Chapter 140 [The Great Robbery] (1)(1/2)
Chapter 140 [Shocking Robbery] (I)
"Jessica, turn around!"
"Jessica, smile brighter."
"Jessica, give me a look..."
Many media reporters were shouting loudly. Jessica seemed to be in high spirits and kept posing in various attractive shapes on the spot. Occasionally, some small movements showed off her shoulders and bent down to reveal her cleavage slightly shallowly, which attracted countless flashes around her.
I stood carefully behind her for about a step away, keeping myself from being included in the camera, but many reporters didn't seem to want to let me go. Obviously, I, a rich man who just came to Hollywood and the owner of the film company, also interested them. Many reporters squeezed around outside the isolation belt and changed angles. Jessica suddenly held my hand, then leaned against me intimately, smiled, and at the same time said in a low voice: "Smile, Chen, it's not good for you to have a stern face like this. Look, this is Hollywood. This is part of the rules of the game."
I reluctantly took a few photos with her, and then pulled her away in a hurry. But Jessica was obviously very satisfied, and she had achieved her goal.
And I felt a little uneasy.
Although the feeling I just now was not so clear and not so real, it really made me feel a hint of cold air! But after it disappeared immediately, the illusion of this moment made me feel a little afraid to confirm it.
As we entered the hall on the first floor of the building, today the grand display party gathered almost all local celebrities, and the security level was obviously very high.
Several detection doors were arranged at the entrance of the building, and the guests walked past the detection door. It is said that this would eliminate some media that wanted to get in with photography equipment. Of course, it is even more impossible to bring in firearms. Everything is for safety!
Only a few specially invited media outlets will have special people who, at a certain time, allow them to take photographic equipment with their photographic equipment to shoot the expensive jewelry in the world and the diamonds worn on Hollywood stars...
The red carpet was laid all the way to the elevator door, followed the elevator to the 62nd floor, and came to a large exhibition hall on the top floor.
This exhibition hall is a thousand square meters, and some crystal display stands have been decorated with precious diamond jewelry. Those bright, unknown carat diamonds immediately aroused the surprise and anticipation of many noble ladies among the guests.
Jessica and I walked into the hall all the way. Jessica beside us immediately turned into a cheerful bird, chatting and laughing and greeting the people around us.
Tonight, here, it’s the most famous handsome guys and beauties in Hollywood. They can all be present at the venue. There are also representatives from several major film companies, producers, first-tier and second-tier directors, investors, etc.
Looking at the countless faces that were worshipped by fans all over the world on weekdays, I felt like I was in a dream world. Even Jessica introduced the black actor I knew, and after a few conversations, I suddenly remembered that the black actor just now seemed to have been on the Oscar podium...
All venues are mainly blue tones, fully displaying a dreamy color.
The one who was most excited was probably Lei Xiaohu. This guy saw so many big stars around him, but under Yang Wei's suppression, he did not run up to make a shameful move to ask for an autograph. And I quickly found them in the crowd.
Obviously, Yang Wei was born in a big family after all, and had sufficient social experience in this type of occasion. In just a few minutes, she seemed to be in a state of water. She was chatting and laughing very calmly with the people around her, as if the other party was a famous Hollywood movie investor. The other party was probably just shocked by Yang Wei's beauty at the beginning, but after the conversation, Yang Wei quietly revealed her origin, and received a bit of true respect.
After we walked over, Yang Wei immediately introduced me to the person who was talking to her, and then Jessica also came up...
In the following time, all I heard were conversations like this:
"Oh. Have you watched Michael & Bay's new film? This guy made a lot of money from "Transformers". Now there are a lot of people who are taking money to ask him to make movies."
"What? Julie? Which Julie? Julia? Or Angelina? Oh, I don't know. But she seems to be very passionate about charity recently..."
"Hey, I heard that there are some financial problems in Spider-Man episode 4 recently. Maybe you can contact them. This movie should be a sure profit. Oh, of course, Batman is no longer popular anymore, oh, that prequel is simply terrible!"
"Sdiffin? He won't be a director easily now... Do you understand? He is the boss now and can fire the director at any time, haha... But unless there is another movie that praises the Jews, who knows? Maybe God will know."
These big crocodiles in Hollywood are talking about their recent business casually. The millions and tens of millions of businesses are talking casually. Moreover, I am afraid that the casual words of these people may change the movie plan of movie fans all over the world next year. Do you want to watch the Transformers episode 2? Sorry, I'm afraid that the movie will not come out in two years...
