As if to confirm what Yang Wei said. After the jǐng helicopter left, it didn't come back for a long time.

Everyone gathered around the window and looked down, between the downstairs jǐng lights flickering, and I don't know how many crowds of onlookers were crowded on the street. Of course, they are all far outside the separation zone of the jǐng side.

"Today has to be the craziest day ever in Hollywood." Old Bruce muttered to himself, he shook his head and cursed in a low voice, "Damn! ”

Another quarter of an hour has passed, and some people are already in a hurry: "Why hasn't the jǐng side acted yet?" Aren't they ready to come to our rescue? ”

The other two male guests who escaped with us couldn't help but start cursing the slow efficiency of the Luoshanji Jǐng side in a dissatisfied tone at this moment, and said that if they got out of trouble, they would definitely complain strongly about the Jǐng side's ineffective work, and at the same time, the security department of the Torch Building would collapse!

I have no doubt that the eminent status of these two male guests will be able to do this...... But the problem is that now that we are still in prison, it is inevitable that we will not have enough confidence to say this.

"Gentlemen." I glanced at everyone loudly: "The tone is so anxious to walk back and forth, it is better to sit down first and maintain your strength!" God knows when we'll be out of trouble! ”

The two male guests looked at me dissatisfied, probably a little dissatisfied with the unceremonious tone in my tone, but Old Bruce supported me: "Chen is right, we have to calm down now!" ”

I sneered in my heart. At a time when there was no hope of getting out of the predicament. These two guys were still resigned, because they were just scared, and Bruce and I were very calm, so they listened to us a lot...... And now. Once there is hope of getting out of trouble, these people begin to put on the shelf of "being superior to others" again.

I ignored them and sat with Yang Wei and Lei Xiaohu. Yang Wei's face was still a little cháo, and when I noticed that she was silent, her brows were slightly frowned, and there was a little uncomfortable expression on her face.

I asked her twice, but she still said she was fine.

At this time, the lady sitting in front of the computer controlling the laptop finally shouted: "There is news from the jǐng party!" They contacted us!! ”

Everyone immediately gathered in front of the computer.

"The other party gave me a web address, wait a minute...... Oh, and it's a video call. "That lady was speeding up the computer in Cāo. At the same time, I turned on the built-in camera and microphone, and then set the picture to the maximum mode.

The picture flickered a little, but then it became clearer. I saw it in the picture. A serious white man is tuning the shot, he is wearing a white shirt with shoulder straps on his back and a holster under his arm, while behind him. It's the street, and there's a lot of jǐng cha going back and forth in the back, and jǐng lights flashing. Audiblely. He's noisy there.

Then, the man in the picture looked at the screen and said loudly in a serious voice: "Hello, I, the person in charge of this hostage rescue operation, Wen Luis, you can call me Louis Jǐng!" Now we are trying to find a way to rescue you, but first I want to know what you are doing......"

Before he could finish speaking, the crowd around the computer desk began to make a loud noise. Some people loudly asked when Jǐng Fang would come to save them, while others loudly accused them in a complaining tone......

I listened impatiently, and when I walked over, I suddenly shouted, "Shut up!" ”

Then I dragged the two men aside one in one hand, and then stood in front of the computer and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about!" If you do this again, I'll shut you up! ”

The scene where I had just led everyone to escape in the hall and fight with the bandits at the same time was still a little bit of prestige, and the two men looked at me with annoyed expressions, and finally stopped talking.

The lady sitting in front of the computer looked at me, and I nodded to her, "Let me speak!" There are so many of us, and we can't say it clearly. ”

Then I immediately said to the screen: "Louis jǐng official! I think the specific situation has been made very clear when we reported jǐng before! We have 12 people here, four women, eight men, and one of them was shot in the leg, but not the aorta. We are currently out of the control of the robbers and hiding in the security lounge on the sixty-second floor. We blocked the door with something heavy, believing that the bandits outside would not be able to rush in for the time being. We now have no food, just a small amount of water. That's probably the case. ”

"Okay, thank you!" Louis Jǐng's face was a little calmer, and he said slowly: I still need to confirm your identity. ”

I took a deep breath and said quickly, "There's no time!" There are 12 of us, three of whom are waiters and nine of whom are guests! And...... There's no time to confirm the time now...... The laptop we are using now was found in the security lounge, and without a charger, the power of the computer can only be maintained for ......" I looked at the lower right corner of the screen and said with a wry smile: "It can only last for about half an hour...... So we don't have time to talk nonsense, let's get rid of the complicated formalities! I just want to ask, do you have a way to get us out of here now? ”

"Sir, please believe that the jǐng side is working hard!" Louis jǐng said loudly, "Also, you ran out of the hands of robbers? I need to know what's going on inside now......"

