Chapter 1241 Pursuit

The wheels turned rapidly, and the roar of the engine hovered over a winding mountain road in Shaci District. Gui Youguang held the steering wheel, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.

It was already night, and there were few vehicles on the streets except for workers returning late and refugees wandering around. This was good news for the pursuit operation, as the agents could easily lock onto their targets.

Today is a full moon, and the bright moonlight shines on the road, making the winding mountain road as bright as day. There are steep cliffs on the side of the road, and if you are not careful, the car will be destroyed and people will die.

Gui Youguang had a calm expression, as if he didn't notice the cliff so close at hand. He stepped on the accelerator and the speed of the car soared again. Every turn was extremely precise and quick.

Suddenly, there was a sharp turn ahead. Gui Youguang turned the steering wheel without hesitation. The car spun around, and the tires rubbed against the ground, making an ear-piercing scream. The spies in the car were so scared that they quickly grabbed the handrails.

Several pieces of rubble fell off the cliff under the pressure of the wheels, and rolled into the rushing Jialing River. Taking advantage of the moment when the vehicle slowed down slightly, the young spy in the passenger seat saw a car driving at high speed across the valley, so he immediately raised a warning.

"Captain! Look."

Gui Youguang's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at the location pointed by the little spy and saw a black Buick, which was consistent with the target characteristics described by the Central University guards. He immediately accelerated the car again.

The two vehicles quickly closed the distance between each other. The black Buick noticed that someone was chasing it, so it also increased its speed and started to flee frantically.

Due to mission requirements, the Military Control Commission's vehicles were specially modified and had much greater horsepower than ordinary civilian vehicles. So no matter how the Buick accelerated, it was still slowly caught up.

When the few passers-by on the road saw this scene, they all hid behind obstacles, staring with their eyes wide open and covering their mouths, not daring to make a sound, for fear of attracting the attention of the two pursuers.

When Danggui Youguang was driving around a bend, the rear window of the Buick suddenly opened, and a dark shadow leaned out and fired several shots to the rear, but the Military Control Commission vehicle dodged them all. The bullets hit the cement road surface, sparks flew, and the sound of gunfire broke the quiet mountain city.

Without Gui Youguang's order, the co-pilot and the young spy in the back seat immediately took out their guns and fired back. The bullet trails intertwined in the night sky like meteors.

In order to ensure the safety of Zuo Zhong and several superiors, the agents on this trip not only carried pistols, but were also equipped with automatic firepower. These submachine guns played a huge role at this time.

The sharp sound of bullets whizzed past his ears, but a young spy did not move at all, holding the Thompson submachine gun firmly with both hands. When he saw the target, the crosshairs and the rear sight were on the same horizontal line, he gently pulled the trigger, and a fire snake licked the rear of the Buick.

The metal shell hit the ground with a crisp thud. The kinetic energy of the 11.43mm pistol bullet far exceeded that of ordinary pistol bullets. It easily tore open the thin skin of the Buick and pierced through the back seat.

The Buick shook, and a cloud of blood instantly appeared on the rear windshield. The gunfire stopped. It was obvious that someone in the car was hit, but the agents did not stop and continued shooting forward, trying to force it to stop.

More than ten seconds later, gunfire from the Buick rang out again, which meant that the enemy still had the power to fight back and still had plenty of ammunition.

Gui Youguang sometimes accelerated and sometimes decelerated, turned left and right, flexibly dodging the incoming bullets, and drove the vehicle to closely follow the opponent's vehicle.

"Caught alive!"

Seeing the bloodstains dripping on the road, Gui Youguang shouted, and the agents decisively adjusted their targets and concentrated their firepower on the tires of the Buick.

The spies who were responsible for protecting Zuo Zhong were all elite. They were the best among the Military Control Commission's operatives in terms of both operational skills and marksmanship. After a few rapid gunshots, the rear wheel of the Buick exploded and the car immediately lost control and began to sway from side to side.

The process from discovering each other to the fierce exchange of fire seemed very long, but it was actually only a few tens of seconds. At this time, both sides had left the winding mountain road and came to a straight road.

There is a solid mountain on the left side of the road and a wasteland and the Jialing River on the right side. The Buick driver reacted quickly and did his best to steer the car to the right to prevent the vehicle from hitting the mountain and stopping.

But after losing a tire, the Buick's handling was greatly reduced. The friction between the iron wheel and the road stones produced a series of sparks, and the car speed dropped sharply.

Gui Youguang loudly reminded his men to be careful, turned the steering wheel, and slammed the side of the Buick, causing the two cars to collide heavily.

The huge impact force caused the Buick to completely lose balance and rolled down the slope onto the wasteland. Perhaps as the saying goes, good men die young, while evil men live for a thousand years, after rolling several times, the car body returned to its normal state.

