No one knew how a perfectly normal mall suddenly ended up with masked gunmen inside. Those men were tall and burly, guns in hand; the moment the shop assistants saw them, they were scared stupid!
"Go grab a few women, use them as hostages."
Someone spoke, and two of the armed robbers stepped forward to seize people.
A few of the salesgirls were scared out of their wits on the spot, some even dropped straight to their knees.
"Don't take me!"
"I'm just a wage-earner! I'm begging you, don't take me!"
"If you're going to take hostages, you should grab customers with status, right?!"
One salesgirl stuck out a trembling finger, pointing toward the stockroom. "I–inside, someone's hiding in there, that's from the Beijing Hou Family, it's the Hou family's eldest miss!"
In a moment of crisis, at the edge of life and death, people's selfishness shows itself just like that.
As long as they themselves can survive, that's enough.
