American drama life begins with Dr. House

"Yes, he is willing to resign as manager of the Continental Hotel in exchange for your stop."

After hearing what Du Wei said outside the door, a sneer came from inside the door:

"Deciding to abdicate now? Isn't it too late?

To be honest, I am very disappointed with his decision, or...

Do you just want to kill me?"

As the words fell, the door gradually opened, revealing the situation behind it.

In the room with independent power supply, a man wearing a silk nightgown was seen holding a small pistol and pointing it at Duwei outside the door.

Obviously the adjudicator didn't believe Du Wei's lies from the beginning.

And after he saw the familiar suit on Du Wei, he immediately raised the muzzle of the gun and aimed it at Du Wei's forehead, which was not protected by a bulletproof vest.

But when he saw another person beside Du Wei, Judge Gary couldn't help but frowned and slightly turned his gun to aim at the second person.

Then he turned the gun back, and the situation now didn't seem good.

He had the intention to take out another gun and point it at two people at the same time, but he was afraid that his life would be in danger the moment he was distracted.

It sounds like the damn pressure sensor misled him!

Although many of the equipment he asked his men to modify were dismantled.

But there is a pressure sensor installed under the carpet in the corridor that is hidden enough.

So he clearly sensed a person's weight through the pressure sensor, so he dared to boldly open the door and taunt him.

After all, no one can dodge bullets at such a close distance.

He who has the first-mover advantage in advance is invincible.

But now there were two people outside the door, which made him dare not pull the trigger easily.

Because the unfired pistol is the greatest threat. Once fired, he will lose the first-mover advantage.

Besides, what he was holding was not a fully automatic pistol, but a Glock 17 that had to pull the trigger repeatedly.

For a top killer, the time between pulling the trigger is enough to avoid being shot in 10,000 ways.

In other words, even if he shoots one of them, he still has to face the threat of the other.

He was careless!

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet.

47 was quite upset when someone pointed a gun at him. How many years has it been since he had a gun pointed directly at his head?

Did he overestimate Du Wei's IQ and ability?

Obviously when talking to him, Du Wei looked like the kind of strategist who was strategizing behind the scenes.

But the current act of knocking on the door obviously put the two of them into a very passive situation.

They had ten thousand ways to storm in and kill people, but Du Wei just chose the worst one.

Now, with guns pointed at them, they are now in a dangerous situation where they can be preyed upon by mermaids.

With such a distance and the fact that the opponent was a well-trained judge, 47 could not imagine that the opponent would miss.

Now, all we can do is wait for fate's decision.

But while 47 and Gary were thinking about how to solve this situation, Du Wei, who was clearly pointed at a gun, said very calmly:

"How could we be here to kill you? Have you ever seen a killer so stupid that he comes right to your door?

I really come here with sincerity of surrender, of course, only on behalf of the two of us.

I said before that Winston surrendered just so that you could give us a chance to show off.

I believe you will forgive us for this little lie.

And to show our sincerity, I brought a map of the secret passage of Winston's shelter.

This is an underground passage that leads directly to the Hudson River. Without this map, you might not be able to kill Winston even if you kill everyone in the Continental Hotel.

So now I’m going to take it out, please don’t be nervous.”

"oh?"

Gary raised his eyebrows. He was very satisfied with the respect shown by Du Wei, and at the same time, he also showed an interested look on his face.

There is indeed a backup copy of the map of the Continental Hotel in New York, but everyone knows that the architectural blueprints are architectural blueprints, and they have no idea what the actual construction was like.

According to the investigation conducted by High Table on Winston, Winston likes to leave a backup plan for himself.

This also means that Winston, who has personally participated in the establishment of the Continental Hotel in New York, is bound to have a backup force within the hotel.

Du Wei's statement now confirms this point.

If he could know in advance where Winston was and where he would flee to, then this war could be ended quickly without having to carry out layer-by-layer clearances like before.

He can also gain a better reputation in the internal evaluation of the high table, thus adding fuel to his promotion path.

This was a temptation he couldn't refuse. After all, if Winston managed to escape, it would mean that he was unable to do his job effectively.

But he did not relax his vigilance because of this. He still pointed the muzzle of his gun at Du Wei and signaled him to take out the map.

To be honest, when Duwei reached into his inner pocket, Gary's spirit was completely tense.

He was afraid that Du Wei would take out a pistol or a dart or anything with lethality from his pocket.

This kind of drama is often performed in killer assassinations.

But the facts proved that he was overly worried.

Du Wei actually took out a hand-drawn map from his pocket, and with Gary's permission, he placed the map on the table and slowly unfolded it under surveillance.

Looking at the gradually unfolding map, Gary's mind was gradually attracted by the map.

However, he still kept part of his mind on the two of them, and the Glock in his hand was aimed extremely steadily at Du Wei's vital points.

