Chapter 136: Hide and Seek (Part one)
Even if Shen Yao was stupid, she could still feel that something was wrong. When she was dragged down the stairs by Ran Jing, she anxiously asked, "What about Xu Cheng? We can't just leave him."
Ran Jing: "He has all kinds of means to get out of the situation, and us being present would only hinder him. Now, it's a sensitive period so the assassins would for sure kill everyone at the scene, so he would only be worry-free if we leave him."
Before Shen Yao could talk again, Ran Jing heard someone coming up the stairs and immediately shushed her.
At that moment, the two arrived at the 10th floor and walked right past a guy in a trench coat.
At first, Shen Yao didn't feel anything was off, but when she walked past him, she caught a glimpse of the scar on that man's face. She immediately felt a chill down her spine upon realizing that he was a killer!
Ran Jing helped her stay on her feet with her arm around her shoulder so she didn't appear too scared and expose themselves. The killer just glanced at the two of them and continued to go upstairs.
A while after that killer left, Shen Yao hurriedly wanted to say something, but Ran Jing immediately covered her mouth because another batch of assassins were coming up. This time, there were 4 of them. Shen Yao's pupils enlarged and she couldn't be more worried. So many people came to take Xu Cheng's life, would he be fine?
The two controlled their emotions really well and pretended to be just some random home owners here, not paying too much attention to the killers. The killers also briefly glanced at them and let them through.
After exiting the building, Shen Yao immediately grabbed onto Ran Jing's clothes and said, "Those people are assassins, right?"
Ran Jing nodded. "Xu Cheng probably knew there would be danger tonight, and that was why he kicked us out."
"Ah, I thought he was really chasing us out, how could I have been so stupid!" Shen Yao nervously said, "Let's call the police first, I think Xu Cheng's going to be in trouble with so many people after him."
Ran Jing said, worried as well, "There were even more. The five people we saw was just one stairway. If they already tampered with the elevators, then they would probably have people block the other stairway in the condo. That might not be all of them too…"
Shen Yao's face changed upon hearing this. "Oh crap, let's call the police right now. Xu Cheng should be able to stall this out a bit."
Ran Jing nodded and first led Shen Yao away from the condo before calling the criminal police unit over.
At the top floor, Xu Cheng rushed into his room, took out his pistol, and counted the bullets. He only had 6 rounds, and with his penetrating vision, he saw at least 9 people coming up from the two stairways. On top of that, there were at least 5 people waiting at the two stairway entrances. How did Xu Cheng know those people were here to kill him? Because each of them had a gun on them. Knowing that he wouldn't have enough bullets, he picked up two fruit knives and hid them in his sleeves.Then, after counting when those guys would arrive, he set a timer on an alarm with an LED screen and then placed it at the most noticeable spot in the living room.
When the assassins finally arrived at the highest floor, they looked at Xu Cheng's unit and said to their accomplices through the mic, "You sure he's in there?"

Chapter 137: Unbelievable (Part two)
Probably hearing all the noise, the pair of killers on the other end immediately ran through the corridor towards the stairway Xu Cheng was at. Xu Cheng just nonchalantly stood by the door, and when the two killers ran past them into the stairway, he shot both of them in the leg from behind.
The two guys immediately lost their balance after getting shot and fell to the ground. When they tried to turn around and shoot at Xu Cheng, he already pulled his triggers again and shot away the guns in their hands!
The two of them still wanted to fight back, Xu Cheng just kicked one of them over and then punched the other one in the face, knocking both unconscious.
After all that, Xu Cheng finally let out a sigh of relief and walked down the stairs.
When he got to the condo's lobby, Ran Jing's backup also arrived. Some of them immediately saluted upon seeing him. "Captain Xu, are you alright?"
Xu Cheng gestured with his head for them to go in.
The officers nodded and went up the stairs.
"Xu Cheng, are you okay?" Shen Yao and Ran Jing crossed the warning line and immediately asked Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng nodded his head. "All good."
Ran Jing looked at Xu Cheng and asked, "All taken care of?"
Xu Cheng nodded again. "The first wave was, but I don't know if they will send more in the future."
"Holy crap, these guys are just too wild!" Ran Jing muttered, "Do they think they are above the law or something? Are they officially declaring war against the police now?"
"Why didn't you tell me that there was danger? I even packed all my stuff, now I'm embarrassed…" Shen Yao scolded Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng bitterly smiled. "I know you like to join in on parties, so you wouldn't leave until I kicked you out. But it's good that you finished packing too, we still don't know if they will send more people so you should find another place to live for the time being."
Shen Yao looked at him and said, "Then you can come back to my house for a while, we have a very professional security detail so it's very safe. Since you let me live at your place for so long, count this as me showing you gratitude by inviting you over to my place."
Ran Jing agreed, "Yeah, just listen to Yaoyao and go live at her place for a while."
Shen Yao: "You should come as well. You obviously can't live at this place too. Before the four Gates' case ends, both of you should move to my place. Later on, you can find some other place after this is all over."
Xu Cheng: "Are your parents going to be okay with it?"
Shen Yao raised her eyebrows. "If they dare to have an opinion, then I won't ever go back again."
Ran Jing: "Okay, then bring Xu Cheng back first. I have to stay behind to clean up the mess and write a report."
Xu Cheng and Shen Yao nodded and then left.
Ran Jing turned around and went to the crime scene. At this moment, the whole condo was locked down and all suspicious personnel were arrested. Seeing her come up, the officer in the lead reported, "Captain Ran, we still need to fix the elevator."
Ran Jing nodded. "No civilians got hurt, right?"
Officer: "Not really, but Captain Ran, you just talked to Captain Xu, is he really fine? Did he not get hurt or something?"
Ran Jing was curious. "Why do you ask?"
Officer: "There were a total of 15 people this time, and now there are 9 dead and 6 alive. But in the 9 people that died, two people were killed by getting stabbed in the throat by fruit knives, 7 died from getting shot through the head with high precision. Not a single bullet was wasted, it was really one shot one kill. This is just too unbelievable…"
