The signal was bad.

Bo Zheng frowned. He grabbed his cell phone and looked down. Seeing it was Luo Qing, he thought he was going to urge them to go down as he accepted the call. “I’m in the elevator. I’ll be down soon. Qiao Nian and Qin Si are also with me…”

Unexpectedly, before he could finish his sentence, a noise in the background interrupted him as Luo Qing’s panicked voice sounded. “No, Captain Bo, something happened to Master Cheng! Come quickly!”

“What did you say?!” Bo Zheng instantly became serious, and his tone grew anxious. “Where are you? I’ll be right there.”

Luo Qing told him the exact location.

Bo Zheng hung up with a livid expression. The first thing he did was look up at the floor number. They were on the 12th floor, and the elevator was still going down.

His reaction was so big, and they were in a sealed space. Even a fool could tell something was wrong.

Before Qin Si reacted…

Qiao Nian spoke first. “What happened? I think I heard Master Cheng’s name.”

Qin Si gasped and looked at Bo Zheng in shock.

Master Cheng? That’s impossible, right?

Bo Zheng’s face was ugly and his muscles were tense. He did not answer her directly and did not meet her eyes. He only said vaguely, “I don’t know the details. We’ll know when we get there.”

The elevator was quite fast.

A minute later, the elevator stopped steadily in the lobby on the first floor.

Bo Zheng quickly walked out in front. Qin Si and Qiao Nian followed behind him. The three of them barely spoke. Even Qin Si, who was used to joking, had a solemn expression.

Soon, they saw a circle of people in front of them.

Many onlookers and hotel security officers were outside. There were too many people, and Qiao Nian couldn’t tell anything from the outside.

She pushed through the crowd and said in a deep voice, “Please make way.”

Due to hereditary reasons, the people in Continent M were relatively tall. Qiao Nian’s height was not eye-catching. However, when the people she pushed turned around and saw her, they couldn’t help but obediently make way for her.

Qiao Nian, Qin Si, and the others squeezed through the crowd. The closer they got, the more she could smell the blood in the air.

The smell was as heavy as rust!

Her heart sank.

Qiao Nian’s eyes were fierce, and the corners of her mouth were pursed tighter and tighter. She pushed through the crowd as her hostility increased.

Finally, light appeared in front of them.

They finally squeezed into the middle of the crowd.

Jiang Tianzhi, Yu Wenhao, and a few others from the Ninth Branch formed a human wall and struggled to block the surrounding onlookers.

Among them, Jiang Tianzhi’s face was as red as a pig’s liver. He kept saying to the people trying to squeeze in, “Make way, everyone, make way. Let’s get some air inside!”

“Please move aside. Stop squeezing! Stop squeezing!”

However, basically no one listened to him. Those who should squeeze in were still squeezing in as if they were watching a show.

Qiao Nian’s eyes darkened. She turned to Bo Zheng and asked, “Do you have a gun?”

Bo Zheng did not expect her question, but after interacting with her for so long, he knew that Qiao Nian was not someone who would ask nonsense. After a short pause, he handed her the portable pistol at his waist.

“What are you going to—” use the gun for…?

Before he could finish his sentence, the girl took the gun from him and loaded it skillfully. Then, she raised the pistol to the sky and pulled the trigger!

Bang!

White smoke came out of the muzzle.

The sound of the gunshot at such a close distance was enough to shock everyone!
