The people standing guard at the entrance to the Japanese Concession are Japanese, not Chinese. Even people living in the Japanese Concession must be inspected when they come in, let alone others.
Especially today, it is not easy for outsiders to sneak into the Japanese concession.
Bang bang bang, several crisp gunshots suddenly sounded outside the hotel, and many people could be heard running outside. The sound of metal guns being pulled, completely shattered the peaceful atmosphere of the banquet.
"The fight started. Someone shot outside." Sheng Di said in a panic.
Although he is the apparent person in charge of the Sheng family's industry, he is our young master after all. He rarely experiences such scenes, and his legs felt a little weak when he heard the gunshot.
Yan Xiaohui also turned pale. Ever since she experienced the life and death siege in the hospital, she had a shadow in her heart and did not dare to stay alone in an empty room.
"It's okay. We are safe here. Assassins can't get in. Besides, the assassins' target is not us." Lu Ming comforted him, pricking up his ears to listen to what was going on outside.
Before he finished speaking, he heard a bang outside, even the floor beneath his feet was shaking, and the room was shaken.
"What's wrong? Is there an earthquake?" Sheng Di panicked. He almost fell, but luckily he leaned against the wall in time.
Yan Xiaohui suddenly fell into Lu Ming's arms. She didn't do it on purpose this time, but she really fell. Lu Ming had to hug her.
"It's not an earthquake, it's the shock wave of the bomb." Lu Ming shouted loudly.
He suddenly understood what was going on and cursed in his heart: These killers have no credibility at all and will do anything to achieve their goals.
He had warned An Gonggen at the beginning not to build a bomb, but he didn't expect that they still sent someone to bring the bomb in. How did they bring it in? It was probably the coffee tube he gave him.
This time things got serious, and for a moment, he was a little panicked.
He didn't know how powerful the bomb made by An Gonggen was. If he filled two coffee tubes with explosives and pressed the detonator, he could definitely blow up the entire Yamato Hotel into the sky.
He heard an explosion, indicating that only one bomb had been detonated. If there was another bomb or even multiple bombs, it would be very dangerous for them to stay here.
"We have to rush out, we have to get out of here, right now!" Lu Ming shouted.
"But it's very dangerous outside. Didn't we just shoot?" Yan Xiaohui turned pale with fright, hugged Lu Ming tightly and said with a trembling voice.
"It's more dangerous to stay here. If there are two more bombs, it is very likely that the entire hotel will collapse." Lu Ming has studied explosions and knows the power of bombs.
The house they were hiding in was very close to the banquet hall, and they were definitely within the range of the explosion. If they wanted to escape, they had to rush out and stay away from the hotel.
"Ah, then just rush out, it's better than dying here." Sheng Di's face turned gray.
Lu Ming opened the door, and a strong smell of gunpowder smoke immediately rushed in. He didn't dare to hesitate, grabbed Yan Xiaohui's hand and ran out. Needless to say, Sheng Di followed him out on his slightly trembling legs.
Running hard.
They rushed downstairs and out the door in one breath. The whole process only took a minute. If there was no smoke blocking the way, it could be faster. Fortunately, there was no further explosion during this period.
At this time, the hotel was in chaos upstairs and downstairs. The explosion did not cause a fire, but it killed many people and injured more than a dozen people. Broken limbs were scattered everywhere, and the blood stained the ruined banquet hall.
Blood red.
Fortunately, the smoke was so thick that it blocked their view, and in their panic, Yan Xiaohui and Sheng Di did not see the tragic scene of the explosion at all.
The signboard of the Yamato Hotel had fallen to the ground, and the Japanese bodyguards who were guarding the outside did not dare to rush in to check the situation.
There are two worlds inside and outside the hotel. There are many people standing on the street outside. Most of them escaped from the hotel in time.
"How can this be an assassin? It's clearly a terrorist job." Sheng Di breathed in the fresh air outside, felt safer and recovered a lot, and cursed indignantly.
Lu Ming nodded. This was indeed not an assassin's behavior, but a standard terrorist attack.
Assassins have a clear goal, just to assassinate someone, and their actions are limited to the smallest possible range, and they will not go into a big fight to harm innocent people.
Lu Ming felt puzzled. The main target, Honjo Shigeru, had not arrived yet and the banquet had not officially started. The bomb must have been activated too early.
However, if the bomb is detonated after the banquet begins, more people will be killed, including them, and they may all be killed on the spot.
An Gonggen's people must have been accidentally exposed and the plan failed, so they had to detonate the bomb in advance.
Now he is worried that there may be other bombs planted somewhere? The crisis at the scene has not been completely resolved.
"Xiao Hui, are you okay?" Yan Hongdao was overjoyed to see his daughter come out safely. He hurriedly came over and held his daughter's hand, looked left and right, and never let go.
Yan Hongdao was the organizer of this banquet. A terrorist bomb destroyed the banquet. How to compensate for the damage to the Yamato Hotel was another matter. He had to bear a huge joint liability.
Fortunately, he, Zheng Xiaoxu, and several important guests were talking in a small VIP room at the time. If they had gathered in the large banquet hall, they would all have been killed by now.
As soon as the bomb went off, Yan Hongdao's heart immediately sank into the ice cave. His first thought was the safety of his daughter.
I rushed out of the hotel and saw that my daughter was unharmed. I was so frightened that as long as I was a good person, I would treat it as a loss of money and avoid a disaster.
"Nephew Sheng Xian, Nephew Lu Xian, you are all fine too. Bodhisattva bless you. Bodhisattva bless you." Yan Hongdao couldn't help but trembled his lips when he saw that Lu Ming and Sheng Di were safe and sound.
In addition to his daughter's safety, what he fears most is that a celebrity such as Zheng Xiaoxu, or someone with close connections such as Sheng Di or Lu Ming, will be killed in an explosion. The consequences would be unimaginable.
The crowd gathered outside the hotel was surrounded by Japanese guards. They formed a circle around the crowd. Each of them held a Sanba Gaigai with a bright bayonet and looked around.
"These people are the Kwantung Army, not bodyguards. They should have followed Benzhuang Shigen. Before they could enter the hotel, an explosion happened." Lu Ming secretly guessed in his heart.
Bodyguards and warriors are two professions. Bodyguards can skillfully use various weapons, but they do not have the aura of a warrior. A standard warrior may not be a good bodyguard, but a qualified bodyguard may not be a good warrior. This
They are two industries.
Where did that old ghost Benzhuang Fan hide? It's a pity that he was not killed. Lu Ming muttered in his heart, his eyes wandering around.
Not to mention Honjo Shige, there is no one from the Japanese Consulate at this moment. He must have been moved to another place for protection.
"Is Mr. Zhuangfan okay?" Lu Ming asked Yan Hongdao pretending to be concerned.
