Chapter 343: Running out of ammunition and food
In an instant, all the sounds around disappeared. Huo Yunting stared at the figure being held hostage by Chen Cheng, his eyes bloodshot.
Ke Ning was still asking the manager whether he had called the police and asked them to arrange a bomb disposal expert, when he saw Huo Yunting walking quickly towards the banquet hall out of the corner of his eye.
He was stunned for a moment, then quickly chased after him to stop him, "Boss Huo, it's very dangerous in there now!"
Huo Yunting's expression was icy. "Get out of the way! Zhenzhen is inside. I want to save her!"
Ke Ning's eyes flashed with shock, and then he frowned and said, "My wife passed away three years ago... Mr. Huo, the person inside now is Chi Xuan."
Huo Yunting handed the phone screen to him and said word by word, "Look carefully, she is Chi Muzhen, not Chi Xuan!"
Ke Ning took a look, sighed and said, "Mr. Huo, this is Chi Xuan."
It seems that Huo Yunting missed Chi Muzhen so much that he mistook Chi Xuan for her.
"I want to go into the banquet hall now!"
After saying that, he walked past him and quickly towards the banquet hall without caring about Koning's reaction.
Koning frowned and hurriedly chased after him.
At this moment, in the banquet hall.
Chen Cheng's patience was gradually running out. "Where's Huo Yunting?! Why hasn't he come yet?!"
"I've contacted Mr. Huo and he'll be here soon!"
Chen Cheng didn't believe what the man said at all. He sneered and said, "It seems that he doesn't care about his woman's life or death at all. Then I will kill her first. Anyway, I don't plan to leave alive!"
As he finished speaking, he raised the dagger and stabbed Xiao Muzhen fiercely.
Just as the dagger was about to pierce Xiao Muzhen's chest, the lights suddenly went out.
Chen Cheng only felt his arm go numb, and then he lost consciousness.
"Follow me!"
The moment his wrist was grabbed, Xiao Muzhen heard Xiao Zhuan's voice.
In the darkness, she couldn't help but curl her lips. She didn't expect Xiao to turn around so quickly.
The two men jumped out of the window. There was a road directly outside. A car had already stopped nearby. It picked up the two men and drove away.
Only after getting in the car did Xiao Muzhen begin to settle the score.
"Third brother, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this danger today. How are you going to compensate me?"
Xiao Zhuan looked innocent, "What does it have to do with me? It was the waiter who led you the wrong way, and I risked my life to save you, why didn't you tell me?!"
Xiao Muzhen frowned and thought to herself that it was true. She couldn't possibly cause trouble for a waiter.
but……
"Even if you don't save me, I still have a way to escape."
"But I still saved you, so now you owe me a favor."
Xiao Muzhen: "..."
"Okay, I don't need you to repay me. Just lend me the Mercedes your dad gave you for your birthday last year for a few days."
Xiao Muzhen raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "Why do I feel like you planned everything tonight just to borrow my car?"
"Is your third brother that kind of person? I just fell in love with a girl recently and want to pursue her."
"Third brother, do you need a luxury car to chase girls?"
Xiao Zhuan's expression was a little unnatural, "This time is different."
"Okay."
Xiao Zhuan looked incredulous, "You really agreed?"
"Yeah, but if you catch her, you have to treat me to a meal."
"Of course! I knew Zhenzhen was the best to me."
Xiao Muzhen: "..."
After the two left, the lights in the banquet hall soon came on.
Everyone immediately looked towards the stage and saw Chi Xuan tied up and lying on the ground, her face filled with fear and shock.
Chen Cheng, who had previously held her hostage, was now lying unconscious on the ground, with the dagger in his hand dropped a few meters away.
Everyone looked confused, not knowing what had happened during the power outage.
Suddenly, the door of the banquet hall was pushed open with a "bang" and Huo Yunting walked in with a cold expression.
