Chapter 115 Everyone is here
The equipment room in the backstage area houses all the lighting and sound system controls for the venue, as well as the stage's lifting and lowering controls.
At this moment, several equipment engineers from various foreign countries are methodically carrying out the final adjustments.
Seeing two familiar faces, the equipment engineers were somewhat surprised but not on guard.
I casually asked, "What brings you all here? The show's about to start, Mr. Cormier's going to get angry if he can't find you."
One of the blond, blue-eyed men showed a hint of unease, then forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, we're just here to take a look."
He gripped the hem of his shirt with slightly trembling hands and exchanged a glance with his companion.
After a while, when no one was paying attention, he slowly reached for a tangled mess of wires...
The stage equipment technician, a blond-haired Englishman, stretched after a round of adjustments.
He muttered to himself, "Thanks to Mr. Cormier's perfectionist obsession, I haven't slept well for two days."
"Mr. Cormier was scolded by Nan Ke's sister the other day, and his obsessive-compulsive disorder has improved a lot. It's your own fault for not sleeping."
The blond-haired youth chuckled: "You guessed right."
As he spoke, he glanced around as if he had noticed something, and blurted out, "What are you doing?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several pairs of eyes turned to look at him.
At the same time, the door to the equipment room was suddenly pushed open with a "bang"!
Three bodyguards strode over quickly!
His gaze swept around, then immediately locked onto the two blond, blue-eyed violinists, and he shouted:
"Hey, you two!"
Beside the control room, the two men's expressions showed visibly terrified expressions. Following their gaze, one could see their hands touching dozens of tangled wires, and between their knuckles, a sharp blade was clearly visible!
Someone realized what was happening.
"They're trying to cut the main switch! Stop them!"
Seeing a group of people rushing over, the two panicked, immediately stood up, and turned to rush towards the small door on the left side of the equipment room!
The bodyguard immediately chased after them!
The remaining engineers were immediately trained and divided the work: they contacted Cormier, checked the wiring, and readjusted it.
While adjusting the equipment, he cursed, "This is absolutely impossible to defend against! With this one cut, the stage dropped three meters on the spot! It happened right when the audience was entering. If anything goes wrong, Mr. Cormier will never be able to apply for a concert in China again!"
"Not only that, all of us have to cooperate with the investigation tonight!"
Just talking about it sends chills down everyone's spine.
"Are they both crazy? They've been with Mr. Cormier for years, and now they're acting like lunatics!"
There were still fifteen minutes until the start of the show, and the first program was a solo by Cormier.
Inside the venue, Cormier was preparing to go on stage when he heard the message coming through his earpiece. He was so angry that he laughed on the spot.
The foot that had been stepped out was immediately pulled back.
They managed to defend against the outside, but not the inside!
Cormier was so angry he was about to punch it, but remembering the performance was about to start, he quickly pulled back and grabbed the curtain tightly!
"They dared to mess with me! Arrest them!"
Nan Ke and several other guest performers exchanged glances upon hearing the commotion and immediately gathered around.
In the audience, Xu Chi stared at the abnormally swaying curtain for a while, and then suddenly stood up.
On the other side, Tu Yao had already run to the very center of the lobby on the first floor.
She looked up to observe.
The back door of the equipment room is connected to several floors of the lobby. If those two are lucky enough not to be caught, they will definitely run to these floors.
really!
Soon, the two people who had just been there escaped in a disheveled state through the small door on the second floor!
Then they tacitly separated and fled!
The entire concert hall has a circular structure with five floors from bottom to top, and each floor has ten doors.
Thanks to Tu Yao, Cormier had arranged for tall, well-trained bodyguards on almost every floor, who were rushing over from all directions after receiving the notification.
However, the concert hall was too large, with interconnected passageways and several direct staircases leading up and down the floors.
Furthermore, because the one-way glass railings on each floor are too high, there are blind spots between each floor.
The two were also familiar with the structure of the concert and hid among the different floors, making it somewhat difficult to catch them for a while.
Tu Yao thought for a moment, then randomly found a bodyguard and asked for his walkie-talkie.
Looking left and right again, I ran up to the top floor and randomly found a lounge.
