Two o'clock in the afternoon!
Haitian Pharmaceutical Office Building!
The company employees have returned to work one after another, and at this time, Ye Cangtian is eating from a fast-food box.
No way! Tang Xinwan is angry, and her personality is very stubborn. If she says she won't eat, she really won't eat.
Perhaps out of consideration for Gu Yue not eating, she ordered takeout for Gu Yue, but surprisingly, there was none for Ye Cangtian.
Fortunately, Ye Cangtian got a bento from the transportation department. Although it was cold, he could still manage a few bites.
After eating, he lit a cigarette and chatted with Li Dazhuang in the security room.
Just then, Xu Weiwei drove up, got out of the car, and said to Ye Cangtian, "Come out for a bit, I need to tell you something!"
The restaurant area had been mostly cleared up, the crowd had been evacuated, and some of the food inside had been sent to the relevant departments for testing.
Furthermore, the police had identified the suspects as members of an overseas assassin organization.
Xu Weiwei said to Ye Cangtian with a grave expression, "We received intel from higher up that four of the assassins in this group are international fugitives. One was captured, and two were killed, but one remains extremely dangerous."
"This person's identity is 'Sniper Storm,' an incredibly skilled sniper with extensive assassination experience!"
"I just reviewed the files. This person has assassinated several high-ranking European officials. Allied nations have issued multiple warrants for his arrest, but he has never been caught."
After speaking, Xu Weiwei looked at Ye Cangtian and said sternly, "Be careful. I've already requested from the chief to increase surveillance personnel in this vicinity."
Ye Cangtian nodded. He had heard of the name Sniper Storm before. This guy was known as the sharpshooter among snipers.
He rarely made a move, but every time he did, his targets were absolutely, one hundred percent eliminated.
He was indeed a rather troublesome fellow!
"Oh, right!" Xu Weiwei suddenly added, "There's another assassin on the list who hasn't appeared yet. This assassin's codename is 'Leng.' Do you know him?"
Ye Cangtian smiled and shook his head, "No. Is it a man or a woman? I'm not interested in men, but I'm open to getting acquainted with women."
"You really don't know him?"
Xu Weiwei let out a slight snort, then continued, "Is Gu Yue upstairs? I want to have a word with her."
Ye Cangtian: "..."
Could this woman have guessed Gu Yue's identity?
Otherwise, why would she suddenly ask about Gu Yue?
Just as Ye Cangtian was planning how to gloss over Gu Yue's situation, a sudden throbbing in his forehead alerted him to an imminent danger.
His expression changed. He looked at Xu Weiwei, who was standing next to him, and immediately lunged forward.
"You!" Xu Weiwei hadn't reacted and was about to scold him when she heard Ye Cangtian's voice, "Get down!"
They both fell to the ground. Simultaneously, a bullet whizzed past, scorching the ground where they had just been standing, creating a fist-sized crater.
Xu Weiwei was stunned. She could no longer worry about the awkward position of being pinned by Ye Cangtian, because she recognized the destructive power of the bullet from a sniper rifle that had gouged out the crater.
If they hadn't gone down, she and Ye Cangtian, standing in a straight line, would have been hit simultaneously.
Just as Xu Weiwei realized what had happened and was about to push Ye Cangtian away with a blushing face, she saw him grab her and roll to the side.
A second after they rolled, another bullet landed, hitting the ground with a dull thud.
This time, Xu Weiwei dared not move. Her body froze.
There was a sniper hidden in the shadows, targeting them!
Sniper Storm! Xu Weiwei's face turned pale.
At this moment, Ye Cangtian stood up and said, "This angle is within the opponent's blind spot. They can't shoot anymore."
This was because the security booth was blocking the line of sight!
Xu Weiwei stood up and saw Ye Cangtian observing the distant buildings. She quickly said, "I'll inform all departments to search the vicinity immediately. However, with so many buildings around, it's difficult to pinpoint the opponent's exact location."
"No, I know where he is!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at a tall building two kilometers away. From the trajectory of the bullet, he could determine the general direction.
Furthermore, the interval between him and Xu Weiwei going down and the opponent firing again was two to three seconds.
Given the bullet's speed of 800-900 meters per second, he estimated the opponent's position to be between 1500m and 2000m.
Although the effective range of an ordinary sniper was only about a thousand meters, this opponent was no ordinary sniper.
Sniper Storm, the top killer among snipers, could achieve an effective range of two kilometers.
This was why Ye Cangtian was so confident that the opponent was likely in a tall building about two kilometers away.
"Give me the car keys!" He extended his hand to Xu Weiwei.
"What are you doing?" Xu Weiwei blinked, then subconsciously took out the car keys.
Ye Cangtian snatched the keys and walked away, simultaneously saying to Li Dazhuang in the security booth, "Dazhuang, go to the chairman's office immediately, guard the door, and don't let anyone enter the office, no matter what!"
He was preventing them from falling into a trap of luring the tiger away from its mountain. Although only one assassin remained, it was better to be safe than sorry.
Li Dazhuang knew something serious had happened and said as he ran, "Brother, don't worry, no one will get in!"
Ye Cangtian quickly got into Xu Weiwei's car. Just as he started it, he saw Xu Weiwei get in.
Without a word, he stepped on the accelerator and sped towards the building two kilometers away.
Along the way, Xu Weiwei was constantly notifying various teams to dispatch personnel to that building.
Less than five minutes later!
Ye Cangtian drove directly to the vicinity of the building.
It was an eighteen-story tall building, with a long advertisement poster hanging on it – "For Rent!"
It was clear that the building was still in the process of being leased. The previously locked main entrance had been pried open, indicating that the culprit had entered from there.
"You stay downstairs!"
Seeing Xu Weiwei about to follow him upstairs, Ye Cangtian frowned, then added, "Have people guard here to prevent the opponent from escaping!"
Xu Weiwei hesitated, but then nodded, acknowledging the validity of his words, and said solemnly, "Then be careful!"
Ye Cangtian rushed towards the building. He sensed that the opponent had not left. Although he didn't know why, he absolutely could not let the opponent escape. Sudan Novels.
A sniper lurking in the shadows posed no significant threat to him, but it posed a considerable threat to Gu Yue and Tang Xinwan.
In less than a minute, Ye Cangtian reached the eighteenth floor.
On the rooftop, a dark sniper rifle was mounted at the edge, still aimed at Haitian Pharmaceutical.
Beside it, a man in combat gear leaned against the edge, holding a bottle of wine, drinking it sip by sip.
Seeing Ye Cangtian appear, the man looked up and smiled, "You've come?"
Clearly, he had no intention of escaping at all!
Ye Cangtian looked at him with surprise. He was somewhat taken aback. In fact, it would have been easy for the opponent to escape within the five minutes Ye Cangtian took to get there from Haitian Pharmaceutical.
But the opponent hadn't fled!
This made Ye Cangtian vigilant. He believed there was a reason for the opponent not to flee, or perhaps it was a deliberate attempt to lure him there.
"I told Jiao not to go to her death, but she wouldn't listen to me."
The stern-faced man let out a wry smile, then shook his head, "But I know very well that we can't succeed, can we? Lord Demon King..."
Ye Cangtian raised an eyebrow, "You know me?"
