The knife in Huo Yulin's hand had already cut open the glass. He smashed the glass with all his might, causing it to fall off. Then, he flipped over and jumped in.
A second before he jumped in, the leader's finger pulled the trigger.
Bang! A gunshot pierced through the night sky.
When he looked at the two connecting pillars again, there was no longer anyone on them.
The leader looked at the broken glass and nonchalantly blew at the barrel of his gun. He veered his eyes away and strode towards the elevator.
"Tell the men to collect the bodies."
The leader's light voice reverberated in the corridor. It was exceptionally clear.

At this time, Cheng Ming, who had already sneaked into the research institute through the back door, naturally heard the gunshot. His heart instantly sank to the bottom.
That Young Master Lin … Cheng Ming's eyes turned scarlet as he viciously knocked out another guard.
His subordinates had also taken care of the other people hidden in the periphery and surrounded Cheng Ming. Their expressions didn't look too good either.
Cheng Ming clenched his fists tightly. The murderous aura around him was about to explode.
Two seconds later, he suppressed his emotions and kept his mind clear. He said to the men beside him, "Young Master Lin is good at martial arts, so he will surely be able to avoid it. Based on the direction of the gunshot, leave a few men here to keep an eye on the situation. The rest of you, follow me next door."
Then he walked briskly towards the side building.
The others followed him.
On the other hand, Huo Yao abruptly stood up from her chair when she heard the alarm in her earpiece. An indescribable sense of heaviness filled her senses.
She had not felt this way in a long time. She felt as though she was about to lose something precious.
She stood there quietly for a long time before she heard a soft cough. "Where should I go now?"
Huo Yao's stiff expression gradually softened. She sat down again. "Are... are you okay?"
Huo Yulin propped himself up and leaned against the wall. His black night suit made it impossible to tell what color he was. He merely replied. "I won't die yet."
Huo Yao's fingers trembled. She quickly composed herself and explained the escape plan that she had come up with long ago.
"Okay." Huo Yulin stood up with the help of the wall. His head was a little heavy, and his vision was starting to blur. He bit his lip hard and walked toward the emergency exit.
The structure of the secondary building and the main building were slightly different. At this time, all the guards were gathered in the main building, so it was actually very safe here.
They would be safe for at least five minutes.
Huo Yao looked at the surveillance footage on the laptop. Just as she was about to say that the guards from the main building were on their way, she heard Huo Yulin's voice.
"I'm sure we know each other." Huo Yulin had already gone down to the third floor.
To avoid bumping into the guards downstairs, Huo Yao instructed him to take the emergency exit. The emergency exit on the first floor happened to be near the back door.
Huo Yao remained silent.
Huo Yulin didn't hear a response from his earpiece for a long time. He merely lowered his eyes and smiled. His voice was weaker than before. "No matter who you are, thank you for what you did today."
Huo Yao remained silent.
Huo Yulin did not say anything either. He held onto the wall as he walked down. His breathing became heavier and heavier. By the time he reached the second floor, he could barely move his feet.
At that moment, he heard footsteps coming from downstairs. There were at least five people.
Huo Yulin's hand trembled as he held onto the scalpel. He lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly.
