On the other side.
After finishing the shift handover with the night shift, Su Nan and Wang Chong begin their work today.
Behind them are two new security guards.
Wang Chong said, “Brother Nan, I’ll take these two to familiarize themselves with the hotel today, and also process their entry, pick up some equipment. You go on with your work.”
“Alright, you go ahead.” Su Nan nodded.
Just as Wang Chong was about to leave with the two new guards, their walkie-talkies on their belts suddenly blared out an alarming warning.
The frantic calls of other security guards could also be heard.
“There’s an incident!”
“It’s at Miss Bai’s place!”
Su Nan and the others’ expressions changed instantly, and they rushed towards the top floor where Bai Mengmeng was located without thinking.
Fortunately, they were not far from the top floor. In less than a minute, they had already reached it.
In the corridor, a middle-aged man in a suit was holding a dagger to a young girl’s throat, confronting four other security guards.
Not far away, Bai Mengmeng had also been alerted and was standing with ten other women, her face darkened as she watched the scene.
“Bad luck!” Seeing Su Nan and the others arrive, the middle-aged man in a suit looked even more displeased.
According to the plan, he was supposed to sneak into Bai Mengmeng’s room quietly and force her to hand over the bracelet.
However, somehow, he entered the wrong room and instead found himself in another member’s room.
As luck would have it, he bumped into the girl in the room as soon as he entered.
Shocked, the girl screamed.
Now, the security personnel were directly drawn over.
Despite this, the man in the suit didn’t panic.
He knew that as long as he made good use of the girl in his hands, he still had a chance.
The man in the suit stared at Bai Mengmeng and said, “Miss Bai, you should know what I want. Give me the item, and I will let her go!”
Bai Mengmeng spoke in a low voice: “You release Qiu’er now, and not only will
I give you the item, but I will also transfer 10 million to you immediately!”
Money didn’t mean much to her; the important thing was to ensure the safety of the people.
“Another to million…” Hearing Bai Mengmeng’s words, the middle-aged man in the suit began to breathe heavily, almost unable to resist agreeing.
However, he quickly thought of something and snorted coldly, “I know your tricks. Now you can transfer the money to me, but later you can freeze the money. You’re just buying time! Hand over the item quickly!”
“I’ll give it to you if you let Qiu’er go now.” Bai Mengmeng did not hesitate and took out a bracelet.
“Throw it to me! I’ll let her go once I successfully leave!”
Bai Mengmeng stared deeply at the man in the suit: “I hope you keep your promise!”
Eventually, she threw the bracelet to the man in the suit.
In the eyes of others, a bracelet was worth millions, but in her eyes, it was not worth as much as the safety of her members.
As the bracelet arced towards the middle-aged man, all eyes were focused on it.
Su Nan suddenly noticed something.
Not far from him, one of the new security guards had his eyes on Bai Mengmeng’s hand.
Something’s wrong!
An idea suddenly popped up in Su Nan’s mind, and then he saw the security guard suddenly make a move.
His target was the game bracelet on Bai Mengmeng’s wrist.
Su Nan instantly realized what the security guard was trying to do, and another question emerged in his mind.
Once the game bracelet was used, it would be bound to the player’s identity, and others couldn’t use it.
Why would this person try to steal the game bracelet?
As thoughts raced through his mind, without much time to think, Su Nan swung the baton he carried with him.
The baton did not carry much force, but it hit the arm of the security guard accurately.
This blow made the security guard grunt and involuntarily glare at Su Nan, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
“What are you doing!” Wang Chong was closest to Su Nan and reacted first, swinging his baton at the security guard.
The security guard was well-trained and easily dodged Wang Chong’s baton, then flashed over to the side of the middle-aged man in a suit and said:
“Hurry up! Mr. K sent me to help you!”
Mr. K? One of our own?
But how are you helping me? It’s clear that you’re harming me!
The middle-aged man’s heart raced, and with the item in his hand, he didn’t have time to think and immediately grabbed the girl named Qiu’er and headed towards the elevator.
Su Nan didn’t take action, for even if the situation turned serious and someone’s life was at risk, he had to consider whether taking action would expose him to risk.
The incident happened so suddenly that others were stunned.
Their attention was focused on the middle-aged man in the suit, never thinking that there would be a traitor among them!
“Where the hell did he come from?” Security Chief Fatty Li also rushed over, just in time to see the previous scene, his face turning green with anger.
As the head of security, he bore the greatest responsibility for this incident.
“Miss Bai, are you alright?” Fatty Li quickly asked.
The other ten or so women finally recovered from the shock and immediately gathered around to ask and show concern.
Bai Mengmeng waved her hand and said, “Saving Qiu’er is more important!”
Fatty Li reacted quickly, looked at Su Nan and the other security guards, and shouted, “What are you waiting for? Go after them!”
For the safety of the girl, the security personnel dared not push the middle-aged man in the suit too hard, even failing to stop him from escaping.
