Chapter 2: First Love in the Republican Era
The teahouse across the street.
A person stood by the window, gazing intently at Luo Xi, who stood motionless for a long time.
Lu Zheng asked the person next to him, "Who is she? What is her relationship with Li Zhiyuan?"
Wang Hao: "She is Luo Xi, the daughter of Luo Hong, and also Li Zhiyuan's ex-girlfriend."
A few years ago, Luo Hong was extremely wealthy.
Two years ago, he died of illness. His vast family fortune was swallowed up by the Kuomintang.
The Kuomintang seized the Luo family's assets, so they naturally took good care of Luo Hong's only daughter.
They won't let anyone hurt her.
That's how Luo Xi survived in this turbulent society.
One month later,
This was the day Li Zhiyuan and Lin Manning held their wedding.
Xilin Hotel.
People came to attend the wedding in droves.
Luo Xi also came.
When Li Zhiyuan saw Luo Xi, he was stunned for a moment. Lin Manning noticed this and subtly took his arm. Li Zhiyuan came to his senses and accepted the gift from Luo Xi.
They never expected her to come.
Lin Manning was worried that there was something wrong with the gift, so she had someone secretly take away and throw it away.
Because she was afraid there was a bomb inside.
Even if Luo Xi's gift didn't contain a bomb, she would still have it thrown away because she found it disgusting.
One hour later,
The wedding ceremony officially began.
Wearing a red wedding dress, Lin Manning smiled as she walked towards Li Zhiyuan. Halfway there, she caught a glimpse of Luo Xi sitting to her left; she was simply too beautiful and too conspicuous.
Lin Manning felt very frustrated, and she walked along thinking.
Why is Luo Xi dressed so beautifully for her wedding to Li Zhiyuan? Doesn't she understand that when attending someone else's wedding, she shouldn't overshadow the bride?
Furthermore, she couldn't believe that Luo Xi wasn't sad or upset at all during their marriage, and hadn't made any move whatsoever.
But for some reason, she had a feeling that something bad was going to happen today.
She looked down at her belly tenderly, hoping she was just overthinking things.
Luo Xi watched as Lin Manning and Li Zhiyuan helped each other put on their wedding rings.
Then, the people below started to jeer.
"Give me a kiss, give me a kiss........."
Lin Manning and Li Zhiyuan were forced to kiss.
Just then, they both noticed the smile on Luo Xi's lips.
Amid the cheers of the crowd, Lin Manning and Li Zhiyuan exchanged a glance.
A chill ran down their spines; something felt off.
The next second, just as they were about to kiss, the spot where they were standing exploded.
Those who were close to the scene were all killed in the bombing; most of them were relatives and friends of the bride and groom.
The most tragic case is that of the bride and groom, who are left without a complete corpse.
Although Luo Xi was sitting far away, the bomb was so powerful that she was almost injured in the face by the shrapnel. Fortunately, someone shielded her from it.
She was happy because they were finally dead.
Have they forgotten that her father used to be the richest man in the world?
This hotel used to belong to her family; it was built by her father.
Is there anyone more familiar with this hotel than she is?
Apart from her deceased father, no one knew her better than she did.
She knew there were several secret passages, where they led, and which floorboards were hollow underneath.
Her father also hid a lot of guns and ammunition in this hotel. They had no idea.
When she learned that Lin Manning and Li Zhiyuan were going to hold their wedding at this hotel, she began planning how to kill them.
Last night, she placed the bomb under the floorboards where they had just been standing. The amount of explosives was enough to ensure that neither of them would survive.
