More than a dozen armed gangsters gathered more than 200 guests in the middle of the hall, and the four of us were also mixed in the crowd. I signaled Lei Xiaohu with my eyes, telling him not to act rashly for the time being and wait for the opportunity.
Everyone was ordered to gather together, put their heads in their hands, and squatted on the ground. In the crowd, there were some security guards in uniform. Some tried to resist, but were immediately knocked down to the ground. Afterwards, the rest of the security guards were all taken out individually. No guns were worn on this occasion, but the security guards, walkie-talkies and all other equipment, as well as some batons and the like, were all put away. Then the security guards were also ordered to squat down in a line facing the wall, with their hands lying on the wall.
Among the guests, some ladies began to cry softly, but in the face of those cold-faced gangsters, these cries did not have any effect.
There are two film company investors squatting next to me, and two famous Hollywood male stars behind me, one of whom often plays a "superhero" on the big screen. There was obvious anger in Li, but he didn't dare to move.
"Oh, dear distinguished guests." The leader of the bandit was still wearing a white waiter's uniform, but this man's face was calm, and he always carried a strange composure. His calmness was somewhat unexpected. Because those of his subordinates, although everyone has a cold face, but from their eyes, it is obvious that they are also nervous.
And this man... His eyes are very calm.
Could it be...
I felt a sense of uneasiness in my heart.
A minute later, three people came in again from the side doors on both sides, this time the three were white men, all of whom were the three I saw them murder in the makeshift kitchen just now. The three of them came in, and first replaced the pistol with a plastic casing in their hands with a real one, and then one of them smiled at the leader and said, "Hey, it seems that you have good control."
The leader glanced at him, and said in a flat tone, "Dear Jack, what's going on next?"
"Everything is going well." The guy named Jack grinned, and then he suddenly pulled his hair, lifted it up and threw it on the ground. It turned out that this guy was wearing a wig, showing his bald head. Head: "Oh, with this thing, it's suffocating."
"Oh, Jack, the lower layer is full of our current Hollywood big-name female stars, you have to treat them well... Those people are our first layer of barriers and the best hostages." The leader shrugged his shoulders : "Set up the network."
His subordinates dragged out a few things that looked like parts of a laptop from the dining car, and then began to assemble them nervously. A camera was also set up on it. A minute later, a laptop was made. The leader said a few words with the headset and the intercom, then nodded.
After the laptop was turned on, the screen flickered for a while, but there was no image. The leader said indifferently: "Be careful, these are satellite-connected devices, very expensive."
"Oh, after tonight, it won't be too expensive for us." The white man Jack licked his lips, and greedily glanced at the jewels placed in the transparent glass display stand.
"Connected!" One of the subordinates said loudly, and sure enough, the computer screen flickered, and a picture appeared. The picture began to be doubled and blurred, but it soon became clear.
"Hi!" The leader walked to the screen.
The angle I squatted at just happened to be able to see the screen from the side, and the scene displayed on the screen was probably the first floor downstairs.
The downstairs floor was also rented by the organizers of the show tonight. According to the plan, some of Hollywood's biggest female stars who were specially invited tonight, as well as some makeup artists, some models, some fashion designers, and staff, all rested on the downstairs floor. Prepare to wait until the moment of tonight's show, you will go up directly from the downstairs through the main elevator, the main elevator faces the exhibition stand in the hall, according to the plan, those invited biggest female stars, and some supermodels, will wear some of those The latest fashions of the world's top brands walked into the main venue, some fashion shows were held first, and then the precious jewelry on display were displayed on the spot.
According to legend, the most expensive dress in the world, worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, is made of diamonds and will be worn by a Hollywood female star on the spot... The gimmick, who will wear that dress, has not been announced to the public.
The top floor we are on is the 62nd floor, and the 61st floor below is used as a lounge and makeup area.
But now, judging from the screen, the sixty-first floor downstairs seems to be controlled by these armed bandits! Because on the screen, a big man with long hair and a beard said "OK" to the screen expressionlessly.
On the screen, there is a faint figure behind him, just like ours here, I saw many people squatting on the ground and gathered together, and there were armed personnel beside them.
"Okay, do your job, Okan." The leader smiled lightly, then left the computer screen and glanced at his subordinates: "Now, we can call the police. Turn off the mobile phone signal shielding equipment outside."
He walked up to us, with a gentle smile on his face, as if he were a well-bred guest, and said with a soft smile: "Oh, sorry, may I ask if anyone has a mobile phone that I can use? "
What he said was so polite, but three of his subordinates immediately surrounded him. They took out a pocket and searched the phones carried by each guest one by one.
"I hope everyone will cooperate. It's best to hand over your phone numbers obediently. Otherwise, I'm afraid my subordinates will take some impolite actions."
Under such seemingly gentle intimidation, everyone handed over their phones. Although many people were reluctant, they did so after hesitation. The gangster with the bag walked up to us, I didn't move, but Jessica looked at me helplessly, I nodded, and she also threw the phone into the bag helplessly.
Soon, the pockets in the hands of the three gangsters were filled with all kinds of expensive new mobile phones.
"Okay, now, let's have a good talk with the police." The leader's faint words made the white man named Jack immediately change color: "La Muqi! What are you kidding! We have controlled the scene now! We should Quickly take the jewels and leave! Then take a dozen of the richest people here as hostages!! This is our plan!"
Only then did I know that the leader's name was Ramucci, which seemed to be a standard Middle Eastern name.
Ramucci looked at Jack twice with a look of pity, and then sighed quietly: "My dear friend, do you want to take jewelry? Well, I'll let you see..."
He suddenly raised his pistol, aiming at me casually, aiming at Yang Wei beside me!
To be precise, it was aimed at a display shelf in front of Yang Wei! And Yang Wei happened to be squatting behind a square glass cabinet with a huge diamond necklace inside...
I was startled, instinctively, I moved forward, quickly pulled Yang Wei behind me, and blocked her with my body.
boom! !
bang bang! !
Accompanied by the startled screams of many guests, after three consecutive gunshots, my scalp went numb, and I couldn't help closing my eyes facing the muzzle of the gun that was shooting at me... But then Yang Wei She pulled me lightly from behind, I felt her hand stuffed into my palm, and pinched me hard, then I opened my eyes, Yang Wei was looking at me with a complicated look, as if a little Excited and grateful.
But in front of me, the glass cabinet containing diamonds that stood between Ramucci and me didn't hurt at all!
Even after the bullet was fired, there was no trace of bullet marks! The glass surface is still smooth! !
"Did you see it?" Ramucci glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally, probably because I was attracted by my instinct to block the lady just now, but then he quickly turned his eyes on the man named Jack. On the white man: "Did you see it? This is the best bullet-proof and explosion-proof glass!! Let alone bullets, even if you have a bazooka in your hand, you can't break it!"
"Damn it!" Jack was stunned for a moment, then suddenly rushed up like a madman, picked up the shelf on the table where the microphone was placed, walked to the nearest glass cabinet with it, and smashed it down hard. He smashed it several times, but the glass cabinet was intact, so he cursed helplessly: "FUCK!!"
Then the guy glared at Ramucci angrily: "Have you already calculated this! But it wasn't like this in our previous plan!"
"Plans are always subject to change." Ramucci said lightly. Although his tone was very light, he carried an unquestionable aura.
The white man Jack was obviously very annoyed, and the other two white men beside him were also somewhat dissatisfied, and the three of them stood together...
