Chapter 1 Dai Quan's Plan

After gently placing the two corpses on the ground, Dai Quan took a long breath. Then, he felt for the security door.

He didn't rush to push the door open. Instead, he reached out his right hand and gently knocked three times on the door.

"Tap, tap, tap."

After knocking, Dai Quan immediately leaned against the other side of the door, gripped his silenced pistol, and listened for movement inside.

After a while, there was no response from within, suggesting there were no guards behind the door.

Only then did Dai Quan reach out, slowly twist the handle, and gently push open the security door.

"Creak..."

The door opened a crack. Dai Quan peeked out and saw no one nearby.

"Tap tap tap!"

Before he could relax, a series of rapid footsteps echoed from the other end of the corridor.

Dai Quan peered out and saw five or six security guards in the distance, holding flashlights, escorting a middle-aged man deeper into the corridor, their backs to him.

The middle-aged man walked and complained, "What the hell is going on downstairs?"

A security guard hastily explained, "It seems to be Mr. Yan's client. They offended someone, but we're not sure of the details yet. We'll take you to the collection room to hide. We've already called the police. It'll be safe soon."

Hearing their conversation, Dai Quan calmed down and surveyed the corridor's layout. He immediately sketched out an attack plan in his mind.

He holstered his pistol, then removed a grenade and pulled the pin.

Estimating the distance, Dai Quan waved his hand and rolled the grenade along the ground like a bowling ball!

At the same time, Dai Quan squatted down, grabbed the Remington behind him, and, holding it steady, pulled the trigger, aiming at the figures ahead.

"Bang!"

Blood mist erupted from the back of a security guard, and he crashed to the ground!

"Behind us! Behind us!"

"Quick, protect the boss!"

The security guards were immediately drawn to the gunfire and quickly turned around, aiming at the other end of the corridor.

At the same time, two security guards instinctively shielded the middle-aged man behind them!

Using the flashlight beams, they saw a figure opposite them.

"There he is, quick, fire..."

"Clang!"

Before one of the security guards could finish speaking, he suddenly saw a grenade roll to his feet.

"Grenade!"

"Boom!"

The grenade detonated instantly, blasting the two security guards into the air. Blood and viscera splattered on the nearby walls!

The remaining security guards were also covered in dust and dirt, knocked to the ground by the blast, their vision blurred and their ears ringing.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Dai Quan, holding the Remington, strode towards them. As he walked, he worked the action of the gun and fired at the remaining security guards.

"Shlack!"

"Bang!"

"Shlack!"

"Bang!"

Flashes of light illuminated the corridor, casting Dai Quan's shadow on the walls. Blood mist continuously erupted from the bodies of the two security guards lying on the ground, turning them into mincemeat!

Only one security guard remained, having just gotten to his feet, but before he could draw his gun, Dai Quan was already in front of him, pressing the muzzle to his forehead. "Don't move!"

The security guard was scared out of his wits, afraid to move. The middle-aged man, who had been protected behind them, was terrified and turned to run.

"Bang!"

Dai Quan decisively pulled the trigger. The security guard's head exploded like a watermelon. The middle-aged man's face was filled with horror as he knelt on the ground, letting out a scream and nearly wetting his pants.

Dai Quan aimed the gun at him, and said expressionlessly, "Don't scream, or you'll end up like him."

The middle-aged man swallowed his scream as if his throat was being squeezed.

After eliminating the enemies, Dai Quan didn't leave. Instead, he quickly scanned the surroundings.

Soon, he made a decision. He looked down at the middle-aged man, who was trembling. Dai Quan grabbed the butt of his gun and slammed it hard against the man's temple!

"Bang!"

The middle-aged man's vision went black, and he passed out.

Dai Quan squatted down, grabbed the middle-aged man by the back of his collar, and dragged him to a door nearby.

"Clang!"

He kicked open the door, threw the middle-aged man inside, entered himself, and closed the door again.

"Riiiip!"

Dai Quan tore open his sleeve and tore off a section of tape from the roll on his wrist. He quickly wrapped it around the middle-aged man's mouth twice, tightly sealing it shut. Then, he took out a nylon zip tie and bound his hands.

Having dealt with the middle-aged man, Dai Quan squatted by the door, loading shells into the Remington while listening to the sounds outside.

"Tap tap tap!"

A minute later, a series of rapid footsteps echoed in the corridor, about a dozen people.

"They're here!"

"The boss is gone!"

"They must have gone downstairs from the other end! Quick, after them!"

The group shouted anxiously, and then the footsteps gradually faded away.

A few minutes later, there was no movement outside. Dai Quan squatted on the ground and waited a while longer before slowly opening the door.

…

According to the fire escape plan, the entire clubhouse had four exits: a main staircase, an emergency exit, an employee exit, and a VIP exit.

At this time, Zheng Guang had joined up with Xiao Yu, and they were heading towards the VIP exit together. If they wanted to find Lu Han, this exit was undoubtedly the fastest.

"Pretend to be a guest and come upstairs with me." Standing in front of the exit door, Zheng Guang turned and instructed Xiao Yu.

