Chapter 837: Chapter 373: Rejoining the Team (Part 2)

But the other party didn’t even look at him properly, just gave a mocking smile.

"Main is much smarter than you, you fool."

Indeed.

At the moment when the 7472 troops invaded the international counter-terrorism conference, Main knew that he was in deep trouble. When Carlos returned from Romania, he would definitely put all the blame on him.

Thus, Main sought PM Company to protect himself.

Unexpectedly, PM Company actually connected him with the acting speaker of the Senate.

No wonder when Viana was killed, the arms proposal could still quickly pass, PM had long bought off Patricio.

"Stop wasting words with him. You’ve deviated from the preset route by over half an hour. In 8 minutes, the federal police will catch up."

The bodyguard beside Patricio spoke coldly.

Another officer nodded, then took out his gun, and amidst Carlos’s desperate pleas, fired a shot to the head.

At the moment the blood splattered.

Main’s eyelid twitched.

He secretly glanced at Patricio, finding that the man hadn’t even blinked.

Recalling the "silencing" order he heard from the man, he couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine. A deputy minister of the Ministry of Defense, killing whenever he pleases—what else wouldn’t Patricio dare do?

Unsure whether boarding this ship was right or wrong.

"Let’s go, get in the car."

Patricio waved his hand dismissively.

Inside the car, Main bowed respectfully, just like an obedient dog, "Mr. Speaker, from today onwards, I, Main Cotton, will only follow your orders!"

"Mm."

Patricio mused slightly, took out a handkerchief, seemingly to wipe the blood splatter on his hand, "You ought to feel fortunate for your choice today. The power behind me is something you can never imagine."

"Are you referring to PM Company?"

Main daringly asked.

"Hehehe, PM Company is just one part."

At this point, a fervent light flickered in Patricio’s eyes, "You’re just starting to work for me, no need to know too much, just remember one thing."

"Please speak, Mr. Speaker."

The next second, Patricio clenched his blood-wiped right hand into a fist, "bang", and placed it on the left side of his chest.

"May human glory last forever!!"

...

After returning from Romania, as Shi Zhengmin urgently needed to attend a meeting, the trio led by Gu Ji quickly transferred from Jingzhou back to Ningzhou, arriving by 3 AM the next day.

He took a taxi alone back to his apartment.

When he crawled into bed, overwhelming fatigue and sleepiness instantly destroyed his consciousness.

Even on the third morning.

It took the alarms ringing twice to wake him up.

Patting his groggy head, Gu Ji still felt somewhat weary.

No choice, ever since the operation to Brazil started, until now, he hadn’t slept well for even one night; it was either fighting or continuously transferring.

At this moment, he seemed to still hear the roaring "rumble" of the airplane engine.

But work must go on.

After washing up, Gu Ji took the subway to the Dragon and Tiger Assault Team.

Upon entering the office, a familiar exclamation greeted him.

"Hey! Look who’s here!"

"Gu Ji? You finally came back!"

Zhou Yang spoke first, followed by Li Yanan rushing up.

"Mm, how was your training during this time?"

Gu Ji put down his briefcase and casually asked.

Evidently, Li Yanan seemed to have gained well over those days.

"Pretty good, the Dragon and Tiger Assault Team has many training methods already ahead of the domestic SWAT training front, really worth learning for me."

"Glad it helped. What about Gao Bo, is he not here yet?"

After days of not seeing him, Gu Ji indeed missed this guy, but upon turning around, he found Wu Kang, Zhao Hua, and others basically present, only Liu Weijun and Gao Bo were absent.

"Gao Bo is training with Monk."

"Training? Training at 7 in the morning, is he crazy?"

Gu Ji initially thought he heard wrong, even raised his wrist to check the time.

"Not crazy, since you left, this guy has been like injected with adrenaline, training like mad, whenever he catches Mr. Lei, he asks for pointers, not resting even on weekends, and during weekdays, Gao Bo is the first to arrive and last to leave, practices both mornings and nights!"

Wu Kang spoke solemnly while sipping water.

"Hey, the sun must be rising in the west..."

Gu Ji scratched his head, looking bewildered.

In his impression, college-era Gao Bo would rather slack off and shun pain; it was only after joining the police as SWAT that he trained alongside him, is this still the Gao Bo he knows!

"I reckon because of your task not involving him this time, Gao Bo thinks the gap between you is too wide, so he wants to catch up through training."

Li Yanan’s words gently stirred Gu Ji’s heart.

He couldn’t help recalling the words Gao Bo told him after hearing Zhang Wenjun and Liang Xiaojia’s story last year upon joining the police.

Indeed.

Since joining the police, he and Gao Bo have been like conjoined twins.

Whether for routine patrol or large tasks, the "chicken neck combination" hasn’t been separated, except for this special security task which Gao Bo didn’t accompany.

Gu Ji remembered what Li Yanan once said before.

From the Brazil mission, it’s clear the gap between regular SWAT teams and even elite ones compared to him.

Gao Bo isn’t afraid of not doing tasks with him, but doesn’t want when that day comes, to be like Yao Zhan, Li Yaoguang, dragging him down.

"I understand."

Gu Ji put down his backpack, originally planning to check out Gao Bo’s training.

But unexpectedly, halfway there, Zhang Wenjun’s office door suddenly opened, and a head peeked out, "Gu Ji, come along."

"Yes, Mr. Zhang."

Gu Ji scratched his head and had to temporarily give up.

Inside the office, Zhang Wenjun was still sipping tea, perusing a document seriously.

This posture...

Is there another mission to be dispatched?

Even livestock shouldn’t be used like this!

Previously, Gu Ji was just like Gao Bo, truly enjoyed missions, seeking honors, but now, continuous missions have left him increasingly fatigued, not to mention the game checkpoint refresh node is coming sooner.

He needs to conserve energy to continue breaking through!

"Mr. Zhang, you..."

"Take a seat."

Zhang Wenjun raised his head, signaling Gu Ji to sit, "Heard from the National Security side, the task was well-completed?"

"Alright, I guess."

Gu Ji felt increasingly uncertain inside, fearing next second Zhang Wenjun would toss a new mission file.

"Mm, how was cooperating with National Security?"

"Fine."

"What’s your view on their work methods?"

"Involves a lot of confidential information, and truthfully not safer than our tasks." Feeling bewildered by Zhang Wenjun’s seemingly random questions, Gu Ji straightforwardly said, "Mr. Zhang, what do you want me to...?"

"The National Security formally sent a message wanting to transfer you, Li Ruilin, the team captain has received the document. Now I’m representing the organization seeking your personal thoughts."

Zhang Wenjun spoke, "bang", placing down a glass thermal mug.

"No way, I personally disagree with releasing him."

Li Ruilin picked up the cup, took a sip, and refused directly.

In the office of the provincial SWAT team captain, Li Ruilin, the sofa on the side had a middle-aged man with slicked-back hair and silver-framed glasses sitting, who was the deputy director agent of National Security Bureau Fifteen, Liao Yunqing.

"Hehehe, Mr. Li, you and I are old acquaintances. I understand you won’t let go of such a treasure as Gu Ji, but transferring him to National Security will surely maximize his potential and value. This guy, Gu Ji, reacts fast, has agile logical thinking, strong reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance awareness, perfectly suited for action duties!"

"You quit that nonsense!"

Li Ruilin grumpily retorted, heavily placing down his cup, "What, National Security can unleash his talent, while I, the SWAT team, bury it? Such absurd words! I, Li Ruilin, say no release, means no release!"
