I really don't want to date a girl addicted to the internet!

"Isn't that incredibly audacious?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

At that moment, the sound of fighting came over the loudspeaker again, followed by two deafening gunshots that clearly reached everyone's ears.

A bad feeling crept into everyone's heart.

"People below the 87th floor, you have ten minutes to leave this building. If you don't want to be burned to death, hurry up. I'm not kidding. I'll repeat myself, you have ten minutes..." The same man's voice rang out again.

722. Ye Shuang asked Cheng Fei to protect Lin Xuanqi.

The bizarre words on the radio left everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Are you serious?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"Why don't we check the situation first..."

As people hesitated, another scream of pain came over the loudspeaker, as if someone had been slammed against the microphone.

"You, tell them to run for their lives." The impatient man's voice rang out again.

Then came a woman's clear but trembling voice, "Urgent, urgent notice! The building is currently... under attack by unidentified personnel. Please do not panic. Follow instructions and take the nearest elevator downstairs. This is not a drill. Repeat, this is not a drill..."

An invisible atmosphere of terror was conveyed to everyone's hearts along with the woman's trembling voice.

Halfway through the broadcast, Cheng Fei dropped the microphone, quickly walked down from the podium, and went to Shen Xi and Nagasaki Asuna in the back row.

"Let's go." The boy said seriously.

The man on the loudspeaker urged those below the 87th floor to leave; they were on the 85th floor, so they shouldn't be the target.

Cheng Fei had noticed the floor buttons before. This building has eighty-eight floors, and the Lin and Song families might be upstairs, but that was none of his business.

Although it's unclear whether Tang Yu is involved in this matter, the danger level of the so-called unknown person is probably not ordinary, so it's best to take Shen Xi and Nagasaki Asuna to a safe place as soon as possible, just in case.

The two girls looked at each other and followed the boy without hesitation. The three of them left the roadshow venue first and walked quickly toward the elevator.

"What's going on?" Shen Xi frowned slightly.

"I don't know. I saw Tang Yu before the event, and she said something strange." The young man pressed all the elevator buttons at the elevator entrance without any hesitation, staring at the upward progress.

"Hey, that reporter from Jiangcheng Daily?" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head.

The boy nodded. "So let's go quickly."

Shen Xi looked thoughtful.

Just then, footsteps sounded behind the three of them.

Ye Shuang rushed out of the roadshow venue, her face showing anxiety. "Cheng Fei, Miss is having a meeting on the top floor. She's in danger!"

"What does this have to do with me?" the boy asked, looking at her expressionlessly.

Ye Shuang stared at him with wide eyes and opened her mouth.

"No matter what happens later, don't stray too far from me, listen to me." Cheng Fei then looked at Shen Xi and Nagasaki Asuna and said quickly.

The two girls nodded.

"Cheng Fei! What will happen to Miss if you leave?" Ye Shuang stared at him, even more anxious.

"I'll take them out, and besides, Master Ye, you're here for me, aren't you?" the young man said casually, shrugging.

"No, you have to go upstairs and protect the young lady!" Ye Shuang grabbed his arm.

"Master Ye, I need to ensure the safety of Shen Xi and Nana first." The young man remained unmoved, speaking slowly and deliberately.

Ye Shuang's eyes flickered, and she gritted her teeth, "Then I'll protect them, you go to Miss's side!"

"I refuse, why should I?" Cheng Fei remained unmoved.

"Cheng Fei, what will Miss think if you leave at a time like this?" Ye Shuang glared at him with slightly red eyes, paused, and raised her voice, "You promised me you'd grant me one request, and now I need you to protect Miss!"

"Master Ye, I'm only asking what I can do. Shen Xi and Nana might also be in danger, so I need to protect them first!" The boy raised his voice as well.

"I can protect them!"

"Then why don't you go protect Xuanqi?"

"I need you to protect Miss!" The obedient girl stared intently at him, her eyes trembling, her expression stubborn.

