Chapter 7 Factional Forces
As the elite division of the Investigation Department, the Special Operations Division enjoyed ample training resources and excellent benefits, often looking down on other departments.
They harbored a sense of superiority, believing their capabilities far surpassed those of ordinary agents like Qiu Tu. This was why, during the initial attack, they had instructed Qiu Tu to take cover while they dealt with the enemies.
However, the turn of events was entirely unexpected. Their extensive training proved ineffective in actual combat, resulting in only minor injuries to a few extremists after dozens of shots.
Meanwhile, Qiu Tu, the ordinary agent they had looked down upon, had stepped up, taking out two enemies with ease and single-handedly repelling the attack.
This left the Special Operations Division agents questioning their abilities and viewing Qiu Tu with newfound respect.
Qiu Tu noticed the shift in atmosphere but remained composed. He calmly engaged the safety on his gun, tucked it back into his waistband, and reminded everyone, "Don't let your guard down. Be cautious of a second attack."
He then turned to Fang Ming, "Agent Fang, perhaps you should contact the Director and report the situation. We might need the involvement of the Political Division or the Security Section."
Fang Ming nodded in agreement, realizing the danger wasn't over. The agents quickly divided tasks, some standing guard, others protecting Qin Shuman, and some climbing to the rooftops to check for traces.
Meanwhile, Fang Ming took out his communicator to report to Yan Chen.
As the Special Operations Division agents spread out, a commotion erupted at the end of the street.
"Brother Tu! Brother Tu!"
"Quick! Quick!"
"Here! Here!"
About a dozen agents in disheveled uniforms rushed from the western corner, holding worn-out batons.
Leading them was a particularly strong agent, standing at 1.9 meters tall, with a bear-like physique and muscular arms as thick as an average person's thigh, projecting an intimidating presence.
Unlike the other agents wielding batons, he held a fist-sized iron hammer, his gaze fierce and murderous. If not for his tightly stretched uniform, he would resemble a blood-stained thug.
A Tai nodded, signaling to an agent with a hooked nose, "Eagle."
Eagle reached into his coat and pulled out a heavy cloth bag, handing it to Qiu Tu. Inside, the bag clinked with a metallic sound.
Qiu Tu checked the contents and, satisfied, put the bag into his coat.
He patted A Tai's shoulder, quietly giving instructions while A Tai nodded, frowning as he listened.
Their exchange, though brief, had significant implications. By the time the Special Operations Division agents looked over, Qiu Tu was already leading the temporary agents to find Fang Ming.
No one knew that Qiu Tu scheduled a lot during the brief talk.
When they found Fang Ming, he just ended his call.
Seeing Qiu Tu approach, Fang Ming spoke first, "Agent Qiu, perfect timing. I was to look for you. I just spoke with the Director. He’s furious about the RUF attack and has ordered the Political Division to join the Special Operations Division in a joint operation to purge the RUF from New Realm City."
"Due to the current chaos, he has ordered you and Miss Qin to return to the city villa immediately."
Qiu Tu glanced at the countdown in the upper left of his vision while hearing this.
[3:28:12]
The countdown hadn’t changed, suggesting Yan Chen didn’t plan to interrogate them early but merely prevented them from going to Cross Street.
If it were before the shootout, this change might have caused a headache to Qiu Tu. But now...
"Alright, no problem," Qiu Tu agreed calmly.
He then introduced A Tai, "Agent Fang, this is my cousin A Tai, a temporary agent on Old Lane Street. He rushed over with his colleagues to assist upon hearing the gunfire."
"How would you like to proceed?"
