Autumn 2036,

Buffalo is a medium-sized city located in the East District of Hailan District. With a population of nearly two million, it is rich in resources, economically prosperous and picturesque.

It's autumn, but it's still hot.

"On September 12th, the weather was sunny and the temperature was 30 degrees", Ashley put down his phone and sighed. She glanced at the vehicles and pedestrians coming and going outside the store, and sighed that life is not easy. Eyes pulled back into the restaurant, looking at the customers who came to eat, and a smile appeared on her face again.

Two months ago, Ashe used his savings to open a restaurant here, and because of the good location and the chef's skills, the business is reasonable.

It was a hot day, and Ashley didn't think there were many customers, but to his surprise, there were still nine customers in the store.

Ashley's restaurant not only sells food, but she also builds a "minibar" to sell drinks to customers, and Ashley's uncle Jimmy is in charge of this.

Jimmy is Ashley's own uncle and is in his 50s this year. Jimmy divorced his ex-wife when he was young, and his only son was given to his ex-wife. And Ashley's parents both died at an early age, so uncle Jimmy has treated Ashley as his daughter since he was a child, and Ashley loves his uncle very much.

Uncle Jimmy sat on a bar chair inside the counter, wiping his glass and chatting with a black uncle. The black uncle was also a regular customer at Ashley's shop, and often came to drink. Jimmy loves to talk to people, and the two people who come and go have become friends.

Sitting next to the black uncle was a girl with heavy makeup, dressed sexy, with heavy makeup painted on her face. She didn't speak, she just drank.

At this time, a young man who looked like a worker came straight to Ashley from outside the door. I saw him wipe the sweat from his head, and then said to Ashley: "The glass is all ready, you can check it." If there are no problems, can I settle the bill? ”

Ashley put down the rag in his hand, nodded, pushed the door open, and stood in front of the glass window to watch.

It turned out that just two days ago, a store not far from the restaurant was robbed and burned by gangsters, and Ashley was worried that his store would also be destroyed, so he replaced the doors and windows of the restaurant with tempered glass made in country Z.

After a while, Ashley returned from outside.

She personally poured a glass of ice water for the worker and handed it to the worker. After taking the water, the worker took a big sip and thanked Ashley.

At this time, Ashley smiled and said, "The installation is very good, there is no problem." As he spoke, he took out a few pieces of money from his pocket and handed them to the worker, who took the money and made sure that the amount was okay and left.

Ashley looked back after sending the workers away, and found a blue bag next to the cash register, which he opened to see that it was full of various tools, including a nail gun.

Ashley thought to herself that the worker had been left in the shop, and she picked up her bag and turned around to catch up with him and give it back to him. But when she pushed the door and went out to look around, she found that the worker didn't know where to go, so she had no choice but to go back to the store.

Ashley kept the kit in a drawer under the cash register, keeping it for the time being, and when the worker remembered it, he would come back to pick it up.

As soon as he put the kit away, before Ashley could stand up, he heard a loud bang, like an explosion.

The sudden loud noise startled everyone, including Ashley. Ashley hurried out of the store with doubts in his heart to check on the situation.

The customers were almost all frightened and confused at this time, and when Jimmy saw this scene, he quickly stood up and signaled to calm everyone's emotions and signal everyone not to panic. Then he was ready to push the door open and go out to see what was going on.

But before he could push the door, he saw Ashley push the door open and come in with a frightened expression.

Looking at Ashley, whose face was pale and sweaty, Jimmy also realized the seriousness of the problem.

He hurriedly asked Ashley what was wrong, but Ashley seemed frightened and couldn't say anything for a while.

Sensing that something was wrong, Jimmy glanced back at the equally panicked customers, then leaned his head closer to Ashley and whispered, "What happened?" ”

Ashley didn't answer Jimmy's question, but paused before saying, "Shut the door!" Don't let them in! ”
