Yi Jiali seemed to hear three ‘thump—’ sounds, the noise of bullets entering flesh.

It was her first time experiencing such a scene.

Although she often went to shooting clubs and had a gun license, she had never bought a gun, let alone been in a direct shootout on the street.

This was truly thrilling.

Thump thump thump—

Three bodies dressed in suits fell face-first onto the street.

Just a second earlier, they were assailants charging ahead with murderous intent, and now, they had become corpses, their warmth gradually fading away.

The bullets had gone through the center of their foreheads, their eyes wide open in a round stare, frozen in the last incredulous moment of their lives.

Yi Jiali stared blankly at the calm, silver-haired elderly man in front of her.

She felt both fear and excitement.

The fear originated from death, while the excitement came from the hunting instinct deep within the human body.

The image in her mind of a gentle and kind figure was gradually replaced by the image of this cold, resolute, and slightly mad silver-haired elderly man.

Honestly, purely from an aesthetic standpoint, this elderly gentleman looked somewhat handsome in this state.

“This should count as self-defense, right?”

He Ao put away his gun and looked at Yi Jiali.

“Huh?” When it came to professional matters, Yi Jiali quickly regained her composure.

She thought for a moment, “It should count, but there might be issues related to the unauthorized use of firearms.

However, there’s a high probability of an acquittal.

I can help you with your defense.”

“Good.”

He Ao knew Yi Jiali was a Ph.D.

in law from Dawn Law School, so her professional level should be beyond question.

He grabbed Yi Jiali’s wrist, retreating while suddenly pulling her aside, “But first, we need to save our lives.”

Boom—

The corner of the wall where they had been standing blasted apart, cement and debris scattering.

Watching this explosive scene, Yi Jiali suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

The gunfire on the street had been so sudden that she was somewhat panicked, without the chance to think it through.

The blast, however, made her acutely aware of their current predicament.

If He Ao hadn’t pulled her aside, she could have been blown to pieces, left with only half a body,

“What was that…” She looked at He Ao in confusion, pointing at the blasted wall, “What was that?”

“Sniper.”

He Ao glanced at the shattered corner.

He immediately activated Super Memory, with every detail of the alley appearing in his mind—trajectories, wind speed, a clear path was simulated in his brain.

Then, he pulled Yi Jiali and ran deep into the alley.

They were near his home, and he was very familiar with the surrounding streets.

“Elderly gentleman, how did you know there was a sniper?”

Yi Jiali was still somewhat shaken, letting He Ao pull her as they ran.

“I didn’t, I guessed.”

He led Yi Jiali through constant turns deep in the alley and quickly entered an underground passage.

Having already shown his combat capability here and having suffered some setbacks, in line with Najia’s character, it was unlikely that there wouldn’t be other precautions in place.

Either more people would be arranged for a close chase or long-range shots would be taken from afar.

He Ao waited a while but saw no reinforcements; naturally, he guessed there were probably long-range backups in place.

In this world, without involving the Transcendent, long-range backups typically meant snipers.

Even Najia wouldn’t dare set up artillery in the city district.

But even in a chaotic place like the Aston District, a sniper’s presence should not occur.

Once it did, it would surely draw significant attention from the police, complicating matters.

So initially, the enemies didn’t have the sniper shoot right away but sent those three suit-clad men to tail them first.

If the sniper had taken the shot at that moment, it was possible to kill Yi Jiali or wound He Ao in one hit, but once the opportunity was missed, it was gone forever.

Of course, this was also within He Ao’s expectations.

“Elderly, where are we going?”

Yi Jiali, pulled along by He Ao, was running breathlessly.

She found that she had to put forth all her effort just to keep up with this slightly limping old man’s pace.

No, if the elderly hadn’t been dragging her along, she wouldn’t have been able to keep up with his speed at all.

“Here we are,” He Ao arrived at an alley entrance, pulled Yi Jiali behind him against the wall, then let go of her hand and took the cane hanging from his waist, “Don’t move from here.”

With one hand on the cane and the other holding a gun, he limped out of the alley toward the small door at the bottom of the building ahead.

This was not the main entrance of the building but a back door used by internal staff.

As He Ao walked forward, the silver metal door slowly opened, and a man dressed in a pure black combat suit, helmet on his head, pushed the door open, carrying a black sniper rifle over a meter long.

As he stepped out, he came face-to-face with He Ao. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

After a moment of stunned surprise, he quickly depressed the firearm in his hands.

A sniper rifle, not as handy as a pistol, leaves a sniper with only one chance to fire at close range,

and by that time, He Ao had already raised his hand.

Bang—

A clean shot to the forehead, the bullet passed through the brain, shattering the back of the man’s head, and his motion to aim the gun halted in that instant.

His eyes gradually lost focus as he fell to the ground.

When the sniper had previously fired at the wall, He Ao had roughly estimated his position, and after filling in the details with Super Memory, it was easy for him, with his basic expertise in firearms, to find the sniper’s exact location.

His running wasn’t an attempt to escape; he was hurrying to catch the sniper before he could get away.

He Ao waited a moment but no one else emerged.

Some snipers are paired with an observer who provides them with sniping data and protects the sniper.

It seemed this one operated solo, without an observer.

Snipers who move in the underworld find it difficult to trust anyone and generally work alone.

Using his cane, He Ao slowly turned around.

Just then, a black sedan gradually drove out from the other side of the building.

The dark muzzle was aimed straight at He Ao’s back.

Bang—

He Ao holstered his gun, turned back around, and continued on, leaning on his cane.

Meanwhile, inside the nearby sedan, a man holding the steering wheel in one hand and his gun in the other had his eyes wide open, fresh red blood running down from his forehead to his cheek.

His hands fell limply and the dark pistol slid from his grasp onto the floor of the driver’s seat.

The uncontrolled sedan hit the wall of the adjacent building head-on.

A sniper rifle is always conspicuous, and if that sniper came down directly holding his rifle, it was either to change position quickly or because someone was downstairs waiting to pick him up in a car.

When He Ao waited a while and the guy didn’t show up, the only option was to bait him with a feigned vulnerability.

“Elderly…

this?”

Yi Jiali, peering from the alley entrance, felt her mind was a complete mess.

Her life in the past twenty-eight years hadn’t been as thrilling as this short half-hour today.
