Chapter 658 Ambush at the Stronghold, Covert Battle
Chapter 658 Ambush at the Stronghold, Covert Battle
The voice on the phone struck Ye Haoxuan's heart like a stone.
Deep within Kowloon Walled City.
That's a more complex and dangerous place than the edge.
The area is not only crisscrossed by narrow alleys, but also contains a variety of messy houses and abandoned factories.
The police force is simply not able to cover the entire area, and it is also home to all sorts of idle people and desperate criminals.
The Black Blade Group hid its core stronghold there, clearly indicating that it had made ample preparations for a long-term infiltration.
"Miho, can you pinpoint the exact location?"
Ye Haoxuan lowered his voice, his tone tinged with urgency.
He knew that once Sato Ichiro hid in the core base, capturing him would be extremely difficult.
"I found out the approximate location through an old acquaintance in Japan."
Miho Sasaki's voice remained solemn.
"In an abandoned textile factory deep in Kowloon Walled City."
“That area is very remote, surrounded by abandoned buildings, and few people come and go.”
"Moreover, I suspect that there is more than just Ichiro Sato there."
"The remaining four assassins of the Black Blade Group are most likely hiding there as well."
Ye Haoxuan's eyes instantly sharpened.
Four top assassins, plus Ichiro Sato.
There is also a meticulously planned core stronghold.
This is clearly a trap.
Even knowing it was a trap, he had to go.
Ichiro Sato is the Black Blade Group's contact person in Hong Kong.
Capturing him will allow us to fully uncover the Black Blade Group's smuggling plans in Hong Kong.
That way, justice can be served for the victims of the abandoned warehouse in Causeway Bay.
"Miho, don't come any closer."
Ye Haoxuan gave the order in a deep voice.
"It's too dangerous there. You can stay outside and meet us."
"I'll send you the specific route, and you can keep an eye on the surrounding area for me."
"Notify me immediately if you discover that the Black Blade Group has broken through."
"okay, I get it."
Without the slightest hesitation, Miho Sasaki immediately agreed.
"You must be careful, Haoxuan."
"The assassins of the Black Blade Group are skilled in ambushes and act without regard for the consequences."
"Never underestimate your opponent."
"Don't worry, I will."
Ye Haoxuan gently comforted her before hanging up the phone.
He turned around and looked at the police officer beside him.
The three officers who were injured have already received basic first aid from other officers.
Although his face was pale, his eyes remained firm.
"Everyone, assemble."
Ye Haoxuan's voice was authoritative and firm, instantly attracting the attention of all the police officers.
"We will now proceed directly into Kowloon Walled City."
"Target: the abandoned textile factory deep within the walled city."
"That's the core stronghold of the Black Blade Group. Sato Ichiro and the remaining four assassins are hiding there."
Upon hearing this, the officers' expressions changed slightly.
They were all well aware of the dangers deep within Kowloon Walled City.
But not a single person backed down.
"Inspector Ye, we'll go with you!"
One of the officers spoke first, his tone firm.
"Yes! We'll go with you!"
Other officers echoed this sentiment loudly.
Looking at the police officer in front of him, Ye Haoxuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
These people were his brothers who had gone through thick and thin with him.
No matter how great the danger, they always stood by his side.
"it is good!"
Ye Haoxuan nodded heavily, his tone firm.
"Remember, the terrain deep within Kowloon Walled City is complex, and the Black Blade Group's assassins are skilled at ambushes."
"Everyone must remain vigilant during the operation."
"Work in pairs, cover each other, and do not act alone."
"Without my order, no one is allowed to fire, lest we alert the enemy."
"Yes, Inspector Ye!"
The officers responded in unison, their voices showing no fear.
Subsequently, Ye Haoxuan arranged for two police officers to escort the captured Japanese assassin to a safe area.
Three other officers were assigned to stay behind and organize the evidence in the small house before following them.
He himself, along with the remaining ten police officers, quietly made their way deeper into Kowloon Walled City.
The two brothers that AMOON had arranged also followed along.
They were familiar with the terrain of Kowloon Walled City and could act as guides.
The night grew darker.
Deep within Kowloon Walled City, it was utterly dark.
Only a few scattered lights shone from the windows of the dilapidated houses.
The alley was narrower and steeper than the edge.
The ground was covered with gravel and trash, and you would make a sound if you weren't careful when you walked.
Ye Haoxuan walked at the front, followed by police officers in pairs, covering each other and following carefully.
Everyone gripped their sidearms tightly, their eyes warily scanning their surroundings.
In addition to the smell of garbage and mildew, there was also a faint smell of blood in the air.
That's a dangerous sign.
"Brother Xuan, the area ahead is the abandoned textile factory area."
One of the brothers lowered his voice and said to Ye Haoxuan.
Ye Haoxuan nodded, signaling everyone to stop.
He raised his head and looked ahead.
Not far away, a cluster of abandoned buildings stood in the night.
The building in the very middle is an abandoned textile factory.
The factory windows were pitch black, without a single light.
It looks like a lifeless tomb.
But Ye Haoxuan knew that the most ruthless assassin was hiding inside.
It hides the most dangerous trap.
"Everyone, slow down and approach quietly."
Ye Haoxuan lowered his voice and gave the instructions softly.
"Pay close attention to your surroundings. If you notice anything unusual, signal us immediately."
The officers nodded and began to move forward cautiously toward the abandoned textile factory.
The gravel underfoot made a faint sound as it was stepped on.
In the deathly silence of the night, it sounded particularly jarring.
They were just fifty meters away from the factory when...
Suddenly, a sharp whistle pierced the silence of the night.
"call out--"
As soon as the whistle fell, four dark figures rushed out from the surrounding abandoned buildings.
The dark figure moved swiftly, like a ghost, and charged towards Ye Haoxuan and the police officers.
In their hands, they each held a specially made black dagger.
The cold light gleamed, particularly dazzling in the night.
"Oh no! An ambush!"
Ye Haoxuan let out a low shout, his eyes instantly turning icy cold.
He had long anticipated that the Black Blade Group would set up an ambush.
But he didn't expect the other party to be so fast and so ruthless.
"Everyone, prepare for battle!"
Ye Haoxuan's voice pierced through the chaotic scene.
The officers immediately reacted and raised their service weapons.
But the shadowy figure was too fast.
Before they could fire, the dark figure had already rushed in front of them.
"Pfft!"
A muffled thud.
A police officer who was lagging behind was unable to dodge in time and was stabbed in the shoulder by a dagger from a dark figure.
Blood gushed out instantly, staining his police uniform red.
"what!"
The officer groaned in pain and staggered back a few steps.
The other shadowy figures also joined the fray.
He brandished his daggers, each strike deadly, launching a frenzied attack on the police officers.