A few seconds later, he dragged out a tall stool, climbed up, and looked down at all the floors!
When Tu Chaoxi brought Lin Yue over, she saw that her sister was not only standing on the top floor of the concert hall, but also standing on a high chair.
Two muscular bodyguards stood guard beside her, while Tu Yao confidently gave orders over a walkie-talkie!
"Left! Close the door on the left!"
"They're going to Gate 7 on the third floor! Guys at Gate 8 on the third floor, get ready!"
"Turn around! Heading back to Gate 2! Gate 1, get ready!"
"They're running to the first floor! First floor, quickly surround them! Catch them!"
"Yes! That's it! We've caught one! Keep it up! Let's get to the second one!"
He was giving instructions, cheering people on, and jumping around on his chair, making the chair and himself sway from side to side.
Tu Chaoxi's vision went black!
Lin Yue's eyes were filled with complex emotions: "Brother..."
Shh! Don't speak!
Tu Chaoxi pressed the elevator button and went up to the top floor, tiptoeing up the stairs.
After signaling to the two bodyguards, I quickly grabbed her and brought her back while she wasn't paying attention!
"Hey!!!! Who! Who ambushed me?!"
Tu Yao immediately turned around and met her brother's dark face.
The girl who was giving orders loudly just a second ago suddenly fell silent the next.
She blinked and smiled sheepishly.
"...Brother, you're here."
He subconsciously looked down and waved to Lin Yue on the first floor: "...Hello, bro!"
Lin Yue: ...
Tu Chaoxi coldly put the person on the ground, wanting to beat them up, but really couldn't bring herself to do it.
In that brief moment of reluctance, Tu Yao's eyes darted around, and she saw Xu Chi suddenly emerge from the concert hall.
She waved her hand quickly!
One of the bodyguards took over Tu Yao's position and continued to give orders.
Just then, the violinist who was still running away ran back to the first floor!
He looked flustered and clearly wanted to run into the venue from backstage!
He was only ten meters away from Xu Chi!
Tu Yao's expression tightened, and she immediately shouted, "Xiao Chi! Watch out!"
She shouted as she rushed downstairs!
Xu Chi frowned slightly. Instead of avoiding it, he took two steps back and firmly locked the door leading to the venue.
Then, looking at the man running towards him, his eyes sharpened in an instant as the man approached, and he suddenly stretched out his right hand, precisely wrapping it around the man's throat!
At the same time, I pressed my left arm firmly against the back of his head.
Just as the blond, blue-eyed man's eyes began to glaze over, clearly on the verge of losing consciousness, Xu Chi swiftly released his grip, striking the man's neck with his elbow.
At that moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall. Xu Chi glanced at them out of the corner of his eye and saw two bodyguards wearing clan badges, clearly clearing the way for the people behind them.
Xu Chi immediately threw the man forward. The two reacted in less than a second, almost as a conditioned reflex, kicking him in the knee joint!
The back of the head, neck, and joints are the parts that can quickly dislodge an opponent.
At this point, the man collapsed to the ground!
Tu Yao and Tu Chaoxi ran down one after the other.
Seeing this, Tu Yao opened her mouth and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "The coordination is absolutely perfect!"
She quickly hopped over to Xu Chi, circled him once, and generously gave him a thumbs up: "Xiao Chi! You're a hidden talent!"
Xu Chi chuckled, turned his head and saw Tu Chaoxi's obvious headache from anger, lowered his eyes and silently stepped in between them.
Tu Chaoxi: ...
"Today, it's not that someone else is pursuing you, it's that you're pursuing someone else."
Just then, a familiar, aged yet remarkably spirited, teasing voice suddenly rang out.
Tu Yao was taken aback and quickly turned around!
She saw an elderly woman in an indigo cheongsam smiling at her from next to the bodyguard.
It's Madam Chiang!
Being gazed upon by such a powerful yet gentle old man, Tu Yao quickly suppressed her smile and greeted him formally, "...Hello!"
At that moment, Cormier arrived in a menacing manner with a group of supporting guests!
Upon seeing a familiar figure in the distance, she paused for a moment, then called out, "Auntie!"
