In the moonlight, a group of kidnappers didn’t dare stand up and show themselves, let alone approach this way.
The masked man whispered again, "Get in here quickly!"
He Kao quickly darted around the corner and jumped through the window, lying next to the masked man. Though he had a thousand things to say, at that mont, he only said, "I’m out of bullets!"
The masked man took He Kao’s pistol and handed him the assault rifle he was holding. "This model, right? Wait a mont, my godfather will help you get more... Just lie here and don’t look back at . Pull the trigger when you hear any noise outside, wherever it cos from."
Goddamn godfather! Even at a ti like this, he couldn’t resist taking advantage.
The masked man ran quickly outside the shop with the pistol, suddenly vanished, and reappeared monts later, not at the spot where he disappeared, but at the corner by the window.
He Kao didn’t see it nor did he sense it, but had he seen it, he would have noticed the masked man seed to erge like he was stepping out from the corner.
"You know how to change the magazine, right? Just press this button, and the empty one will pop out... Right, press here, then put the new magazine in."
The masked man brought over two new pistol magazines, quickly teaching He Kao how to reload, demonstrating how simple it was, and with a bit of practice, He Kao learned.
Seeing the masked man had taken back the rifle and was still aiming out the window, He Kao asked, "You’re breathing really hard, are you okay?"
Masked Man: "I’m fine, just too excited! Grab the gun and get going, find a car outside and take President E away. As long as you’re not here, I have my ways... First, I’ll take care of this group, and we can et at your place afterward."
He Kao didn’t argue, reminded him, "They still have accomplices planning to ambush you at Sanxi Bridge. If they hear any noise, they might also co over the mountain. Outside President E’s house and near the E-Tis District, there should be sentinels."
Masked Man: "Got it, leave it to . Don’t stay to be a drag. If it weren’t for you guys holding back, I could’ve already gotten behind them and picked them off one by one... There’s a car key on the ground outside."
He Kao reminded again, "In open spaces, they can lock onto you even if you’re a hundred ters away. If it’s indoors, they can sense you even if there’s at least three walls between you within twenty ters."
Masked Man: "I’ve figured it out, stop nagging, get moving!"
He Kao’s final reminder, "Especially loud disturbances, chaotic scenes can confuse their senses, like the grenade you threw at the gate... A shotgun’s noise can have a similar effect."
After speaking, He Kao cautiously backed out, still rembering to return to the previous room to take the stuff on the small table, then detoured through another pedestrian street, quickly rushing outside the main gate.
Several bodies blown apart by an explosion lay outside the main gate, a car key was right on the upper steps and easily visible.
Many cars were parked outside, He Kao picked up the key and pressed it, a car’s lights ca on. It was an old-fashioned fuel SUV. He quickly got in the car and started it, turning towards the Fun Exploration House in the back.
The group of kidnappers lying there heard the sound of a vehicle starting in the distance, and panicked for a mont. At that ti, the masked man fired another volley onto the open ground, making none of them dare move.
He Kao stopped the car and rushed into the Fun Exploration House, and sure enough, Gao Xue’e was still in that room. Upon hearing the noise, she shrank under the table in terror. He Kao whispered, "President E, don’t be afraid, it’s , co with quickly!"
Only then did Gao Xue’e crawl out from under the table, turned on her phone flashlight to see He Kao, and seed to breathe a sigh of relief, instinctively raised her hands and stood up straight.
He Kao hesitated for a mont, then realized what she ant. It seed Gao Xue’e couldn’t run, especially in the dark she couldn’t see her feet clearly. He crouched down again and hoisted Gao Xue’e up, carrying his gun as he dashed outside.
"President E, lie down in the backseat without showing your head."
He Kao drove away from Joy Valley, only stopping once along the way to open the iron gate at the entrance. The gate was usually locked, but tonight soone had clearly removed the lock.
After leaving the gate, he turned onto the highway, finally relaxed, then rembered sothing suddenly and quickly asked, "President E, you didn’t call the police earlier, did you?"
Gao Xue’e seed to have cald down as well, weakly saying from the back, "Not yet, you told to wait for you there, when I saw you... I planned to wait for you to co back."
Gao Xue’e originally wanted to say, "I saw you shooting soone," but swallowed that line back.
He Kao: "Give the phone."
Gao Xue’e handed the phone over from the back seat, He Kao unlocked it and glanced at it. Sure enough, there were no call records or ssages sent. Gao Xue’e surely wouldn’t deceive him in such a situation.
Pugang Town had a highway running through the middle, and in the latter half of the night, cars often passed by, not attracting much attention. He Kao took a slight turn onto a path ahead and soon arrived at his own ho... He parked the car in the yard.
He helped Gao Xue’e into the house, then said, "There’s hot water in the bathroom, you can take a shower and rest. I’ll find you so clothes to change into."
But Gao Xue’e clutched his sleeve and asked, "Who was it earlier? The person shooting outside, was it the one you ntioned, Hidden Moth? What do we do now?"
He Kao: "President E, you don’t know anything about Hidden Moth, you’ve never heard of it, rember? For now, don’t call the police. If we do report, let handle it, we can’t endanger regular officers... Get so rest."
There were no won’s clothes at He Kao’s house, so he had no choice but to find a few clean pieces of his own clothes for Gao Xue’e. As soon as the sound of water ca from the bathroom, He Kao turned his head to look at the small room he usually lived in, only to see the masked man open the door and walk out from there.
