The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 619 - 581: Catching People_3

As these two words were spoken, Qiao Yuxian’s hand was already knocking on the wooden board inside the wardrobe.

Empty.

Qiao Yuxian’s pupils contracted; she pushed hard, but it didn’t open.

No time to find the switch; Qiao Yuxian stood up straight, grabbed the edge of the wardrobe with both hands, and fiercely kicked inward.

The noise was loud, tugging at Gu Yanjing’s heartstrings. He turned and looked at Qiao Yuxian.

The wooden board inside was directly punctured, and behind it was a thick layer of foam.

After her kick, the man and woman inside fell silent.

Several police officers entered.

Qiao Yuxian pulled her foot out. She barely steadied herself when an officer in the corridor shouted, "Stop!"

The scene outside quickly grew chaotic.

The sound of doors opening, disorderly running, shouting, and soon gunshots rang out.

Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian moved out immediately.

The man and woman in the room suddenly launched an attack.

Both focused their attacks entirely on Qiao Yuxian.

They planned to seize Qiao Yuxian and threaten Gu Yanjing.

But how could Qiao Yuxian give them the chance? In a few swift moves, she dealt with the woman wrapped in a quilt.

Gu Yanjing kicked the man out.

As they walked out, the outside was engaged in gunfire.

"Damn it. This whole floor is theirs. Where did they get the IDs from? Every check shows they’re upstanding citizens. Not a good person among them."

Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian said nothing.

Actually, it’s simple.

They could cultivate some people with clean identities, specifically to do legitimate things for them, or simply act as bodyguards.

Doing things this way makes it easier, and nothing can be traced.

"What’s the situation inside?"

"The wardrobe has a mechanism; the rooms are interconnected," Qiao Yuxian said.

"They ran from the second room in the front. At least these three rooms are connected."

"Did you see Gu Yao?" Gu Yanjing asked.

"I saw him, and he’s with a girl."

They were blocked in the corridor; Gu Yao had already run off somewhere unknown.

Gu Linhai and the secret passage were just a decoy, not if Chen Xi hadn’t called out.

If the hotel lockdown was lifted, Gu Yao could leave right away.

Chu Zhengran and Lu Muyao had already been informed to find them.

In over ten minutes, the corridor situation was resolved, and they quickly headed upstairs.

Chu Zhengran sent a message; there was a fight on the thirtieth floor.

Next to the fire escape on the thirtieth floor is a large hall where the fight broke out.

As time dragged on, the opponents ran out of bullets, and the gunfight turned into close combat.

When Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian arrived, both sides were engaged in combat.

Gu Yao fought while pulling Chen Xi, retreating toward the fire escape.

There were many people.

It appeared that not only were the residents of the twenty-eighth floor Gu Yao’s people, but there were more elsewhere.

They held the recognition banquet, fearing accidents, so they made preparations.

Qiao Yuxian kicked people out while pulling the silver hairpin from her hair.

Her hair fell loose; the silver pin spun in her hand, she didn’t even turn her head and directly stabbed it into the arm coming at her.

She lifted her foot and kicked the person away again.

With her hands on both sides of the pin, she pulled it apart, twisted to lock it, making it longer and easier to use.

From the thirtieth floor, they reached the hotel rooftop.

Qiao Yuxian and Gu Yao engaged.

But with Chen Xi present, both were hesitant, worried about injuring her.

Though Gu Yao had many people, they couldn’t withstand the attack.

Over time, not many were left.

The wind on the rooftop at night was strong, the wind roared around them, clothes blowing up.

Qiao Yuxian had her face covered by her own hair. She reached out to grab Chen Xi’s clothes on her shoulder, trying to pull her over.

Chen Xi also exerted some force toward her direction.

But Gu Yao held a dagger, mercilessly chopping down.

Qiao Yuxian had to let go.

Gu Yao quickly held Chen Xi in his arms.

The people around him moved forward immediately, entangling Qiao Yuxian, while he retreated with Chen Xi.

Gu Yanjing moved to confront Gu Yao, but was also entangled by his people.

Seeing that Gu Yao’s people were dwindling.

The sound of a helicopter roared above.

Qiao Yuxian looked up, chopping the person beside her unconscious.

When she turned back to Gu Yao, Gu Yao had his dagger against Chen Xi’s throat.

"Stop everyone!" Gu Yao shouted.

Everyone looked at him and halted their actions.

The remaining henchmen quickly retreated to Gu Yao’s side.

Gu Yao grabbed Chen Xi’s shoulder with one hand, dagger against her throat on the other side: "Let me go, or before you catch me, I’ll give you this corpse."

Chu Zhengran, the furthest from them, eyed them and pressed his earpiece, whispering, "Qin Xia."

"Here." Qin Xia replied, "I’m on the opposite building. But there’s also someone on another opposite rooftop aiming, likely at Chen Xi."

Chu Zhengran frowned.

Gu Yao then said, "I know there’s a sniper aiming at me. But you wouldn’t dare kill me, right? You’re hoping to learn something from me, aren’t you? For example... those clues that stopped being pursued."

Qiao Yuxian squinted.

"Your sniper can shoot my arm. But if he moves me, my sniper will take her life," Gu Yao glanced at Chen Xi, "You decide."
