Qin Hai did not have the time to warn the crowd as he used the opportunity to push Zhang Zhengdong away before hugging Liu Qingmei and throwing her down to the ground.
In that instant, the bullet from the sniper rifle had shattered the gla.s.s window, and with a loud whistling sound pa.s.sed Zhang Zhengdong's position, striking Wu Long on the right. Wu Long was. .h.i.t in the chest, and his body was immediately sent flying. He fell to the ground, motionless.
At the sight of this, everyone present was stunned for a moment before an ear-piercing scream sounded out. A lot of people were crazily running towards the exit of the hall. However, in the process, a few more people were shot down one after another.
"There's a sniper! Get down!"
After a while, Qin Hai raised his head and saw that the sniper hiding in the opposite building had already disappeared. He quickly helped Liu Qingmei up and hid behind a nearby pillar.
As Qin Hai consoled Liu Qingmei, he paid attention to the movements of the people in the hall as he suspected that there was an a.s.sa.s.sin at the reception.
A few of Zhang Zhengdong's bodyguards picked him up from the ground and escorted him to the exit of the hall.
However, after only a few steps, a young man in a suit and leather shoes nearby suddenly took out a gun from his pocket and threw a few bodyguards beside Zhang Zhengdong onto the ground with a few shots.
But at this moment, a young lady who was squatting on the ground suddenly lifted her skirt, pulled out a dagger from her thigh, and rushed towards Zhang Zhengdong.
The two bodyguards at Zhang Zhengdong's side immediately rushed over, but they were no match for the young woman, as she quickly cut off their throats.
The young woman's speed was very fast, and she had already arrived. Her hand raised up and a sharp dagger pierced into the back of Zhang Zhengdong's heart.
Qin Hai did not have a weapon in his hand, and Liu Qingmei just happened to have a hairpin stuck in her forehead. He took it off and quickly threw it at the young woman.
Although the card was small, it was as powerful as a bullet as Qin Hai when he threw it with all his might. The young woman knew what was going on and quickly withdrew her dagger and stepped back to avoid the attack.
At the same time, Zhang Zhengdong's remaining bodyguards had already rushed over. The young woman gave Qin Hai a deep look, turned around, and left. In the blink of an eye, she took advantage of the chaos to rush out of the reception hall.
After a while, when Zhang Zhengdong's bodyguards escorted him out of the reception hall, Qin Hai also supported Liu Qingmei out of the hall. When he arrived at the lobby of Shangri-La's first floor, he saw that it was already filled with heavily armed police officers. Zhang Zhengdong had already been escorted by his bodyguards to the bulletproof vehicle outside the door.
Liu Qingmei's face was extremely pale, and only after they had left the Shangri-La Hotel did the shrill siren completely disappear from her ears as the fear and panic on her face gradually faded away.
Turning her head to look at Qin Hai's firm expression, Liu Qingmei could not help but bitterly smile: "Today you were here, otherwise the one who would have died would have been me."
If it wasn't for the fact that Qin Hai threw Liu Qingmei to the ground, the first person to be hit by the killer would have been Liu Qingmei. After so many years, once again Liu Qingmei felt that the distance between them was close. Even now, Liu Qingmei still had some lingering fear in her heart.
Qin Hai turned his head to look at her and extended his hand to hold Liu Qingmei's hand as he smiled and said: "With me here there is no need to be afraid of anything!"
Liu Qingmei did not push Qin Hai's hand away this time and instead used her two hands to tightly grasp onto his palm. That strong feeling made her feel very safe. It was like what Qin Hai said just now. Only by having him by her side could she truly feel safe.
"Oh yeah, I used your hairpin just now, I'll give you another one later. "How do you like it?" Qin Hai saw that Liu Qingmei's expression was still solemn so he intentionally brought up a few easy topics.
"No need, I still have a lot of them." Liu Qingmei smiled, "You saved Zhang Zhengdong today and this is a good opportunity. Later I will ask around and if he is still at the Spring River then I will ask if you guys can meet up and have a good chat."
Qin Hai did not know whether to laugh or cry. Even at a time like this Liu Qingmei was still thinking about this matter.
Qin Hai took out his phone from his pocket. It was from Lin Qingya, and as soon as the call connected, she anxiously asked, "I just received news that Shangri-La is in trouble. Are you and Qingmei alright?"
"We're all fine. Don't worry, we'll be back soon!"
Qin Hai hung up the phone and Liu Qingmei also took out her cell phone to make a few calls before saying with worry: "Wu Long's injuries are too serious and he died before he could even get to the hospital. Including him, a total of fifteen people died at the reception and other than the a.s.sa.s.sin and the woman who escaped, the four killers that infiltrated the hotel were all killed on the spot."
"Is the killer's ident.i.ty confirmed?" Qin Hai wasn't too surprised about Wu Long's death, because even he couldn't withstand the bullet. Wu Long's stomach had almost exploded from the shot, so it was obvious that he had died on the spot.
"No matter how chaotic the situation is, it will not mess around in the Cyanwood County. It will be fine as long as it has nothing to do with you." Qin Hai said with a smile.
At the same time, at the Shangri-La Grand Hotel, a waiter wearing a black suit and skirt was escorted out of the Shangri-La Grand Hotel by the police.
After boarding the bus that had been waiting for her for a long time, she looked through the window at the tall hotel building, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes.
