"Boss, hold on a moment!"
After saying this to the small-time leader on the other end of the phone, the enforcer Ah Cai, who was thinking about these things, immediately gave a fierce look at the few "piglets" beside him who had also tried to escape but were caught by him.
Then, in a menacing tone, he asked, "Tell me, was it the people from this cage who helped them escape?"
At this moment, the "piglets" who had earlier received the keys from Lu Ting and managed to escape hesitated to respond to Ah Cai's question.
After all, Lu Ting was essentially their savior. The fact that they failed to escape and were recaptured was due to their own shortcomings.
"Not talking?!"
Seeing that these "piglets" still had the guts to protect the escaping Zhao Ting and Wang Tianyu, the enraged Ah Cai grabbed one of them, pressed a gun to their forehead, and pulled the trigger without hesitation!
Bang!
With the gunshot, a life was easily taken.
The other "piglets," who witnessed this, recoiled in terror, fearing they might be next. One of them, unable to withstand the intimidation, finally spilled everything he knew about the escape.
Upon hearing the entire escape process of Zhao Ting and Wang Tianyu, Ah Cai felt as if he had just watched an incredibly outrageous sci-fi movie.
Everything that had happened was exactly what he had suspected!
It was indeed Zhao Ting who helped Wang Tianyu escape from the tightly locked room!
"Damn it!"
Cursing under his breath, Ah Cai picked up the phone again and reported to the small-time leader on the other end, "Boss, we've all been tricked! Zhao Ting is not a rich second-generation kid from Longguo; he's a mercenary hired by Wang Tianyu's family!"
Screech—
Hearing this shocking news, the small-time leader, who was driving to the scene, immediately slammed on the brakes. He couldn't believe his ears and confirmed, "What did you say???"
Zhao Ting's identity as a rich second-generation kid from China was fake?!
This... how could this be?!
Just a few hours ago, they had received a ransom of 20 million USD from Zhao Ting's father!
That was real money that had gone into the group's account, and now you're telling me Zhao Ting's identity is fake?!
That he's a mercenary hired by Wang Tianyu's family?!
For a moment, the small-time leader couldn't believe it.
After all, since the moment the casino targeted Zhao Ting, they had been observing and investigating his background. They hadn't found anything unusual, and they could trace every penny Zhao Ting spent in Thailand.
The casino had carefully and meticulously planned every step before targeting Zhao Ting.
However, knowing Ah Cai's usual meticulous style, the small-time leader also realized that Ah Cai must have obtained some concrete evidence to say something so important.
If Zhao Ting's identity was fake, then everything was fake!
Everything was a setup by mercenaries hired by Wang Tianyu's family, and they, who thought their plan was flawless, were actually caught in a trap!
Realizing this, the small-time leader felt a sharp pain in his heart. After steadying his breath and heartbeat, he confirmed again with Ah Cai, "Can you be sure?! Ah Cai, this is no small matter. I need concrete evidence!"
He couldn't imagine the wrath of their boss if this turned out to be true. Everyone involved would face severe punishment!
Ah Cai, understanding the gravity of the situation, quickly replied, "Boss, I'm almost certain Zhao Ting is a mercenary. The 'piglets' here saw him rescue Wang Tianyu with their own eyes!"
Silence fell over the phone.
Now, things were truly troublesome!
At this moment, the small-time leader's mind was racing, thinking of ways to salvage the situation. The only way to avoid punishment was to recapture Wang Tianyu and Zhao Ting—no, the mercenary—and report the situation!
They absolutely must not escape the "KK" zone!
With this in mind, the small-time leader restarted his car, his expression extremely serious as he rushed to the scene. He instructed Ah Cai, "Besides the sentries outside the walls, call in all armed personnel within the zone. We must capture those two!"
"Also, have the outside sentries on high alert. Report any unusual activity immediately. If any other accomplices are found, capture them if possible; if not, kill them directly!"
Since Zhao Ting's identity as a wealthy second-generation heir from China is fake, his daring solo mission into the "KK" zone to rescue someone must have some backing.
There is no way such a big operation would rely solely on him; it's likely his accomplices are waiting outside the zone to assist in the rescue.
Therefore, anyone within the zone can be mobilized, except for the sentry personnel outside. Not only must they not be moved, but they must also be put on high alert!
Hearing his boss's instructions, Ah Cai didn't dare slack off and immediately responded on the phone, "Yes, I'll handle it right away!"
With the small leader's command, all armed personnel within the "KK" electric fraud zone sprang into action!
Their only goal was to capture the escaped Lu Ting and Wang Tianyu as quickly as possible.
At the same time,
The first batch of armed personnel who realized something was wrong had already arrived at the central area of the zone where the school was located.
There were about twenty of these armed personnel, moving in groups of five in a tactical formation, searching from different directions for the escapees.
Clearly, these armed personnel were well-trained; their movement and weapon-handling were highly professional, far superior to the guards.
Just as Lu Ting and Wang Tianyu escaped from the teaching building and reached the back door of the school, they hid in a dark alley on the right, just as a group of armed personnel passed by.
In the darkness, a head popped out from behind a trash can—Lu Ting!
