Hello, Mr. Major General

Realizing that he could not dissuade Gu Nianzhi, Zhao Liangze’s mood was as chaotic as a roller coaster. Acting on impulse, he also drew his gun and fought alongside Gu Nianzhi.The gunfire resounded throughout the sixth floor of the bank basement, like small explosions.

The men accompanying Li Dexi were his most elite personnel, so they were even more powerful than the snipers who had previously ambushed them from the roof beams.

They reacted quickly and immediately drew their guns to fire back.

However, Li Dexi had strictly ordered them not to hurt Gu Nianzhi, and, in order to avoid her, they were a little more restrained and did not exert their full strength.

Thanks to Gu Nianzhi, Zhao Liangze was able to roll across the ground and avoid being shot several times.

Gu Nianzhi also discovered that she made the correct bet. The other party was determined to kidnap her, so they didn’t want to hurt her.

Now she finally understood why Li Dexi had put in so much effort and set up such a complicated trap in order to draw her into his game.

Unfortunately, he must know about her special genetic make-up.

How did he know about it?

Gu Nianzhi’s brain worked quickly, but her fingers did not stop pulling the trigger.

However, the opponents were wearing bulletproof vests, so they only staggered back to regain their balance, even when she hit them in the chest several times.

She also wanted to be like Huo Shaoheng and his men, who could shoot at any target with great accuracy. Although her marksmanship was good, she still couldn’t compare to real soldiers.

With face to face shooting, it was easier to hit larger parts of the opponent’s body such as the chest and the back.

It was actually very difficult to shoot at smaller areas such as the opponent’s arms, legs, and head during a face-to-face battle.

Even Zhao Liangze was only able to shoot two of Li Dexi’s most elite men in the head.

He was shot in the shoulder by the enemy!

The firepower of the VSK-94 suppressed sniper rifle was fully displayed. Although the powerful penetrating force did not go through Zhao Liangze’s body armor, it still hit him so hard that he slammed back into the black iron cabinets!

The huge force from the reaction made Zhao Liangze spit out a mouthful of blood. For a moment, he seemed to lose connection to his memories, and his vision turned black.

Gu Nianzhi hurriedly rushed over to stand in front of Zhao Liangze.

Standing amidst the raining bullets, Bai Shuang looked very sorrowful, yet her eyes sparkled brightly.

She carefully stared at Li Dexi and suddenly walked over.

Li Dexi’s people held their guns and stood protectively in front of Li Dexi. One by one, they aimed directly at Gu Nianzhi and Zhao Liangze, who were lying on the ground.

Gu Nianzhi was able to shield most of Zhao Liangze, so only half of his head was exposed.

In order to kill Zhao Liangze, their only option was to shoot at half his exposed head and risk hurting Gu Nianzhi if they were not careful.

Although these people were extremely impatient and wanted nothing more than to shoot both Gu Nianzhi and Zhao Liangze together, they didn’t dare disobey Li Dexi.

They knew better than anyone else exactly how terrifying this man was.

Under Li Dexi’s iron fist, no one dared to disobey his orders.

The elite snipers only need a few seconds to lock onto the target.

Gu Nianzhi was fearless.

Zhao Liangze tried to get up and keep Gu Nianzhi hidden behind him.

Bai Shuang looked back at Zhao Liangze and Gu Nianzhi, then suddenly rushed towards Li Dexi. Grabbing his arm, she said with a raspy voice, “You have all the data already. Why aren’t you leaving?!”

“I must take Gu Nianzhi with us.” Li Dexi pushed Bai Shuang away, then raised a finger to point to Gu Nianzhi, who was trying to shield Zhao Liangze. “Someone go over there. Gag her and drag her away!”

Bai Shuang’s eyelids twitched.

She stared intently at the letter in Li Dexi’s hand, and countless memories suddenly flashed through her mind.

She was a young child, babbling as she sat with her parents.

When she was six years old, she carried her school bag and went to school for the first time under the bright autumn sunshine of the Imperial Capital.

When she was 14 years old, she received a love letter from a classmate for the first time. At the age of 18, she was admitted to the China Foreign Affairs University, and then her relatives and friends popped champagne to celebrate with her.

She became a national spokesperson at the age of 26 and had a bright future…

She closed her eyes, and the letter that she had read with Gu Nianzhi just now flashed through her mind. The names written on it were like the life force of all those individuals supporting her beliefs.

That letter must not fall into Li Dexi’s hands!

At that moment, a series of gunshots suddenly sounded from the steel ceiling beams on the sixth floor of the basement.

The gunshots muffled with silencers were short and arrogant, passing through the air like meteors briefly flashing by.

Huo Shaoheng led his team of Special Operations Forces field personnel and jumped down from the ceiling beam. He pulled on the chain while holding his submachine gun in midair to shoot at the standing bodyguards!

They were professional soldiers. In this life-and-death situation, their marksmanship was much more accurate than that of ordinary men.

Men paid attention when locking onto targets, while these soldiers paid attention to killing the enemy!

Each enemy was killed by one bullet. Not a single one was missed, and they never retreated!

