Reborn in Hong Kong Island, I can see loyalty

Chapter 702 Nighttime Deployment, Hidden Dangers

"Zoom in on the screen and check the security situation around the warehouse. Confirm the number of people inside and their specific deployment." Ye Haoxuan said firmly, his fingertip lightly tapping the warehouse location on the screen. "Also, retrieve the recent traffic surveillance footage around the warehouse to see if there are any traces of Han Ren and Du Xie. Confirm their route for tomorrow night."

"Understood, Officer Ye!"

At that moment, Sasaki Miho strode into the command center, holding a document in her hand, her face showing a grave expression:

"Haoxuan, news has come from the Southeast Asian police that the other eight assassins from the Shadow Organization have also infiltrated Hong Kong Island. According to the clues they have found, these eight assassins have already infiltrated office buildings and hotels around the Convention and Exhibition Centre, disguised as staff and tourists, closely monitoring the security deployment of the Convention and Exhibition Centre, and ready to cooperate with the attack plan three days from now."

She paused, handed the document to Ye Haoxuan, and continued:

"Furthermore, our informants in Japan have reported that there are about fifteen Yamaguchi-gumi members hiding in the Kowloon Tong warehouse. They are all core members of the Yamaguchi-gumi and are equipped with firearms and riot gear. In addition to the remaining explosives and poisons, there are also many traps in the warehouse. Obviously, they are prepared to deal with a police raid."

Ye Haoxuan took the document and quickly flipped through it, his face growing increasingly grim. Eight assassins from the Shadow Organization were lurking around the convention center, fifteen core members of the Yamaguchi-gumi were guarding the warehouse, and with the addition of top assassins Cold Blade and Poison Scorpion, the danger of this confrontation was far greater than he had anticipated. But he showed no panic; instead, his determination to wipe them all out became even stronger.

"Okay, I understand." Ye Haoxuan put away the documents, his tone calm, already having a complete plan. "Meihui, immediately arrange for people to contact the office buildings and hotels around the convention center, and work with the security departments of the hotels and office buildings to conduct another round of screening of all guests and staff, focusing on those whose characteristics match those of the Shadow Organization assassins. Once any trace is found, take them into custody immediately, without alerting them or alerting other lurking assassins."

"In addition, you continue to liaise with the technical department and closely monitor the situation at the Kowloon Tong warehouse. If any unusual activity is detected inside the warehouse, report it immediately. Also, notify 'Overlord Flower' to lead a group of plainclothes officers to the Kowloon Tong Industrial Area in advance to familiarize themselves with the surrounding terrain, block off all intersections around the warehouse, and set up guard posts to prevent any escapees from getting away tomorrow night."

"Understood, Haoxuan, I'll make the arrangements right away!" Sasaki Miho immediately agreed, turned around and walked towards the outside of the command center, her steps quick and decisive, not daring to delay in the slightest.

After Sasaki Miho left, Ye Haoxuan looked at the electronic screen again. The image of the abandoned warehouse in Kowloon Tong had been magnified on the screen. The terrain around the warehouse was clearly visible. It was overgrown with weeds and there was only a narrow dirt road leading to the warehouse gate. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Once the two sides exchanged fire, it would be difficult for the police to break through quickly and they would easily fall into a passive position.

"Flying Tigers Captain, immediately assemble all Flying Tigers members, carry riot control equipment and sniper rifles, and head to a concealed location near the Kowloon Tong Industrial Area to set up a perimeter in advance."

Ye Haoxuan picked up the walkie-talkie, his voice low and powerful, "Tomorrow night at eight o'clock, Hanren and Duxie will go to the warehouse to make contact. You should set up sniper positions on both sides of the dirt road and on the high ground around the warehouse. Once you spot Hanren and Duxie, do not fire without permission. Observe the movement inside the warehouse first. After they have all entered the warehouse and joined up with the Yamaguchi-gumi, we will launch a pincer attack from both inside and outside and capture them all in one fell swoop."

"Roger that, Officer Ye! We'll assemble immediately and proceed to the designated location to set up surveillance!" came the crisp reply from the Flying Tigers captain on the other end of the walkie-talkie.

