Chapter 65 Digging and Digging (Requesting Monthly Votes)
On the third floor of "Fabric Nightclub,", when "Blood Dagger" Bet Aiken entered the Presidential Suite, he felt extremely lousy.
Cursing inwardly, Aiken thought, "Damn Jack! Damn Lin Rui! Damn Tiana! Damn, damn, they all tmd deserve to die!"
Tiana was his sister-in-law, the wife of "Iron Fist King" Wang Li.
That very morning, the foolish Tiana had actually ordered "Gold Tooth" Jack to attack the siblings Lin Rui and Lin Xi on the ring expressway.
This foolish, reckless, and arrogant act brought great disaster and loss to their Blood Lizard Gang.
The Ninth Base City government classified the incident as a terrorist attack, and tonight the chief of the East District Police Station called in twenty federal operation teams, three regular federal marine corps, and two battalions of the armed police from the East Asian Republic, sweeping through the entire eastern district's streets and alleys under the guise of a gang-crackdown and anti-terrorism operation in collaboration with the military and the police.
All the businesses under the Blood Lizard Gang became prime targets of the military and police's crackdown.
This action caught them completely off guard; before the event, the gang's top brass hadn't received any intelligence, and the networks the Blood Lizard Gang operated through all failed them.
As a result, the Blood Lizard Gang suffered heavy losses; during the military and police search, they not only lost a large amount of money and materials, but also had more than 180 people shot dead by the military and police, and over 600 taken away in handcuffs, nearly half of whom may end up convicted and imprisoned.
What infuriated "Blood Dagger" Aiken even more was that the two drug storage warehouses he managed on behalf of the Iron Fist King were also swept by the police, with the lost goods valued at 90 million federal coins.
"Blood Dagger" Aiken was sure there was a rat within their ranks, so as soon as the police finished their sweep, he summoned all the personnel who had access to the two drug storage warehouses, attempting to root out the traitor. Unfortunately, he has yet to find the bastard who betrayed the gang and was covertly serving others.
And all of this stemmed from that reckless, damned move by sister-in-law Tiana and "Gold Tooth" Jack on the ring expressway this morning.
If "Gold Tooth" Jack had managed to kill those siblings, it would have at least demonstrated their Blood Lizard Gang's might. Instead, they suffered a brutal defeat, with Jack and his men nearly completely wiped out, and "Gold Tooth" Jack himself dying under police gunfire.
"Blood Dagger" Aiken felt a hint of regret; he really should have persuaded his sister-in-law otherwise.
If he had given her a stern warning yesterday, today's events might not have happened.
When he returned yesterday, he also couldn't accurately judge the severity of the situation.
At that time, Aiken only felt that Lin Rui might be troublesome, as the people of Longze Road police substation didn't hesitate to side with the Lin siblings, even forcibly driving him out of the police station, which suggested that this person had an extraordinary background.
However, he never imagined that the power behind Lin Rui was so strong that it could prompt the Ninth Base's government leadership to join forces with the military for such a massive anti-gang anti-terrorism operation on behalf of the Lin siblings.
Clearly, this power had connections that reached the skies!
"Damn it, it's really infuriating!"
Aiken cursed Lin Rui, cursed his sister-in-law, and even cursed himself.
As Aiken looked at Tiana's body, his heart felt icy cold.
The reason Aiken was able to kill Tiana was not that his shooting was exceptional just now, but because Tiana Higgins herself had issues. Her gait was staggering and unstable, unable to execute any effective block or dodge.
Tiana was also a Captain-level Martial Artist. Although her combat capabilities were not great, she was not so easy to kill.
Aiken clenched his teeth.
He was certain he had been poisoned, likely by an extremely potent anesthetic. The issue was when he had been poisoned because he hadn't perceived anything out of the ordinary before that.
He immediately opened the gang's chat group, only to find that the internal network of the nightclub was down.
Just then, Aiken heard a burst of gunfire from outside the suite, which made his pupils contract to pinpoints.
And just two minutes before the gunfire, a sleek black figure forcefully burst through the window of the eighth floor of the building.
This was Police Superintendent Xue Lingxue, who was now wearing an extremely form-fitting black exoskeleton battle armor, her head covered with a closed tactical helmet.
However, when she stood alert with twin blades in hand, her expression became slightly startled.
Xue Lingxue noticed that the door to the surveillance room was wide open, with several members of the Blood Lizard Gang sprawled inside—either throats slit or necks completely severed, all killed with a single blade.
The various equipment inside the surveillance room was also destroyed, unable to function properly.
Xue Lingxue narrowed her willow eyebrows and continued walking forward.
She then encountered several more bodies, their death similar to the previous ones. Judging from the wounds, the killer's knife skills were profound, and the killing strikes were swift and decisive.
There were also some servers and fashionably dressed women, all cowering in corners, shivering with fear.
Xue Lingxue noticed a notification inside her tactical helmet. Her battle armor detected the presence of a synthetic anesthetic in the air. Stay tuned for updates on empire
It contained elements of propofol, lidocaine, and carfentanil, mixed with liver oil from the red pufferfish, making the anesthetic nearly colorless and odorless when diluted to a certain extent. It formed a unique aerosol that blended into the air, making it more readily absorbed by the human body.
Thus, the members of the Blood Lizard Gang inside the building were basically all affected, their senses and reactions dulled, losing most of their combat ability. Judging from the combat traces, they were also incapable of mounting a proper resistance.
Right then, Xue Lingxue heard a burst of gunfire. With a grave look in her eyes, she quickened her pace following the sound to the hallway of the fourth floor of the building.
As Xue Lingxue descended the steps, she heard a clear voice singing a nursery rhyme, "Digging in the tiny garden, dig and dig and dig, planting tiny seeds to bloom little flowers; in the big garden digging, dig and dig and dig—"
Xue Lingxue narrowed her eyes, pondering that the person singing must be the killer who used the anesthetic. Who could this person be?