“Ah–!”

The elite personnel surrounding Li Dexi widened their eyes in surprise. As they looked at the soldiers in camouflage uniforms who descended from the ceiling beam like holy soldiers, they forgot even to fight back.

They thought that the soldiers were on their side!

But before they had time to question where their own men went, they fell to the ground as corpses.

Li Dexi was shocked, but he dodged and backed up quickly to smoothly twist the nearby Bai Shuang’s hands behind her back. He shielded himself with her body.

A reinforced concrete wall was behind him, and his human shield, Bai Shuang, was in front of him. Bai Shuang was even taller than him, so it was truly difficult to shoot him.

Huo Shaoheng landed on one leg right beside Gu Nianzhi and Zhao Liangze.

He pulled Gu Nianzhi up to protect her in his embrace while looking at Zhao Liangze. He asked with concern, “…Are you okay?”

Zhao Liangze shook his head, his expression heartbroken. “I’m fine,” he replied.

He didn’t have any gunshot wounds, but the shot from the bullet was so powerful that he knew his shoulder must be severely bruised, and the pain clawed at his heart.

But while physical pain could be tolerated, heartache cannot be suppressed.

Zhao Liangze slowly stood up while propping himself against the black iron cabinets.

Li Dexi and Bai Shuang were the only ones still standing in front of them since all the others had been killed.

Huo Shaoheng was surrounded by his own men, each emitting their own murderous aura. Their black submachine guns were tilted slightly outwards in anticipation of shooting holes into Li Dexi and Bai Shuang.

The situation changed too quickly, so Gu Nianzhi’s mind was still in a sluggish state for a short moment.

She held Huo Shaoheng’s arm firmly, refusing to let go no matter what.

Across from them, hiding behind Bai Shuang, Li Dexi sneered, “You don’t want the data anymore? You worked so hard to come here and even held yourself out as bait – was it not all for this data?! Huo Shaoheng, you are too cunning!”

Huo Shaoheng squinted his eyes. He didn’t even bother to talk to Li Dexi and merely stated, “Give the letter back to us, and I will promise to leave your corpse intact.”

“Hehe, you’re lying even at a time like this!” Li Dexi suddenly pushed Bai Shuang away and pulled at his tuxedo to reveal his bulletproof vest and a circle of grenades tied around his waist!

“MK8A9 – the latest US military-grade attack grenade. One will be enough to send you to your god. What do you think? Do you want to die with me?” Li Dexi gave Huo Shaoheng a wide grin as he patted the grenades on his body.

This type of grenade was very sturdy, with each containing at least three hundred grams of compressed TNT. The fuse had to be lit in order to cause the explosion, and it was extremely powerful.

Some grenades also had steel balls inside. After the explosives detonated, the steel balls would cause a second wave of devastating blows to the human body!

Almost instantly, Huo Shaoheng’s advantage was obliterated.

Li Dexi alone could send them all to hell together!

Huo Shaoheng remained motionless, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.

He slowly raised his gun and asked coldly, “…Do you think I’m afraid?”

At that moment, Bai Shuang bit her lip and turned around to hug Li Dexi with her left hand.

Her body blocked him, as well as the grenades around his waist. An alarm instantly went off inside Li Dexi’s head.

Before Li Dexi even reacted, Bai Shuang had raised her right hand. Somehow, she already had a pistol in her hand.

The exquisite silver pistol gleamed brightly as she pressed it directly against Li Dexi’s aorta.

There was no bulletproof vest protecting him there. Aside from the brain, the aorta was the weakest and most deadly target.

Bai Shuang was taller than him and had been dragged in front of him to be used as a shield. Huo Shaoheng and the others couldn’t aim at Li Dexi’s aorta.

But now Bai Shuang’s loyalties had shifted and she pointed her gun at him, so the situation had reversed once again!

Li Dexi was heartbroken. His eyes bored holes into Bai Shuang as he pointed at Huo Shaoheng and demanded angrily, “What are you going to do?! Are you crazy?! He was the one who murdered your father!”

As he said this, he used one hand to hold a gun against Bai Shuang’s waist while trying to push her away.

Bai Shuang did not hesitate to pull the trigger and said with a sneer, “Give the letter back to us!!”

Li Dexi instinctively moved the hand that was holding the gun.

Bai Shuang’s body shuddered slightly, and her expression suddenly stiffened, but she still gritted her teeth and grabbed the letter from Li Dexi.

Li Dexi’s leg went soft, and he fell to the ground.

Huo Shaoheng’s men jumped up at this time, pulling Bai Shuang away and firing several shots at Li Dexi’s head as he laid on the ground. After confirming that he was actually dead, they removed the grenades from around his waist.

After checking carefully, they reported, “The grenades were not timed!”

Huo Shaoheng nodded and said, “Clean up the battlefield and retreat!”

He strode over and glanced at Bai Shuang with sudden shock. “Are you injured?”

Bai Shuang’s face was pale as a ghost, and her lips were completely devoid of color.

She slowly raised the letter in her hand. “The letter…”