In the end, they could only watch helplessly as he left the hotel and boarded a waiting car.
However, what made everyone even more upset was the fact that after the man in the suit got in the car, he did not let the girl named Qiu’er go, but instead took her with him!
Bai Mengmeng’s face sank, and she immediately took out her phone and made a call.
Not too far away, Su Nan could hear clearly that Bai Mengmeng was calling someone named Yang Zheng.
Fatty Li made a quick decision and drove a luxury car that was used to welcome guests in the hotel, pointing to several security personnel and said, “You stay here to protect Miss Bai, the rest of you follow me.”
They were all well-trained and quickly got into the car without hesitation.
Two cars sped along the road, one behind the other.
It seemed that they had also noticed they were being followed, and the car in front sped up even more.
They were heading in the direction of the suburbs.
The chase lasted for half an hour.
By the time the cars slowed down, they had arrived at an empty and uninhabited area in the suburbs, surrounded by unevenly sized farmland and nothing else.
The car in front stopped, and a man in black got out of the passenger seat.
Seeing this, Fatty Li and the others quickly got out of their car.
However, something happened in the next moment that made their faces change drastically.
The man waved his hand, and a bright red fireball shot towards them.
“Spellcaster Warriors!”
As the fireball shot out, Su Nan became unsettled.
He had never expected that this time, the incident would involve the presence of a Bloodline Warrior.
This was somewhat incredible.
It was known that, according to the in-game ranking list, there were only a few awakened bloodline players to be considered extremely rare.
How could it be such a coincidence to meet one here?
While the fireball was shot, it was fortunate that the target of the middle-aged man in black was not them, but the car beside them.
“Be careful!” Fatty Li shouted.
As the fireball fell, the few people, who were all retired soldiers with professional training, reacted quickly and leaped to the side at the first moment.
Boom!
The fireball erupted like a grenade on the car, bursting out with scorching flames.
This attack caused varying degrees of damage to each person, but luckily there were no casualties.
“Everyone, run!” Fatty Li shouted again.
At this moment, he didn’t care about saving people anymore.
Facing such an enemy with supernatural abilities, it was like throwing an egg against a rock. Continuing this would only increase casualties.
The others understood this and didn’t care about the pain in their bodies. They quickly scattered and fled in all directions.
Su Nan also chose an unoccupied direction to run.
However, he didn’t run far.
He was very curious about where this Spellcaster Warrior came from.
“I still need to go and check.” Making sure there was no one around, he decided and used Boneshifting.
This technique was mysterious, unparalleled in its transformative properties, not only changing his body but also his clothes, truly a powerful transformation skill.
The effect of the technique took place, changing his body shape, appearance, and clothes, making him look inconspicuous.
He quietly returned.
What he didn’t expect was that from a distance, he saw that the situation in the field had changed.
It was the same official member who had fought Li Xuheng that day.
Thinking of the previous call Bai Mengmeng had made, Su Nan understood: “It seems that the official player named Yang Zheng is involved. I just don’t know what his in-game name is.”
Yang Zheng immediately started fighting with the man in black, and the two fought evenly.
Seeing this, Su Nan breathed a sigh of relief. The enemy was not strong, and he posed no danger to him.
However, the situation only lasted for a few breaths, and as another man in black got out of the car, the situation took a turn for the worse.
“Another Warrior, a Physical Martial Artist with Strength as the Primary Attribute!” Su Nan frowned.
One awakened bloodline player was already rare enough, and now another one appeared. When did awakened bloodline players become common?
Could they not be players at all?
Two warriors against Yang Zheng would be too much for him to handle.
He accidentally got hit by a fireball.
This blow directly turned him into a severely wounded person and fell to the ground without the ability to resist.
The two men did not continue to attack, instead, they came over to Yang Zheng, took off his Game Bracelet.
The two men in black only glanced at the number inside the bracelet, seemed disappointed, and tossed the bracelet onto the ground.
Seeing this, Su Nan’s pupils shrank!
He immediately thought of Bai Mengmeng’s bracelet that was almost taken away before.
“Good guy, after such a big circle, it turns out to be just for this!”
Su Nan suddenly understood that the target of this incident was not Bai
Mengmeng’s unused bracelet but the bracelet in his own hand!
These two men in black were with those two wearing duckbill caps before!
If it weren’t for the differences in body shapes, he would even suspect that these two were the same two people as before.
Obviously, not being able to find the bracelet for so long, they had no choice but to target the top players in Donglin City.
Perhaps, if they couldn’t find what they were looking for, the players in the entire Donglin City would be targeted!
Looking at the two, Su Nan sneered at the corners of his mouth.
“I was just worrying about where to find someone to slaughter and condense the third life wheel, and now, they are just delivered to my doorstep!”
He originally didn’t plan to make a move, but since he discovered that the two were looking for the bracelet in his hand, it was necessary for him to act.
The important thing was that the two were not particularly strong, so this was a good opportunity to find out the secret behind the bracelet!
