Chapter 140: The Great Robbery (1)
"Jessica, turn around!"
"Jessica, smile brighter."
"Jessica, give me a look ......"
Many media reporters next to him were shouting loudly, Jessica seemed to be in high spirits, constantly posing in place with all kinds of seductive shapes, occasionally some small movements, showing her shoulders, bending over and slightly shallow to show the rǔ ditch, which attracted countless flashes around her.
I stood cautiously about a step behind her, keeping myself out of the camera, but many reporters didn't seem to want to let me go, and apparently I, a wealthy man who had just arrived in Hollywood, and the owner of a film company, was equally interested. Many reporters squeezed around outside the isolation zone, changing angles, Jessica suddenly grabbed my hand, and then leaned on me affectionately, showing a smile, and at the same time whispered in her mouth: "Smile, Chen, it's not good for you to have a straight face like this." You see, this is Hollywood. It's part of the rules of the game. ”
I reluctantly took a few pictures with her, and then I dragged her away in a hurry. But Jessica was clearly satisfied, she had achieved her goal.
And I, feeling a little uneasy.
The feeling just now, although not so clear and not so real, but it really made me feel a little cold! But then it disappeared, and I didn't dare to confirm it with such an instantaneous illusion.
As we walked into the lobby on the ground floor of the building. Today's grand display party gathered almost all the local celebrities. The level of security is obviously very high.
There are several detection doors at the entrance of the building, and the guests have walked through them. It is said that this will prevent some media that want to get in with photographic equipment. Of course, firearms and the like are even more unlikely to be brought in. It's all about safety!
And only a few media outlets that are specially invited will have special people. At certain times, it is permissible to bring camera equipment accompanied by security guards to photograph the world's most expensive jewels and the diamonds worn by Hollywood stars......
The red carpet was laid all the way to the elevator door, and I followed the elevator up the sixty-second floor to a large exhibition hall on the top floor.
This exhibition hall is full of thousands of square meters, and some crystal display stands have been placed with a lot of precious diamond jewelry, those bright, I don't know how many carats of diamonds. It immediately aroused the amazement and expectant eyes of many noble ladies in the guests.
Jessica and I walked all the way into the hall, and Jessica immediately turned into a cheerful bird, chatting and laughing with the people around her.
Tonight. Here, the most famous handsome guys and beauties in Hollywood, everyone who can be there is there. There are also representatives of several major film companies, producers, and directors of the first and second lines. Investors, blah blah blah......
Looking at the countless faces around me who are worshiped by fans all over the world, I feel like I am in a dream world. Even Jessica introduced the black actor I knew. After talking for a few words and walking away, I suddenly remembered that this black actor just now seemed to have been on the Oscar podium......
The whole venue is dominated by blue sè tones, which fully shows a dreamy sè color.
The most excited person is probably Lei Xiaohu, this guy saw so many big stars around him at once, and under Yang Wei's suppression, he didn't run up to make a humiliating move to ask for an autograph. And I quickly found them in the crowd.
Obviously, Yang Wei was born in a big family after all. With the full experience of communicating in this type of situation, it has only been a few minutes, and she seems to have mixed up like a fish in water. She and the people around her were talking and laughing very calmly, as if the other party was a famous Hollywood film investor or something. The other party was probably just shocked by Yang Wei's beauty at first, but after talking, Yang Wei quietly explained his origin, in exchange for a real respect.
As soon as we walked over, Yang Wei immediately introduced me to the person she was talking to, and then Jessica came up as well......
In the time that followed, I heard conversations like this:
"Oh, have you seen McElbey's new film? This guy made a lot of money from "Transformers", and now there are a lot of people who take the money to ask him to make a movie. ”
"What? Julie? Which Julie do you say? Julia? Or Angelina? Oh, I don't know, but she seems to be very passionate about good causes lately......"
"Hey, I heard in the fourth episode of Spider-Man that there have been some funding problems recently, maybe you can contact them, this movie should be a sure profit. Oh, of course, Batman isn't popular anymore, and oh, that prequel is just terrible! ”
"Stephen? He won't be an easy director anymore...... Got it? He's the boss now, and he's the one who can fire the director at any time, haha...... But unless another film extolling the Jews comes out, who knows? Maybe God knows. ”
These Hollywood predators and crocodiles are casually talking about the recent business, those millions, tens of millions of businesses are casually talking about their mouths, and I am afraid that these people's casual words may change the movie viewing plans of fans around the world next year. Do you want to watch Transformers Episode 2? I'm sorry, I'm afraid it won't be two years before that piece comes out......
