Chapter 26 The Powerful Yiwen
Looking at Yiwen who was eager to try, Shalan's mind emerged a scene where the two of them rushed downstairs laughing, like Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and then were shot to death by the gangsters downstairs. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that it would be too unwilling for this life to end in this way.
"Well... Yiwen, I just wanted to sneak over to investigate. If my father is fine, I don't want to expose myself, so let's forget about killing them all. Just let them go."
Yiwen raised her eyebrows and was about to say something, but Shalan suddenly covered her mouth. At this moment, they both heard the voice coming from the intercom.
"Number three, number three, is the second floor safe?"
Hearing the voice on the intercom, Shalan and Yiwen looked at each other, picked up the intercom decisively, and said in a hoarse voice: "This is number three, the second floor is safe and sound."
"...Okay, I understand."
When the voice in the intercom fell, Shalan immediately stood up and whispered: "Yiwen, they found something wrong here, let's make preparations quickly."
As she spoke, Shalan stood up and opened the window to see if she could continue to climb the wall to escape from here. If the first floor of Cynthia Mansion was not built to the height of a normal four or five-story building, and the second floor here was equivalent to the height of a normal five or six-story building elsewhere, Shalan really wanted to just jump from the second floor.
Opening the window and looking at the edge of the wall, Shalan nodded slightly and turned to ask Yiwen to leave. However, when Shalan turned around, she found that Yiwen was no longer in the room.
Slightly startled, Shalan immediately rushed out with a gun in hand, but just as he rushed out, he suddenly heard two muffled groans, followed by the sound of someone falling to the ground. Shalan's heart sank and he immediately rushed towards the stairs.
However, when Shallan rushed to the stairs, she saw Yiwen standing there with the pistol in her left hand and a steel dagger in her right hand. Two masked men were lying at her feet, and each of them had his throat cut open, deader than dead.
Walking in front of Yi Wen, Sha Lan looked at her and suddenly felt that Yi Wen, who read and studied with her every day, was a little strange. However, her image also became fuller. She no longer seemed very far away, but was right in front of her.
Seeing Shalan approaching and the unclear look on her face, Yiwen raised her eyebrows and laughed softly, "Why, are you surprised that I'm a woman who kills without blinking an eye?"
"No, I'm just a little curious. You were sly and witty when chatting with me, you were knowledgeable and calm when studying, and you are agile and decisive now. Which one is the real you? Or is there more to you than just these few sides? There are more sides that I haven't seen yet."
After hearing Shalan's words, the trace of worry in Yiwen's eyes instantly disappeared. She tilted her head and smiled, "It should be the latter. At least in my opinion, you still don't know me well enough."
"Okay, I'll get to know you soon."
"I hope you're quick enough."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yiwen greeted Shalan with a dagger and a pistol in hand, came into a room, opened the window and climbed out. Under Shalan's surprised gaze, Yiwen quickly climbed down by grabbing the edge of the wall with both hands, pushed open a window below with one hand, and then jumped directly in.
Seeing this, Shalan smiled bitterly. She originally thought she was a hero saving a beauty, but it turned out that the beauty she wanted to save was the big boss.
Immediately following Iwen, she climbed down from the edge of the wall, and Shallan, like Iwen, swung slightly and jumped into a window below.
When Shalan jumped into the window, she found that there were some corridors built around the walls above the ballroom. Through the inner railings, she could see the scene of the ballroom below.
Yiwen made a silent gesture to Shalan, and asked Shalan to look down through the guardrail together.
All the people who came to attend the dance were gathered together and squatting on the ground, but Shalan searched for a long time but couldn't find his father, Count Rawl Wermann.
"Ewen, my father isn't there."
"Not only your father, but Mayor Fred and my Grandpa Rod weren't there either."
"It seems that they were taken away, but I don't know where they were taken."
"This Cynthia Mansion is divided into two floors. There is no one on the second floor, which means they must be on the first floor. I remember there are several rooms behind the first floor that serve as lounges , toilets, and kitchens. I think they are most likely there."
"In this case, we have to find a way to find them, but how can we get close to them?"
At this point, Shalan and Yiwen both thought about it for a while, but soon they looked at each other, saw the brilliance in each other's eyes, and whispered almost at the same time: "Ventilation duct!"
Thinking of this, the two men immediately took action, lowering their bodies and crawling silently towards the back of Cynthia's mansion. Fortunately, the number of these masked bandits was not large. The fact that Shalan and Yiwen had killed three masked men just now allowed the masked men to separate a lot of their men to go to the second floor to check, which bought them a certain amount of time and space.
The two of them quickly found the ventilation duct in a conspicuous position on the wall. They carefully used a dagger to remove the cover on the entrance of the duct and climbed in one by one. Shalan and Yiwen closed the cover again and climbed along the general direction of the ventilation duct.
After climbing a little while, following the flow of wind and faint sounds, Shalan and Yiwen finally came to the ventilation duct above a room, but there was no trace of Luo Er and the other three inside, only some cooks and waiters under the guard of masked men.
Continuing to climb forward carefully, they finally found the fourth room. Shalan and Yiwen finally came to the room where Luo Er and the other two were imprisoned. However, in addition to Luo Er and the other two, there were three masked bandits in the room. One of them even took off his hood and said something to Luo Er and the other two.
"Count Werman, Viscount Fred, and this old gentleman whose identity is unknown but who is presumably of much higher status than Viscount Fred and Count Werman, I am here only to convey our organization's demands to you. As long as you can agree to our organization's demands, we can release you immediately. Otherwise, please forgive us for being rude."
