"We're surrounded."
Shen Jianyi didn't feel the slightest bit of fear at the moment. Instead, she even joked like this.
Gun sighed. He thought this woman was really bold. No matter what kind of danger she faced, she could always remain calm.
Gun let out a cold snort. "Tell me, am I just unlucky to be with you?"
Hearing this, she frowned slightly. "If you don't want to be with me, you can leave anytime. I'm not forcing you."
Gun shrugged, looking indifferent. "No need. I'm here voluntarily."
"Then why did you say that!"
In this situation, the two of them could still chat and laugh. It was obvious that such a scene didn't scare them at all.
Lu Yuan became more and more curious. She got closer to Xia Liang and whispered, "Your friends are surrounded now. Aren't you going to help them?"
Xia Liang shook her head. "No need. I'll only be a burden if I go. Let's protect ourselves first."
If she guessed correctly, Shen Jianyi came to rescue them because Lu Yuan was here.
So Shen Jianyi was facing all this because of her. Xia Liang didn't have a good impression of Lu Yuan in the first place, and now she disliked her even more.
She thought Lu Yuan was just a hindrance and couldn't do anything right. She really couldn't understand why Lu Yuan had come to this banquet. Wasn't she just a beautiful but useless woman?
At this moment.
Gun suddenly said, "Do whatever you want, but don't kill anyone. I don't want your hands to get dirty."
Shen Jianyi was completely confused. What she did had nothing to do with him. They were just partners. This guy was really taking himself too seriously.
"I don't want to fight either. Otherwise..." Shen Jianyi wanted to conserve her energy because she still had to face Xu Wenji later. He was a formidable opponent, much stronger than these people.
Gun immediately understood what the woman meant and nodded.
"Okay!"
As soon as he agreed, Shen Jianyi stepped on a nearby step. She lifted her long dress. Gun's temples throbbed. He had no idea that the woman had hidden a pistol there.
Shen Jianyi moved quickly. After taking out the pistol, she put down her dress. She held the pistol with both hands, loaded it, and said, "Let's see who dares to come forward!"
In an instant, everyone stopped in their tracks. No one dared to take a step forward.
Who wasn't afraid of such a thing? It only took a second to kill someone. They were scared, so naturally they didn't dare to move.
This also brought them back to their senses. One of them looked at the blood on his hands and the injured people lying on the ground. He suddenly realized that he had done something wrong.
These people stepped back, and Shen Jianyi advanced. However, in the crowd, there was still one person who hadn't come to his senses. He rushed straight at Shen Jianyi.
Just then, Shen Jianyi quickly and accurately kicked him in the abdomen.
The man flew out and crashed into the cake tower, getting covered in cake.
"Asking for death!" Shen Jianyi said coldly.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out. Everyone thought the man was surely dead because this woman was cold - blooded. When facing an attacker, she naturally wouldn't show mercy.
At the moment of the gunshot, almost everyone closed their eyes, too scared to look.
After a few minutes of silence.
One of them slowly opened his eyes and saw that the pistol shot had missed on purpose. It had just shattered the flower on the man's head.
The petals fell on the cake. Shen Jianyi put away her pistol and turned her head. "Who else wants to give it a try? I can't guarantee that I'll miss next time."
In just a few minutes, everyone had changed from a crazy state to this calm one. They all quieted down and helped up the injured people on the ground.
Just then, the waiter came out of the room with a first - aid kit. They bandaged each other and made a decision at the same time, which was to withdraw from the auction tomorrow.
The news had just been released today, and the auction hadn't even started yet, but these people had gone crazy. It was really hard to imagine what would happen if the auction started tomorrow.
This place was really terrifying. Many people had already called their families to come and pick them up.
Because of this banquet, more than half of the people who had wanted to participate in the auction had dropped out. Most of the people left were men, and the only women were Shen Jianyi and her friends.
Now that the problem at the banquet had been solved, but three hours hadn't passed yet, they couldn't leave.
Shen Jianyi was idly playing with her pistol. No one dared to get close to her. She seemed like a killer, which also caught Lu Yuan's attention.
From the moment Shen Jianyi took out the pistol, Lu Yuan had been staring at her intently. What kind of person could take out such a thing so casually?
Xia Liang also walked over curiously. She put her hand on Shen Jianyi's shoulder and whispered in her ear, "What's going on? Where did you get the pistol?"
Shen Jianyi glanced at her but didn't answer. Instead, she turned her head, seemingly not wanting to talk to Xia Liang.
Now Shen Jianyi just wanted to go back and rest quickly. Nothing else could attract her.
Xia Liang was clinging closely to Shen Jianyi. She suddenly felt a pain in her lower abdomen, which made her remember the date. She suddenly became alert.
"Master!" Her voice was very soft, only audible to the two of them. "I think... I think I've got my period."
Shen Jianyi's eyes twitched, and she frowned slightly. They couldn't go back to the hotel now. The banquet door was tightly closed, and there was still more than an hour until the three - hour time limit was up.
But seeing Xia Liang getting more and more uncomfortable and in so much pain that she couldn't straighten up, Shen Jianyi helped her to a seat and settled her down.
"Wait for me here."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Jianyi turned around and walked towards the banquet door. Gun immediately followed when he saw this.
He took a couple of quick steps and grabbed her arm. "Where are you going?"
"Tell them to open the door."
Shen Jianyi was holding a pistol. Gun could guess that she wanted to threaten the waiter outside.
But this would surely cause trouble and might even lead to the cancellation of her auction qualification.
"You have to think this through." Gun paused. "What if your qualification is cancelled because of this?"
Shen Jianyi turned her head. She didn't care at all and was very confident instead. "Xia Liang's is mine. There's no difference between us. As long as she isn't disqualified, I can still get the chip."
