He"s in pai
Lan Yanxi had just finished speaking when she heard a gunshot coming from outside the door. She quickly covered her ears in fright. Unfortunately, this door was reinforced and had been specially treated so that the bullet couldn"t penetrate it. The man seemed to have gone crazy. He grabbed a chair and threw it towards Ye Zichen. However, the moment he raised the chair up, a bodyguard rushed in and shot him in the back.
"Put the chair down." He took another shot in the arm with the gun, and the bodyguard scolded him in a cold voice.
"Hoh, the d.a.m.n woman isn"t dead, but I can"t live. Whatever, I"m going to die anyway." After saying that, the man took his gun and shot himself in the head.
Blood spurted out and his body fell to the ground.
At this moment, the sound of urgent footsteps came from the corridor outside the door. Soon, Ling Mofeng and a group of people stood at the door.
"Yanxi!" He shouted in panic.
At that moment, the door to the lounge was opened. A pet.i.te figure rushed out.
"Yanxi." The man pa.s.sed through the crowd and hugged her tightly. His lips pressed tightly against her forehead for a long time before his heartbeat finally calmed down.
Chu Lie had his people protect the scene. He squatted down to check, then exchanged a glance with Ling Mofeng.
"Clean this place up." Since the murderer committed suicide on the spot, even if Ling Mofeng wanted to investigate, he couldn"t get anything out of a dead man. Ling Mofeng wanted to investigate, but it was impossible to get anything out of a dead man.
The human heart was sinister, but the human nature was fragile. When someone held onto the very life of one"s loved ones and used their life to exchange for their safety, that was the most helpless and helpless choice. Ling Mofeng embraced Lan Yanxi and used his tall body to cover up the cold body. He didn"t want her to look at him again.
"Yanxi, how did you escape in there?" Ling Mofeng"s voice was still low and trembling.
Lan Yanxi said angrily, "I suspected him when he was outside the door just now, but when I wanted to speak, he came in. I was scared half to death."
"How did you suspect him?" Ling Mofeng asked her with praise, while his eyes were filled with surprise.
Lan Yanxi pursed her lips, "He said you asked him to send me a cup of coffee, but you know I don"t. I"m allergic to coffee, and I can"t stand the bitter taste, the last time you gave it to me, I didn"t even drink it, how could you let him give it to me?"
"Yanxi, it"s a good habit for you to be able to observe and observe. It can also save your life at a critical moment. In the future, you have to be suspicious of strangers, do you understand?" Ling Mofeng"s heart nearly stopped beating when he heard her distress signal. Luckily, the meeting room he was in wasn"t too far away from here, so he was able to get here in time.
"To be honest, I"m really scared." Lan Yanxi"s body was still trembling. The gunshot from before had scared her to the point of squatting down in a corner and s.h.i.+vering.
"It"s okay, don"t be afraid." Ling Mofeng kissed her forehead with his thin lips and comforted her softly.
Only then did Lan Yanxi understand the terror of war. She could also understand why Ling Mofeng didn"t want to have an open relations.h.i.+p with her. It was because there were too many people who wanted to get Ling Mofeng"s weakness.
"Ling Mofeng, did I disturb you? Has your meeting ended yet?" Lan Yanxi blamed herself, but she also felt terrible. She didn"t expect that someone would barge in to kill her. Not only that, they would commit suicide if they didn"t kill her. This kind of person who treated her so ruthlessly was too terrifying.
"It"s alright. Your safety is the most important thing, and the meeting is almost over. I"ll have someone else speak up for me." Ling Mofeng touched her hair: "Let"s go back."
"Yes." Lan Yanxi still extended her arms to hug him, burying her face deep in his embrace as she l.u.s.ted after his sense of security.
Ling Mofeng"s heart ached as he looked at her frightened expression.
Lan Yanxi didn"t say a word on the way back to the car. She just held onto one of his arms in a daze.
Ling Mofeng didn"t know what to say to comfort her, so he could only lean his head towards her to get closer.
"The staff members beside you have also been bribed by them. You should be more careful in the future." When they were almost home, Lan Yanxi reminded him in a low voice.
"I know, to be honest, I wasn"t surprised that this person would betray me. At first, I felt that he was a bit untrustworthy, so I didn"t let him partic.i.p.ate in the core work for a while, but I didn"t expect that he would be bribed." Ling Mofeng"s words were filled with helplessness and a bitter smile.
"If he"s dead, no matter how many benefits we get, I"m afraid we won"t be able to spend our lives on him. What"s the point of that?" Lan Yanxi could not understand this person"s purpose.
"Yanxi, you can"t predict the terrifying level of the human heart. Do you think it"s a pity that the person has died? But he might have to die for a reason. Let"s stop guessing, shall we? Think of today as a nightmare. If you wake up from the dream, you should forget about it. " Ling Mofeng didn"t want to explain it to her so clearly because those things were too cruel.
"En, I will forget about it. Moreover, I will temper my heart even more so. In the future, I will not panic in the face of anything. I will not let you worry about me." Lan Yanxi nodded with a light smile.
"I don"t know if anything will happen at our engagement party tomorrow, but I"ve done my best to do security work." Ling Mofeng frowned. He was still a bit uneasy about tomorrow"s unknown.
"The people we invited were all friends and family. No one that we didn"t know was invited to come in. It should be... "No problem." However, Lan Yanxi naively thought so.
Since it was an engagement banquet, the number of people invited was not many, only ten tables long. The two families and friends each had five tables, and they were also the closest kind, so friends were also the toughest. Although Ling Mofeng was Vice President, he wanted to keep a low profile and chose a very secretive place to eat, so no one would disturb him.
Other than the issue of safety, there was no need to intentionally expose the rest.
"I hope so. Hopefully, the people we invited are all sincere in their blessings to us." Ling Mofeng nodded with a smile. He didn"t want to add to her psychological pressure.
"Oh right, were you the one who dealt with Lan Xianxian"s resignation?" Lan Yanxi asked curiously.
"It wasn"t me. I haven"t notified the perso
el yet. Has she quit?" Ling Mofeng"s handsome face darkened when he mentioned this woman.
"Yeah, she didn"t come herself. My little cousin helped her. She also said that Lan Xianxian is getting married." "Thank you," Lan Yanxi said softly.
