Chapter 14. Based on what Gu Sheng discovered when he climbed up, this...
According to Gu Sheng's observations when he climbed up, there was a patrol team on every other floor of the building.
So, just go to the floor where there are no people.
This was not a problem for Gu Sheng at all.
He chose to enter the twenty-first floor, where no one was patrolling.
Then, bypassing the patrol team, they arrived at the twenty-eighth floor without much effort.
Upon reaching this floor, there were more patrols.
Gu Sheng guessed that he must be very close to Jiang Yuan, and if Jiang Yuan wasn't on this floor, he must be on the 29th floor.
Gu Sheng hid in the shadows, carefully observing the patrol teams.
Given the alert level here, it would be virtually impossible for Gu Sheng to proceed without alerting anyone.
He looked up at the ceiling.
After confirming that no one was around, Gu Sheng nimbly jumped up.
When Gu Sheng opened the vent, his face was covered in dust.
The moment he inhaled the dust, he felt an itch in his nose and wanted to sneeze.
Gu Sheng immediately jumped down quietly, covering his mouth and nose, barely managing to prevent himself from sneezing.
He's very sensitive to dust. There's so much dust in the vents. If he walks up there, he'll be miserable before he even finds Jiang Yuan.
The idea of entering through the vent was rejected by Gu Sheng.
We'll have to try other methods.
Gu Sheng observed for a while, then moved to a more convenient location to take action.
Their patrols had no gaps, so Gu Sheng decided to create one himself, taking care of one patrol team first.
Those patrolmen were in groups of three, so it would be quite difficult to deal with them silently.
Gu Sheng closed his eyes and listened carefully, trying to discern the sounds outside. He heard a group of people approaching him.
Hearing footsteps approaching, Gu Sheng deliberately kicked a pebble.
In the silent darkness, the sound of pebbles was unusually clear, immediately attracting the attention of the group.
Who is it?
As they spoke, those men walked towards them, guns in hand.
Gu Sheng also took out a gun, the shock gun.
This gun finally came in handy.
Exactly three bullets, but I don't know how quickly the drug will take effect.
The three patrol members were divided into three groups: one led the way, another followed behind on guard, and the last kept a distance from the two in front to observe the surroundings.
As Gu Sheng listened to the approaching footsteps, he had already figured out how to deal with the three of them.
The flashlight beam arrived before the footsteps, but Gu Sheng was hidden in a corner, so the light couldn't reach him.
The person at the front quickly reached the place where Gu Sheng was hiding.
Gu Sheng gripped the gun tightly, and then, after the person in front moved within his reach, he quickly grabbed the man's neck, silencing him, and simultaneously knocked the gun from his hand.
The moment the gun fell to the ground, Gu Sheng caught it with his foot, reducing the sound of the gun hitting the ground.
Then, before the person behind them could react, Gu Sheng fired a shot into his abdomen. Then, before the person a little further away could react, he fired again, this time hitting that person in the shoulder.
The two people who were hit immediately lost focus and fell to the ground.
Gu Sheng let out a soft breath. It seemed that the gun was quite effective; it was quiet and had a good effect.
Gu Sheng grabbed the person in front with one hand, grabbed the person behind him with the other, and then stretched out his leg to hook the last person.
He then gently placed the two people behind him on the ground before he had time to look at the person in his hand.
The man being choked was already rolling his eyes; any later and he would have died.
Gu Sheng loosened his grip, allowing him a brief respite.
The man looked at Gu Sheng with a terrified expression and said in a hoarse voice, "Who are you? What do you want? This is Brother Jiang's territory. If Brother Jiang finds out, you're dead."
Still being stubborn?
Gu Sheng gently tightened her grip, making it difficult for the man to breathe again.
The man struggled desperately, but he soon realized that his struggles were in vain.
The man screamed desperately, "No, don't kill me!" But all he could make were breathy sounds.
Gu Sheng hadn't intended to kill anyone. He let go of the man again, but he kept him because he had some questions to ask.
Gu Sheng made a "shh" gesture and said, "Keep your voice down."
The man nodded frantically, afraid that if he was too slow to react, Gu Sheng would grab his neck again.
Gu Sheng smiled, picked up the gun from the ground, and then completely released the man.
Gu Sheng pointed the gun at the man and said, "Move those two over here first, and don't make a sound."
The man, trembling, followed Gu Sheng's instructions and moved the two people lying on the ground to the place where Gu Sheng had just been hiding.
Then Gu Sheng told the man to squat down, and he squatted down as well.
Gu Sheng surveyed his surroundings and, after confirming that nothing was amiss, asked, "What are you doing here?"
The man answered cautiously, "We...we've always been here. Everyone around here knows that."
