Chapter 598: Seizing the Gambling Den-2
Chapter 598: Seizing the Gambling Den-2
"There are many people, but few guards. From what I've observed, there are at most ten guards on each floor, and they're fairly mediocre."
"But those ten could still be difficult to deal with. Even though there aren't many of them, the presence of civilians might prevent us from taking them down quickly without risking harm to innocents."
"You don't need to worry about that. Someone else will handle the people on the first and second floors. Our focus will be on the next three floors. The third and fourth floors are VIP zones with fewer civilians but more guards. We must be especially careful in these two zones. We can't afford to harm any VIPs, so I need everyone to proceed with extreme caution. Try to take down as many guards as possible without alerting others. Understood?"
"Understood, Sir."
"But Sir, taking down these guards without alerting the others will be extremely challenging. We might manage to neutralize one or two quietly, but not all of them. From my observations, there are ten guards on the third floor and eight on the fourth. It's nearly impossible not to alert them."
"It's not entirely impossible. The VIP rooms are soundproof, so those inside won't hear us. First, clear the guards outside the VIP rooms. Also, I've reviewed the earlier footage. Each VIP room has two or three bodyguards inside, so even if we raise an alarm, they'll be able to hold off the enemies for a minute or two. During that time, you must take down the guards."
"Understood, Sir."
"Captains 1 and 2, you will lead your teams to clear the third floor. Captains 3 and 4, take the fourth floor. Captain 5 will follow me to the fifth floor."
"Understood, Sir."
"But Sir, shouldn't you take more people to the fifth floor? That appears to be the VVIP zone, so it likely has more guards. Additionally, unlike the lower floors, there are no surveillance cameras on the fifth floor, so we're uncertain about the situation up there. I recommend we clear the lower floors before heading up," one officer advised.
Shaking her head, Sia replied, "We don't have enough time. We need to secure the three floors simultaneously before the enemies are alerted. Don't worry; Team 5 and I can handle the fifth floor. Since the situation is unclear, it's better to go with fewer people. Alright, we don't have much time. Arm yourselves and put on your masks. We're going in now."
"Yes, Sir."
Once assembled, Sia met with two officers who had been waiting with the two guns she'd requested. After giving them some orders, she instructed them to join Teams 3 and 4 to help clear the enemies.
Upon receiving a signal, she gave the command, "Officers, put on your masks and get ready. We're about to charge."
"Yes, Sir."
"Team 5, follow me. The rest of you will charge on my signal." Sia commanded coldly
"Yes, Sir." The team of police officers following behind obliged obediently
After the second signal, Sia motioned to the people behind her and immediately charged toward the entrance of the gambling den. In no time, she subdued the guards at the entrance and detained the people who were about to enter, pushing them inside the building.
Then, she turned to two officers and said, "Change into their clothes and guard the entrance. Don't let anyone else in, in case anyone from outside appears, tell them the gambling house is closed/ Say it was ordered by your boss as a VVIP is visiting them. In short, don't let anyone in and don't let anyone doubt you. Understood?" Sia asked seriously
"Yes, Sir." The officer saluted and answered firmly
After giving further instructions to the two officer, she signalled the other four teams to enter the building before proceeding in herself.
Inside, she observed that everyone on the first and second floors was already on the ground, unconscious, including the guards. She did not have to think too much as it was not hard to guess whose doing it was. When she was done with this case, she had to remind her assistant to reward them handsomely.
Behind her, the four teams who had followed her were also slightly stunned. Even though Sia had already informed them that they did not have to worry about the first and second floor, they were still skeptical and were prepared to expend some energy to deal with the first two floors. But the scene in front absolutely left them stunned. They could not believe their eyes, and at the same time they were also curious about how Sia took care of them.
But that was just their thought as no one dared to question their superior. While people's mind was running wild, Sia was busy assessing the situation and paid no heed to what her minions thought.
Nodding to the captain, she and her team rushed to the stairs and headed to the fifth floor.
Opening the door slightly, she quietly observed the corridor. Seeing only two guards at the door, she pulled the door open and shot them both without hesitation. Before they could react, the guards were already lying dead on the floor.
The officers behind her, witnessing Sia in action, were stunned, almost wondering if they were hallucinating.
Without giving them time to process, Sia moved forward, gesturing for them to follow closely.
One by one, they watched as Sia moved like a ghost, silently taking down each guard she encountered.
They observed as Sia cleared the floor, rescued a VIP, and even took down the boss of the gambling den. From start to finish, the officers hadn't fired a single shot. All they did was follow Sia, guns raised.
Once the boss was subdued, Sia didn't waste time. She pressed the cold muzzle of her gun against his temple and asked in a chilling tone, "I don't like games. If you want to leave here in one piece, answer my questions. Otherwise... try me."
Seeing the boss nod in terror, Sia asked, "Where is your secret base? Where's the entrance?"
"It's... it's underground, one level below the ground floor." The boss responded hurriedly
"How many entrances are there to your base?" Sia asked again
"Two... there are two entrances."
"Where are they?"
"One is in the back alley, and the other is in the backyard."
