As the mastermind of the Dark Restaurant, Zhou Guoli was completely confident that he could catch up with Sharp Blades. Even so, he knew that he still had an advantage in the current situation.
When the enemy was in the dark, he could still lean against this office building and use those powerless office workers as a target of coercion. He was certain that the members of Sharp Blades would not act rashly in this situation due to their sense of social responsibility as a righteous organization.
Not only that, Zhou Guoli seemed to be extremely excited, as if he was playing a game of cat and mouse with Sharp Blades. Unexpectedly, even before his position was completely exposed, he had arrogantly grabbed a megaphone and shouted down the stairs.
"Hey, aren't you just fart blades!? Hehe, what nation's sharp blade? I want to see if all of you are really like a sharp blade, invincible and capable enough to come and grab me! "
Zhou Guoli this fellow did not hesitate to reveal his position and did not place these sharp blades in his eyes. Such an arrogant and conceited action had infuriated Hong Qingting and the rest of the Sharp Blade Group members, especially this fellow's contempt for Sharp Blade Group.
The biggest hostage in this world, even though there were no hostages here, there were still hundreds of office workers working overtime. Carelessly harming innocent people was a grave sin.
No matter what, even if the culprit was released, an innocent life should not be harmed. This was a fundamental principle that included both the police and Sharp Blade Group.
Hong Qingting acted as the commander for this operation, and was also the captain of the squad. The squad members behind him could not bear to be humiliated, and spoke furiously: "Captain, are we just going to allow Zhou Guoli to insult Sharp Blades? Hurry up and give the order, we'll make our move! "
Although Hong Qingting was also very angry and could not control herself, as a Leader, she had to control her emotions and must not panic.
Hong Qingting ordered his subordinates to not act rashly. The few of them spread out and slowly entered the office building from different directions.
However, what was strange was that Zhou Guoli's voice seemed to come from different places, one moment he was shouting at them, and the next moment he was running towards another direction of the window.
However, according to the informants, Zhou Guoli had never trusted anyone. He had always fought alone and lived alone, especially in this kind of life and death crisis.
With such a large office building and over a hundred innocent office workers, wanting to find Zhou Guoli was truly as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Even so, Hong Qingting's men would not give up so easily. They continued to carefully attack and search for Zhou Guoli's whereabouts.
Just as they were searching, there was the sound of a gunshot. The bullet grazed past Hong Qingting's shoulder and shot over, almost taking her life.
Hong Qingting anxiously hid behind a pillar and took out her spear to attack precisely according to the direction of the bullet. However, she did not see any trace of Zhou Guoli.
She immediately transmitted a message to her teammates through the walkie-talkie. She had to be careful, Zhou Guoli, this crazy guy, actually shot from his office building.
Some of them thought they had heard wrongly, but there were also some who had become cautious and did not dare to continue staying in the building. Some of the white-collar workers who were closer to where Zhou Guoli had shot them, were able to hear the loud sounds clearly. They instantly fell into a mess, and began to flee for their lives.
As a result, the entire office building started to panic, making the situation even more tense.
Hong Qingting swore silently in her heart: "Zhou Guoli, don't let me catch you. After I catch you, even if I have to go against the rules of the organization, I will ruthlessly smash your head into pieces!"
Zhou Guoli's voice once again sounded. From the loudspeaker, he laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, Sharp Blades? Pui! Didn't you claim to be an outstanding member of the Sharp Blades? "Come on up, why can't you catch me after so long?"
Zhou Guoli was like a ghost, wandering around every corner of the office building. The people who were working overtime had all heard this sound and started to panic.
Hong Qingting had no choice but to warn her teammates once again. She must suppress the anger in her heart, and absolutely must not fire from the gun, as it would harm innocent lives.
As members of Sharp Blades, they had to attend skill classes almost every day. Furthermore, there was an old precedent among their team that made them sick, and that was that over 30 years ago, there was an outstanding member of Sharp Blades who accidentally injured a pregnant woman, causing one to die and two to die. Even though this senior Sharp Blade was very outstanding in all aspects, the organization managed to expel him.
As the saying goes, a military order is like a mountain. The biggest hostage is not a joke.
Hong Qingting and the others were afraid of shooting rats, and could not move freely. This made Zhou Guoli even more arrogant, and made it even more difficult to capture him.
Just like that, a total of three hours passed until all the workers in the office building who were working overtime, whether because they were afraid or because it was already too late, they all left the office building. Only then did Hong Qingting and the rest leave.
In the blink of an eye, it was already past midnight. Hong Qingting and the others were all exhausted, but they still could not let their guard down.
All of a sudden, one of the members of Sharp Blades said into the walkie-talkie: "Captain, I've found traces of Zhou Guoli! He was dressed in black and his face was covered. He ran from the 12th to the 10th floor.