I felt a little dizzy when I heard this. I was a completely amateur to Hollywood. And just as I took an opportunity to walk aside with Yang Wei, I couldn't help but ask: "Who is the Stephen they just mentioned?"
Yang Weiheng gave me a look, held back his laughter, and whispered: "Stephen & Spielberg."
I:"……"
I felt dizzy, and this kind of social situation made me feel a little uncomfortable - the more important reason is that the strange feeling before was still affecting me. I always have a feeling of uneasiness in my heart...
I pulled Lei Xiaohu aside and said to him: "You follow Yang Wei, don't leave her side!"
Lei Xiaohu glanced at me: "Uncle Master, what's wrong with you?"
I thought about it: "It's okay, I'll go out for some breathing. Smoke a cigarette."
After saying that, without saying hello to the ladies, I walked straight to the side, grabbed a waiter, asked him where the lounge was, and after I walked to the edge of the hall, I opened a door and went out.
There was a corridor outside, and I saw the sign above my head showing the toilet sign in front of me. I frowned. I was looking for a lounge where I could smoke, not go to the bathroom. Maybe the waiter just now heard my question wrong.
Since the left end of the sign is the bathroom, I simply walked all the way to the corridor on the right and looked for it.
In fact, this floor is in the shape of a "其" shape, with a hall in the middle, a circle of corridors around it, and a variety of work areas outside.
Today's party naturally requires alcohol and food. Originally, there was no kitchen area in this kind of place. The food was also ordered and shipped by special food companies. There are many high-end food companies here that specialize in providing food and wine for this dinner and party. Here, as long as you have money, you can enjoy any service.
I found it all the way. After walking for about a few dozen meters, I smelled a strong aroma of food. I knew I probably accidentally walked into the temporary kitchen.
I thought I was probably going wrong again, so I couldn't help but feel a little depressed, so I simply took out a cigarette in the corridor and lit it. Then I walked all the way...
But just as I walked past the door of one of the rooms... Suddenly, a subtle voice heard in my ears...
I am a martial arts practitioner, and my ears are much more sensitive than ordinary people, and this sound fell into my ears. It immediately made my heart burst!! Suddenly, I reacted instinctively and immediately took a lighter step under my feet!
The sound was very short and light, as if the old-fashioned sewing machine had turned gently... But this sound was so familiar to me!
This is the sound of a pistol shooting after installing a silencer!!
Hell!
I immediately realized that something must have happened!
I immediately pressed towards the door. There was a small transparent glass on the door here. I slightly exposed my eyes and looked in... Unexpectedly, I saw a man facing away from me and then fell down softly. The man was leaning against the door, and the back of his head was covered with blood! The blood rubbed against the glass in front of me...
I found that the man was wearing the security guard's clothes tonight. My heart tightened and I immediately shrank my head. After a few seconds, I poked my eyes back and saw clearly what was going on in the room!
This is a room that was temporarily converted into a kitchen. There are three men inside. They are all white, wearing white waiters' clothes. However, they are holding pistols with silencers in their hands! On the ground, there are two security guards lying on the ground. Judging from the blood on their bodies and the way they are lying there, they are probably shot and killed!
To my attention, the three gunmen dressed as waiters were all made of plastic! This explains why they could bring their guns in under safety inspection!
I was shocked! But then, I felt one of the people's eyes turn towards me, and I immediately squatted down... The noise of the telephone came from the room, and then I vaguely heard someone inside briefly say to the telephone in a cold voice: "It's clean!"
I hesitated for two seconds... My first reaction was to rush in and kill these three guys. But I was not sure to go in and kill them when all three of them had guns.
So, I immediately bent down and shrank back, then quickly returned to the far road, walked quickly over, and then quickly opened the door and walked in at the entrance of the first hall I found.
There was still music playing in the hall and the voices were noisy. The celebrities from all kinds of Hollywood were still talking. I walked quickly in the crowd, searching for Yang Wei and the others.
Obviously, something big is going to happen tonight!
Finally, my anxious eyes found Yang Wei and Lei Xiaohu standing there talking to Jessica in a corner far away. I walked over quickly. Yang Wei had already seen my face look strange. When I walked to her, she had already asked me: "What's wrong?"
