Nearly a minute later, Lily's breathing is still weak, and on her neck, the scarlet scar is eye-catching. Louis's face becomes sullener and he couldn't keep calm.
When Lily called David just now, David happened to be in his room. David answered the phone, but Miss Lily didn't speak.
Louis felt something is wrong. He took the phone from David and heard some noise. He knew that something was wrong in Lily’s room, then he immediately ran to Lily's suite.
"Lily, wake up!" Louis pats Lily's cheek, which is pale and cold and his fingertips are trembling…
He asks the woman to help him with the cooperation, but he doesn't want her to have an accident.
Louis keeps patting Lily's cheek, and his tone becomes sullener. Suddenly, Lily coughs heavily without opening her eyes, but her breathing gradually returns to normal.
Louis is finally relieved.
On the other side, Coffey, who receives a phone call from David, is surprised when he heard that the lady has been attacked. He didn't expect the man to be so bold and went straight to the room.
David tells Coffey that when he enters Lily's room, the man has already escaped from the balcony. He can only see the man’s costume, and he is much taller than the average person.
Coffey asks two men to block the front and back doors of the hotel. One of them checks the staircase, and he and Kay take the equipment to the hotel rooftop, quickly assemble them, and install silencers.
"Just wait a minute." Kay touches his head, and says worriedly, "There are many people on the main street. If he really gets into the crowd, what if we make a mistake?"
"No." Coffey says firmly, and he has already found the direction and lowers down, "If I let him run away, I can't be alive."
Kay wonders, "How does it matter with your life?"
It matters!
This is the first job with the highest salary after he goes out of school, and he also promised Mr. Louis that if this guy really slips away, he would have no face in front of Mr. Louis.
However, Coffey is too lazy to tell Kay about that. He doesn’t have time to explain much and uses magnification to check the situation below.
Kay also comes closer, still mutters "He shouldn't be able to run away", but the next second, a figure comes out of the corner of the hotel.
The height and the dress are exactly the same as David described.
"He didn't walk through the front and back doors. He might escape by pipes." Kay says. When he sees the man emerging in the crowd, his face becomes more dignified. "There are several people around him. What should we do?"
Coffey also sees this through the magnifying lens.
The man seems to expect a sniper to ambush to shoot him, and uses a woman holding her child to block his sight. He smiles, betting that he could not die.
Coffey also sneered, leaving Kay beside him cold.
"We might not..." When Kay is about to say something, he sees Coffey's shoulder sways. It is caused by the recoil after the sniper rifle fires.
In just two seconds, the tall man falls down in the crowd on the street below, startling all the people beside him, and his blood stains his clothes.
"You got it?" Kay's eyes move to Coffey, and is almost stunned. "We are all in the same school, but why do I feel we are so different?"
If it was him, when he sees several people around the man, he dares not to shoot, as he is afraid that he would miss the shot. However, this young man is not afraid at all, and even shot the man dead.
"You're too suck." Coffey says, quickly dismantling things and putting them in the leather suitcase.
Kay, "..."
When they go downstairs together, Coffey's phone rings.
Coffey is annoyed when he sees who calls him. He refuses to answer it twice, but it continues to ring, so he answers the phone impatiently.
