Chapter 174: Chapter 0174 Night Raid_1
 

Ten minutes earlier.

Outside the entrance of Jianghai Group Building, twenty meters away.

A deep grey van was parked there, like a lurking beast ready to pounce at any moment.

Inside the van sat four people, led by a middle-aged man with long hair and glasses, who looked refined and every bit the artist.

Accompanying him were six burly men in black suits, with a stature that made it clear they were no ordinary individuals.

The man in glasses rolled down the window and looked up at the night sky.

As a helicopter flew overhead, a cold smile appeared on his lips. He spoke into the walkie-talkie, “The game is ready to begin. Are you all prepared?”

“Number Three in position.”

Outside a twelfth floor window, a petite and delicate woman in black was lurking outside the security center office building, suspended by a rope. She intently watched the five security guards inside and responded into the mic.

“Number Two in position.”

On the helicopter, eight armed men in black slid down ropes onto the rooftop. The man in his thirties with a foreign accent replied first.

“Very good. As long as we succeed tonight, we won’t have to worry about food and drink for the rest of our lives. Everyone, be careful. Number Three, begin the operation.”

The woman in black took a miniature device from her person and placed it by the floor-to-ceiling window. A buzzing sound of a vibration wave resonated, and a pane of glass shattered, falling into the surveillance center.

The woman in black descended like a divine being into the surveillance center, her hands tossing out three Flying Daggers.

Thud, thud, thud!

Muffled sounds rang out, and before the three security guards could react, each had a Flying Dagger stuck in his chest, instantly turning them into corpses.

The remaining two security guards came to their senses, reaching for their guns, when a figure flashed in front of them, and a shadow darted past.

The distance of ten meters was covered instantly, a testament to how swift the woman in black was.

Boom!

A kick landed directly on the neck of the fourth guard, sending him flying three meters away. By the time he hit the ground, his neck was broken, dead beyond doubt.

In two seconds, out of the five guards, only one remained.

The remaining guard was utterly dumbfounded. He drew his pistol and pointed it at the woman in black, shouting, “Don’t come any closer! If you do, I’ll shoot!”

The woman in black glanced between his legs to see droplets of liquid falling.

The guard had been so terrified by the woman’s formidable prowess that he wet his pants.

The woman in black twisted her neck, loosening her muscles, her piercing blue eyes fixed on the last guard, her mouth curling into a beast-like sneer.

“Get lost!”

As if pardoned, the guard hurried towards the door.

A white flash sliced through the void, stabbing directly into his back and piercing his body.

The guard turned around, his eyes locked in a death stare at the woman in black, then he collapsed, dying with his eyes wide open.

“They’re really too weak, not a bit of a challenge,” she said scornfully.

The woman in black, with a trace of disdain on her lips, picked up the mic and said, “Report to Number One, Number Three has completed the mission, security room is under control.”

“Number Three, well done. Now it’s our turn to make a move.”

Upon finishing his words, the refined man stepped out of the vehicle and walked straight into the lobby.

“I’m sorry, sir, the jewelry exhibition started over an hour ago, and you cannot enter,” two security guards approached and stopped him.

“I ran over from a long distance, there was a traffic jam on the road, so I couldn’t make it on time,” the refined man pleaded with an anxious expression on his face.

“Sorry, but that’s the rule of the exhibition. If you are more than ten minutes late, you cannot go in,” insisted the guards.

“Let me show you my ticket,” said the refined man, reaching into his clothes.

“Even with an admission ticket, it’s useless. The chairman specifically instructed us about this.”

“It’s useful.”

The refined man quickly pulled out a silencer-equipped ivory pistol from his clothes and shot two security guards in the chest.

By the time the two men realized what was happening, they were already too dead to die again.

At the entrance to the lobby on the first floor, there were a total of six security personnel. The remaining guards came to their senses only to become corpses one after another.

The six men in black quickly stripped off their clothes, revealing the security uniforms they had prepared underneath, and swiftly entered the lobby.

In a moment, the dead bodies of the lobby security were cleared out and replaced by these six men. The whole process took no more than two minutes, which showed these people were well-trained.

“I’ve successfully taken control of the lobby. Number Two, it’s your turn now,” the refined man said.

“No problem. Taking control of the jewelry exhibition hall is a piece of cake,” said the man with a foreign accent, stepping down from the stairwell helicopter, his hand gesturing, and eight armed men in black quickly surged towards the jewelry exhibition hall.

“Twenty-first floor, by the stairwell, two security guards.”

“Nineteenth floor, west side window, one security guard.”

“Eighteenth floor entrance, four security guards.”

The woman in black reported the situation to the man with the foreign accent as she watched the surveillance, guiding the men in black who were unstoppable, taking out all the guards before they could react.

“Network interference is activated; signals cannot be dialed out,” came the report over the wireless transmitter.

“Excellent. Number Two, Number Three, let’s go up together and see what treasures are on display at the jewelry exhibition,” the Number One refined man said with a triumphant laugh.

Jewelry Exhibition Hall.

Ye Xiong and the three women were preparing to leave when Ye Yuandong approached, saying, “Ah Jun, could I have a word with you?”

“Chairman Ye, what do you want to talk about? Sending my wife to jail, are you seeking revenge against me?” Ye Xiong’s mouth curled up with a derisive cold smile.

“Ah Jun, I never realized Dong Xuan was that kind of woman. I’ve always known she was very cunning, but I never imagined she’d be sinister enough to harm your mother, I…”

“Chairman Ye, you’re a busy man, earning thousands every minute. Aren’t you afraid you’ll waste a lot of money by talking too much to me?” Ye Xiong sneered.

“Ah Jun, I know I was wrong. I have let down Mei Ling, you, and Yangyang. I hope you and Yangyang can forgive me,” Ye Yuandong said.

“To stop hating you is possible, but only if you do one thing for me, then I’ll forgive you.”

“Don’t say one thing, even ten things I would agree to, as long as I can do them,” Ye Yuandong said urgently.

“No need for ten, one is enough,” Ye Xiong said, a devilish smile appearing on his face. “This thing is very simple; you can do it within a few seconds.”

“Tell me.”

Ye Xiong pointed out the window and said coldly, “Just jump from here, confess to my deceased mother, and I will forgive you. Otherwise, you will never have mine or Yangyang’s forgiveness for as long as you live.”

Ye Yuandong’s face turned ashen.

Ye Yangyang grasped his hand and said anxiously, “Big brother…”

“Ye Xiong, don’t be rash,” Yang Xinyi said urgently.

It was Tang Ning who, looking at Ye Xiong’s face, seemed to be deep in thought.

She didn’t believe her brother-in-law was such a cold-hearted person.

“What will it be? Can’t bear to leave this flashy world or the vast wealth you possess?”

“Ah Jun, Dad was wrong. When I sent you to the military, I just wanted to temper your temperament, not to throw you away. You’re my only son. I wanted you to develop the qualities of a soldier. When the time was right, I planned for you to come back and take over my business. All the money I’ve made is for you,” Ye Yuandong said, tears streaking down his face.

“If you can’t do it, then forget it, let’s go.”

Just as Ye Xiong was about to leave, a group of heavily armed militants burst into the room.
