Just as Wang Zhanting had predicted, before Shao Weihua could even step out, someone came knocking.
A burst of gunfire erupted, leaving no time to hide. The door of the inn was kicked open, and several masked men stormed in from outside, their hands wielding guns. In silence, they searched the rooms.
Wang Zhanting had just gotten out of the car when he heard the gunfire, and he immediately ducked his head, hiding in the vehicle while peeking at the inn. He hadn't expected the opposition to come so quickly; he wondered if Shao Weihua was still alive.
The inn was considered near the bustling downtown area, and after hearing the gunshots, someone reported to the police. In Palermo, such incidents of armed intrusion occur frequently, so no one would be too startled. It could easily be associated with an assassination activity among some gang factions.
