Chen Ke pushed open the glass door, and the security guard sitting at the reception desk immediately stood up, spoke in the local language he couldn't understand, and stretched out his hand in a gesture to stop him.
Chen Ke's right hand drew from behind, positioned the gun at his waist, and fired three shots, turning the guard's abdomen into a bloody mess.
The guard collapsed to the floor, blood pooling around him, convulsing in agony.
Without so much as a glance, Chen Ke stepped over the guard's body, casually firing several more shots, rendering him unrecognizable.
Chen Ke arrived at the elevator bank and pressed the button, just as a security patrol, alerted by the gunfire, was coming down from the fire escape.
They stood at the stairwell entrance, eyes darting from the corpse on the lobby floor to Chen Ke waiting for the elevator, exchanging silent glances for a few seconds.
Chen Ke raised his handgun and fired eight shots, killing all three men.
