Chapter 558


    Hansen''s muscles tensed up, and he instinctively pulled Jenna into his arms.


    What was going on?


    With a scream on the stage, a muffled voice sounded as if something had fallen heavily to the


    ground.


    The air was dead silent for a second. It was as if a pot had exploded.


    "Oh, God. Someone''s been murdered."


    "Let''s run. There''s a gangster."


    "Blood!"


    All of a sudden, all sorts of horrible screams echoed throughout the ce, and the scene soon


    turned chaotic.


    "Alvin." Hansen was the first to react as he roared anxiously.


    Alvin quickly jumped onto the stage.


    "Mr. Richards, someone assassinated Reid," Alvin informed Hansen quickly.


    Trevor also seemed to be stunned by the gunshot. He, who had experienced many significant


    events, quickly reacted and immediately ordered Lomen, who was standing next to him. "Lomen, go


    and catch the murderer. We can''t let him escape."


    Lomen had long reacted. Without waiting for Trevor to finish speaking, he sprung off the stage and


    ran towards the direction of where the bullet came from.


    Trevor picked up the microphone.


    "Everyone, don''t panic. A gangster has snuck into the wedding. Don''t worry. There are policemen in


    Richards Manor. Nothing bad will happen. Please calm down."


    "Uncle Reid, Uncle Reid." Liya''s heart was torn apart. After the crowd fell silent for a short period of


    time, her piercing voice reverberated throughout the entire ce.


    Jenna was in Hansen''s arms from beginning to end. She did not see the bullet tearing through


    Reid''s body, but when she heard Liya''s sorrowful scream, she was shocked and immediately


    realized what had happened. She then shivered and covered her stomach with her hands


    involuntarily.


    "Alvin, escort Madam Marissa, Madam Jenna, and the guests to the Ink Garden immediately." By


    that time, Hansen had already understood what had happened. He then immediately ordered Alvin


    with a calm expression. ncing at Jenna, he walked towards Reid.


    Marissa''s face had already turned pale, and her lips were trembling. She had even forgotten to


    shout.


    She would never have imagined that such a bloody scene would happen in Richards Manor.


    "Madam, hurry up and bring Madam Marissa and the guests away from this ce." Out of nowhere,


    Paul had already arrived at Jenna''s side. While Alvin was supporting the trembling Marissa, he


    calmly reminded her.


    When Jenna heard Paul''s voice, she realized that the big event she had imagined was here.


    After that, a strong smell of blood drifted into her nose, and she looked around.


    On one side of the magnificent stage, Reid was covering his left chest with one hand, and scarlet


    blood was constantly seeping out from his fingertips. More and more blood flowed out. He then bent


    down and fell on the stage with his body curled up. His face was terribly pale, and his eyes were full


    of despair and anger.


    "Everyone, don''t worry. Quickly, go to the Ink Garden with the electric vehicles." Jenna''s mind


    quickly calmed down. She rushed down the stage and saw several electric vehicles parked at the


    exit of Central Ind. They were the electric vehicles Hansen had prepared to evacuate guests.


    After a burst of panic, when they heard Jenna''s calm voice as she walked towards them in a


    commanding manner without a trace of fear, the guests calmed down a lot. Then, all of them


    scrambled to get onto the electric vehicles.


    "Don''t worry. Nothing will happen. We are now in the midst of catching the murderer." She


    comforted the guests with Alvin standing closely by her side while Paul''s eagle- like eyes swept


    across the surroundings to pay attention to unexpected events that might ur.


    After a while, the guests evacuated one after another.


    "Madam, please go to the Ink Garden as well in case of any emergency." After Jenna evacuated the


    guests, she did not rush back to the Ink Garden. Instead, she walked towards the stage, which


    made Alvin anxious, and he hurriedly tried to persuade her. It was time for Jenna to leave that


    dangerous ce ording to the n.


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    "Rx, I have Paul protecting me. It will be fine." Jenna merely smiled faintly and continued to walk


    towards the middle of the stage.


    She was the host of the wedding. How could she


    not be present?


    "Mr. Richards, bad news. ude was held hostage by Reid''s men, heading here," John shouted


    anxiously at Hansen on the other side of the phone.


    ording to the n, when ude was escorted into Richards Group Manor, he would lead the


    men he had prepared in advance to surround them before the police took action. He wanted to


    catch the turtle in the urn before the wedding was held and save ude quickly. Then, he could


    then announce to the public that the wedding was invalid. However, everything was disrupted by a


    gunshot.


    John was surprised.


    This gunshot was not something they had ounted for. Hansen gave them the order to try their


    best to capture Reid''s men alive and rescue ude.


    At that time, Reid was still attending the wedding. It was really not right for such a gunshot to ring


    out at that moment.


    What the h*lI went wrong?


    There was no time to think about it carefully. Reid''s subordinates soon learnt that Reid had been


    shot. They then turned hostile in an instant and didn''t want to hand ude over anymore.


    Right then, they were all nervous as they realized that something big was about to happen. In order


    to protect themselves, they hurriedly pushed ude in front of them and pointed a gun towards his


    head.


    "Don''t move. If anyone dares to move, then I''ll kill him immediately," One of Reid''s subordinates


    roared fiercely.


    John was at a loss at what to do.


    "Don''t panic. Go and nk them immediately." Hansen''s face was gloomy. After ncing at the


    scene, his deep and stern eyes fell on Reid, and he immediately ordered John.


    Warm, red liquid was constantly gushing out of Reid''s chest, and the blood quickly dyed the carpet


    next to him red.


    The whole atmosphere was gloomy and horrible to the extreme.


    "Call the family doctor over at once." Hansen approached Reid and ordered Maud loudly.


