In the midst of the crisis, time seemed to drag on indefinitely. Gao Yang wanted to check the time, but realized that his left arm wasn't quite obeying him. Only then did he remember he'd been shot in the left shoulder.
Resting his left hand on his right wrist, Gao Yang glanced at the time, only to discover they had been trapped in the jewelry store for fifteen minutes. At this point, Ivan's surgery had also been underway for about eleven or twelve minutes. However, Ivan's people had yet to arrive.
