Chapter 524: Chapter 524: Tricking the Second Young Master Again 7_1 Chapter 524: Chapter 524: Tricking the Second Young Master Again 7_1 Moreover, the individual in conversation with Qiu Ge might be part of Dark Night.
In the meantime, a silver-haired man in a leather jacket and striking tattoos on his arm emerges. He agitatedly paces around and finally kicks the door open.
Qiao Xiaren’s sharp gaze catches the figure of this man. Members of Dark Night have shown up. She adeptly loads her pistol, and waves her hand behind her, “Target identified, prepare to strike!”
Inside, a group of men and women jump in fright at the sight of the silver-haired man rushing in. He immediately grabs the woman nearest to him and pushes her rudely out.
“Silence! Everyone stay back or I’ll kill this woman!” The silver-haired man is obnoxiously cocky, knowing full well the military would risk popular scorn if they attacked regardless of the woman’s life.
The military’s reputation is something they cannot afford to tarnish.
Qiao Xiaren has always detested threats.
“Captain Qiao, what should we do?”
You Dian aims at the silver-haired man, but dares not act rashly. He can only retreat as per the man’s instructions. The silver-haired man has a sharp gaze, watching You Dian intently.
The two sides face off with palpable tension in the air.
Qiao Xiaren also retreating, has to prioritize the hostage’s safety. You Dian and she are both under surveillance, they can’t strike now.
“Ping Liang, be ready to take the shot when the time comes.”
Upon hearing Qiao Xiaren’s low command, Ping Liang subtly catches the pistol she tosses him, tightly gripping it after a swift twirl.
Qiao Xiaren gestures and her team at the forefront quietly starts to spread out. Through her earpiece, she gives Ping Liang fresh instructions: “Get ready, it must be a direct hit!”
“Yes, Ping Liang received!”
Qiao Xiaren times, the pitch-black muzzle of the gun points toward the silver-haired man. Even if he’s alert, he wouldn’t expect a gun is aiming at him from the darkness.
“Nine o’clock, fire!”
At Qiao Xiaren’s command, Ping Liang fires. The bullet hits the silver-haired man in the thigh. He howls in pain, and falls to the ground.
This buys precious time. Since the target is far, hitting the mark with one bullet still poses a problem.
A gunshot rings out again, triggering another round of screams. The crowd hasn’t fully dispersed, most people are outright petrified.
The remaining people heed the command and drop to the ground.
Ping Liang aims at the silver-haired man again, providing the latest precision information: “Captain Qiao, Ping Liang is ready.”
“Good, aim in this direction,” Qiao Xiaren immediately issues an order. “Fire!”
There’s another bang. The bullet precisely pierces the silver-haired man’s forehead, he falls to the ground, dead. Qiao Xiaren quickly moves forward to check his breathing.
A direct hit to the forehead, he couldn’t possibly survive.
“Immediately deal with the remaining bodies, clean up the scene,” Qiao Xiaren stands up, looking at the approaching team members. “Has there been any suspicious activity at the entrance?”
“Reporting, yes!” Chen Ping salutes, “We’ve apprehended several of Qiu Ge’s accomplices, awaiting Captain Qiao’s instructions!”
“Good job,” Qiao Xiaren nods. “Take these people to the military headquarters. The investigators there will interrogate them. We can’t miss a single suspicious person.”
After this battle, the special forces team is at a loss for words to describe their admiration for Qiao Xiaren.
