Chapter 533: A Conspiracy
He does not mean that.
The old man scolded a liar, and some people in the Huo family felt that he was referring to Sang and Huai, which was really good!
Aren't Huo Rong and Huo Lin just two big liars? ! Who doesn't know that this engagement is fake? Isn't it just to make Huo Rong more legitimate as the head of the family?
After thinking about it, no one dared to reveal the slightest clue on the bright side.
Because Huo Rong's methods were too terrifying, no one dared to offend him.
The servants in the manor quickly cleaned up the broken glass on the ground. The steward took the snacks on the table to coax the old man to eat, the old man was moody, like a child, a little sweets immediately dispelled his anger, and he became happy again.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall returned to normal, everyone started eating, drinking, talking and laughing again, and there were more people on the dance floor.
Mu Zi sat on one side of the table, watching Sarah acting like a baby with Huo Lin from a distance.
Huo Lin's method of coaxing his wife was also novel. She took out banknotes from the red envelope given by Mrs. Huo, folded them into airplanes one by one, then held Sarah in her arms, and taught her to throw the paper airplane.
The banknote plane landed on the snow-patterned marble floor, and Sarah giggled non-stop in Holly's arms.
"What are you looking at?" At some point, Gu Liang sat down beside her.
Mu Zi came back to her senses and smiled: "No, just take a look."
"Do you want to dance?" Gu Liang invited her again.
Mu Zi shook her head and explained: "Just now I sprained my ankle and it still hurts."
In fact, it doesn't hurt much anymore, but the shoes are really rubbing her feet, she doesn't want to move, and she also realizes that she doesn't really know how to dance, it's just that Gu Liang danced well just now.
Gu Liang said: "Sit down, I'll get you something to eat, what do you want to eat?"
Mu Zi felt that it was not good to trouble others, so she declined politely: "No, I can go by myself in a while."
Gu Liang looked at her with a smile, as if a little helpless, and said: "Miss Mu, please give a gentleman a chance to express himself."
Mu Zi couldn't help laughing, and replied: "Okay, please bring me a mousse cake, thank you, Young Master Gu."
Gu Liang smiled and got up to get food, when suddenly the hall was dark and the lights went out.
Just a few seconds after the lights went out, there was a huge explosion from outside the manor!
Explosion means attack.
An attack means someone will die!
The banquet hall immediately became chaotic.
Everyone here is highly alert to danger, and will save their lives as soon as something happens!
Before the eyes could adapt to the darkness, someone had already opened the curtains, and the light from outside shone in, hitting everyone's faces, revealing every trace of fear.
Murong Cheng's subordinates came in from the outside and said, "It was Young Master Sixteen's car that was blown up."
"Damn!" A rude curse sounded from the crowd, which must have come from that young master Huo Shiliu.
At this time, another ear-piercing scream sounded in the hall: "The old man is dead!"
Everyone turned their heads in horror, and looked at Mrs. Huo at the far end of the hall——
Mrs. Huo was slumped on the seat, a knife was stabbed deeply into his chest, and the bright red blood was slowly soaking through the double-breasted cotton shirt on his body...
Everything happened too fast, first the lights went out, then there was an explosion, and now, Old Master Mu died.
...died at this engagement banquet.
"Someone killed the old man while the lights were off!"
"Who did it?!"
"This is a conspiracy! Deliberately detonate the car, divert everyone's attention, and then kill the old man!"
"Hodge! You were the closest to the old man just now! Did you do it?!"
"I've been sitting here without moving, why don't you spit blood!"
Amidst the discussions, some people began to attack each other.
Someone suddenly raised his voice: "Huo Rong! Is this your conspiracy?! The old man has been recuperating well in his hometown, and something happened when he came to your banquet! You deliberately designed all this!"
