Chapter 413: Just watch him build a high platform, feast guests, and then the building collapses

Gu Tingchen rushed to the banquet hall half an hour later.

It was his father-in-law's fiftieth birthday; as a son-in-law, he had to support his father-in-law.

The Liu family of five, because they already knew the Ye family and had a friendship of more than ten years, plus their in-law relationship with the Gu family, all came.

Liu Xiongying held his son, protected his wife, and followed behind his parents, calling whoever his parents told him to call, trying his best not to lose face for the family.

But where there are people, there is comparison, and where there is comparison, there is ridicule.

It was very obvious that Liu Xiongying had an IQ problem.

Many people didn't say anything on the surface, but they were all discussing behind their backs why the Liu family would bring a fool son out to such an occasion.

Father Liu had already retired and was no longer the director of the Railway Bureau, so quite a few people were secretly giving him the cold shoulder, wanting to teach him a lesson.

As the saying goes, if you walk by the river often, how can you not get your shoes wet?

Fortunately, Father Liu had already greeted his family before coming, telling them to hold back and endure no matter how many unpleasant things they heard at the banquet.

Just watch him build a high platform, feast guests, and then the building collapses.

Flowers don't bloom for a hundred days; everything is just floating clouds.

Gu Yinyin kept smiling throughout; she had long since seen through it.

Although her husband was intellectually deficient, he was a very good person, caring for her and the children, so she was willing to give birth to his children and accompany him as they grew old together!

No matter what others said, it was just envy and jealousy!

She wouldn't listen to them!

"Xiao Jie, play with Nannan sister."

"No, I want Mommy to carry me."

The little guy was simply a mold of his father, and because he was raised white and chubby, he looked very pleasing.

Although some people were chewing their tongues behind their backs, some people felt inexplicably envious after seeing the interaction between Gu Yinyin and her fool husband.

Men, you know, aren't afraid of being stupid; they are afraid of encountering a scumbag!

Look at Gu Yinyin's happy married life; her husband dotes on her, her parents-in-law dote on her, and her children rely on her.

She was even pregnant with a second child and was going to give birth to another daughter; she was simply a winner in life.

"Alright then, let our Nannan play by herself."

Ye Mei Qin smiled gently and didn't get angry or put on a face just because her little nephew refused to play with her daughter.

The sister-in-law relationship between the two looked quite good to the eyes of others.

The banquet time arrived, and the big birthday star of the night had arrived.

Someone was specifically filming to record this beautiful and warm moment. When the waiter pushed over the big cake, Ye Mei Qin, her mother, her husband, and her children all stood up and applauded, welcoming the joyful moment.

However, just when everyone was smiling, the lights in the banquet hall suddenly went out!

The sudden change caused the guests to let out quite a few gasps; those with children hugged their children tightly, but they couldn't stop the children from crying out of shock.

"Sob, sob, sob."

"Ah, ah, ah."

"What's the situation? Where is the hotel manager? How could there be a power outage!"

Gu Tingchen's tone was unkind; the first thing he did after the power outage was to subconsciously hold his daughter in his arms.

The Liu father and son standing behind him hugged their wives without exception.

Gu Yinyin curled up in her husband's arms, holding her child nervously, feeling inexplicably safe.

Father and Mother Liu, after being nervous, went to grope and hug their son and daughter-in-law.

If there was really danger, it wouldn't be a pity for the two old ones to die.

When danger comes, those who love you will never abandon you.

Ye Mei Qin was hugged by her mother and was stunned for a moment.

At that moment, what she thought was, if there was danger, that person...

*Bang—*

A gunshot rang out; the bullet grazed her cheek, and after the stinging pain, the sound of breaking through the air was deafening.

Ye Mei Qin touched the wetness sliding down her cheek; was it blood?

"Ah!"

At this very moment, the voice of the person who fell to the ground after being shot was so familiar.

"Dad!"

Ye Mei Qin, although she had precautions and vigilance against her father, had never thought about letting her father die!

Afterward, Gu Tingchen also reacted!

The power outage just now wasn't an accident; it was someone who had planned it for a long time. Who wanted to assassinate his father-in-law?

*Click. *

The lights came on!

At the same time, the banquet hall was already in a mess. In the center not far from them, his father-in-law had been shot, and blood was constantly gushing from his chest; the scene was very chilling.

"Dad!"

Ye Mei Qin ran forward quickly, using her hands to cover the hole in her father's chest after he was shot. Blood constantly gushed from the wound, soaking her fingers.

Mother Ye also ran over, throwing herself in front of her husband, crying bitterly—

"Lao Ye, Lao Ye, what's wrong with you? Hold on; we'll call a doctor immediately. Don't leave me."

"I, I, *cough, cough*—"

Father Ye wanted to speak, but the blood in his throat constantly gushed from his mouth, choking his throat.

He felt his body getting cold, his vitality constantly slipping away from his body. With thousands of words, he still opened his eyes very unwillingly and died!

"Dad!"

Ye Mei Qin was immersed in pain, and tears instantly burst from her eyes; her voice was so tragic that those who heard it couldn't help but feel sympathy.

"Meiqin, you and Mom take the children and hide in the lounge first; I'll handle the rest."

"Uncle Liu, please comfort the guests and report to the Public Security Bureau."

Gu Tingchen scanned the surroundings vigilantly and, after giving a simple instruction, got up and chased in one direction.

Fortunately, he had been a soldier, so he had some ways of investigating and arresting.

The top priority was to comfort the guests, report to the Public Security Bureau, and catch the murderer!

"Tingchen, don't be reckless; that person has a gun!"

Father Liu shouted symbolically, fulfilling his duty of reminding him.

Next, he looked at his old friend on the ground who had already lost signs of life, then looked at the messy scene, and frowned.

Who would hate Lao Ye so much on his fiftieth birthday that they would kill him on the spot?

Had Lao Ye offended someone?

Or?

"Niece, please mourn, help your mother to the lounge first, and take the children in too. The children cannot be frightened and cannot see blood. Leave the rest to us to handle."

"Yes, Uncle Liu."

Ye Mei Qin regained her reason, knowing that this arrangement was the best for now.

She also had many questions and wanted to have a good talk with her mother.

Had her father offended someone, or was someone targeting him?

Or did he know some secret, so that group of people behind the scenes wanted to silence him?

No matter which guess it was, once confirmed, she would try every means to avenge her father!

The hotel manager ran over, his head full of sweat. After seeing the corpse on the ground, he was almost scared out of his wits!

Good heavens, he had said that money is hard to earn and shit is hard to eat!

What should he do now? A distinguished guest had been shot and killed in their hotel; could his job still be saved?

No matter what he thought now, he had to cooperate with reporting to the Public Security Bureau!

After the public security comrades came and investigated the case, whether he would stay or go would depend on heaven's will! ===== CHAPTER 414 =====
