Chapter 549 The Real Purpose
Seeing Zhong Mengxuan stabbing at her with a dagger, Zhong Nianyao's eyes flashed with a dark light. Then, she quickly dodged the attack and grabbed Zhong Mengxuan's hand, twisting it hard.
"Ah--" Zhong Mengxuan let out a sharp cry of pain. She could feel that her hands had been twisted off by Zhong Nian Yao.
"Clang—"
After a sound, the dagger fell to the ground. Zhong Nian Yao pushed and Zhong Mengxuan fell directly to the ground.
At this time, Zhong Mengxuan was sweating on her forehead, her face was pale, and her lips were chapped because of the pain in her wrist, but when she looked at Zhong Nian Yao, she was still filled with deep hatred and malice.
Zhong Nianyao stood there, looking down at Zhong Mengxuan, with no extra expression on her face and no warmth in her eyes. "Zhong Mengxuan, I think you are tired of living. If that's the case, then I don't mind sending you directly to prison."
"I think that for the crime of attempted murder, even if you can't be imprisoned for life, you'll at least have to spend 20 to 30 years in prison!"
After hearing what Zhong Nianyao said, Zhong Mengxuan became anxious. She looked up, her face full of panic, "Don't talk nonsense, when did I commit murder?"
"He entered the lounge with a dagger when no one was around, and stabbed me." Zhong Nianyao spoke clearly, word by word. "If this isn't murder, then what is?"
Zhong Mengxuan was unable to refute what she said. Her expression became even uglier. But she still said stubbornly, "I didn't do that. You're talking nonsense. I just... just..."
"Whether you have it or not is not up to you to decide." Zhong Nianyao said coldly, "Let the police decide!"
As she spoke, she looked up at the hidden location in the corner of the lounge, where there was a camera.
Following Zhong Nianyao's gaze, Zhong Mengxuan's eyes widened when she saw the camera. The panic in her eyes was almost unconcealable. Her lips trembled a few times, and the words she spoke were trembling.
"No, you can't do this. Zhong Nianyao, you can't call the police."
"Why can't you call the police?" Zhong Nianyao's cold eyes fell on Zhong Mengxuan. "Just now, if I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have been seriously injured if not dead. What qualifications do you have to ask me not to call the police?"
The fear in Zhong Mengxuan's heart continued to spread, and even her body began to tremble. At this moment, her hatred for Zhong Nianyao had almost reached its peak.
"Zhong Nianyao, you are the one who caused all of this today. If you hadn't stopped me from attending the engagement party, how could this have happened? It's all your fault, all your fault."
As she spoke, Zhong Mengxuan reached out her hands, hugged her head, and kept grabbing her hair. Her crazy look was scary to see.
Zhong Nianyao ignored Zhong Mengxuan's actions, took out her cell phone and was about to call the police.
Seeing that Zhong Nian Yao was about to call the police, Zhong Mengxuan became anxious. She immediately stood up and rushed towards Zhong Nian Yao, as if she wanted to knock the phone out of her hand.
Zhong Nian Yao dodged it with a quick move, but a flash of cold light passed by, and she felt a sharp pain in her wrist.
Looking again, there was a shallow blood mark on her wrist.
It turned out that there was a tiny blade hidden between Zhong Mengxuan's fingers. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it at all.
Just now, Zhong Mengxuan's real purpose was not to knock her phone away, but to cut her with a blade, but——
"Zhong Mengxuan, is this your method?" Zhong Nianyao sneered and glanced at the wound on her wrist. "It's a pity that you are still one step behind!"
"One step behind?" Zhong Mengxuan's face didn't show any regret. In fact, at this moment, a hint of madness and pride could be seen on her face. "Zhong Nianyao, do you really think this is just a small wound? I told you, if you want to destroy me, then I will not show you mercy."
"This blade is coated with something good, just feel it!"
After saying that, Zhong Mengxuan swaggered out of the lounge, as if she was certain that Zhong Nian Yao would not catch up with her.
Zhong Nianyao frowned. Seeing Zhong Mengxuan leaving, she took a step to catch up with her, but as soon as she raised her foot, she felt dizzy.
The dizziness quickly disappeared, and then—
Lu Yichen, who was at the banquet at this moment, suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and a feeling of panic suddenly arose deep in his heart.
Without any hesitation, he immediately turned around and walked towards the lounge.
"Yichen, you——"
Looking at Lu Yichen's almost panicked steps, Mr. Lu couldn't help but feel confused and wanted to call out to Lu Yichen.
However, Lu Yichen acted as if he didn't hear anything. He didn't even stop and just walked away.
Seeing Lu Yichen's attitude, Mrs. Lu, who was standing beside Mr. Lu, immediately became gloomy and spoke in a sarcastic tone, "You treat him like your own son, but he doesn't seem to take you, his father, seriously!"
"Just shut up."
Mr. Lu growled, then looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that no one noticed their conversation.
When he faced Madam Lu again, his expression turned somewhat grim. However, he immediately remembered the current situation and smiled again. However, his tone was still harsh when he spoke to Madam Lu. "You are not young anymore. You should think before you speak. You'd better know the difference between what you can say and what you can't say. Otherwise, don't attend some big occasions in the future to avoid being laughed at."
Hearing the warning in Mr. Lu's words, Mrs. Lu pursed her lips, and finally said unwillingly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I said the wrong thing just now. I will be more careful in the future."
In fact, she regretted it the moment she said it.
She knew that the old man would be angry if she said such a thing, but she couldn't control her inner anger and injustice, so she blurted it out.
Today's engagement banquet was grand, but it was precisely because of its grandeur that she felt uncomfortable. Because when her other two sons got engaged, there was no such grand ceremony and so many important guests.
