Chapter 230: Why Use a Cow Blade, Meet Again (Third Update)
(Didn't write four updates, too ashamed to face anyone... Luckily, there are three updates, will try harder tomorrow, happy weekend everyone! (Turns out there were World Cup matches at 7:30 too, I thought it was only 10 o'clock and midnight))
Before reaching the dock, the taxi ahead stopped, followed by the one behind, and six people got out, one after another, and walked into a small alley beside the road.
Behind them, keeping a certain distance, there was a taxi that was continuously following. Due to being a taxi, they were everywhere, which is why no one noticed before. Seeing the two taxis in front stop, it slowed down a bit, but after seeing six people get out, it sped up a bit, arriving at the alley entrance just as the two taxis left.
Looking at the alley, there were few pedestrians inside, where were the six people? The taxi immediately turned and entered, not too fast, because the six people were walking, they couldn't have gone far.
The taxi slowly drove, the person inside looking around, primarily targeting restaurants. From the tracking along the way, it could be confirmed that the six hadn't had dinner yet. What happened at Cook's earlier, although not going inside, upon hearing gunshots and rushing over, the scene was chaotic, only seeing three gunmen shot and fallen. Without a doubt, this account was settled on the six of them. And the time was short, concluding they didn't have time to eat.
For him, there was no concern in following, because earlier at the factory, someone named God was already involved, at Cook's three assassins were involved again, for the six core members of 'their' organization, vigilance should be greatly reduced, so he was comfortable keeping a certain distance while tracking.
Just entered a segment of the street, there were several restaurants, none very large. From the timing, there were six people, even without choosing, had they entered one directly, by now they would just be entering the restaurant, still visible from outside, but unfortunately, he found nothing!
After seeing the cars park, he sped up immediately, unless the six took off running after a turn, otherwise they couldn't have gotten too far. Could it really be they've been discovered?
Hesitant, the slowly moving taxi continued a bit further. At this time, he saw two familiar figures!
'They' were entering a building corridor, as he saw them, four had already disappeared, only seeing the two in the back. He perked up, looking closely, noticing at the corridor entrance, was a red sign with advertising for Lou Feng.
Didn't even have a proper meal, yet came to find women? 'They' elite assassins of the organization, seeking such low-tier Lou Feng of a few hundred bucks? And six together?
He couldn't help but admire King, admire 'their' large appetite! Fearing losing track, he quickly parked the car and followed inside. Of course, he didn't truly believe King and the others were that desperate, maybe one of the prostitutes or the pimp there were also 'their' people, just like their meeting at a place resembling a factory today.
Upon rushing in, he saw the old elevator running up, the corridor was empty, he quickly pressed the elevator button. Watching, the elevator stopped on the seventh floor, waited for a while before coming back down. He was relieved, the advertisement for Lou Feng indicated the seventh floor.
He didn't wait for the elevator to come down, confirmed those who entered had gone to the seventh floor, he jogged up the stairs quickly. Against six people, he needed to be cautious. If they brought women or missed finding someone, the encounter might happen right at the elevator entrance, even if they didn't immediately act, suspicion might arise.
His physical condition was still good, the stairway lacked people or obstacles, only his footsteps echoed. Soon, he reached the seventh floor. At the last flight from the sixth to the seventh, he slowed somewhat, to soften his steps and steady slightly rapid breaths. At the seventh floor stairway entrance, he peeked out, finding the corridor empty, opened the door wider, listened, determining no one around. Then he stepped out and slowly approached the door with a pink light.
Not quite near, he saw the pink light turn off, followed by the sound of a door opening, then a woman's voice inside, "You're crazy! Either take turns one by one or leave! So many going at once? Even if I were the cyborg Transformer, I'd be worn out by you all!"
He couldn't help but break into a sweat, King actually brought 'their' elite to find a prostitute? And a special N-on-one preference?
Yan Ping's voice sounded inside, "Add a thousand, take it or leave it!"
"A thousand? Humph! What do you take me for?... At least add ten thousand!"
Liu Xi bargained, "Five thousand!"
"Five thousand? Okay, okay, if you really like it, I'll go all out..."
"Damn it! I'm done, I'm leaving!"
"Screw this! Should've left earlier..."
Hearing their voices in conversation, he did not continue forward. Seeing they were about to come out, his hand already moved to his waist. He had to make a decision immediately. Should he act here? He could catch them unprepared, but the corridor was small, they had six people, and those at the back might not be shot at once, having time to retreat to the room, and even the prostitute inside could shout, or even call the police...