Gu Sheng asked, "You all know? I've never heard of it."
The man said, "You probably don't live here."
Gu Sheng did not answer, which was taken as tacit agreement.
The man said, "We've been stationed here for a long time. The people in charge around here are all Brother Jiang's friends. It's kind of an unspoken agreement. People from outside don't come in, and we don't go out casually either, so we've always been at peace."
It turns out this is Jiang Yuan's lair.
Gu Sheng said, "So you send so many people to patrol every day?" Since there is no trouble, is it necessary to send so many people to patrol?
The man said, "No, although we usually arrange patrols, we don't usually send this many people. Today, almost everyone has come out. I heard that someone is coming."
As he spoke, the man glanced at Gu Sheng, who seemed to realize that the person they were waiting for was right in front of him.
The man swallowed hard, unable to fathom how Gu Sheng had managed to get here despite all the obstacles.
Gu Sheng continued, "So if you encountered that person, what would you do?"
The man said, "It's not mentioned here. Since it's not specifically stated, we'll assume we'll handle it the way we always have..."
Seeing the man stop, Gu Sheng asked, "How?"
The man said tremblingly, "If the intruder does not resist, we will lock him up first. If he resists..." He glanced at Gu Sheng and continued cautiously, "If he resists, he will be executed on the spot."
Would Gu Sheng resist in this situation? He definitely would.
This is no different from directly ordering Gu Sheng to be killed.
Gu Sheng finally asked, "Is Jiang Yuan here?"
The man nodded: "Yes, it's on the top floor."
Gu Sheng was very satisfied with the man's answer.
He then gave the last shock bullet to the man, put the man and the other two together, and then searched the three of them for all the guns and bullets, taking them with him.
After dealing with one group of people, the patrol had a gap, and Gu Sheng easily made it to the 29th floor.
This floor is different from the ones below; there's a door here.
It was quiet outside; there wasn't a soul in sight.
There were so many people on the lower floor, but not a single person here. Gu Sheng didn't believe it wasn't intentional.
Since he was already here, even if there were traps inside, Gu Sheng had to go in and take a look.
He stood in front of the door, his hand on it, but did not immediately push it open.
Gu Sheng looked at the door in front of him, withdrew his hand, stood against the wall to one side of the door, and then gently pushed the door open.
The moment Gu Sheng pushed open the door, he regretted it.
"Squeak"
The door emitted a sharp, screeching sound that made Gu Sheng's teeth ache.
The door hinges need lubricating.
The door opened, and Gu Sheng held his breath, carefully discerning the sounds inside.
There were breathing sounds, lots and lots of breathing sounds, and there were people inside, at least twenty or more.
The people inside didn't move, and neither did Gu Sheng.
After a two-minute standoff, someone inside spoke up: "Since you're already here, don't just stand outside, come in."
It was Jiang Yuan's voice.
Gu Sheng didn't move. He remained silent for a while, put the gun away, and then went into the room.
Gu Sheng knew that even if he didn't go in, Jiang Yuan wouldn't let him leave easily.
Gu Sheng stood at the doorway. In the darkness, he could vaguely see a person sitting on a high place directly opposite him. Apart from that person, everyone else was standing. That person must be Jiang Yuan.
"They're here?" The moment Jiang Yuan finished speaking, two powerful lights came on, and Gu Sheng instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes from the light.
The moment Gu Sheng raised his hand, he heard the sound of guns being released from safety around him.
After his eyes adjusted to the light, Gu Sheng spread out his hands, indicating that he hadn't taken anything.
He looked at Jiang Yuan and paused for a moment.
Everyone around was dressed in black suits, except for Jiang Yuan, who was wearing casual clothes. He had a half-smile on his face and his gaze met Gu Sheng's.
She was quite good-looking, but her yellow-green hair was something Gu Sheng simply couldn't understand.
Jiang Yuan waved his hand, and the others put their guns down.
Jiang Yuan got up from his seat: "I knew I hadn't misjudged you."
Gu Sheng looked at Jiang Yuan and said, "What do those people mean? You sent me here, yet you arranged for people to stop me?"
As he spoke, Gu Sheng glanced around the room out of the corner of his eye.
There were seventeen people around Jiang Yuan, and four snipers above him. Jiang Yuan had made ample preparations to meet them.
Although the men below had lowered their guns, the snipers above hadn't; they could take Gu Sheng's life at any moment.
Jiang Yuan said, "Escape is very dangerous. I'm doing this for your own good, so you can get used to it in advance."
Even ghosts wouldn't believe that.
Gu Sheng sneered: "What if you can't adapt?"
Jiang Yuan shrugged: "That means you're not suitable to travel with me. I'll have someone send you back."
Send them back? Back where? To hell's old home?
