Chapter 654: Chapter 628: Long Wait

After control, there must be output.

Gao Yi’s attack range is still short. Standing at the corner between the second and third floors, hitting the people blocking the fire exit on the third floor is a bit difficult. Although he can quickly dash to the third floor, if anyone reacts and fires a couple of shots at him, he’d be done for.

But Lucy is behind Gao Yi.

Lucy has remained silent because Gao Yi has already dealt with the enemies without her needing to fire. Now, after Gao Yi has successfully controlled the crowd and fallen into stiff disarray, Lucy immediately raises her hand and fires two shots.

Bang bang; two gunshots, and the two people blocking the fire exit fall to the ground.

There was no attack more difficult than this, and none simpler either.

With Lucy’s two shots, there was no longer any threat outside the fire door, and Gao Yi broke out of his brief stiff state, taking two steps for every three, he hopped onto the entrance of the third-floor fire exit.

Looking up, behind the fire door was indeed another person, a man in a suit holding a pistol.

Gao Yi thought this one was the leader. He looked at the last enemy, whose raised handgun posed no threat. So, he tilted his head, reached out and grabbed the man’s wrist, gently twisted it, and softly said, "Don’t move!"

The handgun fell to the ground with a thud.

"Don’t kill me!"

With his body twisting awkwardly with his wrist, the enemy’s first words were a plea for mercy, then he spoke with a somewhat confused voice: "Please, don’t kill me."

Gao Yi was a bit stunned because this was not the voice he had just heard.

Looking up, the layout of the third floor was different from the second. The second floor was partitioned into workspaces with glass, but the third floor had a series of normal rooms.

At this moment, the crackle of gunfire erupted inside.

With the stairway cleared by Gao Yi, the pressure on Dani and the others was greatly reduced. They decisively seized the opportunity to rush upward, instead of waiting for Gao Yi to deal with the enemies from behind before advancing, as that would be too embarrassing.

Having the boss do everything is not acceptable.

A loud bang, distinct from an ordinary gunshot, signaling Dani’s shotgun, was soon followed by Sith barging into the third-floor corridor.

Spotting Gao Yi, Sith nodded, then pressed a rifle he’d just snatched from an enemy against the wall, clicking his tongue while signing in hand gestures to Gao Yi.

The building wasn’t large, but it wasn’t small either, with Gao Yi and Sith about thirty meters apart. At this distance, Gao Yi couldn’t make out Sith’s gestures clearly.

Gao Yi tightened his grip, causing the man’s body to twist further with the pain in his wrist, crying out, "It hurts, it’s going to snap..."

"Where is the man who was speaking earlier?"

"He... he’s on the third floor. I didn’t see which room he entered, but he should be here, perhaps on the fourth floor by now, maybe even the fifth."

Gao Yi paused momentarily, then sharply exerted force, causing the person bent to his limit to cry out, "I was just watching you guys, I wasn’t paying attention."

"How many are there inside?"

"No one else, just Little Andic and a doctor, on the fourth floor. They’re on the fourth floor."

Gao Yi loosened his grip slightly, allowing the captive to catch his breath, who quickly said, "We’re all on the same side, there’s no need for this. We don’t want this either but had no choice."

Gao Yi coldly asked, "Where’s my friend, Buck? Where is he?"

"Buck’s on the third floor, right here on the third floor! He was just being interrogated!"

Gao Yi released his grip entirely, saying in a deep voice, "Lead me to him. Walk ahead, and if anyone shoots, you’ll die first."

Just then, the elevator dinged suddenly, causing Sith and Lucy to aim at the elevator direction. After a short moment, as the elevator doors opened, Yuri said, "It’s me, don’t shoot."

The manager Yuri had just grabbed on the first floor was shoved out, with Yuri following closely. He glanced around and asked, "With so few people, splitting up for the assault, impressive. How’s it going now?"

Gao Yi pointed and said, "I don’t know, maybe still here, or they went up, you tell me."

"He should have gone up since the fourth floor has an escape door, but time-wise, he might not make it, so staying on the third floor is quite possible. But the fourth floor has a better escape route, so going there is more logical."

Gao Yi was getting a headache as the captive’s responses were all ambiguous nonsense. This guy had turned talking nonsense into an instinct, and even in life-threatening situations wouldn’t give a straight answer.

Yuri shrugged, gestured to Sith, and Dani came over with his shotgun, moving quickly but silently.

"Lead the way, let’s find Buck."

"This way, just over here..."

The man in a suit instinctively touched his wrist and softly pleaded, "Please don’t kill me, we’re not really enemies. This way, please. Our Red and Blue Group never interferes with you assassins, but this time there really was no choice."

Pleading while walking, the suited man led them to the door of a conference room.

The door had a sign: Conference Room.

He reached out to push the door, and with a bang from inside, he fell as the door opened. Though always pleading for mercy, after being forced to open the door, he was instantly hit by a bullet from his own side.

"Nobody move! Or I’ll kill him!"

The suited man, grimacing in pain, had been shot in the chest, struggling and crawling to the side in desperation.

A strong will to survive.

The conference room door opened, and Gao Yi thought for a moment, then stepped back.

The gunfire hadn’t sounded so close, so he left the breach entry to others.

Lucy and Dani moved forward, with Lucy standing at the door. As calmly as if opening her own bedroom door, she turned slightly and fired a shot.

With a single gunshot, Lucy paused to glance inside then casually said, "All clear."

Buck sat on a chair, hands cuffed, eyes wide, staring intently at the door.

Dani peeked inside, seeing a bald man with a gun down next to Buck, a bullet wound still bleeding from his forehead. A deadly shot from Lucy.

"Clear."

Dani remarked, prompting Gao Yi to leisurely enter the conference room, addressing the shocked Buck: "Are you alright?"

Buck suddenly blurted, "He’s the boss here, how did... he get shot?"

Gao Yi was stunned, as were Lucy and Dani.

After a brief moment of shock, Gao Yi quickly said, "It’s okay, your safety is more important. Sorry to have kept you waiting."
