Chapter 251: The Mission
In a small room, there was a woman standing with a small bottle in one of her hand as she absentmindedly looked outside where the sun was setting on the horizon.
The faint golden glow was reflected on her perfect face as if sculptured by a master craftsman.
She moved her head after hearing a set of steps and in less than a minute, the door opened.
The woman who just came in showed a surprise reaction.
"Red? What are you doing here?" 92 asked as she took off her thin coat and walked towards the small ref to get a bottle of water.
"It seemed that you're not being targeted anymore." The woman answered after glancing at the woman and seeing that she was in a clean state unlike the previous months.
"Well, I simply learned to play their nonsensical games." 92 smiled sinisterly. At first, she didn't really want to waste time dealing with those people but it seemed they thought they could trample her.
She was fully aware that in terms of experience in doing missions, she might fall short. But since she was selected to be part of the mission, the leader must have faith in her capabilities. Besides, she was trained by Red.
If she would let continue to be ridiculed by those people, how could she stand in front of her 'mentor' proudly.
"You can deal with them properly after the mission."
"I know. I only let them know their places. Besides, most of them only wanted to test me if I'm really worth it to be part of this mission. After I proved myself, their treatment also changed."
Red didn't answer. She just placed the small bottle she was holding on the table before walking towards the door.
"Be careful during the mission."
92 nodded. She then picked up the small bottle after she finished drinking the bottle of water she was holding. A simple smile emerged on her face.
In a month's time, the big mission would start.
There were three roles she needed to do in the mission. The two were directly involvement whereas the third one was part of plan B.
Targeting a person with higher authority wasn't an easy feat.
There was a definite rule in this mission - carry it on even if it will cost their lives.
Both Red and 92 promised to each other that they should survive. The former also told her that once this mission is over, there's a good reward waiting for them.
Han Mingxia closed her eyes. Her heart was pumping loudly and crazily. All the distinct memories of her training and the punishments she received that helped her to become stronger, flashed across her mind.
She's afraid of course but she has a strong resolve.
When she opened her eyes again, the determination overshadowed her fears.

After reporting that exact location of their target without a hitch, she positioned herself to do her next role.
In her second role, she needed to report the movement of the head security of their target for the next 30 minutes before she could move to her last role.
It was actually pretty easy as the head didn't change much nor speak on his earpiece. But with or without movement, she still reported him.
After 30 minutes she moved to her next location. Along the way she already stated her doubts. The head of security was really relax? Or it was just a bait?
But since she didn't receive any warning from other groups, she continued to move.
The last role was part of plan B. If plan A fails, then they need to quickly apply plan B.
This time, her role was to send signal that plan A failed. She should do it no matter what the cost would be. If she would fail to do so, then it would compromise the entire mission.
There was an estimated time given on how long she would wait before she could send the signal.
As the tick of the clock sounded along the empty room inside the hotel, her heart was also in constant pounding. It seemed that even the nerves of his head was pulsating loudly.
From where she was hiding, she could see the enormous parking lot full of cars. There were also scattered security personnel patrolling around.
Her role was to create a diversion in that same parking lot. It would be a big move to inform their people that plan B, which was a direct attack in the midst of chaos, should be implemented.
It was actually simple, the small bombs were already planted randomly. Although it could injure people, its explosion could not kill.
She stared at the people roaming around the area where the little bombs were planted and hoping that they would walk far away from them.
Her eyes were like hawk staring vigilantly at the parking lot. They widened in surprise after seeing a family walking closely towards the car where one of the small bombs was located.
'Shit!'
She cursed strongly. An adult could survive, but a child couldn't. Among all the five little bombs, only the one near her was probably would cost a life if she would not do anything!
Her already loud pounding heart halted as she checked from time to time the remaining time. She dearly hoped that plan A would not fail.
Her fist was tightly curled and her breathing was getting chaotic.
'Please…'
If in the next five minutes she wouldn't receive a call or a message, then it meant the mission is over. She could just walk away calmly after changing her black outfit into a common civilian clothes.
'Five minutes, only five minutes…' Han Mingxia murmured.
Sadly, only after a minute, she heard the transmission.
"Plan B activate."
'Damn it!'
She angrily spit out.
When she looked at the parking lot, the family was still leisurely walking and a child was getting near the small bomb.
'Shit!'
She immediately moved out of her hiding place. Walked towards the child and picked him up.
Her action made the child's parents startled. They thought she would bring the child to them but they were wrong.
The woman who picked up their child walked faster and away from them.
They immediately run towards her to catch her while shouting loudly attracting the attention of some security personnel.
When Han Mingxia looked back and saw that the distance was already safe. She placed the child down and ran towards the darker area.
But of course, she already exposed her location and attention was already gathered towards her.
When she pressed the button controlling those mini bombs, chaos engulfed the entire area. Even the security officers were shocked.
The parents of the child who were just cursing her from head to toe became speechless after they saw the explosion where their kid was originally standing.
They looked at the direction where the woman disappeared and silently murmured their gratitude.
It would still be considered successful if Han Mingxia didn't see few police officers running towards her direction.
'Damn it!'
She turned around and run.
Her own attire was already questionable. Unless she would change into a common clothes, she would be chased until the end. Though she was thankful that she was all in black and it's night time, she couldn't possibly hide while being chased with bright flashlights.
But how could she changed when she's running around. Her main objective now would be to widen the distance between herself and those police officers.
She could only run and lead her pursuer away from the venue. It was to help the other people complete their mission by implementing the plan B.
As for her, since she violated the rule by exposing herself, she could only be a bait for these law authorities.
A gunshot was fired towards her. Han Mingxia was grazed by the shot on one of her thighs.
She strongly hissed.
It made her running became relatively slower.
Seeing a small alley ahead, she could still avail some time to wrap something on that wound.
Remembering the map of this area that they were forced to memorize, by the end of this small alley would be the hidden entrance of a busy street.
She could camouflage in that area if she would tear some part of her outfit. She would resemble a punk and rebellious youth playing in the night.
But before she could enter the valley she was shot again. This time it was on her shoulder.
'F*$@!'
Her pursuers clearly didn't want to kill her. They wanted her alive!
If she would not stop, her wound would keep bleeding. If she would stop, they would catch up.
Although she's more or less used to be in pain, it didn't mean she could stand this constant shooting and running.
What made her frustrated the most was, she didn't have any gun in her. She only has a small dagger.
Her role was not to face them head on.
She continued to run towards the alley. It was perfect as she could conceal herself in the dark.
Gritting her teeth and applying all the remaining strength left on her body despite the throbbing pain she was experiencing, she finally reached the alley.
She heard another shot and felt an additional excruciating pain on the side of her body.
Her vision was starting to get blurry. Seeing that the end was still a few more meters, Han Mingxia smiled bitterly.
It seemed that her plan would not be implemented.
She lost too much blood. With the trail of blood along the way, her pursuers could easily find her.
'I'm finished..' She whispered.
