Chapter 1296: Chapter 1275: Wedding Banquet Turmoil (4)
"Hahaha!" Quan Mingyuan burst into laughter, grabbing Xiao Lin who was just a step away, pulling him in and then pushing him away, beckoning to the people nearby. "That’s right, I don’t need to deal with someone like you. Disable him for me and chop off an arm to hand over to Hua Qingyi, so he understands the importance of disciplining his subordinates."
"Yes!" From the shadows emerged two men with indifferent expressions and a bloodthirsty aura, seemingly this person’s bodyguards. Their presence was somewhat imposing. Xiao Lin glanced around without saying anything.
The men flanked Xiao Lin from front and back, the chilling murderous intent locking him in the middle, the stench of blood palpable. Judging by their stance, their grappling and combat skills were likely above average, more than sufficient to protect this young master type. However, against formidable foes, they were still somewhat lacking. Given their age, if they served in elite units, their ranks should not be low or perhaps they could enter higher confidentiality departments, but to have fallen to becoming bodyguards, the economic temptation must be significant!
"I want this guy’s arm." Quan Mingyuan was quite confident in these two’s abilities, whether in close combat or weaponry, they were top-notch individuals. When the old man asked him to choose two people to bring along, he valued their obedience and adherence to commands.
The others, seeing Quan Mingyuan meant business, displayed excitement, forgetting about the woman from earlier who had disappeared who knows where. A battle of trapped beasts was a game they always enjoyed, tightly closing in the encirclement. Despite the excitement, they were still aware of the occasion, causing too much commotion wouldn’t be easy to wrap up.
"Yes!" Quan Mingyuan shouted, and the two men acted simultaneously. The man behind Xiao Lin swung his right leg to the ground, intercepting Xiao Lin’s retreat path. His left hand pushed forward, aiming for Xiao Lin’s lower back, while his right hand swung around his shoulder, reaching for his mouth, the movement was executed flawlessly, absolutely clean and efficient.
As the man at the rear acted, the other man also cleverly extended his left hand forward, like an eagle swooping down for prey, swiftly grabbing for Xiao Lin’s right hand. As he approached the target, his right hand transitioned into a hand-knife, chopping down at the wrist’s acupoint, leaving no room for retaliation.
The two men’s moves were excessively fierce, rapid and firm, each attack sealing off Xiao Lin’s escape routes, leaving no opportunity, a combination deemed perfect, forcing Xiao Lin into a position with nowhere to defend or evade.
Quan Mingyuan saw Xiao Lin being forced to dodge around, feeling increasingly pleased, laughing triumphantly while catching sight of the fleeing woman. He stepped forward and dragged her back. The woman’s scream caused Xiao Lin to turn his head to glance in their direction, his mouth curled into a sneer.
"Bastard!" Dodging the men’s pincer attack front and back, Xiao Lin cursed. For an ordinary person facing these two brothers’ onslaught, bloodshed would have been inevitable, but their opponent was no ordinary bodyguard. Just as they were about to succeed, Xiao Lin’s body twisted at an angle unimaginable, maneuvering out of the encirclement to the woman’s side. "Idiotic." He grabbed the woman’s wrist, forcefully pulling her into his embrace, regardless of the situation on the other side, yanking the woman over. At the same time, he lightly slapped her back, sending her out of the pavilion.
In those young masters’ eyes, the whole action was like a fleeting flower, occurring so quickly they couldn’t see clearly. Having thrown the woman, it seemed impossible for Xiao Lin to escape two men’s attack circles, yet easily, he appeared behind Quan Mingyuan. His right hand extended forward from the right, clutching his throat, the fingertips scraped a bloody mark on his skin, the left index finger rapidly pressed down on his back over ten points, a surge of intense pain consumed him, erupting a beastly roar.
Quan Mingyuan’s body stiffened, the once smug face now pale, devoid of blood, eyes bulging out, looking extremely ghastly.
The sudden change occurred so abruptly that the two bodyguards had no chance to react, stunned on the spot. "I told you, don’t go too far." Xiao Lin struck Quan Mingyuan’s back with the same technique, just like when he first attacked him, then kicked his behind, sending him crashing in front of his two bodyguards. "To play tough, you must have the capital, and you, really don’t have it."
Quan Mingyuan glared wide-eyed, the agony inflicted by Xiao Lin on his back rendered him unable to move an inch, feeling as if even breathing and heartbeats had ceased, leaving him feeling like a corpse. In his trembling mouth, only hissing sounds could escape, his rage evidently visible.
"Kill him for me!" Gasping for breath, Quan Mingyuan pointed at Xiao Lin and roared furiously, startling the others who snapped back to reality and joined in shouting angrily.