Shen Xi and Nagasaki Asuna silently observed the two who were locked in a fierce confrontation.

Just then, the elevator dinged, the doors opened, and a burly man with dark skin, wearing a blue shirt and a name tag, walked out. Holding a megaphone, he shouted, "I am the security manager. Everyone, don't panic, take the elevator down in an orderly manner."

A few people on this floor, who were a beat slower than Cheng Fei in reacting, gathered at the elevator entrance, their faces still somewhat bewildered.

Unlike the other building next to the Petronas Towers, which is a hotel, this building is mainly an office building, so there aren't many people there at night.

Nagasaki Asuna suddenly tiptoed close to Cheng Fei's ear and whispered, "Cheng Fei, this security manager seems a bit strange."

"Is he trying to trick people into coming downstairs?" The boy glanced discreetly at the burly man guiding the crowd, realizing something was amiss.

Asuna Nagasaki shook her head. "I don't sense any hostility, but he doesn't seem to be the security manager."

"Understood." Cheng Fei nodded to show he understood. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Ye Shuang, who was still holding onto him, sighed and softened his tone, "Master Ye, I'm afraid of you. I'll go upstairs, okay? But you have to protect them as they come downstairs and make sure they get to a safe place."

"Don't worry, they'll be fine unless I die." The obedient girl met his gaze, her voice deep and resolute.

"Who wants you dead? You're my Master Ye." The young man smiled helplessly and patted her head. "Go on."

Ye Shuang lowered her head, her eyes flickering.

"Cheng Fei, those people seem to have guns. Are you really going up there?" Nagasaki Asuna asked, her hands clasped in front of her chest, her brows furrowed, her face filled with deep worry.

"Don't worry, I can dodge all the bullets. You guys go ahead." The boy pinched her cheek again and smiled.

Shen Xi gave him a light kick, her face expressionless. "Cheng Fei, be careful."

"Understood, thank you for your concern, Your Highness." The young man bowed solemnly.

The three girls then stepped into the elevator.

Cheng Fei stood in place and watched the elevator doors close. He shook his head, put his hands in his pockets, and hummed an unknown tune as he walked towards the fire escape.

If Lin Xuanqi had already been killed by this time, that wouldn't concern him...

As the boy slowly walked upstairs, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.

Cheng Fei turned his head and suddenly met the gaze of the burly man who claimed to be the security manager.

"Hello?" The boy nodded in greeting.

"Why aren't you running for your life and instead going uphill?" the burly man asked in surprise.

"My girlfriend is upstairs, I'm going to check on things." The boy shrugged, his light tone like someone walking between classes after school, completely ignoring the evacuation announcements in his ear.

"You're asking for it." The man hesitated, then gave up trying to persuade him, and stepped over three steps to pass by him.

"Then why did you go up there?" Cheng Fei asked curiously.

"This is my job!" the man said before disappearing through the fire door on the stairs.

Cheng Fei shook his head, "Why would you risk your life for a few thousand yuan? Your acting is way too exaggerated..."

Let's rewind a little.

Eighty-eight floors.

The female secretary, carrying documents, stepped out of the elevator, caught a glimpse of the men in black on both sides of the corridor, and quickly walked towards the front door.

The man in black standing guard by the door helped her open the door a crack. In that instant, she could see a group of distinguished-looking people sitting at a conference table inside, and someone was speaking.

After the secretary went inside, the man in black gently closed the door and continued to stand guard at the entrance.

At that moment, a dull thud, accompanied by a noticeable tremor in the floor, reached their ears.

723. Lin Xuanqi told Cheng Fei to run fast.

At the same time the tremor occurred, the elevator made a "ding" sound.

The men in black first looked up, then subconsciously glanced at the slowly opening elevator doors.

At that moment, a screech came from somewhere, the building went dark, and then a deafening gunshot, accompanied by flashes of light, burst out from the elevator doors.

When the lights came back on, all the men in black who had been guarding the corridor lay in pools of blood.

