Chapter 440: No Thanks for the Great Favor
"I can't cry out pearls, but maybe I can cry out diamonds?" A dart knife as thin as a paper suddenly appeared in the girl's hand and stabbed towards Hu Xiaoxiao's hand.
At this moment, the girl's face no longer showed the sadness and helplessness from before. Her eyes were as fierce as a knife.
Hu Xiaoxiao loosened his grip and let go of the girl, but he had already raised his leg and kicked the girl hard.
The girl was extremely agile. She took a step back to avoid the attack and slashed and stabbed Hu Xiaoxiao with the dart knife. Her eyes never left the huge diamond necklace on Hu Xiaoxiao's body and the beautiful ring on his finger.
The girl was very cruel, but Hu Xiaoxiao was not a good person either. He was quick-eyed and quick-handed during the thrilling attack and defense in the narrow space. He went around behind the girl, grabbed a handful of her hair and pulled it hard.
"Hiss--" The girl felt so painful that she felt her scalp was about to be torn off. She took a step back involuntarily, then stabbed Hu Xiaoxiao with the dart knife in her hand.
But Hu Xiaoxiao reacted quickly. He raised his hand to avoid the dart knife and pulled the girl back by her hair.
The girl staggered and swung the dart knife back at the roots of her hair, cutting it off.
After standing still, the girl reached out and touched her beautiful blonde hair, and found that a large bunch of it was missing. She knew it looked ugly without even looking in the mirror.
"You're looking for death!" The girl was so angry that she hit Hu Xiaoxiao desperately.
"Alice!" Dave rushed over with two companions and saw the two women fighting fiercely.
Hu Xiaoxiao has sharp senses. When she first heard footsteps, she thought it was a police officer, but it turned out to be an accomplice of the thief. She noticed that the man was carrying a gun, so she kicked Alice away and left quickly.
Alice quickly shouted, "Dave! Catch her! She has the jewelry!"
Dave had already seen it, picked up his pistol and chased after them, deciding to shoot Hu Xiaoxiao first, and then let them take the jewelry away.
His two companions and Alice followed behind.
They were running very fast. Hu Xiaoxiao listened to their footsteps and quickened his pace, running faster than ever before. The people chasing him had guns.
Hu Xiaoxiao ran around a corner and passed by a potted plant in the corridor. He grabbed a few pieces of gravel that were covering the flowerpot.
The convention center was full of people, and it would be easy to escape in crowded places, but Hu Xiaoxiao was worried and didn't dare to go to crowded places, fearing that the thieves would become crazy and shoot indiscriminately.
The topographic map of the convention and exhibition center quickly flashed through Hu Xiaoxiao's mind. Although the decoration design of each floor of the convention and exhibition center is different, the locations of escape routes, elevators, and toilets are fixed, and the roads surrounding these places are well connected to facilitate the use of exhibitors.
Hearing the footsteps getting closer behind her, Hu Xiaoxiao turned and ran towards the less crowded escape passage. She caught a glimpse of the thief's figure behind her. She pulled out the rubber band tied in her hair, used the rubber band as a slingshot, and the stone as a projectile, turned around and shot at Dave who appeared at the front of the corridor.
Hu Xiaoxiao learned all the eighteen martial arts when he was studying martial arts at the TV station, and he even learned archery from a professional teacher when filming "Mu Guiying".
I had played with projectiles for a while, and they still felt good. A stone hit Dave's eye. He heard Dave's cry of pain, and the gun in his hand lost control and fired a shot.
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, echoing far away through the corridor.
Hu Xiaoxiao also took advantage of Dave's pause to increase the distance again. When he reached the escape passage, the fire door suddenly opened, and a pistol appeared first, pointing at Hu Xiaoxiao.
Hu Xiaoxiao's breath was choked, and the stone in his hand was about to be shot out -
"Xiaoxiao?" The man holding the gun turned out to be Steven. When he saw Hu Xiaoxiao in front of him, he immediately put down the gun and said, "I just heard a gunshot. Are you okay?"
Seeing Steven and the police officer behind him, Hu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, "You're finally here."
Steven came out of the command room, changed the plan, and personally led the team to guard the jewelry show. Just as he had the situation at the jewelry show under control, he heard that Hu Xiaoxiao was chased downstairs by a group of thieves, and immediately led his men down through the nearest escape route.
As soon as he reached this floor, gunshots rang out. Steven's heart suddenly tightened, and he almost fell down the stairs because his steps were so messy.
Hu Xiaoxiao pointed out the shooters and the location to Steven and said, "There were four of them, three men and one woman, all tough guys."
"Leave the rest to us." Steven pointed to two teams of his men with combat experience and asked them to split into several groups to encircle the enemy.
This group of thieves have guns in their hands and must be captured as soon as possible, otherwise if they run to the exhibition area or the show, the situation will be out of control.
If there are casualties in the exhibition center, it will be a huge scandal for this international jewelry exhibition.
Steven gave a series of orders into the intercom. He was more familiar with every floor of the convention center than Hu Xiaoxiao. From the direction Hu Xiaoxiao pointed, he knew roughly where Dave and his group were, where to encircle them, and how to capture them.
After the orders were issued, the people under him took quick action. Just in time, the Flying Tigers that Steven had requested arrived, and the situation was stabilized.
Taking advantage of this rare free time, Hu Xiaoxiao asked about Steven's situation, and Steven briefly told Hu Xiaoxiao what had happened.
He looked down at Hu Xiaoxiao with a complicated expression and said, "Thank goodness you helped me hold back those gangs of thieves, otherwise I wouldn't be able to take control of the situation so quickly. Xiaoxiao, thank you."
If Hu Xiaoxiao had not disregarded the danger and thrown himself into the situation to attract all the firepower, not only would he not have been able to take control of the situation so quickly, but many precious jewels would have been taken out of the convention center by thieves and escaped.
"What's our relationship? Why be so polite? I believe that if I encounter any problems, you will be the first to come forward to help." Hu Xiaoxiao said affirmatively and comforted Steven a few words.
Although Steven did not elaborate on the security out-of-control incident, she had been dealing with the Hong Kong government for so many years, so how could she not know Steven's difficulties?
Even though Steven currently holds a high position, the upper echelons of Baogang have always been dominated by foreigners, who are subject to their will in everything. These foreigners, in turn, look down on the people of Baogang, acting with arrogance and condescension. If Steven were to be in charge of security at this international jewelry exhibition, those foreigners might just come in and dictate things. Furthermore, this jewelry exhibition has been targeted by major international thieves, who are behind the scenes, using countless bribes. Hu Xiaoxiao has no idea how many people are involved in today's events.
After hearing Hu Xiaoxiao's words of comfort, Steven smiled softly, and his originally tightly knitted brows relaxed a lot. He stretched out his palm and said, "I don't need to thank you for your kindness."
"Then treat me to a meal!" Hu Xiaoxiao stretched out his hand and shook his hand, saying with a smile.
However, before he could even laugh for a second, Hu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought, "Oh no! The jewelry show has already started!"