When he saw the part of the map that was revealed, he was finally able to confirm that it was indeed the map of the Continental Hotel, and it was the kind he had never seen before.

Sure enough, Winston is worthy of being called a man with ten thousand eyes by the high table.

He had already left a way out for himself at the beginning of construction.

This sense of crisis prepared for a rainy day is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

After all, thirty years have passed since the renovation and reconstruction of the Continental Hotel in New York!

In other words, Winston had already thought about today when he was in his early twenties!

It's a pity that if Winston hadn't insisted on protecting John, he would have been promoted to the core level of the High Table.

Now, Winston can only become an unknown corpse in a New York cemetery.

After being slightly distracted, Gary glanced at Du Wei and 47, and realized that he might have overestimated these two killers.

It was a good opportunity for him to be distracted just now. These two guys had a certain chance of killing him without killing anyone.

They didn't take advantage of such a good opportunity.

It seems that they really are not here to assassinate me.

Gary, who was slightly relaxed, refocused his consciousness on the map in front of him.

Looking at the structure above, there is a hidden shelter building underneath the Continental Hotel, which should be where Duwei said Winston was staying.

And look, there is a secret passage in the shelter that leads to the outside world.

But where exactly it was connected, the map hadn't been fully unfolded and he couldn't see it.

Gary, who was eager to know where this secret passage would lead, couldn't help but urge:

"Hurry up, hurry up, can't you unfold it all at once?"

Looking at Gary, who was completely attracted by the map, Du Wei's mouth slightly curled up with a silent smile, and at the same time, his hands sped up.

As Du Wei's hand speed increased, the map rolled into a scroll quickly reached the bottom.

But there was a look of surprise on Gary's face, because there was no place on the map where that passage connected to!

Just when he was shocked, suddenly a cold light reflected from the light entered his eyes, and Gary secretly said something bad.

Before he could pull the trigger, he felt a pain in his wrist and completely lost control of his fingers.

Gary regained his sight and looked at his forearm, which had been severed at the wrist and was gushing blood. He was stunned for a moment before he realized that his hand had been cut off!

A heartbreaking pain came from his wrist when he realized that it had been cut off.

He let out a heartbreaking scream when he saw the guy opposite who was spattered with blood calmly cut off a section of his clothes with the dagger that had cut off his palm.

Then he was expertly bandaged to prevent him from dying of excessive blood loss.

Looking at the man giving him first aid in front of him, Gary's mind went blank.

Until now, he still hadn't realized what was going on.

Why are there daggers in the map?

47, who was also watching everything, was also very surprised by what happened in front of him.

To be honest, when Gary was distracted for the first time, he thought about ignoring Du Wei's life and taking action directly.

But he also thought that his employer this time seemed to be Du Wei. If Du Wei died, then his attack mission would be meaningless.

And seeing that Du Wei didn't look worried at all, 47 also wanted to see what Du Wei was planning.

After all, Du Wei's sudden manipulation of the emperor's possession made him realize that the truth of the matter might not be that simple.

So he suppressed the killer's instinct to seize the opportunity and did not take action.

Sure enough, after Gary realized that they had missed a good opportunity, he became even more relaxed.

Then the map, like a beauty slowly shedding its gauze, made his heart itch, wanting to see the perfect body finally revealed.

This mood caused Gary to completely ignore another source of danger - the map itself!

As a bystander, 47 could notice that there was something wrong with the map, but Gary, who was in the game, was completely unaware of the danger.

So when he finally discovered that the map was missing key clues, he was completely stunned.

It felt like Gary took off his pants, and then the call girl stood up and left because she was too small.

It's the most uncomfortable thing when you can't figure it out.

But what Gary doesn't know is that the most dangerous time is when the picture is revealed.

Even in order to be more perfect, Du Wei cleverly used the lights that still existed in the room to completely lose Gary's final vision.

The next thing is simple, just duck down to avoid the front line, and then swing the knife.

Looking at the palm holding the gun raised high, 47 could only shout in his heart!

What is the art of killing? This is it.

It seems like Du Wei made the stupidest start, but in fact every step was part of Du Wei's calculations.

Gary never jumped out of this circle from the beginning.

From the moment Du Wei deliberately left the pressure sensor unopened, to offering the map, to cutting off his palm, every step was perfectly designed to create a series of traps based on Gary's psychology.

Therefore, Gary was already defeated the moment he opened the door!

This... is simply wonderful!

Watching all this, 47 felt as if Duwei had given him a killer master class.

What is it about arranging a suitable assassination by understanding people's hearts? This is it.

But what makes 47 a little puzzled is that Du Wei clearly wanted to kill the other party, but now he gave him first aid.

You must know that a broken palm is not a fatal injury. As long as the lost limb does not last too long, the broken limb can be perfectly re-joined with the medical technology of Gao Dai Table.

In other words, Du Wei actually left some hope for Gary?

47, who was increasingly curious, silently watched Du Wei's operations.