I understood this very well, and immediately said: "We are on the sixty-second floor, and as far as I know, there were originally nineteen bandits on the sixty-second floor, all armed with firearms. Three of them were under surveillance from the rooftop entrance of the building. The other sixteen are distributed in the halls and the corridors around the perimeter, and are in charge of the jǐng ring. There were twelve in the hall and four in the corridor outside. After a pause, I thought for a moment and said, "Of the original twelve bandits in the hall, I killed one with my own hands when we escaped just now. In addition, two others were wounded by me and my friend, and are probably incapacitated. Please take this into account when calculating the strength of the bandits...... In addition, all the hostages were in the hall. Judging by their attire, I guess they came in dressed as waiters. All the weapons were brought in hidden in the food. ”

I thought for a moment and said, "That's all I can think of now." If you still have any questions, you can add them. I glanced at the battery level on the computer screen again: ......... Twenty-eight minutes to go. ”

"Thank you!" Louis Jǐng's tone was a little respectful: "You are very brave, sir. ”

He then asked me two or three more questions, verifying the details of some of the robbers I knew. Finally I asked, "I still want to ask, now that we are here, can Jǐng have a way to rescue us first?" There is also a wounded here...... I don't know how long you're going to be fighting these bastards...... Although this wounded man has been bandaged by us to stop the bleeding, I think he may not be able to hold out for too long. ”

"We're doing our best!" Luis hesitated for a moment, he looked at me, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "I think it's better for me to tell the truth...... Well, just now, our men tried to land on the rooftop, but the leader of the robbers immediately told us that as soon as one of Jǐngcha's feet stepped on the rooftop, he would immediately start shooting hostages...... Whether his intimidation is genuine or not, we can't risk it...... I'm sorry, but we can't come to your rescue right away...... However, I would advise you to stay here, as it seems that you are in a safe place for now. We'll be out there to get the attention of the bandits, who shouldn't have the strength to force their way through your doors. ”

Really...... It was the same as Yang Wei expected.

Even though I had expected it, I couldn't help but be a little disappointed. And the others behind heard his explanation, and naturally they were even more disappointed! Someone tried to scream and roar again, but I was silenced by a cold look.

……… Twenty-five minutes to go. I took a deep breath and said, "I thought if I could, we'd end our conversation here." In order to save power, let's turn off the call first, I suggest, we talk every half hour, and the timer starts from now on...... In the meantime, I want you to have someone in front of your computer at all times, because in case we have an emergency here, we can always contact you...... Because we have limited power, you don't have that problem. ”

"Okay!" Louis Jǐng looked at me solemnly: "Take care! We'll do everything we can to get you out as soon as possible! ”

Immediately after the call, I immediately switched the computer to the power-saving mode, and after the screen went black,

No matter how much the others behind me complain at the moment, I don't care. walked to Yang Wei's side and sighed: "Sure enough, it's the same as you think." ”

Yang Wei shook her head, she frowned and thought about something, but didn't speak.

I glanced at Jessica, who looked visibly helpless. She came with me. But obviously, I have a closer relationship with Yang Wei and Lei Xiaohu, and even we speak in Chinese. Jessica sat next to her, a little dazed.

I smiled at her, "Come, come on, sit down, we're going to get some rest now." ”

Although I smiled peacefully, my heart was not relaxed......

The atmosphere was a little oppressive. After getting the contact from the jǐng party, everyone had already gathered a lot of hope in their hearts, but after the hope was broken at this moment, people were inevitably a little depressed.

Even old Bruce couldn't help but look a little depressed.

