Chapter 328: Mystical Lady 【148】_3
Among them were faces of Asian descent, Caucasian faces, and those with Asian appearances.
"Does anyone speak Mandarin?" Wang Longhu asked.
"What do you want to do?" an Asian man calmly retorted.
"Do you know where Oda Hongxin is?"
"What are you looking for him for?"
Whiz!
Wang Longhu picked up a pen from the table beside him and suddenly threw it.
The sharp tip of the pen pierced through the shoulder of one of the researchers, causing him to kneel in pain and howl in misery.
"Don’t give me any nonsense, or next time I won’t aim for the shoulder." Wang Longhu said coldly.
"He’s in Building 3, Lab 404 on the fourth floor, but there are White Lotus Society experts protecting him there. It won’t be easy for you to capture him," the Asian researcher replied after glancing calmly at his injured colleague.
Not all the researchers at the White Lotus Society headquarters were there because of a large sum of money.
Some were coerced into joining the White Lotus Society because their families were threatened, forcing them to work for them.
Therefore, when Wang Longhu, someone clearly hostile to the White Lotus Society, appeared, those discontent with the Society would jump at the chance to secretly sabotage them.
"What building is this?" Wang Longhu asked.
"Building 5. You can go to the rooftop and then use the glass stairway to go to the southeast building; that’s Building 3."
"Thanks."
Once Wang Longhu left, the researchers in the lab breathed a sigh of relief.
One of the Caucasian researchers said worriedly, "Li, you shouldn’t have told him so much. If your leak causes any problems, and the White Lotus Society finds out, you’ll be punished."
The Asian researcher scoffed, "They wouldn’t dare. The ’Celestial Plan’ has reached a crucial step, and the White Lotus Society can’t easily harm any researcher. Otherwise, if it affects the White Lotus Saint Emperor’s plan, they can’t afford the repercussions.
Rather than talking about this, let’s hurry up and get Brook some treatment. His injury is quite severe."
...
Upon reaching the rooftop, the high winds immediately ruffled Wang Longhu’s hair.
Before him was a spacious rooftop, and indeed, as the researcher mentioned earlier, there was a glass stairway connecting to other buildings, allowing access between them.
Wang Longhu took a few steps but suddenly felt a chill at the back of his head and stopped instantly.
He didn’t turn around but was familiar with this feeling; he was being targeted by a killer.
Within a twenty-meter radius, there was no one around, highly likely a sniper.
Bang.
A faint gunshot sounded; the shooter must have a silencer on the gun, as the sound was very subdued.
Wang Longhu slid sideways; where he previously stood on the rooftop now had a bullet hole, emitting white smoke.
Bang.
Another shot fired. Wang Longhu reached out and grabbed a bullet flying towards his chest.
Holding the slow-moving bullet in his hand, when he opened his palm again, a deformed bullet lay quietly in his palm.
As a price, Wang Longhu’s hand was a bloody mess. Even though he managed to catch the bullet, he sustained some external injuries.
Bang.
Wang Longhu dodged, and the bullet hit the spot one meter behind him.
"Who the hell are you?"
After three bullets, a woman’s voice came from behind a water tower in the distance.
The next second, a woman with a high ponytail and tight clothes walked out, looking at Wang Longhu with a surprised expression.
"Were you testing me?" Wang Longhu frowned and asked.
As an assassin ambushing enemies from the shadows, they definitely aim for a lethal spot with their first shot.
But after the three bullets, Wang Longhu noticed an issue.
The woman was shooting at spots that allowed him time to dodge, meaning even if his skills were slightly worse, those three bullets wouldn’t hit him.
Yet, Wang Longhu deliberately chose not to dodge the second bullet and caught it with his bare hand, shocking the female sniper.
"The entire White Lotus Society is searching for you. You can’t escape. I don’t care why you came to the White Lotus Society headquarters, but if you want to survive, cooperating with me is your only choice." The woman’s voice was icy cold.
She put down the rifle in her hands, indicating goodwill and that she had no intention to fight Wang Longhu.
"Cooperate with you?" Wang Longhu laughed. "Why should I trust you?"
"Because like you, I’m not with the White Lotus Society, and I can help you achieve your goal here," the woman continued.
"Interesting, but even if we are to cooperate, it should be discussed later. I have someone to kill first." Wang Longhu tossed the bullet to the ground and turned to leave.
"Building 3 is guarded by many of the White Lotus Society’s experts; that’s their most heavily defended area. Going there is a path to death," the woman said helplessly, watching Wang Longhu ignore her completely, her eyes carrying a hint of pity as if seeing a doomed man.
She returned to her hidden spot with her rifle, choosing not to persuade Wang Longhu further.
It’s hard to advise someone who is determined to die.
...
On the rooftop of Building 3, a man with long, sunken cheeks was standing at its edge, smoking a cigarette.
He stood right on the rooftop’s railing, and below was a drop of over twenty meters, a slip could make him a bloody mess.
