At the moment the fire door opened, Gu Ji instinctively pointed his high-power flashlight and gun at it. The intense flash caused both of them to blink instinctively. When he saw the other party holding a gun pointing downward, opening fire at Qi Liran and others, he breathed a half sigh of relief.

Through the muzzle flashes, he could vaguely see a young and an older man at the stairway. The younger person was tall and had a crew cut, while the older one had long hair and was shorter, dressed shabbily.

"It's Kai and Liu Ye, Mr. Bai's men!"

Mr. Chen from the real estate department immediately cheered up, hurriedly patting Yang Chen's shoulder and exclaimed.

The sudden aid caught Qi Liran and his men off guard, and one of their armed supervisors didn't dodge in time, getting hit and falling on the spot.

Seeing that the enemy's firepower was weakening.

Gu Ji's eyes were sharp as he took the lead, shouting to those beside him, "Charge up quickly!"

The Chaojun and Pan Xinli immediately seized the opportunity to follow. The team, less than ten men, pressed against the wall and quickly climbed the stairs to the 21st floor.

Once inside the refuge floor, Gu Ji quickly stuck to the wall, his eyes continually sweeping the surrounding load-bearing column blind spots, as a dozen or so people holding guns and knives approached from the front.

"Chaojun, Pan Xinli, watch both the front and back, and Yang Dong, keep an eye on the right!"

He gave a quick reminder to his teammates, moving swiftly, and soon locked onto the only light source in the floor, where around twenty people were gathered near the water pump pipes, sitting on the carpet with an orange kerosene lamp beside them.

Before he could see faces clearly, he was already facing a Type 56 assault rifle pointed at him.

"Drop your gun!"

It was a scar-faced man.

Gu Ji sensibly spread his hands, indicating he was not a threat, but did not lower his handgun as told. Instead, he responded coldly:

"Qi Liran will soon lead his men up here. It's best to gather firepower now and prepare for battle!"

"Shut the hell up and drop your gun!"

One of the henchmen, a big guy with a scarred face, cursed at him from the side.

At this moment, Mr. Chen quickly stepped out to mediate.

"Scarface, we're all on the same side! No need for knives and guns. It's me, Chen Jianhe. Don't you remember?"

"Yes, yes, we're all in this together. I'm Mr. Yang from Telecom Technology, and these are all group employees."

Yang Chen also quickly introduced himself.

Just then, footsteps were heard from a distance. Several people who had been gathered by the load-bearing column approached, led by a man in a white suit, around forty or fifty years old, with deep wrinkles lining his face. His pale complexion suggested elegance and gentleness, but his eyes carried a hint of ruthlessness.

Yang Chen's eyes widened instantly.

"Mr. Bai? How are you here..."

As it turned out, this was the actual controller of the Jinyuan Group.

However, Gu Ji was somewhat puzzled. The other party's office was certainly at the top of the building, so why not choose to survive at the 30th-floor refuge but rather come to the 21st floor? Did he come down before the collapse, or was it specifically to deal with the warlord's side?

Mr. Bai pursed his lips and asked with a faint smile.

"How did you get up here?"

"We barely made it up here with the help of these two guys. If it weren't for my and Mr. Yang's luck, we wouldn't have seen you, Mr. Bai."

Chen Jianhe, knowing Mr. Bai's naturally suspicious nature, quickly explained.

The scar-faced man whispered a few words to Mr. Bai, whose triangular eyes then scanned Gu Ji and Pan Xinli ominously, finally focusing on Chaojun.

"Are you with Dahai?"

"Reporting to Mr. Bai, I only followed Dahai once. I have always been with the Bai Family."

Chaojun responded calmly.

Mr. Bai chuckled upon hearing this.

"You're a clever one. So what about you two? Scarface says he hasn't seen you among our group people."

"I'm Wa Xueming. I used to be with the Myawaddy unit. After escaping, I've been at the Jinyuan Group mines."

Gu Ji's mind raced.

Myawaddy is part of Eastern Myanmar, seized by local armed forces much like Northern Myanmar. The Myanmar Government can't handle it, and it's even more chaotic than Northern Myanmar. The streets are full of armed personnel with AK47s, and the scam parks are larger in scale, countless in number.

He concocted a mercenary identity, presenting an appearance of having enemies, explaining why such a formidable individual remained concealed.

As for why he didn't use "Code: 7472." It's simple: The Bai Family isn't official and won't care what mysterious team you're with or what crisis you're solving. If things don't make sense or they haven't heard of you, they'll just shoot you.

In contrast, posing as a mercenary hiding from enemies seemed more realistic.

Yang Dong, Yang Chen, and others suddenly realized.

Being able to escape alive from a place like Myawaddy often means you're not an ordinary person.

To prevent them from having too much time to ponder the truth, Gu Ji quickly added:

"Mr. Bai, I know you have many concerns, but the situation is very urgent. As far as I know, Qi Liran and his group have gathered more than fifty supervisors and henchmen, with over fifteen armed men. Relying solely on those two outside in the stairwell, we won't be able to hold out for long."

"My suggestion is to immediately concentrate our forces, shift the battleground to the two entrances of the refuge floor. It's easy to defend and hard to attack, with the ceiling and ground fully sealed. To force their way in, they must break through the doors, while we can extinguish the lights, use load-bearing columns as cover, and perform phased concentrated fire at the iron doors in the dark."

"As long as they don't have high-power explosives, we are basically in an undefeatable position. After gradually depleting their firepower, we can reverse the situation, take the initiative, sweep them out, and by that time, Mr. Bai, you can regain control of the building!"
