Inside Shen's father and mother's room, everyone sat in the spacious suite, looking at each other, some whispering softly.
Seeing everyone gathered, Shen Huaijin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, everyone was cooperative; otherwise, he wouldn't have known what to do.
Mo Chen had also arrived. Seeing that everyone was present, he said directly, "There was a small accident. To ensure everyone's personal safety, you will all follow me now!"
After speaking, Mo Chen immediately turned and walked out. Shen Huaijin also signaled for everyone to follow quickly.
The crowd didn't know what had happened, but seeing the serious expressions on Shen Huaijin and Mo Chen's faces, they knew it was no small matter. They had often seen on the news that public safety abroad was very poor and that there were frequent terrorist attacks on civilians. Seeing their urgency, they assumed it must be due to such incidents.
They were on the 6th floor of the castle, which had a total of nine floors. Therefore, their floor was neither too high nor too low. Due to the large number of people, one elevator was not enough. They had to split into two groups to take the elevator downstairs in turns.
Since it was still night, not many people were using the elevators. Otherwise, it would have been faster to walk than to wait for the elevator.
Shen Huaijin was in the first group to go downstairs, intending to prevent everyone from running around. Just as the elevator was about to arrive, Shen Huaijin's heart suddenly began to pound.
The automatically opening doors, which had been tightly shut, were now open. As soon as they opened, a large group of burly men appeared. Each of them was wearing a standard tight-fitting outfit and had weapons at their waists.
"Ding."
Mo Chen's group also arrived downstairs. Although they tried to be as quiet as possible, the sound of the elevator arriving still attracted the attention of those men. They all turned their gaze towards the elevator, their faces filled with anger, just like the gangsters they had seen on television.
Many who had never witnessed such a scene instinctively shrank back, trying their best not to be seen.
"What are you doing! Why are so many people together!" one of the burly men shouted.
Mo Chen swiped his electronic key card to open the side door, and a heavy mechanical sound immediately echoed. At the same time, Mo Chen quickly said, "Hurry, everyone get inside!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a "bang" gunshot sounded, and a large vase next to the side door instantly exploded. The sudden noise caused everyone to cry out in terror. Mo Chen and Shen Huaijin, disregarding everything else, rushed to push the crowd into the side door.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Clang clang clang!"
Gunshots and the sounds of metal striking were incessant.
"Ah!"
As Shen Ge was also helping his brother and Mo Chen to get everyone into the side door, his entire body was exposed. Shen Ge was shot in the arm by those people, and blood immediately gushed out. Fortunately, Shen Ge, Shen Huaijin, and Mo Chen were the last three to enter.
Just as that group of people rushed forward with their guns, everyone had entered the side door. Mo Chen quickly swiped his card from the inside. A loud mechanical sound was heard, and the side door slammed shut heavily.
The moment the side door closed, all the sounds were cut off. Only the heavy breathing of those inside the side door could be heard.
"What's going on! What exactly happened!" Shen's mother looked at Shen Huaijin in terror, then rushed to Shen Ge's side. Shen Ge's arm was bleeding profusely from being shot, which looked particularly gruesome. Seeing her son so severely injured, Shen's mother was immensely heartbroken but also helpless.
"Those people are terrorists. Mo Chen and I received the news in advance, so we quickly brought you all down," Shen Huaijin explained.
Upon hearing that they were terrorists, everyone felt a lingering fear. Fortunately, they had left quickly; otherwise, they wouldn't have known what would have happened.
"This place is the most secure part of the entire castle. We will continue to go further down. An air-raid shelter has been built below. The air-raid shelter underground can withstand a magnitude ten earthquake. All the materials used are the strongest bulletproof materials, and there is plenty of food and everything inside. We just need to wait for rescue here," Mo Chen's words were like a calming balm, relieving everyone's anxious hearts.
Fortunately, among their group, there was a surgeon. After finding the first-aid kit in the air-raid shelter, he treated Shen Huaijin's arm wound. It was also fortunate that the bullet had not remained lodged inside, otherwise, even as a surgeon, he would not have dared to remove it without proper conditions.
After Shen Ge's wound was treated, Mo Chen led everyone slowly inside. They saw that the once tall side door gradually became smaller as they walked, as if entering a tunnel. After walking for a while, they finally reached the air-raid shelter. There were many openings dug out next to the tunnel inside. Although the openings were not very large, they could accommodate several people at once.
"Wait! Where is Yao Yao? Why isn't she here!" Shen's mother finally realized someone was missing. Her daughter was not here!
