Chapter 69: The Return of an Old Friend

  After seeing Director Xie arrive with a large group of people, Sun Bao suddenly seemed to remember something. Taking advantage of the fact that Director Xie had not yet come over to exchange pleasantries, Sun Bao first whispered something in Yang Xiao's ear, and Yang Xiao nodded slightly in agreement. Sun Bao immediately found Wang Shaoran again and whispered a few sentences to him, after which Wang Shaoran widened his eyes and looked at Sun Bao with some astonishment.

  Sun Baozi smiled and pointed at Yang Xiao's back, saying: "It's okay, Old Yang has taken responsibility for the package. If anything happens, he'll be in charge." Wang Xiao Ran looked at Sun Baozi, then at Yang Xiao, hesitated for a moment, and walked over to Ai Guo, whispering something to her before they both got into a car and drove off somewhere.

  At this time, Xie Juzhang had already walked over, with a smile all over his face, and shook hands with Sun Dazhu, saying: "It's still the Ministry that has capable people, Director Sun, you've only been here for one day and you've cracked such a big case. If it weren't for you bringing these few capable people over, relying on our humble Hu Prefecture Public Security Bureau, we would have spit blood and still not be able to crack this big of a case. There's no need to say more, this is just the difference in strength being too great. There's something I'd like to ask for your instruction on, several of our city's main leaders want to invite you to sit down, this face you absolutely must give me."

  "Ha ha, all that's for later. First, let's get the hostages out safely and then we can talk about everything else."

  When it comes to hostages, Xie Juzhang suddenly regained his energy and leaned into Sun Dawei's ear, saying: "Sun Juzhang, can you give me another chance? You see, this case was cracked by the leaders of your department. Our local public security bureau can't just do nothing, what do you think? This time, assign the task of rescuing the hostages to our Xuanhu City Public Security Bureau, I guarantee we'll do a great job and not embarrass you or the other leaders."

  Sun Baozi understood Director Xie's intentions, thinking that the case was about to be solved and wanting to come over and take a share of the credit. Unfortunately, he had miscalculated this time. Sun Baozi chuckled and said to Director Xie: "It's not me saying it, but it would be best if you all took care of the ending. However, there is one thing I need to say beforehand. According to current intelligence, the General's Mansion has already been rigged with landmines and other explosive devices. If you want to go in, you'll at least need a level 3 explosives expert and professional explosives equipment. Alright, I've told you everything I know. Good luck."

  When Sun Baozi mentioned that there were landmines and other explosive devices buried inside, Director Xie's eyes widened. Later, he also heard that to enter, they would need a level-three explosives expert, as well as specialized explosives equipment. Director Xie was speechless, thinking that Hu City was just a small city with only 1.5 million people, it was already not easy for the public security bureau to scrape together their resources, let alone find an explosives expert of such high caliber.

  After listening to Sun's conditions for entering the General's mansion, Xie Juren finally closed his mouth with difficulty and said with a bitter smile: "Sun, why don't you come instead? There are only a few bomb disposal experts in all of Sichuan, where can I find one in such a hurry?"

  He paused for a moment, blinked his eyes and continued: "If not, I'll send someone to join you in this leader's action. Although you are all elites, after all, there are too few people. My people will add some support."

  Sun Pangzi smiled and said to Xie Juzhang, "Old Xie, you really don't need to worry about this. Not that I'm saying it, but in a little while, my reinforcements will arrive too. I've heard that the environment inside the General's Mansion is quite cramped, and it's really inconvenient for many people to go in."

  When Xie Juzhang heard Sun Wuzi mention reinforcements, he was stunned for a moment. With the case almost solved and only the rescue of the hostages left, what reinforcements could be coming at this time? Thinking of this, Xie Juzhang couldn't help but ask: "Sun Juzhang, at this point, do you still have reinforcements?"

  "Old Xie, don't think wildly either," said Sun Baozi. "This way, you accompany me here and wait for a bit, two hours, my people will definitely arrive. If my people don't arrive, it's not too late for us to cooperate again."

  Xie Juzhang was also curious, so he accompanied Sun Baozi with a smile and politely waited with him. He wanted to see what kind of reinforcements Sun Baozi would bring this time. Time passed minute by minute, and before long, more than an hour had passed. Just as Xie Juzhang was about to talk to Sun Baozi again and ask him to add a few more people, two cars suddenly drove over from afar.

  The car in front was the business vehicle driven by Ai Guo back, and behind it was a large passenger car. After the two cars stopped, Ai Guo rushed out of the business vehicle first. Then the big passenger car also opened its doors, and a string of young men wearing black suits came out one after another. The first one was Ximen Lian, a formal second-class investigator, followed by Xiong Wanyi and more than a dozen people.

