Glimpsing a man's feet stepping out of the door of the performance hall of the press conference through the crack in the door, Xiao Yao immediately gently closed the door of the room he was in, put his ear to the door, and listened to the movement outside.

After José left the performance hall of the press conference, he did not start the search from the nearest room. He remembered that Mary said that the Huaxia boy had left halfway, and it was possible that he had gone to the bathroom, so he went to the bathroom first to look for Xiao Yao's traces.

Xiao Yao, who was full of nervousness, heard the footsteps outside without pausing from far to near and from near to far, knowing that the robber with the gun had no intention of checking the room he was in first, and after breathing a sigh of relief, he immediately thought about his next move in his heart.

Judging from the conversation between Mary and the robber, Xiao Yao knew that Mary must have recognized him, and planned to take him away after catching him, and find another place to settle old scores with him. In this way, it is impossible to find a place to hide and expect them to leave after the robbery, and if you want to ensure your own safety, you have to take the initiative to do something.

There were dozens of spectators in the performance hall, and the armed robber was able to leave the performance hall and search for him, and Mary was not the only one in the performance hall. There are armed robbers guarding the gate of the "Emerald Palace", and most of the back door has been controlled. The front and rear doors have a wide line of sight, and there is no chance of a surprise attack, and if you want to make a move, it seems that the only way to start is from this robber who came out alone to find him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yao quietly pulled a gap in the door of the room and looked in the direction where the footsteps of the armed robber left. Seeing that there was no one in the corridor over there, Xiao Yao gently opened the door of the hiding room, jumped out lightly, and ran quickly to the corner of the corridor.

This corner is the junction of two corridors connected in a T-shape. From here, you turn around and enter another hallway where the restroom is located. Xiao Yao stopped around the corner, lowered his body, quietly showed half of his head and looked in the direction of the bathroom, and sure enough, he saw a middle-aged man with a gun. Judging from his figure and dress, he was one of the two robbers who closed the door just now at the gate of the Emerald Palace.

The robber gently pushed open the door of the men's restroom with a gun in one hand and the other. After pushing open the door of the bathroom, the robber did not rush in, but took a step back with his gun in hand, guarding against a possible surprise attack behind the door. After seeing that there was no sound in the bathroom, the man with the gun took another step to the right, pulled the angle to check that there was no ambush behind the wall next to the bathroom door, and then cautiously walked in with a slow gun.

"Damn, aren't the robbers in movies and television all very nervous? Why are the behaviors and actions I encounter so cautious and professional, this TM looks like a professional robber, or even like a professional soldier!" Xiao Yao, who retracted his head, smiled bitterly and was speechless, and complained in his heart. Seeing that the robber was so cautious, Xiao Yao immediately gave up the idea of running outside the bathroom door and waiting for the robber to sneak attack from the side when he came out.

Xiao Yao has never experienced this kind of thing, and the first action plan that can be thought of is based on the plots of film and television works in the past and present lives, but the reality is not filming after all, and the robbers Xiao Yao encountered are not as rough as in film and television works.

The robber was so cautious that a sudden sneak attack by taking advantage of the blind spot around the corner seemed unlikely, and Xiao Yao, who heard half of the conversation, knew that Mary instructed the robber to shoot when he saw him, and he didn't dare to approach the robber by taking the initiative to show up and surrender. In this way, all the methods that Xiao Yao thought of from film and television works seemed to have no possibility of implementation. Xiao Yao, who had no weapon in his hand, wanted to subdue the other party without getting close to him, and it seemed impossible.

"Damn, if only I had a gun in my hand at this time. Xiao Yao thought silently. The current Xiao Yao is not the guy who was scared when he saw the gun more than a year ago. During his freshman year of military training, Xiao Yao exchanged ten military songs for the privilege of being able to go to the army shooting range for live ammunition shooting at any time, and he always ran to the shooting range when he had time. After a month of military training, Xiao Yao spent almost three weeks of free time playing with guns in the army's shooting range, and he was no longer as afraid of firearms as he used to be.

