Chapter 884: Chapter 397: Unpublicized Operation

Gu Ji’s eyelid twitched.

No kidding.

Gao Bo really nailed it!

That familiar feeling he had about Zhuang Feng came from this as well.

In fact, whether it was Zhou Yu in Brazil, or Ling Yousong who died in the Riverfront District battle, or the Zhuang Feng standing in front of him now—

The three of them all shared some similar physical traits:

Dark skin and short stature.

The former was most likely caused by long-term training under the sun and wind; the latter was one of the typical traits of soldiers in the Xia Kingdom’s reconnaissance system.

Because recon soldiers usually carried out infiltration and reconnaissance missions, the more concealed they were, the better.

And a relatively short, small frame was easier to conceal in operations, and more flexible than a big build.

Of course, all of this was just Gu Ji’s personal speculation.

Whether Zhuang Feng was actually, like Zhou Yu, from the military intelligence system still needed to be verified.

But there was one thing he was sure of.

State Security and the General Staff had probably already "locked onto" this mysterious transaction in the Middle East.

After both sides finished a brief round of introductions and getting to know each other—

The all-along silent Lei Wanshan finally spoke: "This operation is codenamed ’Recycling Station’. The provincial public security department’s SWAT Headquarters Chief, Li Ruilin, will serve as overall commander, I will act as field commander, Team Two will take the main assault, Team Three will support."

"Yes, sir!"

Team Two captain Gong Qingyong and Liu Weijun answered in turn.

"Alright, there’s no time to lose on a rescue operation. The province has already arranged a government jet through the Civil Aviation Administration to fly you to Iran. Move out now!"

Li Ruilin raised his wrist and glanced at the time.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a collective scrape of chairs—everyone participating in the operation rose to their feet and filed out of the conference room.

Watching Zhuang Feng at the tail end of the assault team column,

Li Ruilin leaned back in his office chair, eyes fixed anxiously on the document on his phone screen.

"Damn, the scale of this operation is more than one level higher than the Northern Myanmar 3.24 action. They’re even rolling out a dedicated jet!"

As soon as they stepped outside, Gao Bo grabbed Gu Ji and the others and whispered in surprise.

Zhou Yang slapped him on the belly. "We had no choice in the Northern Myanmar operation. The conditions were too rough, and with local warlords meddling, even if the Myanmar side wanted to help us, they were powerless. This time is different. Our relations with the Iranians are pretty good, so cooperation will be a lot easier!"

"Makes sense. If the Iranian police can provide us with manpower support, that’d be fantastic!"

What Wu Kang said actually pointed straight at the only flaw of the 3.24 operation:

A lack of backup forces.

At the time, they had already completed the hostage rescue and the arrest of suspect Bai Maoliang, but the armed militia of the Bai Family Border Defense Camp were just too numerous; they could only be pinned down.

If a rapid reaction unit had been able to come in and handle the extraction at that point, maybe Wang Chaoyang wouldn’t have had to die.

"Well, that depends on what the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can pull off, hahaha!"

Suddenly, someone nearby chimed in.

Gu Ji turned his head and saw a man of about twenty-eight or twenty-nine, tall and broad-shouldered, in a gray quick-dry tracksuit, bearded, with a rough-looking exterior—it was Team Two’s captain, Gong Qingyong.

"Mr. Gong, we’ll be counting on you for this mission!"

Liu Weijun was an old hand in the Dragon and Tiger Assault Team and was very familiar with the people from the other two teams.

"Come on, Mr. Liu, with so many elite troops here, it’s us who should be saying we’ll be relying on you, isn’t it?"

Gong Qingyong rubbed his stubble and grinned, his gaze resting particularly on Gu Ji.

Everyone knew that in the Northern Myanmar 3.24 night operation, Gu Ji had made a name for himself in one battle and had even earned the codename "Night Owl".

Now, in the entire Dragon Tiger unit, no one dared look down on Team Three.

"Don’t worry, everyone, we’ll do everything we can in terms of coordination to create the best possible operational environment for you!"

The two staffers from the Foreign Affairs Office made their stance clear.

As for Zhuang Feng, the Iranian-based police officer, he hadn’t joined the conversation, though there was a faint change in his expression.

Gu Ji’s eyelids flickered almost imperceptibly, with the nagging feeling that this guy was holding something back.

Once out in the yard, he hurried over to the kennels to bring along Duci.

Dogs are classic crepuscular animals, most active at dawn and dusk. It was just after nightfall, and Duci was in the cage, listening in on the sounds in the yard.

Maybe it was the familiar scent on Gu Ji.

Before he even got close, Duci was already crouched at the cage bars, pushing his head out while barking "woof, woof, woof".

"Sit. Behave."

At Gu Ji’s command, Duci immediately sat down on the ground, tail wagging, tongue lolling, putting on a picture of an obedient dog.

After he had the duty officer open the cage,

The dog shot out in an instant, first running to the kennel entrance to take a look around, then doubling back, circling Gu Ji twice and sniffing at his shoes.

"Let’s go, I’ve got a big job for you this time."

Gu Ji grabbed a leash and a muzzle, fastened them on the dog, and patted its head.

In the Brazil operation, Duci’s performance had been outstanding. When the "SSS" organization opened up with machine guns in the convention center, Duci was the first to charge forward and tackle the gunner, creating excellent conditions for the follow-up assault.

On top of that, he had extracted a police dog training skill from Yasen.

Now, Gu Ji had fully mastered tactical joint operations with police dogs.

After he returned with Duci on the leash, everyone boarded the already-prepared coach, headed straight for the airport, and cleared all procedures at high speed to board the plane.

This "Recycling Station" operation should be on about the same level as the Pakistan earthquake mission Gu Ji had previously cleared.

Both were direct flights on a state-dispatched special plane.
