The reason why the person in the elevator car was said to be a professional woman was because of the strong impression her clothing gave. She wore a light gray slim-fit short suit and straight pants of the same color. She wore a slightly conservative black high heel. Every detail indicated her identity.
The only thing that stood out was probably the silver-gray metal case she carried in her right hand.
However, compared to her clothing, that extremely sculpted face was perhaps the best match. The calmer she was, the more a chill naturally seeped through. It made people feel that she should have an extremely serious and serious personality.
It was precisely this first impression, perhaps in addition to her tall and slender figure, that effectively strengthened her aura. Furthermore, there was a dense mass of people outside the elevator. She was alone, yet she didn't make any unnecessary subconscious movements. She stood steadily in the car and didn't even have the intention of walking out. She only used her bright and sharp eyes to sweep across everyone's faces.
"Wow, a hardcore!" As an assault bassist, Huang Xiangdong immediately felt that this was a rarely seen and challenging type. He subconsciously sighed.
However, as soon as he spoke, he discovered that his voice was unusually loud. In fact, the ambient noise had suddenly been lowered, vividly setting off his idiotic moment.
Huang Xiangdong hurriedly shut his mouth. As his voice faded away and lacked a follow-up, some kind of silent power surged out like a formless dark cloud, instantly covering the entire elevator. In that instant, the whispers that even Director Wu couldn't avoid after coming over were completely erased.
Director Wu, who was standing at the very front, was a little stupefied.
Silence made people even more sensitive. In this strange silence, he suddenly discovered that there was a problem with his own reaction. He didn't know when, but he had turned his face to avoid the professional woman's gaze. Also, his body had moved to the side.
He was an executive of Mingtang Culture. The 56th floor was his company's exclusive floor. He was undoubtedly the head of this place... But what he felt right now was like two years ago, when he had welcomed Madame Halder from the Castle Financial Group. That cold capital tycoon, facing a group of overly enthusiastic and noisy company executives, had used only his eyes to shut everyone up.
What the hell am I thinking?
Director Wu suddenly snapped out of his daze. He felt that his current reaction was mysteriously awkward. Actually, I'm abiding by the rules of "ladies first" and "first down, first up", right? Right?
He subconsciously shot a glance at He Donglou. This young man was still blocking the entrance of the elevator. He looked even calmer. But what was with the abrupt interruption just now and the shrinking of his shoulders and chest now?
Inside the elevator, the professional woman's gaze also fell on He Donglou's body … but also somewhat deviated.
Before he could figure out where the focal point was, he heard an electronic beep. It was the beep of a different elevator, followed by a "bang".
Old Si, who had been silently standing at He Donglou's side, first lowered his head to look at his wristband. Immediately after, his figure reflexively straightened. He forcefully pressed his legs together, and his heels touched.
"Reserve Lieutenant Si Guosheng of the Seventh Coastal Special Warfare Brigade."
The short and forceful sound of the army broke through the pressure of silence, yet it also completely changed the nature of this place. However, the people involved felt that it was only natural.
"Second Air Space Special Warfare Brigade reserve officer He Yueyin."
As a professional woman, He Yueyin, she didn't need to change her posture. Her posture was the most standard. She looked at Si Guosheng and replied simply, "Please return to the team."
Old Si shouted, "Yes!" and immediately raised his hand in salute. Soon after, he walked into the elevator with large strides. He arrived at the elevator control panel in front of He Yueyin and stood still. He crossed his legs and rested for a moment, like a door god.
Only now did he slightly nod towards He Donglou. Then, he completely restored his cold and hard military demeanor.
His own bodyguard had been pulled away with a beep?
Did he think this was a swipe of a card?
He Donglou had roamed the world of hedonists for twenty years, yet he had never seen or even thought of such a situation. He stood there in a daze. He didn't respond to Old Si's signal.
However, he didn't remain in a daze for long. The continuous changes finally broke the nearly frozen atmosphere in the surroundings. A slight commotion began outside the elevator. Since up until now, it didn't have much to do with them, the surrounding people couldn't help but paint all sorts of colors in their eyes. They used different angles to observe or exchanged their own thoughts with their companions.
Whispers rang out again. He Donglou stood at the very front, his back facing everything. He truly experienced what it meant to feel like there was a blade on one's back. If today's matter were to spread out, He Donglou would achieve the achievement of being a "ten-thousand-year laughingstock" in social circles in minutes!
Really motherf * cker. Motherf * cker …...
Awkward and absurd emotions finally took form and rapidly gushed out. He faced one of the most fearful gazes in his life and roared involuntarily:
"Sis, what are you doing!?"
He Yueyin didn't pay any attention to him. Her gaze shifted once more, piercing into the crowd outside.
With He Donglou, the sacrificial victim, in front of her, no one dared to look her in the eye. Most people even learned from Director Wu, moving sideways one after another to avoid the frontal assault. They unconsciously opened up a passageway leading outside.
The problem was that He Yueyin didn't seem to have any intention of coming out. She just stared at the fixed target behind the crowd until their gazes met.
