Chapter 475: The One That Got Away!
The garden was filled with guests, with crowds in almost every corner.
In such a situation, even knowing the assassin’s physical characteristics, finding them among the crowd would be quite difficult.
But Chen Xiangwen just swept his gaze around once, seemingly confident, and walked into the garden.
Fang Yu had originally planned to find some food in the inner hall, but after seeing Chen Xiangwen, he abandoned this idea and instead walked toward the entrance to the garden to observe Chen Xiangwen’s movements.
Chen Xiangwen plunged into the bustling crowd, heading first to the left.
There was a group of people conversing there.
Chen Xiangwen walked behind this group and tapped one of the men on the shoulder.
The man turned around, saw Chen Xiangwen, and a flash of something unusual crossed his eyes, but he quickly displayed a puzzled expression and asked, “Can I help you with something?”
Chen Xiangwen said a few words, but the man obviously couldn’t hear clearly.
“It’s a bit noisy here, let’s talk over there,” Chen Xiangwen said to the man, gesturing for him to move to a small open space behind them.
The man frowned slightly, seeming to sense danger.
At that moment, Chen Xiangwen’s right hand suddenly rose, pressed against the man’s left chest, and quickly withdrew.
This series of movements was extremely fast, too quick to see clearly.
But strangely, the man had no wound on his left chest and remained standing in place.
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.
He knew clearly that this man was already dead.
As for how Chen Xiangwen had accomplished this, it wasn’t hard to guess—he likely had a silver needle or similar sharp weapon concealed in his right hand, sufficient to kill instantly without causing much disturbance.
After dealing with this man, Chen Xiangwen turned and left.
The man remained standing in place like a puppet, facing away from the crowd, completely motionless.
In the next three minutes, Chen Xiangwen struck four more times in the same manner, killing the remaining four people without causing the slightest disturbance.
The garden was filled with the sound of voices, and guests from all directions continued their happy conversations.
No one could imagine that among their lively gathering stood five cold corpses!
After dealing with the five assassins, Chen Xiangwen returned to the inner hall with a calm expression.
Upon entering the hall, he saw Fang Yu again.
Their eyes met once more.
Chen Xiangwen was in a good mood and smiled slightly at Fang Yu.
Just as Fang Yu was about to say something, Chen Xiangwen suddenly reached for his pocket and took out his phone.
“All the bugs have been cleaned up. I’m heading back now. Don’t worry, I’ll be back in thirty seconds!” Chen Xiangwen said as he broke into a jog, quickly leaving the hall.
Fang Yu watched Chen Xiangwen’s departing figure thoughtfully.
Actually, he had wanted to remind Chen Xiangwen that there was still one assassin who hadn’t been dealt with.
But Chen Xiangwen left too quickly, so he had to let it go.
Fang Yu turned around and slowly walked into the garden.
In a corner of the garden stood a man.
This man was smiling, chatting with others.
And he was the man from whom Fang Yu had detected the aura of the Wu Shen Cult.
While Chen Xiangwen had eliminated the other five obvious assassins, he had missed this deeply hidden man.
…
“Miss Tang, where are you from? I haven’t seen you before,” Zhao Xuan was still chatting with Tang Xiaorou by the fountain.
“I’m from Jiangnan,” Tang Xiaorou replied.
The more she talked with Zhao Xuan, the more bored she felt.
She wasn’t a very talkative person to begin with, and she didn’t want to deal with people she wasn’t familiar with.
“Where on earth did Fang Yu go!?” Tang Xiaorou was feeling very impatient.
As a playboy who had seen countless women, Zhao Xuan could clearly sense that Tang Xiaorou wasn’t interested in their current topic.
But at times like this, he didn’t panic.
He just needed to change the subject.
“Miss Tang, have you heard about…” As Zhao Xuan was speaking, he caught sight of Fang Yu approaching from behind Tang Xiaorou.
“Young Master Fang!?” Zhao Xuan’s expression immediately became respectful.
Hearing this title, Zhao Zinan, who had been looking down, suddenly raised her head. Seeing Fang Yu approaching, her obsidian-like eyes lit up.
Fang Yu nodded at Zhao Xuan.
“You’re finally back! Where did you go?” Tang Xiaorou asked displeased.
“I went to the inner hall to find food, but couldn’t find any,” Fang Yu replied.
