Although Shadow didn't have time to search carefully, her heart sank and she already had a bad feeling.
If her plan had gone according to plan, she would have already blended in with the crowd.
But this was just a temporary solution she came up with in an emergency. If something unexpected happened, like the current situation, Qiao Nian had no idea what to do next.
Shadow arrived at the building so quickly, so her chances of escaping were slim.
The fat executive in front trotted over and handed a microphone to the man in black clothes and black pants.
Shadow tried to find the figure in the crowd, but there were too many people gathered in the lobby on the first floor, and even he couldn't immediately tell which one was Qiao Nian.
He took the megaphone from the executive and said in a deep voice, "Don't panic, everyone. We don't let you go because someone among you broke into the safe and took important documents. The previous alarm was also caused by the sound of the safe being triggered. As for the fire alarm on the 12th floor, it was also caused by that person, just to scare you so that she can leave here with you."
He packed so much information into just a few sentences.
Someone in the crowd bravely said, "How do we know whether what you said is true or not? If there is a fire, we want to get out."
Shadow glanced at the crowd expressionlessly and issued a shocking warning: "I told you, anyone who tries to force their way in can be shot!"
—You can shoot!
The crowd was frightened by his words, but it must be said that his words were quite intimidating. Compared with reasoning with panicked people, fists can make them obey quickly.
Qiao Nian looked at the shadows in front and saw that the person had already started to count the identities of these people. In less than a few minutes, they would find their way here.
And this time Shadow was fully prepared.
When Qiao Nian turned around, she saw that he had arranged guards at the elevator entrance and the emergency exit to ensure that she could not go back.
She clenched her fists, her delicate face expressionless, her eyes like a deep pool, her back nerves tensed imperceptibly, watching the shadow of the men gradually approaching, her temples throbbing, just ready to give it a try...
At the critical moment.
A man next to Qiao Nian suddenly spoke up, pointed at her right arm and said, "Hey, why is there blood? Are you hurt?" He probably meant well.
Thinking that his colleague had cut his hand in a panic, and seeing that Qiao Nian was a girl, he kindly said out of gentlemanly spirit: "Why don't you tell them so they can bandage you first."
What he didn't know was that his good intentions might lead to bad consequences.
Shadow was also looking for Qiao Nian.
Everyone was shocked by his words "You can shoot", and although there were many people in the lobby on the first floor, basically no one spoke.
In an atmosphere so quiet that it’s eerie.
His normal speaking voice is loud enough.
The phrase "wounded and bleeding" attracted a lot of attention to Qiao Nian.
Qiao Nian never thought that he would meet such a stupid teammate. This must be a bug!
She reacts quickly.
At the same time as Shadow's sharp eyes looked over here, she slipped out a miniature pistol from her sleeve and fired three shots at the crystal chandelier in the lobby.
All I heard was the sound of gunshots and breaking glass.
The lobby was plunged into darkness.
The crowd, which had finally quieted down, was frightened by the sudden gunshots, and screams and noise were heard everywhere.
Human instinct made them run outside regardless of everything.
At this time, the threat of the shadow becomes useless.
