Chapter 260 Fatal Blow
The sniper was startled and immediately stopped, slowly turning around.
Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan stood not far away, their eyes filled with vigilance.
They were clearly prepared, holding props they had found on set – a fire extinguisher and a metal rod.
"How...how did you know I would be here?"
The sniper's voice was low and hoarse, trying to hide his surprise.
"We have our own methods."
Qiu Ziyue answered calmly, her gaze sharp.
"You'd better lay down your weapon now, or you'll face the consequences."
The sniper hesitated for a moment, clearly not expecting to find himself in such a predicament.
He knew he had already lost the initiative.
Although the two people in front of him were not professional agents, they seemed to be even more capable than professional agents, making him dare not make any rash moves.
Do you think I'd fall for that?
The sniper suddenly sneered, attempting to bluff.
“You have no idea what you are doing.”
“We know exactly what we are doing.”
Qi Yuxuan took over the conversation, his voice firm and powerful.
“We don’t know who you are, but you’re not leaving here today.”
At this moment, more crew members and security guards arrived and surrounded the sniper.
The situation instantly turned extremely unfavorable for the sniper.
He realized that continuing to resist would only get him into deeper trouble.
"Okay, I surrender."
The sniper finally gave up resistance and slowly raised his hands.
"Don't come any closer, listen to me."
Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan exchanged a glance and nodded.
They approached slowly, but maintained a wary distance.
The sniper took a deep breath and began to explain his identity and motives.
“I was hired; someone wants Qi Yuxuan to disappear.”
The sniper confessed,
"I don't know exactly who hired me, I only know that they paid me a very high salary."
But I regret it now, and I don't want to get involved in this mess anymore.
Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan exchanged a glance, seemingly understanding something.
They knew that there must be a bigger conspiracy behind this.
At this moment, the most important thing is to ensure the safety of the scene and contact the police as soon as possible.
"We will handle everything."
Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan successfully subdued the sniper and prepared to hand him over to the police who had arrived at the scene.
At this moment, the tense atmosphere on set eased slightly, but the two of them were still on edge.
They cautiously approached the subdued sniper to confirm that he had no intention of resisting.
"We will handle everything."
Qiu Ziyue said in a low voice, her eyes still scanning her surroundings warily.
Just then, a muffled gunshot rang out, breaking the brief silence.
A sharp bullet ripped through the air and struck the sniper squarely between the eyebrows.
The sniper's body jolted violently, then he slowly collapsed, falling into a pool of blood.
"careful!"
Qi Yuxuan shouted and quickly grabbed Qiu Ziyue's arm. The two of them leaped towards the nearest obstacle—a huge prop box.
Almost at the same moment, a second shot rang out, the bullet grazing the spot where they had just been standing, hitting the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.
Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan, hiding behind the obstacle, felt their hearts race and their breathing become rapid.
They knew perfectly well that this was a meticulously planned attack, and that the other side was clearly not going to give up easily.
"Who?"
Qiu Ziyue asked in a low voice, her eyes fixed on the front, trying to find traces of the attacker.
Qi Yuxuan lowered his voice and answered:
"I don't know, but we must stay calm and find a way to get out of this."
Just as they were nervously observing their surroundings, a masked man stood up from a corner in the distance.
He was holding a sniper rifle.
That man was Li Tao, one of Black Third Master's most trusted subordinates.
His eyes were cold and resolute, clearly indicating that this operation was meticulously planned by him.
Li Tao raised his gun again and aimed at Qi Yuxuan, who was hiding behind the obstacle.
However, due to issues with distance and angle, he had lost the optimal firing position.
Seeing this, Li Tao quickly made a decision: no more time wasted, and he turned and fled the scene in another direction.
"Let's ensure safety first."
Qi Yuxuan said softly, while gesturing for Qiu Ziyue to remain quiet.
Moments later, the sound of sirens grew louder as more police officers arrived at the scene.
Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan slowly stood up from behind the obstacle, their faces showing complex emotions.
They knew that this was just the beginning, and the conspiracy behind it was far beyond their imagination.
Seeing Li Tao flee the scene, they decided without hesitation to give chase.
They swiftly leaped from behind the obstacles, displaying their agility and moving like ghosts through every corner of the film set.
Although Li Tao was agile, he clearly did not expect these two to have such superb skills.
"Who are you people? How did you get here so fast?"
As Li Tao ran, he couldn't help but turn back and shout, his tone filled with obvious surprise and unease.
"Then you don't need to worry about it."
Qiu Ziyue responded coldly, without stopping her steps.
"Speak! Who sent you? Why do you want to kill us?"
Qi Yuxuan followed closely behind, his eyes revealing a firm determination:
"We must give an explanation today."
Li Tao was startled, realizing that the two people in front of him were no ordinary people.
He tried to change direction, looking for an opportunity to escape.
But Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan followed closely behind, giving him no chance to catch his breath.
"Don't push me!"
Li Tao suddenly stopped and turned to face the two of them.
He still held a sniper rifle in his hand, attempting to intimidate them with his weapon.
"Relax, we just want to find out what happened."
Qi Yuxuan spoke calmly, slowly raising his hands to indicate that he meant no harm.
"If you tell us the truth, we might consider letting you go."
Li Tao hesitated for a moment, but ultimately put down the gun in his hand.
He knew that continuing to resist would only put him in greater danger, so it was better to use a plan to stall them.
"Okay, I'll talk..."
He took a deep breath and began to recount the conspiracy behind it.
“I was also hired, and the employer seemed to have great hostility towards Qi Yuxuan.”
Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan exchanged a glance, realizing that there must be a bigger conspiracy behind all of this.
But they also know that the most important thing now is to ensure their own safety and nip this threat in the bud as soon as possible.
"Do you know where the employer is hiding?"
Qiu Ziyue pressed for more details.
Li Tao shook his head:
“I’m just following orders; I don’t know the exact location. I can contact my superior; maybe he knows more.”
"Alright, then you can lead the way."
Qi Yuxuan nodded, gesturing for Li Tao to walk ahead.
The three of them proceeded cautiously, gradually moving away from the hustle and bustle of the film set.
Throughout the journey, Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan remained vigilant, ready to deal with any unexpected situations that might arise.
Finally, they arrived at a secluded alley, which was clearly Li Tao's meeting point.
At this moment, the sky gradually darkened, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.
"This is it."
Li Tao stopped and pointed to an abandoned warehouse ahead.
"My upline should be inside."
Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan exchanged a glance, both understanding that every step from now on would be fraught with unknown challenges.
The three of them entered the warehouse.
Suddenly, Li Tao ran into a small room inside the warehouse and quickly closed the door.
Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Ziyue were in the hall. Seeing that things were not going well, they quickly slipped away and hid behind a pillar inside the warehouse.
Thud, thud, thud…
A burst of gunfire rang out.