"Even if you don't have a gun, it's good to have a smoke grenade or flashbang in your hand!" I didn't think of a way from the plot of the film and television work, Xiao Yao's mind turned to gunfight games, and the first game that came into my mind was CS, which was once very popular in my previous life, and I remembered the smoke bombs and flashbangs in it.

"Flashbang, flash..."Thinking of flashbang, Xiao Yao looked down at the camera he was carrying, and suddenly had an inspiration in his mind and thought of an idea.

Xiao Yao got up secretly, bent over the corridor junction quickly, and went to the other side away from the performance hall. Xiao Yao, who thought of a way, on the one hand, needed to find a suitable place, and on the other hand, he also wanted to stay away from the performance hall and gate of the press conference as much as possible, so as not to attract the attention of the robbers in the performance hall and at the gate of the Jade Palace for a while. In order to attract the attention of the robber who was now searching for him in the bathroom, Xiao Yao also deliberately threw a business card given by Daniel Ault on the ground on the side of the corridor connection, reminding the robber to search this side after coming out of the bathroom.

Daniel Ault's launch was the only event at the Emerald Palace tonight, and the performance hall he rented was the closest to the gate in the Emerald Palace, but it wasn't the only one. After crossing the small horizontal hallway that leads to the restroom, there is an unused performance hall at the other end. And this unused performance hall is the place Xiao Yao is looking for.

After pushing open the door of this performance hall, Xiao Yao looked at the dark light environment inside, and nodded with satisfaction. After tearing off a button from his clothes and throwing it at the door, Xiao Yao walked into the performance hall and turned around to cover the door of the performance hall.

After entering the performance hall, Xiao Yao turned on the lights on his mobile phone, gently put down several metal chairs in the performance hall, and placed them in front of the door, then turned off the lights on his mobile phone, took out his camera, and lay down sideways behind the metal chairs that could cover his whole body after being put down.

"Hey, Huaxia boy, I found you!" Xiao Yao didn't lie down for a long time when he heard Jose's voice coming from the crack in the door of the performance hall, which was deliberately just hidden and not tightly closed. Unlike speaking Spanish in the previous conversation with Mary, this time José shouted in English.

Although the business card belonged to Daniel Ault, the target of the robbery's robbery, the "blue drop", was borrowed by Daniel Ault, and the scene of the robbery was Daniel Ault's press conference, and they would not have learned who Daniel Ault was. José, the robber who searched for Xiao Yao, had just watched Daniel Ault being escorted out of the backstage by his father, and knew that Daniel Ault was now in the performance hall of the press conference, and the business card that had not appeared before he went to search the bathroom would definitely not have been dropped by Daniel Ault.

This time there is only one event in the Emerald Palace's press conference, and there should be no one else to drop this business card, most of the people who can drop this business card are the target person that Mary is looking for to leave Daniel Ault's press conference halfway. Jose judged that Xiao Yao should have dropped the business card when he passed by here when he went to search the bathroom, so he shouted loudly, trying to make Xiao Yao who was hiding in the shadows nervous.

Sure enough, after José's voice fell, he heard a slight sound of metal objects colliding in a performance hall not far away, as if someone had touched something nervously. José immediately pointed his gun at the door of the performance hall and walked slowly.

Jose, who walked to the door, found a black button lying on the ground, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved, and shouted in English into the performance hall: "Baby, I'm here!"

After shouting, Jose stretched out his hand and slammed open the door of the performance hall, and instead of entering immediately, he took another step back. There was no movement in the performance hall, Jose frowned as he looked at the dark environment inside, took a left and right step to check the position next to the door by the light in the corridor, and then slowly took two steps forward, reaching out and groping on the wall next to the door, trying to find the light switch in the performance hall.

From the outside, the entire Emerald Palace looks as tall as a three-story building of an ordinary residential building, but inside it is actually only two floors. Inside, the first floor is home to several performance halls and storage rooms for equipment and props, while the second floor is home to offices. Since the performance hall has a relatively high ceiling, almost two stories high as an ordinary house, the office on the second floor is equivalent to the height of the third floor. Whether it is a performance hall or a storage room, it is necessary to have windows, so the rooms on the first floor have no windows, and the offices with windows are located on the second floor of the building, that is, the height of the third floor.

