Li Guohui was right; Hai Long had always been doing business in the sunlight, so it was very easy for the police to find him. Once Hai Long was under surveillance, everything would be over.
Thus, Hai Long reluctantly returned to campus and began his last few days of classes. This year, the Spring Festival came early, so there were only half a month left until the winter break. Back at school, Hai Long saw Hu Jing again, but everyone was busy preparing for the final exams. After a brief catch-up, they all went to the library to study.
The final exams were a big deal, crucial for graduation. However, for Hai Long, it didn't matter. He had already gone to the principal's house and given him 100,000 yuan under the guise of a donation. The principal had given instructions about Hai Long's absences, so he wasn't worried about failing the exams. He might even have a chance to win a scholarship.
Although these few days were uneventful for Hai Long, the Dragon King had a lot to do. Hai Long had found out the location of Guan Daqiu's long-distance fishing fleet's port and discovered that Guan Daqiu also had a luxury yacht docked nearby. Initially, Hai Long thought that after killing Guan Daqiu's men, Guan Daqiu would flee to the fishing boat to avoid the heat. However, with the addition of the luxury yacht, Hai Long had to come up with a new plan.
Over the next few days, Hai Long visited the store where he had bought the GPS. Seeing Hai Long again, the owner happily ran out and said, "Oh, the smuggler, what are you buying this time?"
Hai Long, feeling embarrassed, said, "I want to buy a waterproof tracking system. Do you have one?"
The owner laughed and said, "I specialize in these. Russian imports, they can sync with your GPS. Once set up, your GPS will show the exact coordinates of the object you're tracking. It's a must-have for home and travel, and essential for killing."
Hai Long, sweating, said, "Give me one of these devices."
That night, Hai Long connected the device to his GPS and then swam secretly to the port in the East Sea. He went to the bottom of Guan Daqiu's luxury yacht and installed the tracker. To prevent it from being washed away by the waves, he installed two.
Afterward, Hai Long controlled the Dragon King back to the underwater canyon. Since Li Guohui and Liu Yong'an had moved into the abandoned shipyard, Hai Long had settled the Dragon King in an underwater cave in the canyon. He had discovered this cave while searching for another giant jellyfish. The cave was empty but had a narrow entrance, perfect for the Dragon King.
Ten days passed quickly. Tomorrow was the day Guan Daqiu would return, and today was the day Li Guohui and his team would take action. For the past few days, Hai Long had been disguised and secretly following Xin and his men. Today, Xin and his men left the nightclub early in the evening and drove toward the port. Hai Long quietly followed them in his Mercedes-Benz GLK300. They seemed very happy, probably because their boss was coming back tomorrow. Through the windshield, Hai Long could see them fooling around in the car.
Following them to the port, Hai Long stopped because the area was too remote and he was afraid of being discovered. He guessed they were heading to Guan Daqiu's warehouse. Hai Long knew there was a rest room on the second floor of the warehouse. He speculated that Xin and his men were unsure of the exact time Guan Daqiu would arrive, so they had come early to prepare for his return.
At 6 PM, snowflakes began to fall. Li Guohui stood in the snow, looking at the 24 fully armed young men from the fishing village. After three months of special forces training by Li Guohui, these 24 young men had become qualified soldiers. It was time for them to go to battle. Li Guohui, with his deep voice, said, "Brothers, to quickly turn you into qualified soldiers, I trained you for three months using the methods of the U.S. Navy SEALs. I am very proud of you. In three months, not one of you fell behind, and you all became qualified soldiers. Feel the powerful energy in your bodies, look at the strong muscles on your arms, and remember how many bullets you've fired. Although you are now qualified soldiers, you are not yet qualified warriors. In my view, it's easy to be a soldier, but hard to be a warrior. Only soldiers who have been tested by blood and fire can be called warriors. Today is the day to test you. Your enemy, Guan Daqiu, will return tomorrow. The boss has found out that Xin and his nine killers are resting in the rest room near the warehouse by the sea, waiting for their boss to return. If we don't kill Xin and these nine killers today, then tomorrow, Guan Daqiu will return with dozens of killers and hundreds of thugs to kill you. Remember, even for your own sake, you must kill Xin today. Do you understand?"
