CHAPTER 460: CHAPTER 283 PLAYING IN THE PALM OF THE HAND 1

Gu Qingchen also held her tightly, thankfully he had arrived!

In just a short minute, there was panic everywhere.

Yet, Bei Ran was quietly embracing Gu Qingchen, not even uttering a word amidst the darkness.

Because they embraced, there was peace of mind.

After one minute, the power was restored.

A power outage in a hotel was no minor issue; even after the power was back on, chaos persisted.

At this moment, Bei Ran gazed around and saw that right before her were piles of red wine bottles. If she had bumped into them in the dark, she would’ve been covered in wine and cut by the shattered bottles, leaving her face a bloodied mess.

Just how malicious could someone be to ruin a beautiful woman’s face?

Gu Qingchen naturally saw it too. He squinted his eyes—this clearly seemed a premeditated setup!

Wu Kang, microphone in hand, spoke to the crowd: "Ladies and gentlemen, please calm down. The electricity system has been fully restored. There was a small issue with the hotel’s power, but now let’s continue with the wedding ceremony."

Although the guests had experienced a brief period of unrest, they soon calmed down.

Gu Qingchen, seeing Wu Kang already capable of managing the situation, said to Bei Ran beside him: "Actually, you can let go now! You could just plan things from behind the scenes and let Wu Kang take the lead."

Bei Ran chuckled: "Does President Gu intend to sideline me?"

Gu Qingchen looked at her intently: "I just don’t want you to get hurt."

Bei Ran intertwined her fingers with his, "I will take good care of myself."

Wu Kang continued on the stage: "Today, our bride stands out with her elegance. It is rare for college friends to reunite after six years apart and become life partners. We welcome today’s groom, Zhou Zhi..."

But where had Zhou Zhi gone?

Wu Kang called out Zhou Zhi’s name several times with no response, so he sent people to search for him.

Then, a scream came from the makeup room: "Ah, murder..."

Bei Ran and Gu Qingchen exchanged glances and quickly made their way there, only to find Zhou Zhi kneeling on the ground with a scalp-sharp scalpel sticking out of his chest, its handle buried in his torso, and his face showing a frightful death...

Wu Kang immediately called the police, and Zhuo Yufeng swiftly arrived with his team!

Zhuo Yufeng looked at everyone: "Bring all these people back to give statements. Have the coroners been called?"

The forensic investigator Situ Rui and his team started collecting evidence at the scene.

The police station.

Bei Ran and Gu Qingchen had not left yet, while the others had departed after giving their statements.

Tian Xin had come with them. She looked at Bei Ran: "It must be Qin Shan’s doing, that despicable thing, killing others just to make a scene."

"Now the main task is to find him!" Bei Ran sighed, "Xinxin, you go back and rest first. Qingchen and I will leave a bit later."

"Okay!" Tian Xin nodded, "I’ll be going then."

Tian Xin left the police station. She wasn’t driving recently as her mind was somewhat in a haze; she knew that driving in that state would be extremely dangerous.

Tian Xin waited for the traffic light, thinking she saw many others crossing, so she followed.

Suddenly, a "screech".

Piercing brake sounds followed by curses from other drivers: "Are you trying to kill yourself? If you want to die, go jump into the sea, why are you running a red light?"

Tian Xin stood there in a daze, having thought it was a green light; she hadn’t realized it was red. Was she hallucinating?

Seeing her still standing there, dazed, the driver yelled again: "Do you see or not? Are you blind? It’s green light now, why aren’t you moving?"

Passersby felt the driver was too quick to anger. The delicate girl hadn’t said a word and her face was pale. Sympathy naturally tilting towards her.

Then, suddenly, someone rushed out.

Song Xuyao grabbed Tian Xin’s hand and pulled her towards the roadside.

By the time Tian Xin came back to her senses and saw it was Song Xuyao, she slapped him in return, "Madman! You utter lunatic!"

If it hadn’t been for Song Xuyao suddenly arriving on the island, if he hadn’t tied her and Tang Baijin together, how could she possibly have gotten entangled with Tang Baijin?

Ever since Song Xuyao found out she was his sister, he often found himself thinking of Song Chenxi.

Song Chenxi was his sister in name, and Tian Xin was his sister by blood.

Both were irreplaceable in his heart.

Song Xuyao took the slap stoically; Tian Xin hit him hard, leaving a bright red handprint on his face. He looked at her intently, "Watch where you’re going when walking!"
