Let's rewind the time ten seconds before Bai Yaxin disappeared.
-
Although unwilling, Bai Yaxin had to admit that he had been played.
-
He did arrange for his men to replace the "stamps" in the black box with regular stamps and then deliver them to him.
-
But what he ended up with was still the drug stamp before it was replaced.
-
This meant that someone, without anyone noticing, put back the replaced drug stamp.
-
And all this happened in such a short amount of time.
-
Who could it be?
-
How did they manage it?
-
Bai Yaxin once again felt regret that he couldn't recruit the two girls, Cang Lian and Lin Fan, under his command. It was such a pity.
-
He really, really, really wanted these two talents.
-
Even if these two turned against him, he didn't mind.
-
In ancient times, there was Guan Yu sheltering temporarily under Cao Cao.
-
As long as the conditions were right, there was nothing that couldn't be negotiated.
-
This was the business principle that Bai Yaxin had always believed in.
-
"Bai Yaxin, I now arrest you on suspicion of manufacturing, transporting, and selling drugs!" (Dojo Kazuaki)
-
Looking at the black muzzle of Dojo Kazuaki,
-
Bai Yaxin had already planned his next move.
-
Plan B.
-
"I surrender, you win." (Bai Yaxin)
-
Bai Yaxin raised his hands behind his head, tilted his head at Dojo Kazuaki, and then... he stuck out his tongue like a cheeky ghost.
-
The mechanism activated, and the secret door on the ground instantly opened. Bai Yaxin dropped directly into the secret chamber on the lower floor through the secret door and it closed instantly.
-
Bai Yaxin, lying in the foam, was stunned for a few seconds, then sighed deeply.
-
He had been too lucky recently, he had been complacent.
-
This was really not supposed to happen.
-
Bai Yaxin made a call.
-
"Atlas, execute plan B." (Bai Yaxin)
-
Bai Yaxin gave the order very calmly.
-
As if greeting someone casually.
-
But only those who knew the details of this order would understand how heavy and cruel it truly was.
-
The outline of Plan B was to eliminate all personnel inside the Erqi Castle.
-
Yes, not just the enemy, but all personnel.
-
Except for Bai Yaxin's senior staff, whether they were castle staff, police, or unrelated people, they were all to be exterminated.
-
This was the order of Plan B.
-
"Received, commencing execution of plan B." (Atlas Brown Bear)
-
Even Atlas Brown Bear, with years of experience, hesitated for a moment before giving a confirmation response.
-
Then the execution began.
-
The several dozen combat forces deployed by Bai Yaxin inside the Erqi Castle would all emerge from the shadows under the command of Atlas Brown Bear.
-
Within the secret chamber, a small rectangular space of four or five square meters, only the four corners of the ceiling were fitted with dim yellow light bars.
-
Apart from this, the secret chamber was filled with half foam and a one-way escape hatch in the wall.
-
Bai Yaxin did not rush to leave the secret chamber but closed his eyes, lay down in the foam, and listened attentively.
-
An impromptu classical symphony was about to begin.
-
The conductor, Bai Yaxin.
-
Chief pianist, Atlas Brown Bear.
-
Chief violinist, Kumo.
-
Chief flutist, Zaxiduoji.
-
Chief clarinetist, Longya.
-
"Let's play together a symphony, 'Shocking' in G major No. 94." (Bai Yaxin)
-
Muttering to himself, Bai Yaxin raised his hands high.
-
As he waved his hands, explosions reverberated.
-
Then gunshots came from all directions, near and far, many or few.
-
These sounds ignited Bai Yaxin's nerves, making him tremble uncontrollably as if he were climaxing.
-
After a long time, this maniacal pervert finally calmed down, straightened his clothes, opened the escape door in the secret chamber, and climbed out.
-
Outside the secret chamber, two burly figures in black suits with guns strapped to their waists stood by the door.
-
They held guns in one hand, batons in the other, and riot shields raised, wearing Bluetooth earpieces, very professional.
-
"Clear the way." (Bai Yaxin)
-
Bai Yaxin walked proudly.
-
In his eyes, victory was already assured.
-
He considered every possible scenario and had prepared full countermeasures.
-
Today, due to a gas pipeline explosion, Kyoto's Erqi Castle would be engulfed in flames. Several police officers who came to investigate the case and the on-site personnel would all perish in the blaze.
-
And what really happened here, no one would ever know.
-
Everything would be burned to a crisp.
-
Except for ashes, nothing would be left behind.
-
That was Bai Yaxin's script.
-
"What a shame, the 400-year-old Erqi Castle is now ashes." (Bai Yaxin)
-
As Bai Yaxin walked and lamented, he seemed to have already moved to a safe place, while the Erqi Castle had fallen into a sea of flames.
-
But he did not expect that someone would respond to his soliloquy.
