Ji Muhan suddenly looked up and, almost reflexively, turned around and ran at the fastest speed he had ever seen in the direction where Shen Shaolin had just disappeared.
He had no idea what was going on with his heart, which was practically pounding out of his chest.
He didn't have time to think much; all he could do was keep running.
All I can do is pray in my heart that Mo Qing is with Shen Shaolin now.
As he descended to the lobby on the first floor, in the corridor leading to the restrooms, a man suddenly blocked his path. His low, hoarse voice was grating to the ear: "Don't move."
If it were just him alone, Ji Muhan could take him down in no time. The problem is that he is accompanied by several people who are agile and definitely not ordinary. It will take some time to deal with them.
The masked man was surrounded and protected like a star. Ji Muhan immediately recognized him as their target the moment she saw him.
No one else was wearing a mask except him, and he was also wearing a platinum watch, which is definitely not something an ordinary person can wear.
Such intuition is very strong. Special forces soldiers like them, who have undergone grueling training, have the most acute observation and intuition.
It's definitely him!
Ji Muhan quickly glanced at the figure behind him, which he had completely blocked, and her eyes instantly turned cold. Without wasting any words, she asked, "What do you want?"
"I want to leave safely."
The man's deep, hoarse voice was unpleasant to hear, yet it was also highly distinctive.
Clearly, this was his ultimate goal. Kidnapping Mo Qing might have been a fluke, or it might have been because…
Ji Muhan suppressed her anxiety. Even though she wished she could fly to her side immediately, she still had to calm down and make her voice sound as indifferent as possible. "Impossible, change it."
"This is my only condition."
"You know that's impossible. Try something else, something more constructive."
This would be advantageous to Mo Qing, who was being held hostage, since if they discovered that she and... her, they would inevitably make even more unreasonable demands on her.
“I don’t have any constructive requests, that’s all,”
The man curled his lips into an ambiguous smile, then said with unusually firm stubbornness, "I want to leave."
At this moment, Shen Shaolin and his group also arrived and stopped behind Ji Muhan, forming a standoff between the two sides.
Ji Muhan stared intently at the man whose only visible feature was his pair of sapphire blue eyes. The man, unfazed, returned her gaze. Even though he was wearing a mask, Ji Muhan had a feeling that he was smiling—a half-serious, half-fake smile…
The man chuckled twice, then threatened in a chilling, hoarse voice, "Or do you want such a beauty to lose her body temperature and become a corpse?"
“Captain,” Jin Hua frowned, speaking almost immediately after the man finished speaking, his voice full of disapproval.
It seemed to be preventing Ji Muhan from listening to that person's words.
After all, their mission this time was to uproot this whole operation, especially the drug lord. Although this mission was a last-minute assignment, it was something they had reported truthfully when they were summarizing their mission after returning from Yunnan last time.
So when the troops received news that the drug lord was having a party in a neighboring city that morning, they immediately rushed over.
The goal is to capture them all in one fell swoop. If we release them now, it would be like letting a tiger return to the mountains, making it much harder to catch them again.
Upon hearing the man's words, Shen Shaolin's expression turned somewhat serious. His thoughts were completely different from Jin Hua's. "Mu Han."
After all, there is only one Momo, and even if he escapes for now, he believes that they will be able to catch him again sooner or later!
Furthermore, he believed that Ji Muhan would make the same choice as him…
Ji Muhan naturally understood what Shen Shaolin meant. She pursed her thin lips into a straight line and said nothing.
He glanced at the other three people indifferently. It was clear that they shared the same thoughts as Shen Shaolin, but Jin Hua's concerns were not entirely without merit.
So they just pursed their lips and said nothing.
"You can leave, but you are not allowed to harm the hostages you hold." Ji Muhan paused, her eyes slightly cool, and fell on the delicate figure whose face he couldn't see because of her back to him. She frowned slightly in confusion.
Something just doesn't feel right...
But before he could think further, the man said again, "Heh, it seems the people I have are very important to you!"
The ambiguous tone carried a deeper meaning.
It seems to contain many emotions that are difficult to discern.
"..." Ji Muhan remained silent, neither admitting nor refuting his words. She simply calmly took out the gun hidden behind her back and threw it on the ground without hesitation to show her sincerity.
He didn't want to waste time on such a pointless question, especially since... the other party was an enemy during his mission.
"And theirs too." The man glanced at the guns in the hands of the men standing behind Ji Muhan.
Without a word, Shen Shaolin threw his gun onto the ground, and Qi Guang and the other two followed suit. Jin Hua remained silent for a moment, but finally threw his gun away as well.
The man chuckled softly, his hoarse voice unpleasant to hear, like a guitar with a broken string, producing a particularly piercing sound that seemed to be about to burst one's eardrums.
