Chapter 803: Calm

“That’s because Luo Shangyi is responsible for the security of today’s auction. There’s been an explosion downstairs. If this isn’t your father’s responsibility, who else? Mine?”

“Then, it’s possible that you’ve planted a mole under my father’s name when he’s not paying attention, leading to the explosion! What else? Do you think my father is a fool? Why should he cause an explosion when he’s in charge of today’s security? He might as well tell everyone that he’s the mole, no? If you were the mole, would you have done that?”

Peng Yaohua sneered. “He might be doing the opposite!”

“Enough, stop talking!” Leng Jinpeng growled. “Since our enemy has already attacked, their goal is to trap us here. Before we leave, they’ll definitely attack again. So, before they reveal their true colors, I won’t trust anyone but Chi Yang. From now on, all command of the venue will be handed over to Chi Yang. If anyone dares to do anything, they’ll be branded as spies and terminated.”

“Yes, sir.”

Everyone stood at attention and gave Leng Jinpeng a standard military salute before turning around to look at Chi Yang.

Chi Yang remained silent. His gaze swept across everyone before he gave Leng Jinpeng a salute.

“Chi Yang, what’s our situation now?”

“I don’t know yet. I’m waiting for news.”

Almost as soon as he said that, one of the hotel staff came over to report the situation.

The man reported to Chi Yang in a low voice. Other than Chi Yang, no one else could hear him.

After Chi Yang was done getting updated, he walked to the front of the crowd. Then, he ordered the crowd solemnly, “Everyone, listen to my command. Other than the elderly, please move as fast as you can. Men will stand on the left, while the women and elderly will stand on the right. Allow me to estimate our numbers.”

Everyone heard what the commander-in-chief had said. For the sake of survival, no one dared to say anything.

“Daddy, you should head to the left.”

“Okay.”

Duke Eton quickly went to the left as instructed.

Aiden, Xiao Wensheng, Mu Xigui, and Li Yunshen followed him quickly to the left too.

“Miss Sunny, please take care of my grandfather and sister.”

Although Wu Zongyang did not want to leave Wu Pingting and Elder Wu, they must part ways.

Zhong Nuannuan nodded. “Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Elder Wu.”

After hearing Chi Yang’s command, the only ones who did not move were Ling Pinyuan and Luo Mengying.

Chi Yang looked at Ling Pinyuan. Before he could speak, Ling Pinyuan responded, “I’m a female soldier from the special forces. I can be treated like a man.”

“So, does that allow you to disobey orders?”

Chi Yang’s rhetorical question left Ling Pinyuan no room to refute. She stood at attention and saluted. “Yes, sir!”

When she saw that Ling Pinyuan had gone over to the women’s side, Luo Mengying glanced at Luo Shangyi. When she saw Luo Shangyi nodding at her, she had no choice but to go over.

When everyone was in position, Chi Yang finally said, “I’ve received news that the explosion just now came from the 44th floor of the hotel. Currently, the entire 44th floor has been destroyed, and neither the elevator nor the stairs are operational. In addition, the 44th floor is the building’s mechanical and electrical room. After the explosion, the entire building’s supply of water, electricity, and internet access have been cut off.”

As soon as he said that, a commotion swept through the crowd. The people who had calmed down earlier instantly lost their composure.

“Silence!” Chi Yang commanded, and miraculously, everyone fell silent.

“Lijing Mansion is the Xiao family’s property. Just now, Young Master Xiao has already briefed me on this building’s design. As long as everyone listens to me, it won’t be difficult to get out.”