After hanging up the walkie-talkie, Ye Haoxuan dialed the number of Ba Wanghua again.

"Overlord Flower, this is Ye Haoxuan. You immediately lead twenty plainclothes police officers to the Kowloon Tong Industrial Area to familiarize yourself with the surrounding terrain, block off all intersections around the warehouse, set up guard posts, and prohibit any unauthorized personnel and vehicles from entering. In addition, arrange for people to hide on both sides of the dirt road and closely monitor the movement routes of Han Ren and Du Xie tomorrow night. Once you spot them, report immediately and do not act without authorization."

"Roger that, Officer Ye! We're leaving immediately!" The voice of the female officer was still crisp and firm, without the slightest hesitation.

At this moment, in room 302 of the residential building at No. 178 Binhai Branch Road, Han Ren and Du Xie were sitting at the table with a simple map of the Kowloon Tong warehouse in front of them. The two were talking in hushed tones, finalizing their route and countermeasures for the next night.

On the table were two handguns and several packets of poison. The poison was contained in sealed glass bottles, was black, and emitted a faint, pungent odor. If it came into contact with the skin, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Tomorrow night, we’ll depart at seven o’clock, taking secluded side roads to avoid all surveillance. We’ll arrive at the Kowloon Tong warehouse promptly at eight o’clock to meet the Yamaguchi-gumi members, collect the explosives and poison, and then immediately return to our base without lingering.” Han Ren pointed to the route on the map, his tone cold and steady. “In addition, I’ve already contacted eight other accomplices and asked them to increase surveillance around the convention center tomorrow night to attract the police’s attention and create favorable conditions for our meeting with the Yamaguchi-gumi.”

Scorpion nodded, picked up a vial of poison from the table, shook it gently, and a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes:

"Don't worry, Hanren, I'm prepared. If we encounter a police raid, I'll use these poisons against them. Even if it costs me my life, I'll bring the explosives and poisons back. In addition, I've set up several simple traps along our route. Even if the police are following us, it will delay them."

“Very good.” Han Ren nodded in satisfaction, picked up the pistol on the table, checked the bullets, and said with a hint of determination, “Tomorrow night is crucial to our success or failure, and it’s also the best time for us to get rid of Ye Haoxuan. As long as we successfully obtain the explosives and poison, and then seize the opportunity to eliminate Ye Haoxuan, the attack plan three days later will definitely succeed. At that time, we will be able to complete the mission assigned by the leader and gain both fame and fortune.”

"That's right, even if we die, we cannot fail!" Scorpion gripped the venom in his hand, his eyes filled with madness and determination.

The two checked the route and countermeasures again to make sure there were no oversights before putting away the map and weapons and taking turns to rest, conserving their energy for the operation the following night.

They were still unaware that their every move was under police surveillance. Ye Haoxuan already knew their route for tomorrow night, and even the traps they had set.

As night fell, Hong Kong Island gradually fell silent, with only the police command center and secluded locations in the Kowloon Tong industrial area remaining brightly lit.

Ye Haoxuan stood in front of the electronic screen in the command center, his gaze fixed firmly on the direction of the Kowloon Tong warehouse. There was no sign of fatigue in his eyes, only endless determination and vigilance.

The Flying Tigers have completed their deployment around the Kowloon Tong Industrial Area, with snipers occupying various high points and their guns locked on the warehouse doors.

The plainclothes police officers led by the Overlord Flower had also blocked all the intersections around the warehouse and were hiding in various corners, waiting for the appearance of Cold Blade and Poison Scorpion.

Meanwhile, Miho Sasaki was doing her best to investigate any lurking assassins around the convention center to ensure that no accidents would occur at the trade summit three days later.

A meticulously planned raid is ready; a contest concerning the peace and security of Hong Kong Island is about to begin in the dead of night.

Inside an abandoned warehouse in Kowloon Tong, key members of the Yamaguchi-gumi were patrolling back and forth, guns in hand. In a corner of the warehouse, black boxes filled with explosives and poisons were piled up. The air was thick with the pungent smell of gunpowder and poison, and a sense of impending doom hung in the air.
