The evil creature raised his head as if he had sensed something, his eyes were surprisingly bright, and he met her eyes. She only saw arrogance and arrogance in those eyes, without a trace of begging for mercy or fear.
Nie Qingru's breathing became heavier and he raised his fists.
She knew that Qiao Nian was a smart man.
The first thing Qiao Nian thought of when he triggered the mechanism was that she had discovered it, so his first reaction was to look at the surveillance camera in the safe.
But even when it came to that, she had become a caged beast, but her spine still did not break, and the signal that came from her eyes was still that of arrogance and rebellion!
Nie Qingru thought of someone.
The man she hated and feared for half her life.
As soon as this thought came to her mind, her heart felt like it was pinched by an invisible giant hand. Nie Qingru's expression changed from calm to ferocious. Every breath she took was extremely heavy. She had only one thought in her mind... She absolutely could not let Qiao Nian leave safely tonight!

The lobby on the first floor of Smith Bank was bustling with noise at the moment. There was no longer the usual glorious elite atmosphere. More than two hundred people were crowded downstairs making it as noisy as a vegetable market. Some people were loudly negotiating with the security guards in the front, demanding that they move aside immediately.
Qiao Nian followed the crowd and when she saw two rows of security guards standing on high alert at the gate, she couldn't help but lower her eyes and pursed her lips.
She hid herself in the crowd, no one noticed her, and no one noticed the red plum spots on the sleeve of the right arm of this strange female colleague.
Everyone was panicking about the 'fire' that had broken out upstairs.
These financial elites from Continent M were in a panic at the moment. They argued loudly with the security chiefs with red faces, demanding that they be allowed to leave immediately.
The others were also in a state of confusion, panicking and fearful, ready to force their way out at any time.
"Everyone please calm down, we have checked the building and there is no fire, please don't panic."
The person in charge was sweating as he tried to calm the excited crowd.
But when it comes to matters involving one’s own life safety, who would be willing to believe a word of comfort from others
The man who led the negotiation had an extremely ugly expression on his face. He clenched his fist and shouted angrily, "Since there is no fire upstairs, why are you not letting us go? Get out of the way, we want to get out! You have no right to stop us from leaving, you are illegally detaining us~!"
In his rage, he turned around and said to everyone excitedly: "Let's go. Let's get out!"
The rest of the people were in chaos because of the alarm and the fire sprinkler, and they were stopped at the gate and not allowed to leave while running.
With someone taking the lead, everyone prepared to force their way out without thinking.
Qiao Nian had expected this to happen, so he raised his glasses, covered the injured area on his right arm, and prepared to follow the crowd out.
at this time.
A gunshot was heard up ahead.
“Bang!”
The crowd that was about to rush out was in an uproar. Everyone stood there stunned as if they had their acupoints hit. They were just about to get out, but now they stopped abruptly.
Qiao Nian realized what was happening but didn't have time to react.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw the elevator door open.
Then Shadow walked forward, surrounded by several people from hidden families.
He has great prestige among these people.
As soon as he appeared, the restless crowd seemed to be injected with a stimulant. Even the leader who was about to force his way in calmed down and looked blankly in his direction.
Qiao Nian frowned, lowered his head to avoid the shadow's searching gaze, and hid sideways behind a tall man.