  It wasn't until they got off the car that Director Xie realized who Sun Kuangzi's reinforcements were. However, these people were lying unconscious in the hospital at dusk, so how did they suddenly become energetic and lively?

  "Sun Juzhang, are these leaders the reinforcements you were talking about?" Xie Juzhang widened his eyes and looked at Sun Wenzhong, continuing to say: "At dusk, I specifically called Hospital Director Chen to ask, and he said that none of them had shown any signs of waking up yet. How did they wake up now? However, Sun Juzhang, even if these leaders do wake up, you can't be careless. These leaders have just woken up and still need a good rest. This situation is really not suitable for the leaders to take action."

  "Alright, Director Xie, you don't have to be so polite." Sun Baozi finally became somewhat impatient and said to Director Xie: "You bring your people and take charge of the safety and security from here to the entrance of the General's Mansion. And...". Seeing Director Xie's slightly embarrassed smile, Sun Baozi also didn't want to make things too awkward with the local public security bureau, so he added a sentence at the end: "And provide support from behind."

  After finishing the sentence, Sun Pengzi nodded to Director Xie and then ignored him. He turned around and walked towards Xi Mengqian and others. At this time, Old Mo had already run over, looked at Xi Mengqian and others who were safe and sound, and started chatting with them.

  After Sun Baozi walked over, he said a few words to the people in rooms 2 and 5 separately. Only then did they realize that at the same time Yang Jue sealed Liu Bu's escape route, some of them started waking up from their sleep one after another. About an hour later, almost everyone had woken up, having only slept for two days and two nights. At that time, all of them were still dazed and confused.

  After Wang Xiao Ran and Ai Guo left, they saw Ximen Lian wake up and immediately told him about the situation here. He explained that Sun Bao Zi wanted them to bring their own equipment and hurry to the General's Mansion to meet with Sun Bao Zi and others. Originally, these people had just woken up and still needed to do a detailed physical examination, but now they couldn't afford to worry about that anymore.

  After much difficulty, Ai Guo finally borrowed a large passenger car with the help of friends from the tourism bureau. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Xiao Ran found an on-duty doctor at a hospital to give Xi Men Qian and others a simple physical examination, confirming that their physical condition was not a major problem when the large passenger car contacted by Ai Guo arrived.

  On the way, these people ate something on the big bus, which was a bit replenished. After seeing Sun Baozi and listening to him explain the situation, Ximen Lian and several others turned their heads to see Liu Bu Zhen being taken care of by Yang Xiao in the front. Xiong Wanyi spat first, looking at Liu Bu Zhen and saying: "It's him, I said eating hot pot can still eat while sleeping, woke up and was already in the hospital. How did this turtle egg have such a good heart to give us a 40% discount, it turned out that he had planned for us early on."

  It turned out that the mastermind behind the true destruction of the two rooms was Xiong Wanyi. When they came to investigate the theft, Li Qiang had already discovered something was wrong with them in the hospital morgue arranged by Liu Butian. Later, Li Qiang told Liu Butian about the situation of these people including Ximen Lian, and Liu Butian began to pay attention to them.

  Liu Bu Zhen really opened a small Sichuan hot pot shop in Xuanhu City, originally intending to use it as cover. Who would have thought that the business in the shop was getting hotter and hotter every day? Xiong Wan Yi had heard that Liu Bu Zhen's hot pot shop was authentic and delicious, so he dragged everyone from the second room to come and try it out.

  Liu Butian pretended to deliver vegetables and charcoal in the past, secretly listening to their conversations. That's how he heard the three words "Min Diaojing" and also mentioned that one of the six rooms had a white-haired person named Wu Renyi. It was only then that Liu Butian started to feel truly frightened, as he had met Wu Renyi before and thinking back to that time made him shiver with fear.

  Liu Bu didn't want to provoke Wu Renyi now, and he didn't know what these people in front of him had found out, whether they had discovered his real name Liu Bu. After thinking about it, he decided to take a risk and knock them unconscious first. So, Liu Bu knocked out Ximen Lian and several others, hiding their souls and putting them in the morgue of Xuanhu City Hospital.

  If it weren't for Ximen Chai and his men blocking the way, Xiong Wuji would have gone to kill Liu Bei by now.

  "Alright, people can't run away now. Let's get down to business." Sun Ao blocked Xiong Zi and changed the subject: "I'm not saying this, but are all your equipment on you? I suspect there might be other things inside. Liu Bu didn't say anything, did he bring all the equipment just in case?"

  "Firearms and all that are here," said Ximen Chain, "That Liu guy didn't dare to move. The five-room guys are also here, the things they had in the Anping Public Security Bureau's armory were also sent back together."

  Sun Baozi furrowed his brow and said, "Isn't equipment always carried on one's person? How can it be stored away?"

  Ximen Lian also took a look at those few people in Wuzi's room and said to Sun Bao, "Their equipment is different."
