Gong Chengjue, holding Su Ziqing's hand, said sternly, "Leave now."
"But……"
"No buts, it must be a terrorist attack." Gong Chengjue held her hand tightly. The power had been completely cut off, and the sounds in the room were chaotic.
Because it was inside the venue, the situation was even more chaotic at this moment.
People were bumping into each other; everyone wanted to leave.
Fortunately, the gunshots only lasted for a moment and have now completely stopped.
It was all in the dark, and nobody knew who was who. Almost all the female guests at the banquet were wearing high heels, and we kept hearing people say, "I twisted my ankle."
When faced with the prospect of escape, all sense of pride becomes superfluous; everyone is eager to flee this place.
Su Ziqing felt something step on her foot, and cried out in pain.
"What's wrong?" Gong Chengjue asked worriedly when he heard her unusual behavior.
"It's nothing, someone just stepped on my foot." He held her hand tightly, as if afraid she would get lost.
"Bang." Unexpectedly, another gunshot rang out.
The screams were almost deafening. No matter how calm Su Ziqing and the others were, it was no use, because the others were not calm.
"Squat down," Gong Chengjue said loudly.
After hearing the gunshots ring out again, no one dared to push their way out. It was pitch black here, and they couldn't see anything. Perhaps it was safer to go outside.
But if you go outside, who knows if you'll become a target?
The people here are all of high status, but the higher their status, the more likely they are to become targets.
Su Ziqing's instep was stepped on again by the person in front of her, and because of the high heels, she felt as if a sharp nail had pierced her foot.
"Help! Help!" Such panicked cries kept coming from ahead, and she couldn't even scold them.
The scene was chaotic for a long time, and Su Ziqing's hand was held by Gong Chengjue the whole time, and he never let go.
After being in the dark for a while, Gong Chengjue's vision became clear. Looking at Su Ziqing in front of him, she didn't scream at all, nor did she tremble like the others. She was so calm that she didn't seem like a girl.
Is he scared out of his wits?
He called her name.
Su Ziqing turned around when she heard his shout. "Hmm?" She had been trying to hear the sounds outside, but it was too noisy and she couldn't hear anything.
The helicopters have already arrived, the police force has been there for a while, and there's also the military...
Gong Chengjue looked into her bright eyes and shook his head. "It's nothing."
She wasn't scared out of her wits; she wasn't afraid at all.
Su Ziqing forced a smile, "Don't be afraid, we should have the situation under control by now."
Gong Chengjue: "..." What was he afraid of?
He should be the one saying that to her, okay?
Can't you at least consider his dignity as a man?
Seeing that he didn't react, Su Ziqing tried her best to reassure him, "We're still safe in the middle of the crowd..."
"I'm not afraid." To prevent her from saying anything more, Gong Chengjue interrupted her.
"Oh, that's good." Su Ziqing remained silent.
I don't know how much time passed, maybe ten minutes, maybe longer, but finally I heard someone coming to evacuate the crowd.
It seems the situation is indeed under control.
With only the emergency lights providing a meager illumination, the guests inside seemed to have regained their composure, each gracefully making their way outside.
However, his slightly hurried steps were still noticeable, and everyone was startled.
"Hiss~" Su Ziqing took a few steps and couldn't help but gasp in pain.
Gong Chengjue immediately asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
"My feet were just stepped on by high heels a few times." I don't know why they hurt so much right now.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" He picked her up in his arms.
"No……"
"Don't be stubborn." He directly cut off her potential refusal.
What used to be an open space outside now has a crater left from an explosion.
It really was a terrorist attack...
They came out relatively late and didn't see any wounded or anything. If it weren't for everyone's disheveled state and the crater in front of them, it would seem that the attack was just a dream.
"Ziqing." Feng Xixuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Su Ziqing, but when he saw her being held by Gong Chengjue, his heart jumped again.
"Where are you hurt?" As soon as he finished speaking, his reproachful gaze swept over Gong Chengjue without any attempt to hide it.
"I was trampled a few times by the chaotic crowd, but I'm fine." Su Ziqing struggled to get off Gong Chengjue. "Don't worry, senior brother."
Feng Xixuan looked at her, then at her feet.
Her feet were already bluish-purple.
Without giving her a chance to refuse, he picked her up and said, "A girl's feet are her second face. How can you be so indifferent to them?"
Then, completely ignoring Gong Chengjue's presence, he picked her up and walked outside...
Su Ziqing: "..."
Gong Chengjue: "..." He swore that from birth until now, there were very few people who dared to openly slap him in the face, and even fewer who would slap him several times in one day!
Now, this person has appeared.
"Senior brother, I'm really fine." Don't be so high-profile, okay? She's already seen the way people are looking at her.
After all, she and Gong Chengjue had previously made a high-profile appearance in public.
And now she...
Will others think she's flirting with other men?
Gong Chengjue followed behind them with a dark and gloomy expression.
"Don't talk." Feng Xixuan carried her to the car, his face very serious. "Go to the hospital first."
Su Ziqing was taken aback. "Senior brother?" What does that mean? Isn't he going?
No, she doesn't need to go to the hospital at all. Just some medicine applied to her skin will do.
But then Feng Xixuan turned around and said to Gong Chengjue, "Take her to the hospital."
Gong Chengjue: "..."
"Senior brother, where are you going?" Although the danger has passed, it is still very unsafe to stay here.
What if something unexpected happens?
Feng Xixuan simply waved her hand, "Listen to me, contact me by phone." Then she disappeared into the crowd.
"Senior brother." Su Ziqing wanted to get out of the car, but Gong Chengjue got in at that moment. "To the hospital."
"Gong Chengjue, put me down." Su Ziqing felt she couldn't just leave Feng Xixuan here.
"What your senior brother means." Gong Chengjue didn't know what Feng Xixuan was staying for, but at this moment he was indeed more concerned about Su Ziqing's feet.
Her feet were covered in bruises and were now somewhat swollen.
“You don’t understand…” Su Ziqing didn’t know how to explain. She grabbed Gong Chengjue’s hand and said, “Chengjue, send someone to follow our senior brother.”
“With your senior brother’s skills, none of my bodyguards should be able to keep up with him,” he said, looking into her eyes.
Su Ziqing remained calm upon hearing this.
"Ziqing, who is your senior brother?" Gong Chengjue finally asked.
