Chapter 427
Mina wondered if that Mr. Blake they helped away just now was Adam instead.
“Preston and Adam drinking together?” She wondered.
No, she had just kissed Preston.
He did not smell like alcohol at all.
Mina immediately looked at Preston.
Preston’s face turned pale and he did not move.
“Is he dead?” She thought.
That thought flashed through Mina’s mind.
She was so frightened that her face turned pale.
She quickly reached out to feel Preston’s pulse.
Fortunately, he was still alive.
“Hey, wake up!” Mina shouted as she carefully took Preston’s pulse.
Mina used to study medicine.
Although her medical skills were not all that sharp and she relied on his family’s connections to participate in the medical exchanges, she nonetheless learned it before.
She could feel from the pulse that something was wrong.
She immediately rolled up Preston’s eyelids, and Preston’s pupils didn’t look right.
“He’s poisoned!” Mina said with a grave expression.
She made a prompt decision and quickly took out silver needles and gave Preston acupuncture.
Her master had taught her emergency acupuncture for detoxification purposes.
She quickly did so and took out her phone to call Annalise.
Yet, thinking that her mentor was currently in the middle of a wedding, she did not want to disturb.
her mentor.
She then immediately called Joseph instead.
Joseph also had a good impression of Mina.
She was lively and innocent, had a sweet mouth, and was very good to them.
Upon learning that someone had been poisoned, Joseph immediately left the scene and went to the third floor.
A few waiters carried Preston’s bodyguard away and quickly headed for the bride’s changing room on the first floor.
On the way, they met people, who, upon seeing that they were wearing waiter’s clothes, simply thought that it was someone who was drunk and they waiters were just carrying him away.
No one was suspicious.
In addition, everyone was at the wedding venue.
Now that it was time for the banquet, very few people came to the guest rooms.
When they were about to reach the bride’s changing room, the “waiters” stopped.
There were too many people in the changing room.
This was different from the original plan.
The original plan was for Jared to arrange for someone to send all the people in the bride’s changing room away in advance.
After killing their target, they would throw him into the changing room and leave quickly.
Then, Jared would bring people to the changing room to do what needed to be done next.
Now, there was a row of maids standing at the entrance of the bride’s changing room.
They could not enter.
to Jared, “Target’s with us, but there are too many people in the bride’s changing room.
We can’t go in.” Jared held the backup phone.
When he saw the contents of the message and learned that they had successfully knocked Preston out, he was excited.
It was good that they did.
Even if he could not successfully frame Julian, Preston’s death would still mean that Blake Corporation would fall into his hands.
His lips curled into a cold smile, and his eyes were cold.
He quickly replied, “Kill him and put him in the changing room next door.
Bring Julian in and frame Julian for murder.” The surveillance system was destroyed.
As long as they lured Julian to Preston’s body and Jared had his people testifying that Julian had killed someone, Julian would not be able to clear his name no matter what.
“Why did Julian kill the guy? “Crime of passion, of course.” He thought.
During Annalise’s treatment of Preston, the two of them fell in love.
Preston did not want Annalise to get married.
She went to the changing room to pester Annalise and wanted to take her away, but she was discovered by Julian.
Julian was furious and killed the man.
He deemed that everything would look so reasonable! Jared quickly deleted the message and pretended to be calm as he picked up a prawn and slowly peeled its shell.
Pfft… In the changing room next to the bride’s changing room, one of Jared’s men stabbed Preston’s bodyguard in the chest.
Blood instantly gushed out.
“Stab him again.
Make sure he’s dead for real.
The effect of the medicine will wear out soon.” Pfft… The person who did it immediately stabbed the bodyguard again.
The bodyguard’s blood immediately gushed to the ground and continued to spread.
“Go and lure Julian Parks over,” the sub-chief ordered.
“I’m afraid the guy won’t come.
I have to have a good reason.” “Light a fire.
Tell them there’s a fire here.” “Boss, you’re so smart.
What a good idea!” Clack… There was the sound of a lighter being ignited.
Immediately after, the spare gown in the changing room was ignited.
The underling in the waiter’s clothes was about to rush out to look for Julian.
Suddenly, four men in black rushed over.
The “waiters” were shocked.
The leader immediately stood in front of the corpse and asked with glinting eyes, “Who are you people?” Then, he signaled his underlings to take action.
He had to deal with these people immediately, or else the matter would be exposed.
Although they were wearing waiter’s clothes, they were actually outlaws who had killed many before.
In the data age, it was becoming more and more difficult for them to escape.
This time, he accepted 4.5 million dollars and went to the labor market in advance to apply for a job as a waiter on a cruise ship.
They planned to leave the country after this and live a carefree life overseas.
Now that they were only one step away from success, they could not allow anyone to ruin it.
The waiters rushed over and prepared to attack.
In the end, things turned out differently.
They were all terrified! All of them raised their hands and retreated.
That was because they saw pitch-black barrels of guns pointing at them.
Even if they were boxing practitioners, they couldn’t be faster than bullets.
They could only admit defeat.
A man in black warned coldly, “On the ground, hands on your head!” The six “waiters” under Jared’s orders could only do as they were told.
All of them squatted down obediently and covered their heads with their hands.
They even begged softly, “Please don’t kill us.” A man in black rushed down and struck the back of their necks one by one.
Rushing behind them, he exerted force with both hands and brought two of them down on the ground. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
The other four who did not fall panicked and wanted to resist.
The guns in front of them were then immediately aimed at their heads.
They were terrified again.
If they moved, their heads would explode.
They could only accept their fate and let the other party strike them unconscious.
The six “waiters” were dropped.
A man in black quickly took the ignited gown, threw it on the ground, and extinguished the fire by stomping on it.
At this moment, a man in black saw the bodyguard on the ground.
His chest was bleeding.
“Quick, save the guy!” The man in black ordered.
They quickly carried him away while contacting their boss, James! They had been by James’ side for more than 10 years.
They were all from the special forces.
Their main mission was to take James’ orders and protect him.
The mission James gave them just now was to stop those people there.
They were not to make a big deal out of it, taking those people away and interrogating them in secret.
Everything can be discussed after the wedding.
They didn’t know the relationship between the person involved in the wedding and James.
They only knew that the person who was getting married today was an important person to James.
James immediately called Joseph when he learned that someone had been stabbed in the chest with a dagger and was afraid that the victim would not survive.
Joseph was called over by Mina.
Mina gave Preston acupuncture in the third-floor corridor.
Joseph arrived, took Preston’s pulse, rolled his eyelids up, and pulled out a silver needle from Preston’s body.
He was then able to confirm Preston’s condition.
He said to Mina, “Pull out the needle!” Mina was nervous.
“Grandmaster, did I get it wrong?” She felt that she was really stupid.
Her master had taught her how to perform acupuncture for emergency detoxification several times, but she still got it wrong.
