The video was cut off.
Huo Yunchao could no longer see Dai Dai's condition; his eyes were bloodshot. He held up the gift box in his hand and said, "There's only one item worth ten billion. With so many of you here, to whom should it belong?"
"Don't listen to his nonsense." This voice came from Hua Se.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a gunshot rang out.

Xue Qiandai was locked in an empty room.
Ding Yong cracked his knuckles and approached her step by step. His eyes were filled with malice. "Miss Hua Se said that the video is over, and now you're mine. The First Socialite, such a delicate and beautiful woman!"
After Rong Xiao was blindfolded and bandaged, he stood in front of Xue Qiandai and said, "Are you blind? I'm the most beautiful. Go ahead and try to act tough!"
Ding Yong wiped his mouth. "It's fun with the two of them together, isn't it?"
Xue Qiandai suddenly raised her voice, her breath coming in short gasps, making her voice high-pitched and unsteady, "A diamond worth ten billion, aren't you all tempted? How much did they give you? Five million, five hundred thousand, or fifty thousand? The drag queen, how much did you get?"
There are still four people watching them in this space.
The drag queen hadn't expected her to utter such a remark at this crucial moment. He twisted his neck, making a sharp cracking sound.
Ding Yong shouted, "Don't listen to her, this woman is kind-hearted."
Xue Qiandai sneered: "Do you even know your employer? She would even scheme against her best friend, let alone someone like you who runs errands and does hard labor..."
Ding Yong rushed forward, wanting to settle a personal score. The drag queen, however, stopped him.
"Let her finish speaking."
“My boyfriend is so kind that even Jack Ma calls him ‘the most gentle and refined gentleman, a humble and scholarly businessman.’ He is loyal and righteous, and he can afford to spend a billion dollars. You protect me and he will be grateful to you. He will give you whatever you need.”
The group of people looked at each other in bewilderment.
Then, they heard gunshots.
Xue Qiandai was startled, her scalp suddenly tingling. She remained calm and said, "Look, people will die for money. They're fighting tooth and nail."
The drag queen and the others were stunned when, in the blink of an eye, two policemen rushed in with guns drawn. "Hands up, put down your weapons and we'll treat you leniently!"
In movies, the police are always late, but at least they arrive. It's just that Huo Meiren…

The moment the gun fired, Huo Yunchao threw the gift box in his hand.
It's not facing out the window, but rather in the center of the space.
At the same time, he grabbed a chair from the hall and held it over his head and chest.
Sure enough, someone drew a gun and shot at their companion, who was caught off guard as the gift box fell from mid-air.
In the midst of the crisis, the scene became somewhat chaotic, and two more people were hit by bullets, one in the knee and the other in the stomach.
"Don't fall for the trap, everyone! The plane is almost here. We'll divide the spoils once we're on board," Gao Ruhai shouted. And indeed, the sound of a helicopter could be heard outside.
The person holding the gift box retreated to a corner of the living room, pointing a gun at Hua Se, Gao Ruhai, and someone behind them. "You all get out, or don't blame me for being impolite."
In the end, they still ended up killing each other.
However, no one could have the last laugh, because the police loudspeakers announced: "Listen up, kidnappers, you are surrounded. No one can escape. Lay down your weapons and try to get leniency."
Seven or eight police officers, armed with guns, stormed into the hall. Leading them was Zheng Fang. "Listen up," he said, "your men have all been taken down, and the plane can't be forced to land. Surrender is the only option. Don't put up any more resistance."
Huo Yunchao moved the stool away a little. Although the blood flowing from his head was frightening, the fact that the police dared to make a sound at this moment meant that Dai Dai and the others were safe.
A hint of resentment flashed in Hua Se's eyes, but she hadn't given up yet. The hall was large, and Huo Yunchao was closer to them.
"By kidnapping Huo Yunchao, everyone can get out safely."
The man holding the gift box raised his gun, aiming it at Huo Yunchao. Huo Yunchao suddenly threw a stool, blocking the bullet, and rolled to the ground. Zheng Fang raised his gun and brought it down, but his attack was even more ruthless, knocking the gun from the kidnapper's hand.
At the same time that the two shots were fired, someone else fired a shot. This shot was not aimed at the police or Huo Yunchao, but pierced through Hua Se's chest and came out from behind.
The three gunshots rang out together.
Hua Se turned around in disbelief, her pupils dilating rapidly.
She remembered what her father had said when she visited him: "You can only ask that person for help once."
She didn't listen. Some of her subordinates today were Gao Ruhai's men, and some were borrowed from that man by her. She borrowed them by threatening him with evidence, but in the end, it led to her death.
"You..." Her body went limp and she touched her belly. "Little Sese, Mommy is sorry."
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Gao Ruhai gave up resistance.
Only the person who had been holding the box earlier, with an injured wrist, tightly clutched the box with his other hand, saying, "Let me go, or this box will be destroyed, and Mr. Huo's ten billion yuan will vanish into thin air."
At this moment, Zheng Fang had already walked up to Huo Yunchao and helped him up.
"Open it and take a look, there's a billion yuan." Huo Yunchao was extremely weak and barely had the strength to speak.
The man reopened the door, and the diamond necklace was intact, still radiating its dazzling light. But wait, he reached for it, only to find a piece of paper.
The diamond necklace was drawn on paper, a realistic 3D painting. Enraged, the man slammed the box to the ground, letting out a deafening roar.
The kidnapping was now over. Huo Yunchao asked weakly, "Where's Dai Dai?"
Zheng Fang supported him: "He's been rescued, get him to the hospital immediately. President Huo, you've done a great service by saving someone with just a painting."
Huo Yunchao didn't care about any credit; he only closed his eyes after hearing that Dai Dai was safe and sound. "Then I can go to sleep."