Hong Qingting also rushed to the tenth floor. She really did discover a Black Masked Man, and from the looks of it, it was a man. Her footsteps were fast, and she had a suspicious look on her face.
Just like the other members, Hong Qingting also subconsciously thought that this was Zhou Guoli. They wholeheartedly chased this Black Masked Man all the way from the tenth floor all the way to the first floor.
It was inconvenient for them to do anything while they were in the office building. Now that Zhou Guoli had finally escaped from the office building, he ran along the road, and it was already the wee bit of dawn. There were barely any cars on the road, making it easier for them to move.
Hong Qingting immediately used her Silent Spear and shot at the fleeing Black Masked Man with a "sou sou sou" sound. However, this fellow's speed was very fast and his martial arts were high, so it was impossible for him to be harmed.
Hong Qingting was a smart girl, she was worried that she would fall for Zhou Guoli's trap of luring the tiger out of the mountain, so she instructed her two capable subordinates to stay at the office, while she brought a few other subordinates to continue chasing.
Only half an hour later, when Hong Qingting had already chased her out of the suburbs and there was no trace of the Black Masked Man, did she realize that she had indeed been tricked by Zhou Guoli.
Hong Qingting anxiously called the subordinate that was guarding the office, none of them noticed Zhou Guoli, so she rushed back to the office building and continued to search, but as expected, he did not find any trace of Zhou Guoli.
There were only two possibilities. The first was that the Black Masked Man was Zhou Guoli himself and he had escaped. The other was that the Black Masked Man was Zhou Guoli's helper.
But no matter which possibility, there was only one outcome, and that was that this attempt to capture Zhou Guoli had failed.
Hong Qingting and the others were very discouraged.
As the person in charge, Hong Qingting sighed in annoyance, but she also knew that Zhou Guoli was extremely cunning, and had extremely strong anti-detection awareness. It would definitely not be an easy task to capture him.
Seeing that it was already past one in the morning, Hong Qingting finally had time to contact Ye Haochen. She wanted to ask him what she thought about it. However, it was already so late. Nie Yan wondered where that fellow was at the moment, and if he was still investigating the inside story of Dark Restaurant.
Unexpectedly, after the call was picked up, a lazy voice sounded from the other end, seemingly impatient, "Hello, it's already the middle of the night. Why are you calling me?"
Hong Qingting said in a huff: "You! You're actually sleeping?! "
Ye Haochen said snappily: "Damn, it's already so late, what's the point of me not sleeping?"
The current Ye Haochen was indeed sleeping, he was lying on the bed in the rented room. After settling the matter with Zhao Jinbo and his son, he returned to the rented room early on. Sister Yaxin was still angry at him, so he couldn't help but say a few good words to coax him.
However, Sister Yaxin was a very magnanimous girl, and everything was fine very quickly. She cooked a large table of delicious food for him at night, and the two of them watched Korean dramas for a while, then went back to their respective rooms to rest.
Although Ye Haochen knew that his trip here was over, he was still anxiously capturing Zhou Guoli.
However, Ye Haochen seemed to have already expected this outcome.
Although he had never come into contact with Zhou Guoli before, from the various information he gathered, he was definitely an enemy that was not easy to deal with. Even Hong Qingting and the others would definitely not be able to catch him this time. Instead of helping her, she decided to sleep at home.
There was no need to ask any further, just by hearing the tone of Hong Qingting's voice.
The Hong Qingting girl on the phone was clearly very angry, she wanted him to get dressed quickly and say that she had something to discuss.
Although Ye Haochen was unwilling, this girl also talked about the matter of him and Lin Xiaoxiao sleeping the whole night. He had no choice but to get dressed and meet up with Hong Qingting.
After seeing Hong Qingting, Hong Qingting complained once again, but when the matter was urgent, she indeed had something to discuss with him.
Hong Qingting told her what happened to Zhou Guoli just now, including the appearance of Black Masked Man.
Knifeblade, you are still my respected senior. I am not speaking to you in my private capacity, but in my personal capacity, I am requesting for your assistance. Zhou Guoli is the most cunning enemy we have ever met, we do not have the ability to catch him, so we request for your help, senior! Hong Qingting said as she gave a standard military salute to Ye Haochen.
At that moment, the two of them were standing by the road, under the dim yellow light, Hong Qingting's face was filled with fatigue, his entire body was covered in dust, but it was still unable to hide her beauty, especially at that moment, when the little girl was serious, and had added a lot of charm to her.
The street lamp was dim, the wind rustling heroic. This little girl who did not admit defeat was truly cute to the extreme, how could Ye Haochen bear to refuse her!
However, Ye Haochen seemed to hesitate, and slowly said: "I can promise you, but you must promise me a condition."
Hong Qingting maintained her standard military posture and asked seriously: "Senior, please give the order!"
Unexpectedly, Ye Haochen said with a chuckle: "Hehe, the condition is very simple. If I agree, then sleep with me!"