The enemy in the Buick did not surrender. Almost at the same time as the car body was straightened, the wheels of the Buick spun rapidly in the mud, throwing out several puddles of mud and started again, driving tenaciously towards the Jialing River.

Gui Youguang reacted quickly. Seeing the situation, he tilted the wheels, increased the horsepower, and drove over the stone in the aisle. He jumped down from the high road and followed closely behind the Buick.

The Military Control Commission vehicles behind followed suit, going down into the mud one after another and dispersing tacitly, trying to intercept the target from all directions.

The cold wind was howling by the river, dark clouds covered the moon, visibility dropped instantly, and only the occasional flash of gun muzzle fire could be seen in the pitch-black night.

At this time, Gui Youguang no longer cared about the air defense control regulations and ordered all vehicles to turn on their lights.

Looking down from the sky, on the desolate and rugged river beach, several bright headlights firmly locked onto the fleeing Buick, and a car encirclement gradually formed. At the outermost edge of the encirclement, two military cars circled left and right, trying to block the target. If their plan succeeded, the suspect in the Buick would be unable to escape.

On the contrary, if the enemy broke through the encirclement and jumped into the river, even if the river water was icy cold at this time of year, in this case, the enemy still had a chance to escape under the cover of darkness.

The key to catching someone lies in speed.

Gui Youguang gritted his teeth and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The well-maintained engine roared and the car roared towards the target.

But a car is not a combat vehicle after all, and the chassis was not designed for driving on such harsh terrain, so there is naturally no off-road performance. The spies in the car were tossed around, unable to sit steadily, let alone shoot.

As the firepower of the Military Control Commission weakened, the pressure on the target decreased. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Buick accelerated at full speed regardless of the terrain and managed to shake off the pursuit.

But there are gains and losses. The Buick was driving in a panic when its body suddenly shook and flew into the air from a slope. The wheels spun weakly for a few circles, and then crashed into the water with a splash.

Gui Youguang stepped on the brakes hard, and the car barely stopped a few meters away from the river. Looking at the target slowly sinking to the bottom of the water, he slammed the steering wheel hard, jumped out of the car and fired several shots at the river.

Unfortunately, apart from a few bubbles, the bullet did not hit anything, and nothing could be seen on the river surface except the car lights. Gui Youguang had no choice but to put away his gun and order his men.

"Organize personnel to search for suspects along both sides of the Jialing River, and then have the navy send ships to search for the target with dragnets and salvage the vehicle at the same time."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Jiang Shui expressionlessly. If it was just speculation before, now he could be sure that the target must be a professional agent.

Special driving, shooting while moving, planning of escape routes, and the abilities demonstrated in combat all prove that these people have undergone special training, yet I actually let the other side escape!

  Gui Youguang put his hands on his hips and gasped in the cold wind. The little spies around him didn't dare to say anything and lowered their heads to do their own things.
-

Shachi District, downstairs of the male dormitory of the Department of Mathematics, Central University.

A group of men in black blocked the students outside the building. Through the gaps in the curtains, one could see shadowy figures in one of the dormitories, and the crowd outside the cordon was whispering.

"What happened? Why did these spies come to the school?"

"I heard it was because of Yuan Chuyu's disappearance."

"Did Chu Yu really meet with misfortune? What a pity."

While people were discussing this, they saw several cars driving up and stopping downstairs. More than a dozen secret agents got out of the cars and surrounded a young man as they walked into the building.

"Someone important has arrived, and he is quite impressive."

"Chu Yu is just a student, how could he provoke such a person."

Listening to the chattering sound, the expression of a student-looking man in the crowd changed. Finally, he took a few steps forward and raised his hand to the spy.

"I'm Yuan Chuyu's classmate, and I have something to report."

Inside the dormitory building, Zuo Chong went up the wooden stairs to the second floor. Under the guidance of the little spy, he entered a dormitory and met Wu Chunyang who was directing the search.

A mobile tungsten filament lamp stood in the middle of the room, and the dazzling light illuminated every detail of the room. Several Military Control Commission technicians squatted or lay around a bed, using various tools to collect evidence.

"Vice seat."

Seeing the deputy director coming in person, Wu Chunyang hurried to the door and saluted, then reported to Zuo Chong in a low voice what had happened and the current progress.

After separating from the pursuers led by Gui Youguang at the school gate, the agents obtained the movements of the suspect posing as a police officer by questioning witnesses, and determined that the suspect had only gone to one place after entering the campus, which was the dormitory where they were now.

He immediately contacted the school to seal off the dormitory building to protect the scene, and notified technical personnel from the headquarters to investigate. Based on the testimonies of witnesses and traces left at the scene, he obtained the following clues.

There are four suspects in total, aged between 4 and 20, with different accents, heights and weights. There are no special marks on their faces or hands, such as birthmarks or scars.

The other party took away all of Yuan Chuyu's paper items, such as textbooks, homework, notes, and even toilet paper. The purpose was very clear.