Jiang Yuanchao stretched out his hand: "Let's get down to business first, where's the stuff?"
Gu Sheng certainly didn't bring the items; he wasn't really planning to give the gems to Jiang Yuan.
Gu Sheng looked at Jiang Yuan without saying anything, as he was estimating the distance between himself and the door.
He was about two steps away from the door behind him.
"A gemstone?" Gu Sheng said, reaching his hand inside his clothes. The people around him immediately raised their guns.
Gu Sheng stopped what he was doing and looked at Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan stared intently at Gu Sheng's hand. He waved his hand and said impatiently, "Who gave you permission to take a gun?"
The people around looked at each other in bewilderment. Didn't you tell us to keep a close eye on this person and to shoot if he made any unusual movements?
However, to them, Jiang Yuan's words were the truth, so they put down their guns again, but their eyes were still wary as they looked at Gu Sheng.
Jiang Yuan urged, "Give me the things."
Gu Sheng gripped the gun hidden in his clothes and said, "If I give you the thing, will you let me go?"
Jiang Yuan said, "What are you talking about? What do you mean by letting me go or not? I was planning to take you with me when I escaped. Give me the stuff, and we'll leave here right away."
Gu Sheng lifted his foot, making a walking motion, and Jiang Yuan looked at Gu Sheng expectantly.
However, Gu Sheng did not move forward. Instead, he took a step back in this posture. The sniper above reacted first, and a bullet grazed Gu Sheng's nose.
Gu Sheng moved quickly. He jumped backward, took out his gun and aimed it at the two lamps above. The moment he jumped out of the room, he shattered the two lamps with two shots, and then dodged to the side of the door.
The room was plunged into darkness in an instant.
Only then did the others realize what was happening.
Jiang Yuan cursed and then said, "I knew you had a problem," he sighed, "It's just a pity that Qian Xubai took the blame for you."
Gu Sheng also felt sorry for the shop assistant named Qian Xubai, working under such a madman.
Gu Sheng had previously thought that Jiang Yuan killed Qian Xubai because he trusted him too much, but now Gu Sheng felt that it was just that he simply wanted to kill someone.
Then, Gu Sheng heard Jiang Yuan say, "You can't escape," and then he said coldly, "Kill him and take the stuff."
Gu Sheng heard a group of footsteps approaching him. To make matters worse, footsteps also came from downstairs. The gunshot earlier had drawn the people downstairs up.
Gu Sheng didn't want to kill anyone, but now if he didn't, people would kill him.
Gu Sheng weighed the gun in his hand; it had ten bullets.
He took out an unused magazine, placed it in the most convenient spot, and added ten to ten, making twenty bullets.
Besides Jiang Yuan, there are 21 other people inside, including four snipers. If you remove the snipers, there are seventeen people.
Gu Sheng took a deep breath, then raised his gun and rushed out. His footsteps were so light they were almost inaudible. In the darkness, those inside only saw a dark shadow pass by.
After a burst of gunfire, Gu Sheng moved from one side of the door to the other.
The people inside didn't have time to aim and could only fire randomly, missing every shot. However, many of the people standing at the front of the group fell down.
Gu Sheng fired four shots, not wasting a single one.
Gu Sheng felt that the current method was too inefficient, but he didn't have a better solution.
After the person in front fell down, the people behind started pushing each other, unwilling to move forward.
Then Gu Sheng heard a gunshot ring out in the room, followed by the sound of someone falling to the ground. Then Gu Sheng heard Jiang Yuan say, "Don't back down! With so many of you, are you afraid of just one person? Go kill him, kill him, kill him!"
Jiang Yuan helped Gu Sheng deal with one person.
Gu Sheng couldn't help but complain about Jiang Yuan's brutality again. Where did Ouroboros find this ferocious god? And how could he dare to use someone like that?
After Jiang Yuan fired his gun, the crowd instantly descended into chaos. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Sheng rushed to the door, fired six shots into the room to empty the magazine, and then retreated behind the door.
Just as Gu Sheng turned around, a bullet grazed his temple.
It's the sniper above.
This is such a hassle.
Gu Sheng frowned and quickly changed the magazine on his gun.
Now, besides the sniper and Jiang Yong, there are six people left inside.
The six men were completely terrified. They had killed many people under Jiang Yong's command, and the tough guys they had encountered before were just a matter of sending more men and firing more shots.
This was the first time they had encountered someone like Gu, who dared to stand alone against so many of them and even gain the upper hand.
In the darkness, before they could even make out Gu Sheng's figure, they saw people around them fall one by one.
Is this really a human being?
While Gu Sheng was inwardly cursing Jiang Yuan for being inhuman, he was unaware that others shared the same opinion about him.
