Chapter 94: Action and Arrest

At an intersection, Xia Jun anxiously waited, glancing around from time to time. Yan Shi Ning had parked the car further away and did not join Xia Jun. Since he had driven Xia Yu's car, although the license plate had been removed, it could still cause trouble for Xia Yu if noticed by the police.

At that moment, Xia Jun heard the rumble of approaching cars in the distance. The number of vehicles was considerable, which made him perk up and focus intently on the direction of the sound.

Soon, Xia Jun saw several ordinary cars approaching, not police cars. If not for the intelligence, he wouldn't have realized that these were police vehicles.

"That's the license plate! No mistake!"

Seeing a car with a license plate matching the one Xia Yu had written, Xia Jun took a deep breath and rushed to the middle of the road to stop the vehicle.

"Stop! I have an urgent report!"

Xia Jun shouted loudly, holding up his police credentials in front of the approaching vehicle.

The car's high beams made it difficult for him to see, but he endured the discomfort.

"Screech..."

The car screeched to a halt. The door opened, and several people jumped out, quickly taking up defensive positions. Others rushed over to subdue Xia Jun and began to search him.

Xia Jun did not resist and spoke in English, "I'm a police officer. I have important intelligence to report. Take me to Officer Allen!"

Officer Allen was the head of the International Criminal Police Organization in Hong Kong, responsible for tonight's operation.

The people who subdued Xia Jun exchanged glances. One of them snatched Xia Jun's police credentials, examined them, and confirmed his identity, but they still did not release him and instead forced him into the car.

Once inside, Xia Jun saw the person he wanted to meet. From the photos he had seen before, it was Officer Allen.

"Officer Allen, I have important information to report…"

Xia Jun immediately began to report and confirmed his identity. Fortunately, one of the people in the car was from the police station and recognized Xia Jun, verifying his identity.

"Chief, the planned time is approaching!" A foreigner next to Allen reminded him as he pondered.

"Officer Allen, I swear on my life that my intelligence is absolutely accurate. The Ma family has an insider in the Hong Kong police, named Liu Feng. Your plan has been leaked. The place you're heading to is a decoy!"

"Look, the intelligence is from here!" Xia Jun said anxiously, trying to persuade Allen, pointing to the SD liquor bottle symbol on the note.

Seeing the symbol, Allen's expression grew serious. He was internally conflicted.

He wasn't sure whether to trust Xia Jun, an unknown person. However, knowing their plan meant it had indeed been leaked, at least Xia Jun was aware of it.

Xia Jun pointing out that the intelligence came from the SD organization, which was well-known for its powerful intelligence-gathering capabilities, added to the credibility of the information. The interception of their vehicle on the way further confirmed its reliability. Furthermore, naming the insider in the Hong Kong police directed Allen to believe that Xia Jun's information was genuine.

But with the plan already set, changing it at the last minute was risky. If Xia Jun's information were false, it would be a trap.

"Officer Allen, I'm in your hands. I can't gamble with my life!" Xia Jun spoke again, his face full of anxiety.

Allen took a deep breath, looked at Xia Jun intently, then turned to his subordinates and said, "Change the plan. Ross, take half of the team to proceed with the original plan. The rest will come with me!"

The person named Ross nodded. Since Allen had made the decision, he immediately carried it out, jumping out of the car and leading the others to take action.

Seeing that Allen was finally persuaded, Xia Jun showed a pleased expression. He had completed the task Xia Yu assigned to him!

Soon, the convoy split into two routes, heading to two different locations to set up an ambush.

Seeing the change in the convoy, Yan Shi Ning in the distance also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Xia Jun had succeeded. It was now up to him.

...

Worried that there might still be insiders within the Hong Kong police, Allen chose not to immediately pass the obtained intelligence to the Hong Kong police but decided to act first himself.

If the original plan's execution location was indeed a decoy, Ross leading a team there, knowing the location provided by Xia Jun, would be able to respond promptly.

Allen preferred to trust his own people over the unfamiliar Hong Kong police!

...

Soon, Ross, following the original plan, led his team to meet with the Hong Kong police. The Hong Kong police team was led by Zhao Zhengfeng, head of the Action Division.

"Captain Ross, why isn't Officer Allen here? And why are there so many fewer people?" Zhao Zhengfeng asked in confusion upon seeing the smaller number of people and not seeing the familiar Allen.

"Allen had some issues and will arrive later. By the way, I suggest you check on a person named Liu Feng in your intelligence department when you return," Ross explained briefly.

Zhao Zhengfeng's brow furrowed. His police instincts told him that Ross might be lying. He speculated whether Allen had discovered something.

However, executing the plan was urgent, and other issues could be addressed later. Zhao Zhengfeng made a note of Liu Feng in the intelligence department and decided to investigate him thoroughly if the plan encountered problems tonight.

"Captain Ross, time is tight. Let's proceed with the deployment according to the plan…"

After discussing with Ross, Zhao Zhengfeng's team and Ross's team quickly dispersed and hid in other locations around the dock.

Time passed minute by minute…

The sound of car engines roared through the silent dock. Zhao Zhengfeng hurriedly grabbed his binoculars and looked over.

Upon seeing the vehicles, Zhao Zhengfeng's brows knitted together. Among the people disembarking from several cars, he did not see Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen. The situation was entirely different from the intelligence received.

Moreover, after waiting for a while, the contact person had not appeared!

He immediately recalled what Ross had said earlier and the missing Allen. Zhao Zhengfeng's face darkened.

There might indeed be an insider. They had been tricked!

But Zhao Zhengfeng still held a glimmer of hope. If they could find some illicit items among these people, it would save face. Otherwise, they would be thoroughly embarrassed before the International Criminal Police Organization!

"Take action!"

Zhao Zhengfeng immediately gave the order. Regardless of the truth, delaying would be disadvantageous. If this was indeed a smokescreen, ending it quickly would allow him to support Allen and possibly catch Ma Xiru and the others.

With Zhao Zhengfeng's order, the police hidden in the surroundings quickly moved into action, surrounding the people who had gotten out of the cars with weapons drawn.

"Raise your hands! I'm a police officer!"
