Soon, the elevator went up again. When it reached the fourth floor, it stopped again. The person who had taken the elevator must have gone out. Ten seconds later, the elevator continued to go up. When it finally reached the fifth floor, the elevator door opened.
There was no one in the elevator.
Jiang Tong glanced at the broken camera in the elevator and pretended not to notice. The corner of her mouth curled up slightly as she walked into the elevator. The man in the mask followed her into the elevator. There were only two people in the elevator. The elevator door closed and moved downward. When they reached the fourth floor, the elevator actually stopped again. When the door opened, there were six people waiting for the elevator. They wore different styles of casual clothes. They were either tall or short. They were all men, and each of them was wearing a mask. There were also a few people wearing baseball caps. After the elevator door opened, all six of them walked into the elevator.
Jiang Tong made way for them in the elevator. The elevator in this shopping mall was very spacious, but it was still a little crowded after eight people were stuffed in. The elevator door closed and continued to move downward. The elevator was very quiet. Suddenly! The seven people other than Jiang Tong reached into their arms at almost the same time and pulled out their machetes or daggers, all pointing their weapons at Jiang Tong!
A fleet of five cars drove into the underground car park of the shopping mall. The one in front was a Bentley, and the driver was Zhou Jingyun. Zhou Jingyun’s trusted bodyguard, Wang Yi, was sitting in the front passenger seat. The four cars behind were all off-road vehicles, and they were all filled with bodyguards.
“Boss, there’s no need to be in such a hurry. We’re already at the underground car park.” Wang Yi couldn’t help but remind Zhou Jingyun. This wasn’t the first time he had reminded Zhou Jingyun. When they had just come out, Zhou Jingyun’s Bentley was in the middle of the motorcade. Normally, it had to be like this. The boss’s car was the safest in the middle, but Zhou Jingyun probably felt that the motorcade was driving too slowly. Halfway through the journey, he started to accelerate to the front of the motorcade and drove particularly fast. This method violated their security regulations. Unless there were only cars moving together, the position of the car that Zhou Jingyun was in would be the same whether it was in the front or the back. However, when there were more than two cars, Zhou Jingyun’s car had to be in the middle! Although Zhou Jingyun was the boss and did not abide by these rules, Wang Yi had to abide by them!
However, Zhou Jingyun was the boss. Although Wang Yi felt that it was too dangerous, he could not do anything other than verbally remind Zhou Jingyun. He could only persuade Zhou Jingyun to drive slowly. Zhou Jingyun drove with an icy expression, ignoring Wang Yi.
After entering the underground parking lot, Zhou Jingyun naturally had to find a parking spot first. As he had to go upstairs, he drove the car to the innermost area of the car park to find a parking spot near the elevator. The business of this shopping mall was not very good, and it had just officially opened not long ago. Therefore, there were very few cars in the car park, and it was empty.
Zhou Jingyun saw Jiang Tong’s Lamborghini from afar, and also saw the elevator door of the lower-level car park. He also saw a group of men wearing masks gathering in front of the elevator door and pressing the elevator button quickly. It was currently summer, and unless they were wearing formal clothes such as suits, ordinary people rarely wore coats and they would not wear thick coats either.
Wang Yi noticed the group of people outside the elevator door from afar. He took a few more glances and then frowned. “Everyone be careful. This area might not be safe.” He pressed the walkie-talkie to remind them that protecting Zhou Jingyun was their top priority. Therefore, he had to remind all the bodyguards. After putting down the walkie-talkie, Wang Yi said to Zhou Jingyun, “Boss, the group of people in front are all armed.” He was a professional, so he could tell from the way they dressed. Those men were wearing thick coats and seemed bulky. There must be something on them!
“Huh?” Zhou Jingyun was shocked. He glanced at Wang Yi and then looked outside.
At this moment, the elevator door on the first floor opened. The group of people entered the elevator. One of them took out something that looked like a stick wrapped in a newspaper and smashed the camera in the elevator with his hand! The thing wrapped in the newspaper should not be a real stick, but a knife!
Zhou Jingyun’s pupils constricted violently!
Wang Yi, who also saw this scene, commented, “A fugitive.” He could confirm that the other party was a fugitive because of his style of doing things! There were surveillance cameras in the underground car park but they were not afraid of being caught on camera. If they broke the surveillance cameras in the elevator, the shopping mall’s management department would soon notice and send people over to check on them. However, they still did not care! They were all wearing masks. Even if they were caught on camera, no one would know who they were!
