"Hey, it's okay."
At this moment, Sandman, sitting on the other side, also chuckled to defuse the tension, saying, "It's not like it delayed anything, right?"
At these words, Yuri couldn't help but glare at Soap with some irritation. It was fortunate that they had ample time before this operation; otherwise, Soap's carelessness in sending the wrong coordinates could have caused a significant delay in their support for the commander.
Then Sandman raised his hand and pointed to the back of the car, reminding them, "I've prepared all the equipment for you and Roach, it's all in the back."
"Yes, yes!"
Seeing this, Soap quickly changed the subject, pushing Yuri with his hand and saying, "If there's nothing else, let's hurry up and change our gear. The commander's action signal might come at any time!"
Upon hearing Soap's words, Yuri's expression immediately became serious. He turned his head to look across the Moei River to the north of Burma, where the KK park lay!
And Roach happened to have parked the car and walked over. After hearing their conversation, he asked, "Has the location where the commander was detained been confirmed?"
"Yeah."
At this moment, on the passenger side of the off-road vehicle, Deputy Captain Qian nodded and said to Roach and Yuri, "According to the current situation, the place where they detained the commander is here for the time being."
Saying that, Deputy Captain Qian handed over a tablet to the two, which contained specific coordinates of the detention facility for Commander Lu Ting and some information about the "KK" cyber fraud park.
After receiving the tablet handed over by Deputy Captain Qian, Roach and Yuri began to carefully examine all the intelligence information about the "KK" cyber fraud park.
Meanwhile, Chen Yaoguang, standing by the car window, saw that all the members of the 141 Special Task Force had gathered, so he prepared to turn around and leave to give them space to discuss their action plan independently.
Immediately, Chen Yaoguang politely greeted Deputy Captain Qian, "Deputy Captain Qian, I'll go back to the car first. I won't disturb you."
"If you need to know anything else or need our help, feel free to call me."
Now their cooperation with the Chinese International Criminal Police on the one hand and the team under Commander Lu Ting on the other hand was a collaborative relationship, and these were things that should be done within the scope of cooperation.
Upon hearing Chen Yaoguang's words, Deputy Captain Qian nodded understandingly and said, "OK, no problem. If there's anything else, I'll find you."
Nodding slightly, Chen Yaoguang turned to leave.
But at this moment, Roach, who had quickly finished reviewing the information, looked up and saw Chen Yaoguang about to leave. He instantly remembered that there was a rather tricky matter that needed to be addressed in his car.
"Officer Chen!"
Following that, Roach immediately called out to stop Chen Yaoguang. At the same time, he hurriedly bypassed the front of the car and approached Chen Yaoguang.
Seeing Roach, who obviously had something to discuss, Chen Yaoguang graciously stopped, watching him jog up to her.
And Roach didn't hesitate, he directly raised the matter without beating around the bush, "There's something we might need your help with."
At this time, what they asked for help must be related to this mission. Therefore, Chen Yaoguang didn't hesitate after hearing this and asked with a slight frown, "What is it?"
"Follow me."
Roach didn't immediately answer Chen Yaoguang's question. Instead, after saying that, he turned and walked towards his car. A clever person like her would quickly understand what he was about to say after seeing the situation inside the car.
Seeing this, Chen Yaoguang followed.
"What's going on?"
Soap, sitting in the car, leaned out half of his body and asked Yuri next to him with curiosity as he watched Roach and Chen Yaoguang walk away, "How come I didn't know we had something to ask her for help with?"
Upon hearing this, Yuri's eyes also showed confusion. After glancing over there, he said, "What else could it be? The girl the commander bought for a million dollars from the auction, we didn't have time to find a place to settle her, so we brought her along."
As soon as he heard Yuri's words, Soap's eyes widened immediately. Then, without hesitation, he jumped out of the car. He wanted to see what kind of girl the commander had bought for a million dollars.
Although they had learned from Roach and Yuri's communication that the commander had generously bought all the auction items, and among them, there was even a living person!
But they had never had the chance to see what this albino girl looked like, not even a photo.
Of course, Soap's immediate reaction at this moment was entirely due to his curiosity about this albino girl and his sympathy for her tragic background.
