Chapter 883: Chapter 396: Emergency Reassembly_2

Claudie narrowed her beautiful eyes, analyzing word by word.

Julius instantly grasped the seriousness of the matter.

"If this is true, once the Iranians genuinely gain control of the new technology, it will inevitably trigger a new round of arms race, posing a great threat to our security."

"Therefore, the operation task the Chief just issued us is to investigate the authenticity of this intelligence at all costs!"

As soon as Claudie spoke, Julius immediately stood up from the sofa.

"What are we waiting for, we need to call Ah Ming over quickly!"

"Ah Ming..."

Hearing the name, a trace of hesitation flickered in Claudio’s eyes.

Even now, she couldn’t understand Ah Ming’s aim in causing a big stir on the train to attract Ghabari.

If it hadn’t been for him explaining the weapon fragments and the subordinate of the assumed seller, the blond, she would have treated this bloke as a traitor long ago.

The "Digital Oil and Gas Exploration" exhibition lasted for three days in total.

On Friday evening.

After Gu Ji finished work, he had just lain down on the bed for a short while when he received an announcement from Liu Weijun in the group, asking all members of the third squadron to immediately return to the team.

This sort of thing wasn’t happening for the first time either.

Even on a small weekend duty, he had to ensure he was on standby 24 hours a day to respond to emergencies.

He tossed on jeans and a t-shirt, then rushed to the team by taxi.

At the entrance to the unit, he coincidentally ran into Gao Bo who had just gotten off a taxi as well, dressed in casual clothes.

The two walked all the way into the courtyard, finding the office building almost fully lit.

"Isn’t that Li Ruilin’s car? Is Mr. Li here too? Could it be a big case?"

Gao Bo, keen-eyed, recognized Li Ruilin’s official car in an instant.

Gu Ji also felt the atmosphere tonight was especially solemn.

His first thought was the May 28 major case.

Because it was the only big news in the province recently, "It might be that another suspect, Yang Xiangguang, has surfaced."

"Are you saying, like October 16, we’ll assist the national security in capturing a wanted criminal?"

Upon hearing the news, Gao Bo’s eyebrows immediately furrowed with a fierce sense of hostility, rubbing his fists and saying, "Well, that sounds great, I’ve been anxious with no place to vent this frustration!"

On one hand, he wanted revenge for Zhang Wenjun.

On the other hand, ever since the Brazil operation, he had been training hard, yet waiting for an opportunity for actual combat.

Thus, he now eagerly needed an action to test his efforts.

"Very likely."

As they spoke, they walked into the building.

In the first-floor lobby, administrative personnel were bustling about, carrying various photocopied documents, now and again catching a glimpse of special forces from the second squadron.

"Gu Ji, Gao Bo, you two finally arrived, come follow me upstairs quickly."

Before they got a chance to change clothes in the office, Liu Weijun came over with Wu Kang, Zhou Yang, and Zhao Hua, pulling them straight into the meeting room.

"Mr. Liu, what’s so urgent?"

"You’ll know when you get there!"

Liu Weijun intentionally kept it cryptic.

Though from his serious expression, they could smell that this certainly wasn’t a small matter.

Pushing open the door to the big meeting room.

Half of the seats around the table were already occupied, besides the second squadron’s commander Gong Qingyong and his special force team members, and seated at the focal point were Li Ruilin and Lei Wanshan, several unfamiliar faces were also there.

"Is everyone here?"

"All members of the third squadron are present."

"Then let’s start, Mr. Qu."

Once Gu Ji and the others took their seats, only then did Li Ruilin turn to look at the woman with a bun next to him.

The woman seemed to be in her thirties, wearing grey professional attire, with exceptional demeanor.

"Colleagues from the Dragon and Tiger Assault Team, sorry for calling you back so late, I am the chief from the Provincial Government Foreign Affairs Office: Qu Ya, at 2 PM this afternoon, we received a call from the Foreign Ministry’s Middle East Affairs Division, a message was conveyed by our ambassador stationed at the Iranian embassy, an energy exploration expert from our province’s Xia Petrochemical Geophysical Exploration Institute was kidnapped and held hostage by unidentified criminals while working in Tehran!"

