"Everyone, listen up! Sit down where you are, and don't anyone dare run or I'll kill them," a foreigner commanded in fluent Huaxia, loudly threatening them.
The people in the hall, upon hearing the threats of the criminals and seeing the guns in their hands, mostly chose to obediently squat down, their expressions filled with panic and unease, unsure of what these people intended to do. This place was a TV station, not a bank—could it be that they were planning to rob the station?
Among the crowd, Lin Xinru also squatted down with everyone else and covered her mouth tightly with her hands, worried that she wouldn't be able to keep herself from screaming out loud and thus attract the attention of the criminals.