I took out a cigarette and handed it to him, "Do you want to smoke one?" ”

He looked at me and thought, "Hmm...... Although I have quit smoking...... Well, thanks, though. He took the cigarette, and after we lit it, we walked over to the window, and together we watched the countless jǐng lights flickering in the neighborhood below the building.

"This scene, it's familiar, right?" I looked at him: "In several movies you starred in, there are such big scenes." ”

He seemed to smile and shook his head, "Unfortunately, I'm not really a superhero...... We're just actors. Then his expression became a little ridiculous, he took a sullen puff of his cigarette, and then with a little helplessness: "You see, in the hall just now, there were Flash, Spider-Man, and various superheroes in 007, but in such a scene, you don't have to obediently raise your hands and squat on the ground." Movies are movies after all, and no one can have a killing bolt in their eyes, or punch through a wall. He looked at his already fat body and said with a smile: "Look at me, now my waist is much thicker, and if I am asked to act in those action movies, I will be a little powerless." ”

Then he looked at me, "Tell me about you, Chen." I'm curious about you...... You ...... two hits just now," he gestured, and then smiled, "But it's very powerful." ”

I suddenly remembered. Old Bruce seems to be a guy who is very interested in Chinese kung fu, and I once saw some similar reports, and immediately laughed: "I have practiced some martial arts since I was a child. ”

"Hmm......" he looked at me, "you're pretty good-looking, and you're good at kung fu." There is a chance to become an action movie star in the future. ”

I laughed and flicked the ashes of my cigarette: "Me? Acting in a movie? Forget that...... I haven't heard of the owner of a film company starring in a movie himself...... Well, at least not in Hollywood, but there are quite a few in Hong Kong. ”

Bruce laughed...... In fact, this tough guy on the screen laughs very gentlemanly: "Oh, I'm sorry, I almost forgot your identity." By the way, I've also seen the news and heard that you bought a film company. Are you really ready to make a movie? ”

"yes, if I'm going to invest in the filming of the fifth part of Die Hard. Are you interested in starring in it? I looked at him half-jokingly. He thought for a moment and patted me on the shoulder: "I don't want to make any more movies in this series." But. If you're really ready to make a movie, you can come to me. As long as I'm okay with my schedule......" He winked at me and held out his hand: "Now, I think we're friends...... So, as a friend, I'm here to say to you: Welcome to Hollywood. Of course...... We have to get out safely. ”

I shook his hand vigorously.

Then he smiled. He whispered, "Hey, I see you're here with Jessica, she's a nice beauty." ”

I shook my head, "Hmm. We're just friends. ”

I'm already very happy and I've got a good relationship with Bruce Sr., which is a great thing for me...... First of all, I love his films, and he's also a movie actor that I really like. It's a pleasure to be friends with your idols. Secondly, he is a senior star in Hollywood, and his connections are very deep! Being able to make friends with such people will be very helpful for my future career! It doesn't matter if he will appear in my company's movies or not...... It's all an asset!

We chatted by the window for a few minutes, and then Yang Wei called out to me. Old Bruce and I nodded, and walked over.

"Chen Yang, I have something to tell you." Yang sighed slightly, her eyes were serious.

"What's wrong?" I saw Yang Wei's expression, and I had some bad premonitions in my heart.

"I ...... I've been thinking about it just now, and I always feel that tonight's events are a little too strange. Yang Wei shook his head: "This matter, those robbers outside...... They look professional, they have guns, they have body armor, they are organized. And those men obeyed the orders of the chieftain, and acted with great efficiency...... All of this makes me feel like they are no ordinary robbers...... Or, even first-class robbers, I'm afraid they don't have such qualities as theirs! ”

"What do you want to say?"

"I would say that it's not that simple." As if he couldn't help it, Yang Wei gently pressed his chest with one hand, then smiled reluctantly, and said, "Chen Yang, I have analyzed a few doubts, maybe you are interested......"

