231: Chapter 231 Run!

The irritable voice startled Zhang Ying, who had just stepped out of the room. It was the first time she had seen Chen Shaoping lose his temper.

Chen Shaoping threw the cigarette butt, which had gone out at some point, into the trash can and lit another one.

"Darling, don't worry, there will be a way." Zhang Ying handed Chen Shaoping a bottle of ice-cold Happy Water, hoping to calm him down.

"Thanks!" After Chen Shaoping took it, he unscrewed the cap and took two large gulps.

As the icy drink entered his throat, a surge of gas built up in his chest.

"Burp!"

After letting out a burp, Chen Shaoping felt much better.

He no longer held out hope of getting through to Tian Jun's phone and could only think of another way.

After asking Tan Zhuo for the number of Deputy Director Lu Sihai, Chen Shaoping dialed it without a moment's delay.

Lu Sihai was already asleep, but as soon as the phone rang, he woke up immediately.

Seeing an unknown number, he basically never left a call unanswered out of his duty as a police officer.

He stepped lightly out of the bedroom, fearing the call would wake his wife.

"Hello!"

"Director Lu Sihai, hello!"

"Tian Jun is in great danger. Their operation has been exposed. You must immediately find a way to notify them to evacuate, otherwise they will be wiped out."

Chen Shaoping couldn't care less about anything else; he couldn't contact them himself, so his only hope was the police.

"Who are you, and how do you know this?"

Lu Sihai's expression instantly became grave, and the sound of him bumping into a cup came through the phone.

"Who I am isn't important. But what I can tell you is that a lot of the intelligence Tian Jun received was provided by me."

"Director Lu, there's no time left. You must find a way to contact Tian Jun. It has to be before 0:55, or it will be too late."

After saying that, Chen Shaoping decisively hung up. The reason he claimed the intelligence came from him was to gain Lu Sihai's trust.

If he still didn't believe him after that, then wasting more time talking would be useless.

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Lu Sihai's hand gripping the phone unconsciously tightened.

The reason Tian Jun had risen so quickly recently was precisely because his intelligence was accurate and he had performed meritorious deeds.

Realizing this, he immediately pulled out his phone and began searching for the number.

He called for a long time, but the call went through with no answer.

He checked the time; there were less than ten minutes left.

At this moment, far away at the border of the two countries, Tian Jun had no idea that two people were worrying about him.

He was currently crawling through the jungle, staring intently at the river surface thirty meters ahead.

According to the intelligence received from Yunnan Province, the drug lord leader was planning to leave Dragon Country from here and enter Myanmar.

He didn't know if it was because of the water he just drank, but his stomach was 'gurgling' non-stop, and he let out two loud, smelly farts.

An urgent need to use the bathroom shot through his nerves.

He held it in until his face was flushed red.

The drug enforcement police officers next to him were tortured by his two farts and immediately held their breath, but it was to no avail; it was still unbearably stinky.

"Captain Han, sorry, I need to find a place to relieve myself. I really can't hold it anymore."

Tian Jun's face was already pale; if he didn't resolve it now, he might actually soil his pants.

"Go and come back quickly, don't wander too far," Captain Han agreed.

By the moonlight, Tian Jun rushed up a slightly higher hill nearby in a few strides. From here, he could vaguely see the figures of Captain Han and the others.

The place where they were lying in ambush was at the lowest terrain.

He impatiently unbuckled his belt, even complaining in his heart about why it was fastened so tightly.

He pulled down his pants and just as he squatted down, a 'splat' sound was heard, and Tian Jun showed a look of relief.

Instinctively, he pulled his phone out of his pocket to check it, and as soon as he brought it out, it gave him a fright.

"Ding ding ding!"

A series of notification sounds rang out, all of them missed call alerts from Chen Shaoping.

Over sixty missed call notifications.

Tian Jun couldn't help but complain, 'Is this guy crazy just because I said I'd treat him to dinner?'

Complaints aside, he knew Chen Shaoping must have something to tell him, otherwise he wouldn't have called like this.

He dialed back, holding the phone to his ear and covering his mouth with his other hand.

After hanging up the phone at home, although Chen Shaoping was anxious, he couldn't think of any other way.

Having not had Happy Water for a while, he continued to drink it instead.

When the phone rang, he was startled and even choked for a few moments.

When he saw the name flashing on the phone, his pupils constricted sharply. His right hand unconsciously squeezed the bottle hard, spilling Happy Water onto his hand.

He muttered to himself, "Four Jun, it seems your time hasn't come yet."

He quickly answered the phone, and Tian Jun's soft, whispered voice came through.

"Da Ping, what's up? Calling me so many times... didn't I tell you I'm on a mission?"

One could sense his cautiousness.

Chen Shaoping suppressed the urge to scold him and didn't waste any words.

"Four Jun, leave your current position immediately. Your operation was exposed by an undercover agent. At 0:55, your current location will be showered with grenades."

"Quick!"

Hearing this, Tian Jun's heart raced; he was in no mood to finish his business.

He cut it short, pulled up his pants, and ran toward the ambush site.

Only five minutes left.

As for Chen Shaoping's words, he didn't doubt them at all—he believed them completely!

"Captain Han, everyone, leave here immediately."

"Why!"

"I'll explain to you in a moment. Hurry, there's no time."

Seeing Tian Jun's serious expression, Captain Han no longer hesitated and ordered.

"Go."

A dozen or so people followed Tian Jun's lead and quickly ran into the distance.

They had just run a short distance when three people slowly approached their original ambush position.

Each of them pulled out several grenades and exchanged a glance.

A fierce glint flashed across the face of an elegant-looking man, and he coldly spat out one word: "Throw."

The three of them threw the grenades toward the spot where Tian Jun and the others had been lying in wait.

Starting from 0:55, Tian Jun counted; there were thirteen explosions in total.

After hearing the sounds, the Elegant Man let out a wicked "Heh heh heh" laugh.

"Letting you follow us like little tailing bugs."

"Blow you all to death!"

At his signal, the three of them pulled out pistols.

With one person in front and one behind, sandwiching the Elegant Man in the middle, they headed toward the site of the explosions.

Their pace was not slow, but the further they went, the more something felt wrong. Why was there no screaming, not even a single sound?

The Elegant Man's brow twitched, and he decisively ordered, "Something's wrong, retreat immediately."

Tian Jun's group immediately sprang into action, no longer worried about alerting the drug dealers like before.

"Freeze! Don't run!"

A thrilling and intense police-and-bandit battle unfolded across the border.

Chen Shaoping sat on the sofa, smoking incessantly. Zhang Ying was beside him, saying nothing, just quietly keeping him company.

The time had passed, and he still hadn't received any news from Tian Jun, which kept his heart in his throat.

At 1:10, the Elegant Man was captured, and his two subordinates were shot dead.

On Tian Jun's side, one person had a leg injury, but it shouldn't be life-threatening.

He took out his phone and started looking for a place with a signal, but he couldn't find one for a long time.

Necessity drove him back to the place where he had relieved himself.

He sent a message to Chen Shaoping.

Chen Shaoping had been staring at his phone; upon hearing the alert, he checked it immediately.

Four Jun: Safe! Mission accomplished! Who is the mole?

Chen Shaoping's hanging heart finally settled. His expression relaxed, and his stomach let out a gurgling sound.

After quickly replying to Tian Jun, he said to Zhang Ying beside him.

"Sister Ying, I'm hungry. Make some noodles for me!"
