Chapter 789: Chapter 789: Spy
Since Qi Fenglian couldn’t return for the ti being, Cheng Su had no choice but to extend her ti helping out at the fast food restaurant. Thankfully, there was still a telephone, allowing her to remotely oversee the main Joy Soon Loy store and company business. Although it kept her busy, she was still able to manage everything.
While Cheng Su was busy and tense, the mission for Qi Taiguo was equally stressful. As the heads of state settled into the villa, he watched over them like an owl, terrified that even the slightest issue might arise.
The conference went smoothly and was nearing its conclusion without any trouble—right when Qi Taiguo was about to breathe a sigh of relief, chaos broke out in the villa.
First, during the press conference, an unidentified gas appeared in the eting room, causing pandemonium. All the important individuals were imdiately arranged to be evacuated.
While the situation in the eting room was still unresolved, Qi Taiguo felt a pang on his shoulder as a sentry in a guest room was attacked: "Spy, there’s a spy lurking."
Qi Taiguo’s head buzzed, and he instructed his companions through the walkie-talkie to block all exits while he himself sprinted toward the attacked guest room.
The guest room that had been attacked belonged to a certain country holding top-secret content; their bodyguards were guarding it, but now, they lay sprawled at the door.
Qi Taiguo radiated an intense aura as he barged into the room, where two of his own n were scattered on the ground in disarray.
One moved slightly, and Qi Taiguo rushed over. His comrade pointed towards the window and then passed out.
It was only then that Qi Taiguo noticed the window wide open, the gentle breeze causing the curtains to flutter softly.
There was the sound of rapid footsteps running towards the room, and Qi Taiguo heard a burst of garbled English exclaim loudly. Without a second thought, he dashed to the window.
Looking down, he saw a nimble figure just having scaled down the drainage pipe and jumped to the ground.
Qi Taiguo’s eyes widened abruptly as he yanked the curtain and leaped onto the pipe, climbing down swiftly like a gecko.
The "foreign devils" had already pounced over and naturally saw what was happening; they too jumped down, while others ran out from the building, trying to encircle the target.
Climbing was sothing Qi Taiguo had done frequently in past training missions. This year, during the team’s training, he had set up tree-climbing exercises. As the commanding officer, determined to lead by example and maintain strict personal discipline, he had climbed a few tis himself.
Therefore, scaling down a pipe wasn’t really a big deal for him.
The guest room was on the second floor, and in the blink of an eye, only about two or three ters remained to the ground. Qi Taiguo jumped, curling himself into a ball as he landed.
Without waiting to catch his breath, he unfurled his limbs and sprang up from the ground, chasing after the shadow ahead like a moose.
Far ahead, the figure wore dark blue work pants and a duckbill cap, running with agile and well-practiced movents.
Qi Taiguo, seeing the direction of the escapee’s run towards the back mountain, knew it would beco even harder to catch them once there and consequently hastened his steps.
Thanks to the devilishly tough training he had undergone that year, Qi Taiguo’s abilities had significantly improved. With this burst of speed, he quickly closed the gap to just five ters from the target.
"Stop, you can’t escape!" Qi Taiguo yelled, simultaneously drawing his pistol from his waist.
Hearing Qi Taiguo’s shout, the runner hesitated for a brief mont, then sped off even faster.
Bang.
The gunshot from Qi Taiguo hit the ground just beneath the escapee’s feet, spraying dirt up from a hole.
The figure hesitated again, and in the critical mont of flight, that hesitation allowed Qi Taiguo to grab hold of the hat and yank it off, causing the person to turn around.
"You!" Qi Taiguo’s eyes widened, his face filled with shock.