I was a little dizzy to hear, I was a complete amateur to Hollywood. And when I took an opportunity to walk aside with Yang Wei, I couldn't help but ask: "Who was Stephen they were talking about just now?" ”
Yang glanced at me slightly, couldn't help but smile, and said in a low voice, "Stephen Spielberg." ”
Me: ............"
I was a little dizzy, and I didn't feel comfortable in this social situation - mainly because the strange feeling I had was still affecting me. I always had a premonition of uneasiness in my heart......
I pulled Lei Xiaohu aside and said to him, "You follow Yang Wei." Don't leave her! ”
Lei Xiaohu glanced at me: "Uncle Dong, what's wrong with you?" ”
I thought for a moment, "It's okay, I'll go out and get some breath and smoke a cigarette." ”
After speaking. Without saying hello to the ladies, I walked straight to the side, grabbed a waiter by the hand, and after asking him where the lounge was, I walked to the edge of the hall and opened a door and went out.
Outside was a hallway, and I saw a sign above my head that showed a restroom in front of me. I frowned. I'm looking for a lounge for smoking, not a toilet. I guess the waiter misheard my question.
Since the left end of the sign was a restroom, I simply strolled down the corridor on the right to look for it.
In fact, the whole floor is in the shape of the word "Hui", and the middle is the hall. It is surrounded by a circle of corridors, and on the periphery are various work areas.
Today's party is naturally indispensable for drinks and food. Originally, there was no kitchen in this kind of place. The food is also ordered and delivered by specialized food companies. There are a number of high-end food companies that specialize in this type of dinner and party food. Over here. As long as you have money, you can enjoy any service.
I searched all the way, and after walking about a few dozen meters, I smelled a strong aroma of food, and I knew that I had probably accidentally wandered into the makeshift kitchen.
I think I'm probably on the wrong side again. couldn't help but feel a little depressed, so he simply took out a cigarette in the corridor and lit one, and then walked all the way......
But as I walked through the door of one of the rooms...... Suddenly. I heard a small voice in my ears......
I am a person who practices martial arts, and my ears and eyes are far sharper than ordinary people, and this voice fell into my ears, and it suddenly made my heart burst!! Suddenly, I reacted instinctively, and immediately lightened my steps!
The sound was short, soft, like an old-fashioned sewing machine turning gently...... But this kind of voice is all too familiar to me!
This is the sound of a pistol shè after a silencer is installed!!
Damn it!
I realized immediately. Something must have happened!
I immediately pressed towards the door. There was a small clear glass on the door, and I peeked in with my eyes slightly out...... Unexpectedly, I saw a man with his back to me, and then fell limply. The man was leaning against the door, and the back of his head was covered in blood! Blood rubbed against the glass in front of my eyes......
When I found out that this man was wearing the clothes of tonight's security guard, I immediately shrank my head, and after a few seconds, I poked my eyes out again and saw the situation in the room!
It was a room that had been temporarily converted into a kitchen, and there were three men, all white, dressed in the clothes of a white waiter, but all with a pistol with a silencer in their hands! On the ground, there were two security guards lying there, looking at the blood stains on their bodies and the motionless appearance lying there, they were probably shot and died!
What I noticed was that the three gunmen dressed as waiters had plastic pistols in their hands!! This explains why they can bring their guns in under the security check!
I was shocked! But then, I felt one of them turn their eyes towards me, and I immediately crouched down...... There was a murmur from the intercom in the room, and then I vaguely heard someone inside whispering into the intercom in a cold voice: "It's clean!" ”
I hesitated for two seconds...... My first instinct was to rush in and kill these three guys. But I'm not sure I'll be able to go in and kill all three of them when they all have guns.
So, I immediately bent down and shrank back, and then hurried, heading back, walked briskly, and then at the entrance to the first hall I found, I quickly opened the door and walked in.
Music was still playing in the hall, and people were noisy. The celebrities of Hollywood are still talking. I walked quickly in the crowd, trying to search for Yang Wei and them.
Obviously, something big is going to happen tonight!