Not only Soap but also Deputy Captain Qian, Nikolai, and Sandman in the car all watched the situation behind through the rearview mirror.
Obviously, they were all eager to see this albino girl who had been brought to the underground auction by the commander.
At this moment, Chen Yaoguang had followed Roach's footsteps and arrived at the rear door of their off-road vehicle.
Having no idea about the situation inside the car, when she saw Roach opening the rear door and saw the albino girl Alya sitting curled up in the back seat, Chen Yaoguang, who was always calm, couldn't help but show a moment of stunned expression on her face.
"What's going on?"
She had no idea what was happening right now.
Seeing this, Roach immediately explained, "This is one of the 'items' our commander bought at the first underground auction of Cangsheng Casino."
Upon hearing this explanation, Chen Yaoguang immediately understood. This clearly albino girl was also one of the 'items' auctioned at the first underground auction of Cangsheng Casino.
Although she knew that Lu Ting had rushed to participate in the first underground auction of Cangsheng Casino to accelerate the progress of the plan and attract the scamming and kidnapping perpetrators to act against him faster, Chen Yaoguang didn't have time to learn more specific details.
Moreover, her focus had always been on how Lu Ting was successfully set up by those scamming and kidnapping perpetrators, rather than paying much attention to what Lu Ting bought at the auction.
Then, Chen Yaoguang's gaze returned to the albino girl in the car.
In Asian countries, human trafficking incidents were widespread. With the appearance of this albino girl, she could easily fetch a high price at the underground auction for those perverts with abnormal tastes.
Thinking of this, a trace of sympathy appeared in Chen Yaoguang's eyes. This albino girl seemed to be only eleven or twelve years old, and yet she was brought here by those human traffickers.
No one knew what she had experienced, but Chen Yaoguang was very clear in her heart that it must have been a difficult time for her.
But what really surprised Chen Yaoguang at this moment was that someone like Lu Ting, a mercenary driven by profit, would actually rescue a child during an important mission just because he couldn't bear to see it happen!
Why was Chen Yaoguang so sure that Lu Ting had rescued this albino girl at this moment, rather than...
Because, although Lu Ting always had the image of being ruthless, Chen Yaoguang had never felt the aura exclusive to someone who was absolutely evil and had no lower limit on their actions from him!
It was difficult to judge someone like Lu Ting because he couldn't be considered a good person, but he definitely wasn't inherently evil.
Not only Lu Ting but also the mercenaries under his command gave Chen Yaoguang the same feeling!
People like them simply couldn't be judged as good or bad. At this moment, Chen Yaoguang felt that there was a term that suited them quite well, which was, neither good nor evil!
Just like the current situation, they were mercenaries who operated in the gray area for money, but they also had their principles and bottom lines as mercenaries.
Moreover, they would even do good deeds when they were in a good mood!
"Oh my god."
At this moment, Soap, who had run down from the front of the car, also saw Alya in Roach's car. His reaction was similar to Chen Yaoguang's, first stunned, then a thought came to his mind: these scamming and kidnapping perpetrators were truly beasts!
They could lay their hands on such a young child?!
And even auction her off as a commodity.
It was simply inhumane!
At this moment, Alya, who was curled up in the car seat, looked at the few people standing in front of the car, her expression clearly confused, not knowing what was going on.
And the commander?!
Was the commander he mentioned referring to the young man he bought at the auction?
Although Alya was still very young and didn't understand many things, she was smart enough. Just by hearing the term 'commander', it sounded like someone important!
After realizing this, Chen Yaoguang turned to look at Roach, frowned, and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"It's simple."
Seeing that the other party had spoken up to ask, Roach quickly answered, "After our commander issues the action order, I need you to look after her."
Despite the fact that this little girl looks obedient now, who knows if she harbors any thoughts of escape in her heart. After all, she has been suppressed in such a place for so long.
"Okay."
After hearing Roach's simple request, Chen Yaoguang thought for a second or two and nodded in agreement.
After Lu Ting issued the action signal, all members of the 141 Special Task Force would act accordingly. It was indeed not very safe to leave this little girl alone in the car.
Anyway, Chen Yaoguang was waiting outside, and looking after this little girl was just a matter of convenience.
