The cold, sharp voice of Gao Lujie came through the phone.
"These people can be silenced. Handle it cleanly!"
"Yes, Young Master Gao! But isn't it a bit early to kill them now? What if there are any variables, or if these people are needed to provide new evidence?" Gao Tu hesitated before voicing his question.
"No new evidence is needed, nor are there any variables! The mission has failed, and these useless people are no longer needed!
Handle it cleanly, leave no loose ends!"
"I understand, please rest assured!"
Gao Tu agreed, hung up the phone, then found two subordinates and gave them instructions.
A few minutes later, Zhang Xu and his three colleagues were brought into the courtyard. The two women among them were even dragged by their hair into the yard.
"Kneel!" Gao Tu shouted roughly.
"What are you doing? You're breaking your promise! Do you know that what you're doing is illegal..."
Zhang Xu struggled and roared at Gao Xu, but was slapped to the ground by Zhang Xu.
His mouth fell open, spitting out a mouthful of blood, which also contained a few teeth. As a trusted subordinate of the Gao family, Gao Tu had practiced martial arts since childhood. His iron sand palms had decades of skill. This slap was no less severe than a steel rod hitting one's face.
Zhang Xu tried to struggle again, but suddenly heard the sound of a gun cocking. He abruptly looked up and saw Gao Tu's two subordinates had taken out their guns, loaded them, and aimed the dark muzzles at them.
The remaining people, having never seen such a situation, immediately collapsed on the ground.
"Brother, please, spare us. If you let us go, we won't ask for money. We'll do anything you want. I can serve you, I know many positions..." one of the female tellers pleaded.
To her surprise, her words did not elicit pity from the men, but rather mockery.
"Haha, money? You're dreaming. There's no money at all!
To tell you the truth, the reason we brought you abroad was to make it easier to dispose of the bodies, haha...
You're still dreaming of getting rich... Heh heh..."
Upon hearing this, the two women immediately burst into tears.
"Brother, since we're going to kill them anyway, let the brothers have some fun with these two women before they die!" one subordinate said to Gao Tu.
"Get lost, you idiot! Don't drag me down with you!
Young Master Gao has already given the order to dispose of the bodies. If you cause trouble here and stir up problems, can you bear the young master's wrath?
Besides, the young master allocated plenty of funds this time. Aren't those passionate and beautiful Mexican girls enough for you? You can't even lay a hand on this kind of trash?" Gao Tu said with a grim face.
"Yes, yes, boss is right. Then let's get to it!"
"Don't waste bullets. Just break their necks. It will be easier to clean up the bodies later."
"Alright, let me show you my skills!"
As the man spoke, he cracked the knuckles on his hands, making crackling sounds. Zhang Xu and the other four had fallen into despair. They desperately kowtowed, as if pounding garlic.
But it was no use. The burly man stepped forward, his iron-like hands gripping Zhang Xu's neck. With a single squeeze, he could snap Zhang Xu's neck.
At this moment, with a *bang*, a bloody hole appeared on the man's head, and his body immediately toppled to the ground.
Then, gunshots rang out continuously. Gao Tu's subordinates were all shot, each in the forehead.
Only then did Gao Tu realize that around their house, more than a dozen armed men with live ammunition had suddenly appeared.
These men were equipped with excellent gear, comparable to elite special forces. There were several snipers among them, and his subordinates had all been taken down by snipers.
And at this moment, he saw a woman with a hot figure and blue hair walking towards him.
This woman had blue hair, blue eyes, and skin so fair it was dazzling in the sunlight.
The woman's beauty was like that of an elf from the heavens, unforgettable at first sight.
This woman was none other than Ling Tian's confidante, Mario Aurora.
Beside Aurora stood another woman with a beautiful face and a voluptuous figure. However, this woman was dressed in military attire and wore a baseball cap, giving her a heroic and valiant appearance.
This woman was named Rose. Although she was a US citizen, she was a member of the Misty Rain Pavilion and served as its head in North America.
Aurora's presence here was to find Zhang Xu and the others. After all, only by apprehending these individuals and eliciting their confessions could the Wang family father and daughter be completely exonerated.
Upon learning of Wang Bingxia's predicament, Ling Tian had immediately instructed the Misty Rain Pavilion to investigate the whereabouts of these individuals. Upon discovering that they had gone abroad to the United States, the Misty Rain Pavilion's intelligence network in North America quickly mobilized.
The Gao family had been somewhat careless. In their view, as long as they reached the United States, even if China had great influence, it would be beyond their reach. Thus, these individuals took a flight to a border town.
This easily led to the assumption that they intended to cross the border into Mexico. In fact, if they had been more cautious and driven a regular car, even the Misty Rain Pavilion would have had considerable difficulty tracking them.
It was also fortunate that if they had been a few minutes later, Zhang Xu and the other three would have met their demise. When they arrived, Gao Tu was about to execute them. Rose made a decisive move and issued an order, and her snipers immediately opened fire, eliminating them!
Gao Tu was stunned. He hadn't expected that even though he had taken Zhang Xu and the others to a foreign land and hidden in such a remote place, they would still be found!
All his subordinates were dead, and today, he might also perish here!
The ruthless Gao Tu gritted his teeth, pulled out his gun, and aimed it at Zhang Xu and the others. Even if he were to die today, he would first send these people away, especially Zhang Xu, who knew the most!
Seeing this, Rose raised her weapon, preparing to pull the trigger. Just then, Aurora suddenly raised her hand and held Rose's wrist.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, and a bullet grazed Gao Tu's scalp, flying past. Gao Tu could even feel the burning pain on his head, and blood flowed down his forehead.
At this moment, he heard Aurora say to Rose, "Rose, leave one alive!"
