These three individuals had exceptionally high asking prices, and their kill rate was above 80%. They were highly skilled assassins,” Qin Wan said, “These three wouldn’t easily collaborate with anyone unless…”

Gu Ci instantly thought, “They had come to kill my brother.”

“Xiao Min had really crossed the line!” Qin Wan fumed, her anger simmering. “I wouldn’t spare her. She was an ungrateful traitor.”

“Black Hawk is helping us find my brother, and Xiao Min knows deep down that if my brother is alive, she’s as good as dead. So, she won’t let him live. 1 still hold a glimmer of hope, thinking it might be Rong Li sowing discord, deliberately spreading false information. I didn’t expect her to truly betray us,” Gu Ci remained calm. “Master, don’t focus on Xiao Min. Keep an eye on them. 1 want to know their movements.”

Before they take action, they will surely gather information.

Gu Ci and Qin Wan disembarked and returned to the cafe. Qin Wan crushed ice cubes, thinking of them as Xiao Min, with an audible crunch. However, Gu Ci had something else on her mind. Xiao Min’s betrayal of her brother was certainly orchestrated from above. If she was now a double agent, loyal to both Rong Li and her superiors, her information would be highly valuable.

Where these three mercenaries gather intelligence, her brother would be held nearby. They needed to find the optimal ambush route.

Gu Ci’s heart raced as she raced against time to learn the location before they did.

“Should 1 just grab Xiao Min and interrogate her directly?” she suggested.

“It would startle the snake in the grass. If Xiao Min and the assassins still need to coordinate a secret signal, her disappearance would make them abandon the mission. It would be counterproductive,” Qin Wan explained.

Qin Wan knew that when it came to strategy, she couldn’t match Gu Ci. So, she simply followed her lead. Qin Wan’s personal style leaned more towards solving problems in a rough and straightforward manner.

Dr. North quickly provided them with information. They had pinpointed the location; all three had entered a large building. The building had a significant number of security cameras. As they made their way to the rooftop, Qin Wan and Gu Ci appeared in the building. When they arrived, Dr. North had already deployed a flying surveillance drone on the rooftop. The three of them observed the ground route.

“This target is quite broad,” Qin Wan frowned. As an assassin herself, she knew that before executing a mission, one would gather information. If they observed the building opposite, the information would be concentrated, but watching the exposed area would be challenging, making it difficult to guess their target.

“Don’t rush. When they leave, we’ll pay them a visit!” Gu Ci suggested.

After Gu Ci and Qin Wan left, they parked their car on the side of the road near the building. The three assassins had stayed on the rooftop for over an hour. Dr. North was cautious not to get too close to their route, fearing that it might alert them.

Once the three assassins left, Qin Wan and Gu Ci also ascended the building.

Qin Wan put herself in her own shoes as an assassin. If she were here, what would she do? She held a pair of binoculars, observing all the roads and buildings within her field of vision.

Gu Ci didn’t interrupt her, as she wasn’t particularly skilled in this aspect, so she awaited Qin Wan’s conclusion.

The building they were in was very tall, offering a clear view. Qin Wan looked at the surveillance footage, observing three different directions. Standing in their position, Qin Wan tried to see the surroundings from her perspective.

The last time she assassinated Lu Zhiyuan, she had also conducted reconnaissance. She wasn’t sure about Lu Zhiyuan’s exact route, so she had to select the most suitable sniper angle. Gu Ci was aware of this, “Could this be their sniper point?”

“No,” Qin Wan dismissed the idea, “There are too many obstacles, and the personnel are scattered. The long-range visibility isn’t clear. If this were a sniper point, those three buildings would be the holding location. If they were here for reconnaissance, it’s possible that the vehicle containing the target will pass through here.”

“If I remember correctly, that road leads to the airport expressway, right?” Gu Ci pointed northward.

“Yes,” Qin Wan confirmed.

Gu Ci seemed lost in thought, while Qin Wan couldn’t quite figure out why they had come here. This wasn’t a good sniper point. If they were only interested in the route, what were they observing?

As they continued to observe, they suddenly heard footsteps. Qin Wan and Gu Ci exchanged glances, both on high alert. Qin Wan put down her binoculars, took two steps forward, positioning herself in front of Gu Ci, partially shielding her. Her hand rested on the firearm at her hip.

“Ji Chi?”

It was Ji Chi and his bodyguard, Nick, who had arrived. Ji Chi had brought one other person with him, his face extremely pale in the sunlight. He walked with a somewhat floating gait, his arm immobilized with bandages and suspended against his chest.

Qin Wan raised an eyebrow, teasingly saying, “Oh, you’re still alive.”

“I have a tough life, can’t die!” Ji Chi’s voice was hoarse. He nodded in greeting to Gu Ci.

“So, what brings you here?” Qin Wan asked.

“I come to do whatever you guys are doing,” Ji Chi replied. He moved cautiously toward the rooftop’s edge, his gaze fixed intently in one direction. Nick handed him a pair of binoculars, and Ji Chi began observing the surrounding environment.

Ji Chi had also followed the trail of Xiao Min.

“I went to the South Dock today and unexpectedly saw Xiao Min in contact with three assassins. You suspect her too?” Gu Ci inquired.

“If my brother is alive, she’s as good as dead. If I were her, I’d definitely kill my brother,” Ji Chi’s voice was cold. “Rong Li won’t play both sides; he’ll do his best to protect him. If Xiao Min can’t influence him, she’ll find a way. By following her, 1 can gather clues.”

Although Qin Wan didn’t particularly like Ji Chi, she admired his intelligence and determination.

“Don’t bother looking anymore; I’ve been watching for a while and haven’t seen any clues. This definitely isn’t a sniper point. What are they here for?” Qin Wan expressed her confusion.

Ji Chi smirked and pointed straight ahead. “There’s a prison over there.”

“What?” Gu Ci, still holding binoculars, looked in the direction he was pointing. “Isn’t that a church?”

This was the city center, after all!

“It’s a maximum-security prison,” Ji Chi stated.

Gu Ci found it hard to believe. “Is Europe that extravagant? Having a prison in such prime downtown real estate?”

“It’s an old prison,” Ji Chi explained. “This city preserves its historical buildings; they won’t demolish it. They renovate the interior.”

“So, my brother is in the prison?” Qin Wan furrowed her brows. If that was the case, it would be very tricky. They couldn’t simply raid a prison; the risk was too high.

Ji Chi looked at Qin Wan with a subtle expression.

Sensing a hint of disdain, Qin Wan asked, “What do you mean?”

“Is he really the one who raised you?” Ji Chi asked.

“What’s that supposed to mean? Are you jealous?” Qin Wan retorted.

Ji Chi gave a nonchalant smile. “No, it’s just that you don’t seem to have absorbed even half of his intelligence. It’s amusing.”

Gu Ci and Qin Wan gaped.

Gu Ci chimed in, “I see now. My brother is in the prison, and in the coming days, he will be transported back to the country. They plan to ambush him on this airport route. They’re mapping the nearby terrain, but the uncertainty of a sniper shot is too high. They will strike on the ground and map out the area, not to kill my brother, but to escape..”
