There was a loud 'bang'.

Even with a silencer-like device installed, it still causes tinnitus.

The security lock suddenly disconnected.

The other party calmly put the gun away, as if they had already decided that Nan Shu was the turtle caught in the jar, like a tiger playing with a rabbit.

Nan Shu was hesitating between jumping out of the third-floor window with Tie Hanhan in her arms and holding on a little longer, waiting for the police to arrive.

Then a scream was heard.

It seems someone is coming down the corridor.

Or perhaps someone, out of curiosity, opened the door to take a look.

Immediately afterwards, gunshots rang out again.

The sound of something falling heavily to the ground.

"Fuck you, uncle!"

Nan Shu's heart tightened.

Taking advantage of the opening, Nan Shu quickly got up, moved a chair to block the door, and used the chair and bed to form a triangle, so that even if the other party pushed the door hard, it would take more effort.

Nan Shu heard the other person seem to laugh. She pushed the door, but it didn't open. Instead, she stopped insisting and walked away.

But Nan Shu would rather the other party spend a little more time at her room door.

Nan Shu's expression turned serious, and her mind raced.

The other side had guns, and the disparity between the two sides was simply too great. In the face of 'truth,' it seemed that any action was futile.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Nan Shu's palms were sweating as she hugged Tie Hanhan tightly.

You're so dense! Think of something!

Now, the hotel staff may have already noticed something amiss. Even though the security personnel are fully armed, Nan Shu would rather the staff not take any rash actions given that the other party is armed.

Just as Nan Shu was pondering, she caught a glimpse of a cockroach slowly crawling along a crack in the wall.

It seemed to notice Nan Shu's gaze, paused, and glanced at her.

Nan Shu: ...

A four-star hotel... and there are still cockroaches? This is truly worthy of Guangcheng. It's winter, and the cockroaches are still so tenacious.

One person and one cockroach, staring at each other with wide eyes.

"You don't want to stomp me to death?"

Xiaoqiang made a slight sound.

Nan Shu: "...I don't really want to."

“You are special. Every human who sees us wants to kill us.”

Xiaoqiang said earnestly.

Nan Shu's lips twitched slightly: "Thank you for the compliment."

"You're welcome."

After Xiaoqiang finished speaking, he seemed to realize that Nan Shu seemed to understand him. He paused for a moment, then said, "As expected, you are special. You look very troubled right now. Have you encountered some difficulties?"

Nan Shu never imagined that she would one day have such a friendly conversation with Xiao Qiang.

"Yes, someone wanted to hurt me and the other guests in this building."

"Hmm, that is indeed a bit difficult."

Xiao Qiang hesitated for a moment, then said, "How about this, we'll help you, but could you bring me some food?"

Winter is much more difficult for them than summer.

"How are you going to help?"

And that character '们'.

This reminded Nan Shu of a saying: "If you find a cockroach in the sunlight, it means there are too many in the dark."

Is this the legendary Guangcheng specialty?
"You don't have to worry about this."

Xiaoqiang said.

"Do you agree?"

"Okay... but be careful, that guy has a gun, which is more dangerous than fire."

Because she could understand what they were saying, Nan Shu found it really hard to treat Xiao Qiang like an ordinary cockroach, and reminded her.

"You are the first human I've ever met who doesn't hate us. Don't worry, wait for my news."

As he spoke, Xiao Qiang spread his wings and flew up in front of Nan Shu. With a few leaps, he flew out through the crack in the door.

Iron-headed fool scratched at the ground.

Nan Shu snapped out of her daze, sensing its restlessness, and asked in confusion, "Silly boy, what are you thinking about?"

Tie Hanhan felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look at Nan Shu.

It simply nuzzled Nan Shu's arm with its head, a gesture that seemed somewhat ingratiating. Nan Shu realized what it meant, "You weren't thinking of eating Xiao Qiang just now, were you?"

Tie Hanhan felt even more guilty. There was nothing he could do; it was a genetic issue!

Nan Shu was both amused and exasperated, and pinched its big face.

He didn't say anything more, but listened carefully to the sounds outside.

After an unknown amount of time, Nan Shu heard several more gunshots, chaotic and disorderly.

It sounded like a gunshot was fired suddenly in a panic, accompanied by a few curses.

Followed by.

It was the sound of a man screaming in pain.

This time, Nan Shu heard it clearly.

That person is shouting.

"Go away!"

Followed by.

A jumble of footsteps rang out, followed by an even louder gunshot from a standard-issue pistol.

Nan Shu's eyes lit up immediately.

There was a knock on the door.

Nan Punian's voice rang out from outside the door: "Xiao Shu?"

The tension and panic were unmistakable in his voice.

Through the crack in the door, Nan Punian could see the damaged security chain and the deep, deep bullet holes in the wall.

Nan Punian felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his heart tightly, making it impossible for him to breathe.

He didn't even dare to push the door open forcefully, afraid of seeing Xiao Shu lying in a pool of blood inside the room.

On the way here, he sent several messages to Nan Shu, but received no reply, which made Nan Punian uneasy the whole way.

Simultaneously.

Endless regret spread through my heart.

Is DNA testing really that important?

If Xi Nian is truly dead, it should be possible to conduct an autopsy tomorrow, right?

How could he let Xiaoshu go back to the hotel alone?
Xiao Shu was visiting Guangcheng for the first time and was unfamiliar with the place. How could he be so at ease?
If something happens to Xiaoshu...

Nan Punian felt pain even in his chest with each breath.

until--

"South Team?"

The girl's voice rang out.

In that instant, Nan Punian felt as if he had come back to life.

"Xiao Shu! It's me. You're safe now. Everything's alright."

"it is good."

Hearing Nan Punian's voice, Nan Shu breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Suddenly, all the tension receded like a receding tide.

Nan Shu held onto the edge of the bed, trying to stand up, but found her legs were too weak.

Nan Shu: ...

"Nan team leader, I'm fine. Wait for me to catch my breath."

Hearing the little girl's words of relief, Nan Punian felt a pang of pain in his heart. If he were there, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

"Okay, no rush."

Nan Punian didn't check on the man's condition. The special police had already subdued him. Only when he saw Nan Shu standing unharmed in front of him could he truly relax.

Nan Shu responded softly, and after five or six minutes, she felt better and pushed away the small table and bed that were blocking the door.

open the door.

"South…"

Before Nan Shu could finish speaking, she was embraced tightly.

队?
Ok?
Nan Shu was stunned, but still subconsciously raised her hand and patted his back.

"Nan, what's wrong?"

"I'm so sorry, Xiaoshu. I'm so glad you're alright. I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have let you go back to the hotel alone. I'm so sorry..."

By the end, Nan Punian's voice seemed to have choked up a little.

Nan Shu was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this.

"Team Leader Nan, this has nothing to do with you." (End of Chapter)
