Chapter 541: Chapter 541: Trap (Big Chapter, Asking for Monthly Passes)

"Is there an annual charity gala every year?"

He Ao looked at the changing floor numbers on the elevator’s interior display and suddenly spoke out loud.

"Yes."

Heish nodded gently, turned her head to look at He Ao, "What about it?"

"Do you attend every time?"

He Ao continued to ask.

"No,"

Heish shook her head, "I used to just send a verbal message to donate money. My business has been doing better in the past two years, so I got the qualification to attend the gala. To be precise, I’ve had the qualification to attend since last year."

At that moment, the elevator arrived, and the doors slowly opened, revealing the silent, luminous underground parking lot outside.

"Was the underground parking lot you used last time the same as this one?"

He Ao, while walking out of the elevator, asked as he looked at the rows of parked cars.

"It seems like it wasn’t here last time. This building has several underground parking lots. In theory, Welme’s parking assistants should direct us to the nearest lot."

Heish glanced around and moved closer to He Ao, "But in general, the decoration style here and the location of the elevators are similar to the underground parking lot I visited last time."

"Indeed, this is the closest parking lot after we arrived,"

He Ao glanced at the luxury cars that seemed to have parked not long ago. All these cars were equipped with privacy windows, making it impossible to see inside from the outside.

He moved his pace slowly, walking with Heish toward the parking space they had used earlier.

The car was driven over by He Ao, who remembered the route they took, especially after arriving at the Welme Medical Building.

This parking lot was indeed the closest at the time, and under the guidance of the smart parking assistant, they practically drove straight into this lot without any interruptions in between.

"Is something wrong?"

Heish’s expression became solemn as she slowly unfastened the buckle on her skirt, and her collected long skirt transformed into pants.

"It’s a bit too quiet here."

He Ao looked back at the elevator doors that had closed.

The display above the elevator still showed the floor of this underground parking lot; the elevator stopped here and didn’t immediately ascend.

In other words, no one above was using this elevator.

He withdrew his gaze and continued forward.

They weren’t far from the elevator when they saw their parked black sports car just a few steps away.

The sports car lay quietly under the somewhat dim lighting, like a shadow with bared fangs blending into the night.

He Ao stopped not far from the sports car, and Heish stopped beside him.

"Something’s not right?"

Heish stared at the familiar vehicle she cherished.

"Wait for me a moment."

He Ao looked at the ground to the left of the sports car and handed the briefcase he was carrying to Heish.

Then his figure flashed, and he instantly appeared next to the driver’s seat of the sports car, punching through the driver’s side window, taking out the dagger he had placed there, and then abruptly withdrew his hand and jumped back.

The whole process was smooth and extremely fast; Heish’s gaze could barely keep up with He Ao’s actions. She opened her mouth to say something, but before she could make a sound, He Ao had already retracted his hand and leaped back.

Boom——

At that moment, the roaring sound of an explosion erupted suddenly.

Vicious flames burst forth from the black sports car, and the powerful shock wave from the explosion surged towards He Ao, who had jumped away, and Heish, who was standing not far away.

Heish suddenly shut his mouth and turned to run.

He Ao appeared by her side; both of them rolled and took cover behind a support pillar in an underground parking garage.

Bang—

Adhesive flame-laden metal shards slammed against the concrete of the pillar, scattering sparks everywhere.

"Did you want to say something just now?"

He Ao twirled his knife, getting familiar with the feel of the dagger, and turned his head to look at Heish.

"My car was pretty expensive."

A somewhat shook-up Heish sighed with a smile, then violently opened the briefcase in her hand, revealing two heavy pistols and six magazines laid out inside.

She grabbed a pistol and quickly loaded a magazine, asking hastily, "How did you find out there was a bomb in that car?"

But He Ao did not immediately reply to her; instead, he suddenly yelled, "Jump forward."

Screech—

Almost simultaneously with He Ao’s shout, the violent sound of tires scraping the ground abruptly rang out.

Two bright headlights suddenly lit up the dim underground parking garage, and a bulky off-road vehicle parked not far from the two of them suddenly started and charged at the two who had just dodged an explosion.

He Ao and Heish rolled forward almost at the same time, avoiding the off-road vehicle’s charge.

"The bomb wasn’t on the car; a small unmanned vehicle carrying the bomb was parked underneath it. There were tracks of the unmanned vehicle on the ground."

As He Ao explained to Heish, he took the opportunity to grab the remaining gun from Heish’s briefcase, disengaged the safety, chambered a round, and turned around to fire at the off-road vehicle that was turning around to charge at them again.

