The crowd was being played around by Charlie, their hearts filled with fury, and upon hearing Luo Zheng's order, each of them charged forward, desperate to catch Charlie imdiately. Luo Zheng detested Charlie as well, running his fastest, and soon they arrived at a dense forest where the helicopter had already stopped firing. The surroundings were devastated, and a person lay on the ground, blood streaming from the mouth, not yet dead.
Luo Zheng and the others rushed forward, and upon discovering that the person raised a gun to fire, Luo Zheng was instantly furious, raising his hand to shoot, but was preempted by Hong ihua. Filled with deep-seated hatred, Hong ihua was keen on Charlie dying, and upon seeing Charlie, her eyes reddened, her new and old grudges flooded her heart, she quickly pulled the trigger, each shot hitting flesh, all hitting vital points such as the eyebrows and heart. Hong ihua fired hysterically until the bullets ran out.
Everyone was amazed, watching Hong ihua, unable to understand why she was so frenzied. Only Luo Zheng knew the inside story, yet he didn't reveal it, only looked suspiciously at the dead Charlie, feeling sothing wasn't right. Considering Charlie's skills, he shouldn't have been so easily killed, right?
Suddenly, Luo Zheng noticed sothing peculiar about the person's eyes, which although dead, carried a mocking and sneering expression. This look was very abnormal. Luo Zheng was puzzled and quickly stepped forward, crouched down to inspect, and suddenly noticed sothing unusual about the opponent's face, instinctively reaching out to touch it.
This touch was crucial. Luo Zheng was shocked to find the opponent was wearing a silicone mask, and he peeled the mask off in surprise, revealing another face. Everyone was shocked to witness this scene; Hong ihua thought her vengeance was fulfilled and was delighted, only to discover the dead person was not Charlie but soone else. Her face changed drastically, feeling as though the world turned black, and fainted.
There is no greater pain in life than this: thinking vengeance has been exacted, only to realize soone else is dead instead. Such extre joy and sorrow felt like a rollercoaster, causing collapse. Even though Hong ihua's mind was exceptional and her will steadfast, she couldn't withstand it and fell unconscious.
"Bastard." Luo Zheng roared in anger, his face ashen as he tossed the silicone mask on the ground, promptly signaling Shi Feng's subordinate, a female officer, to perform first aid on Hong ihua. Speaking through the earpiece, he said: "The dead is not Charlie, Charlie has escaped."
"Huh?" Lan Xue was stunned upon hearing this news.
"Enter ergency alert status imdiately to guard against Charlie's counterattack. That damn scoundrel indeed slipped away. Be careful, we are returning at once." Luo Zheng hurriedly reminded through the earpiece, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, seeing everyone's faces look sullen. Having wasted such great effort, yet caught not Charlie, drove everyone mad with frustration.
"My bad, I didn't perform identity verification on the target." Lan Xing gloomily spoke through the earpiece. As an intelligence officer, Lan Xing was responsible for tracking Charlie, only seeing Charlie's appearance through surveillance. He didn't verify the true identity, indeed a dereliction of duty.
"You've done your best." Luo Zheng said perfunctorily, his mind calculating; in the underground pipeline, the individual's skills were truly remarkable, certainly Charlie. Then, where did Charlie escape from? A brilliant shed-skin strategy, having arranged the contingency even in those circumstances, Charlie is indeed hard to deal with.
At this mont, Hong ihua was awakened by others, her face ice-cold, looking at the body coldly, and said: "I know this person, nad Matt, Charlie's trusted aide. We've not lost too badly; given Charlie's nature, he might attack the ho. Of course, this depends on whether he still has anyone usable. Jim, responsible for their team's computer, was killed by Ghost Hand. Eck was captured, Bill and Jos died one after another. Charlie's five key aides were all gone, leaving only himself, but we must guard against it."
Luo Zheng saw Hong ihua speak a bit disordered, sighed, and said: "The ho has been alerted, and this ti, we didn't lose unjustly; we were simply not as skilled, can't bla others. However," he said, looking at the crowd, his gaze gradually becoming fervent and sharp, continued: "However, don't be discouraged. Though we didn't catch Charlie, we eliminated Charlie's five aides, an impressive feat. Charlie is still in this city, let's buck up and continue the search, I refuse to believe he can escape."
"Yes." The crowd was stirred by Luo Zheng's emotions, their morale lifting slightly.
Hong ihua realized her words might have been discouraging, affecting the morale, she gave Luo Zheng an apologetic glance, and continued: "Pushing Charlie to this degree and eliminating his five aides, this is unique worldwide, I can proudly tell you all, you've done very well because nobody worldwide has achieved this. By working together, catching Charlie is just around the corner."
"Bring the body, let's head off," Luo Zheng said seeing Hong ihua in slightly better shape.
Everyone responded, took the body, and began to retreat. Hong ihua motioned Luo Zheng to fall behind the team, keeping a distance, then whispered: "A clever shed-skin trick, when do you think Charlie escaped?"
"Probably after exiting the sewage pipe, he stole a car. During that ti, we didn't know Charlie's whereabouts; only after I exited the underground pipe did we lock onto the vehicle. This tifra was about five to six minutes, enough for him to do many things. However, what puzzles is, at the ti there was clearly only one person; how did Charlie contact a companion and arrange this shed-skin trick?" Luo Zheng whispered.
"One possibility is that Matt's hideout was right nearby, Charlie found him and had him disguise as himself to escape." Hong ihua said coldly.
"Sorry, we didn't catch Charlie." Luo Zheng said apologetically.
"Don't say that, reaching this point is already very difficult, we've severed Charlie's limbs, increasing the chances of catching him, it's just a matter of ti. I have confidence in you." Hong ihua said gratefully.
"Alright, let's continue teaming up, I refuse to believe we can't catch this scoundrel." Luo Zheng said earnestly, exuding strong confidence.
"Found the site where Charlie disappeared, after exiting the underground pipe, he drove north for about three minutes, passed a hotel entrance, alighted, soone else continued driving, Charlie entered the hotel." Lan Xing's voice sounded over the earpiece.
"Great, send over the location, we're going to catch him." Luo Zheng said excitedly, his spirits lifted.
"Don't hold high hopes yet; considering Charlie's caution and ticulousness, the hotel might be just a base, equivalent to a safe house. He likely left in disguise. Imdiately investigate all hotel surveillance, perform cranial analysis on everyone, find him. Rember, analyze every person, male or female." Hong ihua seriously instructed.
