Chapter 175: Mobilize All Forces, Succeed or Die Trying!

This operation was supposed to be a sure win. Wu Mingyu had even estimated an 80% chance of capturing Wang Yun. However, not only did they fail to catch him, they also lost sixteen program officers.

Wang Yue returned with a pale face, overwhelmed with guilt. This was her first time leading a team, and it ended not only without success but with heavy losses.

Upon returning to the program inspection headquarters, the news of their failure spread to other countries.

Japan and Spain, who had already formed an alliance, seemed to especially relish in their misfortune. Previously, it was their countries that suffered losses. Now, seeing others fall victim to Wang Yun’s machinations brought them a perverse sense of relief and balance. Otherwise, their own people would keep ridiculing them in the livestream, criticizing them for being ineffective and problematic.

“It’s okay, Wang Yun is very cunning. No one expected him to actually sacrifice his own men. You can’t blame yourself for that,” Wu Mingyu comforted Wang Yue, who was visibly distraught.

Frankly, he was also comforting himself.

His words were meant for everyone to hear.

Since arriving in Xiyun City, they had faced continuous setbacks. Other than capturing some of Wang Yun’s former subordinates, they had achieved nothing.

“Search the mountain! This time, I’ll deploy all available resources,” Wang Yue declared with determination. “I guarantee Wang Yun is still up there.”

As Wang Yue spoke, her eyes burned with indignation and fury. She was determined to personally avenge the harm inflicted by Wang Yun. Her comrades’ sacrifices couldn’t just be in vain.

“Hmm?” Ying Yuezi perked up at Wang Yue’s words, her gaze intense and focused.

Wang Yue continued, “Before we approached the mountain, I had a full team stationed at every entrance and exit at the base. We also installed cameras temporarily. When we reached Wang Yun’s villa, there was an opened bottle of red wine on the table. Based on the sediment and color of the wine, it had just been opened. That means Wang Yun and the person who attacked us must have left the villa no more than half an hour before we arrived. The man was monitoring us closely and wasn’t familiar with the mountain when he ran. This means he didn’t have time to prepare and scout the routes in advance. Furthermore, so far, no one has entered or exited that wilderness area. I’ve had the entire mountain sealed off.”

Hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up.

“Great! If that’s the case, let’s gather all our inspectors and set out now,” Kolyev immediately agreed.

Ying Yuezi also nodded slightly, “Okay, inform everyone to prepare thoroughly. Mobilize all resources. Drones, helicopters, everything. Additionally, each person should wear at least two bulletproof vests.”

After Ying Yuezi finished, everyone quickly began their preparations.

For them, it was do or die in their pursuit to capture Wang Yun.

In the live broadcast room, Mr. Fang watched the actions of the Chinese and Indian teams with full anticipation.

“This time, Wang Yun really has these captains cornered. Human bomb and hypnosis. Can’t believe he went that far. While the program inspectors paid a heavy price, it’s fortunate their suspicions were correct. Wang Yun is indeed still on the mountain. I wonder what kind of counterattack he’ll mount. Now, I’m truly eager to catch him quickly and make him mine.”

Initially, the audience watching the live broadcast nodded in agreement with Mr. Fang’s words. However, upon hearing his final remark, they were rendered speechless.

It seemed Mr. Fang was quite eager to arrest Wang Yun, then turn him into one of his own. This was a classic move in his style.

4:36 PM on the mountain.

“Brother Yun, there has been constant surveillance at the foot of the mountain,” Glasses reported, panting as he ran up the mountain. “My brothers and I checked all around, all possible escape routes are being watched.”

At that moment, Wang Yun and the others were casually enjoying a self-heating hotpot.

Despite the less-than-ideal conditions, having such food in the jungle was still quite satisfying.

Wang Yun nodded, taking a piece of meat and placing it into his mouth.

Glasses saw that despite the situation, Brother Yun was completely unfazed. This left him momentarily furrowing his brow in worry.

“Why the worry, Glasses? If Brother Yun isn’t scared, what’s there to fear? Worst comes to worst, we’ll just have to fight them,” Fist said as he approached Glasses.

Glasses glanced at Fist and then around at the others. More than thirty people were present, all eating. To say they weren’t worried would be a lie, but with their leader’s composure, they felt reassured enough to suppress their anxiety.

“Let’s eat for now. Later, I’ll give out masks,” Wang Yun announced.

“Masks?” Glasses asked, slightly taken aback.

Wang Yun nodded affirmatively. “Xiao Fang brought me a lot of materials yesterday, and I spent last night making masks. Each person gets one, designed to look like the program inspectors from the Chinese team.”

With that said, Wang Yun stopped explaining and dumped the self-heating rice into the hot pot. Rice with hot pot made for a comforting meal.

Hearing Wang Yun’s words, Glasses, Fist, and the others immediately grasped his plan.

Today’s search party had been the Chinese program inspectors, and they were likely to continue tonight. By donning these inspectors’ masks, they could stealthily infiltrate their ranks, potentially setting the stage for a devastating counterattack.

With this realization, the idea of not just escaping the mountain but boldly strolling down the main streets seemed not just possible but probable.

Buoyed by these thoughts, morale soared among the group. They eagerly shoveled rice into their mouths, mentally gearing up for tonight’s inevitable confrontation.

Summer nights were slow to arrive, but as darkness finally set in, the air cooled. The mountain’s natural chill was a relief, and the absence of light was noticeable. They dared not use any artificial lighting, choosing instead to gather on the rocks, bathed in moonlight.

In contrast to the quiet of the surrounding woods, their spirits were fiery with anticipation.

Just then, a rustling noise from the nearby brush caught their attention.

“Boss, I just scoped it out with the binoculars. There’s a large cluster of lights at the base of the mountain,” Glasses whispered, his voice notably subdued. “I didn’t dare to look too closely, but it looks like there are hundreds of people.”

Wang Yun, donning a mask that bore an uncanny resemblance to Wang Yue’s face, appeared utterly composed. Even Glasses, standing right before him, felt a shiver down his spine from the realistic likeness. The mask captured not only Wang Yue’s facial features but also her expressions and mannerisms. Down to the voice itself.

“Are all the bombs and mechanisms set up? Did you scatter the stuff I gave you around?” Wang Yun asked.

He was concerned about police dogs sniffing out the hidden explosives, so he had prepared a special powder to confuse the dogs’ sense of smell. It was already vetted by the production team.

Glasses nodded, “All ready, Brother Yun. You really have a knack for this. I even caught a faint sound of dogs barking just now, and they’ve brought in a helicopter this time. They’re coming in strong.”
