Chapter 434: A Flying Kick
While Gu Fan was doing everything he could to hold back Ning Qi, Du Jun and the others in the restaurant were also making plans. They decided to go all out, pretending there was too much stuff, and the hall could not accommodate it all. It was also tough to take inventory, so they gradually moved things out into the hallways.
They spotted it - a staircase that would presumably lead to the second floor, where Gu Ling had directed them.
Being outnumbered, Du Jun knew that the best way to save Lin Xi was to disrupt Qian Ying’s spell casting. That was where Gu Ling came in. The others’ task was to lure away the protective circle around Qian Ying.
Having watched the surveillance footage, Gu Ling already knew that Du Jun and the team were ready to strike at any moment. Thus, she stepped out of the monitoring room. Her sensitivity allowed her to be aware that there were no enemies outside, so she walked out easily.
When Gu Ling reached a corner, she intentionally paused. She sensed an enemy approaching from around the corner. If she turned now, she would be seen.
So, she chose an alternative path instead. Relying on her sensing ability, she avoided all enemies and effortlessly reached another staircase. She then proceeded to move up to the second floor.
Because of her smaller stature and the protection from furniture and walls, Gu Ling was able to sneak close to the terrace on the second floor of the restaurant. She could now see Qian Ying and her three bodyguards.
"What should I do?" Gu Ling knew getting any closer would spell trouble. But without getting closer, she couldn’t do anything. The rest was up to Du Jun and the others.
At this moment, Du Jun used the stacked cargo to block the guards’ view, creating the opportunity for Lu Yi to sprint up the stairs, quickly reaching the second floor of the restaurant.
