866: Chapter 865: Escape from Death!
Dominate the Scene!
“Go to hell, jerk!”
A fierce roar erupted with murderous intent.
Amidst the noisy and lively scene, and the joyous atmosphere on stage,
a middle-aged man, who was there for the ribbon-cutting, suddenly lunged at Wu Jie.
And in that instant…
Lu Songfu had just shaken hands with Wu Jie and was about to discuss with him the multi-billion-dollar investnt project.
Chu Yunxuan was clapping in celebration, while other hostesses were walking away with their trays.
Other ribbon-cutting guests were either clapping or whispering to each other.
And below the stage, many people were also cheering in celebration…
Even,
the guards scattered in the crowd and stationed around the stage,
no one expected that danger would suddenly strike.
Those allowed on stage for ribbon-cutting were significant provincial and municipal figures!
Unexpectedly, a traitor, an assassin, was among them!
As the ribbon-cutting concluded, he approached Lu Songfu and Wu Jie.
It might have been to shake hands, discuss official matters,
or perhaps to offer congratulations and foster relationships.
After all, for an important investor like Wu Jie, who readily invested hundreds of billions,
attracting investnt for political achievents was a standard social practice.
But who could have imagined that his approach bore deadly intent?
Guarding day and night, but a traitor is hardest to guard against!
At that very mont,
the quick-responding guard had already pressed the briefcase button, revealing a submachine gun and deploying a protective shield.
Simultaneously, they dashed to the stage like cheetahs.
Countless training sessions ensured their rapid reaction.
However,
responding even faster was the silent Phantom beside Wu Jie.
The middle-aged man, who roared and lunged at Wu Jie, clutched sothing in his hand.
It seed aid at stabbing Wu Jie’s back; had it hit, it would have been lethal.
And he could never have anticipated the presence of an ‘invisible bodyguard’ by Wu Jie’s side.
With a loud bang,
before Wu Jie could even react, Phantom had viciously knocked the attacker away.
Such force!
Such speed!
The assassin’s roaring scream still reverberating, his eardrums vibrating,
he was like a kite with its string cut, as if running and then brutally hit by a speeding Heavy Truck.
With a loud crash,
a huge hole was knocked through the stage curtain.
He was struck so hard he rolled several tis before coming to a stop,
suffering from multiple fractures and nearly shattered internal organs.
The entire person twisted and deford by Phantom’s devastating strike.
So, when he finally stopped rolling, he shuddered, coughed up blood-filled sputum violently,
and then convulsed twice before expiring instantly.
In that very mont,
the swiftly moving guards rushed onto the stage.
A guard holding a shield imdiately wrapped Wu Jie in from the side rear, both shields doubling the protection.
Almost instantly as they grabbed Wu Jie, they sprinted towards a less crowded area for a hundred-ter dash!
Wu Jie alone weighed over a hundred pounds!
The shields weren’t light either!
The two guards surged forward, quickly forming a ‘dual-side protection,’ adeptly ‘scooping’ Wu Jie and running.
Their speed, no less fierce than a sprinter in a hundred-ter dash.
Such speed!
Such strength!
Such reactions!
Indeed suited for high-level security!
Thus, even if there were other assassins, other modes of attack,
the shields they held, their bodies, all provided coverage for Wu Jie.
Even in the event of a sudden explosion, they could withstand the shockwaves and shrapnel.
Protecting life with their own lives!
At any cost, they safeguarded the protected person.
That’s the first principle of being a guard!
And even more brave was…
the gun-holding guard, who swiftly charged towards the back of the stage.
Rat-tat-tat…
Second principle of the guard!
A dead assassin is absolutely safe!
Running at high speed, they executed precise short bursts hitting the assassin’s head with each shot.
Such marksmanship, impossible without thousands of repetitions of practice.
Moreover,
another guard quickly started the bulletproof limousine, rushing towards the back of the stage.
The car door could open automatically in an ergency, saving ti.
So, Wu Jie felt almost ‘kidnapped’ as he was wrapped in dual-layer protection and forced into the vehicle.
Thud, thud!
The heavy car door automatically closed.
And the powerful engine roared like a wild beast.
Suddenly bursting with strong power, the bulletproof limousine charged away,
the whole process exceedingly rapid.
The bulletproof car dashed in, barely slowed down, and the mont the guards escorted Wu Jie inside, it imdiately accelerated and raced away.
Such ultra-fast evacuation required exceptionally efficient and coordinated teamwork, not achievable in a day or two.
From the assassin’s sudden attack to the completion of the evacuation,
the whole process took just a few seconds.
The assassination happened suddenly, and ended just as abruptly!
Not until the bulletproof car sped off, kicking up dust in its wake, did many people react.
Firecrackers still sizzled and popped.
Drumrs and gong players abruptly stopped.
Many who were clapping and celebrating suddenly fell silent, staring blankly and curiously at the stage.
And even the many reporters closest to the stage, Lu Songfu, other ribbon-cutting guests, and the hostesses…
all seed to suddenly short-circuit, as if frozen,
Uncertain of what had happened.
It seed soone had shouted and rushed towards Wu Jie, then sothing had flown out with a bang…
And then soone rushed the stage, took Wu Jie away, and then watched a car roar away…
It seed soone had also fired a gun, but the brief gunfire was drowned out by the firecrackers…
In this mont,
many on stage were stunned.
No one had expected there would be such an accident on such an occasion.
