"Lets go" said Xiaomin to Weimo and started walking towards the exit.
Picking the shirt from the counter Xiaomin was about to suggest having some snacks when she saw a man wearing blood red coloured long coat carrying a oversized bag in a hurry going towards the centre of the mall.
Suddenly she remembered another piece of news that was broadcasted at the same time along with the breaking of military marriage.
"Serial killer caught at the Imperial mall"
"Shootout at the Imperial mall"
"No casualities in the shootout" all such headlines were constantly appearing at that time
'Yes, there was something else as well. It was a shootout.' thought Xiaomin
Looking at Xiaomin's shocked face, Weimo curled his hands around her shoulder and asked her
"What happened minmin? Is something wrong?"
Looking at Weimo, something clicked Xiaomin's mind and she quickly guestured him to bend down. Bringing her lips closer to his ear, covering the space with both of her palms, Xiaomin in a very very low voice asked "Did you bring your Gun?"
This line came as another surprise for Weimo, No one knew that he always carries gun with him. It was a custom made gun gifted to him by Xiaomin's grandfather. The special ability of that was it will never be detected in anything. All scanners will pass it as another body part. Also Weimo remembered that this was never told to anyone, and it was highly unlikely for her granfdather to tell her this.
'Another mystery to be solved' thought Weimo.
Weimo nodded with a clear shocked expression on his face making Xiaomin relieved.
"Why did you ask?" questioned Weimo.
Grabbing Weimo's hand, Xiaomin dragged him to the safest place for exit. Turning towards him she looked into his eyes and asked him "Do you trust me, weimo?"
"I do But....."
Interrupting Weimo she added.."Trust me for now, I will tell you everything at night, okay?"
Patting his shoulder she started looking around just when an announcement was made
"Xu Min, surrender yourself. We know you are here. All the exits have been closed.
Other people can exit with appropriate checking. We request people to exit the premises immediately."
Even before the announcement finished, people started running over towards the exits in a frenzy. Xiaomin and Weimo were on the third floor of the mall which was the last floor and had no exits thus preventing them from the crowd.
"Why are you standing, lets exit?" asked Weimo in an anxious tone.
Holding his hand which was ready to drag her towards the exit, Xiaomin guestered towards the common exit with her chin saying "I told you to trust me."
Just as Weimo looked at the common exit filled with numerous people a gun shot sounded.
Before Weimo could take out his gun and march forward Xiaomin caught him and spoke
"Gu Wei Mo, TRUST ME, nothing is going to happen, if you don't interfere. Stay still."
Though Weimo could not understand why Xiaomin said so, but the determination in her eyes was enough to tell him that whatever she said she was sure about it.
