As they moved forward, another cylindrical object rolled off the floor.

"Watch out for the flashbang!"

"Bang!"

With experience, Gao Bo and Wu Kang dodged swiftly. As gunfire erupted ahead, accompanied by the sound of shattering glass, when Gao Bo looked up again, he caught sight of a figure disappearing into the tunnel.

"Those two Americans are running!"

"Thud thud," a two-round burst fired at them, unsure if it hit.

"Forget about them! Rescue first!!"

Gu Ji knew the DIA’s main objective wasn’t to engage in a deadly fight with the police, or they wouldn’t resort to non-lethal weapons like flashbangs. Their target wasn’t the DIA, but Jian Na and her family, "Quick! Quick! Strong deployment!"

As he urged them, three moved forward, two in front, one at the back, with their guns aimed left, center, and right, running rapidly.

Strong deployment often occurs when time is tight, like right now, where sweeping operations have ended. To ensure HVT integrity, they advance with the fastest speed under tactical suppression.

As the three moved.

A Liangben thug groaned, trying to get up, but before he could lift his head, a single shot hit his head, instantly bruising his forehead, knocking him unconscious. The other nearby didn’t "escape," also getting a rubber bullet "headhshot."

Gao Bo and Wu Kang both flinched.

It was naturally Gu Ji who shot behind them.

"Keep pressing! Quick! I’ll handle the threat!"

"Yes!"

In fact, they weren’t afraid of the thugs retaliating, hesitant to advance. On the contrary, they were startled by Gu Ji’s rapid follow-up shots.

Even back during university exercises, Gao Bo had seen this behavior of his.

But he didn’t expect it had become Gu Ji’s instinct by now.

As special forces, they all knew that in Xia Kingdom’s arrest operations, following up with shots is controversial, especially now performing tasks in a foreign country. If Japanese police witnessed this...

Arriving in front of the HVT.

Gu Ji kicked away the handguns from the two "headshot" thugs, confiscating and destroying the weapons, "Gao Bo, Wu Kang, immediately identify the HVT!"

"Understood! We are police under Xia Kingdom’s international collaboration, here to rescue you. You are now safe, please place your hands where I can see them. I need to verify your identity!"

Gao Bo disengaged the safety, put down the MP5A5, and approached the middle-aged woman curled up under the seat.

Meanwhile, Wu Kang maintained a low stance with his weapon, finger pre-tensing the trigger, preventing unexpected events.

"Thank you, People’s Police, thank you..."

Upon hearing the Xia Kingdom language, the middle-aged woman couldn’t hold back her emotions any longer, bursting into tears.

Gao Bo helped her up, checking her face and features.

Perhaps due to nearly a month of being smuggled and restricted in movement, the middle-aged woman appeared unusually haggard.

Though there was some disparity with the photo in the file, her facial features and distinct moles confirmed she was the victim of the September 17 case, Jian Na’s mother: Liu Meiling.

"Target confirmed!"

"There’s movement behind! Click! Click!"

No sooner had Gao Bo spoken, Gu Ji, on guard, clicked the tactical light twice.

Because he heard someone approaching from outside the carriage, after team recognition, there was responsive flashing from outside too. Soon, Chen Zhiyu and SAT commandos rushed in.

When they saw inside the subway, they were all momentarily stunned.

The carriage was riddled with bullet holes, seats punched with openings, handrails bent by gunfire, glass shards were everywhere, and several thugs tied to the bars.

Most striking were Gu Ji and his two companions, along with the four Liangben thugs at their feet.

Nagatani Shouhei was secretly startled.

He didn’t expect these young Xia Kingdom police to react so astutely. From the moment the flashbang was thrown, station chaos erupted, to the gunmen storming into the carriage, it all happened within two or three seconds. Yet, they could respond swiftly and intercept the HVT amidst enemy fire.

As one of the SAT operation team leaders, he knew this required solid shooting fundamentals, more importantly, command and combat skills, especially rapid response combat.

Shi Zhengmin noticed beneath Gu Ji’s feet, the two Liangben underlings with bruised, bleeding scalps, swollen like buns. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The saying goes two shots to the body, one to the head, even King Yama would frown.

Anyone with eyes could tell Gu Ji used the Mozambique shooting skill, or rather...

A habitual follow-up shot!

Fortunately, neither Nagatani Shouhei nor Jingshang Gaoming said anything.

"HVT identity confirmed, Liu Meiling from the 9.17 case!"

"You all did exceptionally well!"

Zeng Dan couldn’t help but praise excitedly.

But before she could reach Liu Meiling, gunfire echoed outside the train, Gu Ji quickly approached the shattered window, "Jian Na is still with Liangben, they and the two Americans fled into the subway tunnel. I suggest Tokyo Underground authorities immediately seal the Rokkai Station tunnel, trap them inside! Gao Bo, Wu Kang, follow me into the tunnel!"

"Yes!"

"Wait, did you say Americans?"

"Yes, earlier, two Americans chased Liangben into the subway carriage. The attack on the station platform was by them, seemingly targeting Liangben. Unknown if it’s gang revenge."

Wu Kang clearly considered another angle.

Though it’s understandable.

Nobody would have guessed that a gang feud would involve intelligence agencies from three major world powers: Xia Kingdom, United States, and Japan.