Could it be that soone had just tried to harm Wu Jie?
No wonder the Security Bureau had asked to change the arrangent of the event earlier!
Chu Yunxuan reacted quickly, instantly realizing everything.
And now…
n in black suits quickly picked up the spent shell casings from the ground, people swiftly covered the assassin with a tarp backstage, and quickly shoveled away the bloodstained soil, while more from the Security Bureau ca up and took away Lu Songfu and others.
Chu Yunxuan suddenly realized.
A major incident had occurred!
To have such an assassination attempt at today’s grand ceremony would definitely not be good news once it spread.
And with so many people at the scene, chaos absolutely could not erupt.
So…
Since Wu Jie was unhard, she had to co up with a way to stabilize the situation.
After all, she was the host!
A perfectly good groundbreaking ceremony couldn’t just be ruined!
The microphone was in her hand!
“Sorry, a guest just got too excited and accidentally fell from the podium!”
“Our staff have quickly taken action and have taken him for dical treatnt!”
“At this mont, my emotions are also running high, so I’m walking very carefully, scared of spraining my ankle…”
Chu Yunxuan walked to the front of the stage with long strides, her face adorned with a radiant smile.
She forced herself to stay calm and not get excited, keeping a smile on her face and her words humorous.
And the beautiful, graceful host spoke so fluidly.
Those who were initially sowhat panicked also quickly cald down.
Those who were curious, unable to guess the reason, had no choice but to temporarily maintain their silence.
After all, Lu Songfu was still there, and many leading guests were present.
And many police officers were stationed near each squad.
What’s there to panic about?
What’s there to be chaotic about?
At such an important event, many people, even if excited and curious, would not lose their composure.
But…
This was truly an embarrassing mont for Chu Yunxuan.
She had never imagined that, on her first ti hosting such an important event, she would encounter such a shocking assassination attempt.
She didn’t know how Wu Jie had managed to escape unhard, but now her…
Her smile was bright, but inside she was terribly nervous!
What to say?
How to say it?
Chu Yunxuan, in a mont of desperation, took on the role of a singer.
Of course.
To suit the occasion, to match the special scene today.
Chu Yunxuan specifically chose to sing “Stepping into the New Era”…
…
The crisp singing voice was lodious and pleasing to the ear.
It sounded nice.
But there was no accompanint!
Nobody had expected today’s turn of events, and there simply hadn’t been a set singing session planned.
The sound engineer backstage, dumbfounded for two seconds, hurriedly used his phone to find the accompanint and quickly outputted it to the sound system.
With the accompanint music, Chu Yunxuan’s mood was no longer so ‘heroic.’
Entering the perfect state, the lodious singing filled the entire venue.
Music is the best spiritual comfort.
Whether shocked or curious, everyone gradually beca imrsed in the singing.
The song was beautiful, the singer even more so.
Dressed in a long gown, Chu Yunxuan, on this podium, sang passionately.
With her infectious singing and deeply emotive expressions and movents, many people were captivated.
And Lu Songfu, who had been moved away, soon learned what had happened.
Beyond shock and anger, he imdiately ordered that the news be tightly sealed.
Especially the dia reporters, who absolutely could not leak a single word.
And externally, they would stick to the version given by the host Chu Yunxuan, just saying that soone was too excited and accidently fell off the podium.
Of course.
Lu Songfu also truly admired Chu Yunxuan from the bottom of his heart.
Quick response, adequate handling.
Tily nipped the beginnings of chaos in the bud and changed the atmosphere of the site through her singing.
After the singing stopped, Lu Songfu imdiately ca up to the stage.
As the highest-ranking guest on the scene, he was naturally able to control the audience.
He first praised Chu Yunxuan, expressing beautiful wishes through her singing.
Then he began to give a proper speech thed around ‘Safe construction, quality first.’
He did his best to shift everyone’s attention, so that they wouldn’t overthink the recent minor accident.
Chu Yunxuan felt her mind go blank.
She didn’t even know how she kept smiling and gracefully walked down from the podium.
Feeling a buzz in her ears, she couldn’t hear what Lu Songfu was saying.
Too nervous!
Too unbelievable!
She could never have dread that she would encounter such a situation.
Breathe!
Breathe~
Taking deep breaths consecutively, she adjusted her emotions.
Chu Yunxuan did her best not to look at the torn tarp, not to think about where Wu Jie was now, what his condition was.
Right now, her most important task was to bring this ceremony to a perfect close.
No chaos, no negative news.
Thinking this, Chu Yunxuan imdiately concocted a plan in her urgency.
She had the company manager notify other participating units to co up on stage in teams, take turns speaking and performing a swearing-in ceremony.
Both boosting everyone’s spirit and shifting attention.
…
In the departing bulletproof car.
The guards still did not relax, who knew if the elusive assassin might have other sches?
Constant vigilance, rather than relaxing after a close call, was the quality of a guard.
Of course.
The news of the assassination had been reported imdiately.
Shortly after the bulletproof car left the construction site, it rged with the Security Bureau’s vehicles, returning to the security base at the highest speed possible.
No choice!
The assassin was actually an invited guest, a high-ranking figure who willingly beca an assassin, which was beyond everyone’s expectation.
Who knew, going elsewhere, if they would be walking into a trap?
And Wu Jie imdiately counter-killing him was not surprising.
After all, even Kong Heng, the all-army martial ar…
