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 place, 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 place.
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. Glancing 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 place." 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 Island. 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 occur.
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 place according to the plan.
"Relax, 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. Claude was held hostage by Reid's men, heading here," John shouted anxiously at Hansen on the other side of the phone.
According to the plan, when Claude 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 Claude 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 accounted for. Hansen gave them the order to try their best to capture Reid's men alive and rescue Claude.
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 Claude 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 Claude 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 flank them immediately." Hansen's face was gloomy. After glancing 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.