What!?

These words caused all the special forces present to undergo an abrupt change in expression.

Gu Ji, Gao Bo, and Wu Kang exchanged an even more alarmed look.

Because just before the end of the event duty in the afternoon, they had talked about the "Xia Petrochemical Geophysical Exploration Institute", and unexpectedly, something happened in a blink of an eye!

Moreover, Gu Ji was especially sensitive to the incident location: Tehran.

Why specifically Iran?

Could this kidnapping case be related to that deal?

While deeply pondering, the screen in the meeting room suddenly displayed a surveillance video.

Qu Ya, holding a laser pointer, directed it at the central figure in a suit, with a horse-faced middle-aged man, and said:

"This is the footage captured by surveillance during the kidnapping; the person in the image is Mr. Kang Wenkun, the accomplices kidnapped along with him include his assistant and translator."

"Six people, all donning black hoods, armed with M4 rifles, broke in with tactical advancement; this group is professionally trained..."

Gu Ji muttered softly while watching.

Somehow, the moment he saw black hoods now, he instinctively thought of the mercenary resembling Cohen newly discovered by Baron at the PM Company.

"Gu Ji is right, this group isn’t ordinary criminals; judging by their advance, kidnapping, retreat process, swift and orderly, they must have planned ahead. However, they chose not to cut the CCTV, indicating they deliberately left this footage to achieve some purpose."

Zhao Hua, indeed, with a background in intelligence technology, analyzed a pile of things succinctly.

"Goodness, sitting between these two monsters makes it quite uncomfortable!"

Zhou Yang quipped quietly.

Coincidentally heard by Qu Ya.

She cast a glance towards the direction of the third squadron, then continued explaining:

"As elites from our Wu Province police team, you must have discerned that the abilities and qualities of these criminals are far from ordinary. Currently, the Iranian police haven’t identified them, and even their current location, the status of hostages are unknown."

"Upon learning this, the ministry attached great importance to it; Mr. Kang holds core technology in our country’s petroleum exploration sector, contributing greatly to the development of the petrochemical domain, absolutely must not face any risk. Therefore, after a discussion in the meeting, it was decided that led by the Ministry of Public Security, in collaboration with the Foreign Ministry, to dispatch the Dragon and Tiger Assault Team from Ningzhou City Bureau to Iran for rescuing hostages!"

Li Ruilin took over the topic, spelling out word by word.

Indeed, another foreign affairs operation.

Gu Ji and others, upon hearing Qu Ya describe the case background, were actually mentally prepared.

Because currently, Iranian police had no progress, the only option to quickly rescue hostages was sending people from home.

The old saying goes, "Your own children are cherished by you."

The person held hostage is an expert from the Wu Province Research Institute, having the Dragon and Tiger Assault Team step in seems appropriate; however, last operation in Northern Myanmar on March 24, Gu Ji and the others cooperated with team one, this time it’s switched to team two.

"Ambassador Geng Changping stationed at the Iranian embassy has already figured out a way to secure enforcement rights and logistic support for you, arranging for Iranian intelligence agencies and the Security Department to provide intelligence for your operation."

Qu Ya introduced while pointing to several unfamiliar faces who had remained silent, "These two are logistic personnel I dispatched from the office to assist you with non-combat duties."

"This is comrade Zhuang Feng from the Ministry of Public Security, who previously served for three years as an overseas liaison police officer in Iran, familiar with local customs, capable of translating, also providing combat experience."

"Hello, comrades."

Zhuang Feng stood up, saluted everyone.

Gu Ji cast a glance at him.

Not tall, dark-skinned, crew-cut, thick brows and big eyes, somewhat like a black-faced version of Jet Li.

As a fellow police officer, yet he felt the aura emanating from the guy seemed somewhat familiar.

As he was contemplating, Gao Bo suddenly nudged him with his knee secretly, "Don’t you feel this person has some resemblance to Zhou Yu, who fought alongside us during the Brazil operation?"
