Chapter 84 Major Event, Message: Let's Grow Bigger and Stronger Together

what! !

Upon hearing the gunshot, the celebrities at the exhibition immediately fled in terror, their screams echoing throughout the venue.

"Everyone, get down!"

The ruthless bandits roared like wolves, and everyone's heart trembled. Instinctively, they covered their heads and squatted down.

"Police, don't move!"

Zhou Wenjian, with a walkie-talkie hanging from his waist, was leisurely drinking red wine when he was suddenly startled by the scene before him. He instinctively drew his pistol and shouted.

The general manager and Chen Liming, who had been crouching down with their heads in their hands, looked up with surprise, as if they had seen a glimmer of hope.

The next moment————

Click!Click!

Upon hearing this "heavenly sound," the thugs unanimously raised their Uzi submachine guns.

At the same time, six ruthless bandits carrying submachine guns rushed out from the second floor of the venue, all aiming at Zhou Wenjian, who was holding a .38 rifle.

Zhou Wenjian broke out in a cold sweat.

Although he was holding a gun, it felt as hot as a red-hot iron rod.

Sang Bang glanced contemptuously at the .38 rifle in Zhou Wenjian's hand. "Sir, I wonder if your gun is faster, or ours?"

"Sangbang, how dare you speak to your superior like that?" Rabbit raised his hands, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. "Sir, I surrender. Please don't kill me. I'm so scared."

Zhou Wenjian's face twitched. He glanced around at the situation and put down the .38 pistol in his hand. He laughed dryly and said, "Ha, this is actually a toy gun—it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

That's what he said, but he had already secretly pressed the intercom, trying to transmit the situation in the venue.

"Sir, you're not planning to wait for your subordinates to rush in and rescue you, are you?"

Zhou Wenjian of the Rabbit Team seemed oblivious to their subtle actions, and like a frightened rabbit, he said fearfully, "If they really break in, I'll be the first to surrender."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the thugs behind him immediately opened a package, from which seven or eight .38 rifles fell out.

When Zhou Wenjian saw this scene, his scalp tingled. Their political department had only sent a small team to participate in the security, and judging from the number of .38 caliber bullets thrown by the bandits, their entire team had been wiped out.

"I'm so sorry, we cleaned up some trash on our way here, leaving only this pile of scrap metal. I wonder if you recognize it, sir?"

The rabbit looked apologetic, as if it had done something wrong.

Zhou Wenjian swallowed hard, cold sweat pouring down his face. He stammered, "N-I don't know him."

"Pah, what a fucking coward!"

Sangbang spat and, with a look of disdain, stepped forward and slapped Zhou Wenjian across the face, leaving Zhou Wenjian dizzy and disoriented, but he didn't dare to say a word.

"This is big news!"

Crouching among the crowd, Yue Huizhen's beautiful eyes sparkled with excitement as she quietly pointed her camera at the thugs, recording everything that was happening around her.

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Idiot Li's forehead. "Young Miss, you're playing with fire! If you're attacked by ruthless bandits, you'll be riddled with bullets."

"Dad, send a message to Commander Lu—"

Longwei trembled as he reminded his father.

"Don't make a sound, or someone will hear you."

Longwei's father, who was secretly editing a text message, glared at Longwei.

"A coward like you is just a waste of food to have in this world."

Seeing that Zhou Wenjian dared not resist at all, Sang Bang drew his pistol and was about to execute him. Zhou Wenjian's crotch became wet, and he knelt down in shock. "Brother, spare my life! I'm a detective from the Political Department. I'm useful. I can be your hostage—"

waste!

The wealthy and famous people who had been hoping for Zhou Wenjian to make a comeback cursed him under their breath when they saw his cowardly behavior.

The general manager and Chen Liming kept their heads down, afraid of attracting the attention of the thugs.

"Sangbang, spare his life, we'll use him as a hostage later."

Rabbit waved to stop Sang Bang from acting impulsively. Zhou Wenjian was a minor leader in the Political Department and had some value as a hostage.

spit!

Sang Bang spat in Zhou Wenjian's face with disdain. Zhou Wenjian felt humiliated but dared not show it. He could only force a smile and wait for the spit to dry.

