I started getting dressed, and at the same time, I used Wang Xueyi's detection tool to detect a dense cluster of cell phone signals coming in, consisting of eight people.
I quickly scanned the building's layout again, and when Lu Qianning pulled me straight to the stairs, I instead pulled her to the laundry room.
"Why did you bring me here? They'll search us."
I didn't explain, I just picked her up and stuffed her into a small window.
Then I jumped down too.
This is where the staff brings in the bed sheets. They throw the sheets in and they drop them into the laundry room below for centralized washing.
We came down from the fourth floor, but thanks to my force field, we didn't fall very fast.
The laundry workers were surprised that someone would come down, but it was just a moment of astonishment.
I pulled Lu Qianning and ran outside, trying to quickly discern whether any of the glances we made were hostile.
Two! I saw two people reach for their guns.
They did draw their guns, but they weren't shooting at us; instead, they turned them on each other.
With two loud bangs, they shot each other.
"Whoa, ah!" Chaos erupted all around as everyone scrambled to find shelter.
Someone wanted to get off the bus, and just then a car drove by and crashed directly into the person's door.
The impact prevented the people behind them from getting off.
We hid among the scattered crowd and soon arrived at a small alley.
"Zheng Yang! Go back quickly, we can't let you get involved in this."
“If I leave now, I’ll get involved. If someone sees me, I can’t hide. Besides, you were in danger because you wanted to see me, how can I abandon you now?”
"But!"
"No buts, let's go!"
I pulled her into a taxi: "Besides Evelyn's, do you have anywhere else? Nobody knows."
Turn left at the intersection ahead!
After Lu Qianning finished speaking, the taxi driver drove off with blank stares.
After turning left and right, we arrived at an old-fashioned building. It was almost midnight.
“The last room on the fourth floor is mine,” Lu Qianning said as she got out of the car.
"Okay!" I agreed and was about to leave.
"Wait! Aren't you coming down?"
"I need to get rid of the driver; he's still under my hypnosis!"
Actually, the driver was driving for the first few minutes; after that, it was all driven by the force field I used.
"But if you go back, they will attack you."
I'd love for them to do that, so that I wouldn't be seen as an external force, but rather as someone who provoked me.
"Don't worry! Just wait here for my message, and turn your phone on."
Lu Qianning immediately gave me her phone number: "I know you're smart, you'll definitely remember it."
“I’ve got it! If I’m calling you, I’ll tap the phone three times before I speak, and you should tap it twice when you answer. Do the same when you call me in the future.”
"Um!"
I hooked my arm around Lu Qianning's neck, kissed her, and then drove away.
Lu Qianning looked worried and didn't go upstairs until the car was out of sight.
When we got back to where I got on the bus, I slipped the driver 500 yuan and got off. The driver was still asleep.
No matter when, I disable the nearby surveillance cameras.
When I walked back to the Montpellier Hotel, a group of people suddenly rushed up to me from all around.
Walcott was no longer as polite as before, and asked with a sullen face, "Mr. Zheng! Where have you been?"
I remained completely calm, and gave a cold laugh: "Do I need to report to you where I'm going? Who the hell do you think you are?"
"Fine! You won't talk, huh? Then don't blame me for taking action."
I checked the surveillance cameras around me; they should all be shut down.
"Are you so confident that they can handle me?"
Damn! If I used hypnosis, most of them would have to lie down, and they still think they can catch me?
"What? Are you some kind of expert?"
After Walcott finished speaking, everyone around him started drawing their guns.
"I am a citizen of the Great Xia."
"Ha..." Laughter erupted all around.
"What's wrong with you, people of Great Xia? All you do is protest and condemn?"
After Walcott finished speaking, there was another burst of laughter.
I laughed too: "You misunderstood me. You were talking about public officials in the Great Xia Dynasty. They have discipline, and the country has national policies. They cannot violate them, and they cannot take the initiative."
No, I am not only not a public official, but also a rather undisciplined person from Daxia.
When I said I was from the Great Xia, I meant the martial arts of the Great Xia!
"Nonsense! Go!"
People around me, guns in hand, slowly approached me. Suddenly, someone to my left rear raised their gun and fired.
I rolled on the ground, and one person's head exploded. Wokett was furious and yelled, "Who told you to shoot?"
It's too late to shout now, I've already started moving.
Suddenly, Walcott felt a figure flash by, and by the time he looked for me again, I was already behind him.
He then pulled out the knife from his body and held it to his neck.
"Call the police!"
"ah?"
"I told you to call the police!"
I tightened my grip, and Walcott quickly pulled out his phone. The people around us looked at each other, and I continued:
"If you want him dead, then shoot. Explain what happened."
The next sentence was addressed to Walcott.
When Walcott got through on the phone, he said:
“I need to call the police… We are at the Montpellier Hotel now… I sent people to surround Zheng Yang, but they were overpowered. Now Zheng Yang is telling me to call the police… There are sixteen of us in total, and we all have guns.”
The people around were stunned. How could he confess to everything? How afraid of death was he?
"Run!" someone shouted, and all of Walcott's henchmen took off running.
