Chapter 73 Breakthrough
Chapter 73 Breakthrough
Chen Chuan had no doubts about Wei Changan's arrangement and said, "Okay, I'll follow Brother Wei's arrangement." Seeing that Wei Changan seemed to have something else to say to Cai Si, he said, "Brother Wei, I'll go down and familiarize myself with the situation nearby and will be back soon."
Wei Changan said: "Okay, be careful."
After he left, Cai Si said to Wei Changan, "Brother Wei, this junior Chen is pretty good."
Generally speaking, newcomers like Chen Chuan's age love to show off, especially those who are skilled and talented, and do not like to be placed at the back.
But due to lack of experience, it is easy to mess things up. He himself went through this, so he generally doesn't like new people to join. But Chen Chuan is the person who provided the clues and the main participant, so it is impossible for him to get rid of him. Fortunately, Chen Chuan is very self-aware, so it's much better.
Sometimes they are not afraid of danger, but are afraid that their own people will hold them back.
Wei Changan said, "Don't underestimate him. Although he is two years younger than us, I was the one who led him on the last mission. But Fatty Guo used some tricks and I almost got into trouble. It was thanks to him that I caught him. This junior is very skilled and decisive. If he had more experience for a year or two, you and I would probably not be as good as him."
"Really?" Cai Si said in surprise, "It's pretty good."
Wei Changan said, "Let's not talk about him for now. You all have to be careful this time. All the information we have now comes from that 'Brother Tian'. Due to limited time and various restrictions, we have no ability to verify everything, so we can only choose to believe it. However, the specific situation is difficult to predict, and nothing can be foolproof, so you must be alert."
Cai Si nodded and said, "Brother Wei, you must be under a lot of pressure, right?"
Wei Changan said: "This is my first time to lead such a task. It would be a lie to say that I am not under a lot of pressure. The Police Bureau specifically assigned this task to me, which made many people in the company unhappy. Now there must be many people waiting to see me make a fool of myself.
But if we can succeed, we need to follow this line to catch Fang Dawei and his gang. With this resume, we will have the hope of becoming senior clients in the future. Then we will have the opportunity to work on our own, so we have to try our best no matter what."
Cai Si nodded silently.
He thought about it again and whispered, "Brother Wei, I have to remind you that except for our own brothers and classmates, most of the others are sent by the company. I'm afraid someone will trip us up. You know, it's hard to accomplish something, but it's very easy to do something bad."
Wei Changan said: "I know, so the key positions can only be filled by our own brothers. Speaking of this, Junior Brother Chen is trustworthy. You can trust him at the critical moment."
Cai Si smiled and said, "It seems that you put him in that position not just to take care of him, Brother Wei. Okay, I understand."
Chen Chuan had already gone downstairs by then. Knowing that he had something to do today, he did not wear his school uniform but changed into an ordinary coat.
He first walked around the trade market. The front part mainly sold daily necessities and clothing, most of which was probably wholesale. There were many tricycles coming and going, and there was also a vegetable market and a fruit market not far away.
While walking on the road in the middle of the market and looking back, through the big sign above the market, you can see a row of windows on the building facing here.
The intersection that Wei Changan asked him to guard was just ahead, with shops selling daily necessities and food on both sides.
After walking around, he bought a bag of apples and three bottles of soda, and walked back along the street. However, when he turned the corner, he glanced in the direction of the building and saw a woman walking out from there. He couldn't help but pay a few more glances at her.
This was because although the other party was a middle-aged woman, her walking rhythm seemed like she had practiced walking. It was just that there were many people who had practiced walking in this era, so he just took a glance and then looked away. He went all the way back to where Wei Changan and the others were staying, put the apples on the table, and handed two bottles of soda to each of them.
Cai Si took it with a smile and said, "Junior brother, you brought something with you. You are so polite. OK, Fourth Brother will definitely take care of you later."
Wei Changan took it but didn't drink it. He just washed an apple and ate it. Then he changed his clothes. When he came out, he looked at his watch and said, "There is still an hour and a half left. We have to get ready. I'll arrange for you first, and then I'll keep an eye on you one by one. Follow me."
