"What? Why is the door locked? Get out of the way!"

The person behind didn't believe it and pushed the person in front away to open the door, only to find that the door had been locked with a chain from the outside at some point.

Their faces turned pale. "Why is this happening? Who wants to do this?"

Soon, someone pointed the finger at Chen Jiedong and Chen Yingying.

"Chen Jidong! You deliberately tricked us into coming here with the excuse of a 60th anniversary dinner and locked us in here. What are you trying to do?"

Chen Jidong obviously didn't expect it to turn out like this, and he immediately denied it, "The power outage was an accident, I've asked someone to deal with it, don't panic!"

"How can we not panic? The gunshots just now were aimed at taking our lives!"

"Mr. Chen, Prince Henry is still here. If you dare to act rashly, be careful that you will be punished by the royal guards!"

"Yes, we are going to ask the prince to decide for us!"

Chen Yingying's previous plan with Mianmian was to knock the people down at this stage, take them to the basement for interrogation one by one, collect their confessions, and ask the prince to help deal with them.

But the current situation is completely different from what they planned.

Which link is the problem?

Or did the other party see through their plan and was prepared?

But she knew she couldn't panic now, so she spoke up immediately.

"Please be quiet, we in the Chen family were not expecting something like this to happen tonight. But for now, everyone try to find a place to hide, and don't run around!"

"Mianmian!"

"Mianmian, come to big brother quickly."

Ruan Zhaoliang and Ruan Shenxing heard noises coming from her when the accident happened. After a long time, she still didn't come back, and the two couldn't help but worry.

"Baby, where are you?" Meng Yunxiu was protected by Ruan Zhaoliang, her eyes still searching around.

As soon as the accident happened, Xu Qingya held Meng Wen in her arms. Meng Linsheng was a step slower and could only move the two to the side.

Meng Bingyi was closest to Ruan Xingmian and Fu Siyan, and was the first to see them take action.

Before he could be shocked by his niece's excellent skills, Fu Siyan pushed him to his eldest brother's side.

Hearing the voices of my third sister and brother-in-law at this moment, I couldn't help but worry.

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

The guards who were secretly protecting Henry were shocked by this sudden change before they left.

Just as he was about to escort the prince away, he was kicked hard and fell backwards.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, the prince would have fallen flat on his face.

You know, the prince pays the most attention to his image, especially in front of Hua Qing. Now that he has fallen so miserably, he must be angry!

"Haha."

Unexpectedly, the next second, Henry rubbed his chest and stood up with a smile.

The guard was stunned: "..."

Could it be that the prince was kicked silly?

"Qingqing, I know you were protecting me just now. Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you tonight."

As soon as Henry finished speaking, another cold voice spread.

"Don't worry, Prince. I can protect my fiancée myself."

Fu Siyan quickly walked up to Ruan Xingmian and sniffed her for any blood.

The little girl pushed her away deliberately to prevent the bullet from hitting him, and he didn't know whether she was scratched by the broken vase.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Ruan Xingmian responded, and then said to his eldest brother and parents: "Mom, Dad, big brother, I'm fine."

Because my eyes have adapted to the darkness brought by the power outage, the backstage is no longer pitch dark, and the surroundings are dimly illuminated.

The entire hall seemed to have been baptized by a storm. The dining table, which was filled with exquisite snacks and red wine, was pushed over at some point, and the exquisite tableware fell to the ground.

Most of the neatly arranged chairs had fallen over, and even the carpet was covered with traces of varying depths, making it look like a maze with no way out.

The guests scattered around.

Some of them crowded at the farthest exit, their eyes horrified and their faces pale;

Some of them hid in the corners of the hall, looking around nervously;

Only a small number of people stayed where they were, but because of the crowd and the congestion, they had no way to leave, and they had to avoid being trampled by the crowd. Their decent dresses and coats were covered with stains and shoe prints.

The whole scene was chaotic and shocking.

It was the first time that Xu Qingya and Meng Wen saw such a situation, and they both gasped.

It was only now that they noticed a group of bodyguards blocking the outermost perimeter.

Because of their protection, they who were in the first row were not affected by the chaos.

"Dad, these bodyguards..."

Meng Linsheng looked at the well-trained bodyguards and shook his head gently, "I didn't arrange them, and they don't look like the Meng family's bodyguards."

"It was arranged by Mian Mian." Meng Bingyi explained, "She guessed that things would get a little uneasy tonight, so she asked them to disguise themselves as waiters and hide around."

"She guessed it a long time ago?" Meng Yunxiu was shocked. She immediately looked at Ruan Xingmian who was some distance away from them and said worriedly, "Such a big thing, why didn't this kid tell us!"

"I guess she doesn't want us to worry." Ruan Zhaoliang comforted her and looked over there, "But Mianmian has Xiaoyan and the prince over there, so she shouldn't be in trouble."

"How could this happen? The prince is still here, how dare the other party do this!" Meng Yunxiu didn't understand.

"Yingying, is this also your and Mianmian's plan?" Meng Bingyi asked the person next to him in a low voice.

Chen Yingying did not answer him immediately, but turned to look at Ruan Xingmian not far away.

Ruan Xingmian nodded at her.

Chen Yingying's eyes changed slightly, and then she lowered her voice and said to Meng Bingyi, "Ayi, don't ask about this matter for now. Now tell everyone to stop talking and follow me!"

Meng Bingyi's eyes turned cold. Could it be that this accident was not part of their plan?

He did not dare to delay and hurried to convey the message to Ruan Zhaoliang and Meng Linsheng.

"Second uncle, you take my parents away first, I'll stay here." Ruan Shenxing rejected his suggestion. He was worried about his sister still being here.

Meng Bingyi disagreed, "If you stay here, you will only become a bargaining chip for others to threaten her."

"No." Ruan Shenxing gently lifted his suit jacket, revealing a black pistol hidden inside.

Meng Bingyi's eyes changed slightly, "How could you..."

Ruan Shenxing did not explain, but said calmly: "Second uncle, I know Mianmian. Even if I can't guess her plan, I won't let her take risks alone."

Chen Yingying had long heard that the eldest brother of the Ruan family was a rigorous and thorough person, and that he was very likely to lead the Ruan Group to another peak.

Now that I see it, it is indeed the case.

"Okay, then you stay here and sleep with me. I'll need you to help me attract attention and rescue the others later."

Ruan Shenxing suddenly thought of something and asked, "Are there other mechanisms here?"

"Yes." Chen Yingying nodded. This was also the reason why she held the dinner party in a private villa.

To prevent accidents, many places here have been changed, and no one knows about it except her and her father.

"Ding Ding-"

Suddenly, there was a sound of silver hitting glass somewhere.

This seems like some kind of signal.

The next second, the dark hall suddenly lit up again.
