Chapter 757: Chapter 338: Illusion and Reality

"The key is, now that we’ve caught their observer, we’ve already startled the snake, and once the sniper on the opposite side is prepared, they’ll definitely hide more discreetly."

"Gu Ji, should we go out now, or not?"

"No, we must attend this closing ceremony..."

Gao Bo’s words instantly caused panic among many people.

Although everyone was worried about the risk of the two leaders being shot by enemy snipers, Sun Zhengxian still insisted on attending the event at the last moment.

At this moment, a handsome host in a suit was the first to step onto the stage of the closing ceremony, attracting many journalists and media who continuously took pictures.

And this also meant.

There were only a few minutes left before the officials took the stage.

"The event continues, everyone stay alert, and try to think from the enemy sniper’s perspective about what attack position they might take!"

Gu Ji calmly issued the order.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xv Guangpeng sent a message, "Mr. Gu, a window is open in the building directly opposite this room, with curtains drawn, it’s the fourth window on the thirteenth floor."

"13, 4..."

Gu Ji muttered to himself, immediately picking up the rangefinder for observation.

Unfortunately, from his position, he couldn’t see much, only a glimpse of the red and gold curtain corner fluttering in the wind.

This was also why he initially chose to separate the two precision shooters.

"I can’t see inside from here, Xv Guangpeng, can you try to confirm the situation inside from other angles?"

"I’ll give it a shot..."

"Gu Ji, we’ve already alerted them, the enemy sniper probably isn’t stupid enough to expose himself now, right? Be careful, it might be a trap!"

Li Yaoguang kindly reminded him.

As the tactical commander, Gu Ji naturally understood that there might be traps set by the enemy, but he had no choice but to dive in.

Because they are now very passive.

Therefore, eliminating dangerous factors—the only proactive action—became particularly important.

In this regard, domestic security, that is, the Ministry of Public Security’s Central Guard Bureau and Special Service Bureau, has done an excellent job.

Whenever important leaders attend events or meetings.

People from the eighth and ninth bureaus will clear and guard all possible positions aimed at VIPs in advance until the event ends.

This includes setting up barricades and security gates outside the venue.

So such incidents rarely happen domestically, and if they do, they are always secretly intercepted and caught in advance by people from the eighth and ninth bureaus.

In contrast, citizens abroad are generally less willing to cooperate with police enforcement.

Otherwise, Gu Ji would have already radioed over to Yasen, asking him to help investigate the homeowner’s information.

"No, Mr. Gu, I really can’t see inside. If we send a drone over, it would be discovered by the other side."

"Mr. Gu, perhaps the homeowner simply opened the window for ventilation, or maybe the enemy deliberately exposed the curtain to catch our attention and lure us in."

No sooner had Xv Guangpeng finished speaking than Ling Yousong joined the analysis.

"Tactics are all about feints and realities."

Gu Ji cast one last glance at the curtains, "Ling Yousong, move to the first window in the innermost bedroom, if the enemy sniper is really inside, that’s the best angle for a shooting target!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

Without waiting for Ling Yousong to reply, he abruptly left the bedroom and fiddled with something in the living room.

Li Yanan took a quick look.

Surprisingly, Gu Ji had moved the sofa away, brought over a clothes rack, draped the sofa cover from the top of it, then took off his HK416 rifle sling, quietly placing it on the windowsill and adjusting the angle continuously.

It was already close to 3 PM.

The sun had already set to the west, exactly where the building with the curtain was located.

This way, the optical sight was directly facing the sun, instantly flashing a glaring white light.

"Gu Ji, you’re..."

Halfway through her sentence, Li Yanan’s pupils flickered, suddenly realizing something.

Since the enemy could use an open window to lure them into action, why couldn’t they use a rifle equipped with an optical sight to do the opposite?

"Great tactic!"

"Just a conventional practical method."

After setting up the "Dragon Gate Formation," Gu Ji squatted down immediately, hunched over and returned to the bedroom.

As he had previously pointed out.

There are only two ways to spot a sniper: actively observing the target, or luring the enemy sniper to shoot, thereby exposing their position voluntarily.

More professionally, they often use a hidden sniper rifle directly as bait.

But the distance around the exhibition square doesn’t necessitate a professional sniper rifle, so Gu Ji laid out a temptation that no sniper would refuse: reflection!

Using mirror reflection is the best way to spot any gunman equipped with a sight from a distance.

"This is Team B, the officials from Brazil and various countries, and delegations have already made their entrance. Note, the VIP is about to be exposed in the public area!"

Over the tactical headset, Gao Bo’s urgent voice came through.

Everyone’s hearts jumped in their throats, knowing that with every second wasted in spotting the enemy sniper, the two leaders’ safety became more compromised!

Li Yanan’s breath hitched slightly, her lips twitching.

"Are you sure the other side will definitely take action?"

"Most likely, because I’ve removed an observer, the enemy now knows little about our deployment. Taking out one of our snipers not only weakens our strength but also relieves their ground forces’ pressu..."

"Bang—! Clatter!"

In an instant, the killing intent emerged.