He brought two people to the road in front of the trade market, walked into a grain and oil shop on the street, greeted the owner, walked inside, handed a note to Chen Chuan, and said:
"Junior, according to the arrangement, we will act at 10 o'clock. At 10:15, the people will meet on the roof in batches. The firecrackers will go off around 10:20. There may be a delay. We will act half a minute after the firecrackers go off. So at 10 o'clock, you should make this call and ask them to cut off the phone line."
This is to prevent any spies who are missed from calling Scarface when they are taking action. Although Scarface's spies may not be notified by phone, the possibility is very small, and it is better to do something than nothing.
Chen Chuan looked at the number and said OK.
Wei Changan looked at Cai Si again and said, "Watch out." Cai Si nodded seriously.
After Wei Changan left, the two of them waited there patiently, occasionally chatting. Cai Si told Chen Chuan that there were more than just the two of them, there were also some helpers who were responsible for assisting, such as the owner of this shop, who was one of their own, and if there was anything that needed to be done, they could come forward.
As he waited patiently, more than an hour passed and soon it was ten o'clock. Cai Si had been keeping an eye on the time and looked up and said, "Junior, Brother Wei should have started coming upstairs. You can call now!"
Chen Chuan was standing by the phone. Hearing this, he picked up the receiver without any questions and dialed a number. After the call was connected, he followed the instructions on the note and said, "This is the arrest team. Please disconnect the phone line immediately."
The other party said: "Got it, execute it immediately."
Chen Chuan put down the phone and nodded to Cai Si, who walked to the side of the store, looked up, and checked his watch from time to time.
About five or six minutes later, suddenly, there was a commotion on the trade market street behind them, followed by a noise and the sound of running footsteps, and someone shouted, "Fighting has begun, fighting has begun."
Cai Si was startled, looked back upstairs, and murmured, "It seems there is some trouble."
At this moment, Wei Changan and five other people had already reached the roof. They came up one by one from the designated locations, so no one noticed them. However, they were still halfway short of the required number of people, so they were not in a hurry as there were still seven or eight minutes left before the specified time, which was enough time.
But at this moment, they suddenly heard a commotion in the north market, as if something had happened. Someone looked over and said, "Brother Wei, something's going on."
Wei Changan frowned. It was common for troubles to happen in this trade market, but this one made them feel a little uncomfortable. It would easily attract Scarface's attention to that side.
Moreover, the riot happening at this time was just a coincidence. He instinctively felt that he couldn't wait any longer and immediately said, "Something is wrong. Things may have changed. We must act immediately!"
Someone reminded: "But Brother Wei, everyone is not here yet."
Wei Changan said: "Let's take action first and hold them back. When they come up, we will know what to do!"
"Wait a minute." Someone grabbed him and said seriously, "Commissioner Wei, we can't be sure whether Scarface has noticed that side. In this case, why don't we just break through from the south first, and then the people who come later can enter from the north. If we can surround them from both sides, won't our chances be greater?"
Everyone couldn't help but look at Wei Changan, waiting for him to make a decision.
Wei Changan thought about it and realized that this plan was just to change the order of the breakthrough from north to south, so he immediately said, "Okay, let's do it. Don't wait any longer, start now!"
Wei Changan and the others carefully moved to the south side, trying not to make any noise with their feet. Then three of them held one end of the rope, and the other three jumped out while pulling the rope, using the pulling force to crash into the old window.
With a loud crash, the window shattered. Wei Changan rushed in and rolled over, but saw that the room on the east side was empty, while sounds of scolding and fighting came from other rooms. He immediately rushed to another door.
Just as he opened the door, a gust of wind rushed towards him. He turned his head aside and pushed with his hand, but the opponent also kicked him. With the burst of force, both of them were shocked at the same time. He did not retreat a single step, but the man fell back, looked at him, got up, and without thinking, jumped out of the open window on the north side.
Wei Changan ignored him and rushed into the inner room. He saw a teammate entangled with another man and shouted at him, "Scarface is next door!"
Wei Changan immediately ran to the last room, but when he was halfway there, there was a loud bang and the wall opposite was broken. A teammate and bricks flew out. He quickly used his hands to cover himself and stepped back a few steps.
After brushing off the dust, I saw a sturdy man wearing a gray-blue work coat, with thick legs and feet and a suture scar on his face standing behind the broken hole in the wall. He held a machete in one hand and an engineering hammer in the other.
His expression became serious, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Scarface!"
