Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 423

The shop assistant took it anyway.

Then she gave Summer five yuan in change with a wooden smile and said, "Here you are. Welcome next time."

Summer took the money and caught a glimpse that the shop assistant had touched her ear.

The assistant was a short-haired young girl and Summer saw something was stuffed in her ear.

Summer thought of that when she had entered the mall, there was not many people...

Summer suddenly felt uneasy.

She glanced at the assistant again, turned around and hurried out.

When she had entered the mall, there had been a few people outside.

But as she came out of the bakery, she found it was unusually quiet in the mall.

Summer went to take the escalator down to the first floor.

Just as she stood on it, she heard the elevator door open behind her.

The elevator was near the escalator.

Summer turned her head subconsciously and saw a man dressed in black walk out of the elevator to the escalator.

The black-clothed man saw Summer, too.

He was wearing a peaked cap. Summer could not see his expression clearly, but she could feel that he was looking at her.

Summer got a strong sense of discomfort.

She looked around and found the surroundings were quiet.

It was bright in the mall, but there was not a single person.

She remembered that in the bakery just now, the girl who didn't look like a shop assistant seemed to have been urging her to leave quickly.

And according to her cautious appearance, she probably was a policewoman!

The shopping mall was so quiet that it must have been cleared.

They must have been clearing the place when she had come in.

She wrote suspense plays and was no stranger to such a situation.

It should be for security reasons when such a crowded mall was cleared.

Either a celebrity or a criminal came.

In spite of the thoughts flashing through, Summer remained calm.

She held the cake in one hand and put the other on the belt. The black-clothed man behind maintained the same posture as her on the escalator.

The man was either a policeman or the criminal.

The escalator arrived at the first floor.

Summer got off the escalator, pretending to look back at the man inadvertently.

That man was still on the escalator and he did not seem to be in a hurry. Just as Summer was about to turn around, the black-clothed man took off the peaked cap and grinned at her.

He looked gloomy and crazy with that smile.

Summer was scared. She took a few steps forward and began to run towards the entrance of the mall.

It was very spacious on the first floor and the escalator was very far from the entrance. It seemed that no matter how fast she ran, there was always such a long distance from the entrance.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the mall, "Dylan Saunders, you are surrounded now. Stay right where you are!"

Summer looked up just to find that there were so many policemen around.

The man shouted, "Go to hell!"

Summer felt as if the man was shouting beside her. She turned around and saw that the man had taken off his coat and there were explosives all over his body.

Seeing Summer turn around, the man fiercely said, "So what if you have evacuated the crowd? See? There's a beauty left behind. It's worth it!"

He then stretched out to pull the thread...
