Night fell, and the celebration venue was brightly lit and bustling with noise. Zhao Wen Kang and Lana stood at the center of the stage, smiling and waving to the thunderous applause from below. This 16th-anniversary celebration was not only Zhao Wen Kang's stage to showcase his strength to the outside world but also a battlefield with hidden currents and lurking dangers.
Lin Zhe stayed by Zhao Wen Kang's side, holding a wine glass and conversing with various dignitaries, but his eyes inadvertently scanned the surroundings. He knew in his heart that tonight was not only Zhao Wen Kang's moment of glory but also his personal test.
Shui She stood within the crowd, her eyes sharply observing everything. She knew that at 7:30 PM, a historical documentary of the 16th anniversary would be played on-site. At that time, the lights in the venue would be turned off, and everyone's attention would be focused on the big screen. That would be the best opportunity for the Xiao Organization to launch their operation. Therefore, she paid extra attention to the positioning of the bodyguards, precisely calculating every second.
On the other side, Iron Fist, as the chief bodyguard for tonight's celebration, was constantly patrolling the entire venue. He carefully adjusted the distribution of all bodyguards, ensuring that the target area was within control while guaranteeing the safety of all important figures. As time passed, a sense of tension gradually permeated the air.
At the same time, Black Bear and his team's operation was also unfolding in sync.
Black Bear, Mastiff, and the other four members swiftly approached Zhao Wen Kang's mansion. The six of them coordinated tacitly, silently taking out the outer guards. Without any hesitation, they cleanly and efficiently advanced to the front door of the villa.
However, just as they were about to break down the door, a group of masked individuals suddenly appeared, blocking their path. These people were armed, numbering about thirteen, and each of their weapons was stained with blood. Clearly, these individuals were not Zhao Wen Kang's men but another group of uninvited guests with the same target as Black Bear's team.
"Looks like we're not the only ones eyeing tonight's prey," Black Bear grinned, a glint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
"Enough talk, take them out!" Mastiff growled, charging forward first.
The two sides instantly engaged in a fierce fight, with the glint of blades flashing and a heavy smell of bloodlust filling the air. Black Bear and Mastiff, like wild beasts, held off multiple opponents, buying time for the other four.
The remaining four members took advantage of the chaos to rush into the mansion. However, the bodyguards inside were not pushovers. After a fierce exchange, they barely managed to subdue the enemies and then quickly searched for the safe.
After some searching, they finally found a hidden safe behind a wall in the study, filled with cash, jewelry, and various valuables.
"We're rich!" one of the members exclaimed excitedly.
"Stop talking nonsense, load up!" another hissed, and everyone immediately began frantically looting.
However, there were simply too many valuables in the safe for them to carry all of it. Just as they were filling their bags as much as possible and preparing to retreat, sudden danger descended – four more masked individuals burst in, engaging them in close combat!
Jewelry and cash were scattered all over the room, and the fighting was exceptionally brutal.
Black Bear and Mastiff also sensed the anomaly and immediately dealt with the enemies outside before rushing into the mansion. The two of them combined their efforts to support their team, finally eliminating all the enemies. They quickly counted the loot and took everything they could carry.
But they no longer had time to pick up the jewelry on the floor; they had to leave immediately!
Just then, a series of rapid footsteps came from outside the door, followed by the sound of police sirens.
"The police are here, let's go!" Mastiff yelled.
Without a word, Black Bear threw out a grenade. The deafening explosion and billowing smoke successfully bought them time. Taking advantage of the smoke screen, they quickly retreated through the back door.
By the time the police arrived, Black Bear and his team were long gone.
Tonight's operation could be considered a success!
