Chapter 182 The Treacherous and Cunning Li Ruoxue

The urgent male voice came through the communicator again: "Snow Leopard, Snow Leopard, please confirm the final instructions! Detonate as planned?"

Wu Zhiyuan responded into the communicator: "Plan changed! Orders canceled!"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the communicator, then a voice said, "Snow Leopard, your voice sounds off?"

Li Ruoxue suddenly shouted, "I am the real Snow Leopard! I've been captured by the National Security Bureau, proceed as planned!"

Wu Zhiyuan clenched his fists, so angry he wanted to punch Li Ruoxue.

However, Li Ruoxue asked with a fawning expression, "Would you really be willing to lay a hand on a weak woman?"

With time running out, Wu Zhiyuan reported to Liu Mingxuan using an encrypted communicator: "President Liu, the situation is urgent. The CIA and Suha plan to blow up the tunnel."

When Premier Long Yun learned that the tunnel was buried with explosives, he would definitely take a detour, but the detour would require crossing the sea bridge.

The Goose Agent planted explosives under the bridge, planning to detonate them when Premier Long Yun crossed the bridge, and then frame the CIA.

Li Ruoxue has been confirmed as a special agent of the Big Goose, codenamed "Snow Leopard."

Liu Mingxuan said, "The location of the explosives in the tunnel has been found on the Anjing side, and they are being dismantled."

I will immediately dispatch Zhou Rui to the cross-sea bridge and report to Premier Long Yun immediately! Qianjin, where are you?

Wu Zhiyuan said, "I'm at the Song family villa! I need to get to the bridge as soon as possible!"

Based on the estimated time, it would take at least half an hour to get from the Song family villa to the Nancheng Port wharf, and at least forty minutes to get to the cross-sea bridge.

The key issue is that even if you reach the bridge, it will be difficult to find where the explosives were buried in a short period of time.

After all, the explosives were planted by highly trained agents.

"Ya-Wen, I need to use the restroom, could you let me?"

Li Ruoxue suddenly said she needed to use the restroom.

"This, this..." Song Yawen was somewhat embarrassed.

She knew that Li Ruoxue was no simple woman, and that going to the restroom was likely just an excuse.

"Ya-Wen, ignore her!" Wu Zhiyuan glared at Li Ruoxue. "Don't try anything funny!"

Li Ruoxue pouted and said coquettishly, "What tricks would I play if I urgently needed to pee in the bathroom? Mr. Wu, aren't you being a bit too heartless?"

Li Ruoxue then pleaded with Song Yawen: "Yawen, after I married your father, I treated you brothers and sisters well, didn't I?"

Although I serve the geese, it's all for my own master. In my heart, I love your father and your whole family.

"Let her go." Song Ya-wen finally softened. Looking at Li Ruoxue's handcuffed hands, she hesitated for a moment, "I'll go with her. I'll only uncuff one hand. It should be fine."

"Sister Ya-wen, don't..." Wu Zhiyuan tried to stop her, but Song Ya-wen had already stepped forward and unlocked the handcuffs on Li Ruoxue's right hand.

Li Ruoxue smiled at Song Yawen: "Thank you, Yawen. Don't worry, I won't run away."

Li Ruoxue and Song Yawen walked one after the other towards the bathroom in the bedroom.

"Ya-Wen, just stand at the door, I won't run away."

Song Ya-wen never imagined that the seemingly gentle and weak Li Ruoxue was actually a spy.

Suddenly, Li Ruoxue pressed a hidden button under the Simmons mattress, and the bedroom wardrobe door opened instantly, revealing an escape passage.

By the time Song Yawen realized what was happening, Li Ruoxue had already slipped into the secret passage and quickly closed the wardrobe door.

Song Ya-wen hurriedly called Wu Zhi-yuan into the bedroom and explained the situation.

"Go forward, I had no idea there was a secret escape route in Dad's room. The exit of this secret route is likely in the mountains behind, because the villa is built against the mountain."

