Chapter 137: No Mercy, Kill on Sight

Chapter 137 Show No Mercy

Hearing Bai Zeshao's promise, Shi Zhichao was slightly taken aback. However, he did not refuse, but instead smiled and said, "Little Bai, you're being too polite. The Grand View Restaurant, the Rose Dance Hall—that's spending way too much. Any random place will do."

"It's fine. The brothers have been working hard following me, haven't they?" Bai Zeshao said casually, before turning serious again. "However, Brother Shi, there are still four locations left. Could you please ask the brothers to push a little harder?"

"That's no problem. But Little Bai, you seem quite anxious. With the scale of our operations all morning, the guys at the Party Affairs Bureau aren't fools; they must have received word by now. If things keep going this way, the people might already be gone by the time we reach the remaining four locations," Shi Zhichao said with some concern.

"That's precisely what worries me. Just waiting for the police to take over custody of those people from the Party Affairs Bureau takes up a significant amount of time," Bai Zeshao sighed, frowning.

Shi Zhichao did not speak further, awaiting Bai Zeshao's decision. After all, he was merely following orders today; he had said everything he needed to say, and the rest was up to Bai Zeshao.

A moment later, Bai Zeshao said to Shi Zhichao, "Brother Shi, when we breach the surveillance posts shortly, tell the brothers to hold nothing back."

"Little Bai, you mean..." Shi Zhichao looked at Bai Zeshao uncertainly.

"I mean no prisoners. Tell the brothers to wipe them out completely. I don't want any live captives. There are only four words: show no mercy. I only want to secure the surveillance logs, and nothing else matters, but we must act fast," Bai Zeshao said ruthlessly.

"Little Bai, are you certain you want to do this?" Shi Zhichao had not expected Bai Zeshao to resort to such ruthless methods. If they did this, they would completely and thoroughly offend the Party Affairs Bureau.

When that time came, the retaliation from the Party Affairs Bureau would not be something they could simply brush off.

"I am certain. I just need to break through the remaining four locations in the shortest time possible," Bai Zeshao nodded heavily.

"Very well, I'll go inform the brothers."

Not long after, the motorcade arrived at the seventh surveillance point. With Bai Zeshao's order, the special agents of the Special Service Office had no reservations or restraints. Right from the start, they launched a heavy weapon assault, and after a single round of attacks, everyone inside was dead.

Although the scene was somewhat chaotic, the time spent was drastically reduced.

In the blink of an eye, three more locations were wiped out by Bai Zeshao and his men, leaving only the final surveillance point—the one outside Qian Yihai's apartment.

Looking at the surveillance point before him, Bai Zeshao finally let out a sigh of relief. "Brother Shi, once we take this location, today's mission can be considered a complete success."

"Indeed," Shi Zhichao also broke into a smile.

At that moment, as Bai Zeshao peered through his binoculars at the surveillance post ahead, he suddenly said, "Something's wrong. Tell the brothers to speed up and surround this building for me!"

"No problem!"

Soon, the men from the Special Service Office surrounded the surveillance post outside Qian Yihai's home. Bai Zeshao was the first to rush inside, but unfortunately, the place was already deserted.

Looking at the empty rooms, Bai Zeshao cursed with a gloomy expression and began to inspect the scene. When he saw the paper ash in the wastebasket and the teacups on the table that were still radiating heat, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He turned to Shi Zhichao and said, "Brother Shi, tell the brothers to use this building as the center and search a one-kilometer radius. Those bastards from the Party Affairs Bureau just left, and the outer perimeter has already been surrounded by the police. They can't have gone far."

Bai Zeshao was not surprised that the Party Affairs Bureau had gotten wind of the situation; in fact, he felt that their actions today had been rather sluggish, only pulling back when Bai Zeshao's team stormed the final surveillance point, which clearly indicated severe delays in their intelligence transmission.

Hearing this, Shi Zhichao quickly mobilized the guards to take action.

Bai Zeshao did not stay idle either. After exchanging a word with Shi Zhichao, he took two guards and joined the searching troops.

Bang! Bang!

The guards spread out, and soon gunshots rang out—one after another. With every shot fired, another man from the Party Affairs Bureau fell to the ground.

Bai Zeshao and the two special service operatives also spotted two agents from the Party Affairs Bureau. After a brief firefight, they gunned down both opponents at the cost of one slight injury to their own man.

One of the guards picked up a black briefcase from the dead bodies on the ground, pulled out the contents, flipped through them briefly, and then handed them to Bai Zeshao. "Team Leader Bai, this is the surveillance log you wanted."

After taking it, Bai Zeshao began to flip through the pages, but as he read, a wave of alarm washed over him. The records actually contained tracking details of Sister Wang, with the word "suspicious" marked right next to it.

Although it had not been conclusively proven yet, based solely on that single word "suspicious," once this surveillance log leaked out, it would inevitably attract the attention of interested parties, and Sister Wang would be exposed.

At this thought, Bai Zeshao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief that this document had fallen into his hands. However, as his gaze swept across the guard who had just flipped through the surveillance log, a murderous intent flashed deep within his eyes.

Although the man had only glanced through it briefly, Bai Zeshao could not be certain how much the guard had actually remembered—especially since Sister Wang's record was right on the first page, and the two words "suspicious" had been specifically highlighted in red ink.

Listening to the gunfire gradually thinning out, Bai Zeshao knew that the operation to wipe out the Party Affairs Bureau remnants was about to end. Hardening his heart, Bai Zeshao made his decision.

He said to the guard who had looked at the log, "You and this injured brother go search the left side. I'll take this side alone."

"Team Leader Bai, we should still stick together."

"No need. The two of you go together; I can manage by myself. Alright, no more discussion, get moving," Bai Zeshao said decisively.

"Very well, please be careful, Team Leader Bai." With that, the two guards walked toward the left.

Standing in place, Bai Zeshao did not head toward the right. Instead, he raised his pistol, aimed it at the guards walking away to the left, and gently pulled the trigger.

Bang! Bang!

Bai Zeshao's marksmanship was extremely precise. Following two consecutive shots, bullets pierced the heads of the two guards, and they slowly collapsed to the ground.

Their eyes were filled with incomprehension and lingering resentment; they had no idea why they had been attacked, but unfortunately, they would never get an explanation.

After confirming that the two guards were completely dead, Bai Zeshao tore out the page of the surveillance log mentioning Sister Wang and swallowed it. Then, he raised his gun once more and shot himself twice in the arm, grimacing in pain as a wave of agony washed over him.

Yet, to make the act convincing, he had no other choice. Even amidst a fierce firefight where both sides suffered two casualties, it would be impossible for him to emerge completely unscathed.

"Little Bai, are you alright?" Just as Bai Zeshao lowered his gun, Shi Zhichao rushed over with his men.
