Chapter 8 Assassination Four

  Yacht Club Customer Information Center, Jiang Zonghang's attire was brand new, white shirt, black suit jacket, black tie, black trousers, a hotel waiter's uniform, chest plate number 027.

  He soon appeared at the entrance of the 5th floor corridor of the hotel, poking his head out to take a look. There were many guests standing in the hallway, men in suits and ties, women in evening dresses, chatting happily in small groups. It seemed that the party had not officially started yet.

  Jiang Zonghang glanced at the guests in the corridor and found that among the guests, there was a young couple who, although dressed up as guests, Jiang Zonghang discerned from their eyes that they were actually undercover agents. Moreover, one of the two waiters standing at the door was also an undercover agent.

  There was a sudden appearance of a disguised agent on the 5th floor, and the target - Haute-Bernie Kenf - was likely to be in the luxurious conference hall. Jiang Zonghang walked past calmly.

  There's an advantage to muddying the waters: the secret agent thinks he's a hotel staff member, while the hotel staff members think he's a secret agent.

  He wore a humble smile unique to part-time workers serving drinks and entered the party hall without any trouble.

  The MI5 agents had no idea that the guy in front of them was a member of the most secretive department of the Huaxia Federation, which they had been searching for with great effort for a long time.

  The luxurious hall has a spacious space, luxurious decoration, soft lighting, and elegant music. There are already many gentlemen and ladies in the hall, all holding wine glasses, with dignified smiles, either chatting, reminiscing, or tasting wine.

  One side of the hall has a long self-service table set with white cloth, the table is filled with delicious food and wine towers stacked with glass cups, a waiter pours wine from the top cup.

  Jiang Zonghang walked over, casually picking up a tray from the dinner table and loading it with several high-stemmed glasses filled with wine. With one hand holding the tray, he assumed the standard waiter's posture, head held high and chest out, as he wove through the periphery of a social circle of gentlemen and ladies.

  After making a round in this circle of gentlemen and ladies, he walked out with an empty wine glass on his tray, his target not here.

  The hall was spacious, and Jiang Zonghang wandered back and forth in the crowd, turning around several social circles without finding his target.

  However, he observed that most of the gentlemen's suit collars here were pinned with a yacht emblem badge. All the gentlemen who wore this badge were well-mannered and had an extraordinary temperament.

  However, from their conversation, it can be heard that they are mostly discussing the current situation and are quite dissatisfied. If a war breaks out, it is likely to affect their business, so they hope there will be no war.

  However, what made Jiang Zonghang quite depressed was that he had not found the target person yet. What's more depressing for him was that those high-end people seemed to like drinking as much as they liked eating, and the wine in his tray would be gone before he could take two steps, making it impossible for him to go far.

  Moreover, he had no way to change the current situation. In the hall, at least five agents disguised as gentlemen were smiling with sharp eyes, pretending to socialize while observing their surroundings.

  Nature, Jiang Zonghang, this fake butler also filtered through the eyes of these special agents several times. As long as he showed some cracks, he would be locked in by these special agents. Fortunately, Jiang Zonghang had the skill to pretend to be a pig and look like a pig. That one face with humble etiquette and smile was not something that ordinary people could imitate.

  Moreover, the disguise on his face was extremely sophisticated, and those agents did not suspect him for the time being.

  To the left of the hall, there seemed to be a lot of gentlemen and ladies socializing. Jiang Zonghang held a tray in one hand and wove through them, skillfully blocking several hands that were about to reach for the tray, finally approaching the social circle.

  But it was still too disappointing, and the target was not found at all.

  Jiang Zonghang was attending to the person, while intentionally or unintentionally glancing at the outdoor balcony on one side of the hall. Only the outdoor balcony had not been visited yet, but outside the balcony, there were other attendants waiting in response. If he went out rashly, it would likely expose his identity.

  Judging from the current situation, the target should be on the open-air balcony. However, he cannot confirm the direction.

  If possible, he can find an opportunity to shoot and then get rid of the target after which the crowd will disperse.

  However, if that guy is not there, and I take action rashly on my own, I will definitely fail. He will absolutely pretend to be unintentional and get closer, first take a good look at the target before doing anything.

  Jiang Zonghang, maintaining a servant's demeanor, casually pulled out a tablecloth from the side table and pretended to wipe the table.

  Their eyes simultaneously turned to the outdoor sun deck outside the party hall next door. There were several large emerald green awnings, with neon string lights around them, twinkling and emitting soft and beautiful light.

  A dozen or so luxurious and elegant round tables were arranged under the canopy, with many men and women sitting or standing in twos and threes, sipping top-grade red wine and smoking top-grade cigars, enjoying a leisurely and romantic atmosphere.

  The location where he was standing was very close to the open-air platform, with a distance of less than twenty meters. From here, Jiang Zonghang could clearly observe the expressions and faces of those gentlemen and ladies on the open-air platform.

  Soon he found himself at the edge of the open-air platform - Haut-Bernard.

  He had a slightly bald head and was slightly chubby, he was intimately talking to a blonde beauty wearing a sexy evening dress, from his expression, this guy always maintained a gentlemanly demeanor, the noble atmosphere between his movements also came out.

