Chapter 644: The Building Under the Night

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Dihao Towers at night seemed nearby, but it was prolonged when one tried to get over there by car.

In particular, a car accident just happened around the intersection.

The Maserati was attention-grabbing; the owner who abandoned the car was even more attention-grabbing.

The traffic police were dealing with the accident. A crowd of people gathered to watch the accident, which seriously obstructed the traffic.

When Ding Yifan managed to arrive at the ground level of Dihao Towers, 10 minutes had already pa.s.sed.

“Boss! We’ve here.” Ding Yifan heaved a sigh of relief.

“Mm.” Bai Muchuan looked up. “Can we park our car here?”

“Yes!” There was a white line, which indicates that cars could park there.

Bai Muchuan nodded and gave Xiang Wan a hug. “Wait for me to return.”

“Alright!” Xiang Wan had her haversack with her, and she took out her laptop. “I’ll write my chapter here in the car. Rest a.s.sured.”

Time tended to move faster when one was busy with something.

She couldn’t feel bored if she had something to do.

Bai Muchuan squeezed her hand. “Good!”

…

…

Dihao Towers belonged to the Xing Family in the Capital.

Xing Liehuo’s younger sister, Xing Xiaojiu, managed it. However, after getting married, she built another office building, and Dihao Towers had been on lease since. At this moment, the businesses on the lower floors were brightly lit, selling a wide variety of goods. There were a lot of people, and companies seemed to be thriving.

The second floor was mainly businesses in the food industry.

Several restaurants had long queues, and it was also very crowded.

The third floor mainly offered entertainment.

Children and adults alike sing and dance to enjoy and relax.

Fourth floor…

Fifth floor…

Sixth floor…

The upper floors were offices on rent, which at this hour, everyone should have knocked off from work.

The number of lighted offices decreased while one looked higher.

This was because there were more empty offices on the higher floors.

Those places that had no lights were dark and gloomy.

“The elevator has been switched off,” said Ding Yifan in a low tone, “even the escalator’s not turned on as well.”

“It’s so late already, and no one’s coming up anyway. Why is there a need to leave them on?” Salimu mumbled in response.

At this time, Tang Yuanchu and Wei Bing had arrived as well as another two detectives of Serious Crime Division One. Everyone felt uneasy when they saw the situation at this building.

“This scene feels so familiar…”

“The murderer’s script?”

“Correct!”

“Can we get through Xie Wanwan’s phone?”

“… Her phone’s switched off.”

Tang Yuanchu kept dialing her number, but there was no response.

“Be careful, everyone!” Bai Muchuan looked at the long stairways in the dark and took out his gun slowly as he walked up step by step. “Follow me!”

“Yes!” Everyone followed.

Salimu followed behind him, looking at his back; his forehead seemed to become cold as he walked.

“Boss, why did I have a chilly feeling in my heart—”

“What are you afraid of?”

“Do you think there’s a sniper gun already aiming at our heads?”

“There might be!” Bai Muchuan spoke solemnly, “So are you up for this?”

“Of… course!” Salimu was rather timid, so he answered with a little hesitation. “If I lost my life, how much compensation money will there be?”

“Just scram! Stop talking nonsense,” mumbled Tang Yuanchu as he patted his back then moved to his left. “Boss has already informed the Special Police.”

“Oh… I’m just worried they wouldn’t be here in time.”

“Shut up!”

Bai Muchuan suddenly turned around and reprimanded them.

Everyone looked at his sharp gaze and became more serious.

“When on a mission, talk less and observe your surroundings!”

“Yes, Sir!”

They continued to walk up the steps.

Step by step, the scene was frightening.

It felt as though a scene in a movie that something was about to happen.

The psychological hint that took root in their mind because of the murderer’s script made them extremely nervous.

“Will Xie Wanwan be here?” Salimu couldn’t resist mumbling again. “Can we shout for her?”

“Don’t!” Bai Muchuan sent a glare over. “Just follow me!”

Before entering the building, Bai Muchuan not only contacted the Special Police, but he also called up Xing Liehuo to understand the situation about the management of Dihao Towers. After that, he contacted Bai Muxuan. Previously, Bai Muxuan had come to look for him to represent Red Thorn. Therefore, it was alright for him to receive their help.

