Chapter 236 Assassination on the Ship
Haicheng.
Huo Jingchen took Lin Wanwan to the restaurant in the cabin for breakfast, and they found a seat by the window.
At this time, a man dressed as a waiter came over with a tray in his hand and brought the drinks on the tray to the table.
"You two, your drinks are here, please enjoy them."
Lin Wanwan nodded slightly, smiled and said, "Thank you."
The next second, the waiter took out a knife from under the tray and stabbed Huo Jingchen.
Huo Jingchen hadn't noticed yet, and just as his knife was about to fall, his eyes flashed, and he quickly dodged the sudden attack by turning sideways.
Seeing that his attack had missed, the waiter stabbed at Huo Jingchen again, killing him with every move. Lin Wanwan, who was standing nearby, screamed in shock, her face turning pale with fright.
The knife scratched Huo Jingchen's hand. He didn't have time to cry out in pain. He grabbed the waiter's wrist holding the knife and twisted it hard. With a crisp "click" sound, the waiter felt pain and the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
Huo Jingchen protected her behind him, stared at the waiter with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Tell me, who sent you here?" The waiter gritted his teeth, his face full of resentment but said nothing.
At this time, the diners around were also frightened by this scene and screamed in panic, and the restaurant was noisy.
The waiter wanted to pick up the knife on the ground, but Huo Jingchen saw through his thoughts and quickly kicked the knife under the table. Then he kicked the waiter to the ground with a flying kick.
Lin Wanwan reacted and shouted quickly: "Someone come! Someone is killing someone!"
Immediately, the gangster brothers who heard the noise ran towards the restaurant.
Seeing so many people rushing over, the waiter ran away without caring about assassinating Huo Jingchen.
One of the leaders stepped forward and saluted Huo Jingchen, "Master Buddha, are you okay?"
"Don't worry about me, hurry up, catch him! We can't let him get away, we must find out who is behind this." Huo Jingchen shook his head, his eyes turned cold, and he immediately gave the order.
"Yes, Lord Buddha."
After receiving the order, the brothers quickly chased in the direction the waiter fled.
Huo Jingchen looked at their backs, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
He knew very well that this assassination was no accident and there must be a force in the dark planning something.
Lin Wanwan gently pulled the corner of Huo Jingchen's clothes, her voice trembling a little: "Jingchen, your hand is injured."
As she spoke, Lin Wanwan pulled his hand and found that there was a long cut on the back of his hand and blood was flowing out.
"It's okay, just a minor injury." Huo Jingchen reached out, touched her head and smiled slightly.
Lin Wanwan was almost crying, "Your hand is bleeding, how can it be a minor injury?"
Huo Jingchen looked at Lin Wanwan's anxious look helplessly, and coaxed her softly, "It's really okay, honey. I've seen a lot of storms and waves. This injury is nothing. Don't worry."
"No, your wound is still bleeding. Come on, I'll take you to get it bandaged."
"It's really okay, just take care of it later."
Lin Wanwan didn't listen to him and insisted on pulling him to the infirmary in the cabin.
Along the way, she carefully held Huo Jingchen's injured hand, fearing that touching the wound would cause him more pain.
Looking at Lin Wanwan's worried look, Huo Jingchen felt warm in his heart.
When we arrived at the infirmary, the doctor came over to check the injury. While treating the wound, he said, "Fortunately, the wound is not deep and did not hurt your bones or muscles. But you still have to be careful not to get wet in the next few days to avoid infection."
Lin Wanwan watched nervously from the side and nodded continuously, "Thank you, doctor."
After treating the wound, Huo Jingchen stood up and smiled at Lin Wanwan, "Are you okay? It's just a minor injury, just bandage it."
"Stop joking. You don't know how dangerous the situation just now was." Lin Wanwan is still in shock.
"But, speaking of which, who wants to kill you?" Lin Wanwan frowned and said with a worried look on her face, "Last night the assassination attempt failed, and someone tried again today, and last time at the beach. Jing Chen, did you offend someone?"
"Wanwan, if I say that these killers were most likely arranged by Ye Sinian, would you believe it?" Huo Jingchen held her hand, his eyes becoming deep.
After hearing what Huo Jingchen said, Lin Wanwan couldn't help but widen her eyes, her face full of disbelief: "Ye Sinian? Why would he do this? Didn't he say we are friends?"
Huo Jingchen sneered, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "Huh, friends? Where are the friends when it comes to interests? I have had a lot of conflicts with him in the business world recently. His appetite is getting bigger and bigger. He wants to take all the fat meat of my Huo Group. Naturally, I won't let him do so. I guess he has this murderous intention."
Lin Wanwan frowned, her heart full of worry: "What should we do now? Since he has sent people to kill you three times, he will definitely not give up easily."
Huo Jingchen patted her hand gently and comforted her, "Don't be afraid. Since he dares to attack, I dare to take it. If they want my life, it depends on whether they have the ability to take it."
What Huo Jingchen is most worried about now is Lin Wanwan. When she is by his side, she is at risk of being hunted down at any time.
"Before, Xiaoxuan reminded me to be careful of Ye Sinian. I have never understood why he wanted to kill us. What hatred or grudge did he have?"
Huo Jingchen sneered, "Once we meet him in person, the answer will be clear."
As he was speaking, Huo Jingchen's underworld brothers came back.
"Master Buddha, the man was caught, but he is dead."
Hearing this answer, Huo Jingchen seemed to have expected it. "The waiter just now and the person who assassinated me last night are both well-trained killers. They came to assassinate me with the mentality of dying."
After hearing this, Lin Wanwan's face turned even paler. She tightly grasped Huo Jingchen's arm, her voice trembling a little: "Jingchen, this is too terrible. They want to kill you without even caring about their own lives. What should we do now?"
Huo Jingchen frowned, a look of determination flashed in his eyes: "Since the person is dead, we can't get any clues from him for the time being. But it doesn't matter, I don't believe they can do it perfectly, there will always be some clues left."
As he spoke, he looked at his brothers and said in a deep voice, "Go check and see if there are any special marks or objects on him. Then check the area around where he appeared to see if there is anything suspicious. Also, investigate his connection with Ye Sinian. Don't miss even the slightest connection."
"Yes, Master Buddha!" The brothers answered in unison and quickly turned around to get back to work.
Huo Jingchen turned to look at Lin Wanwan, and seeing that she was still terrified, he gently hugged her in his arms and comforted her softly, "Wanwan, don't be afraid, I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt you. No matter what tricks Ye Sinian plays, I can deal with it, you just need to stay by my side."
Lin Wanwan leaned in Huo Jingchen's arms and nodded slightly, but she couldn't stop worrying in her heart: "Jingchen, I know you are powerful, but I just can't help being afraid. What if they really succeed one day..."
Huo Jingchen interrupted her and looked at her firmly: "That day will not come. Since I, Huo Jingchen, dare to venture into this business world, I am fully confident that I can protect myself and you. Now let's go back to the room and wait for news from our brothers. There are so many people on this ship, so it's better to be careful."
