Chapter 407 - Beyond Reach (2/2)

“Great idea, the special task force is equipped for this job. They do rock climbing and abseiling as part of their training; this will be a piece of cake for them. Besides, as long as they get close to him, they can easily knock down even two Yao Baishan’s armed with guns.” Luo Shuang opined.

Qiu Yuanjie did not respond as he rubbed his chin and pondered the various issues that might arise.

“Captain, look, there’s someone on the rooftop,” Bai Ying cried, pointing at the hotel’s roof in shock.

Qiu Yuanjie immediately gazed up and was stunned by what he saw. There was indeed a figure on the building’s rooftop, which was more and a dozen floors high. And even more surprising was the fact that the person standing on the parapet with his back facing outward.

“It’s that bastard from the NSA. What is he going to do, jump off the building?” Luo Shuang hissed. She was the first to identify him.

Bai Ying and the other team members were equally shocked. Xiao Luo stood at the edge of a building’s rooftop, more than a dozen floors high, with his back facing outwards. What was he trying to accomplish? Was he really going to commit suicide? Was the pressure in the NSA so great?

Qiu Yuanjie took out his communicator and dialed a number…

At the same time, Xiao Luo, standing on the hotel’s roof, heard his phone ringing. He took it out and took the call.

“Xiao Luo, why are you standing on the top of the building? It’s dangerous, come down!” Qiu Yuanjie growled. He just couldn’t understand the purpose of Xiao Luo’s action and the risks he was taking.

“Helping you to arrest your criminal!”

Xiao Luo responded indifferently and ended the call, then put the phone back in his pocket.

In the next second, Xiao Luo jumped down from the top of the building to the gasps and startled gazes of Qiu Yuanjie and his team.

He… he jumped down!

For a moment, every one of them had their hearts in their throats, but their shock quickly turned to amazement because Xiao Luo did not fall straight from the top of the building to the ground. He dropped from one floor to the one below, almost at the rappelling speed, except that he was using his hands to hold each balcony’s outer edge to slow his descent.

“Gulp!”

Qiu Yuanjie, Luo Shuang, Bai Ying, and the other team members were stunned silent as they never imagined that such a thing could be done. Was he even human? How can the joints of his arms and hands take the stress and load?

“Oh my gosh, what am I looking at?”

“Is he shooting a movie? Why don’t I see the safety rope and cameras?”

“Jesus, this is a live Hollywood action blockbuster.”

People passing in the street below stopped to watch, one after another, and many took out their mobile phones to video Xiao Luo swiftly making his way down the building with his bare hands. Without exception, everyone was bewildered and in disbelief.

“This guy is too reckless!”

Qiu Yuanjie worried about Xiao Luo and broke out in cold sweat. There was no safety rope, and he was relying only on his hands to slow his descent. In the event of a slip, he would fall all the way and be smashed into a pulp.

“He’s a madman!”

Bai Ying and the others were equally appalled as beads of sweat trickled down their foreheads. Only a madman would dare to descend quickly from such a high building without any safety devices in place.

Luo Shuang remained silent as she felt equally shocked and apprehensive, but at the same time, she felt a sense of dissatisfaction. The person she thought was here to take credit was as fearless as the cops in Hong Kong movies and was now taking the most unusual path to arrest the criminal. This was as good as a slap in her face.

“Why would that bastard dare to jump? What was he thinking, this is a building more than a dozen stories high!”

But, in the same instant, the NSA’s image, of which she initially had a low opinion, suddenly rose in her eyes. Such skills were absolutely beyond the capabilities of regular police officers like them.