The noise erupted, already drawing quite a bit of attention, and at this moment, seeing someone injured, people became even more alarmed, feeling unrest and anxiety. Silence vanished, quickly replaced by the uproar, whether those inside or outside the venue were intrigued by this small disturbance, curious to know what had happened, but more importantly, they held a sense of amusement. To cause trouble at the Murong Family banquet, one wouldn’t be considered a mere brat; without the confidence, who would dare provoke easily?
The calm after the disturbance lasted only briefly as people awakened from the shock encircled Xiao Lin, while another group entered from the side. Seeing Quan Mingyuan slumped on his bodyguard, they immediately turned to glare at Xiao Lin with anger.
Xiao Lin scrutinized the middle-aged man in uniform, assessing his identity. Meanwhile, another person pushed through the crowd, not seeking Xiao Lin but rather a woman huddled at the side. "Xun Xiangxiang, where have you run off to?" Seeing the woman with a face that appeared as if she had just been crying, the man gently pulled her into his embrace. Shortly, a middle-aged beautiful woman squeezed through as well, feeling much relaxed seeing the two people, completely unaware of the current tense atmosphere.
It really is Xun Xiangxiang! At first, there was a bit of doubt; the Xun Xiangxiang from memory was like a little rascal, but she appeared much ladylike now, her temperament seemed to have altered a lot. But how did she end up at Elder Murong’s birthday celebration? Wasn’t she supposed to be in the United States? Many questions emerged but ultimately watched as she was whisked away by a man and a woman.
"What happened?" The man in military attire didn’t intervene, nor did he inquire further, except for his unstoppable anger towards Xiao Lin. "What did you do to him?" Observing Quan Mingyuan’s pained expression, the man felt an impulse to draw a gun and shoot Xiao Lin dead on the spot.
"Uncle Quan, this bastard tried to kill me." Quan Mingyuan acted as if his rescue had arrived, immediately shouting for help while the young masters nearby also voiced their support, instantly turning the scene into an attempted murder situation. Everyone aimed their accusations at Xiao Lin.
Recognized as Uncle Quan, he cast a glance at Xiao Lin before loudly reprimanding those beside him, "Why are you standing idly? Save him first!"
"This..." The hotel security had some qualms about these upper-echelon individuals, regardless of who was who and who knew each other. None entering were ordinary people, if they were forced forward, if refused release, whether to fight or not became the dilemma. If indeed a bodyguard, the master behind them was unknown. The saying goes ’when you beat a dog, look at the owner,’ attacking the wrong party could ruin their employment.
"What this? Need me to repeat a second time? If anything happens to my nephew here today, see who dares to take responsibility." Seeing the hesitant inaction of these people, the official named Quan explosively roared, disregarding the occasion or the people standing around. Losing face was the real issue.
"This, Mr. Xiao, we... you..." Someone with keen observation recognized Xiao Lin as the young master who once dined with Elder Murong, meaning he is Murong Family’s future son-in-law. Nonetheless, outside rumors seem otherwise, complicating this relationship somewhat. As the security wandered about uncertain, the actual person finally emerged.
"Darling, how did you manage to cause commotion the moment I turned away? Oh, right, Grandpa and the others are still waiting for you, and Uncle Xiao is here too." Murong Lengyue looped her arm around Xiao Lin’s, her seductive eyes swept over Quan Mingyuan, eventually landing on Xiao Lin’s expressionless face, noticing the throbbing veins on his neck, seeming quite uncomfortable restraining himself, chuckling, leaning closer to Xiao Lin, her breath wafting over his neck.
Inwardly, Xiao Lin sighed; surely Quan Xianglin wouldn’t miss such a grand event, yet surprisingly, the first to hit a brick wall came from the Quan Family. Unexpectedly, Quan Xianglin has such a good-for-nothing son, deservedly unlucky, his dark eyes glancing coldly at Quan Mingyuan, discomfortingly chilly. "Self-defense."
"Hehe, indeed it’s you." Murong Lengyue let go of Xiao Lin. "Uncle Quan, I believe there must be a misunderstanding, Young Master Quan, don’t you agree?"
Uncle Quan noticed Murong Lengyue’s intimacy with this young man; however, without fathoming who he was precisely, planning to take advantage of this grand feast, allowing Quan Mingyuan and Murong Lengyue to connect, potentially becoming relatives through alliance would be quite beneficial. Despite external rumors suggesting she already united with the Xiao Family, such rumors lacked credibility without joyous tidings for so long, fearing it fell through. Now intervening could appropriately fill the gap.
Just then, a tall and handsome man with blue eyes, escorting a kawaii Oriental lady, approached. "Young Master Xiao, so, you’ve come too!" (To be continued.