The reason why Xiao Yao chose the unused performance hall was because the windowless performance hall was pitch black. The lighting in the performance hall is controlled by a lighting system in the control room, and there is no light switch on the wall next to the door as in a normal storage room. In order to turn on the lights at the press conference, you need to enter the control room of the performance hall through the backstage to turn it on. The unused performance hall and backstage only have some tables and chairs, and it is normal for the door of the performance hall to be unlocked, but the control room with many control devices is generally locked when not in use. Xiao Yao felt that no matter how cautious Jose was, he didn't have the time and patience to go around the backstage and break into the control room to turn on the lighting system before searching.

After all, this group is robbing, and even if there is enough time, it is limited. After José didn't feel the switch on the wall, he took out the flashlight on his body and turned it on, holding the flashlight in one hand and the gun in the other, and slowly walked into the performance hall.

When Jose turned on the flashlight, he first shone it on his left hand, and then slowly moved it to his front. When his flashlight shone on his front, he found that there were several metal seats stacked on top of each other on the ground opposite, and on those metal seats, there was a black camera, and there was no one next to the camera, but on the right side of the camera, there was a hand and a finger pressed on the shutter of the camera.

Jose was startled, and before he could react, he heard the shutter sound, and the flash on the camera lit up at the same time, due to the dim environment of the scene, Jose was facing the direction of the flash, and was immediately shaken in front of his eyes, subconsciously closed his eyes, and at the same time stretched out his left hand holding the flashlight to block his eyes.

After hearing Jose appear at the door, Xiao Yao, who was hiding behind the seat, did not show his head, but just stretched out his right hand and raised the camera above the folded seat, while pressing his right index finger on the shutter. His whole body was behind the stacked metal seats, and the bullets from the assault rifle couldn't penetrate the layers of metal to hit his body. Most of his raised right hand was behind the camera, with only a few fingers exposed, and he didn't believe José's marksmanship was good enough to shoot him in the face.

Xiao Yao was lying sideways in the direction of the door, and he could see the beam of light emitted by the flashlight in Jose's hand. Under normal circumstances, people's eyes in a dark environment must follow the flashlight light, and when Xiao Yao saw that the beam of light was shining straight in the direction he was, he immediately pressed the shutter of the camera, and the flash that lit up successfully shook Jose's eyes.

In addition to the sound of the shutter, Xiao Yao, who did not hear the gunshot, also quickly showed his head and observed the situation. Before Jose appeared at the door, Xiao Yao set the camera to continuous shooting mode, so after pressing the shutter, the flash kept flashing, under the continuous illumination of the flash, Xiao Yao found that although the robber on the opposite side was still holding the gun flat, he didn't seem to have any intention of shooting blindly, so he raised the camera in his right hand and threw it at the robber's head, and at the same time, the whole person crossed the collapsed seat, lowered his body and ran out diagonally to the right front.

Mary's meaning was to capture the Chinese kid alive, and if the blind shooting killed the kid, José didn't know if Mary would give half of the proceeds as promised. So even if his eyes were flashed by the sudden flash, José did not pull the trigger and shoot blindly, but stepped backwards. He knew that the other party had no weapon in his hand, and he believed that as long as his eyes got used to it, he could still catch the Huaxia kid with a gun in his hand.

As soon as José took a step back, he felt a change in the light on the other side, and although the flash seemed to be flashing, it didn't seem to be facing him. Just when he thought that the other party had fled with a flash and wanted to open his eyes, he heard the sound of an object whistling in his ears. Then, his head was slammed into the head by a weighty object. Although José was not knocked down, he was also smashed to the point that his head was dizzy for a while, and he stumbled two steps unconsciously.

Xiao Yao, who had already rushed to the front of Jose's side, saw that the camera hit Jose's head, and immediately rushed out to the left front again, and quickly came to Jose's face. Xiao Yao stretched out his left hand and grabbed the body of the assault rifle held by Jose's right hand, controlling the direction of the muzzle, and at the same time, a knife in his right hand quickly slashed at the side of Jose's neck.

Jose, who was already dizzy, was completely dizzy after receiving Xiao Yao's knife on the side of his neck, and immediately fell to the ground softly.
