Desperate people, accept the seed of my soul!

Judging from his physique, gait, and even his gloomy demeanor, it was undoubtedly Gao Tianyou.

"It's Gao Tianyou." A murderous glint flashed in Han Xiao's eyes. "Get ready."

Surrounded by bodyguards, "Gao Tianyou" strode into the narrow passage.

In a car a few hundred meters behind them, Lei Zhen was holding binoculars, his expression grave as he monitored the situation.

Inside the passage, "Gao Tianyou" had already reached the middle section.

A strong night wind suddenly rushed in from between the two buildings, creating a brief but powerful airflow.

It's now!

Han Xiao's eyes widened suddenly, and his mental power exploded instantly!

[Kinetic deflection]!

He captured the immense kinetic energy contained in the night wind, instantly gathering the originally scattered wind pressure into an invisible "air hammer," which slammed hard onto the side of the flowerpot that was tilted upwards!

"Squeak—"

The balance has been broken.

The flowerpot, weighing dozens of kilograms, tumbled and fell with a whooshing sound.

Under the influence of gravity, the flowerpot falls at an extremely high speed.

Han Xiao did not stop using his abilities. His gaze was fixed on the falling black shadow, and his mental power acted like an invisible guide, fine-tuning the angle of the flowerpot's roll and its trajectory.

Two degrees to the left... Correction!

Below, Gao Tianyou seemed to sense the unusual wind above him and instinctively tried to dodge to the left.

"Trying to hide? No way!"

At the edge of the rooftop, Xu Suyuan's eyes gleamed with a dark light.

Void Imprisonment!

An invisible, deep-sea pressure instantly descended upon the center of the passage.

Just as Gao Tianyou was about to make an evasive maneuver, his body suddenly stiffened. The stagnation, which defied the laws of physics, made him feel like a robot that had been suddenly powered off, frozen in place.

Even a mere 0.5 seconds can be the difference between life and death when faced with a falling object.

"Bang--!!!"

A loud bang exploded in the narrow passage.

The potted cactus plant landed squarely on Gao Tianyou's head.

The terracotta basin shattered instantly, splattering dirt and blood everywhere.

Before Gao Tianyou could even scream, he collapsed to the ground, the red and white objects appearing particularly glaring under the light.

"I got it!" Xu Suyuan clenched her fist, a surge of joy welling up inside her.

However, Han Xiao's expression froze the next second.

His gaze was fixed intently on what was below.

Not right.

Something's really wrong.

The four henchmen's reaction was strange... They showed no panic whatsoever even after their superior was crushed to death on the spot.

They neither shouted for help nor tried to rescue the patient. Instead, they immediately pressed their earpieces and calmly whispered something.

and……

Amidst the shattered clay and cacti, the hat was knocked away, revealing a blood-soaked profile.

That face... although the profile is similar, it's definitely not Gao Tianyou!

That was a stunt double who was clearly much younger!

"Trap! That's a decoy! Retreat!!"

Han Xiao suddenly grabbed Xu Suyuan's arm.

But it was too late.

Next to the black Mercedes that had been parked on the side of the road to deliver "Gao Tianyou", an identical black Mercedes suddenly appeared.

The real Gao Tianyou, dressed in tactical gear, emerged under the protection of four elite men armed with powerful flashlights and pistols.

He didn't even glance at the substitute corpse on the ground. Instead, he raised his head, and his sinister eyes, seemingly meeting Han Xiao's gaze from eight stories away.

"We've found you."

With a wave of his hand, Gao Tianyou unleashed several blinding beams of light that tore through the darkness and locked onto the edge of the rooftop terrace of the commercial and residential building.

At the same time, on the other side of the passage, the main entrance to the first floor of the Jin Mao Tower suddenly burst open.

slam-la-

A dozen or so burly thugs, armed with clubs, surged out like a tide.

They were clearly well-prepared and had been divided into two well-trained teams.

One team blocked all the exits around the commercial and residential building, while the other team searched upwards floor by floor from the first floor.

……

A blinding beam of light pierced the night sky like a sword, sweeping wildly across the edge of the rooftop of the commercial and residential building. Shouts and footsteps intertwined to create a suffocating web.

Han Xiao pressed down hard on Xu Suyuan's shoulders, the two of them pressed against the inner shadow of the parapet.

His heart was pounding, but his mind remained perfectly calm; his special forces tactical skills were operating at their peak at that moment.

trap.

Without a doubt, this was a meticulously planned trap.

The "Gao Tianyou" who was smashed into a pulp by the flowerpot was just a pitiful stand-in. The real hunter was hiding in a safe place, enjoying the prey's embarrassing situation after being caught.

But something's not right.

Han Xiao listened intently; the noisy footsteps and shouts weren't heading towards their building, but rather...

"Quick, get to the rooftop! Seal off the rooftop!"

"Search! Those two are up there!"

The sound was coming from the other side.

Han Xiao suddenly leaned forward and quickly glanced down.

The thugs wielding sticks were seen frantically pouring into the entrance of the commercial and residential building across the street, and most of the main force blocking the street was also concentrated there.

In an instant, Han Xiao understood.

The flowerpot fell from the rooftop of the building opposite.

Gao Tianyou and his men subconsciously identified the source of the attack as the rooftop across the street.

This was a fatal misjudgment, but also the only chance of survival in a desperate situation.

"They've got the wrong building!" Han Xiao pulled Xu Suyuan up, speaking rapidly. "They'll realize it in just a few dozen seconds. The area below our building is currently undefended."

Xu Suyuan nodded and said, "Shall we take this opportunity to retreat?"

"No, we can't retreat. There are definitely spies around. Once we leave this chaotic area, we'll be hunted down." A ruthless glint flashed in Han Xiao's eyes as he drew the pistol from his waistband—the one seized from Iron Hand's corpse. "We have to go down and take out the real Gao Tianyou!"

The most dangerous place is the safest place.

At this very moment, Gao Tianyou, who cherishes his life like gold, must have thought victory was assured and was hiding in what seemed to be the safest command position.

"Use the fire escape! Quickly!"

……

Meanwhile, in an inconspicuous car a few hundred meters away, Lei Zhen was observing the conflict scene through binoculars.

Through the lens, he could clearly see how the cactus had "coincidentally" hit "Gao Tianyou".

"Director Zhao, target spotted!"

While continuing his observation, Lei Zhen reported to Zhao Jianguo: "'Gao Tianyou' was hit on the head by what appears to be an object thrown from a height and died instantly! No... wait, the situation has changed. The deceased is Gao Tianyou's double! A large number of armed personnel have emerged from the scene!"

On the other end of the communicator, Zhao Jianguo replied, "Received! Lei Zhen, your current task is to observe and record. I have ordered the nearest patrol units and Wang Gang's special assault team to provide emergency support, but it will take them some time to get there. Until support arrives, prioritize your own safety and avoid direct intervention unless absolutely necessary!"

"Understood," Lei Zhen replied, his gaze fixed on the chaos.
