Both money and sex

Dongfang Building has a total of 88 floors, all of which belong to Jiahao Hotel.

Among them, the first floor is the hotel lobby, the second floor is the cafeteria, and the third floor has several smaller meeting rooms in addition to this huge multifunctional conference hall.

In order to ensure the order of the auction site and the safety of the auction items, the auction company invited [-] security guards from the security company, plus several security guards from Jiahao Hotel itself, there were nearly [-] security guards in the exhibition hall.

Moreover, in order to ensure the safety of the auction, after the auction officially started, people outside were not allowed to enter casually, and people inside were not allowed to leave the exhibition hall at will, and the double-opening doors of the exhibition hall were tightly closed.

Therefore, despite the thick smoke billowing in the corridor, the auction site was still in full swing, and no one noticed the situation.

Just as Luo Ping ran to the hall, the smoke alarm in the monitoring room on the first floor of Dongfang Building blared frantically, and the security guard on duty quickly called out the monitoring.

"It's on fire!"

With a roar, the security guard quickly picked up the walkie-talkie on the table.

……

Bang bang bang!

Luo Ping kept knocking on the door.

"Open the door quickly, it's on fire outside!"

"Let's go, the auction has already started, even if there is an earthquake, you won't be able to come in." The security guard inside thought that Luo Ping was trying to trick the door into opening, and responded impatiently.

"It's really on fire. If you don't believe me, open the door and have a look." Luo Ping was in a hurry, but the security inside was indifferent. He responded a few times at first, but soon he didn't bother to talk to him anymore.

At this time, Lot No. [-] happened to be sold at an astonishingly high price, and the scene was ebullient, and the loud exclamation almost knocked off the floor.

The security guard couldn't hear the anxious call coming from the walkie-talkie pinned to his waist.

The Jiahao Hotel is a five-star hotel with luxurious decoration. Almost all the walls are covered with wallpaper, and decorations of wooden structure and foam structure can be seen everywhere.

The flames from the stairwell spread rapidly, accompanied by thick black smoke engulfing everything in the corridor at an alarming speed.

Not waiting for time, Luo Ping retreated about ten steps, stopped when he was close to the flame, then started suddenly, and rushed towards the gate like lightning.

Snapped!

With a loud bang, the door was knocked open by him.At the same time, everyone at the auction site heard the loud noise and all turned their heads to look over.

"Ah, it's on fire outside!"

Thick black smoke poured into the hall along with Luo Ping, and everyone immediately understood what happened.

Wang Zijun also ran into the hall together. He saw two security guards guarding the door staring blankly at the corridor, and shouted angrily, "Silly 13, close the door quickly and organize everyone to leave the building immediately."

"Attention, attention, the second floor of the hotel is on fire, and now it is rapidly spreading to the third floor. Please organize the evacuation of people quickly, and organize the evacuation of people quickly."

An anxious voice came from the intercom, and the two security guards woke up like a dream, and quickly closed the door again.At the moment when the gate was closed, the frontmost flame was only three meters away from the gate.

"Run!"

The auction site was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly someone shouted, and the scene immediately began to riot.

This hall has two exits, the front and the back. Now the front door is blocked by the fire, and everyone can only escape through the back door.

When people rushed to the exit behind the booth, several security guards with shotguns blocked the road.

"Please stay calm, everyone, please stay calm, everyone, line up first, and then leave in order, don't fight each other to avoid stampede accidents." The host stood on the stage and said loudly.

However, right behind him, under the protection of security guards, the staff of the auction company were quickly packing the items that had not yet been delivered to the buyers.

"Hurry up and let us out, you bastards, are you asking for money or your life?" someone shouted.

"Go. You. Damn." A burly man rushed up to the booth and pushed the host away, "Everyone, go, the fire will be over soon."

The man quickly ran towards the exit, and the security guard with the shotgun suddenly raised his gun and aimed it at him.

"Stop, if you don't stop I'm going to shoot."

The man just paused, not believing that the security guard would shoot at all, and ran towards the exit behind them.

boom!

With a gunshot, the burly young man fell down in disbelief, clutching his legs.

There was a lot of screaming at the scene, and some women in the front saw the bright red blood flowing from the man's legs, and screamed repeatedly in fright.

Luo Ping and Wang Zijun had already found Liu Qi and Ma Sanjia among the chaotic crowd.The two of them were knocked down in panic just now, and now they fell on the periphery of the crowd.

Seeing that they were all right, Luo Ping temporarily let go of his worries.He asked Liu Qi for his mobile phone, and quickly dialed the fire alarm number, but he couldn't get through. It seemed that there were countless people calling this number.

Thick smoke kept coming in through the gap in the door, and the multi-functional hall smelled pungent and smoky.

After the gunshot, the scene paused for a while, and suddenly a man rushed out from the crowd.