Bang—

The bullet pierced through the windshield, shattering the body of the driver who was flooring the gas pedal.

The entire off-road vehicle lost control and crashed into another pillar not far away, and fierce flames erupted from the vehicle.

Heish gathered the remaining magazines; she carefully recalled the surroundings of the sports car just now. Under the dim light of the underground parking garage, the ground all seemed the same; she hadn’t noticed any suspicious traces.

If it weren’t for He Ao, she might have been badly injured by that bomb just now.

"Were they planning to finish me off right here?"

Heish disengaged the safety of the pistol, stood back to back with He Ao, and pulled the gun’s slide, chambering a round.

At this moment, she too realized some issues from before; the bomb couldn’t have exploded just as He Ao was retrieving something by chance. This indicated that the person who had planted the bomb was nearby or monitoring the garage through some means to detonate the bomb at any moment.

He Ao’s retrieval of the dagger was actually a probe to see if the mastermind was still watching the place.

In the face of He Ao clearly showing signs of sensing something odd about the sports car, detonating the bomb while He Ao was fetching something, at least injuring He Ao, would have been the most rational decision.

And indeed, that’s what the person who planted the bomb did.

Unfortunately for them, He Ao’s reaction speed exceeded their expectations, resulting in no injury to He Ao as they had imagined.

Although she had anticipated it, Heish was still surprised by the scale of the opponent’s operation this time.

She had thought if they were to take action, they would at least wait until they left the Welme Medical Building, not expecting the attack to commence right in the underground parking garage.

Didn’t the attacker fear accidentally injuring other guests from the charity dinner?

Hum—

The grating sound of engines echoed continuously in their ears.

In the dim parking garage, one by one, bright headlights lit up.

Luxury cars parked nearby all started up, the tinted privacy windows lowered slowly, and dark gun barrels extended from within.

This fleet of luxury cars mixed with off-road vehicles formed a large convoy, rapidly enclosing the two of them.

"Your ’partner’, I’m afraid he’s already been caught."

Staring at the dark muzzles of the guns, He Ao spoke softly.

"It seems this was always a ’trap’."

By now, Heish had completely calmed down, and piecing together the question He Ao had just asked, she realized that this dinner, including her transaction tonight, had always been under the other party’s surveillance.

From the moment she arrived at Welme Medical Building, she had entered the trap set by the other party.

Among all the guests attending the dinner, only she had been led to this parking lot. The luxury cars parked around weren’t the means of transport for the dinner’s distinguished guests but dangerous animal traps cleverly disguised by the hunter lurking behind the scenes.

This entire underground parking lot was the ’trap’ that the hunter had prepared to get rid of her.

Bang bang bang—

The guns protruding from the car windows didn’t hesitate to open fire on the pair.

The blistering hail of bullets flew past their ears.

These were heavy submachine gun bullets. One or two could injure a D-level, but the dense downpour of bullets was overwhelming even for a C-level.

"Follow me."

He Ao suddenly leaped up and violently jumped behind another load-bearing column, with Heish right on his heels.

The sound of gunfire was still violently erupting around them, but now few bullets were landing near them.

The column they were hiding behind was close to the one the off-road vehicle had collided with. The burning off-road vehicle on that column partially obscured their view, creating a small blind spot around them.

The shooters couldn’t pin down their exact location and had to shoot based on instinct; a part of those instinctive shots were also blocked by the burning off-road vehicle.

The sound of moving vehicles rapidly approached, signaling that the enemy was adjusting their encirclement.

"What do we do next?"

Heish looked up at He Ao and asked softly.

In the events that had just unfolded, He Ao had demonstrated extreme professionalism. Heish was well aware of her capabilities; her strengths lay in being an Intermediary, not in executing tasks.

Fighting was not her specialty.

Her combat skills were enough to bully some ordinary D-levels, but once faced with combat-oriented C-levels, she was likely to be powerless.

And clearly, the person who set the trap had made extensive preparations, so it was certainly a desperate situation. The current barrage was just an appetizer meant to weaken her and He Ao’s state. More formidable moves would surely follow.

Therefore, professional matters should be left to professionals.

"You cover me,"

He Ao glanced at her and spoke quickly.

Then he leapt toward the burning off-road vehicle.

As he landed in front of the burning off-road vehicle, another vehicle trying to tighten the encirclement by changing its position also entered his field of vision.

He Ao observed the approaching off-road vehicle, and as he noticed it, the gunman behind it noticed him as well.

