Rolaff slowly drove his convoy toward Ailock, while his secretary kept receiving phone calls along the way.
Just as the secretary hung up, the phone rang again from Commander Five.
"Tell the chief, everyone on my side is already in position."
The secretary simply replied and hung up the phone.
As Commander Five hung up, a personal ssage ca to Rolaff’s phone, with no na marked, saying: Boldly co, everything is arranged.
Rolaff’s residence wasn’t far from Ailock’s, but it took him half an hour to get there.
Upon reaching the gate of Ailock’s residence, they were stopped.
The secretary hurriedly got out of the car and presented a pass.
The man looked at it and said sternly, "You and the chief may enter; others must wait outside."
The secretary impatiently replied, "Do you know who’s in the car? Let us pass quickly."
The man sternly retorted, "No, this is the rule; we must ensure One’s safety."
Just as the secretary was about to explode, Rolaff stepped out of the car and gestured for the secretary to stop talking.
The gatekeeper saw Rolaff exit the car and stood upright, saluting him.
Rolaff ignored him and walked straight ahead, the secretary followed, while the others remained outside.
Ailock’s residence was imnse; it took a long ti just to walk through.
Rolaff headed directly toward the main house, where a red carpet was laid, flanked by flowers.
Ailock was already waiting downstairs for him.
"You’ve finally arrived; I’ve been waiting for you for a while," Ailock eagerly shook Rolaff’s hand.
Rolaff energetically shook Ailock’s hand back, "Sorry, I was delayed by traffic."
Ailock’s face remained unchanged as he invited Rolaff in.
Rolaff claiming traffic jam was rely a jest; they used private lanes escorted by military, making a jam impossible.
They sat as host and guest then exchanged pleasantries, reminiscing about their wonderful tis working together, and looking forward to a bright future.
"How’s your illness? Any better?" Ailock inquired with concern.
"Almost better; my health’s failing, we’ll have to rely on the young ones in the future," Rolaff remarked, glancing at Ailock’s secretary behind him.
"Indeed, we’re both becoming obsolete," Ailock agreed.
"By the way, how’s that assassin from earlier?" Rolaff curiously asked.
"Ever since sent from you, he’s dead," Ailock sighed, shaking his head.
Rolaff nodded, knowing Ailock lied, intending to use the assassin against him.
One’s secretary had inford him, shocking Rolaff upon hearing, thinking the secretary deceived him, but eventual investigation revealed the assassin wasn’t dead.
While the two conversed inside, actions comnced outside.
"Brother Yu, we’re all in position; once Rolaff exits, we’ll capture him," Wu Jing reported via radio.
"Once successful, leave imdiately; disregard everything else," Xiang Yu instructed.
"Rest assured, Brother Yu, all preparations are thorough," Wu Jing replied confidently.
After Wu Jing spoke, silence pervaded the radio; no one spoke.
This task posed a challenge; abducting Little Ba’s second-in-command on foreign territory; if leaked, deed insanity.
"Brother Yu, there’s an issue," Wu Jing abruptly said.
"Damn it, Wu Jing, can’t you speak with a hint of forewarning? Stop startling everyone," Tie Zhuzi retorted, startled.
Wu Jing embarrassedly replied, "Brother Yu, sothing’s amiss outside."
"What’s happening?" Xiang Yu urgently asked.
He understood Wu Jing; only a major event would cause such distress.
"Looks like a troop is silently closing in," Wu Jing inford.
"A troop?" Wu Jing squinted, "Is it Three’s army?"
"No, as I saw them eliminating Three’s guards," Wu Jing frowned.
"How many are there?" Xiang Yu demanded.
Wu Jing stood atop a high-rise, scanning surroundings with binoculars.
Just a gaze was enough to startle him; troops headed toward them at each intersection, even concealed neutral weaponry present.
"Brother Yu," Wu Jing cried.
"Wu Jing, stop scaring people," Tie Zhuzi grumbled into his headset.
Wu Jing knew he lost composure, then coughed, "Brother Yu, it’s crowded; the entire presidential mansion’s enclosed, even heavy weapons visible."
Xiang Yu was shocked upon hearing; convinced these weren’t Ailock’s n, hence, they were Rolaff’s.
"How’s Three’s army?" Xiang Yu asked.
"They’re silently being eliminated; seem unaware of unfolding events," Wu Jing carefully observed from above.
"Warn them from above and all brothers stay concealed; no one acts without my command," Xiang Yu sternly commanded.
Wu Jing took a rocket launcher and shot at the secretly advancing troops.
After shooting, he promptly relocated to another hiding spot.
The rocket explosion shattered the city’s calm, with Three’s army around the presidential mansion instantly on high alert, heading toward the blast.
anwhile, the secretly advancing Five’s army was exposed.
Commander Five was tensely awaiting in his office; battles didn’t require his direct presence.
A hurried call interrupted his thoughts, and he quickly answered.
"What’s the status?" Commander Five impatiently asked.
"Chief, we’re exposed; they’ve discovered us," a frantic voice replied.
"Since exposed, forcefully break in," Commander Five yelled.
"Chief, but that’s the presidential mansion, we..."
"Enough; obey my order, comnce the attack now," Commander Five replied, almost madly.
Once set on an action, no turning back; decided, no rcy nor hesitation.
Victory is fleeting; if they break in and aid Rolaff, he’d be a hero.
If they fail, it’s an abyss for him; developnts reached this extent making a life-and-death gamble unavoidable...
