"You..."
Before Cao Jingfan could say anything, the man in black beside him strode over and struck the back of Cao Jingfan's head with the hilt of his knife. A stream of bright red blood flowed down as Cao Jingfan slowly stood up, gasping for breath, yet he still did not utter a word.
The man in black attempted to strike Cao Jingfan again, but just as he raised his knife, Fu Meng suddenly kicked him away. The other armed men in black immediately aimed their guns at Fu Meng.
"Damn it, we agreed on a money deal, why resort to violence!" Fu Meng ignored the guns pointed at him and coldly said to the leader, "I said it before, either kill me directly or take the money and leave quickly. If you lay a hand on me again, I won't hesitate to take you down with me."
The man who was kicked away got up angrily and walked over. Just as he raised his knife again, a gunshot rang out, and a bullet struck the blade, causing his arm to go numb.
"Get lost! If you act recklessly again, the next bullet might be aimed at your head!" the leader said sternly. "Mayor Fu, you should persuade CEO Cao quickly. I’ll give you one minute."
Fu Meng's eyes showed some anger, but he still patted Cao Jingfan on the back and advised, "Old Cao, at this point, don’t be stubborn. Just give him what he wants; it's more important to save your life. Money can always be earned back."
"Mayor Fu is starting to come to his senses. CEO Cao, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and hand over the money; my hand is getting out of control," the leader laughed maniacally. "Hurry up! My patience is running out!"
Cao Jingfan frowned but ultimately walked over and entered his account details to transfer the money into the assailant's account. He sighed and stepped back to the side, his face dark and silent.
"Next up is Ye Buluo, Mr. Ye. With CEO Cao as an example, I expect you to behave yourself. No more nonsense; your life is worth the same as CEO Cao's. Hurry up; I don't like dragging things out," the leader said impatiently.
Ye Buluo showed little resistance and appeared relaxed as he walked over to the notebook computer, completed his transaction smoothly, and stepped back without showing any fear or emotion on his face.
Seeing what happened to Cao Jingfan, the wealthy individuals complied and walked over obediently to avoid injury.
...
The Phoenix Grand Hotel was now desolate; apart from those in the lobby, there were no signs of movement anywhere else. This indicated that the group of robbers had completely taken control of the Phoenix Grand Hotel; it was an organized heist.
Originally filled with guests in their rooms, now they had all vanished without a trace. It was clear that those robbers were once those customers who had been lying in wait for this very moment to rob all the wealthy patrons present.
If they succeeded, it would indeed make headlines worldwide; the amount of money involved could surpass that taken from national banks during robberies—enough for over a hundred people to share and live comfortably for several lifetimes.
In a men's restroom stall, Mo Ming was leisurely smoking a cigarette while sitting on the toilet with one leg crossed over the other. His eyes squinted dangerously as he sent a text message before standing up and tossing the cigarette butt into the toilet.
Just as the lights dimmed earlier, Mo Ming sensed something was off. Without thinking twice, he escaped into the darkness but did not go far; instead, he hid nearby and waited quietly.
Later events proved that his thoughts were correct. Tonight, he indeed encountered such a situation. He roughly noted the number of people and their weapons before leaving the lobby.
However, in a large hotel like Feng Lai Hotel, he did not encounter anyone. Mo Ming carefully looked around and discovered that there were two armed men in black guarding the entrance of a large room.
This meant that the staff of Feng Lai Hotel should be inside.
In this situation, Mo Ming maintained a calm mindset and did not rush to save anyone. Instead, he went directly to the surveillance room, quietly took out the two men in black there, and then sent a text message to Ji Yue from the restroom, briefly explaining what had happened and urging her to find someone for support.
After doing all this, just as Mo Ming was about to leave the restroom, he heard a chaotic sound of footsteps approaching. Suddenly, the restroom door was kicked open, and as the figures outside were exposed to Mo Ming's view, he moved.
In the next second, the man in black who was about to rush in was kicked back out. He had an AK47 but failed to keep up with Mo Ming's swift movements and crashed heavily against the wall, losing consciousness.
Regardless of the opponent's actions, decisive Mo Ming walked over and snapped that person's neck. He then dragged the body into the restroom and quickly put on the black outfit.
"Damn it, do you have to be so short? The clothes are so small; hell, these pants are practically cropped!"
Mo Ming cursed under his breath when he heard a voice from outside: "What are you doing in there for so long? I told you to search the restroom; you better not be taking your time! I'm still holding it!"
As he spoke, there was a sound of a door opening. Mo Ming immediately walked to the door and faced the man in black without saying a word.
"Did you find anyone... wait, you're not one of us!"
"Congratulations on guessing correctly; your reward is that your clothes are now mine."
The man in black grumbled unhappily but suddenly sensed something was off. The clothes had shrunk after just a short while—what kind of speed was this? Just as he raised his gun, Mo Ming swiftly struck him down with a knife hand.