-
"Destroying historical heritage, isn't that wrong, Bai Yaxin?" (???)
-
At the end of the corridor, a young man stood there.
-
White long-sleeved t-shirt, black and gray sports pants, slender and compact figure.
-
He leaned slightly against the wall, arms crossed in front of him.
-
Sharp gaze.
-
The appearance of this young man alone startled Bai Yaxin.
-
By this time, the bodyguards beside Bai Yaxin had reacted, raising their guns.
-
"Oh, please don't shoot." (Bai Yaxin)
-
Bai Yaxin reached out and pressed down the guns of the two bodyguards, smiling.
-
"Okay, or not okay, is that up to you?" (Bai Yaxin)
-
As he spoke, Bai Yaxin took a step forward and addressed the young man.
-
"You should be vacationing happily in Hainan. What are you doing here?" (Bai Yaxin)
-
"As long as you haven't been thrown into prison, I'm not happy anywhere." (???)
-
"Then you may never be happy in your life." (Bai Yaxin)
-
Bai Yaxin answered with a smile.
-
"To be honest, I envy you." (???)
-
The young man also approached Bai Yaxin.
-
"What do I envy about you? You've got so many things worth envying, it would take me until tomorrow to finish counting." (Bai Yaxin)
-
"Yeah, I envy your blind confidence." (???)
-
"Where does that confidence come from?" (???)
-
"Do you really think the guns and batons in the hands of those two brothers can protect you?" (???)
-
Bai Yaxin remained silent at the young man's words.
-
He looked up at the ceiling for a while and seemed to have figured something out.
-
"Ah, sorry, my mistake. What's the use of arguing with a child as an adult?" (Bai Yaxin)
-
"I'm really foolish." (Bai Yaxin)
-
"Kill him." (Bai Yaxin)
-
As Bai Yaxin stepped back, the two bodyguards raised their guns.
-
However, at the same time, the young man had already turned and run.
-
This unexpected action left Bai Yaxin and the two bodyguards stunned.
-
Wasn't this guy here to provoke or confront directly?
-
For a moment, the two bodyguards found themselves in a passive position, not knowing whether to chase or stay.
-
The soldier uses cunning, retreat for advance, fictitious for real.
-
"Alright, this kid." (Bai Yaxin)
-
Bai Yaxin laughed heartily at the two guards who had become dumbfounded.
-
He had been wondering how this kid could defeat two professionals armed with guns.
-
His thoughts had boxed him into a dead end.
-
This young man didn't necessarily have to win; he could also flee.
-
There was no need to determine victory or defeat here.
-
"One of you go after him, one stay with me." (Bai Yaxin)
-
In response to the young man's tactics, Bai Yaxin issued his instructions.
-
Faking an escape, drawing the enemy to chase, and setting up ambushes and traps on the escape route was a common tactic.
-
Bai Yaxin had never thought that the strategies he read in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" could come in handy now.
-
One bodyguard scouted, one guarded in case of emergency, using such a deployment to deal with the situation.
-
"Atlas, Kumo, Zaxiduoji, Longya, finish clearing your respective areas and then come to meet me." (Bai Yaxin)
At the same time, Bai Yaxin also issued new instructions via radio to prepare for unforeseen circumstances.
Although arrogant and dismissive in speech, Bai Yaxin was more cautious than anyone when it came to execution.
And so, Bai Yaxin began to evacuate the main palace hall.
Proceeding with extreme caution.
Afraid that there might be a sudden explosion somewhere, or that they might be targeted by a hidden gunman.
Unexpectedly, they smoothly descended to the second floor.
"Atlas here, the entrance of the main palace hall on the first floor has been cleared, now proceeding upstairs to meet Mr. Bai." (Atlas Bear)
Meanwhile, Bai Yaxin received a message from Atlas Bear, which somewhat eased his mind.
It was just that runaway boy who disappeared, making him unable to relax.
After turning another corner,
Still nothing happened.
Just as they were walking, the lead bodyguard suddenly stopped.
Then, the bodyguard turned around and fired a shot at another bodyguard.
Directly hitting the forehead, entering through the front and exiting through the back of the head, the bullet tore a large hole in the back of the head.
The bodyguard who was shot had no time to say anything before becoming a corpse.
Then, the shooter aimed the gun at Bai Yaxin's head.
"Surprised, aren't you?" (Bodyguard???)
Only when the bodyguard spoke did Bai Yaxin realize that this bodyguard was no longer the same person as before.
At some point, the bodyguard who was leading the way had been switched out.
Perhaps at some turn at the end of the corridor.
Or perhaps in the shadow after descending the stairs.
"Splitting up to avoid being caught in one net is a pretty good strategy." (Bodyguard???)
"But splitting up also means being more vulnerable to being picked off one by one." (Bodyguard???)
"What do you think, Bai Yaxin?" (Bodyguard???)