Initially, he didn’t want to activate them.

However, Bai Muchuan had a bad premonition about it…

However, for safety reasons, he thought he should inform Red Thorn about it.

He believed that Bai Muxuan would come fast. Hence, he was rather slow when they walked up the stairs…

…

“Here already… Hur!”

Somewhere in the building, a pair of eyes were looking at the people climbing up the stairs from the scope of his sniper rifle.

“Bai Muchuan…”

He muttered under his breath, a corner of his lips quirked upwards.

“You wanna play, huh?…

“Is it fun?

“It will…

“It’s going to be really fun…”

He was talking to himself; his eyes were flashing in excitement. His night-vision sniper goggles aimed at the stairs and suddenly pulled the trigger.

Thud! The bullet hit the stairs and created some sparks.

The sound of the gunshot had been controlled by the suppressor in the sniper rifle. Thus, the crowd downstairs heard nothing.

It was noisy and crowded as usual downstairs. The music from the stores and all these noises even covered the sound of the gunshot…

Bai Muchuan saw the spot that had some sparks. He quickly hid in a corner and waved to everyone. “There’s a sniper.”

“Oh, no, oh, no! There’s really a sniper who’s aiming at my head. Why did I mention a sniper earlier? Bad things come true, but good things don’t… Touchwood, touchwood… I don’t like the compensation money; I don’t want to be a hero; I don’t want to die. I haven’t gotten married yet…” Salimu was so nervous that he started to mumble in a low tone.

n.o.body answered him.

Everyone was alert.

They were highly trained detectives.

Whereas Salimu was specially recruited to join the Criminal Investigation Division then transferred to Serious Crime Division One.

Those who were trained differed from him. He was like a Forensics Team officer.

Bai Muchuan looked towards him. “You go down now to look for Xiang Wan.”

Salimu wished that he could fly away from such a tense moment, but his feet refused to budge like roots had grown from it and pierced the ground.

He gulped and looked at his colleagues. “Forget it. I should stay with my comrades, whether alive or dead… I shouldn’t be such a wuss.”

Bai Muchuan frowned. “Go down! Or… you can stay here.”

“If so…” Salimu contemplated for a moment. “In order not to drag everyone down, I better stay here and be a backup instead.”

The corner of the stairways could protect them since the bullets of the sniper rifle wouldn’t be able to penetrate through the walls. It was a much safer option for him to just stay there.

Bai Muchuan stared at him for a moment and didn’t bother with him anymore.

“The rest of you follow me!”

“Yes, Sir!” Now that they knew that there was a sniper in this building somewhere upstairs, they would definitely need to get him.

Although the other party had a sniper, even if they knew that there was a bomb or a nuclear bomb, they wouldn’t back off either.

“Everyone, pay attention to your steps and follow me!”

Bai Muchuan instructed and walked right in front, taking the lead.

He used to be from Red Thorn and was trained as a commando there. He could tell from the earlier gunshot as to what type of weapon the other party was using, as well as their approximate location. He knew exactly how to make use of his surroundings to take cover and protect his men… The detectives followed him, dodging here and there as they climbed the steps…

The sniper scope also kept moving to search for its target.

“Boss! Is there anyone there…”

“Everything seemed empty… Where did that b*stard hide?”

“Something doesn’t feel right! Could it be that we’re only dealing with one person?”

“If Xie Wanwan came up, where did she go?”

This was everyone’s doubt.

However, at this moment, Bai Muchuan couldn’t answer them.

He saw a tiny spot of light in the dark that flashed by. That dangerous instinct gripped his heart.

“Get down!”

He shouted and rolled on the floor.

Thud! The bullet hit the floor and sent some sparks flying.

When he turned to look at the spot, he realized that it hit the exact spot where he was earlier.

Bai Muchuan moved quickly. After several rolls on the floor, he jumped to an office on the other side like a leopard. His back was against the wall, a gun in his hand, and he hit the gla.s.s beside him.

“Whoever’s inside, come out!”