I nodded, and then listened to Yang Wei continue:

"First of all, they seem to be targeting those jewels...... However, what puzzles me is...... As you can see, these people are divided into two factions, and the three white people are one faction. The guy whose boss is called Jack...... I think he's more of a standard robber! Because in the way he looked at the jewels and diamonds, I saw greed, a real greed, a desire to keep it for myself...... Such an expression is normal!! And that Lamouche, he ...... I don't know how to say it...... In short, he was so calm! Calm is not like a bandit. I don't know if you noticed it, from beginning to end, he didn't look at those diamonds at all, as if he didn't have much interest in those treasures worth tens of millions or even billions. ”

I thought for a moment: "Maybe...... Maybe that's what he is. It may not be surprising that chiefs are usually kept calm and sane. ”

"Hmm!" Yang Wei nodded: "At the beginning, I thought the same way. A leader who is out of the sè must be good at controlling his emotions, this point. I'm starting to think that Lamouche is just a good leader, and that he's just keeping his emotions in check. But then I found out something was wrong...... Even though Lamouche is the leader, he can control his emotions...... But you find not, not even his men. The dozen or so robbers didn't seem to have much interest in the diamonds. There was no greed in their eyes. Then she smiled bitterly: "Normal people, when they see so many diamonds and so many jewels, they will always involuntarily take a few more looks, and even show hope in their eyes." But these people have no interest at all...... If the quality of these robbers is already as high as that of strict professional soldiers...... That's obviously impossible! ”

I also fell into deep thought, and said slowly: "Go on......"

Yang Wei took a deep breath, and then continued: "Second, I carefully analyzed their plan of action...... You see. For this exhibition, the 62nd and 61st floors of the building are active areas. They controlled the two floors, but they didn't immediately find a way to take the jewels. Instead, he patiently controlled the hostages, arranged defenses and jǐng rings, and controlled camera probes...... It's a complete gesture of being ready to stick here!! Moreover, they also blocked all the passages, leaving only the rooftop road for themselves! If it's an ordinary person. Maybe not...... But don't forget, you, and my family. It's all about underworld backgrounds! I know the rules of the robbers! A good robber, no matter what he does, will lay out a safe escape path for himself! And there is usually more than one way to evacuate! Definitely not put yourself in a desperate situation like they did! But if they weren't good robbers...... But these people of theirs are of such high quality......

"What else?"

"And ...... The third point! Yang smiled bitterly: "The third point is us!" We did take the opportunity to escape...... But honestly, don't you think we're too quiet when we hide in this room? ”

"What do you mean?" I looked at her.

Yang Weimian sèyīn Shen: "I mean...... Their performance is too negative. You see. We're hiding here, they know. Indeed, this is the security lounge, where all the spare keys are stored, so this room is very secure, and the door panels, as well as the walls, are all embedded with steel plates, and it may be difficult for them to break in...... But don't forget, it's just 'difficult' to break through, not 'absolutely impossible'! Originally, my calculation was that they would at least make some efforts under anger, try it head-on, break through, and finally give up. But now you see it...... From the time we came in, they were barely prepared for anything. Just the symbol of xìng banged on the door a few times and ignored us. Don't you think that's too abnormal? They didn't even try! When Yang Wei said this, she took a few deep breaths and said slowly: "I think that such an abnormal situation can show that: First, they are very familiar with the topography of this building!" So even though we're hiding here, they're not worried about what we're going to do...... Second, they don't care if we're hiding here! Or rather...... They think that we are hiding here, but in fact we are trapping ourselves to death, and we are also hostages to them...... And they don't have to send someone to guard us hostages......"

I opened my mouth, a little speechless.

But Yang Wei hasn't finished speaking!

"The fourth point...... According to the original schedule, the jewelry will be taken out of those explosion-proof glass cabinets at 10 o'clock tonight! And then wear it on those Hollywood female stars...... Do you think that since these bandits have the ability to infiltrate ...... If they choose to do it at 10 o'clock, after the event starts...... Wouldn't it be much easier? At that time, the jewelry had already been taken out, and it was at least a hundred times easier for them to snatch these diamond jewelry from the bodies and necks of those Hollywood female stars than from the explosion-proof glass cabinets, right? ”

I've changed!

Yang Wei's face was ugly: "So...... I don't think these people are here for jewelry!! Or rather, the three white men led by Jack or the orthodox robbers...... And that Lamouche and his men, I'm afraid they have another purpose! ”
