At the same time.
After leaving the hospital, Xu Ning'an felt restless. She thought she was quite pitiful, losing in love before even experiencing it, wasn't that pitiable?
Suddenly, her phone rang, it was her officer calling.
She picked up the phone, and a stern voice came through: "We have a mission, return to the station immediately."
"Yes!" Xu Ning'an responded almost without hesitation.
After a brief exchange, the call ended.
Xu Ning'an took two deep breaths, pushing the name 'Lin Tian' out of her mind.
She was a police officer, a special profession, a great and sacred one. Whenever there's a mission, they must be ready at any time, no matter where they are!
Xu Ning'an quickly returned to the station and changed into her combat uniform.
The combat uniform was different from regular police attire, only worn during missions.
By this time, her colleagues were already in their combat gear, standing straight, awaiting orders from the officer, like blades about to be unsheathed.
Xu Ning'an stood in the ranks like an ordinary officer, the objective of the mission came through the headset in her helmet.
'Operation Fill the Sea!'
Hearing these four words, everyone's spirits lifted.
Finally, tonight, Du Dahai, this malignant tumor, would be eradicated!
Xu Ning'an followed the team; their mission was: apprehend Du Dahai!
The team consisted of twelve members, and no one underestimated Xu Ning'an for being a young woman. Those who knew her were aware of her fiery temperament, like the hottest chili pepper, and her abilities were top-notch in the team, whether in marksmanship, combat, or intellect, making her a candidate for the next team leader.
Moreover, most of the evidence against Du Dahai was obtained through her risking her life. Astonishingly, she acquired this crucial evidence without any colleagues' cooperation.
This earned her the respect of everyone, even the leaders favored her. Everyone knew she had a bright future, and remarkably, she was not arrogant or detached, easily getting along with anyone.
She was outstanding in every way, both in ability and looks, truly a rare beauty in the force.
Many pursued her, but none could win her heart.
She was friendly with everyone, but when it came to getting close, she seemed distant. This elusive feeling gave all her suitors a sense of defeat.
"Action!"
Two words came through the headset, and everyone moved in unison, advancing towards the target location.
Their target was a bar, luxuriously decorated, where people swayed, releasing their stress, caring little for their actions or the strange noises they made; it was a time of ultimate freedom.
The squad that Xu Ning'an belonged to avoided the bar's main hall, quietly scaling a high wall, and then took a path with fewer people, charging into the innermost room of the bar.
Du Dahai had no idea that he was already a target marked by the police, under surveillance for a long time.
All officers knew he was currently in this room.
"Bang!"
A kick on the door, and it flew open with a loud crash, all twelve officers rushed in.
Inside the room were seven people, three sitting and four standing, the place filled with smoke. Besides the smell of tobacco, the three sitting were snorting white powder, looking ecstatic.
Among the three seated, besides Du Dahai, Xu Ning'an also saw a familiar face—Xiaogang.
Xu Ning'an recognized him immediately from his photo.
"Don't move! Hands up!" Xu Ning'an held her gun with both hands, pointing at Du Dahai's head, feeling relieved this mission seemed to be a success without danger.
"Hehe, what brings you officers here?"
Du Dahai smiled, appearing relaxed, as if facing twelve old friends rather than twelve guns.
"Hands on your head, squat in the corner!" Xu Ning'an ordered sternly.
Du Dahai nodded with a grin, then all seven raised their hands.
Suddenly, a loud noise erupted in the room, and thick smoke filled the space, obstructing everyone's view.
The smell quickly permeated every corner of the room, overwhelmingly pungent, stinging the eyes and causing uncontrollable tears.
BANG BANG BANG~
Someone started firing, followed by continuous gunfire in the room.
No one could see their target, resulting in blind shooting; the accuracy was poor, as expected.
Xu Ning'an was in a bad state; where she stood had no cover, and she was hit by three bullets. Two on the chest, one in the left leg.
"Pfft~"
Feeling a metallic taste in her throat, accompanied by sharp chest pain, Xu Ning'an spat out a mouthful of blood.
Fortunately, their combat uniforms were bulletproof. Although the bullets couldn't penetrate Xu Ning'an's chest, the impact from such close range left her dizzy, causing her to cough violently.
The worst was her left leg, constantly trembling after being shot, and blood flowed like a small river, not stopping.
Xu Ning'an stood her ground for two seconds, emptying her magazine before collapsing. It felt like all strength in her body was drained.
Soon, the gunfire ceased. Everyone was out of bullets, each finding cover, waiting for the smoke to clear.
Because the room was sealed with only one door open, the smoke dissipated slowly.
After a while, the room began to clear. Someone suddenly shouted: "Not good! They've all escaped!"
This sentence heightened the alertness of the officers, who cautiously peeked out from their cover, discovering the seven individuals had vanished.
Dragging her injured left leg, Xu Ning'an saw this and felt deeply troubled, gritting her teeth, she said: "There's a hidden passage in the room, chase them!"
Those uninjured stood up and started searching the room.
Out of twelve, three were wounded after the brief exchange of fire. Xu Ning'an among them, her blood pooled beneath her, but others were faring worse, at least she was still conscious. Two other officers lay in pools of blood, their fates unknown.
Xu Ning'an tore her pants and, enduring the intense pain, applied a simple bandage to her leg before moving towards the two officers of uncertain status.
At that moment, they found the hidden passage in the room, revealed behind a tightly shut cabinet. Upon realizing something was amiss, they forced it open but found the passage too narrow and blocked by debris from an explosion, making pursuit impossible.
The mission failed, and Du Dahai got away.