  The target is locked, but at this moment Jiang Zonghang does not have the opportunity to take action.

  On that open-air balcony, he filtered out at least 4 suspected agents, and they seemed to have begun suspecting each other.

  Jiang Zonghang put on an unintentional disguise and turned his back to work.

  It seems that the target is under close surveillance, and acting rashly would not only have a low success rate but also make it extremely difficult to escape from among many skilled hands.

  However, he had no time left. He decided to go all out this time, putting down the rag in his hand. Then walked back to the side of the table, picked up the tray, and put some high-alcohol liquor on it.

  As he pretentiously placed the glasses of wine on the tray, his deft movements spilled quite a bit onto the dinner table. Under the dim light, the scattered wine on the table emitted waves of fragrance, but the stains were hardly noticeable.

  At this moment, no one noticed Jiang Zonghang's small movements, nor would anyone pay attention to the faint smell of wine.

  With a tray of wine cups in hand, Jiang Zonghang walked around the hall, his small movements constant. At least half of the wine on the tray had quietly spilled onto the floor, and after several trips back and forth, the fragrance of wine in the hall grew even thicker. Even the thin curtains at the entrance to the outdoor balcony had a faint scent of wine.

  Just as some people felt the aroma of wine, Jiang Zonghang walked up to a waiter with his hands in his pockets and stood behind him. The waiter was concentrating on pouring wine into the top of a high-stacked wine tower made of high-footed cups.

  He glanced around quickly with the corner of his eye, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he swiftly stuck himself to the back of the servant and gave him a strong push, causing the servant's body to lurch forward suddenly.

  Just as the waiter's body was about to fall onto the tall wine tower, Jiang Zonghang's hand, which had been inserted into his pocket, suddenly appeared, and in the blink of an eye, a spark flew out from his hand.

  A crash of shattering glass echoed through the air as the wine tower was knocked over by the servant's body, and at the same time, a spark that had flown out of Jiang Zonghang's hand ignited the scattered liquor, sending a blue flame dancing across the floor.

  Soon, the flames spread to the dinner table, and the wine-soaked tablecloth ignited instantly. The speed of the fire was so fast that those gentlemen and ladies were still reacting to the collapse of the wine tower when the entire table had already burst into flames.

  The poor waiter's vest was also eroded by the flames, Jiang Zonghang quickly pulled out the waiter who was lying on the pile of broken glass, and swiftly stripped off the burning clothes, throwing them to the ground. The fallen clothes ignited the wine that Yan Tinghai had spilled on the ground earlier, and blue flames suddenly burst forth.

  At this time, Jiang Zonghang's suit had already been ignited by the flames and he had taken it off and thrown it to the ground. However, as he rushed towards the outdoor balcony, his feet didn't forget to kick the burning suit towards the wine-stained floor, and the remaining wine stains instantly ignited.

  These blue flames are not fatal, but the underground in the hall seems to be burning everywhere, enough to cause greater panic.

  At this moment, the people in the open-air balcony seem to be startled by the noisy shouting voices in the hall. The people on the balcony want to come in, while the people in the hall want to go out. The entrance of the balcony is crowded with people swarming around and making a mess.

  At this moment, Jiang Zonghang's hand, which was holding a matchbox and looked panicked on the surface, flicked his finger, and the matchstick ignited, flying out to precisely touch the curtain. The sparks ignited the wine, and the curtains on both sides of the balcony door, which had been stained with wine, suddenly burst into flames, fueled by the wine. The heat was overwhelming, and the gentlemen and ladies at the door became even more flustered, hastily making way.

  Arsonist Jiang Zonghang squeezed in among the crowd, his eyes fixed intently on the open-air balcony.

  At this time, his target appeared at the door with a look of panic, accompanied by the blonde beauty who was also squeezing towards the grand hall. The target appeared, and Jiang Zonghang didn't care if there were agents around him, he squeezed through the crowd to get close, seeking victory in chaos.

  In this chaotic crowd, even if a special agent discovered him, he would temporarily be unable to do anything about it. Just as he was approaching his target, people on both sides of the crowd quickly closed in on him, and his actions were still detected.

  The assassination target was less than two meters away from him, Jiang Zonghang bit his teeth and exerted a hidden force on his body, the two people blocking in front of him were forcibly separated by him, and the target was right in front of him.

  At this moment, Houten Bernicken didn't notice Jiang Zonghang in front of him and was still staring at Jiang Zonghang's eyes.

  There is a road to heaven but you don't take it, and there is no gate to hell but you rush in!

  Haut-Bernard's flustered gentleman face was right in front of him, Jiang Zonghang shifted his body to the side, making way for Haut-Bernard who was rushing forward, and just as Haut-Bernard brushed past him, a cold glint appeared in Jiang Zonghang's hand.

  With a swift motion, the two bodies brushed past each other in an instant. A cold gleam, invisible to the naked eye, flashed across Haute-Bernique's throat, slicing through his vocal cords and trachea without allowing him to utter a sound. However, Jiang Zonghao's movement had already caught the attention of the surrounding agents who were closing in on him.

  Jiang Zonghang didn't hesitate and turned around to rush out of the crowd.
