Chapter 341 Destined
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the scene became uneasy.
"I just came to a banquet, how could I be so unlucky to run into someone seeking revenge on Mr. Huo! Where on earth is Mr. Huo? Could it be that he knew someone was looking for revenge on him and went into hiding?!"
"Boss Huo is so wicked! He tricked us into coming here, and then he ran away! I even suspect this is all part of his scheme. His goal is to use this person to kill us so that the Huo family can dominate the capital!"
"You're really good at conspiracy theories. Don't forget that there's also the Xiao family in the capital. No matter how powerful the Huo family is, they can never compare to the Xiao family!"
"Woo woo woo, I don't know anything. I want to leave. I don't want to die yet!"
…
Amidst the chorus of voices cursing Huo Yunting, someone suddenly raised their voice and said, "Chen Cheng! You are Chen Cheng!"
Chen Cheng was the former president of the Chen Group. Before the Chen Group went bankrupt, it was one of the eight major families in Beijing. Later, when competing with Huo Yunting in business, because of a wrong decision, the entire Chen Group collapsed like a domino, and the Chen family has disappeared in Beijing since then.
However, in the capital, people go bankrupt every day, and people rise every day. At the beginning, the fall of the Chen family was talked about by people, but later, few people remembered that there was such a family in the capital.
Chen Cheng didn't expect that someone would recognize him. He sneered and said, "Yes, two years ago, Huo Tianyi destroyed my family. Now he has transformed himself into a new rich man in Beijing. When my parents died, they couldn't even afford a piece of land for a grave. To this day, their ashes can only be kept at home. I want Huo Yunting to pay the price!"
Seeing his crazy look, everyone was shocked.
"Chen Cheng, you've seen it too. Huo Yunting isn't here right now. Even if you kill the hostage you're holding, it's useless. Your deceased parents are pitiful, but isn't this innocent woman you're holding hostage any less pitiful? Let her go first..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Chen Cheng's cold voice.
"Haha, if I let her go, you'll immediately call the security to take me away. Do you think I'm a fool?"
Just as he finished speaking, someone suddenly pointed at Xiao Muzhen who was standing by the door and said, "Chen Cheng, every wrong has its perpetrator. Although Huo Yunting is not here, his girlfriend is here. Even if you want to hold someone hostage, you should hold his girlfriend hostage. Only then will Huo Yunting come out!"
Suddenly everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Muzhen, and most people's eyes were filled with anger. After all, they just came to attend a banquet, but now they might lose their lives.
"That's right! You should arrest her! I heard that Huo Yunting's deceased ex-wife was her biological sister, and now she's hooking up with her brother-in-law. A woman like that would have been thrown into a pig cage in ancient times!"
"Haha, seeing how slutty she is dressed, I know she's not someone who will stay quiet!"
"I also support arresting her to threaten Huo Yunting!"
"Are you crazy?! Aren't you afraid that Huo Yunting will cause trouble for you?!"
"You're almost dead, why would you care if he causes trouble?!"
Xiao Muzhen looked at these people who were making a fuss with a cold expression, especially the woman who first called for her to be handed over. If she remembered correctly, she was the youngest daughter of the Zhao family in Beijing.
She is the most vengeful person and will not let go of anyone who plotted against her.
Although I don't know if she looks very similar to Miss Chi, looking at the looks of these people, they won't let me go if I don't agree to exchange with that woman.
The corners of her mouth curled up into a smile, and she slowly said: "Okay, I can exchange with the person on the stage, but I have one condition."
"What conditions?"
"I want her to come with me."
While speaking, Xiao Muzhen pointed at Zhao Mingyue, the youngest daughter of the Zhao family.
Zhao Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then angrily said: "Why are you going to die and dragging me along with you!"
The smile on Xiao Muzhen's lips turned cold, "So you also know that you are going to die?"
Zhao Mingyue: “…”
She bit her lower lip and said, "This was originally caused by your boyfriend. Do you want us to die with you?!"
Zhao Mingyue's words were recognized by many people, and they began to jump out to accuse Xiao Muzhen.
"That's right, Huo Yunting spent a lot of the dirty money he earned on you! Now that something's happened, why should we be the scapegoats?"
"Exactly. I think she's just like Huo Yunting, both have evil hearts!"
"Hurry up and get on stage to replace us, or don't blame us for using other methods!"
The so-called other methods seemed to be to forcibly grab her and send her to the stage to replace her.
Xiao Muzhen raised her eyebrows and suddenly ran towards the balcony. By the time everyone reacted, she had already rushed to the window.
"If you don't agree, I'm going to jump right down from here, and you'll all die."
After knowing what she was going to do, everyone started to curse.
"You are so shameless! You actually threaten us in this way!"
"How could there be such a vicious person, seeking death himself and dragging someone else down with him!"
"If I can get away alive, I will definitely expose this woman!"
Despite the scolding from others, Xiao Muzhen's expression remained unchanged. He simply raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you made up your mind? If so, tell me your decision. I'll give you three minutes. If you can't make up your mind, I'll jump right in."
Zhao Mingyue sneered, "Chi Xuan, you are really vicious, but we will never be threatened by you. If you dare to jump, then jump!"
Xiao Muzhen smiled slightly, turned around and was about to jump out of the window.
Suddenly, something unexpected happened.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the chandelier above the banquet hall suddenly exploded, and then a strong smell of gunpowder filled the banquet hall.
"Let's see who dares to leave! If you dare to jump, I will detonate all the bombs immediately!"
Chen Cheng's voice was full of madness. If everyone had doubts before about whether he had installed the bomb, now they all believed it, and their faces were pale with fear.
Xiao Muzhen smiled and said, "I'm going to die whether I dance or not, so why should I go on stage and be threatened by you? If Miss Zhao doesn't go on stage with me, I won't go."
Seeing that there was no nervousness in Xiao Muzhen's eyes and she spoke calmly when asking her to go up with her, Zhao Mingyue was almost furious and wanted to go up and tear her mouth apart immediately.
However, people are selfish and no one dares to gamble with their lives. Those who had just stood on Zhao Mingyue's side turned around and began to persuade her.
"Miss Zhao, why don't you go on stage with her? When President Huo comes over later, we will definitely ask Chen Cheng to release you first!"
"That's right. If this stalemate continues, all of us might die here."
"Anyway, it was you who first revealed that she was Huo Yunting's girlfriend, so we decided to let her replace the person on the stage. You have ulterior motives!"
Zhao Mingyue was almost pissed off and gritted her teeth, "No matter what, I won't be a hostage!"
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Xiao Muzhen's eyes. "I didn't realize that Miss Zhao cherishes her life so much. But your life is life, but other people's lives are not life?"
Zhao Mingyue gritted her teeth and looked at her, "Do you have any shame?! This matter was originally caused by your boyfriend. If you don't solve it, who will?!"
"So, if your father breaks the law, shouldn't you go to jail with him?"
