Schwimmer ready to empty the Showroom

A few minutes ago.

The monitoring room.

The four people assigned to sit opposite Xu Mo to prevent him from stealing the sapphire were playing PUBG.

Suddenly, the monitoring room went pitch black.

The lights in the room went out.

Even the monitoring screens suddenly disappeared.

The only light sources in the room were the four people's cell phones.

"What's going on? Power outage?"

"I don't know, let me go out and take a look."

Opening the door of the monitoring room, Gao Liming found that it was also pitch black outside.

The only light sources were the emergency lighting.

Of the four, the most quick-witted was him.

Looking at the pitch dark outside, Gao Liming suddenly had a sense of foreboding.

"Looks like something happened!"

"At most it's just a circuit failure, what could happen? I'll call someone to come fix it now," said Zhang Wenrui indifferently. For this rich second generation, any problem that could be solved with money was not considered a problem.

Before he could even make the call, he suddenly seemed to remember something.

"No, isn't there a diesel generator here as backup? You guys go find it," Zhang Wenrui said to the few employees he had hired to watch the monitors in shifts in the monitoring room.

Just then, the walkie-talkie on the table suddenly rang.

"Bro Hao, there's a fire. People in the exhibition hall are all lining up to evacuate. You guys should get out too!"

Wang Hao: "???"

Fire?

The four looked at each other, dumbfounded.

What do you mean fire? Out of nowhere?

But this was no time to be wondering about things.

After all, fire was no joke.

"What are you staring for? Run!" Without even thinking, Zhang Wenrui immediately followed the emergency lighting to run out.

Gao Liming, Zhao Tianyi, and Wang Hao also did not hesitate and immediately followed Zhang Wenrui's footsteps out of the monitoring room.

Accompanying them out were also the few employees who had been hired to watch the monitors in the monitoring room.

Following the path illuminated by the emergency lights, they arrived at the exhibition hall from the monitoring room.

At this time, people were evacuating in an orderly manner.

Their group joined the back of the evacuating crowd.

"Where's the fire? I don't see any," Gao Liming frowned.

All the way here, he had not seen any fire source or smelled anything burning.

"You asking what for?" Zhang Wenrui snapped at him, "Exhibition hall is huge, not just monitoring room and exhibition hall. What if it's the bathroom or electrical room on fire? Anyway just run, life first."

That's what he said.

But Gao Liming kept feeling something was off.

He was very uneasy.

He was even wondering if this incident had anything to do with Xu Mo.

The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed.

He voiced his guesses.

"What do you think, could this be Xu Mo causing trouble?"

As soon as he said this, he was immediately refuted by the other three.

"Impossible. Xu Mo may be gutsy but he wouldn't dare set fire here. Stealing is one thing but arson..." In case of any casualties, no one could cover for him!"

"That's right, Xu Mo is not dumb. He wouldn't do something so stupid."

"What if?" Gao Liming insisted on his view: "I didn't say Xu Mo was daring enough to set fire. I mean is it possible this chaos was orchestrated by Xu Mo?"

After a pause, Gao Liming continued, "I just feel something fishy about this."

"Just set your mind at ease, absolutely nothing will happen," Zhang Wenrui said.

Wang Hao chimed in after him, "Even if this chaos really is related to Xu Mo, so what? I believe he has the ability to create chaos but can he take the gem away?"

At this point, Wang Hao paused and lowered his voice to add one more sentence: "You forgot where the real gem is?"

"That's what I think too. Right now the priority is to get out first. As for whether this chaos is related to Xu Mo, we can talk about it after getting out. In case it's really fire instead of related to Xu Mo, we wouldn't be able to escape if we don't go now," Zhao Tianyi also tapped Gao Liming lightly on the shoulder twice to reassure him at this time.

Gao Liming's concerns were gradually dispelled.

Right, even if this chaos was related to Xu Mo.

He absolutely could not take the gem.

After all... the gem was in the safe in the monitoring room.

That safe was bought at great expense by these two rich second generations, Zhang Wenrui and Zhao Tianyi.

Without the key and password, no one could open that safe, not even with explosives.

The only thing Xu Mo could do was steal the entire safe.

But that was even more impossible.

Xu Mo could not possibly carry that safe away.

Even if he could lift it, the security at the exhibition would not just let Xu Mo leave carrying a safe.

Most importantly.

Xu Mo did not even know about the existence of this safe.

Let alone know...

The gem being showcased in the middle of the exhibition hall was fake. The real gem was actually inside the safe in the monitoring room.

The gem was absolutely safe.

Not just Xu Mo, even if the master thief Jiang Yang came he could not steal the gem.

The four's conversation was heard in full by a man in front of them.

The man frowned, as if pondering something.

Then he pretended to look flustered checking his pockets.

In a very soft voice, he muttered to himself, "Phone... where is it..."

Then this man turned and looked towards the bathroom.

His eyes were full of struggle.

It seemed like his phone was left in the bathroom.

He appeared to be debating whether to go to the bathroom to retrieve his phone.

After thinking it over, the man finally gritted his teeth.

And ran towards the bathroom.

The man quickly disappeared from the illumination of the emergency lights, vanishing into the darkness.

Seeing this, Zhang Wenrui couldn't help but sneer coldly.

"Idiot. Nowadays there are all kinds of people. Money over life, it's just a damn phone, how much could it be worth, still fucking running back for it? Burn to death, bastard."

His words did catch others' attention.

Unlike him, the others did not mock the man, but tried to dissuade him from doing something foolish.

"It's time like this and you still care about your phone? Life first!"

"Bro, come back, can a phone be more valuable than your life?"

"Are you crazy? How much could a phone be worth?"

But the man did not respond at all.

Gradually no one was yelling anymore.

Hard to advise those bent on death.

...

After people evacuated the exhibition hall in order.

They did not leave.

But gathered at the entrance.

Wanting to find out if there really was a fire, and if so how it started.

Spectating is human nature after all.

In the crowd, Zhou Qiaoqiao suddenly received a message from Xu Mo.

Seeing this message, Zhou Qiaoqiao was slightly startled.

Not only did Xu Mo still not come out.

He even messaged her to help create some commotion to attract everyone's attention?

What else was he trying to pull?

Don't tell me he was planning to ransack the exhibition hall!
