Chapter 1014 Chaos at the Scene
"My love story with my dear Ran goes like this: we've known each other since we were very, very young, and I fell in love with Ran from the very beginning..."
Ye Haitao quickly composed himself, looked at Xiao Ran with deep affection, and said...
Although Ye Haitao is not a suitable candidate to be the head of the Ye family, and his abilities are even somewhat mediocre, this does not mean that he is really very ordinary.
On the contrary, he was handsome, served as the company chairman for many years, and had excellent oratory skills.
At this moment, in a burst of inspiration, he spoke fluently and eloquently, every word and sentence filled with boundless emotion, instantly attracting everyone's attention!
Wow, that was so well said, it was so touching!
Our Mr. Ye is truly the most affectionate man in the world…
At the opportune moment, David York shouted exaggeratedly, and the lights flickered in response, like a ballroom, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.
Ye Haitao was getting into the swing of things, speaking more and more fluently and passionately, and was about to reach the climax of his story, recounting how Xiao Ran had agreed to be his woman and to date him.
Everyone's attention was drawn to his words.
boom!
Suddenly, a huge explosion rang out, the ground shook violently, and everyone screamed in unison. Even Ye Haitao was stunned and involuntarily looked towards the southwest corner of the hall.
Smoke billowed around the southwest corner in an instant, and many people were covered in dust and dirt from the explosion.
exploded!
Something exploded!
"Oh no! It's a bomb!"
"Bomb! Someone's throwing a bomb!"
"Someone is planning a terrorist attack!"
"Everyone, get out of the way! Get out of the way quickly!"
……
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, not just one person, but several people shouting at the same time.
These exclamations instantly plunged thousands of people in the hall into panic, screaming incessantly.
In an instant, there was a lot of noise and chaos as countless people desperately rushed towards the exit!
At the same time, Ye Haitao stopped talking, staring in shock at everything in front of him, his face full of bewilderment.
But then host David York suddenly screamed, "Run! There's a terrorist attack going on!"
Before he finished speaking, he turned and ran off the stage.
His shout threw the entire venue into complete chaos.
"David, David York, what are you doing?"
The female host, Li Mengxi, immediately came to her senses and reprimanded her sternly.
Are you kidding me? As the hosts, they must remain calm in this situation, reassure the audience, and absolutely not lose their composure!
Moreover, they were specially invited by the Ye family.
David York didn't even turn his head; he jumped off the stage.
This is how people like them handle things; when faced with danger, their first consideration is personal safety.
His escape caused complete chaos at the venue.
"How could it have turned out like this?"
Ye Boxiong was instantly enraged, emanating a chilling aura that sent shivers down the spines of those around him.
The owner of the Imperial Capital Building, who had been standing next door, was so frightened that he trembled and collapsed to the ground.
It's over, it's over, it's really over!
His biggest fear was that something bad would happen, and to his surprise, it did.
As David of York fled, the chaos in the hall intensified.
Inside the Xiao family's private room, Madam Xiao and her son Xiao Yuanqing suddenly stood up, almost immediately wanting to rush out.
Their intuition told them it must be related to Xiao Wenbo.
To this day, they have not heard any news about Xiao Wenbo.
Just as they rushed out, several people suddenly rushed up from below the platform. One of them, limping, lunged straight at Xiao Ran, who was still in a daze.
It's Xiao Wenbo!
That person is definitely Xiao Wenbo!
When Madam Xiao and Xiao Yuanqing saw this scene, their hearts nearly jumped out of their throats.
Only they know Xiao Wenbo's physical condition best.
But the person's face was completely unfamiliar.
The two men immediately realized something was terribly wrong and frantically shouted, "Grab those people who went up on stage! Grab them now!"
Before they finished speaking, Xiao Wenbo, who was limping, had already rushed up to Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran instantly realized that her father, Xiao Wenbo, had escaped, was furious, and had set up a trap to cause trouble.
She knew better than anyone what kind of person her father, Xiao Wenbo, was; he was definitely going to cause a huge mess.
But today, dressed in a formal gown and custom-made high heels, she didn't have time to turn around and run away, and the elaborate gown also prevented her from dodging quickly.
At this critical moment, Ye Haitao suddenly rushed over.
But before he could reach Xiao Ran, he was stopped by someone.
In a moment of desperation, Ye Haitao kicked out, taking advantage of his height and long legs, and landed a kick on Xiao Wenbo.
Xiao Wenbo stumbled and fell onto Xiao Ran!
Without hesitation, he grabbed Xiao Ran tightly, his right hand gripping her neck tightly, and shouted fiercely, "Stop it, all of you! Take a good look at who I am!"
This roar actually connected to the venue's sound system and echoed throughout the hall, making everyone's eardrums buzz.
With his roar, almost everyone stopped what they were doing.
At that very moment, the lights returned to normal, and the entire venue became bright and dazzling.
Guo Qiu and the others who accompanied Xiao Wenbo onto the stage rolled off the platform at top speed amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, disappearing into the chaotic crowd.
At the same time, the bodyguards from the Xiao family and the Ye family rushed onto the platform and surrounded Xiao Wenbo and Xiao Ran.
"Don't come any closer, or I'll strangle her!"
Seeing the bodyguards approaching menacingly, Xiao Wenbo knew the situation was urgent. He immediately roared again and tightened his grip. Xiao Ran's face instantly turned red, and he struggled to breathe.
Upon seeing this, the bodyguards were so frightened that they quickly retreated.
What a joke! This is Miss Xiao, the leading lady of today's banquet. She absolutely cannot be allowed to get hurt!
"Sir, please don't act rashly!"
Li Mengxi, being the radio station's chief host, did not flee in panic like York David. Instead, she calmed down and loudly advised him.
"All of you, get back! Stay away from me! I'll strangle anyone who comes near!"
Xiao Wenbo roared with a ferocious expression, his voice amplified through the microphone, causing the hall to vibrate and tremble.
"Okay, we'll step back. Please calm down and don't act impulsively!"
Li Mengxi quickly waved her hand and took two steps back.
Everyone present stopped and stared intently at the scene on the stage.
Almost everyone stared wide-eyed, unable to believe that such a thing could happen at the engagement banquet between the Xiao and Ye families.
A lame man rushed onto the stage and grabbed the bride-to-be by the neck.
Those top families sitting in the front row of the VIP seats, as well as representatives of many second- and third-rate forces, all stared wide-eyed at the cripple on the stage.
A strange face, but the voice was incredibly familiar, sounding exactly like Xiao Ran's father, Xiao Wenbo!
Xiao Wenbo has not appeared since the ceremony began, which had already sparked much discussion among the crowd.
At this moment, those who knew Xiao Wenbo were even more shocked, staring at him in disbelief.
"This person is Xiao Wenbo?"
"Why didn't he attend the engagement banquet with the Xiao family? Instead, he rushed up alone and tried to grab his own daughter?"
"What major secret lies hidden behind this that we are unaware of?"
Xiao Wenbo has served as the head of the Xiao family for many years, and countless people know him or have heard his voice. At this moment, everyone looked surprised and full of doubt.
