Jimena didn't say anything. As she tidied herself up, she wondered if someone had come upstairs.
If someone found out that she and Luke were messing around, her internship would be ruined, and the school might even punish her for it.
Therefore, her movements were extremely fast.
Luke also began to straighten his clothes.
Thankfully, he was wearing sportswear. With his 20 points of dexterity, he was able to put on his clothes and shoes in less than ten seconds.
Then, he dragged Jimena, who was still tidying herself up, away and whispered in her ear, "There's gunfire downstairs, and quite a few of them. I think something's wrong."
Jimena, who was in Luke's arms, wanted to cry out in surprise, but Luke was already prepared. He covered her mouth.
Luke continued, "Which part of this building has a lot of rooms and stuff that nobody goes to?"
Jimena licked his hand. Only then did Luke realize that he was still covering her mouth. He quickly let go.
Jimena glared at him and said in a low voice, "There's an office of a big company on the 21st floor. There are two to three hundred clerks working there all the time. Do you think that's okay?"
Luke nodded. "I'll send you there to hide. Don't come out for the time being. I'll come and find you when the crisis is over. But before I come back, don't run around. "
Jimena nodded obediently.
Luke grabbed a bottle of water from a nearby cabinet and gave it to her. "Drink a little if you're nervous. Don't drink too much, or you'll need to use the bathroom."
Jimena's blushing face turned even redder. She rolled her eyes at him. Why would she need to use the bathroom in her current condition?
Luke was much more comfortable.
The new knowledge that Jimena had gained from reading the study materials in the university was quite good.
Luke led Jimena to the emergency staircase. Looking at her high heels, he couldn't help but shake his head.
These high heels would make a lot of noise when they walked down the stairs. They would definitely be noticed.
Luke bent down slightly and gestured for Jimena to come up.
When the young and energetic body was on his back, Luke said in a low voice, "Don't make a sound." He then ran down with her on his back.
Jimena looked down at the stairs and the walls of the stairwell, and she almost screamed.
She quickly lowered her head and closed her eyes, but she simply hugged Luke tightly.
Like the wind, Luke was as light as a feather even with Jimena on his back. In less than three minutes, he reached the 21st floor.
They entered through the security door and found that it was pitch-black inside.
Luke's vision was better than that of an ordinary person's. Thanks to the faint light outside the building, he realized that this was indeed a white-collar office. Hundreds of white-collar desks were densely packed together, and computers, files, and miscellaneous items were everywhere. It was indeed a good place to hide.
That was because whoever wanted to search here would have to search one by one, burying their heads in the cubicles.
With Jimena in his arms, Luke quickly entered and found a place to put Jimena down. He reminded her, "Remember, don't move or make a sound. Wait for me to come back." After saying that, he turned to leave.
Jimena pulled him back. "Are you forgetting something?"
Luke: ⊙ _ ⊙?
Jimena grabbed his hand and pressed it firmly against her chest. "If you still miss it, you must be careful. Don't take risks!"
Luke took the advice and tightened his grip before he chuckled. "I swear. I'm a professional. Right, I still have more than half of the security measures I brought with me tonight. "
Jimena smiled and hugged him. "Go."
Luke nodded and quickly left.
If his ears weren't deceiving him, the gunshots had come from the 30th floor.
Considering the size of the building, it would take at least a few hundred people to control it.
Jimena's place was safe for now. The criminals hadn't taken control of the place yet, or rather, didn't need to.
When Luke came up, the receptionist had said that only the company where Jimena was interning was having a party today. The other companies were all on holiday.
Nakatomi Corporation was on the 30th floor.
Luke didn't think that the criminals would set up a perimeter on the 21st floor unless there was something wrong with their heads. It would be too easy to take them down one by one.
At that moment, he didn't call the police immediately.
At most, the police would surround the criminals. It wouldn't make much of a difference if they called the police earlier or later.
He wanted to figure out what the criminals were up to, as well as their weapons. That way, he would be able to pass on more information.
When he returned to the 30th floor, Luke frowned.
He smelled it. There was an armed criminal standing by the security door.
It had to be a criminal. All the companies in Nakatomi Plaza were on holiday, and the security guards were on the ground floor.
Luke didn't go in. He simply closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
When he passed by the party just now, he had noticed the number of people. There were about fifty of them.
There were almost eighty people inside, which meant that there were at least thirty criminals here.
Also, some of the criminals might be on duty on the ground floor, or they would be even more foolish if they didn't know they were surrounded.
When he came down from the 34th floor, he heard noises on the 33rd floor, as if someone was moving something. There were even more of them.
By conservative estimates, there were at least forty of them.
Thinking for a moment, Luke returned to the 34th floor.
After confirming the number of criminals, Luke felt that he should clean up the "battlefield" between him and Jimena first.
This was definitely a major case. It would be awkward if the forensics department came to investigate and asked why Luke's thing had appeared at the crime scene. It was better to take the two security measures that he had thrown into the trash can with him.
Very soon, Luke, who was back on the 34th floor, smelled something familiar.
He was stunned. Was that … John McClane? Was he here?
Thinking for a moment, Luke didn't disturb him. After all, he was here to take care of his personal matters.
He didn't even need to look to know that the man was hiding in a corner of the conference room and watching the situation in the office with his back to Luke.
Without making a sound, Luke quickly took away the trash can along with the bucket.
A moment later, Luke returned. The trash can was no longer in his hands, and there was only a plastic bag with the two security measures that had been used.
Only then was Luke relieved.
But looking at the table where he and Jimena had slept, he could only shake his head.
It was covered in sweat. He could only ignore it. If they found out, he could just say that they had kissed here.
Suddenly, Luke's ears twitched.
"Give me the password." It was a mellow baritone.
"It's useless even if you give me the password. At seven every morning, the data from the headquarters will be synchronized, and the data here will be restored," said the old man.
