"Then we can go through the elevator shaft!"

"The elevator shaft? Right, right... Mr. Yang, you're amazing, how did you come up with that?"

"Hehe, I just... thought of it casually!"

Yang Chen originally wanted to offer a few solutions to Gu Ji, but was suddenly showered with praise by Chaojun, causing him to feel somewhat carried away.

Yang Dong sighed at this moment, "No, Ding Le's leg can't make it up the elevator shaft anymore."

"This..."

Yang Chen hesitated for a moment and spread his hands.

"We have no choice, everyone has to survive, we can't stay here just for one person, right?"

"No, please don't leave me behind!"

Ding Le hurriedly grabbed Yang Dong's arm, pleading desperately.

"Let's move first. Yang Chen, support Ding Le, Yang Dong, continue to lead the way from position one."

Gu Ji did not wish to linger any longer. After issuing several commands, he decided to move forward with his gun.

Yang Dong wanted to argue, but a glance at the dead fugitives next to him filled him with fear; this miner had just killed four or five people in an instant!

So, he had no choice but to silently help Ding Le.

Chaojun observed Gu Ji's commanding demeanor, slightly furrowing his brow, choosing to follow at the rear, keeping watch.

The group passed through the office area.

Gu Ji's eyes quickly scanned the ceiling; he didn't want to go through the elevator shaft anymore. The fugitives were already on high alert, and if their location was discovered, there would be nowhere to hide in the shaft.

But everything was as Chaojun said, the 17th-floor ceiling didn't have holes despite the stairwell being destroyed; it made no sense.

He reached the stairwell area, looked up, and found the plaster ceiling above completely shattered, with shallow cracks on the exposed cement ceiling.

Gu Ji raised an eyebrow, suddenly extended his hand backward to signal the team to stop, "Stay alert!"

He then found a table from the office ruins nearby, stood on it, and tapped the ceiling with his fingers to listen to the echoes.

"Tap tap tap!"

"The sound isn't dull, but sharp, meaning there are deep cracks inside, Yang Dong, come up and help!"

Gu Ji removed the fire axe from his waist, bent down, and swung upward forcefully.

Bang!

In an instant, the cracks in the cement ceiling widened considerably.

There's hope!

Yang Dong was pleased; he preferred solid ground to climbing an elevator shaft and began mimicking Gu Ji's actions.

With each blow, the ceiling cracks widened and sagged.

"Move quickly!"

Gu Ji sensed something was off and rolled sideways. A loud "boom" followed by falling cement blocks crushed the table, kicking up thick dust.

Above was a hole big enough for two people to pass!

"Sounds like movement, we've got to hurry!"

Chaojun, who was keeping an eye on the rear, spoke up suddenly.

Pan Xinli quickly brought over a new table; Gu Ji climbed onto it, successfully reaching the 18th floor, followed by Yang Dong...

Then it was Yang Chen's turn.

The sounds of pursuit echoed from the gap between the 16th and 17th-floor ramp.

Frightened, he dropped Ding Le and jumped on the table to climb up.

Seeing this, Chaojun had no choice but to help Ding Le onto the table.

Above the crack, Gu Ji and Yang Dong extended their hands, shouting, "Quick! Give us your hand!"

Ding Le endured the intense pain, stood up, and reached out to them.

Just as he was being pulled halfway up, Chaojun fired a shot at the pursuing enemies and quickly jumped onto the table, "They're catching up!"

He climbed along the edge of the crack, and as he withdrew his leg, "ratatat," bullets peppered the entrance, a Type 56 assault!

"Go!"

Gu Ji pulled up Chaojun and shouted as they ran swiftly through the ruins, using the high-power flashlight to observe the surroundings.

Unexpectedly, there were four or five people alive on this floor, who rushed out of the offices when they saw the flashlight.

"Mr. Chen?"

"Mr. Yang?"

A plump, suited middle-aged man exchanged greetings with Yang Chen, with a sense of regret for not having met sooner.

"Mr. Yang, why are there gunshots downstairs?"

"We'll talk while moving, something big has happened!"

...

Hearing Yang Chen mention that Qi Liran led the company's thugs to seize power, Mr. Chen was so shocked his jaw almost dropped, "This... the Kokang warlords are so bold, daring to kill members of the Bai Family. If the other three families find out, won't it cause a huge commotion in Kokang?"

There are four major families in Northern Myanmar, all heads were either the old subordinates of the former Kokang king Peng Jiaseng or closely related to the Peng Family. Later, they parted ways with the Peng Family, gradually controlling Kokang's casinos, mining, and real estate.

Although the four families often fought internally over resources and businesses, they were deeply connected.

If any warlord dared to openly eliminate a family, the other three would definitely not stand idly by.

Yang Chen's eyes darted around as he whispered, "Mr. Yang, if the other three families allied with the warlords to destroy the Bai Family, then... I heard from Mr. Liu that the Bai Family is secretly plotting a big business deal. Mr. Bai was able to create a Border Defense Camp's armed force because of this; could the other three families be jealous?"

"Couldn't be, right?"

...

While gathering information, Gu Ji also noticed that Chaojun seemed very interested in these matters.

But what surprised him was that Pan Xinli was also eavesdropping.
