“Minos 1, do you copy? Minos 1” The walkie talkie from the guard leader finally sprung to life in the desolate bunker they were holding.
“Yes, this is Minos 1, copy. Overlord, I am glad to hear your voice again.” The guard leader quickly pulled it out and even the bystanders were relieved to know that they would not be in this concrete hell hole that much longer.
“We have merged with the police and they are dealing with the situation on the ground as we speak. Give us a sitrep on your end.” The main communications team that was initially dealing with the coordination within the convention building had been rescued and as stated in their reply, they had liaised with the police to deal with the remaining threat as well as information on the protective details. While the State Security should have rostered plans for the minister of defence, there were other minor VIPs within the exhibition halls too and the coordination of their guards was needed as the police did not have all of them.
“Plan Charlie. We are located at our ‘last bastion’. We barricaded the doors further in case of any external breaches too. However, we are missing a few guards as well as two VIPs. Mr “D’ had been a little too concerned about his acquaintance who had been missing for quite some time. Our guards had yet to report back to us too although I suspect it’s the issue of having a mass communication breakdown.” The guard leader reported and then the main comms team held back their reply as they were discussing among themselves whether to reveal a certain piece of information to the guard leader.
“Do it.” Yu Xuan, who was in the makeshift communications headquarters, gave them the directive to do so, stating that it was Kong Rong’s decision. Everyone within the comms team including the highest ranking officer who was heading the operation did not concur with his order. “But give the reply to Mr D instead.”
“Not as if he could do anything with the information and he might incite even more panic. Besides, Mr D is one of the lower ranking cultivators there.” The acting head of the police operation argued and Yu Xuan shook his head and went towards him to whisper a few sentences.
The Head was shocked to hear the news but he tried to control his facial emotions not to reveal too much. That however still caused the entire team to be curious. Very curious about the information that Yu Xuan had shared. Especially when the Head immediately nodded his head reluctantly to order his operator to pass the news to Mr D instead.
“Sir, Overlord wanted to talk to you saying he had some information for your ears only.” The Guard Leader believed the head just wanted to make sure the Minister of Defence was well and alive. He wanted to take out the earpiece jack from the walkie talkie for him to use but He Fei insisted on using the earpiece for anonymity sake. Obviously, he did not want anyone else to know what he was talking about.
“D speaking.” He Fei said and immediately, he was asked to give a special passcode that did not make sense to either the guards or the people around them. “Hold the door or you shall not pass.” He Fei whispered as softly as he could.
“Hahaha. Blame the Ryuli for giving you such a lame passcode.” Yu Xuan said as he was talking upon taking the mic from the current operator. “We found out, there are indeed moles in your group. Apparently way more than we had expected.”
“Are you sure you are not compromised in that room to give such important information out just like this?” He Fei asked as he was worried that there might be moles in the police force as well and it may jeopardise the current operation they were in.
“Well, if there are any, it means State Security would not be the only ones involved after this incident. Internal Affairs would be banging on every department to ensure that we are clean. Well, you my sir, will be in charge of it after all.” Yu Xuan was giggling at the side as if he was talking to an old friend because no one in their right mind would be talking to the Minister of Defence in such a casual way except for the police head who knew exactly what was happening behind the scenes once he heard the plan from Yu Xuan.
“As if that is happening. If I am in charge, it is not a clean swipe at all. Do not forget your responsibilities as a State agent” He Fei was being all serious on the phone but clearly, it was a mere act. And suddenly, there was a loud click coming from afar. Everyone in the room thought that help was here, especially with the recovery of the communications but when the heavy lock door slowly opened, they found out it was the guards Lee and Cheng. The lady who said that she needed to go to the toilet was assisting Lee who was injured to pass through.
“The show is starting.” He Fei said, and Yu Xuan acknowledged his response but instead of asking the Police for more help, he told the operator to change the channel over to continue coordinating the rescue. In the meantime, he picked his phone up and dial for a certain someone.
“Hey Ryuli, the show is starting. They had returned to the bunker.” Yu Xuan said but instead of a verbal reply, all he heard were taps. Instead of querying for a verbal response, he quickly ended the call. Those taps were no doubt morse code and it did not take Yu Xuan long to understand that they were at the scene too, waiting for the right time to ambush. All he could do now was to hope that there were no other casualties other than the terrorists.
