Chapter 342 Time Bomb
What's more, she didn't even know the man named Huo Yunting.
Zhao Mingyue stared at Xiao Muzhen, her eyes seemed to want to eat her, but Xiao Muzhen just curled her lips slightly and looked at her without any fear.
The people around were still persuading Zhao Mingyue and Xiao Muzhen to go on stage together, otherwise they would all die here.
Zhao Mingyue looked at the selfish faces of those businessmen and sneered, "I can't possibly go up there. Why should I risk my life to save you, a bunch of selfish bastards?"
"Since Miss Zhao refuses, we have to use some other methods."
Zhao Mingyue's eyes flashed with panic, and she angrily said, "How dare you! Unless you are not afraid of offending the Zhao family!"
"Haha, whether or not we can walk out of here alive is unknown, so why would we care if we offend the Zhao family?"
"That's right, if you know what's good for you, go on stage with Chi Xuan. Otherwise, if we really start fighting, don't blame us if anything gets bumped or bruised!"
Just as everyone was talking, Chen Cheng detonated another bomb.
"Bang!"
A pillar in a corner of the banquet hall was blown apart, and many flying fragments hit people, causing screams to circulate.
Xiao Muzhen looked at the blown-up pillar and felt a pang of pain in his heart. This hotel is the Xiao family's property. After dealing with Chen Cheng, he must make President Huo pay for it!
At this moment, everyone didn't bother to reason with Zhao Mingyue and simply lifted her up and threw her onto the stage.
Zhao Mingyue was so frightened that her face turned pale. She wanted to run off the stage, but was blocked by someone.
"Zhao Mingyue, just stay up there!"
Xiao Muzhen found it ridiculous. When it comes to life and death, human nature is always to only care about one's own interests.
"Ms. Chi, Miss Zhao is already on stage. You should go over there by yourself, right?"
The person who spoke had a threatening tone, as if he would tie Xiao Muzhen up if she didn't go over.
Xiao Muzhen chuckled, jumped down from the windowsill, and slowly walked towards the stage.
"Of course, I always keep my word."
The crowd automatically made way for her. Xiao Muzhen looked calm, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she was not going to die, but to have fun.
Everyone's eyes fell on her, and many people began to whisper.
"Why do I feel that she looks much better than when she was with Huo Yunting before, and her face doesn't look so unnatural anymore."
"Haha, it must be your illusion. Such a cruel and ruthless woman makes me sick even if I look at her for even a second!"
"But I also think her temperament has improved a lot, and her skin seems to be a shade whiter. Could it be because I didn't look closely just now?"
Amidst the discussions of the crowd, Xiao Muzhen went on stage.
Chen Cheng said coldly to Zhao Mingyue: "Find something to tie her hands up!"
A vicious look flashed in Zhao Mingyue's eyes. After searching for a while but couldn't find anything to tie up the person, she simply pulled off the belt of her skirt, tied Xiao Muzhen's hands behind her back, and tied a knot.
She must make this bitch die here tonight!
Xiao Muzhen smiled, but a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes. Zhao Mingyue was determined to kill her.
After confirming that Xiao Muzhen was tied up, Chen Cheng said to Xiao Muzhen coldly: "Come to me yourself, otherwise I will not agree to replace you."
Xiao Muzhen turned around and was about to walk towards Chen Cheng, when suddenly Zhao Mingyue behind her pushed her hard, and her body fell straight forward. At this moment, the tip of Chen Cheng's knife was pointed at her chest!
In a flash, Xiao Muzhen's body suddenly tilted to the side.
The pain of his heavy body hitting the ground made Xiao Muzhen frown, and his disgust towards Zhao Mingyue reached its peak.
Chen Cheng naturally saw Zhao Mingyue's actions and looked at her coldly, "Do you want to die?!"
Zhao Mingyue had an innocent look on her face, but fear was in her eyes.
"I... I was too nervous just now. I didn't mean to..."
Chen Cheng ignored her and threw the woman away. He grabbed Xiao Muzhen and put the dagger across her neck.