“They already said there would be food when the banquet starts. Why are you in such a hurry…” Tang Xiaorou grumbled.
Seeing the way the two conversed, Zhao Xuan’s heart skipped a beat.
Could this Miss Tang be Young Master Fang’s woman!?
Then his previous actions would have been trying to steal Fang Yu’s girlfriend!
Oh no!
Zhao Xuan’s face turned pale, and he hurriedly said, “Young Master Fang, I was just chatting with Miss Tang for a moment before you appeared. We really have a connection, haha…”
Fang Yu didn’t say anything, but he noticed Zhao Zinan’s gaze and looked over at her.
Zhao Zinan trembled, hastily averting her eyes to look at the ground, her ears turning red.
“Zinan, this is Young Master Fang Yu. You’ve met him once before, and he helped you… Quickly say hello!” Zhao Xuan said.
“Hello, Mr. Fang,” Zhao Zinan still didn’t dare to look up, giving Fang Yu a slight bow as she spoke.
Fang Yu nodded but didn’t say anything.
Seeing Zhao Xuan’s respectful attitude toward Fang Yu and Zhao Zinan’s shyness, Tang Xiaorou looked suspicious.
But before she could ask anything, a voice sounded from the stage set up at the front of the garden.
“Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, good evening. Thank you all for coming here tonight to attend the wedding banquet of Mr. Chen Xiangwen and Miss Yu Ruobing…”
A master of ceremonies in a suit stood on the stage, holding a microphone, announcing various details.
The garden immediately quieted down, with all the guests looking toward the stage.
The MC spoke at length about wedding blessings and such, before finally announcing loudly, “Next, let’s welcome tonight’s protagonists, the newlyweds… Please give them a round of applause…”
Thunderous applause immediately erupted throughout the garden.
The wedding march began to play, filling the entire garden.
A beautiful woman in a red qipao with a graceful figure walked out from the inner hall arm in arm with a weathered-looking man. They slowly made their way along the red carpet laid out in the garden toward the stage.
The beautiful woman was the CEO of the Yu Group, Yu Ruobing.
And the man was Chen Xiangwen.
The two walked arm in arm, smiling and nodding to the guests on both sides.
The guests applauded together, watching the couple ascend the stage.
Although this marriage had some controversy, since they had come, they naturally wouldn’t pour cold water on the occasion.
Yu Ruobing was the current CEO of the Yu Group, and with her abilities, she would likely remain the future leader of the company.
So, maintaining a good relationship with Yu Ruobing couldn’t be wrong.
Of course, after seeing the appearance and demeanor of the rumored bodyguard Chen Xiangwen, many male guests couldn’t help but feel jealous.
How could this ordinary-looking, scruffy man deserve the renowned Yu Ruobing of Xiangcheng’s business world?
If this man had an extraordinary family background, that would be one thing, but he didn’t even have any family—what kind of assets could he possibly have?
It was truly a case of a toad eating a swan!
Many male guests looked at Chen Xiangwen with fake smiles on their faces, inwardly jealous to the point of bleeding.
“Nervous?” Chen Xiangwen asked softly.
“Not at all. I’ve attended so many such occasions, how could I be nervous? It’s you I’m worried about—don’t embarrass me when you speak! Otherwise, I won’t let you off!” Yu Ruobing snorted coldly.
“I’ll just say one sentence and then step back. Don’t worry,” Chen Xiangwen said with a grin.
Under everyone’s gaze, the couple walked onto the stage.
Most people in the garden had their attention focused on the newlyweds.
But Fang Yu was staring at the man in the corner opposite him.
At this moment, that man, like the other guests, was just looking up at the stage, taking no action.
Could the target not be Yu Ruobing and Chen Xiangwen?
Fang Yu frowned, puzzled.
“Next, let’s invite our groom, Mr. Chen Xiangwen, to say a few words,” the MC said, handing the microphone to Chen Xiangwen.
Yu Ruobing turned to look at Chen Xiangwen.
“Uh, thank you all for coming to our wedding banquet. Thank you,” Chen Xiangwen said, then handed the microphone back to the MC.
The MC was momentarily stunned but quickly recovered, saying, “It seems our groom is a bit nervous. That’s alright. Next, let’s have the bride, Miss Yu Ruobing, say a few words.”
Yu Ruobing took the microphone and stepped forward.
As Yu Ruobing stepped forward, the man in the corner also began to move.