Finally, my anxious eyes searched for Yang Wei and Lei Xiaohu were standing there talking to Jessica in a corner in the distance. I walked over quickly, and Yang Wei had already seen that my face was different. I walked up to her, and she had already asked me, "What's wrong?" ”
"Something's wrong! You must get out of here now!! After I finished speaking, I quickly said what I had just seen in two or three sentences. At the same time, I have already grabbed Jessica with one hand and Yang Wei with the other. He glanced at Lei Xiaohu and quickly walked towards the nearest exit.
"Ahh After listening to my words, Jessica just let out a short exclamation when I squeezed her arm hard, and then I whispered to her, "Don't scream! We are in danger now! I don't even know if there are any bad people among these waiters here! ”
You know, there are at least twenty waiters in the room now!
Apparently, someone is eyeing this tonight! I'm afraid it's the astronomical value of diamond jewelry on display here that attracts the bad guys.
My plan is simple, get out of here with the woman as soon as possible! Especially Yang Wei!!
"Did you bring a phone?" I glanced at Jessica. I didn't have one with me, but Jessica brought a dinner pouch that I should have in it.
Really. She pulled out a phone and gave it to me, and I quickly dialed 911, saying "Murder at gunpoint found on the top floor of the Torch Building" as I walked through it, "Murder ......at gunpoint found on the top floor of the Torch Building" I didn't finish yet, because I realized halfway through the phone that there was no sound at all, but a short murmur.
"The phone doesn't work!" I glanced at Yang Wei. Yang Wei took it and listened to it, and shook his head: "The other party has communication jamming equipment!" ”
No matter! We quickly walked to the elevator door, but unexpectedly found that the elevator button was not lit!
Jessica's face was already pale, and she told me with some trembling, "I heard. When the party starts, the main elevator is out of service for a while to prevent people from getting mixed up...... A while. When the jewelry is displayed, the downstairs floor is the makeup lounge, and those female celebrities who are invited to wear diamond jewelry tonight will take the elevator downstairs to enter the main venue directly...... Prior to this, the main elevator was closed. Maybe...... Only the two internal elevators at the back can be used. ”
I glanced at Jessica: "Side elevator? Are you convinced? ”
"I ...... I've been here once, for a party, so I know. Jessica barely finished speaking, and couldn't help but look at me: "Let's tell everyone......"
"It's too late! Once it gets messy, I'm afraid it's even more troublesome. ”
I pulled Yang Wei, in this case. I instinctively favor one over the other, Yang Wei is what I care about the most! Glancing at Lei Xiaohu and motioning for him to take Jessica, the four of us walked along the edge of the hall and walked towards the back of the venue unnoticed.
Just as we were halfway through, suddenly, in the midst of a burst of stirring music, the main light in the hall was turned off, and all of a sudden, the light in the hall was much darker, leaving only a ring of side lights around it.
Then, with the sound of music, a well-dressed middle-aged man with white hair walked up to the front desk, holding a microphone in his hand. I know that this person seems to be a famous emcee, and he is responsible for many TV shows.
"Ladies and gentlemen...... Oh, and look at how many hot guys and beautiful girls we've got here tonight. God, I'm afraid my eyes are spent...... Hey, can anyone tell me if the Oscars are coming forward? The master of ceremonies played with his humor, and sure enough, it drew a good-natured smile from the audience.
Immediately, they said something quickly. But I didn't care, and walked quickly towards the back with the people around me.
…… Well, since everyone is so happy on such a night, then ......" The master of ceremonies said this, he laughed, and then waved the microphone in his hand......
Bang!
When I heard this voice, I immediately shook my body!!
Around the stage, after the "bang" just now, several spouts on the stage immediately erupted artificial smokeless flowers, and suddenly, in the dark venue, it looked brilliant!
However, I was the only one who heard it, and in the sound of the fireworks just now, I vaguely heard another gunshot! And it rings in the hall!
I immediately looked around, only to see the guard at the entrance and exit of the venue directly in front of us, sliding the door, and his body fell limply. But immediately, a person who was also wearing a security uniform took him out from behind coldly. Set him away.
And in the midst of a noisy scene, plus the fireworks attracted most of the people's attention, and no one noticed this scene!!
But, because of this. Our path is blocked! The slain security guard was right in front of us, the entrance and exit where we were ready to leave!
Yang Wei grabbed me and stopped!
Then, all of a sudden, the lights in the hall came on...... This anomaly finally caused a strange surprise to everyone present. Because the fireworks haven't dispersed yet, it stands to reason that the lights shouldn't be lit up now!