He Donglou felt like he was about to explode. What was hateful was that even so, he was like a marionette. He involuntarily followed He Yueyin's gaze and looked behind her. Then he saw a young, wooden face.
I …... F * ck!
Frankly speaking, Luo Nan was a bit stupefied when he saw He Yueyin appear in the elevator. But then the other side directly recruited Old Si. Outsiders were muddle-headed, but he, Cat Eyes, and Gao De, who were directly involved, had clear minds.
The situation had escalated, and it was extremely serious. Otherwise, with the resources of the Society, how could they possibly find external help at the last minute? So when He Yueyin cast her gaze over, Luo Nan instantly understood her intentions:
It was time to get down to business.
Luo Nan should have responded, but the moment the situation came to a head, he felt the blood squeezed out of his heart. It was as if it carried an electric current, so much so that his body was paralyzed.
Correspondingly, countless electrical signals and chemical signals were transmitted and changed within the neural network. When these complex and subtle stimuli were integrated, they formed a relatively clear emotional color. Among them, the majority were actually restlessness and resistance.
So Luo Nan didn't achieve an instant reaction like Old Si. Instead, he maintained his silence. Cat Eyes and Gao De seemed to be a bit surprised by this. They both turned their gazes over.
Luo Nan's facial expression didn't show, but the more gazes focused on him, the more intense the agitation in his heart became. This is embarrassing …... What are you afraid of!? Is there something here that you're afraid of?
Actually, there wasn't. If there was something, it wouldn't be any substance. It would be some sort of metaphysical thing.
Luo Nan's attention shifted slightly to where Mo Ya was. Even without using his eyes to observe, he knew that his older sister was observing He Yueyin. She was quite interested, following He Yueyin's line of sight in search of the next explosive target.
She treated herself as a spectator, but she didn't know that there was a close relationship between the newcomer and her cousin.
Originally, the two circles didn't intersect. Or it could be said that Luo Nan had always been careful to maintain the distance between the two circles. But at this moment, because of this sudden incident, the inner world and the original social circle came into direct contact, silently intersecting. Only then did Luo Nan suddenly discover that there clearly existed some sort of irreconcilable conflict between the two.
This conflict was precisely the source of Luo Nan's fear.
There should be a deeper meaning to this, but Luo Nan was unable to make sense of it in a short amount of time. He only knew that he had to make a choice. It wasn't up to his heart. He had to consider many, many things …...
Since this was the case, the answer was actually placed right before his eyes.
Perhaps the moment He Yueyin opened her mouth was the beginning of the collapse of the rhythm of life that he worked so hard to maintain. Luo Nan couldn't refuse, but he also wasn't willing to take the initiative to break it. He could only listen to the arrangements of fate.
Outside the elevator door, He Donglou had enough of this treatment of being completely ignored. He turned his face to face He Yueyin. He was so angry that his hands were already trembling a bit: "You really think of yourself as a secretary. I'm your little brother … …"
"Excuse me."
"Huh?"
He Yueyin's eyelids were slightly drooping in the elevator car. She temporarily cut off the gaze that had a clear direction. When she opened her eyes again, she walked straight outside, pushing aside a close blood relative who was blocking her way. Old Si followed in silence.
He Donglou staggered outside, and the people behind him split open like waves, causing the already faintly forming passageway to become even wider. As for the end of the passageway, it was still a bit blocked … … Luo Nan was right there.
He Yueyin walked past Director Wu's position in two steps. Her feet didn't stop as she quickly gave instructions: "The Security Bureau is working. Send two people from your company to follow. If there's anything you need, please cooperate."
Damn! I finally understand what's going on!
Director Wu still had a bit of doubt in his heart, but Young Master He had called her sister twice. Even if he had doubts, he had to suppress them. He faced He Yueyin's back and said, "Okay." Then he was a bit hesitant:
Who should I leave?
Director Sha had a flash of inspiration at this time. He volunteered once more: "Director, I'll bring someone with me."
"...... That's fine. Talk less and do more. Keep in touch at all times."
Director Wu's head was swollen from the series of matters. He also knew that this matter was related to the Security Bureau and that it was best not to blindly meddle with it. He was disinclined to think too much, so he agreed to Director Sha's suggestion.
"Then, Little Luo, follow me." Director Sha's gaze drifted over to Luo Nan as he spoke. He saw that Luo Nan's reaction was calm, and he knew that he had gambled correctly. He clenched his fist in secret.
He Yueyin just happened to brush past Luo Nan at this time. Gao De reacted quickly: "I'm the building's property manager … …"
"Follow me."
He Yueyin nodded imperceptibly as she spoke. In fact, she was pointing at Luo Nan. Luo Nan let out a sigh of relief. He even had the time to give Mo Ya a reassuring gesture before turning around to follow.
Right after he turned around, his face inexplicably heated up.
He Yueyin led the group of people through the safety passageway very quickly, disappearing from everyone else's line of sight.
Most of the people in the elevator were still in a daze. Cat Eyes leaned against the door frame and scratched her chin: "Hey hey. The reasons are so abundant. What should I do?"