"What happened! You must leave here immediately!!" After I finished speaking, I quickly said what I had just seen in two or three sentences. At the same time, I had already grabbed Jessica with one hand, grabbed Yang Wei with the other, winked at Lei Xiaohu, and quickly walked towards the exit closest to us.
"Ah!!" After hearing my words, Jessica let out a short scream and I pinched her arm hard, and then I said to her in a deep voice: "Don't scream! We are in danger now! I don't even know if there are any bad people among the waiters here!"
You know, there are at least twenty waiters in the room now!
Obviously, someone is watching here tonight! I'm afraid the astronomical diamond jewelry on display here attracted bad people.
My plan is very simple. Take the woman out of here as soon as possible! Especially Yang Wei!!
"Did you bring your phone?" I glanced at Jessica. I didn't carry it, but Jessica brought a dinner bag, which should be included in it.
Sure enough, she took out a phone number and I quickly called 911, and while walking, I quickly said to the phone: "A gun murder was found on the top floor of the Torch Building..." I didn't finish speaking, because I was halfway through the conversation and found that there was no sound in my phone, but a short murmur.
"The phone cannot be used!" I glanced at Yang Wei. Yang Wei took it over and listened. He shook his head: "The other party has communication jammer equipment!"
No matter what! We walked quickly to the elevator door, but unexpectedly found that the elevator button was not lit!
Jessica was already pale, and she told me with some trembling words: "I heard that after the party starts, the main elevator will be deactivated for a while. This will prevent idle people from hiding... After a while, when the jewelry is displayed, the makeup lounge is on the downstairs floor. Only the female celebrities who were invited to wear diamond jewelry displays tonight will take the elevator from the downstairs and directly enter the main venue... Before that, the main elevator is closed. Perhaps... only the two internal elevators behind can be used."
I glanced at Jessica: "Side elevator? Are you sure?"
"I...I've been here once and attended a party, so I know." Jessica said reluctantly and couldn't help but look at me: "Let's tell everyone..."
"It's too late! Once it gets messy, it's probably even more troublesome."
I pulled Yang Wei. In this case, I instinctively favored one and the other, and Yang Wei was what I care about the most! I glanced at Lei Xiaohu and signaled him to take Jessica. The four of us walked along the edge of the hall and walked towards the back of the venue without paying attention.
Just halfway through our way, suddenly, with a burst of sensational music, the main light in the hall turned off. Suddenly, the light in the venue became much darker. Only a circle of side lights were left.
Then, with a burst of music, a well-dressed middle-aged man with white hair walked up on the front desk, holding a microphone in his hand. I knew that this man seemed to be a famous emcee, and he was responsible for many TV shows.
"Ladies and gentlemen... Oh, look at how many handsome guys and beauties we gather here tonight. God, I'm afraid my eyes are blurred... Hey, who can tell me, was the Oscars' award ceremony ahead of schedule?" The emcee showed off his humor, and then indeed attracted a kind smile from the people below the audience.
He immediately said something quickly. But I didn't care, but walked quickly behind with the people around me.
"...Okay, since everyone is so happy on this night, then..." The emcee said this, and he laughed, then waved his microphone...
Bang!
When I heard this sound, I was shocked immediately!!
Around the platform, after the "bang" just now, several spouts on the platform immediately spewed out artificial smokeless fireworks, and suddenly, it looked extremely brilliant in the dark venue!
However, I was the only one who heard it. In the sound of the fireworks spraying just now, I heard another gunshot! And it was just ringing in the hall!
I immediately looked around with caution but saw the security guard guarding the entrance and exit door of a venue directly in front of us, his body fell down softly. But immediately, a man in the security uniform coldly picked him out from behind and opened him.
In the noisy scene, the fireworks attracted most of the attention of people, and no one noticed this scene!!
But because of this, our way forward was blocked! The killed security guard was right in front of us, and it was the entrance and exit we were about to leave here!
Yang Wei grabbed me and stopped!
Then, all the lights in the hall suddenly lit up... This abnormality finally caused everyone present to be surprised. Because the fireworks have not dissipated, it is logical that the lights should not be turned on now!
The white-haired celebrity host on the stage was also obviously surprised, but he still held the microphone and said: "Oh, it seems that our lighting engineer hopes that everyone will not steal diamonds in the chaos..."
He tried to use his own opportunity to save the situation, but immediately, a greater discord happened!
The two side doors next to them were opened at the same time!
To be continued...
