Chapter 1678: Chapter 844: Suspicious Background

Hearing this, Lin Beichen thought of that huge door. Back then the special ops team leader said the door had been locked from the inside and wouldn’t open no matter what. At the time he’d thought, since the situation was serious, they should deal with what was in front of them first.

Looks like there really were some oversights in this battle.

"By now I’m sure the boss has been taken down, and those terrorists have all been killed by you guys, but those executives will definitely try every possible way to escape."

Escape?

The moment this word came out, the atmosphere tightened instantly.

"So from now on, we have to hurry up and regroup the team, make sure those people can’t get away, right?"

"Right!"

In fact, the waiter’s thinking was simple. He just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible—he’d been under pressure for too long, and he still hadn’t gotten any money.

"But I still want protection. First of all, my old mother is at home all the time—you should understand what I mean by that."

Since it wasn’t convenient to spell things out now, he could only hint at it indirectly.

"I get what you’re saying. In that case, we have to race against time, or the consequences will be unthinkable. Immediately dispatch Special Ops Team Four over there, figure out the situation first."

The leader of Special Ops Team Four was a rookie. After receiving the order, he immediately assembled his men and rushed to the scene. When they entered the hotel kitchen area, they found that the door was inexplicably open.

"Report! We did find that door open, and people have been coming and going around here regularly."

When Lin Beichen heard this, he instantly understood.

"I need you to do one thing now: first, hold this big door. At the same time, I need someone on the other side to cut off their route."

That way, any attempt to run would be meaningless. They could even have these people under control as soon as they showed up at the sea exit.

The core of the problem right now could even trigger something more insane, and that was completely unacceptable.

Sure enough, at that moment, the special ops team pushed their recon up halfway up the mountain and found a huge cave.

Below the cave was a large spiral staircase.

One of the team members immediately went down on a rope and discovered this was the only little stretch of shoreline you could use to land.

And there was absolutely nowhere to hide here. Once anyone came down, they’d be spotted immediately.

"I get it. This cave mouth is actually the key to their escape route. If we block this place, then no one will ever be able to get out. That’s what you call ’one man holds the pass, ten thousand cannot get through.’ That’s exactly how I’m thinking about it."

Lin Beichen listened.

"This is a good opportunity. We need to move on it right now."

So Special Ops Team Four all went into action, moving to both sides of the big cave, picking good cover positions and quietly getting ready.

Of course, they also had one person waiting right at the door for anyone trying to flee.

What they didn’t expect was that two men actually slunk their way to the door of that room behind the kitchen.

"Move it, we can’t stay here. If we stick around any longer, we’re gonna end up as cannon fodder."

"Exactly. The boss has done so many heinous things, and now he’s gone down himself. You know we’re gonna get dragged down with him."

These two weren’t core members at all; it was what they’d been through before that had scared the life out of them.

They pushed open the big door and walked straight in. But just as they were about to reach the cave mouth, they were blocked by members of Team Four.

"Don’t move!"

The two of them turned pale on the spot. What the hell? Wasn’t this supposed to be a secret passage? How had these people found it?

"We’re from the special ops team. This time we need you to cooperate with an investigation. Relax, we’re not here to interrogate you."

The two were immediately put on a helicopter and sent to the relevant department.

When the door opened, the two of them were stunned—the waiter was actually here.

The special ops guys first unlocked the waiter’s handcuffs. He stepped forward, studied the two men carefully, then nodded.

"These two are indeed internal core members. I didn’t expect them to come out this late. One of them even works on explosives—the high-yield bomb was made by him. I remember him saying that once this bomb goes off, it’ll cause devastating damage, with a blast radius not much less than a small atomic bomb."

As soon as he said this, everyone understood. There was no need to hear anything more from them—these two no longer had any say.

"Alright, the follow-up interrogation will be handed over to Lin Beichen. I’m going to deal with other matters."

The team leader looked at everything in front of him and felt the follow-up should be left to professionals.

Lin Beichen got what the leader meant.

"I think the situation with the bomb is basically clear now. Next is the capture operation. But the key question is: who dug that big cave?"

From the footage returned from the scene, that cave didn’t look man-made at all, and it seemed very ancient.

"Here’s what we’ll do: I order Special Ops Team One to send someone into the cave to see what’s really going on."

Lin Beichen issued another order.

"Yes, sir!"

One man strode into the cave and found that the situation inside was far more complicated than he’d imagined.

"Oh my God, this place isn’t naturally formed. Looks like it’s been here since ancient times..."

The team member examined it carefully, then looked around in shock.

"My God, which leader pulled this idiotic stunt? This used to be a historical scenic site—how could they turn it into a resort?"

A historical scenic site?

Everyone was stunned when they heard that.