Then, Chen Yaoguang spoke again, asking, "What's her name?"
"Alya."
After Chen Yaoguang agreed, Roach turned to Alya in the car and explained to her, "Alya, don't worry. This beautiful lady here is a policewoman. You'll stay with her later."
At this moment, Alya listened to their conversation and became completely bewildered. However, upon receiving Roach's instructions, who had shown no malice towards her throughout the journey, she immediately nodded obediently, indicating that she understood.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Chen Yaoguang couldn't help but take a couple of steps forward, squat down, and meet Alya's eyes before inviting, "Alya, are you hungry? I have some milk and bread in my car. Shall I bring them for you to eat?"
Upon hearing this, feeling the kindness emanating from Chen Yaoguang, Alya hesitated for a few seconds before nodding and saying, "Okay, thank you."
"Let's go, we'll go over there first."
Seeing the good interaction between Chen Yaoguang and Alya, Roach, feeling relieved, patted Soap's shoulder next to him, signaling him to come back to the team with him.
As the two turned back to the team, Yuri had already swiftly changed into camouflage combat uniforms. Seeing this, Roach also quickly prepared all his equipment and then sat in the off-road vehicle.
With this, the 141 Special Task Force responsible for supporting Lu Ting in the outside world was now fully assembled.
"How's it going, Team Price?"
As soon as he sat back in the car, Roach immediately asked, "What's the next step in the operation plan?"
At this point, Team Price already had a set action plan in mind, so he immediately turned around and unfolded the map in his hand.
Only to see that the area circled in red with a red pen was the "KK" cyber fraud park where Lu Ting's tracking and positioning device was currently located.
Following that, Team Price began.
"First of all, no matter when the commander sends us the action signal, I think we should first cross this river and get close to the perimeter of the KK cyber fraud park for surveillance."
There's no need to elaborate further on the reasons. Only when they were closer could they better and more quickly provide firepower support to Commander Lu Ting when he issued the action signal.
However, according to the current intelligence information and the situation on the satellite map, within a ten-kilometer radius of the "KK" cyber fraud park, except for rice fields, it was quite desolate.
Furthermore, moving closer to the perimeter of the "KK" cyber fraud park, it was all barren land, meaning there was no shelter to hide their movements effectively.
However, for the members of the 141 Special Task Force, this was not a particularly big problem.
After observing the map for a few seconds, Sandman was the first to draw a conclusion. As he drew a route on the map with a pen, he said, "We can first cross the river and then advance one kilometer forward. After that, we can stop at a point 800 meters away from the rear position of the park, which is the boundary between the field and the barren land."
Seeing the action route drawn by Sandman, the others unanimously agreed that there was no problem because the terrain around the "KK" cyber fraud park was higher, and this route formed a slope similar to a reverse slope.
Armed personnel in the outposts outside the "KK" cyber fraud park would find it difficult to observe their movements unless the members of the 141 Special Task Force approached the positions close to the walls and wire fences, which would increase the likelihood of being discovered.
Moreover, Sandman's proposal was based on the assumption that they would act during the day. If they waited after crossing the river and received the commander's action signal until night fell, the likelihood of being discovered by these outposts would be even lower!
"Well," Nikolai nodded and followed up, saying, "Moreover, the route proposed by Sandman is relatively close to the rear gate of the park."
"If we need to go in to support the commander, the time needed for the journey will naturally be shorter."
Although at this time, the tracking and positioning device on Lu Ting's body showed a location in the center of this cyber fraud park.
However, according to the actual situation shown on the satellite map, the route from the rear gate was not as winding as the one from the main front gate.
The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Choosing the route through the rear gate will correspondingly reduce a significant amount of time spent on the journey.
At this point, Yuri, who had been holding a tablet and watching, flipped the screen over and raised the most crucial point, saying, "I think the most important thing is how we'll break through these guard posts, one every hundred meters."
The area of this "KK" cyber fraud park is not small, and the total length of the outer walls is astonishingly several kilometers. Guard posts manned by armed personnel are set up every hundred meters, which means that even in the area of the rear gate of the park, there are about twenty or thirty guard posts!
Even if they estimate that there is at least one armed person in each guard post, there are still twenty or thirty fully armed personnel in total.
