Chapter 384: Chapter 271: All Captured
Just past five o’clock, most enterprises and institutions had not yet finished work, and outside it was already pitch black.
The snow kept falling heavier, twirling in the icy wind, and every now and then cars passed by on the road, flattening the snow, leaving the surface full of ruts and extrely muddy. The riverbank on the west side of the road and the farmland on the east were both a vast expanse of white.
Half an hour ago, Han Yu and Wang Xiaoshan quietly slipped into the ditch behind the drainage station, tasked with cutting off the retreat of four targets.
They were too close, initially worried they would be exposed.
After over half an hour of stakeout, they realized that their previous worries were unnecessary.
Their heads and bodies were covered in snow; even their eyelashes had snow on them. There was no way to notice there were people in the ditch unless one walked right up to it.
Wearing gloves and canvas cotton shoes, their hands and feet weren’t very cold.
However, the snowflakes that drifted into their necks lted into water due to body temperature, slowly seeping into their sweaters.
At first, it felt negligible, rather like sweating, just stickily uncomfortable.
As more and more lted snow seeped in, coupled with the bursts of icy winds swooping in, it beca extrely cold, and it was a cold that seeped from the inside out.
The baton could not be effectively used, and guns could not be used unless absolutely necessary—the weapons used today were the most ancient of cold weapons—wooden sticks!
Han Yu was about to look back at the weapons now buried under the snow, when suddenly, car lights appeared to the south.
Following that, a car honked as it drove past.
"Captain Yu..."
"Keep quiet."
Han Yu took several deep breaths, quietly clutching the wooden stick, slowly straightened up, and peered towards the bridge and the drainage station beneath it.
It was too dark to see clearly.
You could only see a car stopped at the head of the bridge, unable to discern the make and model.
The two were contemplating whether it was Gu Datou arriving when the car honked four tis. Then, several figures erged from the drainage station, stumbling along the path towards the bridgehead.
They had been watching closely for nearly half a month, waiting for this mont.
Wang Xiaoshan excitedly said, "Two long, two short, it’s Gu Datou!"
"Don’t move, wait a bit longer."
Just as Han Yu finished talking, the car drove onto the bridge, heading straight north.
Simultaneously, the deputy squad leader of the Ard Police Linghai Company, Kang Kui, fully wrapped and wearing a helt and gloves, drove towards the bridge in a tricycle he had just learned to drive that afternoon.
A pickaxe handle was hidden where his thigh t the basket, ready to be used against enemies at any mont.
The basket had been urgently modified in the afternoon, having a backrest but no seat.
Yu Zhen Tian, the best-handled investigator of the major cri squad, was curled up inside the basket, and to ensure absolute certainty, his body was also pressed by a sack filled with bedding.
The space was too cramped and the tricycle bumpy; Yu Zhen Tian felt even more uncomfortable than those brothers lying in ambush outside, hoping to reach the destination soon, and hoping that the daring security personnel of the Four Factory Public Security Departnt would appear quickly.
It was his first ti on the road, and he had a person with him.
Kang Kui drove very cautiously, skirting a puddle while observing the bridgehead in front of him, nonchalantly reminding, "Xiao Yu, we’re almost there."
Yu Zhen Tian regained his composure, quickly responded, "Received."
Compared to Han Yu and Kang Kui, Xu Mingyuan, Ma Jintao, Luo Wenjiang, and others were even closer to the target!
Paired into groups of two, they divided into three groups.
One group was lying in ambush in the graveyard at bridge north, using the tombstones as cover, ready to rush onto the highway anyti to prevent the target from escaping north should the situation turn south.
One group was lying in ambush in the withered grass at the west side of the bridge head, choosing to be on the west rather than the east side because there was a gentle slope on the west that allowed them to rush up to the bridgehead in one go.
One group was lying in ambush in a ditch on the south-east side of the bridge, which was not an irrigation ditch but a trench left over from when the road was previously widened.
Huang Yueping had hidden inside the drainage station for a day and a night. Although protected from the wind and snow, it was just as cold inside, and he could only think about finishing the task quickly and leaving. He had no idea that a trap had been laid all around.
"Captain Huang, they’re coming!"
"I see it, that should be him."
"He’s driving really slow, Captain Huang, could there be an ambush?"
Huang Yueping looked around, clutching his stick, said, "With such heavy snow, the ground is all white; you could see a rabbit run by, what ambush could there be."
Zhu Liangui peeked out and laughed, "It’s probably because the road is slippery from the snow, so he doesn’t dare to drive too fast."
"Four against one, rush him, hit Shi with a few muffled blows and leave, no one would know, they wouldn’t even know where to start investigating..."
Huang Yueping thought about it more and beca excited, but rembering that this was the ti to stay calm, he pulled down his mask and turned back to remind, "Pack your bags properly, don’t leave anything behind."
"I know, I’m carrying it."
"Jianmin, did you check inside the drainage station?"
"Cleaned it up at noon, checked it again just now."
"Did you sweep the ground?"
"Swept it, there won’t be any footprints."
They were dealing with Shi Shengyong, no ordinary person.
He ca back extrely cautiously, switched vehicles several tis on the way, and after entering the drainage station, they all wore gloves, even going to the bathroom in the river to leave no fingerprints or excrents, giving Shi no traces to follow.
Huang Yueping checked his brothers’ luggage again, confird they were all shouldering their bags, turned and looked towards the approaching tricycle, and smiled, "Was worried about leaving footprints before, but this snow is good, covering everything, nothing can be seen."
"Now all that’s left are Gu Datou and those few cowardly bastards."
"Gu Datou has nothing to worry about; he’s now in the sa boat as us. Those braggart thugs are also not a concern; their asses aren’t clean anyway. Even if they dare to blab and even if it reaches Shi’s ears, Shi still needs to produce evidence."
"Captain Huang, they’re coming."
"The road is slippery, watch your step."
"Got it."
"Only hit their arms and legs, don’t cause any fatalities."
"Understood."
"Don’t rush, let him get closer."
Huang Yueping stared intently at the approaching tricycle, recalling how Shi Shengyong had publicly slapped him in front of so many people, his eyes full of rage.
In the blink of an eye, the tricycle reached the bridgehead.
"Go!"
Huang Yueping couldn’t and didn’t want to wait any longer, he rushed onto the road with a wooden stick in hand.
Just as he was about to give Shi Shengyong "a taste of his own dicine