After dealing with Zhou Wenjian, Rabbit turned to the celebrities and tycoons present, a smile on his face, "Don't be afraid, everyone. We only want money, we won't kill anyone. As long as you cooperate obediently, I'll let you go after I get the jewelry."

While he was speaking, the other thugs had already planted bombs all around, making Long Wei and the others' scalps tingle. This was hardly the kind of thing that would let them leave.

"Mr. Chen Liming, if I may ask, could you please tell us the combination lock for the display case?"

"I...I don't know. I'm only in charge of security. The display cases are not within my jurisdiction."

Chen Liming's face was deathly pale.

The rabbit nodded. "So saying that won't help you?"

"I----"

boom!

Before Chen Liming could explain, a gunshot rang out, and everyone gasped in surprise.

Downstairs, Lu Ming and his group were watching the Jundu Hotel from their car across the street.

"Something seems off. Why are the security company staff changing shifts so quickly?"

Lu Ming stared at the security personnel who had just changed shifts. The guests had just entered, and the shifts were changing so soon. Was this reasonable?

Moreover, he keenly sensed the chilling aura emanating from the new security personnel, an aura not found in ordinary security personnel.

Could it be that the doctor and his criminal gang have succeeded? No way!

He was startled. Could the political department be so incompetent that they were caught off guard by the doctor and his gang of thugs despite being prepared in advance?

Is the Political Department focusing all its skills on turning against its own people?

"Perhaps the security company has some special regulations."

Chen Jiaju scratched his head, that was the only interpretation he could come up with.

Li Jie looked at the security personnel who came on shift with a serious expression. He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he felt that there was something wrong with the group of security personnel in front of him.

Didi!

Just then, the pager suddenly went off.

Lu Ming picked it up and looked at it; his pupils contracted slightly.

"There's a robbery going on, the political commissars are dead, please save us!"

That one short sentence immediately startled him so much that he sat up straight.

"Something's happened up there."

He handed the pager to Chen Jiaju and Li Jie to look at.

"Ah Ming, you guessed right. Sure enough, someone was eyeing the jewelry exhibition. What were the political department doing? How could they let the bandits break through the defenses so easily?

Chen Jiaju was shocked and furious. He never expected that even with preparations, the Special Branch could still allow the bandits to break into the jewelry exhibition and kidnap the exhibitors.

"We must rescue them immediately."

Li Jie frowned.

"Let me call the director to report the situation."

Chen Jiaju took out his phone and made a call.

"Chief, Ah Ming was right. Someone really was targeting the jewelry exhibition. It seems something's happened up there. You need to dispatch officers immediately!"

"It seems like it? I don't want it to seem like it. I want 100% certainty. You need to be there on the spot to confirm whether this is true or not."

"Yes, sir."

The director hung up the phone with a dark line on his forehead, looked at Uncle Biao who was also sticking to his post, and said with a heavy heart, "Something might have happened at the jewelry exhibition."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Biao said, "We don't know if it's true or not right now, so we can't act rashly. We can call the Political Department, tell them the situation, and let them confirm whether it's true or not."

There are people from the political department stationed at the jewelry fair; you can call them to confirm quickly.

Moreover, both morally and logically, they should have informed the political department upon receiving intelligence to avoid offending anyone.

"You make a good point."

The director nodded and immediately called Peter Li, the head of the political department. Upon hearing this, Peter Li was shocked and quickly called Zhou Wenjian.

Ring ring~

At the jewelry exhibition, Zhou Wenjian's phone, which had been found during the search, suddenly rang.

Rabbit picked up the phone, glanced at it, and handed it to Zhou Wenjian with a smile. "Sir, it seems someone is looking for you. Answer it quickly."

Zhou Wenjian looked at the gun barrel pressed against his forehead, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly grabbed the phone to answer, "Hello, this is Zhou Wenjian—what attack? Everything is normal at the scene, the surveillance footage doesn't show any bandits breaking in, sir, you received false intelligence."

"Yes, yes, I will take strict precautions to ensure that no mistakes occur."

Seeing Zhou Wenjian's pragmatism, the rabbit nodded in satisfaction. "Sir, I'm growing to admire you more and more. Would you be interested in joining us to expand and strengthen our business?"

Forehead!

Zhou Wenjian gave an awkward laugh twice.