The white-haired celebrity host on the stage was also obviously surprised, but he still took the microphone and said, "Oh, it seems that our gaffer hopes that everyone will not take advantage of the chaos to steal the diamond......"
He tried to save the day with his own immediac, but immediately, even greater disharmony occurred!
The two side doors were opened at the same time!
Subsequently, both sides, at the same time. Several food trucks were pushed in by a dozen people dressed as waiters.
I noticed that these people were dressed as waiters, both men and women...... Even more surprisingly. None of these people are white! Most people have brown skin......
I don't have a lot of idea of race, I just think they look like they are Mexican or ...... Middle Easterners?!
"Hey! It's not time to serve food yet! The white-headed star emcee finally got a little annoyed, and a series of chaos disrupted the plan.
I took a breath!
Because of the dozen or so people in waiter costumes who walked in with the dining cart, each of them, regardless of gender. They are all wooden and yīn Shen, obviously not waiters!
All of these guys have a strong pace, and at the same time, everyone's breath is very heavy...... Even with a hint of death!
I know. Only people who have really struggled on the line of life and death can send out such a murderous aura!
The white-headed star host hadn't made a clear picture of the situation, frowned and looked back at the stage behind him, and said loudly: "What about the on-site conductor?" Let these people out......" he kept gesticulating......
Then he grabbed over, looked at the people in the audience, and reluctantly smiled: "Okay, it seems that there is something wrong with the on-site scheduling here...... Oh God, should we eat mille-feuille while looking at tens of millions worth of diamonds? ”
He's still laughing. But at this moment, suddenly......
Bang!
In full view of hundreds of people in the audience, a bullet passed through his head! Hit it from the left side, and the right side immediately burst out with a ball of blood! He fell to the ground with a thud and died of exhaustion! The red blood and the white sè brains suddenly flowed out! And the microphone in his hand and rolled to the ground, making a buzzing and shrill sound of sound......
The hundreds of people present were shocked at first! Probably no one would have thought that such a sudden scene would appear in front of them! After a second:
"Ah......!!!h
I don't know which woman screamed first! Countless terrible screams and exclamations erupted from the crowd! People began to squeeze around in panic, trying to escape......
Most of the people ran in the direction of the elevator, but soon, the reality that the elevator was not open broke everyone's hopes, and some people rushed towards the surrounding doors, only to find that almost all the doors were locked!
It's just me, I pulled Yang Wei tightly, next to Lei Xiaohu and Jessica, who was already half stupid, the four of us didn't move, and no one noticed us in the chaos around us.
Finally, a man dressed in a white sè waiter's costume walked onto the stage.
This man has very beautiful brown skin, big eyes, and even a little kindness on his face, but his eyes are very cold......
He was holding a gun in one hand, and it was obvious that he was the one who killed the host with one shot just now! And after he walked to the stage, he bent down very leisurely and picked up the microphone from the ground. He even wiped the blood stains on the microphone with his snow-white waiter uniform, and then slapped the microphone twice to test the sound before speaking.
His voice is peaceful, even in standard American English:
"Ladies and gentlemen. Sorry to disturb you on this wonderful night...... But here, on behalf of my team, I'm sorry to inform you that tonight's party ......" He even had a deep smile on his face...... Since the early end. ”
With a wave of his hand, the waiters standing next to the dining car took off their white sè waiter uniforms one after another, revealing a black sè dress inside...... And on everyone's body, there is a bulletproof vest!
They immediately disliked the lids of the various foods on the food trucks around them......
Soon, those food on the food truck that made jīng beauty, those huge barbecues, cakes, sè pull plates, nǎi cheese, cheese chunks...... Blah blah, all of these things are broken! Then, these people took out all kinds of weapons from the food, like a trick!
The pistols, the bullets, were all wrapped in a layer of transparent plastic sheeting, and they quickly tore the plastic paper, guns in their hands, and loaded the bullets......
I even saw someone pull out a few black sè parts from the bellies of several huge roast chickens and quickly assemble them into a submachine gun......
And the grenades that were hidden in the ice buckets......
Damn it! Together, these dozen or so dining trucks can almost be said to be a small small arms arsenal!!
The crowd was still chaotic, but these bandits had rushed to the surroundings, punched, kicked, or shot intimidating, and immediately controlled the crowd! Bring everyone to the middle......
"Ladies and gentlemen......" The man on the stage was obviously the leader, he looked at everyone, bent slightly, bowed, and said in a very elegant manner, "Welcome to hell." ”
