At six o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was leaning against the sky, dyeing the Tenglong Building with a yellow light. Occasionally, one or two black magpies would fly over the roof of the building, but they did not dare to stay for a moment. They only circled around the building and let out hoarse cries.
One after another, luxury cars drove into the underground parking lot. Pu Yuan personally led a group of executives to stand in the hall to welcome the guests. Gu Qing, who was standing next to Pu Yuan, only had light makeup on, but she was wearing a light purple satin low-cut evening gown. It not only showed off her graceful figure, but also did not lose her noble and generous intellectual bearing. She instantly paled in comparison to the female guests who accompanied the wealthy guests to the cocktail party. Surrounded by the eager eyes of the male guests and the jealous eyes of the female guests, Gu Qing's smile was calm and magnanimous, leaving a deep impression on everyone who walked through the door.
However, only Gu Qing knew that her mind was completely on Yuwen. In the afternoon, Gu Qing was busy arranging the banquet, so she didn't see Yuwen. She didn't know what he was doing now. Just now, when sending the two high-ranking officials of the Finance Department to the elevator, Gu Qing tried the floor buttons in the elevator. Except for the 24th floor, all the other floor buttons did not respond. This must be Yuwen's doing. The fire staircases on the first floor and the twenty-fourth floor were also locked by Yuwen. Now that Yuwen had completely sealed off the area between the first floor and the twenty-fourth floor, what was he going to do?
On the 18th floor, in Gu Qing's office, Yuwen Zheng was resting with his legs crossed. He buried his entire body in the office chair, leaving only his left hand on the table. Five thin cotton threads were introduced from the door and connected to the five fingers of Yuwen's left hand. Xuan Gang was lying beside Yuwen's legs, lowering his hairy head, closing his eyes, but supporting his ears.
More and more guests gathered in the hall on the first floor. Many of the guests knew each other, so they stood in the hall and chatted. Pu Yuan was pestered by a few ladies with heavy makeup and could not get away. He used his gaze to signal Gu Qing to disperse these guests and let them talk to the top floor.
Gu Qing smiled and led the guests to the elevator. He accidentally found many unfamiliar faces in the crowd wearing the company's uniform. Gu Qing looked around in confusion. Suddenly, a figure jumped out from the side and stood in front of Gu Qing, scaring him so much that he patted his chest. The person who suddenly jumped out was Liu Tianming. He was also wearing the uniform of the Soaring Dragon Company.
The men's uniforms of the Tenglong Company were designed by Pu Yuan himself. They used the lines of the uniforms of the German officers during World War II. Although the German Nazis were hated, people had to admit that their military uniforms were very handsome. Therefore, Liu Tianming, who had a perfect figure, looked even more energetic in his uniform, which made Gu Qing look at him a little more.
Liu Tianming whispered into Gu Qing's ear,""My brothers are all wearing your company's uniforms and mixing in with the guests. Don't make a fuss.”
Gu Qing nodded and said," Can you ask your brothers to move around in the lobby on the first floor and the banquet hall on the twenty-fourth floor? If there is a door that can't be opened, don't try to break it by force, okay?"”
"Why do you sound like we're bandits?" Liu Tianming asked in surprise. Without permission, the police had no right to break in, right?”
Gu Qing smiled unnaturally." Haha…Then there's no problem. The elevator can go directly to the top floor."”She stretched out her arm and pointed at the elevator that was opening.
Liu Tianming put his hands in his pockets and asked with a smile,""Does Supervisor Gu dislike me that much? Can't I stand with you for a while? After all, I'm a member of the Teng Long Company now.”
Gu Qing didn't mind Liu Tianming standing beside him, so he smiled and said,""As long as it doesn't affect your work, you can stand anywhere.”
Tianming Liu smiled happily. He was about to talk to Gu Qing again when he felt someone pulling his arm from behind. Tianming Liu turned around and saw a beer-barrel-sized woman smiling at him. Liu Tianming was stunned. Gu Qing, who was standing at the side, called out enthusiastically.
"Oh, Zhu Ling, you're here too. The last time we broke up in Beijing, we were still thinking about when we could meet again.”
"Haha…Gu Qing, when did you become so sweet? There are a lot of guests today. I didn't want to disturb you, but your company is so big. I don't know how to go up.”Zhu Ling was already in her forties, but her voice sounded like that of a twenty-year-old girl.
Gu Qing patted Liu Tianming's shoulder and said,""Assistant Liu, let me introduce you. This is Boss Li's wife, Zhu Ling. Boss Li was a famous figure in the steel industry in the southwest region.”The Boss Li that Gu Qing mentioned was a half-bald old man. At this moment, he was hugging Pu Yuan warmly.
Only then did Liu Tianming remember that he was now an employee of the Teng Long Company. He could only put on a stiff smile on his face and said with a half-bent back,"So it's Madam Zhu Ling. I've long heard of you.”However, he was muttering in his heart. How was this beer barrel in front of him related to the word "spirit"?
