Chapter 296: Chapter 215 Okay, Let’s Fight!_2

He skillfully operated the remote controller, and the high-end drone took off very quietly, silently approaching the target building.

It was a modest six-story residential building. Bai Shi’s gaze was fixed on the screen, his expression solemn and focused.

As the drone reached the sixth floor, a clear thermal image slowly appeared on the screen.

Two red, human-shaped outlines suddenly appeared in the living room of Bai’s house; it seemed they were conversing.

A chill flashed through Bai Shi’s eyes as he rapidly calculated various possibilities.

"Nick, there are two people inside."

"They’ve found something; the cameras I installed at home and some hidden compartments for storing things have all been discovered and destroyed,"

Bai Shi whispered, his gaze shifting from the screen to his partner beside him.

On hearing this, Nick Horton’s brow furrowed slightly.

The two exchanged a knowing look and immediately began a brief yet efficient strategic discussion.

"Should we kill them directly, or should we leave a survivor?"

Nick asked upon hearing this.

He wasn’t worried about disposing of the bodies, as Bai Shi had his own connections and methods in this area.

"Try to leave one alive; I’ve prepared the truth serum. We need to figure out where these guys are from, to prepare for completely eradicating them,"

Bai Shi said earnestly.

He didn’t just want to resolve everything at home; he wanted to follow the trail back to the source and eliminate the trouble entirely.

Nick Horton guessed it might be the Drug Lord’s retaliation, but the specifics were unclear, so they still needed to use the truth serum to inquire about the intelligence.

Of course, what he mentioned was just to try to keep a survivor.

Sometimes it wasn’t possible to keep a survivor if you wanted to.

After all, even though they were wearing bulletproof vests, it was not guaranteed to stop bullets.

Not to mention rifle bullets; even if it were a powerful handgun at close range, it’s questionable if the bulletproof vest could stop it.

If the bulletproof vest can’t stop the bullet, then it’s obviously a direct send-off, as in normal human understanding, no one in this world can withstand bullets.

Even powerful animals like tigers and elephants would vanish in a few shots from a rifle.

If you pull the trigger all the way, even a several-ton elephant would be turned into a sieve and a pile of pulp.

So in any situation, one must emulate the tactics of the Lighthouse Country’s police, where the priority is to neutralize the threat first to protect oneself.

Keeping a survivor is something to attempt if possible, but it cannot be forced.

"I wonder if the person who chased us this afternoon is here; we need to consider the possibility of more than those two people,"

Nick Horton cautioned warily.

And this, Bai Shi had naturally considered as well.

"I’ll set up some warning devices outside; there will be alerts if others come."

"By then, with the two prepared guns we have, we won’t be afraid of one person,"

Bai Shi replied seriously.

In Hua Country, the opponents couldn’t get more than a handgun or perhaps a homemade shotgun; it’s impossible for them to acquire rifles.

And with just handguns.

It was two against one, well-prepared; they wouldn’t lose.

After discussing some more,

the two tentatively settled on a plan.

"I’ll draw their attention at the main entrance, and you go from the fire escape in the adjacent unit up to the rooftop and then quickly climb into the bedroom balcony. We’ll move simultaneously, aiming for swift action," Bai Shi’s voice was calm and resolute, each word carrying an undeniable decisiveness.

Nick Horton nodded and added, "I know, when at least one of them is drawn over there, that’s my chance to strike from behind."

The two confirmed the plan, and without many words, began preparing separately.

Despite the plan being dangerous, both men had no doubts about each other’s understanding and ability.

Bai Shi adjusted his equipment, ensuring everything was ready.

Meanwhile, Nick Horton moved into the shadows, quietly heading towards the fire escape.

His movements were quick.

Soon, he smoothly picked the lock to the rooftop door and made his way up to the building’s rooftop.

Lock-picking posed no difficulty for him; it was a basic skill for refined thieves like him.

The afternoon sun quietly bathed the empty rooftop. All around was silence, occasionally broken by the sounds of birds chirping in the distance.

Nick Horton stood alone on the rooftop’s edge, with the clear, cloudless sky overhead and dizzying heights below.

Yet, this experienced operative showed no fear at such heights, only calm and determination.

The moment he stepped onto the rooftop, he quickly surveyed the area. After confirming that there were no people downstairs or around, he headed straight for the edge of the rooftop.

He estimated the distance, silently calculating the floors and the position of the balconies, then took out a specially made climbing rope from his backpack.

He securely fastened one end of the rope to a sturdy pillar on the rooftop.

His technique was skilled and quick, each knot being the result of rigorous training to ensure foolproof security.

Next, Nick Horton carefully checked the rope’s fixation. Once he was sure everything was correct, he took a deep breath and began to don his safety gear.

The rope wrapped tightly around his waist and thighs, each carabiner meticulously checked to ensure there was no possibility of loosening.

After preparing, Nick Horton stood at the edge of the rooftop and said through his real-time communication earpiece to Bai Shi, "I’m in position!"

Once Bai Shi confirmed Nick Horton was ready on the rooftop, he instinctively glanced again at the thermal imaging from the drone.

Making sure there were no incidents.

After a long hesitation, Bai Shi took out his phone and sent a message to Chen Yun, "If I don’t come back for a long time... keep an eye on Xiao Wen."

After sending this message, Bai Shi took a deep breath.

With Chen Yun, that inscrutable fellow, he wasn’t too worried about how Xiao Wen would fare if something happened to him.

If only Chen Yun weren’t currently far away in Jiangnan Province.

Bai Shi really wanted to ask him if he could come over and lend a hand.

Thinking this, Bai Shi turned off his phone.

"Begin the operation!"

Saying this, Bai Shi took the first step towards the front door.

Nick Horton, without hesitation, lightly pushed with his feet, and his body slowly descended along the rope, his movements smooth and steady.

As he gradually lowered in height, Bai Shi’s balcony room came closer and closer, and Nick Horton’s face showed only focus and resolve.

Eventually, when his toes securely touched the edge of the balcony, Nick Horton knew this phase of the mission was successful.

He quickly unfastened the rope and slipped into the shadows of the balcony. After ensuring no one had noticed, he silently and effortlessly picked the lock of the balcony door.

However, he didn’t go out immediately but waited for Bai Shi to reach their position.

Meanwhile, Bai Shi, precisely timed, followed the stairs up to his family’s sixth-floor door.

The two of them synchronized like a precise clock at this moment.

Before the operation.

Bai Shi had set up a small signal jammer near the door, ensuring no messages could leak out from this location.

He also placed a simple infrared-triggered alarm device at the door, positioned at about one meter fifty from the ground.

These simple infrared detectors were camouflaged as small mud spots on the wall, and anything passing by would vibrate his earpiece alerting him.

After completing these preparations.

Bai Shi, in disguise, knocked on the door.

He was dressed in a plain courier uniform, purposely smeared with a bit of dust, wearing a mask over his face and had his cap pushed low.

He held a forged delivery parcel in his hands, skillfully labeled to look convincingly real.

While waiting, he could feel his heart pounding in his chest, but his facial expression maintained a professional smile, as if he were just a regular courier doing his daily job.

No response came from the room for a long while.

But Bai Shi relentlessly kept knocking on the door.

Seeing no response inside, Bai Shi loudly called out, "Could you please open the door to sign off? Didn’t you say on the phone yesterday that you would be home?"

At that, sounds of rustling came from behind the door, followed by a cautious voice, "Just leave it at the door."
