Chapter 34 (2/2)

“Chen …”

Before he could complete his sentence, his face suddenly paled. Chen Le’s head sunk deep into his chest, and his temple had a bloody hole on it, which had not existed previously. Fresh blood profusely flowed out, his gaze turned to the car window, which had a small hole.

Before he could regain his senses, the door on his right was yanked open. A man got into the car, holding a pistol with a silencer in his hand.

“It’s you?”

Yang Sheng recognized the identity of the other person. He was the one that made a deal with Yang Sheng previously at the bar. Yang Sheng shrank back and stammered, “What… What do you want?”

“Tell your men to get into action, otherwise …”

The man cocked the bolt and pressed the muzzle against Yang Sheng’s forehead.

“Don’t… don’t kill me please…”

“Then you better do as I say.”

Yang Sheng did not dare to disobey, and quickly pulled out his mobile phone and dialled a number, setting the phone to the speaker option.

The call was connected, and a man’s voice rang out: “Boss Sheng, everyone is here. When do you want to start?”

“Now! Immediately!”

Hanging up the phone, Yang Sheng looked at the man and was about to beg for mercy. But the last thing he would ever see was the corner of the man’s mouth raising, and his finger pulling the trigger.

In the middle of the conference hall, a few minutes before the signing ceremony began, the representatives of Hongyu Multinational and the various government departments arrived at the newly erected temporary stage.

At this moment, several law enforcement officers responsible for maintaining order rushed to the back of the stage. After a while, the secretaries of several senior government officials rushed to the stage, looking nervous and whispering in the ears of the leaders.

“There’s such a thing happening now?”

The government representative had a mask of fury.

“Miss Nanrong, my apologies, but we just received news that someone is causing trouble at the Old City District and they are rushing here now. The enemy is large in number, so for your safety, I suggest that you should return first. We’ll settle things over here.”

“Alright, sorry to trouble you then.”

“All squad members assemble and prepare to evacuate.”

Zhong Wei started barking instructions into the walkie-talkie. Soon, all members of Squad 1 arrived, forming a circle of protection around Nanrong Wanqing and Nan Ronghao, while leading them in the direction where the vehicles were parked.

However, as soon as the convoy left the venue, they saw a large mob rushing in from all directions, numbering hundreds of people. These hooligans’ arms were wrapped in red ribbons, every one of them holding an iron rod, and ferociously beating up anyone they see.

The surrounding crowd, upon witnessing the mob approaching did not dare to linger and immediately started to flee.

Zhong Zhongwei and his squad all had the backgrounds of highly trained soldiers. When facing the danger of the unruly mob, they kept their calm and continued safeguarding Nanrong Wanqing and Nanrong Hao. They quickly retreated and were prepared to go to the parking lot.

However, the parking lot was one block away, a couple hundreds of meters, and they needed to pass an intersection as well. At that moment, all the roads were blocked by hooligans and congested by the large volume of people. If they chose to pass directly, they would definitely face resistance.

“Liang Zhaohui.”

Hearing Zhong Wei’s shout, the latter immediately responded, pointing to an alley not far behind him. “There is a small road over there. We can go around from there.”

As a bodyguard who had background in reconnaissance, he had conducted a preliminary survey of the surrounding terrain. Seeing that there was no way forward, he immediately executed the backup plan and retreated from the path.

The alley was more than forty meters long and led to the adjacent street.

To prevent the mob behind from catching up, the convoy increased their speed, moving at a jogging pace to the parking lot.

However, as soon as the group of crossed the alley, before they could even let out a sigh of relief, they encountered fifty-odd hooligans who had coincidentally passed the street.

All of a sudden, the eyes of the hooligans focused on them.

“Not good!”

Zhong Wei’s complexion sank, and all the muscles on his body tensed instantly.

“Protect the Chairwoman!”