Although the members of the 141 Special Task Force are not afraid of these armed personnel, if a fight really breaks out, it won't be easy to take out all twenty or thirty armed personnel at once.
Furthermore, besides the armed personnel in these guard posts, there are also other armed personnel inside the park. Once there's a commotion, their support won't be slow either!
However, after hearing Yuri's words, Soap couldn't help but laugh, and at the same time, he put his arm around Yuri's neck and said, "I say, buddy, did you forget about our commander?!"
"I think for now, we don't need to worry about these guard posts. Because once the commander gives the action signal, the park will definitely be in chaos."
"Whether the commander finds the target and needs to break out or he discovers that the target isn't here and needs to leave, both events are likely to cause a significant commotion."
"And by then, the attention of these fraud and kidnapping thugs will probably be completely attracted by the commotion caused by our commander!"
Their commander, currently playing the role of "Zhao Ting," is a super-rich second generation of China. For these fraud and kidnapping thugs, he's just like Wang Tianyu, an ATM machine.
Whether the "ATM machine" wants to run away by himself or take another "ATM machine" with him, neither scenario is acceptable to these fraud and kidnapping thugs!
So, Soap believes that when the action really starts, the vigilance of the guards at the main gate may not be as strict as it is now.
They might even dispatch more personnel into the park to capture the escaping "ATM machine" as soon as possible!
And these fraud and kidnapping thugs won't react so quickly. They'll only think that the commander, playing as "Zhao Ting," wants to escape, without considering other possibilities.
After hearing Soap's words, the other members of the 141 Special Task Force in the car all showed a sudden realization. Indeed, how could they forget about their commander?!
From the beginning, the commander's one of the purposes for planning like this was to take these fraud and kidnapping thugs by surprise while they were still unprepared, and then resolve the situation quickly!
Immediately, Team Price directly finalized, "Then the original plan remains unchanged. We'll wait for the commander's signal after ambushing near the perimeter of the park's walls, and adapt other operational plans accordingly!"
In a real battlefield, every minute and every second is constantly changing, and anything unexpected could happen. This severely tests the soldiers' ability to adapt to changes on the spot.
However, in terms of this aspect of ability, the members of the 141 Special Task Force, who have experienced numerous battles, have always been full of confidence in themselves.
However, being full of confidence does not mean being reckless. They will remain cautious and prudent on the battlefield, not missing a single detail!
After roughly formulating a preliminary action plan, Roach placed his hands behind his head, looked through the car window at the "KK" cyber fraud park on the other side of the river, and sighed, "I wonder how things are going on the commander's side now?!"
At this remark, the other members of the 141 Special Task Force in the car couldn't help but involuntarily look in the direction of the park on the other side of the river.
To be honest, they still had some worries in their hearts, after all, those fraud and kidnapping thugs had quite a few brutal methods!
And these fraud and kidnapping thugs won't show any mercy just because you're a rich second generation of China. Wang Tianyu's case before is the best example.
And in fact, at this moment, Lu Ting's situation is indeed as the members of the 141 Special Task Force thought, still undergoing considerable torment.
After spending a full hour in the pool, which was like a biochemical tank, Lu Ting, who pretended to be extremely weak, let Ah Cai, one of the henchmen, lift him out.
Then, Ah Cai took out a pair of handcuffs and ankle cuffs from the side, respectively fastened them to Lu Ting's hands and feet, and led him out of the room where the pool was located.
Seeing this, Lu Ting understood that he was being taken to the place where he would be detained!
Sure enough, after following Ah Cai out of this water dungeon room, and walking along this corridor with bloodstains for half a minute, they stood at the door of another room.
Only to see that after Ah Cai unlocked the door lock with another key, he dragged Lu Ting into this new room while holding his clothes from behind.
The smell in this room was no better than the previous water dungeon room, similarly carrying a faint stench of decay, and inside this room were iron cages, one after another!
These were the most common type of iron cages, simply welded from thick steel bars. The size of the space inside the cage was similar to that of a cage for large dogs.
Most of these dozen or so iron cages were empty. Inside the cages piled up in the corner were people who had been tortured by these fraud and kidnapping thugs to the point where they no longer looked human!
