Chapter 1701 - 855: Withdrawal (Part 2)

Chapter 1701: Chapter 855: Withdrawal (Part 2)

If anything goes wrong, he’d be in big trouble.

"Did I rent my house to terrorists then? Am I going to jail?"

The village chief became more anxious as he thought about it. Having been cautious his whole life, he finally became a village chief. If he inexplicably ends up in jail, it would be the end of the world for him.

"It’s okay!"

Lin Beichen smiled.

"Ignorance is no excuse, especially since you’ve already disclosed the situation proactively!"

As he spoke, he took out a photo of Poisonous Snake.

"Take a look, is it him!"

"Yes! That’s him!"

"What are you waiting for? Go and arrest him directly!"

At this crucial moment, the person in charge planned to make a final decision.

"Hold on!"

Lin Beichen quickly shouted to stop.

"If we go to arrest them now, what about the villagers? Don’t forget, these people are reckless desperados, everyone has a gun. If our actions cause significant losses for the villagers, or even loss of life, even if we successfully capture the criminals, we will have to bear the corresponding responsibility! Moreover, it’s just not worth it!"

As he spoke, he looked at the village chief.

"You quickly go back to discuss with the villagers. Regardless of property, everyone must evacuate completely. Remember, no matter what, you must take the villagers to safety first, at least ensure everyone’s safety, we will try our best to protect everyone’s property!"

After hearing this, the village chief suddenly felt the burden on his shoulders got heavier and immediately convened the village committee for a meeting.

"Folks, you all should be aware of the current situation, terrorists have indeed appeared in our village, and they plan to act. We must evacuate the villagers immediately, nothing else to say, let’s split up and act!"

The village committee got busy quickly, but persuading villagers to leave temporarily was not easy. They used a lot of effort to persuade some villagers.

The villagers started to leave the village in small groups.

"Oh! I’m really helpless, I’ve thought of many ways, but the villagers just don’t want to leave, which really worries me. I estimate that to make them all leave for temporary shelters, it would take at least three days to convince everyone!"

"Three days?"

Lin Beichen couldn’t wait that long.

"I can’t help it, you’ll just have to wait!"

Helpless, all personnel could only wait in place without exposing their identities.

Poisonous Snake looked at the time, with only five days left until the opening of the World Games. If the villagers evacuate at this pace now, they may not be able to control the village anymore.

"Act quickly tonight and control the remaining villagers no matter what."

"Okay!"

Poisonous Snake couldn’t wait any longer. You know, if he doesn’t cause a commotion before the World Games, he would be punished even if he returned to the "organization."

"Folks, I estimate Lin Beichen has already arrived. Haven’t you noticed that there are fewer and fewer people in the village recently? But these villagers, especially those old folks, just don’t want to leave. So these elderly people are our primary targets for control! Understand?"

However, the villagers didn’t realize the danger was quietly approaching.

They still chatted as usual under the big locust tree.

"Actually, it’s not as exaggerated as the village chief says, just those young people are timid and afraid. But it’s good they’re gone, the village is much quieter!"

"Exactly! The village is a place for us to retire, young people should go out and experience!"

Several old uncles and aunts were still chatting animatedly when the village chief came over.

"Oh! You still don’t want to leave, what should we do, it’s really dangerous."

The village chief advised with heartfelt words.

"We’re all old now, what can we do? Even if we’re killed, we’re not worth much, don’t worry about us, we’re fine!"

The village chief was at a loss.

"Listen, once everyone assembles by evening, we will start the action immediately. We must deliver a fatal blow at the first opportunity."

"Yes!"

Lin Beichen also noticed something was wrong, the enemy was too quiet.

After finishing the setup, he immediately found the village chief.

"Here’s the plan! It’s already impossible for the elderly to leave now, make sure they don’t go out tonight and avoid trouble! Tell everyone, we have a mission tonight!"

"Alright!"

The village chief immediately went to inform everyone.

Meanwhile, Poisonous Snake was also making final preparations.

"By nine o’clock tonight, basically nobody will come out in the village. Then we just need to control the main street and we’re fine."

Lin Beichen also issued orders.

"Start the action at six o’clock."

At six o’clock in the evening, the operation officially began.

Lin Beichen led the special operations team directly into the village.

Led by the village chief, they quietly surrounded the house where Poisonous Snake was located.

"Alright! We will wait quietly now. As soon as someone opens the door, we rush in!"

Lin Beichen had made all the preparations.

At this moment, as Poisonous Snake was waiting, he received news that made him feel extremely frustrated.

"No way! So quickly?"

Someone had already discovered Lin Beichen and his team’s siege.

Poisonous Snake was also very surprised.

"Everyone be ready, there might be a shootout this time. Remember, if they open the door and fight back, we must shoot them dead."

Lin Beichen began final adjustments and deployments.

Poisonous Snake stuck close to the window, cautiously peering out.

Outside the window, there was no crowd movement, only silence.

The dead silence sent a chill down the spine!

Clearly, the police who came to arrest them had made thorough arrangements.

Poisonous Snake had wandered for half his life, committed many crimes, and was no stranger to evil deeds.

Would he surrender easily, giving up without resistance?

"Brother Snake, everything is ready."

At this moment, a burly man walked up to Poisonous Snake. His head was shaved bald, with a face full of aggressive features, including a scar running from his eyebrow to his chin, making him appear fierce enough to scare a child to tears in an instant.

This was Poisonous Snake’s top henchman, named Scorpion.

Scorpion was originally from Myanmar, with a background unknown to Poisonous Snake.

Just because Poisonous Snake once saved the dying Scorpion in the border rainforest, Scorpion became his most loyal subordinate.

"When those people rush in, we use the tunnel."

Poisonous Snake lowered his voice, his face full of sinister and fierce determination.

It seemed that the armed men prepared to fight the police to the death were nothing more than insignificant ants to him, unable to stir any ripples in his heart.

He had rented this house for half a month, starting to dig the tunnel with his men from the moment they moved in.

He always acted cautiously, otherwise, he wouldn’t have reached his current standing.

Always keep a way out, that’s his primary rule.

"But that tunnel hasn’t been completed, and we don’t know the exact location, wouldn’t that...?"

"Do we have any other choice?"

Scorpion’s sentence was interrupted impatiently by Poisonous Snake.

"Got it."

Scorpion nodded in response.

"Listen inside, it’s not too late to turn back now. Confession leads to leniency, resistance leads to severity!"

"If you lay down your weapons now, our great motherland is willing to give you a chance to start over through reformative labor!"

"Think about your family, think about your children. If you die due to this senseless resistance, who will take care of your family and children?"

"You don’t want someone else to marry your wife, sleep in your bed, beat your kids, and spend your money, right?"

Downstairs, a loudspeaker blared warnings, eliciting a sinister smile from Poisonous Snake.

Scorpion also smiled, but his grin carried a touch of disdain unlike Poisonous Snake.

"Bang—bang bang!"

Soon, gunshots broke out inside the house like popcorn bursts, accompanied by a voice in awkward Mandarin with an unidentified accent:

"Wife, kids? I don’t have any. Your country is so great, why don’t you assign me one?"

"As soon as you assign me one, I’ll stop resisting!"

"Hahaha."