Mrs. Zhu's small eyes never left Liu Tianming's handsome face." Oh, Xiao Liu, I'm very confused about unfamiliar places. Could you please lead me to your banquet hall?”Although she said " please," her hand began to pull Liu Tianming unceremoniously. She didn't know why she was so " confused " that she couldn't see the elevator door behind her.
Liu Tianming was dragged into the elevator. He looked back at Gu Qing innocently, only to find Gu Qing covering his mouth and laughing secretly.
Du Tingtao, who was standing in the corner of the hall, looked coldly at the endless stream of people. The Marlboros in his hand slowly twisted, and a few wisps of smoke floated on the obsidian floor. An old acquaintance came over to greet him. Du Tingtao threw away the crumpled cigarette with a gloomy face and took out a handkerchief from his suit jacket pocket to wipe his hands. The person who knew him thought that he was going to shake hands, so he extended his hand warmly. Unexpectedly, Du Tingtao completely ignored him and turned around to go into the elevator, making the person feel awkward.
Gu Qing saw this scene and was slightly suspicious. She looked at Pu Yuan and realized that Pu Yuan was also looking at the place where Du Tingtao had left.
The banquet hall on the top floor of the Tenglong Building was usually the dining room for the company's employees. It was a total of 1,200 square meters. It was magnificent, tall, and spacious. The ceiling was designed in a wave-like manner, which not only complied with the principles of sound, but also looked unique. The waiters who constantly passed through the crowd served the guests carefully prepared cocktails and western-style snacks. The celebrities and ladies enjoyed all of this happily.
Tianming Liu tried his best to get rid of Ms. Zhu in the banquet hall. Just as he was about to return to the first floor, the mini communication device hidden in his ear rang. It was Xiao Li's voice.
"Captain Liu, I just observed the surrounding situation. There doesn't seem to be any suspicious people. It's just that the fire exit door near the kitchen operation room is locked by someone. If something happens later, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome.”
Tianming Liu remembered what Gu Qing had said and ordered Xiao Li to ignore the locked door for the time being. He was also careful. He walked to the door of another fire escape and tried hard. It was also locked. "Can this prevent the murderer from coming up?”Liu Tianming smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Seeing that most of the guests had already gone to the top floor, Pu Yuan began to feel uneasy. If that perverted murderer took advantage of this moment to cause trouble, even if there were plainclothes policemen present, it might not be effective. He thought for a moment and instructed his two bodyguards to go upstairs and improvise.
The two bodyguards responded and went into the elevator together. The two of them had been paying close attention to whether there were any suspicious people around Pu Yuan. Now that the boss was not around, they could take a breather.
"Sigh…it's not easy to serve this rich boss.”The bodyguard who spoke was relatively younger than the two of them." Didn't you say that you were only responsible for Pu Yuan's personal safety when you signed the contract? Why did it become such a large group of people?”
Another slightly older bodyguard leaned against the inner wall of the elevator and said lazily,"Just do what I tell you to do. It's all about risking your life anyway. What's the difference?”
"People without money don't live comfortably. The psychological burden of rich people is quite heavy. I don't like the feeling of someone hiding in the dark and staring at me.”
"Come on, you haven't had the chance to be watched in your life.”As soon as he finished speaking, the older bodyguard felt that there was a third pair of eyes staring at him in the small elevator. He was shocked and looked up. There was a pair of eyes on the inner wall of the elevator beside the young bodyguard's head! His heart trembled. When he looked closely again, there was nothing.
The young bodyguard saw that his face had turned pale and thought that he was feeling unwell." What's wrong? The old stomachache was acting up again? I told you to drink less, but you didn't believe me!"
The older bodyguard rubbed his eyes and waved his hand to show that he was fine.
The young bodyguard took out a cigarette and handed it to the colleague in front of him. He also took out a lighter and wanted to light it for him. The old bodyguard moved his head to the fire and was about to light it when the flame went out. The young bodyguard hit it twice again, and the flame reignited. However, just as he raised it to the cigarette, the flame went out again...
"Don't breathe so heavily, okay? The fire has been extinguished by you.”The young bodyguard complained.
"When did I vent my anger?" The old bodyguard trembled and slowly raised his head.
"Is the lighter running out of gas?" the young bodyguard muttered.”He raised the lighter in front of his eyes and fired it several times.
The muscles on the old bodyguard's face instantly twisted, and his eyes were filled with fear. He actually saw another hand holding the same lighter in front of him! That hand was actually reaching out from under the young bodyguard's armpit! He took a heavy step back and hit the wall of the elevator with a bang. Before he could scream, the hand had already covered his mouth!
When the young bodyguard moved his gaze away from the lighter, he saw this extremely strange scene. He saw the pale right hand tightly gripping the old bodyguard's mouth, and the slender fingers were already embedded in his face. Five strands of blood were dripping down the fingers. The first joints of these five fingers had no muscles, only the ghastly white bones, emitting a faint white light under the small lights of the elevator.
The young bodyguard's throat was making noises, but he could not make a complete note. He was already scared silly, so when the second hand came out from behind him and slit his throat, he did not resist at all.
When the two bodies fell to the ground, the elevator had just passed the twelfth floor…