Actually, Li Guohui didn't need to motivate them. Xin was one of the ten elders who had started with Guan Daqiu, and he had extorted protection fees in the small fishing village. As a thug, which family's parents hadn't been beaten by Xin? So, killing Xin was not a burden for them. Seeing the wounds on their chests, they had already given their lives to the boss. They wouldn't care who the boss asked them to kill. They would just follow the order.
To minimize the impact, Li Guohui equipped each of them with an MP5 submachine gun.
At 7 PM, they packed their bags and, led by Li Guohui, drove to the warehouse near the sea. After getting out of the cars, Li Guohui led the way, took out his MP5, turned off the safety, loaded the bullets, and spit out his cigarette. At this moment, Liu Yong'an and the others saw Li Guohui as if he had suddenly transformed into a ferocious beast. The nervousness of the group was replaced by Li Guohui's fearless spirit. They all followed his actions, and the last bit of fear in their hearts disappeared, replaced by a burning passion and anger.
They had already scouted the area. Guan Daqiu's warehouse was right in front of them, and Xin and his men were resting in the rest room on the second floor.
Seeing the bright lights on the second floor, they knew Xin and his men were still awake. Li Guohui led his men quietly up the stairs to the second-floor window. Looking inside, he saw exactly ten people, and Xin was playing cards with them. Seeing this, Li Guohui raised his MP5 and fired at Xin and the others. Liu Yong'an and the others, still in shock, quickly rushed to the window. With 25 MP5s, they mercilessly fired into the 50-square-meter room. When the bullets ran out, the room was a pool of blood. Xin and the others stared in disbelief, never understanding how they had died.
After completing the mission, Li Guohui didn't rush to leave. He calmly took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff. He then said to the excited group, "How does it feel to kill someone with a gun for the first time?" Li Guohui knew they were in a state of excitement and needed to calm down. If they didn't, they might accidentally hurt their teammates in the next battle. So, he made them look at the dead bodies to calm their spirits.
Actually, Li Guohui had underestimated them. Since the first time they forced Guan Dahu to surrender in the fishing village, they had already adapted to the feeling of killing. Later, on the sea, they had jumped onto Guan Dahu's fishing boat and fought his men with knives, making their spirits even stronger. Killing had become a matter of indifference to them. This time, their excitement was only because they found it too easy. They had thought Guan Daqiu's top thug, Xin, and his nine professional killers would be formidable opponents, and that there would be casualties. They had even prepared for death. However, the reality was too shocking. In Li Guohui's sudden attack, 25 submachine guns killed Xin and his men before they could react. They found it unbelievable.
Li Guohui put down his cigarette and continued, "Didn't you think it was too easy? It's not that the task was easy, but that you have become too strong." He pointed to the metal stairs and said, "These are metal stairs. Normally, 25 people climbing them would make a lot of noise, right? But after three months of training, you made no sound at all. If there had been even a slight noise, how could Xin and the killers not have heard it? So, it's because you are too strong that you feel your opponents are too weak. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, the group felt they had found direction. Although they didn't speak, each of them nodded in agreement. Seeing that they had calmed down, Li Guohui said with a smile, "Let's go. If we don't leave soon, the police will come. We need to get back to the fishing village. I wonder what Guan Daqiu will think when he finds out Xin and the others are dead."
The group quickly returned to their cars and drove back to the abandoned shipyard.
When they returned to the shipyard, they finally let out a loud cheer. After this battle, their fear of Guan Daqiu was gone.
Seeing their joy, Li Guohui said, "Don't get too excited. There's another tough battle tomorrow. Get some rest, and we'll aim to wipe out Guan Daqiu's men tomorrow." The group responded loudly.