"I know." Regardless of their usual feelings, at this moment they were comrades. Xiao Yu's face was calm, and he nodded in cooperation.

Zheng Guang pushed open the door and looked up. In the stairwell, some important guests were walking down, their faces filled with panic because of the gunfire upstairs.

The two exchanged a glance and stepped upstairs. They looked calm and didn't attract anyone's attention along the way.

"Creak!"

When they reached the second and a half floor, the door to the third floor stairwell suddenly opened.

Zheng Guang reached out and stopped Xiao Yu. The two stood there and observed.

At the door to the third floor, Xiao Yan led Lu Han and four security guards out.

As she walked, she said to Lu Han, "I'll take you to the boss's collection room. It's safe there."

Lu Han nodded, and the group quickly walked upstairs.

"You two, stay here." Xiao Yan continued to instruct the security guards, "Also, notify the maintenance department to turn on the backup power supply immediately and restore the power!"

"Yes!"

Two security guards stayed behind, blocking the passage to the fourth floor.

Downstairs, Zheng Guang frowned, turned to Xiao Yu, and whispered, "We have to do it now, or there will be more people coming."

"Okay." Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "I'll go up first and draw their attention. When you hear gunfire, act immediately and control Lu Han. The two below are mine, and the two above are yours."

"Okay!" Zheng Guang nodded and released the safety on the Remington.

Xiao Yu also took out his pistol, hid it in his sleeve, and quickly walked upstairs.

The two security guards saw him and immediately reached out to stop him. "Stop! You can't go upstairs right now!"

Xiao Yu said anxiously, "I'm a guest! I want to go back to the guest room!"

The security guard shook his head. "No, no one is allowed upstairs at this time!"

While speaking, Xiao Yu had already approached them. He swung his arm and revealed the pistol hidden in his sleeve, firing two shots.

The two security guards didn't even have time to react. They were shot directly in the head and fell to the ground.

Hearing the gunfire, the people upstairs immediately looked down! The two security guards following Xiao Yan instinctively raised their guns!

But Zheng Guang was faster. He was already crouching on the stairs, working the action of his Remington and firing two shots in a row!

"Shlack!"

"Bang!"

"Shlack!"

"Bang!"

One of the security guards' heads exploded, splattering blood everywhere! The other security guard was shot in the chest and flew backward, falling on the stairs, blood flowing down the steps.

"Ah!"

Xiao Yan's face was pale with fright, and she let out a piercing scream!

Lu Han was also frightened and collapsed to the ground.

Zheng Guang was already striding upstairs, preparing to grab Lu Han! At this moment, the black security guard who had been shot in the chest suddenly got up and used his nearly two-meter-tall body to grab Zheng Guang, slamming him into the fire hose box behind him!

"Bang!"

"Crash!"

The glass of the fire hose box was shattered, and Zheng Guang's bones felt like they were about to break. The Remington clattered to the ground and fell downstairs.

He endured the pain and reached for the pistol at his waist.

But the black security guard reached out with his left hand and held down Zheng Guang's just-drawn pistol. His other hand grabbed Zheng Guang's neck, his arms bulging with veins, trying to strangle him to death!

Seeing this, Xiao Yu, who was coming upstairs, raised his gun, preparing to help Zheng Guang!

"Bang!"

At this moment, the door upstairs was kicked open, and two security guards rushed out after hearing the gunfire. They reacted very quickly and drew their guns at the same time!

Xiao Yu quickly turned his gun around and pulled the trigger almost simultaneously!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

One of the opponents was shot in the head, and his body fell downstairs.

Xiao Yu's left arm was also shot, and red mist erupted! He fell down, but pulled the leg of another security guard!

"Thud!"

The two rolled to the bottom of the stairs together, grappling in a ball!

At the same time, Zheng Guang was being strangled, his face turning red, his eyes about to pop out.

Lu Han, who had recovered some of his senses, shouted at the black security guard, "Take him alive! You must take him alive!"

Zheng Guang punched the black security guard a few times with his right hand, but his muscles were like iron blocks and he couldn't move him at all. In desperation, he reached behind him and felt a piece of broken glass from the fire hose box.

Zheng Guang gritted his teeth, enduring the stinging pain in his hand, and broke off the piece of broken glass, stabbing it directly into the black security guard's neck!

"Gurgle..."

Blood spurted from the black security guard's neck, and he took a step back unconsciously. But the pistol in Zheng Guang's hand was taken away by him.

Zheng Guang gasped for breath, his eyes bloodshot, his hands still bleeding. He turned his head and his eyes fell on the red fire axe in the fire hose box.

The black security guard was very strong, and he was still alive even with a piece of glass stuck in his neck. He shook his head, steadied his mind, worked the action of the gun, preparing to shoot Zheng Guang in the leg!

"Clang!"

But at this moment, Zheng Guang pulled down the heavy iron axe, and the black security guard paused slightly.

"Damn you!" Zheng Guang roared and swung the axe, chopping it into the opponent's face!