He always felt that Duwei deliberately left hope for Gary.

Because the existence of a glimmer of hope is the easiest thing to shake people's hearts compared to despair.

47 knows this, and Gary, who was rescued, also knows this.

He looked at Du Wei who was calmly bandaging his wounds, his hands stained with dried blood, and said:

"Who are you? What is your purpose?"

Du Wei did not answer Gary's question. He just took out a signal jammer and a noise jammer to completely isolate any recording and video equipment that might be in the room.

Then he looked at Gary's pale face and said:

"Mr. Gary, I'm afraid you haven't figured out the current situation yet.

You are a prisoner, so you have no right to ask questions.

I will only say the next words once. You are not allowed to ask questions or talk nonsense. You can only choose to answer or not answer.

Of course, if you choose not to answer, then I can only send you to see Satan.

If you cooperate...have you seen this healthy hand? You still have a chance to take it back.

So, where will the next meeting of the Twelve Seats of the High Table be held, and when will it be?”

Hearing this question, Gary's pale face showed a strange look.

Because he understood what the person in front of him wanted to do, he actually wanted to deal with the high table?

He looked at Du Wei with mocking eyes, and then revealed the time and place of the meeting without hesitation.

"Washington, fifteen days from now."

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh.

"If you want to do something, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible.

The real high table is far beyond your imagination, you can hardly even know who the person next to you is...ah!"

Du Wei expressionlessly broke off one of Gary's fingers, then took out a thin needle and said:

"Don't talk nonsense, this is a warning, and next time this needle will stick through your fingers.

Next question, how much do you know about the elders?"

Staring at the finger-long needle in Du Wei's hand, Gary felt a chill rising from his heart.

As a judge, he has seen this kind of punishment.

At that time, the miserable screams of the tortured people were still vivid in his ears, and he still felt quite happy at that time.

Unexpectedly, he would become a victim of this kind of punishment now.

How ridiculous.

But the young man covered in blood in front of him seemed to be really determined to fight against the high table.

He even knew about the elder's existence, but he didn't know how much Du Wei knew about the elder.

If he lies about the information about the elders, will Du Wei find out?

Gary endured the pain and looked up at Du Wei, and finally decided to tell the truth.

After all, who wouldn’t want to live well if they could?

After all, he is also a judge and has a better life than 99% of people in the world.

Even if the hope of living is slim, he is still willing to give it a try.

As for loyalty? It is the cheapest thing for him.

Everyone says they are loyal to the high table, but in fact, how can anyone who is not closely connected with interests be able to do so?

Isn’t it true that Winston, who started his career by making high-end tables, is also the opposite?

After becoming enlightened, Gary organized his language and began to speak in detail:

"The elder is a being who is above the high table. He is not so much a person as he is the pronoun of a family.

Because they were the ones who united twelve powerful forces in the chaotic world to establish the High Table in one fell swoop.

He allowed the forces of these twelve families to cooperate and complement each other's strengths, and finally became famous in the world in the name of Gaotai Table.

Since then, Gaotai Table has become one of the most powerful forces in the world.

In return, the elders and their direct descendants enjoy huge annual offerings from the high table.

But for some unknown reason, the elder announced that he would not interfere in the day-to-day operations of the high table.

He just took away the cutting-edge technology that high-end tables had at the time.

Then he classified the coastal West African countries as his own restricted area, so that the forces belonging to the twelve seats could not interfere there.

Since then, the elder has been lurking in West Africa, and no one knows what he is doing there.

However, the elders' prohibition meant nothing to the curious Twelve Seats. They had sent spies deep into the Sahara Desert to conduct intelligence gathering.

But in the end, all the spies died, and the path of spying on intelligence was obviously not feasible.

The elder has extraordinary control over that desert.

So the twelve members of the High Table changed their approach, and they chose to judge what the elder was doing by the flow of his funds.

The Twelve Seats discovered that in addition to constantly using money to discover top talents from all over the world, the elder also spent huge sums of money on materials needed for biotechnology every year.

Therefore, the twelve seats speculated that the elder might have touched the taboo of mankind - immortality in the Sahara Desert.

After understanding that the elder was obsessed with immortality, the twelve seats at the high table relaxed and allowed the elder to mess around in West Africa.

And they have survived to this day relying on their close ties with each other.

So if you ask me how much I know about the elders, I can only say that the above is all I can know.

Maybe they can know more inside information, but not much more.

In short, the elder is a very transcendent existence even among the high tables."

Duwei naturally has his own way of judging whether Gary is lying.

Judging from various subtle expressions and the increase and decrease in pupils, Duwei could confirm that Gary was telling the truth.

So Du Wei nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Very good, you are very cooperative, although I still want to ask you more questions.

But I think you, who can remotely control the Guards at any time, should have noticed something unusual after losing contact for so long.

So, you can go die now."
