While the crowd was panicking and arguing with the security staff to open the door, Shen Yi Nian heard heavy footsteps behind her.
Her body tensed when she saw a group of men in their bulletproof vest and a gun around their waist.
The crowd who was making some noise earlier began to quieten down when they saw the word, 'Police' written on the men's vest.
The leader of the policemen walked to the security staff to speak a few words.
After a while, the leader turned to the crowd and spoke in a low but clear voice: "Alright, listen up. I know that everyone is worried right now, but you can rest assured. This place is now under the authorities' control. We will take everyone to safety."
The crowd started to whisper again but none of them dared to make too much noise.
"The security knows another way for everyone to leave the place," the leader said. "Follow their instructions and leave this place quietly. You will be safe."