Wu Zhiyuan found the button under the Simmons mattress, pressed it, and the wardrobe door opened.

The escape tunnel was designed very cleverly.

The wardrobe serves as a cover; once opened, a downward staircase is visible.

The stairs lead down to the basement.

There is another tunnel in the basement that connects to the outside of the villa.

The tunnel gate was locked.

It was locked by Li Ruoxue after she entered the tunnel.

Wu Zhiyuan had no intention of pursuing Li Ruoxue.

Even if they used demolition tools to open the tunnel's iron gate, it would be almost impossible for them to catch up with Li Ruoxue.

The most urgent task is to stop the agents from blowing up the cross-sea bridge.

"Sister Ya-wen, I'm leaving now. Please take care and stay safe."

"Go forward, and be careful."

Liu Mingxuan's voice came through the encrypted communicator: "Forward, Premier Long Yun has decided to suspend departure and stay at the port."

The government will soon announce that the bridge will be closed for emergency repairs, and all vehicles will be diverted.

All tunnel bombs have been defused. An Jing led her team to the cross-sea bridge to provide reinforcements and cooperate with Country A's special forces in searching for explosive devices on the bridge.

On his way to the cross-sea bridge, Wu Zhiyuan received Liu Mingxuan's latest instructions: "Proceed. According to the latest information obtained from the inside, the news that Li Ruoxue is trying to blow up the cross-sea bridge is false. There are indeed explosives at one point on the cross-sea bridge, but they are not enough to destroy the bridge."

Their actions were a diversionary tactic, a feint to distract from the real plot. Li Ruoxue's true scheme was to launch a surprise attack while Prime Minister Long Yun was waiting at the port for rerouting arrangements.

They impersonated CIA and Suha agents, instigated a chaotic battle that resulted in the mutual destruction of Long Yun and Suha's forces. They then framed others and reaped the benefits.

Li Ruoxue's people have likely already infiltrated the organization. Also, that James is a double agent for both the US and Canada, primarily serving Canada, and has been bribed by Li Ruoxue.

"I'm going to the port right away!"

"Remember, Li Ruoxue and James are malicious and ruthless."

Protect Prime Minister Long Yun, expose their true colors, and prevent Country A from descending into a full-scale civil war!

Wu Zhiyuan turned the car around and sped towards the port.

An official announcement came over the car radio: "...Due to emergency repairs on the cross-sea bridge, the original travel route has been temporarily changed. We ask for your understanding..."

The announcement was calm, masking the turbulent undercurrents beneath.

Meanwhile, in the safe waiting area inside Nancheng Port.

This place was originally a rest area for port officials, but now it has become a safe haven for Prime Minister Long Yun's motorcade.

The area was heavily guarded by the Prime Minister's bodyguards.

About 500 meters from the waiting area, a dozen or so people were gathered in the shadows in a container repair workshop.

Li Ruoxue had changed into a port worker's uniform, but her charm was still undeniable.

Dr. James was beside her.

"Is everyone here?" Li Ruoxue asked.

"All assembled." James checked the assault rifle in his hand. "Where are the CIA and Suha's people?"

"Smith and Suhar, with their small force, are on the other side of the port, attempting to launch a strong attack on the viewing platform according to the original 'Tide Plan' to draw the main guards away."

They thought they were the hunters, but they were nothing more than our bait and scapegoats.

Once they engage Long Yun's guards, we'll stab them in the back, kill Long Yun, then kill Suha and Smith, and pin the blame on them.

The script is: Suha colludes with the CIA to assassinate the Prime Minister, but is killed by the valiant Prime Minister's guards, resulting in mutual destruction. How perfect.

"Where are the people from the port's China National Security Bureau?" James asked.

"I lured them away from the mountain, drawing them to the bridge and tunnel. What a bunch of idiots!" Li Ruoxue smiled contemptuously.