His hair was disheveled, and his suit was torn with a big gap. It was the old man sitting behind Luo Ping and the others.

He rushed three meters away from the security guard, took out a small red book from his pocket, "I'm from the Beihe Provincial Government, and I need to go out immediately for urgent matters, please let me go out first. "

Several security guards hesitated for a moment, and stepped aside to make way for a small path. The middle-aged man immediately got through and ran towards the exit.

"Honey, wait for me."

A woman yelled frantically, it was the young woman who was in his arms just now.Her high heels had long been lost, her hair was messed up like a bird's nest, she squeezed out of the crowd desperately, and chased after him.

"stop!"

The security guard raised his gun and stopped her with a stern face.

"Husband, tell them to let me go, husband!"

The woman shouted loudly, but the middle-aged man left the scene without looking back, and his back quickly disappeared at the exit.

"Fire is coming in!"

Someone yelled, and everyone looked back, only to see a small flame coming in through the crack of the door, almost igniting the wallpaper on both sides of the door in the blink of an eye, and the flame quickly shot up to the ceiling, igniting the auction house. Well-placed decorations.

The speed of going too far exceeded everyone's expectations, and people could no longer calm down, and they all rushed towards the security guards like a tide.

At this time, the staff of the auction company had already packed all the auction items and was about to take them away from the scene.

"Stop them, stop them."

A manager-like figure suddenly jumped out from the background, frantically ordering the security guards.At the same time, he and his colleagues quickly ran towards the exit carrying the small lockbox.

But at this moment, there was a scream from the exit, and a person fell in from the outside covered in fire.

He kept rolling on the ground, but the fire had already ignited the high-end suit on his body, no matter how much he rolled, he couldn't extinguish the fire on his body.

Judging from the sound, the man on fire was the middle-aged man who ran out just now.

A puff of smoke came in from the back door, followed by clusters of dancing flames.

The back door was also on fire.

……

After leaving the courtyard, Wang Ziqing drove the car and wandered unconsciously on the street, not knowing where she was going or not wanting to go. Looking at the idle people outside the car window, she felt very lonely.

There was a traffic jam ahead, which was quite common in Beijing.Wang Ziqing opened the CD, listened to the soothing classical music, and waited quietly.

The piercing fire alarm sounded, and she turned her head to take a look. Several red fire trucks were driving in the opposite direction along the opposite lane, rushing forward quickly.

It seemed that something was on fire again.

She got out of the car and looked into the distance, which was the bustling area within the second ring road.

In the distance, there are really black smoke and dust floating continuously, it seems that the fire is not small.

She suddenly felt uneasy, thinking that Wang Zijun had left the house early in the morning, so she hurried back to the car, took out the phone from her bag and called him.

……

Wang Zijun was also on the phone, but almost everyone at the scene was making calls, and the signal was busy, so he couldn't contact the outside world at all.

The back door was also surrounded by fire, and people from the auction company were also blocked at the door.The man who looked like the manager just jumped his feet in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do.

Several security guards quickly brought a fire extinguisher and extinguished the flames on the middle-aged man, but he was dying and lying motionless on the ground.

The young woman rushed over and looked at the burning man, but she didn't feel sad at all.

"You son of a bitch, you bastard, this is what happens when you leave your old lady behind. You deserve it!"

No one cared about them anymore, some people were crying in the crowd, some people were talking on the phone loudly, and almost everyone was at a loss.

Luo Ping found a security guard at the door in the crowd.

"Is there another exit here?"

This security guard belonged to the Jiahao Company and knew the situation here relatively well, but he was already frightened and his face was pale. It wasn't until Luo Ping shook him violently that he regained some sanity.

"No, no more."

Luo Ping let him go in disappointment, and the security guard's legs went limp and he fell to the ground.

Attacking back and forth, the fire quickly spread towards the multi-purpose hall.Luo Ping jumped onto the table, looked around, looking for an escape opportunity.

A hundred or so people were either rich or noble, but they were huddled tightly in the corner at a loss at this moment. The loud cries of women and children cast a lingering shadow of death on everyone's hearts.

……

"Sister, I'm in Jiahao, there's a big fire here, we're stuck on the third floor and can't get out."

Wang Zijun finally received a call from Wang Ziqing, and he was too frightened, his voice was no longer as hip-hop as before, and there was a hint of trembling in fear.

"what!"

Wang Ziqing's face was pale. Although Wang Zijun was not her biological brother, the relationship between the two of them was already closer than that of ordinary siblings.

"Zijun, listen to me, don't panic, the fire engine has already rushed over, you will be fine."

After appeasing Wang Zijun, she quickly got out of the car, dialed the phone number at home, and ran towards Jiahao Hotel at the same time.

In the distance, black smoke billowed.
