She’s Hard to Get - C243 Join forces with their predecessors
He regretted not pursuing Xu Mengyun earlier. Otherwise, today would at least be the fifth anniversary of their marriage, and not just until the wedding day.
“I think the time is right.” The hem of her wedding dress seemed to fill the entire backseat, covering all of Ling Tian’s legs. She placed her hands in Ling Tian’s hands, “You promised that you will never leave me, that you’ll only love me for your entire life.”
“You’re in too much of a hurry. I made those vows when I was preparing to go to the wedding.”
Ling Tian was too anxious, he was more nervous about the wedding than him. This was the territory of the Xu Family, if she wanted to regret, she could drive him out immediately.
The two of them would laugh at each other from time to time, but when the car turned to look at the second intersection, Ling Tian felt that something was amiss, because every time the car stopped to start again, there would be a burst of strange sounds coming from behind the car, as if something was attached to the bottom of the car.
This unusual voice made Ling Tian frown. His car had been tampered with before, so he was extremely sensitive to this kind of voice. It didn’t take him long to figure out that something must have happened to the car, or at least to the engine.
“Don’t go onto the highway in front. Try to drive in the city and slow down.”
Ling Tian stopped the car in time when it was about to leave, he couldn’t think of anyone who would do anything to it now, but if his goal was to destroy the car, then the surrounding area would definitely be packed with people as much as possible, because everything could be used as a buffer, otherwise, their car would definitely rush down the bridge.
“Why are we walking this way? If we do that, we’ll be stuck in a traffic jam for at least an hour or two.”
Xu Mengyun felt that it was very strange seeing Ling Tian suddenly changing his direction. Although it was not the peak period for commuting, there were a lot of people on the road. If he was stuck in a traffic jam, it would be too late to reach the hotel. They had already set up all the routes and notified their relatives, but now that they had suddenly turned around, there were definitely people who couldn’t keep up.
“There’s something. Just don’t look back and just lean on me.” Ling Tian hugged Xu Mengyun tightly. He was not sure what was on the car, if it was braking, there was a way, but if it was a bomb, they would be in deep trouble.
He could only use his own body to cover Xu Mengyun more, hoping that no matter what happened, he could guarantee her safe survival.
“Mr. Ling, do you want the cars behind us to check?”
The driver and the car behind the wedding car were both Ling Tian’s men, when they saw the change in their owner’s expression, they immediately knew that something had happened to the car. Although they had already checked carefully, when they were trying to pick up the bride, they did not check twice because they wanted to rush the bride.
“Be careful, don’t let anyone see it.”
Ling Tian tried his best to keep his expression calm, he pretended to look around casually, but in reality, he wanted to check if there were people following them around. The people who did something to him must be waiting to watch a good show, so he was not too far away.
The pedestrians and cars on both sides of the window were considered normal, so he informed the car behind him to catch up and use the high-definition camera installed on the bottom of the car to see what the situation was like under the wedding car.
This was a method he used often in the past, it did not need to be close by and was relatively safe, it was not easy to be detected by others, the pictures taken by the camera would be transmitted to his phone. He placed the phone on the seat and secretly looked at it, sure enough, there was a black box installed at the bottom of the car with red flashes on it.
“Damn it!”
Of course, Ling Tian knew what this was. He did not know how powerful this bomb was, but it was enough to blow up their cars, causing the surrounding people to suffer as well. He could open the car door and push Xu Mengyun down, but according to his experience, the bombs on the cars were controlled remotely.
“How about I tell my relatives to take another route and leave.”
When Xu Mengyun saw Ling Tian’s screen, her first reaction was to take out her phone. Previously, when her relatives saw them suddenly change their direction, they already felt that it was very strange, so they all sent messages to ask, was it because there was a tradition of the Mr. Ling family that they needed to take a detour, if they were to stop now, it could at least reduce the damage to the people of Xu Family.
“The convoy cannot be disturbed, otherwise that person would immediately detonate the bomb. Right now, everyone is not following closely behind, as long as the bomb’s power is not too strong, the people from Xu Family should not be affected.”
Ling Tian also felt that this matter was not easy to deal with, he did not know the background of the other party, nor did he know how many people they had arranged for them to be here. Furthermore, they could not stay on the road forever, they had to go to the wedding site, where all the Wealthy Class families were gathered.
“Then what do we do now? If we don’t stop by the hotel from here, it’ll take at most an hour.”
Xu Mengyun looked at the time on her wrist. If it was really a bomb, she would rather rush into the sea herself than cause trouble for others. However, the place Ling Tian chose now was too far away from the seaside.
“Have the people from Ouyang Family arrived at the venue?”
Ling Tian thought that Ouyang Jue was probably the best person to settle this matter. If he could find a reasonable excuse to first evacuate the crowd in the inn, and at the same time notify the explosion team to sneak in, this would be the best way to solve the problem.
