The gunshot came unexpectedly.
No one expected that at such an elite gathering, someone would carry a gun, let alone open fire.
"Everyone back off!"
"Take the master downstairs for emergency treatment!"
Almost immediately.
The old butler beside Li Caijin was like an old lion waking up from sleep. He rushed directly to Li Caijin's side. A pocket pistol appeared in his hand. The muzzle of the gun quickly swept across the group of guests in front of him. It took him less than a second to find the person who had just opened fire in the crowd.
On the other side, Li Caijin's bodyguards also rushed over quickly. Tall and strong men stepped forward one by one, surrounding Li Caijin tightly without leaving a single gap, almost completely blocking the sight of everyone outside. It was obvious that they had no intention of giving the killer any chance again.
“Tsk!”
With the bodyguards' quick and effective actions and the old butler's sharp gaze, the man who had just opened fire smacked his lips, then grabbed the nearest guest and pointed the pistol, which was still emitting white smoke, at the guest's temple.
"Do not move!"
"Let's see who dares to shoot!"
Bang!
The old butler did not hesitate at all and fired a shot that hit the killer's right hand, causing a splash of blood and knocking the gun out of his hand. The old butler's decisive and ruthless action not only scared the guests around him, but also caught the killer himself off guard and he was completely unable to react.
"ah... !"
When he came to his senses, intense pain swept through his nerves.
"hateful!"
"Old lunatic... ..!"
Putting the guest beside him in front of himself, the killer quickly retreated towards the exit of the hall. It was obvious that the killer was not giving up and wanted to use the guest as his shield. However, the old butler did not hesitate at all at this critical moment. He narrowed his eyes and pulled the trigger directly.
Bang!
Another shot!
This time the fire did not hit the killer, but went through the guest's right leg. With a scream, the guest fell to one side. If the killer had not held him up, he would have rolled on the ground. But to the killer, a hostage who had lost his ability to move was meaningless.
... ... .Damn it!
The killer was angry but not panicked. Unlike Lin Xingyuan, the idiot who was all show and no substance, he had made all preparations when he accepted the task. It could even be said that he was a assassin specially trained for today, and an assassin would not panic just because he was in a desperate situation.
For a moment, the situation came to a standstill.
The killer supported the guest's body, but because the guest was injured and unable to move, he could no longer use him as a human shield.
Although the old butler had been pointing a gun at the other party, he could not find a suitable opportunity due to the presence of the guests.
After all, injuring the guest is only a means to prevent the killer from escaping. Moreover, as long as the guest is not dead, the Caijin Group has plenty of ways to deal with the guest's troubles. But if the guest dies, that is another matter. Therefore, even the old butler does not dare to really ignore the guest's life and take action.
But the old butler's patience is limited.
The death of a guest can cause considerable trouble, but it is not unsolvable... ..!
In comparison.
The killer who injured the master must not be let go!
Thinking of this, the old butler felt his hand holding the gun getting heavier, and the force on the trigger was getting stronger and stronger...
"!!!"
And just at this moment...
Ding Dong! Suddenly, a pleasant bell rang from the elevator at the exit of the reception hall.
Then the elevator door opened slowly.
A woman wearing a palace skirt and light makeup, looking quite elegant, walked out.
But there was a hint of anxiety on the woman's face.
"Oh no... ..eh?"
What happened
At that moment, the woman did not react, the guests did not react, and the bodyguards were a little surprised.
But three people reacted.
The first one was the killer. He almost immediately showed ecstasy. Although he didn't know why this female guest suddenly came out of the elevator, this was a great opportunity! As long as he caught her, he would have a new hostage and his chances of escaping from the building would increase.
So the killer pushed the guest in his hand forward without hesitation, then flashed and pounced on the woman in the palace skirt like a cheetah.
The second person to react was the old butler.
But he couldn't do anything.
Because the killer's move was very clever, the guest who was pushed forward perfectly concealed his figure, making it impossible for the old butler to start shooting, otherwise the guest would be hit before the killer. So the old butler could only watch as the killer pounced in front of the woman in the palace skirt and grabbed the woman's delicate hands with both hands.
The third person to react was Gu Moli.
Look at the ferocious and terrifying killer and the weak and powerless woman in the palace skirt.
He covered his face silently.
"What a sin..."
“Hey!”
As soon as Gu Moli finished sighing, a delicate cry rang out.
And then.
The weak woman, who was supposed to be held hostage by the killer, twisted her wrist suddenly, stretched out her left hand like lightning, and grabbed the killer's collar directly. Then she used her right hand to break free from the killer's five fingers, and even grabbed the killer's wrist in return. Then she twisted her waist and hips, and stomped her feet on the ground to spin.
Click!
Even the heels of her high heels were broken.
Swish!
The killer, who was about 1.8 meters tall, was thrown high over the head by the "weak and powerless" woman, and then fell heavily to the ground in the standard posture of throwing the victim over the shoulder.
Boom!
"Wow!"
This must be extremely painful.
Except for Gu Moli, everyone present was stunned. Even the old housekeeper was slightly dazed for a moment before coming to his senses. At this time, the woman in the palace skirt had already punched the fallen killer several times, knocking him unconscious. She was cursing as she beat him:
"Where did this little thief come from to attack me?"
"I think you are really brave!"
"court death!"
For a moment, Gu Moli could even hear the sound of the guests swallowing their saliva.
I said it a long time ago.
With Hua Qiong's skills, he shouldn't be a detective.
He is born to be a armed police officer!
"... ..Um, Miss Hua....?"
Finally, the old butler came to his senses and walked forward awkwardly, and tentatively said to Hua Qiong: "Are you okay?"
"Ah? Of course I'm fine... ..Ah!"
Hua Qiong, who was having a great time fighting, finally reacted at this time. She quickly got up from the killer's body, then adjusted her palace skirt and showed a gentle smile.
"I'm sorry, old butler, I'm being rude."
"No, no, no, how could that be."
The old butler smiled subtly: "Rather, I should thank you. This is a very scary killer..."
"Killer?"
"Ah! That's right!"
It seemed that the word "killer" irritated Hua Qiong, causing her expression to change rapidly, and then she showed an anxious look again: "Old housekeeper! Something happened in the women's reception hall! You must tell Mr. Li Caijin about it immediately. Now the building on the right is in chaos!"
The old housekeeper frowned upon hearing this: "Something happened...?"
"What!?"
As soon as Hua Qiong finished speaking, Gu Moli immediately rushed out from the crowd: "Something happened? What happened!?"
It can't be... ..
... ... .No! This is impossible!
From the moment Li Caijin came out until now, he has been in his sight. He has never left the building on the left, let alone this reception hall!
No time to commit a crime!
What’s more, Li Caijin had just been shot!
How is it possible….!
Gu Moli refused to believe it.
But unfortunately, no matter how much he refused to believe it, the facts were there and he had no choice but to believe it.
"Mrs. Li..."
"Dead!"
