Chapter 3276: Sudden Changes (17)
The call was quickly connected. Snow Fox spoke, “Boss, I’ve been tracking them all the way. I’ve intercepted the Hurricane Group’s cargo ship at the port of Vidoman, but the cargo rooms are all locked. Please issue a search warrant…”
“Snow Fox, withdraw the team.”
Snow Fox was stunned. “What?!”
“Withdraw your troops and leave the port at once!”
Snow Fox held the satellite phone and turned her head with a cold expression. She saw Gong Jie leaning on the side with his arms crossed. His calm expression did not change at all.
She turned back, now facing away from Gong Jie, and said in a low voice, “Boss, we had been pursuing the Hurricane Group’s freighter day and night to finally catch up. I can confirm that the freighter is carrying a huge load of military firearms. Why can’t you issue a search warrant?”
“I have given the order to retreat. If you disobey, you will face special punishment.”
A cold glint flashed across Snow Fox’s eyes as she tried to receover from the unpleasant surprise.
She put down the satellite phone and turned around. Jack went up to her and asked in confusion, “When is Boss going to issue a search warrant?”
“Jack.” Snow Fox bit her lips and said in a low voice, “Withdraw the team.”
“Withdraw!?”
It took Jack a while to react. He frowned as he watched Gong Jie playing with the gun expressionlessly. He leaned closer and whispered, “Snow Fox, what do you mean by this? What did Boss say? Withdraw, why withdraw…”
“Boss said to withdraw.” Snow Fox suppressed her anger and instructed, “Jack, withdraw immediately and return to headquarters.”
Jack felt a chill in his heart.
He was somewhat angry as he said in a lowered voice, “Boss is clearly protecting the criminal! Shielding him! I will not allow him to do this!”
“This is the Boss’ order. Without a search warrant, we have no right to arrest him.”
Jack glanced at Gong Jie in surprise as he made a few guesses. “Don’t you feel indignant about leaving just like that?”
Snow Fox sneered, “Even so, there’s nothing we can do. Jack, this is an order from our superiors.”
Standing beside Gong Jie, Youyou looked at Snow Fox and Jack, who were trying to suppress their anger, and his lips curled up slightly. “Uncle, how did you do that?”
Gong Jie replied, “Even if it’s the Interpol, they wouldn’t dare to mess with the Hurricane Group. After all, if anything happens to me, my father’s not going to sit back and do nothing. Blowing up their headquarters is a small matter, but if it affects their families, the gains won’t make up for the losses.”
“If that’s the case, why did this woman pursue you so relentlessly? She was going all out to have you arrested.”
“Because she’s naïve and is too idealistic about justice.”
“She looks like she hates you.”
Youyou asked half-jokingly, “Uncle, are you bullying her?”
“Her codename is Snow Fox. She is the newly appointed anti-terrorist inspector of Interpol.”
The man continued, “When I first started out handling the Group’s business, she was but one of the police officers. She was orphaned not long after she was born, her parents having died in the flames of war. Therefore, she has a deep seated hatred for the military firearms business. In the process of hunting me down, her team had a crossfire with my mercenary corps. She was the only survivor of a team of dozens of people.”
“How tragic.”
Youyou’s lips twitched. “No wonder she hates you so much. When she looks at you, it’s as if she can’t wait to rip you apart.”
“There are so many people that hate me to the bone. If she wishes to rip me apart, she first needs to be capable of doing that.”
