Chapter 171 [Quantum Fund, Hotel Crisis]
There was a loud bang.
The huge fluorescent screen of the skyscraper fell, causing violent riots in the crowd. Thrilling screams exploded from the crowd, and the terrified crowd flew out like exploded debris.
Immediately afterwards, a hot wave rushed out of the middle of the building. With a shocking loud noise, the thick smoke rose into the air like a covered sandstorm. The building began to shatter and moaned weakly.
Amid the horrified eyes of countless people, large patches of concrete fell from the air, like meteors in the sky, and smashed into the ground with a rumbling sound, smashing the originally neat concrete floor into one deep pit after another.
The earth began to tremble unconsciously, and the dust filled the air, as if even the air was quiet at this moment.
In the crowd in the distance, everyone looked at all this in disbelief. Someone was trembling and watching the skyscraper collapse. He stood there as if he was stunned. It took him a long time to scream.
"My God, the building collapsed!"
"Call 911!"
"Call the police quickly!"
"My God, what's wrong with Las Vegas?"
Panic!
All those who witnessed the collapse of the building began to panic. They took out their cell phones to call the police, but after calling again and again, the other end of the phone was always busy.
At this moment, I don’t know how many people called the police, which directly caused the police station’s phone to be in an unprecedented state of busyness!
...
In the conference room on the top floor of a building in New York, it was late at night, but there were still a group of people sitting here.
An old man with white hair and beard said: "Mr. White, of course I believe in your Quantum Fund, but how do you guarantee that the stock market will fall sharply tomorrow? You must know that the stock market has been in a rising state now, and everyone knows that the stock market will not fall in the short term."
"Mr. Tom said it right. The stock market has been rising now. Everyone knows that it is impossible to fall in the short term, but who can predict what will happen tomorrow?"
Mr. White said with a smile: "I like watching Forrest Gump very much, and I especially like the sentence: Life is like a box of chocolate, you will never know what the next one tastes. But..."
As soon as he changed his voice, Mr. White said, "But you are all smart people, and life is unpredictable, but chocolate can have a way to know its taste."
As he said that, he took out a remote control and turned on the projector behind him.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a shocking noise came from the projector, and the scene of the far-off Las Vegas explosion appeared on the screen.
"This is a shocking explosion that happened in Las Vegas just now. I don't know what happened, but when my subordinates reported this to me, I knew it was an opportunity. In the past year, the stock market has been on a rising state, and a large amount of funds have poured into the stock market. I think it's already the season to harvest!"
With a click, Mr. White, who was sitting in the chair, turned off the projector, turned around and looked at the people who were still in shock, and smiled and said, "How about you? Do you believe in the ability of our organization? Next, I hope everyone will be able to short the stock market tomorrow morning."
Everyone in the conference room looked at each other and saw the greed in each other's eyes.
"Can!"
"no problem!"
"Sell it with all your might!"
Listening to their affirmation, a hint of undetectable smile streaked across the corner of Mr. White's mouth.
...
Las Vegas.
At this moment, this city never sleeps in an unprecedented panic.
A large number of police cars and ambulances were rushing on the streets, and countless ordinary tourists and citizens had to rush back to their hotels or homes. Some people had planned to leave this chaotic city as soon as possible.
When the building collapsed, in a guest room on the tenth floor of the Grand Grand Hotel in Paris, Gu Ren looked at the group of masked people rushing upstairs, frowned deeply. While he was thinking about what to do next, a shocking explosion suddenly sounded.
When I looked up, I saw a raging flames emerging from the middle of a hundred-meter-high skyscraper in the distance. The rolling flames were like a fire snake that began to gradually devour the rest of the building.
Before Gu Ren could react to what happened, the next scene completely stunned him!
"Crash" accompanied by a shocking sound of earth, this 100-meter-high skyscraper began to collapse.
“What happened outside?”
Dominica, behind her, walked over quickly. Before Gu Ren could speak, she saw the scene of the building collapsed in the distance through the floor-to-ceiling window. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and said in surprise: "What's going on?"
"I don't know, but your plan may be in trouble!"
Gu Ren frowned and did not look at the collapsed building in the distance, but looked at the six or seven vans parked downstairs.
Dominica frowned and said, "What does it mean?"
Gu Ren said in surprise: "You didn't hear it just now?"
Dominica shook her head: "No, I was just calling."
"There are a group of people downstairs, probably Siphon's subordinates or people from terrorist organizations."
As he said that, Gu Ren said what had just happened.
Dominica was startled first, and then she didn't know what she thought of. Her brown eyes gradually became brighter, and she narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "I have a new idea!"
Looking at the mysterious Dominica, Gu Ren raised an eyebrow.
...
With a clang!
Two masked men kicked open the door of the guest room with rifles, pointed the gun at a terrified couple inside and shouted, "Put up the clothes!"
After a few dozen seconds of rustling, two masked men pressed the man and the woman toward the platform on the top floor of the hotel.
This scene happened simultaneously on all floors of the hotel.
This was Siph's idea. The helicopter will have half an hour to come. In order to avoid being surrounded by the police next time, they must have sufficient hostages to ensure that the police will not choose to attack.
Soon, two masked terrorists came to the tenth floor of the hotel.
The two walked directly through the nearest rooms and walked towards the front rooms. They had already controlled the front desk downstairs and could easily obtain all registered customer information, knowing that there are people in that room and no one in that room.
Bain pointed to a row of rooms on the right and said, "Gree, you start from the right."
"clear."
After saying that, Gree walked to the first room on the right and violently kicked the door open with her feet. As the guests screamed, she dragged the other person's hair and pulled the person out.
Time passed little by little, and before I knew it, most of the guests on the tenth floor had been forcibly dragged out.
At this time, more than a dozen guests in the aisle were squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, and honestly did not dare to move at all.
Bain looked at these people and said to Gree: "Take them upstairs first, and leave the rest to me."
Gree pulled the bolt away with a click and shouted at the hostages squatting on the ground: "Get up, go to the top of the building!"
As the crowd gradually walked towards the roof from the safety passage, Bain quickly walked to the last room. Looking at the closed door, he had a breath and was about to kick the door open, the door was opened directly.
A black figure appeared in front of Bain. Before he could react, a sharp dagger penetrated his neck, slashed with blood, splashing on the white aisle tiles.
After quickly killing the terrorist, Gu Ren dragged his body and pulled it back to the room. After closing the door, he said to Dominica inside: "I'll change into his clothes and go up, you can do your plan."
Hearing this, Dominica nodded, quickly picked up the phone in her hand and called Anna!
