But Johnny smelled something different. First, when Johnny first encountered the tactical squad, it was in the office of the abandoned building where Ben La Song was located.
He arrived first, and then the squad arrived, which meant that the squad's real target was not him, but Ben La Song, which also meant that Gina wanted to get the pandoras box.
By a stroke of luck, he and this squad met, and then he eliminated the first squad.
As for the second squad, Johnny was not sure if it was related to him, but there was no doubt that the second squad was almost unprepared for a direct encounter, so by judgment, they should have been a support type.
But he still easily took them out, which shows that the two squads were not targeting him, but the pursuit was indeed targeting him.
That is, after he got the pandoras box, Gina discovered that the GPS location had moved, inferred that the box was in his hands, and then issued a bounty.
This bounty meant that all the killers he encountered were specifically targeting him, which means that Gina was both issuing a bounty and telling his location to those guys, which is why he was repeatedly ambushed and thus met Tang Ren and Qin Feng.
It wasn't until he and Qin Feng blocked the GPS signal that Gina lost the signal, but she still inferred his location from the last known position, which led to the shootout near A Xiang's house.
But after that, Johnny was never again pursued by assassins.
The first batch of assassins would have to rely on luck to find him, and he was constantly on the move, driving a car, making it extremely difficult to pinpoint his location.
And the information about the Platon Hotel was actively disseminated by Gina herself, in order to lure them there, because she knew very well that he would not let her go.
The trap she set, however, did not account for Mina and her group checking into the Platon Hotel just one step after her.
And Kane went out to gather information on his own, which led to the failure of their arrangements, whether it was the assassins or the tactical squad, they were all wiped out again in the end.
They fled to the Continental Hotel branch in Bangkok, but one thing worth noting is that although shooting is prohibited in the Continental Hotel branch, it is unknown whether official forces will abide by this rule if they get involved.
However, Johnny believed that with the Continental Hotel's power, this could still be achieved.
Kane, standing by, was also lost in thought, but his thoughts were probably not too different from Johnny's, although their experiences were not exactly the same, so there would be some discrepancies.
"So where is this bitch now?"
Kane and Johnny both looked up at the same time and spoke in unison.
Immediately after, both of them turned their gaze to the lobby manager of the Continental Hotel.
When Charon saw them looking at him, he nodded slightly. Karen directly pulled out an assassin's gold coin from his pocket and was about to toss it to him when Johnny reached out and caught the gold coin.
"If I'm not mistaken, Gina should be in the hotel!"
Saying that, Johnny also glanced at Charon.
Charon shrugged, not speaking, but Johnny was very certain that given Gina's personality, she couldn't be outside, so the only possibility was that she was here.
Only here was her only sanctuary, only here was she safest.
Johnny glanced at Kane, who happened to be looking at him as well. Then, Johnny picked up his bag and walked out of the hotel.
Kane was a little confused, but Johnny didn't say anything, just pulled out his phone.
"I need you to do me a favor."
After hearing his voice, the person on the other end was stunned for a moment, then simply replied, "Okay."
Immediately after, Johnny relayed the general information, and the person on the other end pondered for a long time.
Kane was behind Johnny and didn't understand what Johnny was up to.
After a while, Johnny turned and looked at Kane, motioning for him to follow.
After getting into the car, Kane was still a bit confused, not understanding what Johnny wanted to do.
Johnny simply took out the aluminum box from his backpack and tossed it to Kane. Kane took it and opened it to take a look.
"You got it?"
He hadn't expected Johnny to be so efficient, to have found the pandoras box so early.
"Doesn't he want the pandoras box? Then we'll use this to bait him."
Johnny looked at Kane's face as he revealed his plan.
After hearing the entire plan, Kane expressed his shock, wondering if it was really possible to do it this way?
5:57 PM.
In the outskirts near Bangkok's Chinatown, Johnny stopped after shooting the last two assassins.
Clap, clap, clap!
Looking at the armed police surrounding him one by one, Johnny stared intently at the leading woman.
"Gina?"
The woman's light blue eyes looked at Johnny, a faint smile playing on her lips, "It's me. I didn't expect your abilities to be so strong, to be able to remain unharmed under the siege of so many assassins. I underestimated you."
Facing Gina's taunt, Johnny shrugged, "Those of us in this line of work make our living this way. If we're easily killed, we might as well go home and hug our babies."
Johnny raised the backpack in his hand, then looked at Gina, "I just didn't expect that the business Dominic pushed to me would be so shameless."
Gina's gaze also flickered to the backpack in Johnny's hand, then she glanced at her phone, which showed a red dot right here, and she immediately felt relieved.
"I didn't want it to be this way either, but I guess you can only blame yourself for being too smart."
Gina looked regretful.
Johnny, however, was noncommittal, "Am I too smart? I think it's clearly you who wanted to find a few scapegoats, and I just happened to fit your criteria, didn't I?"
Gina merely clapped her hands and did not continue speaking. Just as she was about to order them to deal with Johnny directly, an explosion suddenly erupted from behind her.
Gina instinctively turned to look, but saw no one. When she turned back again, she saw Johnny directly throwing the backpack in his hand over.
She instinctively caught it, while Johnny vanished without a trace in a cloud of smoke and dust.
Several armed police immediately walked forward and inspected the scene, but found nothing.
But soon, an armed policeman with sharper eyes discovered that this was actually a sewer entrance, and it was clear that Johnny had jumped into this hole.
However, Gina's attention was not on whether Johnny had escaped. She opened the backpack and saw an aluminum box inside. She took out the aluminum box and opened it, only to find that it was a whole box of C4 explosives.
"Sour radish, don't eat it!"
She only had time to curse out that one sentence, and then the entire box of C4 explosives was detonated in an instant.
Boom!!!
The enormous shockwave enveloped the entire area in smoke and dust, and the surrounding armed police were killed and injured, while Gina herself completely vanished from this world.
"Oh ho ho ho! Explosions are indeed Patrick Star, it's so exhilarating!"
In the sewer, Johnny covered his ears and laughed heartily. Standing in front of him were Kane, Qin Feng, and Tang Ren.
They looked at Johnny, who was covered in dust, and also started to laugh. In the distance was A Xiang, who stood with her arms crossed, leaning against the sewer wall.
Just quietly watching everything unfold before her.
