58: He came here alone, his name is Ye Lin

Tonight's operation involved foreign mercenaries, so for safety's sake, Director Wei Jun of the Police Department called all departments and other units together. A group of people sat in the conference room, waiting with serious expressions for the battle ahead to begin.

After Director Wei finished his call, he looked up at everyone. "Zhai Wei just called me. There might be another one of our teams on San Tou Mountain."

As soon as he said this, everyone present changed their expressions.

What?

Everyone lowered their heads, trying hard to recall if any of their subordinates had been dispatched, or if they had forgotten anything.

"Special Operations Brigade, are they your people?" Director Wei looked at the Special Operations Brigade.

The latter shook his head. "All our people are here; no one has gone out to participate in any operations."

"What about public order? Anti-narcotics? What about you?"

Several people in charge repeatedly shook their heads. "We don't have any missions out."

Everyone was aware of missions involving firearms; no one dared to act recklessly.

"What about the Comrade from the armed police? Is there some special mission?" Director Wei looked at an armed police lieutenant colonel.

The armed police and the regular police were two different systems; often, they had their own missions, and it was hard to say if there was any overlap.

"Director Wei, no, we haven't received any missions from our superiors at the moment."

Director Wei had a bit of a headache. If none of them had, then who could it be?

He looked at the intelligence team. "Check the surveillance, look at the surveillance near San Tou Mountain for any clues."

"Start from the foot of the mountain on the other side, the other side of our operation."

It must be said that current surveillance is quite advanced; even in a remote place like San Tou Mountain, cameras were installed.

Since few people came here at night, the intelligence team quickly identified two vehicles, driving one after another towards San Tou Mountain.

"Check, check the license plates, see which unit they belong to."

At Director Wei's command, the traffic police immediately sprang into action. Everything was networked now, so the results came quickly.

"Reporting, Director Wei, both these cars are from Yuezhou City, not our Lincheng City. One car owner is named Wu Shuangyuan, and the owner of the other car reported being robbed at gunpoint."

"Robbed at gunpoint!"

Wow, everyone was in an uproar. Yuezhou City had a major case! Although it wasn't as serious as their current foreign mercenary situation, in terms of social impact, Yuezhou's armed robbery, especially of a civilian, was definitely more shocking.

Yuezhou would probably have a tough time with this.

Director Wei thought for a moment. "I'll make a call and ask."

He took out his phone and dialed a number, which was answered surprisingly quickly: "Director Zhu, it's Wei Jun from Lincheng. Sorry to bother you so late."

This call was to Zhu Yi, the Police Department Director of Yuezhou City. Zhu Yi said with a laugh, "No bother, I'm still up with a mission tonight. What is it, Old Wei? Do you need our cooperation for something?"

"You have a mission too?"

"Yes, catching a drug dealer. Why?"

"A drug dealer robbed a car at gunpoint?" Director Wei asked.

Zhu Yi on the other end paused. "Uh, the situation is a bit complicated, Old Wei. Just speak directly."

"That car of yours that was robbed is now here on San Tou Mountain in our Lincheng City, and there's a gunfight happening here. Our people are also operating here, so I called to ask if you sent anyone?"

"San Tou Mountain? The one near your coast?"

"Yes. We checked surveillance after hearing gunshots and saw two cars driving one after another towards San Tou Mountain. One of them was the car the security guard said was robbed at gunpoint."

Zhu Yi suddenly shouted, "So that's where he is!"

Uh, what's going on, why is Old Zhu so excited?

"Old Zhu, don't get excited. We'll capture this robber for you in one fell swoop. The problem is the owner of the other car, named Wu Shuangyuan, is he one of your people? We heard police gunshots." Director Wei said magnanimously.

"One fell swoop my foot! Old Wei, it wasn't an armed robbery; our people requisitioned a car and are now out of contact."

"So, he was chasing the drug dealer to San Tou Mountain. Old Wei, please be sure to tell your subordinates not to cause friendly fire." Zhu Yi shouted excitedly over the phone.

Director Wei was a bit confused. How did an armed robbery turn into a requisition?

But he understood one thing: there were indeed police from Yuezhou who had pursued them.

"Alright, how many people came? What's the leader's name? I'll have our people pay attention."

"Just one person, named Ye Lin."

"What? One person?" Director Wei exclaimed.

"Old Zhu, there's a team of foreign mercenaries here. One person is just going to his death, it's absurd!"

"He was chasing a drug dealer who killed someone and injured two of our brothers. They're still in critical condition." Zhu Yi's tone was a bit heavy. Two auxiliary police officers were shot in the abdomen and were currently in the hospital in critical condition, with an unknown outcome.

"I understand." Director Wei understood everything as soon as he heard that his own people were injured.

Although there were different ranks in the police department, they were all one family. If any family member was injured, others would not hesitate to go and catch the culprit, bringing him to justice.

However, understanding was one thing, but for just one person to pursue them, it was a bit too much.

"This Ye Lin is from the Xishan Branch Bureau. I'll have people from the Xishan Branch Bureau rush over to support." Previously, Yuezhou traffic police had already found surveillance footage of Ye Lin driving, heading south, so Yu Haifeng and his team had already departed.

"It's probably too late. They've already engaged fire over there. Old Zhu, I'll remind our people, don't worry." Director Wei comforted Zhu Yi and hung up the phone.

Zhu Yi sighed and looked south. Remind their people? How to remind them? In the dark, with guns, Ye Lin, I hope heaven protects you.

In Lincheng, Director Wei immediately called Zhai Wei after hanging up. "Confirmed, it's a police officer from Yuezhou, named Ye Lin, and he's alone."

Director Wei roughly explained the whole story.

"No, Director Wei, this is too exaggerated. He came alone, but there are heavy weapons here!"

"Don't be ridiculous. He's just tracking a fugitive. He hasn't done anything wrong. And it seems very likely that the target of these mercenaries is this fugitive, so your goals are consistent. Therefore, you must ensure the safety of that Comrade. Yuezhou has already had two injuries, and if this one also gets hurt, I won't know what to tell Yuezhou."

"Yes, Director Wei, mission accomplished." Zhai Wei responded.

After hanging up, Zhai Wei whispered to Zhu Yong, "Confirmed, it's a police officer from Yuezhou, tracking a fugitive, named Ye Lin."

Zhu Yong was a bit helpless and said to everyone behind him, "Everyone, pay attention. There's also a colleague from Yuezhou in this operation. Everyone be careful not to accidentally injure our own people."

"Move out, they've already engaged fire over there."

In the forest in the middle of San Tou Mountain, several more gunshots rang out, and a few of them were sniper rifle shots.