    "Uncle Reid, Uncle Reid." Liya quickly pounced onto Reid''s body and cried miserably. That


    heartwrenching pain made her feel like dying. Reid was the person who treated her the best in her


    life. How could he be shot?


    "Liya, don''t cry. I''m about to leave. In the future, you have to learn to protect yourself." Knowing that


    his life was about toe to an end, Reid tried to give Liya hisst piece of advice while trembling.


    "No. Uncle Reid, I want you to protect me for the rest of my life," Liya cried in agony as her entire


    body was on the verge of copse.


    Hansen stood with a dark expression as he fixed his gaze on Reid. His mind was spinning rapidly.


    Just what was going on?


    Who was the one who fired the gun?


    He had been waiting for John to rescue ude and capture Reid''s men alive. Then, he could start


    to take action. In order to buy some time, he and Trevor both prepared gifts for Liya, so that they


    could dy the wedding procedures. Halfway through the wedding, he finally saw the signal and


    learnt that Reid''s men had already brought ude to the designated location.


    However, something unexpected happened at that moment!


    "Hansen, you''ve betrayed your promise and turned against me." Reid pointed at Hansen with rage


    building in his eyes.


    Hansen took a step forward and bent down. He lowered his head and said sincerely, "Reid, I didn''t


    lie to you. My men aren''t the ones who shot you. I''ve already given the order to go after that person.


    Right now, the police have already surrounded Richards Manor. You must believe that we''re all


    trying our best to find the murderer. We only wanted to catch you alive and had no intention of killing


    you."


    Reid''s face was distorted. Blood spewed out of his mouth, dying his teeth red. His mouth was then


    dyed in a bloody red, making him look horrifying.


    "Hansen, if it wasn''t for my niece, and if it wasn''t for her happiness'' sake, then I would''ve killed


    ude a long time ago. Today, I took the initiative to send him to Richards Manor and fell into your


    trap. I admit my defeat, but let me tell you, if you don''t treat Liya well in the future, then I won''t let


    you off even if I''m in theherworld," he said, word for word, gritting his teeth.


    His words sounded tragic, and it reeked of blood, soaking into Hansen''s heart, bit by bit, as well as


    Jenna''s, who was slowly approaching them.


    Jenna''s vision began to darken.


    What kind of debt was that? Was it a romantic debt or in revenge? Why did it fall onto Hansen''s


    head?


    "Reid, Reid." A rough and angry voice came straight from below the stage. Jenna slowly turned


    around upon hearing that, and she saw a few vicious men holding onto ude anding up the


    stage.


    "Reid, they failed to keep their promise and killed you. We''re going to avenge you." The eyes of the


    man at the front were bloodshot, and he had already lost his mind.


    "Don''t be in such a hurry. We didn''t shoot Reid. Let''s have a proper discussion and save Reid''s life


    first." Trevor clenched the rosary beads in his hand as he felt extremely pained by that bloody


    scene.


    "Bah, who are you fooling? Who will believe you?" The eyes of the man in the lead were red as he


    angrily rebuked, "Right now, we are surrounded by police, and you still say that you hadn''t nned


    this. It''s obvious that you guys are behind this. We fell into your hands as soon as we entered


    Richards Manor. How dare youmit such a hateful act like going back on your word?"


    Each of them raised the guns in their hands.


    "Today, either you let us go, or well die together." The leading man pushed ude closer to Reid


    step by step.


    "Reid." When they saw that Reid was lying on the ground and dying, they growled angrily.


    Everyone was forced to take a few steps back due to their guns.


    The ck muzzle was aimed at everyone present, and the situation had be extremely


    dangerous.


    "You have all been surrounded. Put down your guns quickly, so that you guys can have more lenient


    punishments." Christopher, who was outside, was even more anxious. Initially, after rescuing


    ude, he had nned to capture all of them alive, but the current situation had changed for the


    worse.


    Right then, they were holding ude hostage. It was very likely that they would hurt everyone on


    the stage. After all, they all had real guns in their hands.


    Who in the world was the d*mned guy who fired the shot?


    Christopher cursed.


    If he didn''t handle the matter properly that day, blood would spill onto the grounds of Richards


    Manor.


    There were a lot of lives. If he didn''t handle the case well, then he would bring shame to Mr.


    Matthews'' name, and it was very likely that he would lose his career.


    "Why are you still here?" When Hansen turned his head and saw that Jenna was still behind him.


    His expression immediately changed drastically.


    Jenna''s face was pale, and her expression was slightly nk, but her face remained calm.


    There wasn''t a single woman on the scene other than her and Liya.


    Paul and Alvin had always been by her side.


    She knew that Paul was protecting her, but she didn''t know that even Alvin had received Hansen''s


    order to protect her.


    During the whole process, she got to understand Hansen''s scheme.


    Surely enough, Hansen really used that wedding as a trap to save ude.


    He didn''t really want to marry Liya. That was a fact.


    "Hansen, it''s fine. I''m not afraid." She forced a smile at Hansen.


    "Have you gone mad?" Hansen frantically pulled Jenna to the side when he saw her. "Do you really


    not know what danger is? How can you stay in such a ce at a time like this? How do you want


    me to be at ease and fight with them? Why do you constantly make me worry?"


    Hansen gnashed his teeth, and the blue veins on his forehead bulged as he said that. He really


    wanted to give her a good beating on the spot.


    How could that d*mned woman be so calm when facing such a terrible and bloody scene? Was she


    not afraid of death?


    Nevertheless, Jenna smiled fearlessly and said half-jokingly, "Hansen, since I had to host this


    wedding personally, it''s my obligation to stay here from the start to the end. I''m not afraid of


    anything. I''m just afraid that you will change your mind."
