#237 - Chapter 237 Successfully Arrived at the Parliament Building
Shen Wengang said this as part of a pre-arranged plan.
Although he had thrown out quite a few smoke screens, things were proceeding too smoothly, inevitably arousing suspicion.
Other aspects were unfavorable news, but the Dark Night Squad succeeded on their first try, which sounded a bit fake.
Shen Wengang's words were meant to dispel some of that doubt.
He was implying that the Dark Night Squad didn't know the truth of the matter at all.
Furthermore, Shen Wengang's doubts about the target's appearance served as indirect proof that they had indeed captured Baili Ji.
"You don't need to worry about that, bring him here immediately!" the Speaker said without explanation.
Explaining at this time would easily create complications.
"Yes, sir!" Shen Wengang acknowledged the order.
02:40.
The Dark Night Squad arrived at the foot of the Parliament Building.
The building was now surrounded by layers of sentry posts.
"Halt!"
Shen Wengang's vehicle was stopped as soon as it reached the outermost sentry post.
The car stopped, and Shen Wengang got out.
"Please show your identification," the soldier on duty said.
Shen Wengang took out his credentials and handed them over.
The soldier took the credentials, glanced at them, and returned them.
"Please wait a moment, I need to consult with someone," the soldier said.
Shen Wengang nodded.
The soldier took out his phone and made a call.
This was the Speaker's order, so he could verify it however he wanted. So Shen Wengang just stood there, waiting patiently.
A minute or two later, the soldier returned.
"Let them pass!" the soldier said.
The other soldiers quickly opened the gate.
Along the way, they were stopped twice more, but they managed to pass each time.
Over a distance of a few hundred meters, it took them at least twenty minutes. Finally, they successfully arrived at the foot of the Parliament Building.
The Dark Night Squad, a group of six, escorted two people out of the car and walked towards the entrance of the building.
Unsurprisingly, they were stopped again.
"Which one is the main culprit?" the intercepting soldier asked.
"Him!" Shen Wengang pointed.
The two people being escorted were Baili Ji and Ling Zhenhai. To avoid causing a commotion, both of them had hoods on.
The intercepting soldier prepared to remove the hood to verify their identities.
"Hold on!" Shen Wengang immediately stopped him.
The soldiers guarding the entrance, seeing this, all reached for their guns, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.
"The Speaker has ordered that no one is allowed to check," Shen Wengang said.
The soldier was suspicious and immediately returned to the building to consult.
Ten minutes later, the soldier ran out and nodded.
Of course, they wouldn't be allowed to check the imposters. If they took off the hoods and saw another Speaker, who wouldn't be suspicious?
"Let them pass!" the intercepting soldier ordered.
The other soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and stood to the sides, creating a passageway.
Shen Wengang and his group finally brought Baili Ji and Ling Zhenhai into the Parliament Building.
"Report!"
"Enter!" the imposter said excitedly.
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Now that the people had been captured, his heart could finally be at ease.
Six Dark Night members escorted two hooded people in.
"Remove their hoods," the imposter ordered.
Shen Wengang stepped forward and removed the hoods from the two men.
The imposter was overjoyed when he saw their faces.
"That's them!"
"It wasn't easy!"
Baili Ji and Ling Zhenhai squinted, adjusting to the indoor light, and then looked around.
This was his office, but someone had taken it over.
He walked to the guest sofa and sat down directly, and no one stopped him.
The imposter frowned, but didn't say anything.
"Take him out first!" the imposter said, pointing to Ling Zhenhai next to him.
But no one moved.
The imposter realized that something was wrong.
After Baili Ji sat down, he crossed his legs, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it.
The six Dark Night members looked at him without saying a word.
"What are you doing?" the imposter asked sternly.
Still, no one spoke.
Everyone knew he was an imposter, and no one would pay attention to him.
"Cuff him!" Baili Ji ordered.
"Yes, sir!" Two Dark Night Squad members acknowledged the order and walked towards the imposter.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Are you rebelling?" the imposter shouted loudly.
The two members were unmoved and continued to approach.
The imposter hurriedly ran towards the inside of the desk, because there was an alarm button inside. As long as he pressed the alarm button, the people outside would rush in.
"Bang!"
A sharp dagger flew directly over and stuck into the table, stopping him from moving forward. The person who threw it was Luo'er, who was standing next to Shen Wengang.
After more than half a year of training, she had become very mature. She no longer giggled when performing tasks, but had a serious face.
"I advise you to surrender obediently, to avoid suffering," Shen Wengang said.
The two members continued to approach, already taking out handcuffs.
He understood everything. The commotion in the city tonight was to distract him. And behind it all, they were the ones pulling the strings, with the goal of successfully entering the Parliament Building.
But he really couldn't understand when the Dark Night Squad had sided with them.
But now was not the time to think about these things.
"You want to catch me? Not so easy!"
The imposter was exasperated, and raised his hands upwards. Red curtains quickly descended on the four walls of the office.
It turned out that he was also prepared.
