Chapter 99 Cursed Doll
"Let's go check over there!"
At that moment, two patrolling bodyguards suddenly appeared on the other side.
Upon seeing this, Luo Tingwei immediately hid and burrowed into the nearby bushes.
Through the gaps in the grass, she could observe everything happening outside.
The two bodyguards lingered in front of her for a while, at one point being just a meter away.
Luo Tingwei held her breath, not daring to relax for a moment, and observed the movements outside with full concentration.
Finally, the bodyguard left.
She breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to come out, her gaze shifted, but she suddenly froze for a moment.
Diagonally above, at a 45-degree angle, at the two o'clock position.
What is that?
Luo Tingwei narrowed her eyes, and for a moment, her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
On a windowsill somewhere in another building, a fully assembled sniper rifle was prominently displayed.
The scope was pointed directly at the banquet hall in the distance.
Just then, a noise came from the bushes, and a voice came through the walkie-talkie right next to her.
"Everything is ready."
"Alright, the banquet will begin in one hour. At 7:05, Li Yanzhou will give a speech. When that time comes, wait for my order and then you can fire."
"yes."
Listening to their conversation, Luo Tingwei's heart nearly jumped out of her chest.
Is someone trying to kill Li Yanzhou?
At this moment, the other person was right next to her.
Fortunately, she was covered by bushes, otherwise she would have been exposed.
Just then, a head popped out from the sniper position on the opposite window. A man with a black mask was looking down and observing every move around him.
Just then, they heard the man next door say, "You fucking bastard, get the hell back inside, don't let anyone see us."
So the head that had peeked out quickly disappeared again.
"I can't stay any longer, I have to go back now. Take care of yourself."
The man next door said this as he walked out of the bushes.
Luo Tingwei was stunned when she saw him.
She recognized this person; he was a high-ranking bodyguard of Li Yanzhou, and his face looked familiar.
Unexpectedly, a traitor had appeared among his own men.
Someone is plotting to assassinate him from within.
Upon realizing this fact, Luo Tingwei got goosebumps all over her body and froze in the grass, somewhat at a loss.
The man left.
Just then, Huo Zhizhou came over, looking around as he softly called her name, "Weiwei..."
Are you here?
Luo Tingwei threw a pebble out of the bushes.
Upon seeing this, Huo Zhizhou quickly went over and found her in the bushes.
"Let's go, we're safe now!"
Luo Tingwei, still shaken, pointed to a spot on the opposite building and said, "There's a sniper there."
Huo Zhizhou looked up in her direction for a long time before he realized that there was indeed a gun propped up, in a very hidden position.
If you don't look for it specifically, no one will notice it at all.
"Cousin, I'm scared..."
Huo Zhizhou frowned upon seeing this.
"It seems this manor is no longer safe. Someone might get into trouble tonight. Take advantage of the fact that no one is around the gun now and come with me quickly."
As Huo Zhizhou spoke, he patted her shoulder to comfort her.
"Don't worry, he's probably not targeting us."
Luo Tingwei hesitated for a moment, then suddenly looked up and asked, "Brother, do you have the program for tonight's banquet?"
Huo Zhizhou was taken aback. "Yes, every guest gets one. Why are you asking?"
"Take a look at the time when Li Yanzhou will be speaking on stage. What time is it?"
Huo Zhizhou looked at her with a belly full of doubts, but the next second, he still took out his phone and glanced at it.
"The banquet will begin in an hour, and the time to speak on stage is... around 7:05."
Upon hearing this, Luo Tingwei gasped in shock.
The details matched perfectly; everything coincided with what the man had just said.
Could it be that they really came for Li Yanzhou tonight?
In an instant, her mind was in turmoil.
But at that very moment, Huo Zhizhou tried to pull her away quickly.
"I've already made arrangements at the back entrance. We need to hurry while the guests are entering through the front entrance, or it will be too late!"
Luo Tingwei let him pull her along, stiffly following him outside.
For some reason, her steps became heavy, as if weighed down by a thousand pounds.

"Young Master, Miss Luo is missing."
At the same time, the bodyguards hurriedly reported Luo Tingwei's escape to Li Yanzhou.
In the dimly lit, enclosed room, the light was not very bright.
The man who had been smoking suddenly changed his expression, his eyes turning bloodshot, and he grabbed the collar of his subordinate, demanding, "What?"
"Didn't I tell you guys to keep an eye on her?!"
"try to find!"
"Seal off the villa and dig three feet into the ground to find it!"
"yes."
For a moment, Li Yanzhou lost his mind. Only after the person had taken several steps back did he call out to him as if he had just come to his senses.
"Wait a minute."
His subordinate paused, tensely pricking up his ears.
"Be discreet and don't disturb the guests."
"yes."
Mo Sen, who had been standing beside him, quickly stepped forward and said worriedly, "Young Master Li, this is troublesome."
"She never lets me have a moment's peace."
Li Yanzhou stood up and was about to leave. "I thought she was bored being alone, so I made an exception and let Huo Zhizhou come and see her. I didn't expect that she would have the idea of running away again. She has disregarded me time and time again and completely ruined my good intentions."
Just then, Aunt Wu called again, saying that there had been a major discovery in the villa and that she hoped he could come back immediately so she could report it in person.
Back at the villa.
Aunt Wu was already standing in the courtyard waiting for him, holding something in her hand, and her expression was very unpleasant.
"Young master, look at this. This was found in Miss Luo's room upstairs."
Aunt Wu handed over the item, and Li Yanzhou glanced at it; it turned out to be a crocheted doll.
"Be careful with your hands, there's something stuck in them."
Li Yanzhou frowned, only then noticing that there were two silver needles stuck in the doll.
Seeing that he had taken it, Aunt Wu continued to explain, "It was found in a corner of the room. If the maid hadn't done a thorough cleaning today, it wouldn't have been found so easily."
"Young master, please turn it over and take a look."
Wu Ma's voice became even more somber.
The doll was turned over, and everyone present gasped in shock when they saw it clearly.
There was a yellow paper pasted on the back with some things written on it in black pen.
Li Yanzhou recognized it at a glance as his birth date and time.
His name was even on it.
Even this doll is made in his shape!
Wu Ma concluded, "Miss Luo is too vicious; she wants you dead, young master!"