Armed attackers wearing black hoods poured out of the elevator, removed their night vision goggles, and while firing at the corpses on the ground, they held their submachine guns at bay and moved quickly toward the door in front of them.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open a crack, and a dark pistol emerged, firing indiscriminately.

One of the attackers was knocked down and immediately returned fire, the bullets easily piercing the expensive carved mahogany door, sending wood chips flying.

Terrified screams came from the room.

The attackers advanced to the doorway, exchanged glances and gestures, reached out from both sides to push the door, from which crimson liquid was seeping out, open a crack, and then threw in the stun grenade.

A dizzying explosion rang out from behind the door.

The attackers flung open the door, only to be met with a barrage of gunfire.

The two sides engaged in fierce fighting, with the main gate serving as the boundary, and uncontrollable screams echoed throughout the room.

Soon, everything fell silent.

The attackers entered the room and surveyed the large conference room.

The well-dressed and distinguished attendees were all panicked and hid under the tables and chairs. Women in high heels huddled together, and pot-bellied men desperately crawled under the tables, sticking their buttocks out. Bodyguards in black lay scattered nearby, and some people were hit by stray bullets during the exchange of fire and lay on the ground groaning in pain.

"Everyone from the Academy Construction and Lin's Bank, come out!" the leader of the attackers shouted.

After a brief silence, a middle-aged man with an imposing presence stood up, looked at the other party, and spoke with a strong voice, "I am Song Xuejun. Who gave you permission to do this? Do you know who these people are?"

"Song Xuejun, Chairman of Academy Construction, Director of Academy City..." The attacker pulled out a stack of photos from his pocket to confirm, then pulled out a pistol and pointed it at the middle-aged man.

"Wait, you...!"

A chilling gunshot rang out, and the middle-aged man fell to the ground, staring wide-eyed at the ceiling.

The men and women huddled on the ground screamed again.

"Quiet down. Anyone else from the school construction or Lin's Bank, come out here." The attacker said slowly, his tone like a homeroom teacher asking who hadn't finished their homework.

The conference room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was lying face down on the floor, heads bowed, as if afraid of being the next one to be shot.

"Not coming out? Then I'll check each one of you." The attacker said, signaling his men to be on guard, and then he stepped forward and pulled the people on the ground up to check them.

The first man pulled over, a refined-looking man with glasses, was dumbfounded and terrified. "I...I...I...I'm not!"

The attacker ordered his men to grab him, stare at his face to check the photo, and then waved his hand, signaling his men to throw the bespectacled man into a corner.

The bespectacled man, ignoring the fact that his glasses had fallen to the ground, covered his head with his hands and cowered in place as if granted a pardon.

The attacker checked the next person, this time another middle-aged man. The attacker quickly checked the photo, pausing midway, "Liu Yuan, Managing Director of Lin's Bank..."

The middle-aged man broke out in a cold sweat, "Just say you want money..."

The attacker didn't even look before raising his hand and pulling the trigger.

After the deafening gunshots, the middle-aged man knelt on the ground.

The attackers then searched for their next target.

Gunshots rang out intermittently in the huge conference room, and even the screams ceased. The men and women who were usually aloof and superior turned pale.

Soon, a black-haired girl who had been huddled in a corner with her hands covering her head was pulled up. She had a naturally beautiful face, her eyes were red, and her arrogant expression had not disappeared even at this moment. She scrutinized the attackers with a half-smile, "Did the Yuan family send you?"

The attacker seemed deaf, repeatedly checking the photo, "Lin Xuanqi, daughter of the chairman of Lin's Bank, director of the investment department..."

"If you dare kill me, you won't escape either." Lin Xuanqi's chest heaved violently as she glanced at the other party's pistol, her expression showing no fear.

The attacker sneered, and without hesitation, pressed his gun against the girl's forehead and pulled the trigger.

"Xuanqi!" A beautiful woman in a floral dress stood up in a daze not far away.
