"OMG, there’s a shooting in the mall!"
"Soone got shot, oh God, what should we do?"
The 4S store was in chaos.
Jiang Nuan, clutching her dog with an anxious expression, fumbled in her bag for a long ti before finally pulling out her phone. She looked at the chaotic crowd on the street across, who were being hit by gunfire, and dialed the local police.
"Hello, is this the police station? There’s a gunman at Mahali Shopping Mall. About eight civilians have been shot, and many people are running outside. So far, we’ve only identified one shooter, but there might be accomplices, and we don’t know what’s happening inside the mall. Please send soone imdiately, and bring ambulances as well."
She briefly summarized the situation to the panicked store staff, "We won’t be washing cars for now. Find a safe place to hide. I’ve called the police, they’ll be here soon."
The staff had been scared senseless, but seeing an Asian custor calmly giving orders, they glanced at each other and instinctively decided to follow her lead.
"There’s a room inside where we can hide."
"I’ll go close the door."
"I’ll take bottled water inside."
Bang bang!
The gunfire outside continued without pause.
Inside the 4S store, however, the evacuation of employees and custors was orderly.
So custors, fearing the gunfight might spread across the street, drove off despite the risk, while most stayed hidden inside the 4S store, waiting for the police to arrive.

Flight KU98765 landed safely at Mahali Airport, with brilliant sunlight pouring in through the airport glass, illuminating the exit. Among a group of blond, blue-eyed foreigners, an Asian face stood out, his features striking with sharp angles. His slender phoenix eyes were half-closed, sunlight catching on his high nose and slightly touching his rosy lips, handso to an astonishing degree.
Humans may have national boundaries, but clearly, there’s no boundary in the appreciation of beauty!
As he walked out, he attracted quite a few glances, including many from those blond, blue-eyed foreign won who were secretly eyeing him.
Fu Yi took off his sunglasses and replaced them with his usual gold-rimd glasses, perched on his nose, just as he was about to head out.
Coincidentally, he glanced up and saw the airport’s large-screen news.
"At exactly 1 PM local ti, a shooting incident occurred at Mahali Seth Mall. The gunman was indiscriminately shooting at people in the mall. According to police, a witness reported 8 people had been shot. It’s uncertain if there are any fatalities. The scene has been taken over by the assailant, with hundreds of civilians trapped inside. Police are on their way to the scene. People are advised to avoid the area, and those nearby should leave the danger zone promptly..."
The LED screen was playing a video recorded by a phone, showing people running everywhere. The caraman’s hand was shaking, making it impossible to see the situation clearly, only that chaos reigned, with people fleeing in all directions.
Fu Yi felt an inexplicable twitch in his brow, unable to pinpoint his unease, but it surged within him.
He walked to the roadside and pulled out his phone to call ho in Mahali.
Soon the ho phone was answered.
"Hello, this is Mr. Fu’s residence."
"It’s ."
"Sir?" The housekeeper’s voice was filled with surprise and delight, "Are you coming back, sir?"
Fu Yi lowered his gaze. The airport here wasn’t affected, and the airport road was lined with all sorts of shuttle vehicles.
He could easily wave down one to stop if he wanted to go.