"Go call Huo Yunting!"
…
On the other side, Huo Yunting was resting on the sofa in the lounge, his whole body exuding an aura that said "keep away from strangers".
“Boom boom boom!”
There was a knock on the door.
Huo Yunting opened his eyes and said coldly, "Come in."
Chi Xuan walked into the lounge carrying a glass of milk, her eyes full of heartache, "Yun Ting, you haven't had a good rest recently because of the celebration banquet. I'll heat up a glass of milk for you, drink it while it's hot."
"go out."
The expression on Chi Xuan's face froze. She bravely took a few steps forward and put the milk on the table.
"Yun Ting, I'm doing this for you..."
"Get out! Don't make me say it a third time!"
The coldness on his face frightened Chi Xuan, but the fact that he admitted that she was his girlfriend tonight made her bolder.
"I won't leave, I want to stay and take care of you!"
There was a hint of stubbornness in the crisp voice, and Huo Yunting opened his eyes and looked at her.
In the past few years, Chi Xuan has been imitating Chi Muzhen. It's not that he doesn't know it, but he is just too lazy to care.
After all, he really missed her. Occasionally seeing Chi Xuan's face and behavior that were becoming more and more similar to hers would give him the illusion that she was still alive. This was also the reason why he kept Chi Xuan.
However, she now seemed to have thoughts that she shouldn't have.
"I admitted you were my girlfriend at the banquet today simply because I didn't want to deal with other people forcing women on me. I hope you won't be so self-indulgent."
Chi Xuan's breath stopped and her eyes gradually turned red.
"Yun Ting, I've been by your side for three years. Do you really have no feelings for me at all?"
"You know why you stay with me."
Huo Yunting's cold words were like a slap in the face to Chi Xuan. She looked at him and spoke word by word, "I stayed with you because I love you. Isn't three years enough to prove my love for you?"
"Then your love is really cheap!"
Not wanting to waste any more time talking to her, Huo Yunting stood up and prepared to leave. Just as he reached Chi Xuan, she suddenly hugged him.
"Yun Ting, don't abandon me..."
Before he could finish his words, Huo Yunting pushed him away harshly.
Chi Xuan fell to the ground suddenly, but the pain from her body was not as great as the pain in her heart when she met his disgusted gaze.
"Put yourself in the right place, otherwise I can either let you stay with me or tell you to get out at any time!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Chi Xuan stared at his back, clutching her skirt tightly with both hands. She wouldn't give up! She had to become the wife of the CEO of Huo's!
After leaving the lounge, Huo Yunting was in a bad mood. Seeing Ke Ning walking quickly from the end of the corridor, he said coldly, "Send me back."
He drank some wine at the banquet and just now he felt like vomiting because of the smell of Chi Xuan's perfume.
"Okay, Mr. Huo."
As soon as Koning drove out of the hotel, he received a call from the hotel manager.
"Mr. Ke, something's happened! A man named Chen Cheng has planted many bombs in and around the hotel. He's now holding someone hostage in the banquet hall and wants to see Mr. Huo! Otherwise, he's going to blow up the hotel and kill everyone!"
Upon hearing this, Ke Ning's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he stopped to report the matter to Huo Yunting.
"go back!"
Huo Yunting's expression was icy, but his words were unquestionable.
Ke Ning's eyes were filled with worry, and he whispered, "Boss Huo, why don't I go? The hotel is too dangerous right now."
"Chen Cheng is coming for me. If I don't go back, I'm sure he won't give up."
"Mr. Huo..."
Huo Yunting didn't say anything else, just looked at him coldly.
Helplessly, Koning had to turn the car around and go back to the hotel.
As soon as I walked into the hotel lobby, the manager came to greet me with a panicked look on his face.
"Mr. Huo, there's news from inside that your girlfriend is being held hostage by Chen Cheng. This is a video secretly taken by a guest inside..."
Huo Yunting took the video and the moment he clicked it, his expression suddenly froze.
