pillar of shame would have turned into pulp in the sewer.

"One group, follow me!"

Captain Gu pressed the butt of the rifle firmly against his shoulder and gripped the trigger with his index finger.

He glanced back at his brothers, who were stamping their feet in the cold.

I didn't dare go through the main entrance.

Who knows if there are booby traps or tripwires buried under that wide-open glass door?

The methods used by organized crime are extremely dirty.

Captain Gu crouched down and circled around the wall to the side of the building.

There was a fireproof side door for employees, through which a dim light shone.

The door wasn't locked properly.

He took two steps back and inhaled a deep breath of the cold air, which smelled of snow.

The thigh muscles tensed up suddenly, and the waist exerted force.

"Bang!"

The heavy, non-slip military boots slammed hard against the wooden door.

The door slammed against the wall with a deafening crash, and plaster began to fall off the wall.

"Don't move! Police are investigating!"

Captain Gu shouted at the top of his lungs.

Covered in snow and wind, they charged into a corridor covered with a gray carpet like wolves and tigers.

She drew a fan shape on her chest with the micro-puff in her hand.

Dozens of special police officers rushed in like tigers descending a mountain, their riot shields colliding and making dull thuds as they squeezed together in the narrow passageway.

"The finance office is on the second floor, turn left! Hurry! Don't let them flush the toilet!"

Captain Gu took the lead and rushed up the stairs.

The snow on the soles of his shoes made him slip on the steps, almost causing him to stumble.

He grabbed the stainless steel handrail and took two steps at a time to climb up to the second-floor landing.

He kicked open the double-leaf glass spring door of the second-floor office area.

"Hands on your heads! Everyone, get down on your knees!"

The sound exploded in the spacious office area.

Captain Gu held up his gun, his eyes wide like copper bells, ready to face the flying scraps of paper and the burning brazier.

result.

What hit me was an overwhelming, pungent smell of snail rice noodles.

The smell made his eyes well up with tears.
