Chapter 1326: Chapter 1322 Dark Organization Siege 1
Qiao Xiaren wore a mask, but no sunglasses, with her hands in her pockets as she walked out. As long as she kept her head slightly lowered, basically no one would inexplicably stare at her.
She didn’t quite understand those celebrities who wrapped themselves up like a zongzi when going out. Wearing a mask on the street was relatively common; wrapping oneself up so tightly just attracted attention, so it would be strange not to get noticed.
As she was about to climb the stairs after passing through a corridor, Qiao Xiaren received a text message from a stranger with a Capital number: “Run, it seems someone has their eye on you!”
Someone has their eye on her?
Who?
Qiao Xiaren put her phone back, looked around, and continued to walk unhurriedly in that direction. Her mind began to spin rapidly. She had offended no small number of people, but as for those who would want her dead, she couldn’t think of anyone at the moment.
There were still many people in the mall at this time. Qiao Xiaren’s heart inexplicably tightened, but she remained calm on the outside, observing the people and things around her as she walked.
To passersby, she was just an ordinary person shopping.
The crowd was bustling; people brushed past her noisily and lively. At this moment, Qiao Xiaren saw a few reckless men wandering around, seemingly looking for someone.
They were Asian, with somewhat sinister looks.
Qiao Xiaren didn’t yet know that these individuals were internationally ranked assassins.
Thankfully, she had put on a mask earlier.
Qiao Xiaren remained unflustered, calmly following a few women discussing bags toward the security exit, planning to leave.
But just as she was about to approach the safety passage, a piercing gunshot suddenly rang out in the mall, as though it could pierce eardrums, erupting with a terrifying sound throughout the entire mall.
The women still shopping in the mall finally snapped back to reality, followed by endless screams. To them, a shootout in this relatively peaceful era was an almost catastrophic event.
“Oh my God, what on earth is happening?”
“Heavens!”
Who would have thought that on such an ordinary day, such a dreadful thing would occur.
Dozens of burly men suddenly rushed out of a security passageway, adeptly surrounding everyone on the first floor, forming a circle in no time.
“Everyone shut up!”
The man in the center impatiently fired a shot upwards: “Everyone, crouch down with your heads held!”
The men and women originally fled, hugging their heads, but now upon hearing the command, instinctively crouched down, trembling. Qiao Xiaren didn’t move, reaching out to tear off the mask from her face.
The inevitable had come.
This group immediately noticed Qiao Xiaren and suddenly shot at her.
Qiao Xiaren spun in mid-air, dodging one shot, barely avoiding another shot from the other direction.
In an instant, the whole scene turned into a hellscape of flying bullets.
“Ah…”
The screams of women rang out; they scattered and fled, the entire mall plunged into a horrific atmosphere of panic. Bullets hit, causing debris to fly and miscellaneous objects to fall with a crashing sound.
The whole scene was chaotic and disordered.
The leader in the center carefully identified the features of the woman, gesturing to stop his subordinates from firing another shot: “That’s our target!”
Originally wanting to interrogate the women one by one to find the target, but unexpectedly, this woman was so defiant, tearing off her mask herself.
It seems she takes herself too seriously.
