Chapter 733
Everyone around knew who he was. He was just bossing the cops around. Even Steve got a call from higher–ups.
So, this guy’s safety was more important than anyone else on the scene.
“Mr. Raymond, they’ve got it covered. Your safety is the priority.”
But lan wasn’t having any of it, already shrugging off his suit.
Seeing him ignoring their pleas, everyone was getting antsy.
lan held a gun, his tone casual.
“If anything happens to me, it’s none of your business.”
Time was of the essence, and they couldn’t afford to delay. Even if the 15th floor was empty just moments ago,
could it still be?
They didn’t dare to take the risk, so they hurriedly climbed up the pipelines to the 15th floor while there was no new
information.
Since all the windows on the 14th floor were locked, the kidnappers inside couldn’t see outside, so it was feasible to
climb up the pipelines.
Everyone wore an earpiece, allowing those who stayed behind to inform them of where to attack once they
received new information.
Climbing up pipelines was highly dangerous, especially with no safety measures and from such a height.
But lan was a former soldier, and this was a piece of cake for him.

A group of them began to scramble up like robust leopards.
Meanwhile, Maja was still on the 15th floor, worried that her information might be wrong, and kept patrolling.
She heard gunshots from downstairs, but the 15th floor was indeed empty.
What she didn’t know was that there was a masked man in the control room who was directing this group of people
on his own.
Downstairs, twenty kidnappers were still guarding the hostages. The man who initially agreed to play the game with
Maja had started to smell a rat.
It had been half an hour, and their guys were constantly monitoring. Why couldn’t they find Maja’s exact location?
He casually pointed at two men beside him, “You two, go check the control room, see what’s up there.”
There were six men guarding the control room, and logically, nothing should go wrong.
But he couldn’t shake off the uneasy feeling..
When the two men arrived at the control room, as soon as the door opened, they were greeted by two bullets.
Two more men down.
The bodies were dragged in and piled on top of others.
The masked man was like a puppet master hiding in the dark, casually leading this game.
He propped his chin with one hand, watching the surveillance with interest.
The Maja, in his eyes, was very smart. Most of the time, she was out of the surveillance range, and her shooting
was fast and ruthless.
She was clearly scared, constantly wiping the cold sweat from her palms, yet she appeared calm.
Very attractive.
A smirk played on his lips as he leisurely watched the surrounding screens. This was no longer a game between
Maja and the kidnappers but between Maja and
him.
However, Maja was oblivious to this dangerous situation. She stayed by the window. When she saw people climbing
up the pipeline, her pupils contracted significantly, as this was happening at a height of 15 floors.
However, she had no time to be surprised as she heard footsteps outside. Someone was about to enter the room.
She was frightened and immediately hid under the table. A pair of feet walked past her. It was clear that the person
was heading towards the window.
If he saw the men climbing up and reported to the other kidnappers, none of them on the pipeline would survive.
Maja’s heart pounded. She quickly crawled out from under the table, deliberately revealing herself to the
kidnapper’s sight, and then ran towards the corridor.
The kidnapper heard her and immediately turned around.
“Freeze!”
He also ran out, but he couldn’t see any trace of Maja in the corridor. He hastily opened the other doors on this
floor.
Maja was drenched in cold sweat, and she was now hiding behind an iron door.

When the footsteps got closer, she took out her gun and aimed at him.
However, the man was agile and kicked her gun away.
That kick injured Maja’s hand
The next second, the man brutally kicked her stomach.
Having seen the other bodies, he knew this woman was dangerous, so he showed no mercy.
“You cunning bitch, you’re asking for it!”
Maja was hoisted up by the man, blood smeared over her mouth.
The man ruthlessly pinned her onto the table, gripping her neck tightly.
“Where’s the stuff?”
Maja’s neck had already been bruised from the choking.
Now, being choked again, she was having trouble breathing.
“You cunning bitch, speak!”
She coolly shut her mouth, then violently bit the man’s hand.
The man screamed, then grabbed her head and smashed it against the wall.
Maja gritted her teeth, refusing to cry out in pain..
Just when she thought she was about to die, the man suddenly fell to the ground.
Maja collapsed on the floor, then someone helped her up and held her tightly.
“Are you okay? Are you hurt?”
It was lan.
His body was slightly trembling, holding her tightly.
Smelling his familiar scent, Maja’s eyes turned red instantly, and her fake calmness shattered.
She buried her face in his chest, biting her lip, trying hard not to cry.