“He did arrive, but what if there are still accomplices over there?” Xu Mengyun was worried about the situation at the meeting place, if there were more people installing bombs there, there would be more casualties, and their call would likely alert the enemy.
“We have no other choice. Let’s call Ouyang Jue.”
The one Ling Tian didn’t want to beg the most was Ouyang Jue, but he was the only one left in the venue who could calmly handle this matter, and he could not let things get chaotic over there, only then would he have the chance to save Xu Mengyun.
He had sent someone to check the facilities at the venue this morning, but they didn’t find anything wrong with it, so the possibility of someone installing a bomb there was very small. Furthermore, it was just a large patch of lawn outside the venue.
“What did you say?”
Ouyang Jue knew that he shouldn’t have said anything, but he still couldn’t help but cry out. Xu Family’s wedding was so grand, how could there be such a flaw in his security? In the business world, the Mr. Ling was said to be so mysterious, could it be that she only had this little power?
When he thought about Xu Mengyun and the young master of the Xu Family who was following behind the car, he felt his entire body turning cold. If the bomb really exploded, then the Xu Family would be equivalent to exterminating their entire family. Who on earth had such a huge grudge with Ling Tian, to actually want to use such an extreme method to exterminate them?
“I can’t do anything now that the matter has already happened. Find a reason to get everyone on the lawn, then find someone from the explosion squad to discuss the situation and see if we can stop the car there. I’ll send the video over to you, remember not to panic, otherwise the consequences will be even worse.”
Ling Tian calmly commanded, at the same time, he gave Ouyang Jue the short video taken by the car behind him. The red glow on the bomb was getting more and more obvious, probably still having the time to set it besides the remote control. If they did not reach the designated location or exceeded the range of the remote control, it would automatically detonate.
“I understand. Leave this place to me. Also, I will find some cars to block the surrounding roads and buy some time.”
Although Ouyang Jue blamed Ling Tian in his heart, he knew that it was a race against time. Ning Caier and her own father were both in this venue, if something were to happen here, he didn’t know how to protect the two of them.
“Ouyang, the auspicious hour has arrived. Why haven’t the flowery carriages from Miss Xu arrived yet?”
Ning Caier had rushed here early in the morning, treating all the guests like a waiter. Even her clothes were similar to the attendants here, it was not the set that Ouyang Jue had helped her initially, but this set of clothes had helped her a lot. He did not know who Ling Tian’s enemy was, but he might not be able to recognize that this person was Ning Caier.
At first, he wanted Ning Caier to pretend that nothing had happened and leave. In any case, no one would notice her whereabouts while she was dressed as a waiter, but he also knew how stubborn Ning Caier was. If she knew that she couldn’t save anyone and only wanted to save her, then she wouldn’t be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life.
Cai’er, go to the lawn right now and pretend to be a staff member. Let everyone go stand in the grass and form the word LOVE in their hands. Each of them has a fresh flower in their hand.
Ouyang Jue couldn’t tell anyone here the truth, so he could only cause everyone to think that it was a part of the wedding ceremony. Even if there was an assassin infiltrating this place, they wouldn’t suspect anything.
“I know, I’ll have everyone prepare it.”
The staff members of Xu’s had already received the news and listened to Ning Caier and her commands. As a result, the moment she went out to greet everyone, all the staff immediately became busy. They set up a temporary high platform in the middle of the lawn, with Ning Caier standing at the top to direct them.
The people who came today were all well-known figures. Right now, they were unwilling to let a flower be used by others. Moreover, it had just rained yesterday, so the ground was still wet and slippery. It was inevitable that their clothes and shoes would be stained.
But today was Xu Family’s day of celebration, so it was reasonable for the guests to help set the atmosphere. If they stood still in the hall, it would be too disrespectful to Xu Family, so despite everyone’s unwillingness, they still lined up the various letters on the lawn in accordance to Ning Caier’s request.
Ouyang Jue saw the people in the hall slowly walk out, and the expression on his face slowly relaxed. Just now, he had already discussed this matter with the Extinguishing Group, and they agreed on his method of evacuating the crowd first. After that, they would disguise themselves as service personnel to conduct a secret inspection.
It was just that Ling Tian and his car were having a hard time. They didn’t know what they should do to remove the bomb without being discovered, so they could only send a few more people around to avoid too many casualties.
“As soon as possible.” Ouyang Jue had been wearing his headphones and speaking softly, his speech was simple, making people think that he was doing business, but his shoulder was suddenly slapped, followed by an old man walking over.
“Did you do this on purpose? You want us to listen to that little girl’s commands and tell you that we are giving face to the Xu Family. If you want to marry her, you can forget about it!”
