Lin Qian quickly scooped up the box and scampered down the escape route she had planned earlier.
The construction site was located right by the sea.
However, she wasn't really afraid of the assassins. She had the jade pendant, and they would still need her, so they wouldn't so readily let her die this early.
Gu Moyang saw Lin Qian grab the box while Xia Ran and the others prepared to open fire on them.
Gu Moyang already had a jump start on them. His seasoned snipers were already in ambush, waiting for his signal.
The sniper made every shot count. Charles, from the research institute, spiraled out of control when a bullet hit his arm, flailing about like a decapitated housefly.
Xia Ran and Lily, of course, were cut from a different cloth.
Very quickly, another group arrived to back up Xia Ran, and seeing that the firefight had already started, they quickly moved to intercept Lin Qian.
