Hearing He Wenjie accurately call out their position, the last two combat-ready members of Fire Phoenix were startled and immediately grabbed their gear to change positions. Because He Wenjie was around the corner, he could not see them, but he had a method. He detached his rifle magazine, emptied the remaining rounds, and then cupped a handful of bullets as he scrambled onto the roof. Walking along the edge of the roof under the watchful eyes of several women, He Wenjie tossed a blank round into a fourth-floor window every time he reached a window opening. When he reached the sixth one, he heard a slight sound.
The two surviving team members were startled by the blank round dropped from above and instinctively tried to dodge. Realizing it was a blank and knowing they had been exposed, they immediately fell back toward the door back-to-back, gesturing separately toward the window and the doorway as they retreated.
The moment he heard the sound, He Wenjie dropped a rope down, then vaulted into the room from another opening. Gripping his pistol, he rolled and appeared in the doorway. His first shot struck the jacket of the person facing him, but just as his second shot was about to be fired, He Wenjie suddenly saw the face of the sniper turning toward him. Xiaoying?! Seeing someone who looked identical to Xiaoying, He Wenjie froze in place.
