Chapter 643: Three-Party Forces

ere spoken, the man was taken aback once again. He clearly hadn't expected the other party to come up with such a move. After only five seconds of hesitation, he opened his mouth and said:"Your requir...Duan Zongqing, Lian Yi, and the driver jumped out of the car first!

"Down!"

Ripple shouted.

Duan Zongqing listened to his daughter's command throughout the process and quickly pounced.

With a deafening roar, their car exploded, but luckily the three of them reacted quickly. And this time the explosion was controlled by ripples. Don't look at the big bang and sparks, the power was actually quite small.

"Protect General Duan!"

"Protect Ms. Duan!"

"General Zhang!!"

"Young Marshal"

Both sides gathered at the Baoli Hotel immediately descended into chaos. Anyone with a shred of intelligence could see that someone was trying to take advantage of the situation, seizing both the Duan and Zhang families while all their key figures were present at the weddings.

If both the great generals were to die, those below them would inevitably fall into a power struggle. In this way, the Xia Kingdom would once again be plunged into a period of warlordism and chaos.

At the moment Zhang Fenglin fell, he didn't understand what was happening. He watched in horror as his son's wedding car exploded into the sky. All he could think was "It's over." Then, a sharp pain shot through his brow and as he collapsed, he saw another car explode into the sky as well. If he guessed correctly, it must have been Duan Zongqing's car. After that, he knew nothing more.

"The General was killed!"

When the guards around him rushed over, the bullet had already pierced Zhang Fenglin's brow. By the time the guards wanted to pull up their own general, they saw General Zhang with a hole in his forehead, dead and unseeing!

And the Duan family's personal guard reacted quickly, already protecting the battered father and daughter of the Duan family as they prepared to retreat into the Puli Hotel. There was another deafening boom, and the top floor of the Puli Hotel exploded as well.

Ripples pulled Duan Zongqing back two steps, avoiding the falling stone. Then he turned to his guards and said:

"Lead a team to evacuate everyone inside Baoli Hotel, do everything you can!"

"Yes, miss!"

A guard nearby immediately retreated and beckoned to a distance. A squad of one hundred men hidden in the alley rushed out and quickly charged into the Bali Hotel to rescue people.

"Ripples, is this also your arrangement"

Duan Zongqing frowned. He recalled his daughter never mentioning setting up a bomb here.

"It wasn't me, and I don't think it was Zhang Xuetao either. Someone is stirring up trouble, their goal is to get us killed."

A glimmer flashed in Ripples' eyes, she had provided Zhang Xuetao with convenience to do something, so someone took advantage of Zhang Xuetao to set a death-dealing problem for her in return.

"Hmph! If I find out who it is! I'll wipe them and their whole family out!"

Duan Zongqing had a quick temper and was now holding a small submachine gun, already engaged in battle with the attackers.

Ripples was prepared. She tore off the skirt at her waist and the red wedding dress, revealing the black tactical suit underneath. She took the gun handed to her by her bodyguard and said directly:

Anyone who dares to fire a gun will be killed.

"Yes!"

Ripples also cocked her pistol, retreated down the alleyway, and began fighting with the ambushers lurking in the shadows.

But after a while, she raised an eyebrow and said to Duan Zongqing beside her:

"Father, there are two groups attacking us. One group should be Zhang Xuetao's people who were deployed in advance, and the other group must be those assassins who infiltrated Zhang's team."

"Whoever it is! Just kill them all!"

"Father, the people who infiltrated Zhang Xuetao's group must be left alive. They are responsible for the death of Zhang's father and son."

With a narrowed gaze, Lian Yi said.

"That's good too, it saves the trouble of directly confronting Zhang's forces."

Duan Zongqing, reminded by his daughter, immediately understood.

"Stand guard!"

"Sir, what orders do you have"

"With your squad, sneak to the back and apprehend those people Miss mentioned. Take them alive and make sure they don't have a chance to commit suicide. They are useful."

"Yes!"

Duan Shou is Duan Zongqing's personal bodyguard, and he generally doesn't leave his side, unless it's a very important mission. Now that there is a young lady by the general's side, he dares to leave with peace of mind, because with the young lady's abilities, she can protect the general single-handedly.

"The rest of you, cover the people coming out of the Bo Li Hotel. Make sure they don't get hurt."

Ripples immediately spoke loudly.

"Yes!"

Twenty minutes later, the main force of the Duan family arrived, surrounding an area two kilometers in radius centered on Baoli Hotel. They then surged toward the center of the incident and quickly joined forces with Duan Zongqing and Lian Yi.

"My Lord! I am late, causing you and Miss to be startled!"

A stern-faced general paid his respects to Duan Zongqing.

"Not too late, just in time! I must get those old rats out of their hiding places!"

Duan Zongqing wiped the soot from his face and said.

"Don't worry, sir. We have the whole place surrounded. Not even a fly can get out."

"General Duan! You must stand up for our General Zhang and Young Marshal! They died too unjustly!"

At this moment, Zhang the steward, covered in blood, ran to Duan Zongqing's face and was about to kneel down, but Lian Yi pulled him back with quick eyes and hands.

"Zhang, you don't have to do this. Even if you didn't say anything, we would find the people behind this. They're not just after the Zhang family, but also our Duan family, and even everyone who came to our wedding today."

All the people attending our wedding are influential figures from the political and business worlds, some with real power. This is an attempt to take us all down at once.

Lián'ěr had now put on her red wedding dress again, but no one knew where Zǐyuān was, clutching the dress and rolling around in it for who knows how long. When she put it back on Lián'ěr, one could tell without even looking that she was a mess. Looking at the scorched hem of the skirt, she must have escaped death by a hair's breadth.

At this point, over ten people were escorted by guards to Duan Zongqing and reported:

"Sir, these men were wearing Zhang's army uniform but ambushed us from behind. I have subdued them all. They tried to bite open their poison pouches and commit suicide, but I removed their jaws."

Manager Zhang looked at the person who was brought over and immediately said:

"General Duan, these men are not from our Zhang family army. This time, the people who came south for the wedding were all arranged by me. There is absolutely no one like them here, please be clear about this!"

"Rest assured, I absolutely believe Zhang lao di. They don't look like the Zhang family army from the north at all. There wouldn't be anyone so short in the Zhang family army."

Duan Zongqing let out a cold snort.

"Zhang Guanjia, have a few of your master's personal guards come over to help with the interrogation. Zhang Dashuai cannot die without a clear explanation, and neither can my son-in-law! "

Since this happened on our family's territory, we should at least give the Zhang family who stayed in the north an explanation.

"The great general is a man of integrity!"

Zhang the house manager was also afraid there might be something fishy going on, so he called for his master's personal guards and entered the partially collapsed Baoli Hotel nearby. They began to interrogate people on the spot.

And the ripples were escorted back to the Grand Marshal's Mansion by the guards. Now she was a widowed woman who had never been married, a tragic figure. All she needed to do was put on an appearance of utter despair.

"Miss, are you alright"

"How could you be so disheveled"

"Where are you hurt"

The ripples entered the courtyard and were immediately surrounded by four aunts who were eagerly waiting.nt for a check-up. The doctor prescribed me medicine, recommended acupuncture, and told me to stop having sex for a while so that everything could heal.”Besides, I've been drinking Chinese medicine. D...
