Long Yu fell silent for a moment before saying, "I don't know. But since we only have four hours, we need to find Gao Shuwei as soon as possible. As for the kidnapped ability users, I will contact Captain Wu and the others and let them rescue those ability users."
Yaoran still had doubt in her heart, but time was running out, so she could only agree to Long Yu's plan. "Alright."
Making their decision, Long Yu quickly sent messages to Wu Yehao, Jiang Chen, and Xu Ruihan.
[Change of plan. Ran Ran and I will locate and eliminate Gao Shuwei. You guys focus on rescuing the kidnapped ability users before the bombing begins.]
Then, he sent another message to Shi Xuan.
[A Xuan, evacuate Chairman Yao immediately.]
A second later, four responses came simultaneously:
[Got it.]
[Yes, Captain.]
[Roger that.]
[Understood.]
After closing the messages, Long Yu continued flying toward the headquarters building. Within minutes, he landed on the rooftop.
With the invisible barrier generator still active, he took Yao Ran's hand and whispered, "Gao Shuwei lives on the top floor. Let's head down and see if he is there. When the opportunity arises, we will kill him and leave before reinforcements arrive."
"Alright."
Meanwhile, on the top floor, their target stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the chaos unfold below.
Hands in his pockets, Gao Shuwei's eyes flickered as he muttered, "So you two really came. Saves me the trouble of luring you here."
Closing his eyes, he activated his ability. After a few seconds, he chuckled darkly. "Interesting… I can't see the future. I wonder who will win this battle in the end."
Opening his eyes, he picked up the phone on his desk and called his assistant.
"Evacuate everyone from this building."
"Yes, Director."
Placing the phone back on the desk, Gao Shuwei left his office and made his way to the laboratory located in the underground.
Ten minutes later, Long Yu pushed open the door to Gao Shuwei's office. Seeing it empty, he frowned. "This is strange. We haven't encountered anyone since we entered from the rooftop."
Yao Ran scanned the room and her expression was tense. "A Yu, I have a bad feeling about this."
Long Yu's grip on her hand tightened as he said, "Let's check the lower floors."
Since they were already inside, Yao Ran agreed. "Let's go.
It took them almost an hour to check the entire building, but they still couldn't find Gao Shuwei.
