Chapter 701 A Net of Heaven and Earth
"Don't worry, the Yamaguchi-gumi has taken cover. The police won't be able to find them anytime soon." Han Ren's voice carried a hint of disdain. "Besides, retrieving the explosives and poison was a task personally assigned by the boss, and we must carry it out. As long as we eliminate Ye Haoxuan and successfully retrieve the explosives and poison, the attack plan three days later will definitely succeed. At that time, the entire Hong Kong Island will be thrown into chaos, and we will be able to complete the task assigned by the boss."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
The conversation inside the room gradually subsided, followed by light footsteps, as if someone had gone to the window and was observing the activity outside.
The two plainclothes officers immediately held their breath, quietly retreated a few steps, and hid in the corner of the corridor to avoid being discovered.
A moment later, one of the plainclothes officers quietly took out a miniature walkie-talkie hidden in his sleeve, lowered his voice, and reported to Ye Haoxuan:
"Inspector Yip, the target is in room 302 on the third floor of a residential building. Only Han Ren and Du Xie are in the room; no other accomplices have been found. I overheard them talking earlier. Tomorrow night, they will go to the warehouse in Kowloon Tong to meet with the Yamaguchi-gumi and collect the remaining explosives and poison. In addition, their primary task is still to find out your whereabouts and eliminate you when the opportunity arises."
Ye Haoxuan's heart sank, and his eyes blazed with fury—Hanren and Duxie dared to openly contact the Yamaguchi-gumi to collect explosives and poison, clearly showing they didn't take the police seriously.
At the same time, he was also secretly delighted. This was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity. As long as they went to the Kowloon Tong warehouse tomorrow night, they could wipe them out along with the Yamaguchi-gumi, seize the remaining explosives and poison, and completely thwart their attack plan.
"Understood, well done." Ye Haoxuan's voice remained calm and firm. "You all continue to hide at the corner of the stairwell and closely monitor the movements inside the rooms. Report immediately if they make any moves. Also, notify all plainclothes officers blocking the roads to remain vigilant and not reveal their identities to prevent them from abandoning their vehicles and escaping. Furthermore, notify the Flying Tigers to assemble immediately and prepare for a raid. Tomorrow night, we will lay a trap at the Kowloon Tong warehouse and capture them all!"
"Understood, Officer Ye!"
After hanging up the walkie-talkie, Ye Haoxuan stood in the convention center plaza, gazing at the distant sky. The setting sun cast its last rays upon him, but could not dispel the solemnity in his eyes. He knew that tomorrow night would be a crucial battle—Han Ren and Du Xie were both top assassins of the Shadow Organization, and the Yamaguchi-gumi members were all ruthless and cunning. Moreover, the Kowloon Pond warehouse had a complex terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack. This raid was destined to be dangerous.
But he showed no fear, nor did he back down. He clenched his fists, his eyes filled with determination—no matter how powerful the opponent, no matter how complex the terrain, he would do everything in his power to lead the police officers in laying a tight net to capture all the members of the Cold Blade, Poison Scorpion, and Yamaguchi-gumi, intercept the remaining explosives and poisons, completely thwart their attack plan, safeguard the peace of Hong Kong Island, and protect the lives and property of every citizen.
Meanwhile, inside room 302, Han Ren stood by the window, gazing at the residential area outside, a sinister glint in his eyes. He picked up the miniature walkie-talkie, lowered his voice, and said:
"Boss, we have arrived at our base and everything is safe. Also, Scorpion and I will go to the Kowloon Tong warehouse tomorrow night to meet with the Yamaguchi-gumi and collect the remaining explosives and poison. At the same time, we will find out Ye Haoxuan's whereabouts as soon as possible and take him out when the opportunity arises to ensure the successful execution of the attack plan three days from now."
From the other end of the walkie-talkie came the masked man's cold, hoarse voice:
"Very good. Remember, be extremely careful and discreet. Do not reveal your identities and do not give the police any opportunity to take advantage. Once Ye Haoxuan is eliminated, report immediately. I will arrange for other accomplices to cooperate with your operation. The attack plan three days from now must succeed; failure is not an option. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"
"Understood, Chief!"
After hanging up the miniature walkie-talkie, Han Ren turned around and looked at Poison Scorpion, his eyes filled with ruthlessness:
"Be extremely careful when collecting the explosives and poison tomorrow night. Although the police haven't found our whereabouts yet, they might have already located the Kowloon Tong warehouse. We must be fully prepared. If we encounter a police raid, we must immediately fight back. Even if it costs us everything, we must bring the explosives and poison back."
The scorpion nodded, his eyes filled with determination:
"Don't worry, Hanren, even if I die, I will bring back the explosives and poison. I will never delay the leader's plan, and I will never let Ye Haoxuan ruin our important mission!"
The lights in the room gradually dimmed, making the two figures appear particularly menacing.
Unbeknownst to them, plainclothes police officers had already quietly surrounded the entire residential building, and Ye Haoxuan had laid a trap, waiting for them to walk right into it the following night.
night.
Outside the residential building at No. 178 Binhai Branch Road, plainclothes police officers remained hidden in various corners, their eyes fixed on the window of room 302 on the third floor, like lurking cheetahs waiting for their prey to make a move. Inside the building, Han Ren and Du Xie had already made thorough preparations, waiting for the night to fall and gathering strength for the operation the following night.
Inside the police station's command center, the lights were on, but the atmosphere was so heavy it was suffocating.
Ye Haoxuan stood in front of a huge electronic screen, which displayed a map of the Kowloon Tong area. The officers from the technical department were gathered around the computer, their fingers rapidly typing on the keyboard. The surveillance footage on the screen kept switching, leaving no corner unchecked, as they searched for the location of the Yamaguchi-gumi's warehouse where explosives and poisons were hidden.
"Officer Ye, we have a lead!" A technician suddenly looked up, his voice urgent and excited, pointing to a scene on the screen. "We retrieved surveillance footage from all the abandoned warehouses in Kowloon Tong and discovered that an abandoned hardware warehouse on the edge of the Kowloon Tong Industrial Area has been frequently visited by unidentified individuals recently. Moreover, the build and clothing of these people closely match the characteristics of the Yamaguchi-gumi members described in the documents. In addition, we discovered that two unlicensed trucks entered the warehouse one after the other, suspected of transferring explosives and poisons."
Ye Haoxuan immediately stepped forward, his gaze fixed on the abandoned warehouse on the screen, a sharp glint in his eyes.
The warehouse on the screen has mottled walls, a tightly closed door, and is surrounded by weeds. It is located in a remote area, far from residential areas and main roads, and there are no surveillance cameras around. It is indeed an excellent hiding place, and it is no wonder that the Yamaguchi-gumi would choose to hide explosives and poisons here.