Through the eye holes of the mask, it was clear that the man's eyes widened in surprise before he could make any sound of danger and fainted.
Mo Ming dragged him inside again and quickly changed into his clothes. This time they fit perfectly. Grabbing the AK47, he exited the restroom just as two men in black passed by. One of them asked, "Hey, have you checked inside the restroom?"
"I checked; didn't find anyone," Mo Ming slightly disguised his voice while preparing himself. If they sensed anything amiss, death would greet them.
Fortunately, neither of the two men noticed anything unusual. They nodded and said, "Oh, we checked over there too and found nothing. Let's go; we need to search upstairs."
"Alright."
Mo Ming nodded and immediately followed the two men in black as they walked ahead. He deliberately slowed his pace to stay behind, to avoid being ambushed from behind.
After climbing a few steps, one of the men in black suddenly stopped, turned sharply, and said, "Wait a minute, when we separated to search, it seemed like we were supposed to be in pairs..."
"Haha, at least you have some brains, but it seems it's too late now."
In an instant, just as Mo Ming was about to make a move with a cold smile, he noticed the other man in black swiftly reach out and snap the neck of the first man. Mo Ming was taken aback by this sudden internal conflict but quickly reached out to grab the assailant's neck.
The second man reacted quickly, stepping back while saying, "Boss, don't make a move! It's me!"
Hearing the voice, Mo Ming immediately halted his actions and smiled wryly. "Xige, you should have said something earlier; I almost pulled the trigger..."
"That idiot didn't say anything; how was I supposed to know we were supposed to be in pairs!" Shang Xige replied somewhat frustrated. "Enough with the nonsense. Boss, what do you plan to do next? I'm listening to your orders."
"Let's not act rashly for now. The enemy has hostages; if we engage recklessly, Murong Lian and the others might get hurt. For now, we can only slowly dismantle their forces," Mo Ming said. "I've notified the police to come over. Before they arrive, we need to eliminate all enemies outside the lobby."
"Yeah, I just took a look around here and found about ten people lying in wait at the entrance, all armed with AK-47s. I didn't get a good look because I was afraid they'd notice me, but I'm sure they have communication devices. If we act carelessly, it might alert the enemies inside the lobby," Shang Xige asked. "How do you plan to handle this?"
"Let's not engage the people at the entrance for now. There are two teams of enemies on this floor looking for us; let's deal with them first..." Mo Ming had just started speaking when his gaze turned icy. Just as he was about to act, he saw two flying daggers swiftly pierce through the necks of two men in black.
It goes without saying that the one who threw the daggers was Shang Xige. As a qualified assassin, his sense of danger was sharp. The moment Mo Ming noticed something was off, he had already sensed it and without hesitation drew his darts and threw them.
Shang Xige chuckled. "Boss, it's always good to carry some weapons with you; otherwise, in situations like this where you can't easily fire a gun, it can be quite troublesome. If we alert others, we'll end up getting overwhelmed."
"Haha, it seems like your 'overwhelmed' is coming."
Mo Ming sneered as a glint of killing intent flashed in his eyes. He immediately lunged down the stairs. Shang Xige reacted quickly as well and followed Mo Ming down; he was just a bit faster. The area they had just occupied was instantly swept by gunfire.
"Don't let them escape! No need to leave any survivors; just take them out!"
Shang Xige shouted angrily: "Kill them! If you have guts, come down here! I won't feed you bullets; I'll take your surname... Damn it, they really are coming down! Good job, boys."
Tap tap tap...
Now that the enemy has discovered them, Shang Xige and Mo Ming no longer need to worry about anything. They frantically used their AKL47s, taking cover behind the wall, and engaged in a firefight with about ten enemies.
"Damn it, boss, what do we do when they outnumber us? Our firepower is insufficient..."
Shang Xige felt a bit overwhelmed. After all, the opponents were Mercenaries, highly skilled with firearms, and now they had the advantage in numbers. With just their two guns, their firepower was simply not enough. After a short while, they ran out of bullets.
"What are you afraid of? Just because they have guns? Come on, do you have any throwing knives? Lend me a few," Mo Ming said as he tossed aside his gun and reached for the throwing knives. Shang Xige could only smile wryly and shake his head, saying, "I only have two. I came to accompany Miss Su to the ball today, so I didn't bring many..."
"You bastard, you realize your mistake now, right? For a woman, you're risking your life tonight!"
Mo Ming scoffed at him. Although he said this, he didn't seem nervous at all. Shang Xige replied, "You think a few bastards can kill me? Dream on! Even if I wanted to die, would Yama dare to take me?"
"That's my line!" Mo Ming slapped Shang Xige on the head.
"Brothers, charge quickly! They are out of bullets! Hmph! For our fallen brothers, we must tear them to pieces to vent our anger!"