Thinking of this, he quickly retreated to the stairwell. To buy more time to leave, better to head downstairs! When the elevator opens, he could easily shoot all six people inside the elevator.
Retreating to the stairwell, he swiftly opened the door, slipped inside, and prepared to continue running down the stairs, aiming to reach the elevator entrance before they called it up and rode it down. Unfortunately, he did not know that two people were already waiting for him!
Just as he slipped into the stairwell, he immediately noticed a dark figure rushing up from the eighth-floor landing. Unable to draw his gun in time, he could only counterattack, while at that moment, a person hidden in the corner behind the door lashed a belt around his neck, quickly tightening it!
As the grip tightened around his neck, the person behind quickly turned around, back against back, hoisting his body in the air, while the person in front grabbed his hands, preventing him from struggling.
It didn't take long; after a brief struggle, he succumbed under the assault of the two.
The person behind him continued strangling for a while longer before stopping. Supporting the limp body, Feng Wuqing complained slightly, "Front cover, rear ambush, why not just a stab and be done with it?"
At this moment, the door opened, and looking at the complaining Feng Wuqing along with Qi Zhongtao, Li Yan retorted, "And the blood traces? Just leave him here? Are you willing to be wanted? He wasn't seen by anyone, yet he knew to go downstairs and ambush us, while we were recognized."
With that said, Feng Wuqing came to his senses. "Should Liu Xi take the body back for disposal? But isn't it inconvenient by car?"
"Didn't he prepare a car himself?"
He was a foreigner, so before confirming his identity, everyone immediately acted together to take his body away. After getting off the car, Li Yan led them quickly inside, having already devised a plan by the time they arrived. He briefly outlined the temporary plan, and the others volunteered to join, no matter who this person was, or if the target was King, all five felt using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
So, Li Yan just gave a slight hint, saying that he probably wouldn't use the elevator, more likely would take the stairs. After going up, Feng Wuqing and Qi Zhongtao had already arrived at the stairwell, waiting on the eighth floor for him to come up. When he entered the corridor on the seventh floor, the two immediately stood ready to ambush. Liu Xi and Yan Ping's haggling with Lou Feng was naturally a ruse, estimating the timing right, that the person had come up, hence the pretense.
Everything went smoothly, and with absolute advantage, they didn't miss.
Upon reaching downstairs, the taxi the foreigner arrived in was conveniently used for Liu Xi. None of them felt like eating anymore, so Liu Xi took the foreigner's body back, accompanied by Shi Jian'en and Feng Wuqing to guard against any mishaps. Li Yan, Yan Ping, and Qi Zhongtao didn't linger here or eat, opting to find a taxi and leave separately.
Li Yan was not very familiar with Cloud Island and Yunhuan, only knowing a little. Returning to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel was inconvenient, recalling Liu Xi's recommendation earlier, he directed the driver to the nearby Cloud Island Four Seasons Hotel. It was closer from here than it was from the Prince Mansion, turning into Financial Street and along the International Finance Center Mall.
Unexpectedly, upon quickly reaching the hotel, they informed him that there were no available rooms at this hour, leaving Li Yan a bit disappointed. He thought since he needed to call Yue Yao to discuss today's events anyway, he might as well have her check online for nearby hotels with vacancies and reserve before heading over. First, he needed to find a safe place to make the call...
"Hello, there. Are you staying here too?"
Li Yan didn't need to turn around; he already saw the older and younger pair coming in from outside. He had met them not long ago, and speaking was that young, delicate-looking girl.
He frowned slightly, worried she might cling to him, immediately shaking his head, "I'm not staying here, they're fully booked."
"Fully booked? Then you don't have a place to stay?" Nian Yufei perked up excitedly, "Grandpa Mu, don't we have an extra room? Can we..."
The serious-looking old man immediately came up to Li Yan, lowering his voice, "Sir, you're aware we had a bodyguard incident, hence an extra room. If you don't mind the suspicion of being used as a bodyguard, we'd be grateful if the young lady could have a chance to return the favor."
Li Yan felt a bit overwhelmed, not wanting her gratitude, so he refused again, "We are a group. One room won't suffice. I appreciate the gesture, but I must go!"
Nian Yufei, seeing him again tonight, although he no longer recognized her, was extremely excited. She had felt disappointed earlier for not exchanging contact information, and now encountering him again so soon, how could she let him go?