Seeing the armed personnel carefully searching at the alley entrance, Lu Ting's eyes scanned the zone beyond them. The once pitch-dark electric fraud zone was now brightly lit due to the commotion they had caused.
Continuing to escape under such conditions would make them easy targets for the armed personnel.
They needed to create some other trouble to divert the armed personnel's attention!
Thinking this, Lu Ting silently withdrew his head and hid behind the trash can, where they could stay concealed.
"What's the situation?"
As soon as Lu Ting returned, Wang Tianyu, who was also hiding there, couldn't wait to ask in a low voice, "Have they discovered our escape? Are many people looking for us?"
"What do you think?"
Lu Ting's tone was full of exasperation towards Wang Tianyu. After saying this, he reached for the area behind his left ear, where a small tracking device was implanted under the skin.
He planned to send a signal to the 141 Task Force members, who had been lying in wait outside the zone. If the 141 Task Force launched an attack on the electric fraud zone from outside, it would create chaos inside and out.
This would make it easier for Lu Ting to escape with Wang Tianyu during the ensuing chaos!
Hearing Lu Ting's words, Wang Tianyu's face turned even paler. Although he knew the person beside him was extraordinary, the armed personnel in the electric fraud zone were numerous!
There were only two of them, and considering combat capability, Wang Tianyu feared he couldn't even count as half a person. If they had to confront the armed personnel head-on, Lu Ting would be the only effective combatant!
No matter how skilled Lu Ting was, he couldn't single-handedly take on so many foes!
Close combat was a thing of the past; now, it was all about firearms and grenades. Even with Lu Ting's exceptional combat skills, he wouldn't withstand the armed personnel's siege!
Thinking this, Wang Tianyu's face grew more worried. Just as he was about to ask Lu Ting what their next move was, he saw, under the faint moonlight, that Lu Ting was fiddling with something near his ear.
Seeing this, Wang Tianyu was baffled and asked, "What are you doing?!"
Scratching your ear?
Are you Itching?
No.
He knew Lu Ting was calm, but this was too much!
At a time like this?
This is a matter of life and death!
How can he still have the leisure to do this?!
Immediately, the anxious Wang Tianyu was about to speak up, reminding Lu Ting that now was not the time for small actions, but before he could say anything, he saw Lu Ting pull something from behind his ear and hold it between his fingers.
It was about the size of a grain of rice, flashing a faint red light.
Seeing this little gadget, Wang Tianyu was even more confused.
Following the principle of asking when in doubt, he inquired again, "Buddy, what's that?!"
Why so many tricks all day long?!
This time, Lu Ting did not ignore Wang Tianyu's question but answered succinctly, "Tracking device."
Tracking device?!
Hearing Lu Ting's words, Wang Tianyu still looked puzzled and continued to ask, "Why do you have this on you?!"
In response, Lu Ting turned his head and stared at him with a look that seemed to say he was an idiot, and countered, "You didn't think I came alone to rescue you, did you?!"
What does that mean?!
Did Lu Ting mean there were other companions here?!
Thinking of this, Wang Tianyu's face immediately lit up with joy.
Yes!
How did he not think of it before!
Such a big rescue operation, how could Lu Ting be the only one to infiltrate the enemy's base?
There must be a professional team working together!
Suddenly, Wang Tianyu's smile grew uncontrollably larger, and he asked Lu Ting, "Bro, are you notifying them now?!"
"Yes, asking them to help divert the fire!"
While saying this, Lu Ting pinched the small tracking device hard between his fingers, crushing it into pieces.
At the same time, the 141 Task Force, lying in wait outside the "KK" electric fraud zone, immediately received Lu Ting's action signal!
Nikolai, who had been monitoring Lu Ting's tracking signal on a tablet, saw the red dot representing Lu Ting's location disappear and immediately turned to report to Team Price, "Team Price, the commander's action signal has been sent!"
Upon hearing this, Team Price glanced at the tablet Nikolai handed over, then immediately used the individual combat communication device to announce to all 141 Task Force members, "Action!"
These simple words made the blood of the long-waiting 141 Task Force members boil with excitement.
Then, Team Price, Nikolai, and Roach formed the first group, while Sandman, Yuri, and Soap formed the second group. They left their all-day ambush spot and quickly approached the back gate area of the "KK" electric fraud zone!
At this time, Ghost, hidden high on the ridge facing the back gate of the "KK" electric fraud zone, observed the latest movements within the zone through the high-powered scope of his Russell R93 tactical sniper rifle and alerted, "Team Price, the sentries and armed personnel at the back gate area have increased in number. Be careful!"
Copy that!"
All team members heard Ghost's words through the individual combat communication terminal.
However, despite acknowledging it, the team members didn't take it too seriously. After all, in their eyes, these armed personnel were no match for them.
Aside from noting the increase in numbers, the 141 Task Force members felt there was nothing else worth considering.
Soon, Team Price, Nikolai, and Roach's group and Sandman, Yuri, and Soap's group reached the designated attack positions on either side of the back gate area of the "KK" electric fraud zone.
On the other side, Ghost, through the high-powered scope of his Russell R93 tactical sniper rifle, saw that Team Price and the others had reached the designated attack positions. He then aimed at the head of one of the armed sentries.
Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger, firing the first shot of the attack!
