Fortunately, the property manager was evacuating the crowd as Gu Ji had requested and arranging for people to lay soft cushioning on the stone pavement below the target.

Looking down at the crowd and vehicles below, resembling ants, and listening to the wind howling by his ears, along with the low hum of the air conditioning units, Yan Yu inexplicably felt a bit nervous, his head spinning slightly.

On the other side, Gu Ji had already selected his position.

He secured the safety rope to the steel frame of the air conditioning unit, extending it all the way to the edge of the rooftop.

He wrapped the safety belt around himself, secured it with a buckle, and then handed the rope to Yan Yu, "Listen, because dropping the rope directly can be easily noticed by the target, I need you to hold these two ropes. The one in your right hand is the main safety rope, don’t move it. The one in your left hand, when I reach down and tap, release about 10 centimeters each time, understand?"

"I-I understand. Do I need to use force?" Yan Yu took the rope, a bit tense.

"No need, just relax. I’m using a dual-rope safety system. Even if the Italian half-hitch fails, the safety rope will catch me. Don’t worry."

Saying that, Gu Ji reached the edge of the rooftop, grabbing the rope with both hands, and extended his feet outside the wall.

This scene startled Yan Yu into instinctively tightening his grip on the safety rope, but when he saw Gu Ji’s hand gesture, he immediately relaxed a bit, quickly realizing and loosening the rope in his left hand.

"Look! There’s someone hanging from the rooftop!"

"It really is! Quick, take pictures!"

"Who is this person? A cop?"

"It’s that young guy who was asking questions earlier. I heard him talking with the police, seems like he’s SWAT!"

"Wow! SWAT officers are impressive!"

...

Hearing the crowd’s discussion, Ding Lan, who was helping the property manager move blankets, couldn’t help but stop and look up towards the rooftop, indeed noticing a dark figure.

She immediately frowned, growing increasingly anxious inside.

Meanwhile, Gu Ji was advancing step by step, slowly loosening the buckle, descending from the 16th-floor to the 15th-floor window sill.

At this moment, he could clearly see through the gap below his crotch, the target on the 14th floor below, with two legs exposed, one hand grabbing the window frame, and the other clawing beside her hip, constantly arguing with someone inside the room.

This was all thanks to Wang Hongwei’s extensive handling experience and conversation skills.

Continuously diverting the target’s attention inside the room.

But this also caused another issue: Wang Hongwei and his team couldn’t find an opportunity to conduct a rescue from inside.

Gu Ji descended another 10 centimeters, his legs forming a 60-degree angle with the wall, the limit before being noticed by the target.

He could hear the conversation inside distinctly.

Gu Ji could only lower his breathing and focus, "Inhale... Exhale..."

They remained in this stalemate for nearly a minute.

Until Yan Yu on the rooftop gave an "OK" hand signal, indicating it was time to act.

He also communicated back with a gesture.

During Yan Yu’s release of the rope, Gu Ji held his breath, legs pressing down, core tightening, muscles frantically building momentum, finally thrusting both feet forcefully against the wall.

His body flew into mid-air, swoosh swoosh swoosh, the buckle sliding and rubbing downward continuously.

The target woman seemingly judged the situation outside the window from the sound and the panicked eyes of Wang Hongwei and others.

But the moment she turned around.

Unexpectedly, the dark figure had already reached the 14th-floor window.

Bang, Gu Ji delivered a kick to the woman’s waist and abdomen, with great force, knocking her off the windowsill and into the room!

"Aah——!"

"Quick, save her!!"
