Under the cover of night, everyone tiptoed to the vicinity of that house.
Through the surveillance over this period, they were already familiar with the surroundings, so Pan Hu immediately had everyone disperse and surround the house on all sides.
Zheng Yujie and his team were too clever for their own good, worried that villagers might discover their secret, so they reinforced the courtyard walls around the house to be particularly high and sturdy.
Therefore, apart from entering through the front door, it was very difficult to get in or out from other places.
Hence, all the key police forces were arranged in front of the main entrance.
At this moment, Zhang Jun and others also arrived to join them.
After quickly exchanging information, Pan Hu decided to lie in wait until Zheng Yujie and his group came out, and then spring out to arrest them, catching them off guard.
As long as these big fish were caught, dealing with the small fry inside would be much easier.
Then everyone hid on both sides of the gate and in various surrounding spots, patiently waiting.
About an hour later, they finally heard a burst of conversation from inside.
Here they come!
Pan Hu's heart stirred as he immediately gave a signal, and the already tense group instantly focused intensely, eyes fixed toward the direction of the gate, poised to act.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Soon the sound of unbolting came from the gate, followed by the door being pulled open.
"Be careful, we're heading back first."
As Zheng Yujie spoke, he and Zhou Fei stepped out of the gate.
As soon as he emerged, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, his years of training brought a strong sense of crisis awareness.
Before he even processed it mentally, his hand had already shot toward his waist.
However, his speed was fast; others were even faster. A figure darted toward him, decisively tackling him to the ground, and he was instantly pinned by several people, losing all ability to act.
Zhou Fei's reaction was much slower, and before he realized anything was amiss, he too was quickly subdued.
"Who are you?"
Zhou Fei roared in struggle, a loud shout echoed in his ear, "Don't move, police!"
While Zhou Jun led the capture of Zheng Yujie, Pan Hu's team simultaneously sprang into action.
They kicked open the door that was about to close and quickly stormed in, "Freeze, hands up, police!"
The one closing the door was just a minion, the mere word 'police' made his heart tremble, and when he saw the black muzzle pointed at him, he lost all will to resist.
"Don't kill me, I surrender!"
He decisively raised his hands, pleading pale-faced.
Someone naturally stepped up to cuff him and took him outside. Pan Hu did not linger and continued to charge inward with the others, when suddenly the door to the room was pulled open a crack.
"Not good, scatter!"
Realizing the danger, Pan Hu shouted, just as a gunshot rang out, a bullet whisked past his ear, hitting the wall behind.
Fortunately, no one was hurt, but Pan Hu was still scared into a cold sweat.
"Take cover, everybody take cover."
While firing towards the source of the shots, he reminded everyone to hide, and quickly ducked behind a pile of wood in the courtyard.
Luo Fei and Zhou Tao also followed him in hiding.
"There's a gun inside, Pan, what do we do now?" Zhou Tao asked anxiously.
It's common for drug dealers to have guns, Zhou Tao had encountered gunfights during many of the arrest operations he participated in.
Such situations had become routine for him, yet they still made him nervous.
Because every gunfight risked injury or sacrifice of a team member...
Pan Hu shared the same concerns.
As captain, he didn't want any of his team members to get hurt.
"Everyone stay hidden for now, don't act rashly."
He instructed everyone through the earpiece.
Then he raised his voice and shouted inside, "Listen up inside, you're surrounded, abandon futile resistance, maybe you can still...."
Before he finished speaking, a gunshot rang out, a bullet hitting the pile of wood he was hiding behind.
The other side said nothing, but the shot seemed to indicate their stance.
Inside, the three minions had turned into a panic-stricken mess. Watching Wang Yan facing off with the police at the door, one of them stuttered, "Yan, Yan bro, shouldn't we surrender?"
"Didn't they say if we surrender, we might get leniency?"
"Idiot, you believe the cops? With what we've done, we could be executed a dozen times by law, yet you hope for leniency?"
Wang Yan snapped back irritably, his mind racing for a strategy.
Prolonging the standoff was no solution; the bullets would eventually run out.
Once the police stormed in, he'd have no escape.
So he had to find a way to sneak away.
He knew that outside the backyard wall lay vast farmland.
If he fled from here, he'd have a good chance to escape.
And while the courtyard wall was high, there were piles of wood at the back, so climbing over wasn't too difficult...
Just then, several gunshots were heard from outside the gate, rapid and loud. He waited for quiet to be sure, and decisively fired another shot outside, then quickly said to the three, "Let's go, we'll leave from the back!"
Of course, his motive wasn't chivalry, but to use the three as scouts.
Given the police's intelligence, they must have someone stationed around the house.
The idea was to have these three draw their attention first, making it easier for him to escape.
The three had no clue of his plan, and quickly darted towards the back.
Meanwhile, as Pan Hu's negotiation failed, Luo Fei suddenly stepped up, "Pan, cover me to go around back."
"I've scoped it before, there's a door at the back of the house, I worry they might climb the wall and escape from there, especially given they have guns. Remind our team outside to be cautious."
Without waiting for Pan Hu's approval, he crouched low and dashed towards the rear.
"Luo Fei, don't act rashly!"
Pan Hu was anxious, unable to shout loudly, he could only murmur forcefully, but Luo Fei couldn't hear him, as he was already near the vision line of the door.
To avoid alerting the drug dealers inside, Pan Hu decisively fired a few shots as cover.
Seizing this chance, Luo Fei managed to leave their field of view and quickly ran to the rear.
Seeing him sprint away, Pan Hu was almost apoplectic with anger at his impulsiveness.
He immediately reminded in the earpiece for him to be cautious and then notified the outside personnel to proceed to the back of the courtyard, also informing them of the gun possession.
"Got it, Pan."
Zhou Jun had just secured the three apprehended to be monitored, and upon receiving Pan Hu's orders, he left four colleagues to guard while decisively led the rest to rush toward the yard's back.
There, Luo Fei had just arrived at the back and saw several figures emerging from the house's rear door.
He ducked behind a pile of planks to hide.
The few darting out like startled birds didn't notice him. Wang Yan quickly said, "Climb out here fast, I'll cover the rear."
The three minions were touched and scrambled up the woodpile quickly to the top of the wall, seeing it was over two meters high, they gritted their teeth and jumped down.
Wang Yan waited quietly, and sure enough, soon after he heard them land, the shouts and chase from the police started.
Now!
Without hesitation, he tucked his handgun into his waistband and deftly climbed the wood, ready to climb the wall.
Suddenly, a familiar voice behind him sounded, "Hey Yan, where so fast in a hurry?"
Wang Yan was startled, and the next moment he was pulled down from the woodpile.
He fell heavily to the ground, ignoring the pain, his hand swiftly went for his waist.
But Luo Fei didn't give him the chance, swiftly lunging forward, he grabbed his wrist in a restraining hold.
With genes enhancing his strength, describing Luo Fei's power like that of a bull wasn't an exaggeration, Wang Yan couldn't even resist, letting out a cry as he lost all strength.