In the gunman’s hands was not an ordinary powerful submachine gun but a Gauss Rifle that was already charged.

His reaction was extremely quick; almost instantly upon sighting He Ao, he aimed his gun at him.

Unfortunately, adjusting the aim while moving at high speed is quite a complex task, and by the time he adjusted his aim, He Ao had already raised his Heavy Pistol and pulled the trigger.

Bang—

The bullet shattered the gunman’s body in an instant and, slanting through the space inside the off-road vehicle, shattered the driver’s side window.

The splattering glass startled the driver, who jerked the steering wheel fiercely, causing the off-road vehicle’s direction to deviate and quickly head toward He Ao’s direction.

And while all this was happening, on the other side, behind He Ao’s back, another Gauss Rifle aimed at his figure.

Bang bang bang—

With a series of thunderous gunshots, He Ao turned his head to look behind him.

Heish’s muzzle was aimed right at the position behind him, where an off-road vehicle with a damaged tire spun out of control and was slamming into other cars; There was also a gunman on the off-road vehicle with a Gauss Rifle.

At this moment, the gunman was struggling to adjust his posture, aiming his rifle at He Ao.

Clearly, Heish’s previous attack had disrupted his rhythm.

He Ao raised his hand and fired a shot, the bullet instantly piercing the gunman’s body.

He turned his head, gave a thumbs up to Heish, who had retreated behind a support pillar, then turned back and charged toward the off-road vehicle he had influenced.

The driver, seeing He Ao approaching, jerked the steering wheel trying to swerve away.

But it was already too late; this vehicle was the closest car to He Ao. After being startled by He Ao, the driver had even moved sharply towards this side for a distance.

Now the distance between them was close at hand for He Ao.

In almost an instant, He Ao’s figure clambered to the outside of the driver’s seat door.

"Go to hell, bastard."

The driver caught a glance of He Ao, knowing he couldn’t shake him, he unlocked the passenger door, grabbed the heavy submachine gun from the passenger seat, let go of the steering wheel, and turned to face He Ao as he toppled towards the passenger side.

His plan was simple: shoot and hit He Ao, while the recoil would push him back a distance. If He Ao was killed, he’d return to the driver’s seat to brake; if not, he could roll out from the passenger side.

But plans are always too optimistic; as his finger pulled the trigger, a sharp dagger penetrated his neck, and bright red blood splattered out.

He Ao’s hand reached through the shattered driver’s side window, opened the door from the inside, then settled into the driver’s seat with ease and closed the door.

One hand on the steering wheel, the other gripping the dagger hilt still in the driver’s neck, he jerked the wheel violently.

The entire off-road vehicle took a sharp turn, flinging the driver’s corpse out.

He Ao’s wrist gave a slight shake to knock the blood off the dagger, then he withdrew the blade, steering with one hand, pressed the accelerator, and sped through the vacant road towards Heish.

The sudden bullets fell like raindrops on the car.

The passenger door, left open, slapped against the car frame, fluttering like leaves in the rain.

Seeing this scene, Heish raised her right hand, slender threads flying from her hands, wrapping around the passenger door handle, and she yanked it fiercely, propelling herself into the air, grabbing onto the passenger door and smoothly landing on the passenger seat.

"Buckle up."

He Ao locked the passenger door, glanced at Heish, who was retracting her threads, and quickly spoke.

"Huh?"

Everything had happened so quickly, Heish hadn’t caught what He Ao said.

"Ah!"

But she soon understood He Ao’s meaning as an immense force pushed her back into the passenger seat almost instantly.

He Ao floored the pedal, charging towards the light ahead.

That was the exit of the underground parking lot.

When he first parked, he had chosen a spot near the exit, constantly moving closer to it with Heish during the fight.

The one who set this trap was a hunter who liked a gradual approach, starting with ordinary people attacking with heavy rifles, then steadily increasing firepower and strength, aiming to trap He Ao and Heish in this underground parking lot.

In such a situation, the best way to handle it was to violently break through before all his forces could be deployed.

The development was so rapid that the vehicles surrounding them had no time to react before He Ao had seized a car and charged at them.

A few cars grouped together were rammed directly open by He Ao, creating a path to the exit.

And at that moment, a silver off-road vehicle much larger than the rest, like a bull on the prairie, also charged out of the cluster of cars, hot on the heels of He Ao’s vehicle.

He Ao looked through the rearview mirror at this large off-road vehicle closely following him. A red-haired, burly man was sitting in the passenger seat, now raising his arm.

A silver injection vial was firmly in his grasp.
