"Is this a new male celebrity? Very good looking!" Gianna spoke as if she was experiencing an exhilarating romantic excitement as she stared intently at w.a.n.g Yuvin"s photo in her hand. "Give me that!" The man tried to s.n.a.t.c.h the photo away from Gianna"s hand. However, Gianna had antic.i.p.ated the man"s reaction so she managed to quickly move her hand away from him.
Not wanting the man to get w.a.n.g Yuvin"s photo back when he attempts to grab it the second time, she impulsively slid it insider her blouse.
"Fool!" The man yelled as he stood there with his face red and distorted by anger. He was about to seize Gianna by the hair but the security personnel of the condominium arrived and surrounded them.
"Madam, please endure some more. The ambulance is on its way." One of the guards turned to the elderly woman and did not dare move her.
"What exactly happened here? We need someone to come with us to give us a short narrative about the incident." Asked the other guard as he fixed his portable two way radio.
"Me! I will tell you everything!" Gianna saw this as an opportunity for an effective and immediate escape, thus she volunteered herself as fast as she could.
Without asking any further questions, Gianna was escorted to the office by one of the guards right away. But before she left with the security personnel, she threw a quick scornful look at the helpess man who can"t do anything to get w.a.n.g Yuvin"s photo back.
"What do you think are you doing? Don"t you know how to lielow for a bit?" The man who seemed to be the leader approached from behind and asked his member.
"That b.i.t.c.h stole the photo of our target!" The man hissed as he balled his hands into fists.
"Don"t worry, I already saved a copy of the photo in my phone memory. Let us just get back at that nosy strawberry blonde girl after we get rid of the target." Another of the three guys persuaded him to have his revenge some other time.
The man then agreed with his companions. The four of them were about to leave but a few security personnel surrounded them and prevented them from fleeing the scene.
"We cannot let you leave gentlemen. We have to finish the investigation first. Kindly wait at the corner of the lobby for a while."
"Why do you have to fuss over such trivial matter? What happened was an accident, besides that old woman didn"t die, right?" Asked the man who seemed to be the gang"s leader.
"Accident or not, we are still about to find that out. Please cooperate with us so the management need not to call the cops."
Though the four men were stewing in anger, they had no choice but to comply. The remaining security personnel then accompanied them to the corner of the condo"s lobby where they were forced to wait for the investigation to finish.
Meanwhile inside the security office...
"Thank you for cooperating with us, ma"am. Can you please tell us more about the commotion earlier?" The security personnel politely asked Gianna.
"No problem. It is my pleasure to help. Hmm... Let"s see... From what I can recall, the four men wearing black leather jackets seemed to be in a rush." Gianna spoke calmly.
"You mean to say that, since they were in a hurry, the last guy to step out of the elevator did not notice the old lady and b.u.mped into her?" Asked the security personnel.
"Yup. That was probably what happened. An accident." Gianna replied, she then paused for a second before she spoke again, " But I was wondering why the guy who b.u.mped into the old lady carried my friend"s photo with him."
The security personnel furrowed his brows, "What exactly do you mean by that ma"am?" He asked.
Gianna stood up and turned her body away from the personnel. She then quickly pulled w.a.n.g Yuvin"s crumpled photo out of her blouse. She then placed it on the table for the personnel to see.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
"The guy here in the photo is my friend. As you can see, this photo contains a candid shot of the person."
"Are you trying to tell me that those guys are shady and your friend might be their target?"
"You are right about that, sir. Can you please help me expose them?"
"Sorry, ma"am. We cannot do that. That is already beyond our control. I suggest that you call the police instead. Our jurisdiction only covers the events that take place inside the Royal Regent." The security personnel rejected Gianna"s request but she was not disappointed at all. Actually, that was the answer she expected.
"I understand. If that is the case, I need to leave now or my friend"s life will be in danger." Gianna said as she stood up and smiled bitterly at the personnel.
Looking at the sadness in Gianna"s eyes, the personnel felt bad for not being helpful. He then exhaled deeply and said,
"Alright, maybe I can atleast provide you with the copy of the CCTV to help you identify them. But please let"s keep this a secret between us or I will lose my job."
Gianna who was faking the sad look all this time, now changed her expression to genuine happiness.
"Thank you, sir! I really appreciate your help. Don"t worry, I will keep my mouth shut!" Gianna said, raising her right hand as if swearing an oath to the personnel.
Once the interview was done, the security personnel handed Gianna a SD card which she carefully placed inside her pants" pocket. She was then escorted back to the lobby where the four men were waiting for a permit to leave. As soon as they got near the four men, the person guarding them approached Gianna ang the personnel. He then asked, " What now?"
"You may tell the other three to leave now. According to the witness, what happened to the old lady was purely an accident. However, someone must still be held accountable for the victim"s injury. So, you need to get the ident.i.ty of the person who b.u.mped into the female elderly in case the old woman"s family might want to file charges against him in the future." The personnel explained to his workmate as he threw a quick glance at the group.
"I already did that. I asked for their names but they did not want to give me." The personnel in charge of keeping an eye on the group scratched his head as he reported the earlier scenario to his comrade.
"Why did you ask for all their names when you should just asked the name of the guy who hurt the old woman?" The personnel frowned, seemingly disappointed with what his workmate did.
"Never mind, I will take it from here." The personnel who accompanied Gianna decided to handle the situation. He then approached the group of guys. At first, the group was hesitant to cooperate. But when the personnel told them that they will be brought to the police station, they begun to open their mouths. Gianna did not bother with them anymore for she knew that the men would not use their real names. She then excused herself and went straight to the elevator.
