As for the two, man and woman, who seed like a girl's parents, they couldn't be relied upon since a stressful environnt might blur so mories. Even the slightest hope dashed away when the caller noticed there wasn't a license plate.
She began to think about how to comfort and found herself powerless. Shaking her head, she chased the two elders who were pursuing the fleeing vehicle and was lost for words.
A couple of blocks away, one black van drove way beyond the speed limit. It was Su Ruoi's team. Because the goal was to intercept, they had to arrive before the gangs left and stopped them ahead.
The team entered narrow streets, turning left and right, based on the navigation. Thankfully, the GPS system and AI were too smart.
Su Ruoi clenched the handrail above as the driver beside her maneuvered with skills and precision. Once, she almost had a heart attack because the width was too close for the van to pass through. The driver didn't even slow down for a mont. A re distance of 3 fingers.
Until they passed through the obstacles, Su Ruoi breathed and glared at the driver, who shrugged back. Sotis, she regretted and thanked the guards who had undergone tactical driving training.
However, this wasn't over. The driver turned the steering wheel with haste as the van traveled through several alleyways. Hopping up and down inside, due to uneven road surfaces, and being thrown around left and right, the mbers weren't feeling well.
"1-1, 1-2. The girl is being taken away. We don't have much ti." Athena's voice ca from the radio. "What's your ETA?"
Looking at the driver for answer, Su Ruoi saw three fingers shaking on the steering wheel. She nodded and replied. "1-1, 3o seconds away."
"1-2, we've already spotted the target and are on pursuit." Jiang Yu's voice uttered in the channel. Her team steered in the direction and sped up. Although they could see the contour and color of the van ahead, the distance was still far.
"Athena, how can you see us so clearly?" Su Ruoi asked her doubt.
"Of course, I'm using a military satellite passing overhead."
Su Ruoi choked. There was no way soone would give permission to a private party like them to access the military satellite, state of the art technologies. Then, the only thod Athena gained access didn't need to be described.
Bang!
As the car turned 90 degrees left, Su Ruoi's head hit the window. "Ouch!"
"Sorry, we're about to arrive soon," The driver said. She also heard Athena's reply and was stunned, turning at a higher speed than it was supposed to.
Su Ruoi rolled her eyes and wore her helt. The mbers behind checked everything because they knew the target was getting close.
To avoid injuring pedestrians, the driver honked without restraint, alarming the entire block. People cursed in confusion at the continuous noise disturbance.
The van made the next turn right and reached another street. The driver punched the gas and gunned down her vehicle.
Exactly at the ti their team was on the specific street, Athena ca in. "1-1, you're about to reach your target. Be ready!"
"Got it. 1-1 to 1-2, initiating blockade."
"1-2 received."
"On my count then," Athena said.
"5….
Su Ruoi's van arrived at the intersection and halted at an angle, a couple of feet away from the target vehicle, blocking its path. The driver hit the brake and tires screeched.
Controlling the feeling of the whole weight thrown to the front, the team mbers dismounted imdiately once the van skidded to a stop.
Su Ruoi had already opened the door a little before the wheel stopped and sprung out of her seat, grabbing the rifle along. She was the first to touch her feet on the ground.
Two slider doors yanked backward. Rapid footsteps hit the asphalt. The mbers ford a line formation with their weapons pointed toward the unknown van.
In a matter of seconds, all mbers had exited the Alphard except for the slower driver. According to the original plan discussed, everyone held a specific weapon type. Most used pistols to avoid overpenetration, especially for a hostage situation in a narrow confined space. The driver took out shotgun from her seat and Su Ruoi retained her primary weapon of choice—QBU-192.
"Let see your hands!"
"Show your hands!"
"Don't move!"
"Hands! Hands!"
The team cried out various strong verbal commands as they rushed to the van. The people inside seed to be dumbfounded by their sudden appearance. Their brains suffered a circuit breakdown before they realized their situation. By then, everything was too late.
In fact, even if they had quick reaction, the flawless execution, and planning already deed their fate.
Su Ruoi aid the assault rifle at the two-seaters on the front from the driver's side. The rest took their positions. One of the mbers pointed her pistol and knocked on the window, ordering the n inside to get out, then yanked the door handle. Another did the sa to the slider door behind.
The teammate beside Su Ruoi tried but to no avail. It seed the people inside were either non-compliant or stupid due to their aggressive actions.
After a while, another noise of tires screeched behind the van. Jiang Yu's team had arrived. Now, the gangsters were locked. The options to retreat had gone.
Perhaps, sothing registered, the gang driver moved his hand, presumably to drive straight. All of his actions were under Su Ruoi's eyes. With a chilled voice, she ordered. "Blow it."
Her driver, wielding a shotgun, lowered the barrel at the tire and burst it into pieces. The front part of the van dropped in height. The loud bang seed to only frighten the man on the wheel a little and the engine revved again. Everyone knew he hadn't given up and pressed the pedal.
This ti, Su Ruoi smashed the muzzle at the window. The glass shattered, shocking the man. She cleared the debris sticking on the fra with the barrel, not forgetting to give commands. "Do not move or I'll rip your head out! Hands where I can see them!"
Continue your journey on empire
Her drive-chan removed the lock and swung the door. The two cooperated and threw the driver down to eat the dirt. The other seat experienced the sa treatnt.
Another glass shattered. Su Ruoi wanted to turn her head but decided to trust her teammates and stay focused.
The culprit was her team mber, who broke the window on the slider door with her elbow and stretched her hand in to unlock it. After pulling the door handle back with her weight, another mber covering her movent entered and subdued the nearest gangsters.
"Hands! Hands!"
Her pistol compressed to her chest while the other free hand moved to take down opponents. Two of them entered the back while not forgetting to shout commands of surrender.
At the sa ti, Jiang Yu's team mbers filled in the gap, covering from outside through the window while so rushed in. At least another 5 had rolled in. In a constricted space, Ling Qingyu's guards moved with difficulty but their actions uninhibited.
The gangs sitting at the back enjoyed so smacks and kisses from the pistols wielded by them, whenever the n showed any signs of resistance. They were pressed on the seat by the intimidating black-tactical-clothing figures, unable to move.
The victim was soon lifted out of the vehicle and carried toward Jiang Yu's direction. After ordering her subordinates who were free to implent peripheral securities, Jiang Yu let the poor girl relax in her carriage. The girl was hugged and consoled.
The hostage's expression of not knowing whether to cry in fear or shed tears of joy almost spurted out laughter from Jiang Yu and the mber who had carried her. After all, everything changed in a matter of seconds.
Despite seeming to appear arduous, the action finished within a dozen seconds from the start of getting boots on the ground to a successful rescue fully utilizing Surpise, Speed, and Violence of action. (The fundantal of any battle)
