Chapter 400 - 382: The Power of Money
Chapter 400: Chapter 382: The Power of MoneyThe family-run hotel was old but had an air of distinction, with five stories, the walls painted green, and the window frames a light red.
The hotel was built directly on the riverbank, allowing one to jump right into the water from the windows.
In front there was a narrow footpath, devoid of cars but filled with parked bicycles.
The front entrance was small and narrow, with a glass door marked with an "Open for Business" sign, indicating vacancies within.
Gao Yi was keen to witness Green’s methods, while Green was only interested in seeing how Gao Yi operated, so they both walked past the hotel’s front entrance in silence, without stopping or speaking.
After they had walked well past the hotel, Gao Yi could not help but ask, "What should we do now?"
"Isn’t that for you to decide? I thought you were going to go straight in just now," replied Green.
"Seeing as you didn’t say anything, I thought maybe you wanted to do some reconnaissance first."
Green spread his hands in resignation, and Gao Yi said with a wry smile, "You’re the teacher, so of course I’ll do whatever you teach me to."
"I’d like to see your choices. What would you usually do?"
Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Go in, find the person, take them out, and then leave."
Green sighed and then suddenly asked, "Did you learn that from the KGB?"
"The KGB? No, I don’t know anyone from the KGB. Why do you ask?"
"It’s the Russian ’brute force’ style."
Green looked back at the hotel, thought for a moment, and said, "I am very interested in seeing your approach, but the KGB-style brute force... I’m worried it might complicate matters."
"I’m learning from you, so you should teach me what to do."
At that point, there was no need for courtesy. Iron Fist George was such a good opportunity for practice that it would have been a waste to just barge in and eliminate him.
Green didn’t make any move; he simply said, "It’s three twenty-five in the afternoon. We’re looking at a five-story family hotel, with the target inside, but we’re not sure which room. In this situation, how would you determine the target’s room?"
Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "If our team has the hotel surrounded, then Iron Fist George can’t escape. Since he can’t get away, even if it means
"Sir, would you mind..." The landlady tried to explain the situation, but she knew she’d give it away as soon as she spoke. Not knowing what to do, she looked to Green.
Green nodded slightly, making a forward-pushing gesture.
Without hesitation, Gao Yi squeezed past the landlady, not even bothering with the doorknob; instead, he kicked the door open with force.
The landlady let out a shriek, and as she screamed, the door flew open with Gao Yi’s kick.
Gao Yi intended to rush in after breaking through the door, but the instant it flew open, he noticed someone inside seemed to be pointing a gun at the door, so he abandoned his plan to enter and quickly dodged to the side.
As Gao Yi moved out of the way, a gunshot echoed, and the rebounding door now sported a bullet hole.
Everything happened very fast.
Deciding how to proceed took a long time, but confirming that Iron Fist George was here took only seconds.
