Qi Taiguo returned to Shuiping Village with Wan Dahe and immediately bumped into Chief Sun Tianlong, a local police officer involved in the capture operation.
"Commander Qi, you're back. How did it go? Did you find anything?" Sun Tianlong asked with a smile as he greeted them.
Though Sun Tianlong is a police officer, he only got the position through connections and has never served in the military. Initially, he was not part of this mission, but he volunteered to join, claiming that he wanted to avenge his sworn brother, the deceased officer Wang Xing.
Qi Taiguo and Ma Guangshe, another squadron leader, were in command of this operation, and they issued all the top directives.
The squads they led were rotating through day and night shifts, but sadly, despite several days of effort, they hadn't yielded any results, which was starting to dampen morale.
