Chapter 94: The Maniac  

A bitter smile hovered over Shangguan Ning’s face as she was lying on the carpet of the banquet hall.

She had thought that she wouldn’t care that much but unexpectedly, she was feeling very sad inside her heart.

Mother, why did you fall in love with such a cold-blooded man? He can sacrifice everything for his political life and the position.

As your daughter, I believe that you must have tasted endless bitterness to have ended your life.

Don’t worry, I will definitely find out those people who had hurt you and tall of them are going to be punished.

Shangguan Ning struggled to rise from the ground with the last remaining strength. But she failed each time after several attempts. She got increasingly heated that she wanted to rip off her clothes.

She didn’t know exactly what they were planning, but she had some clues.

Shangguan Zheng not only had called her to urge her to keep Jing Yiran company. He had even sent Shangguan Rouxue and Xie Zhuojun to bring her back because he wanted to send her to Jing Yiran.

But what she couldn’t believe was that they had united together to get her injected with drugs at Shangguan Rouxue’s banquet so as to get her to Jing Yiran’s bed!

How could there be a father like this in the world?

It became totally chaotic inside the banquet’s hall. Suddenly, the gate was banged open. Astonished, everyone turned around to look at the gate.

A man dressed in a black suit walked in.

He was emitting powerful charisma, with superlative facial features. The noble, indifferent look made him become the focus of the entire place.

His cello like smooth voice was chilly enough to cause everyone around to shiver. He said, “Stay put, or don’t blame me for losing your life.”

After hearing his words, everyone suddenly realized that more than a dozen black-clothed men stood, half concealed at the golden ceiling at the top of the banquet hall. Every one of them was holding a gun in hand, aiming at each one of their heads with black muzzles.

Everyone’s face paled. They stayed frozen in place in panic, not daring to move an inch.

But one of them refused to believe his words. He immediately grabbed the mobile so as to call the police, only to find that the mobile phone had no signal.

Then a bullet hit on his mobile accurately, making a huge banging sound.

Everyone screamed and hid themselves beneath the table.

Shangguan Zheng and five other people instantly recognized this man who had walked straight out of hell into this hall. He was the same one who had protected Shanggun Ning in N City.

They had suspected that he wasn’t an easy person, and it was confirmed today!

How could someone hide so many snipers at this five-star hotel which had excellent security facilities, without without making a sound! And that too at the engagement party of Deputy-Mayor’s daughter and her fiance, who was the heir of Family Xie’s Enterprise. Most of the guests invited there were elites with positions in the political and business fields of A City. They were all offended.

This man was indeed a maniac!

Ignoring the curious yet feared look of everyone else and the furious look of Shangguan Zheng and the other five people, Jing Yichen strode to Shangguan Ning, bent down and picked her up.

He spoke gently to her in concern, “Ning, did I come too late? Will you blame me? I had just gone to get rid of an annoying hedgehog. I will definitely come to you sooner, next time. What do you want to do with these people?”

With her in his arms, Shangguan Ning felt an unprecedented sense of security. She relaxed totally, but every inch of her skin was still burning , making her feel acutely uncomfortable. Her face was flushed.

Everyone else seemed to disappear in front of her eyes except him.

“Let’s go home...”

She spilled out these three words with difficulty. Then she shut her lips tightly, fearing that she would let out a painful moan.

Jing Yichen knew that she was suffering. Although he hated the man who drugged her, yet but he still carried her and walked out of the hall hearing her words.

As he passed Shangguan Zheng, he spoke sideways in a cold tone, “I told you never to touch her once again. Any pain she suffered will be paid bak! No one is going to be happy if she is not happy!”

He took one step ahead and threw a look at the distracted Xie Zhuojun. He said coldly, “You better see what your fiancée has in her hand.”

After these words, Jing Yichen didn’t pause for even one more minute before he strode out of the hall with Shangguan Ning in his hands. Redness had spread across her entire face.

In a short while, the armed black-clothed men at the ceiling disappeared in silence again. No one was able to see how they went, just as they hadn’t seen them come in.

The unknown was the biggest terror

The cold, menacing man had an immeasurable capability. No one knew where he came from and that made people become even more scared.

No one was in the mood to stay back at the party. They needed to be alive to enjoy a good engagement banquet!

Shangguan Zheng got so furious that he shivered slightly, seeing the guests who had been bowing to him and flattering him a minute ago, dashing off the scene as if they were trying to avoid a plague.

Who was this man?

He was definitely going to find it out.

He hadn’t paid much attention to this man before. No one had been important enough for him to find details about when he was already at this position. But he had been threatened by this man many times and on today’s occasion, he had shown tremendous ability. Shangguan Zheng was not able to ignore him any more.

At this moment, Shangguan Rouxue had already sat up with the help of Xie Zhuojun. After hearing Jing Yichen’s last words before he left and seeing Xie Zhuojun throw a look at her tightly clenched hands, she went pale.

For one moment, Xie Zhuojun felt that he seemed to have been tricked. It seemed that this engagement banquet had been planned well by Family Shangguan whilst he was nothing but a tool for them to be taken advantage of.

“Xue, what do you... have in hand?”

He was even able to tell that his voice was trembling slightly.

He was gullible and a fickle guy whose heart softened easily. But that didn’t mean that he was a completely stupid man.

Shangguan Ning collapsed onto the ground and her white face had suddenly turned pink. It seemed like she had been... drugged by something.

Interestingly, her fiancée had allowed him, for the very first time, to take Shangguan Ning up in his arms.

What did she say? She was asking him to take Shangguan Ning to Room 1201?

When did she book a hotel room?

She sounded so eager, totally different from the soft and elegant lady as she usually was.

No, no, it was impossible. Zhuojun had always been a gentle and kind woman. She was never going to do anything like that.

But why was he finding it so difficult to believe these words any more?

With a pale face, Shangguan Rouxue shook her head in panic. “Please, Zhuojun, it is not what you think. I didn’t do anything. Please don’t misunderstand me!”

Her large eyes were full of tears, which flowed down along her exquisite face. Her fragile and miserable look was heart-breaking.

Seeing this scene, Yang Wenshu went up to hold her own daughter into her arms. Taking the overcoat as the cover, she put the thing in her daughter’s hand into her own.
