Chapter 785: Chapter 349: World-Famous

"Captain Yassen?"

Hearing a familiar voice calling him from behind, Gu Ji turned around and unexpectedly came face to face with Antonie Yassen.

Even more "coincidental" was the sight of a very young white boy nearby.

Yes, that kid was indeed Baron.

However, he had already taken off his tactical gear and changed into ordinary attire, looking like a tourist student from the United States blending in with the refugees ready to flee the blockaded district.

"How come you’re here?"

Yassen looked at the four of them with slight suspicion, especially lingering a few seconds longer on the bodies of Li Yaoguang and Ling Yousong.

It was well-known that armed personnel appearing in this district were likely involved in the snatching of the stolen briefcase from the Defense Department Research Institute. From BOPE’s perspective, they were "enemies."

"SSS used robot dogs to bomb the exhibition center, injuring the VIP we were protecting. Then my two subordinates privately came to seek revenge on the PM mercenaries. I feared for their safety, so I came with reinforcements to look for them. Unfortunately, I was still a step too late..."

Nowadays, Gu Ji could concoct lies effortlessly.

Even Gao Bo was almost deceived by him.

Yassen squinted slightly, though the reason appeared unconvincing.

But after several rounds of combat, he grew to admire this young special ops officer from the Xia Kingdom standing in front of him. Besides, with everything under his control now, he chose to turn a blind eye.

Before long.

A few heavily armed special forces officers approached from the street, notably Crab, Shark, and Bat, members of the BOPE team.

"Boss, those guys still got away!"

"I didn’t catch them either."

"Forget it. The blockade is successful anyway; leave the rest to the military police. Have we made contact with the command center?"

"Yes, we got in touch, and the chief lambasted us!"

Faced with his subordinates’ setbacks, Yassen didn’t show much disappointment or reluctance.

This indicated he might have intentionally sent them away, just to create an opportunity to meet with Baron alone.

So the black briefcase should be...

Gu Ji noticed that Yassen had a camouflage special operations backpack strapped to his back. The case was likely hidden inside, as Baron feared he couldn’t take it out easily himself.

Sure enough.

When Baron queued at the blockade checkpoint with the refugees, there were a dozen military police and four police dogs around him. Under supervision from superiors, they strictly inspected personal belongings, just like domestic airport security, leaving nothing unchecked, even shoes and mouths.

"Looks like you were right; this game has no winner."

Gao Bo whispered to Gu Ji.

Clearly, the appearance of combat aircraft had completely enraged the Brazilian government, and under such strict inspection searches, hardly anyone could take the case out of this area.

Soon, it was Gu Ji and the others’ turn.

Even though they presented relevant documents from the embassy, faced with their fully armed demeanor, the inspecting officer remained highly suspicious, even once believing something was hidden within Ling Yousong’s body.

Seeing two military police sneeringly and roughly rummaging through the body, Zhou Yu’s eyes turned red, and he immediately rushed forward, pushing them away.

"Damn it! I will not allow you to desecrate his dignity like this!"

"Move aside! Otherwise, I’ll arrest you right now; this is a serious warning!"

Unexpectedly, the military police also adopted a very firm attitude.

These words triggered all the soldiers and police maintaining order around to simultaneously raise their guns, aiming at Zhou Yu, and the atmosphere instantly turned tense and confrontational.

"Gao Bo, call Mr. Qieu again. Tell him to hurry, or something’s about to blow up here!"

Gu Ji’s eyes narrowed as he prepared to rush over to help.

But Yassen chose that moment to step over with his men, standing between the two sides, "I’m Captain Yassen of the BOPE Special Operations Team. I’ve cooperated with these Xia Kingdom special forces multiple times. Don’t worry; they’re not a problem!"

"BOPE?"

The bearded officer in charge of inspections strode over calmly, scrutinizing Yassen from head to toe, "You haven’t passed the security check yourselves yet. How are you qualified to declare them clean?"

"What did you say?"

Crab, built broad and bulky and known for a temper, immediately burst into a string of Portuguese curses, "I risk my life catching criminals in the district, and you motherfuckers dare to suspect me?!"

Yassen also showed anger.

"We are the Special Operations Team under the direct jurisdiction of the Federal Police Headquarters Division Chief; you have no right to check us. Get your superior over here!"

"No name-drop will work! You must submit to inspection!"

"If you’ve got the guts, come over and see if I don’t blow your head off!"

"I dare you!"

...

Unexpectedly.

Not only did Yassen and his crew fail to smoothly resolve the situation, but the conflict escalated.

Both sides raised their guns, aimed at each other, hurling various profanities back and forth, safety latches off, ready to fire at the slightest provocation.

Just as tensions seemed poised to spiral out of control.

Suddenly, a rumbling thunder came from the distant sky again.

Gu Ji gazed upwards to see a gray-green military transport plane.

This was a KC-390 medium-range transport plane independently developed by Brazil. As it passed overhead, the rear hatch opened, and several small black figures leaped high from the sky.

In just over ten seconds, they dived over the district, simultaneously deploying parachutes only 150 meters from the ground.
