Chapter 171 [Quantum Fund, Hotel Crisis] Ask for subscription
There was a loud bang.
The skyscraper's massive fluorescent screen crashed down, causing a violent commotion in the crowd, and terrible screams exploded from the crowd, sending the terrified crowd flying out in all directions like fragments of an explosion.
Immediately afterward, a blazing wave burst out of the middle of the building, accompanied by an earth-shattering loud noise, billowing smoke like an overwhelming sandstorm, rising into the air, accompanied by scarlet flames engulfing the building, and the building began to crumble, letting out a feeble moan.
Under the frightened eyes of countless people, large swaths of concrete fell from the sky, like meteors in the sky, and smashed into the ground with a bang, smashing the originally neat cement floor out of one deep pit after another.
The earth began to tremble unconsciously, and the dust flew in the air, and it seemed as if even the air was quiet.
In the distance crowd, everyone watched all this in disbelief, some people shuddered and watched the skyscraper collapse, the whole person seemed to be stunned in place, I don't know how long it took, he trembled and screamed.
"Oh my God, the edifice is collapsing!"
"Fight 911!"
"Call the police, call the police!"
"Oh my God, what's going on in Las Vegas?"
Panic!
All the people who witnessed the collapse of the building began to panic, and they took out their mobile phones to call the police, but the phone was always busy.
At this moment, I don't know how many people called the police, which directly caused the phone of the police station to be unprecedentedly busy!
……
In a conference room on the top floor of a building in New York, it was late at night, but there was still a group of people sitting here.
An old man with white hair and beard said, "Mr. White, of course I believe in your quantum fund, but how can you guarantee that the stock market will fall sharply tomorrow?" You must know that the stock market has been on the rise now, and everyone knows that it is impossible for the stock market to fall in the short term. ”
"Mr. Tom is right, the stock market has been going up right now, and everyone knows that it is unlikely to fall in the short term, but who can predict what will happen tomorrow?"
Mr. White said with a smile: "I really like to watch Forrest Gump, and I especially like the sentence in it: Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what the next one will taste like." But ......"
As soon as he spoke, Mr. White said, "But you are all intelligent people, and life is unpredictable, but chocolate has a way of knowing its taste." ”
As he spoke, he took out a remote control and turned on the projector behind him.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was a shocking noise in the projector, and the screen appeared in the picture of the earth-shattering explosion in Las Vegas at this time.
"It was a shocking explosion in Las Vegas just now, I don't know what happened, but when my men reported it to me, I knew it was an opportunity. The stock market has been on the rise for the past year, with a lot of money pouring into the stock market, and I think it's time to harvest! ”
With a click, Mr. White, who was sitting in the chairman's seat, turned off the projector, turned to look at the people who were still in a state of shock, and said with a smile: "How are you?" Do you believe in the capabilities of our organization? Next, I hope that you will go all out to short the stock market tomorrow morning. ”
Everyone in the conference room glanced at each other, and they all saw the greed in each other's eyes.
"Yes!"
"No problem!"
"Go all out short!"
Listening to their affirmative words, a subtle smile crossed the corner of Mr. White's lips.
……
Las vegas.
At this moment, the city that never sleeps was in an unprecedented panic.
A large number of police cars and ambulances are racing through the streets, countless ordinary tourists and citizens have to rush back to their hotels or homes, and some people are already planning to leave the chaotic city quickly.
At the moment when the building collapsed, in a guest room on the tenth floor of the Grand Hotel de Paris, Gu Ren looked at a group of masked people rushing down downstairs, his brows furrowed deeply, and he was thinking about what to do next, when suddenly a shocking explosion sounded.
When I looked up, I saw a raging flame coming out of the middle of a 100-meter-high skyscraper in the distance, and the rolling flames began to gradually devour the rest of the building like a fiery snake.
Without waiting for Gu Ren to react to what was happening, the next scene completely stunned him!
With a shocking sound, the hundred-meter-high skyscraper began to collapse.
"What's going on out there?"
Dominica behind her walked over quickly, and before Gu Ren could speak, she saw the picture of the collapse of the building in the distance through the floor-to-ceiling window, and couldn't help covering her mouth and said in surprise: "What's going on?" ”
"I don't know, but your plan might be in trouble!"
Gu Ren frowned, not looking at the collapsed building in the distance, but at the six or seven vans parked downstairs.
Dominica frowned, "What do you mean?" ”
Gu Ren was surprised: "You didn't hear it just now?" ”
Dominica shook her head: "No, I was on the phone just now. ”
"There's a group of people downstairs, presumably Sever's men or someone from a terrorist organization."
Saying that, Gu Ren told him what had just happened.
Dominica was startled at first, then didn't know what to think, her brown eyes gradually brightened, and she squinted slightly: "I have a new idea!" ”
Looking at the mysterious Dominica, Gu Ren raised his eyebrows.
……
Bang!
Two masked men kicked open the door of the guest room with rifles, pointed their guns at a frightened couple of men and women inside, and shouted, "Put on my clothes!" ”
After stumbling for dozens of seconds, two masked men and women pressed the man and woman towards the platform on the top floor of the hotel.
This scene took place simultaneously on various floors of the hotel.
This was Sever's idea, and the helicopter still had half an hour to go, and in order to avoid being surrounded by the police, they had to have enough hostages to make sure that the police would not choose to storm it.
A short time later, two masked terrorists arrived on the tenth floor of the hotel.
The two walked directly through the nearest rooms, towards the front rooms, they had already controlled the front desk downstairs, and they were able to easily obtain all the registered customer information, knowing that they knew that there was someone in that room and no one in that room.
Bane pointed to a row of rooms on the right and said, "Gree, you start on the right." ”
"Understood."
After speaking, Gree walked to the first guest room on the right, kicked the door open violently with his foot, and dragged the other party's hair to pull the person out directly amid the screams of the guests inside.
Time passed little by little, and before I knew it, most of the guests on the tenth floor had been forcibly dragged out.
At this time, more than a dozen guests in the aisle were squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, and they honestly didn't dare to move at all.
Bane looked at the men and said to Gree, "You take them upstairs first, and I'll take the rest." ”
Gree pulled the bolt of the gun with a click, and shouted at the hostages squatting on the ground: "Get up for me, take the stairs to the top!" ”
Watching the crowd gradually walk from the safe passage to the roof, Bane walked quickly to the last guest room, looked at the closed door, and just puffed up a breath and was about to kick the door open, the door was opened directly.
A black figure appeared in front of Bane, and before he could react, a sharp dagger pierced his neck, stabbing and splattering blood on the white aisle tiles.
Quickly kill this terrorist, Gu Ren dragged his body back to the room, closed the door, and said to Dominica inside: "I'll change into his clothes and go up, you act according to the plan." ”
