"I say, how did that guy get into our group?"
"Who knows, I heard he was personally promoted by the old general."
"Psh! Because of connections? "
"What do you think? His resume is blank. I heard he went to the border to train and did a B-level mission, but it's probably just for experience … Look at him, how could he be promoted like that? If it wasn't for his strong background, he wouldn't even pass the first round. "The man lowered his voice and whispered to his partner.
Miao Jun, who was wearing a grey coat, leaned against the cement pillar and ignored the conversation aimed at him. The cigarette in his mouth only had a few sparks left, and his half-closed eyes looked like he was taking a nap.
Suddenly, the sparks on the cigarette seemed to come alive.
His half-closed eyes opened, and gray smoke puffed out from his nostrils.
There was the smell of blood …
Suddenly, a deafening explosion came from above the hotel. Gravel and wood chips flew everywhere, and flames and thick smoke came out of the window.
Everyone was stunned by the explosion that occurred in an instant.
No one thought that someone would be so daring to commit murder under the emperor's feet?!
However, in the short span of one second, the agents and guards on the scene immediately moved.
"This is General Staff Department 2 Team 4, Shangjing Hotel was attacked, requesting backup."
"We have confirmed the news, C Company has locked down the target area- buzz-"
The ear-piercing buzzing made the team leader in a suit painfully cover his ears and immediately turned off the Bluetooth headset.
"Communication blocked! Fu * k, why are you standing there, go confirm the safety of the foreign guest! "
"Yes, yes!"
Team 4 was a new team. Some of the team members were investigators from the military, and some were criminal investigation experts from the public security system. There was no lack of experts, but as elites, compared to the other teams that had been established for a long time, they had a fatal flaw, which was their ability to respond to crisis …
The team leader gritted his teeth and stood up straight. Someone forcefully connected to his Bluetooth headset. This was no longer a simple communication block, but a more technical communication hijacking.
Just as all the bodyguards ran upstairs, he suddenly noticed that the team member who didn't fit in with the group had disappeared.
…
How long has it been since he experienced this feeling?
It was a premonition of the chill of death that crept into his heart. It was a sense of danger that awakened at the same time as Berserk.
The strong wind blew away the thick smoke, and behind the nitrogen shield was a pair of gloomy faces.
Jiang Chen scanned the surroundings. The entire room was destroyed, and the only thing intact was the half of the bed he was sitting on.
In the bathroom, Xia Shiyu, who was curled up, slowly opened her eyes. After confirming the fact that she was still alive, she looked at the person who carried her in his arms.
Dressed in a black suit, with a delicate side profile, the person who had just carried her into the toilet at the corner of the hallway was her "love rival".
Ayesha.
At this moment, she could no longer think about why Ayesha suddenly appeared in Jiang Chen's room and why she saved her from the center of the explosion. Because what happened in front of her was too shocking, her train of thought temporarily stagnated. However, the unpleasant memories of being kidnapped in her home gradually surfaced in her mind …
She wanted to scream, but her lips opened and closed for a moment, but no sound came out.
Just a few seconds ago, when Jiang Chen stopped her, she opened the door, and behind the door was a man in a cleaning uniform.
He was holding a cardboard box in his hand. His harmless face made it impossible to associate him with danger, but the passion in his eyes made people shudder.
Without giving Xia Shiyu time to be alert, he tore open the seal of the cardboard box.
Almost at the same time, Ayesha, who noticed the situation was not good, immediately stopped the optical invisibility, carried Xia Shiyu by the waist, and rushed into the toilet at the corner of the hallway, avoiding the fire that instantly filled the entire room. Jiang Chen, who realized something was wrong, quickly took out the nitrogen shield from the storage dimension and blew away the shockwave of the explosion.
He threw the nitrogen shield into the storage dimension, stood up from the torn bed, and patted the dust off his shoulders. He heaved a sigh of relief as he looked at the entrance that was in a mess but did not see any bloodstains.
Fortunately, Ayesha didn't leave the room from beginning to end, or Xia Shiyu wouldn't have survived the explosion.
When he thought about the explosion almost hurting the people important to him, Jiang Chen was furious. He swore that no matter who initiated the attack, he would make that person pay.
"Ayesha."
"Yes."
"The person shouldn't be acting alone. There should be an accomplice nearby … Find him."
Jiang Chen didn't believe that a single person could sneak into the heavily protected hotel.
"Yes."
Ayesha gently placed Xia Shiyu on the ground and gave her a comforting smile. Then she activated optical invisibility and disappeared from the room.
Xia Shiyu stared at the incomprehensible scene in front of her as she murmured with dull eyes.
"Gone, gone …"
Jiang Chen knelt down beside Xia Shiyu and looked at her with a slightly apologetic look.
"I'm sorry that this happened to you … The person was obviously coming for me. You also saw that Future Group has a lot of enemies, and some of them even use extreme measures. If you're scared … "
Xia Shiyu, who regained her composure, shook her head and tried to be brave.
"Do you think I'm a coward?"
Jiang Chen paused for a moment, then laughed.
"Don't try to be brave. You're clearly scared."
Then, Jiang Chen reached out his right hand to her trembling body.
Xia Shiyu rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen, grabbed his hand roughly, and clumsily climbed up from the ground.
The alarm outside the window rang, and messy footsteps came from outside the door. Several bodyguards and special forces with pistols rushed into the room and coincidentally bumped into Jiang Chen and Xia Shiyu who just came out of the washroom.
After seeing the two, Cheng Hu, the leader of Group 4 of the General Staff Department, immediately squeezed in front of the two and anxiously looked at Jiang Chen.
"Are you okay?"
"As you can see, because we happened to be in the washroom, we survived."
When Xia Shiyu heard Jiang Chen's description, her cold face began to blush. His statement could easily lead to other misunderstandings. For example, what was the reason that the two "happened" to be in the washroom together?
But she was overthinking it. No one present thought that way at all.
A foreign guest suffered a suicide attack. If it happened internationally, it would be a huge scandal! At this moment, everyone's attention was drawn to the attack itself.
Cheng Hu took a deep breath, lowered his head, and said.
"I'm sorry to put you in such a dangerous situation. We will do everything possible to find the person behind this attack and give you an explanation! "
"That's for the best." Jiang Chen nodded expressionlessly.
The manager of the hotel arranged a new room for Jiang Chen and began to deal with the aftermath.
After leaving Jiang Chen's original room, Cheng Hu immediately ordered all the agents and guards to take action. They conducted a carpet search of the hotel and interrogated all the hotel staff separately. Just as he vowed to turn the entire hotel upside down, a black shadow quietly left the hotel.
At the same time, two pairs of eyes locked onto him.