He walked quickly onto the stage, kicked the dagger beside him away, and walked quickly to Chi Xuan.
As soon as he helped her up, Huo Yunting froze.
She is not Chi Muzhen!
No one dared to speak. After all, they had just participated in forcing Chi Xuan to go on stage to replace that woman. Maybe Huo Yunting would settle the score with them later.
Ke Ning and the manager followed behind, and the people they brought directly took Chen Cheng away to the police station. Everyone at the scene breathed a sigh of relief and left.
Huo Yunting stood up coldly and said in a cold voice: "Ke Ning, send him to the hospital."
Zhao Mingyue, who was standing by, was also frightened, but when she left, she couldn't help but glance at Chi Xuan who was still in a coma.
Suddenly, her pupils shrank sharply.
This woman now is not the same one as before!
The dresses they wore were very similar, but there was a detail at the waist that was different, but it was easy to miss.
If the unconscious woman is Chi Xuan, then who was the woman just now?
And what exactly happened during the two minutes of power outage?
The police quickly dismantled the bombs in the hotel and its surroundings. Huo Yunting, the person Chen Cheng wanted to retaliate against, also went to the police station to make a statement.
When I finished taking the statement, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.
Ke Ning stepped forward quickly and said, "Boss Huo, it's absolutely impossible for Chen Cheng to do this alone. There must be someone helping him. I've already sent someone to investigate."
Huo Yunting nodded coldly, "Give me a copy of the banquet hall's surveillance footage."
"I'm afraid that won't work. After Chen Cheng went in, the surveillance camera was damaged and nothing was captured."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yunting stopped in his tracks. The person being held hostage that he had seen before must be Chi Muzhen. There was no way he could have been wrong!
"Keep investigating. Send me the video that the guests at the scene took. I want to take a closer look."
"Okay, Mr. Huo."
Soon, the video was transmitted.
Huo Yunting looked at the woman in the video, and the strange feeling in his heart came up again. He had a strong premonition that the woman who was held hostage by Chen Cheng at that time was Chi Muzhen, but why did she suddenly become Chi Xuan later?
"Go ask the people who were at the banquet if anything unusual happened when Chen Cheng held Chi Xuan hostage!"
He couldn't believe that a living person could suddenly appear and then disappear.
"yes!"
Huo Yunting lowered his head and stroked the screen of his mobile phone.
If that woman is really Chi Muzhen, he will never let her go this time!
The news of the safety accident in Xiao's best hotel quickly spread throughout the capital, causing Xiao's stock price to drop significantly.
Xiao Tuo had no choice but to hold an emergency press conference and promise to strengthen the hotel’s security in the future and not allow such things to happen again.
Xiao Muzhen watched the press conference at home, picked up an apple, and bit into it while complaining, "It's obvious someone wants to deal with the Huo family, so they used Chen Cheng to pull this off. The Xiao family is the victim, and Dad actually wants to make a public apology. The Huo family should compensate the Xiao family for their losses!"
Xiao's mother couldn't help but laugh. "You, in the business world, there's no right or wrong, only interests. Why would those people care about what's going on? As long as they find an opportunity to attack the Xiao family, they will do their best to throw dirty water on the Xiao family."
"I know, but Dad should take action and teach them a lesson sometimes, otherwise they will think that our family is easy to bully."
Xun Zi looked at her with a doting look in his eyes.
"You have a very strong temper. You must control your temper when you return home this time. I have arranged a blind date for you this afternoon. You must not tease her this time."
Xiao Muzhen curled her lips helplessly and said unhappily, "I was just being funny, they just don't understand humor."
Xun Zi said angrily, "Last time when you went on a blind date with the young master of the Zhang family, you brought a giant python with you, and it scared him so much that he had to bring bodyguards with him every time he went on a blind date.
And the time before that, when you were on a blind date with the youngest son of the Wang family, you knocked out all his front teeth and ended up paying a lot for his medical expenses. You call that humorous?"
