Pyramid Hanging Upside Down Chapter 27

Chapter 27

It wasn’t until the engagement banquet ended that the guests had unexpectedly ended that they believed that this sudden and dramatic engagement was actually true…

When the guests were leaving one after another, Grantham stopped Ji Xingyuan again and said to Mu He’an who was beside him: “Come see a guest off and thank him for coming to your engagement banquet.”

Mu Hean suddenly raised his head and looked at Grantham. He was both angry and as if he couldn’t believe that Grantham actually insulted him to such an extent. He nodded and said firmly: “Okay, okay, if this satisfies you.”

Mu He’an tried her best to hold back her tears, walked up to Ji Xingyuan, forced a smile, and said, “Thank you, Mr. Ji, for coming to Grantham and I’s wedding. Have a nice trip.”

Ji Xingyuan just nodded coldly, turned and left without hesitation.

When Qi Feiluan followed him and turned to leave, he also noticed some problems.

Mu He’an was very surprised. He was still smiling and lazy when he came to deliver the invitations in person, but now his emotions were so intense. Grantham and Ji Xingyuan were also secretly playing tricks…

But… these have nothing to do with him.

After all the guests left, Grantham and Mu He’an were the only two people left in the building in the center of the lake.

Grantham walked towards a glass wall of the venue, stood there and looked into the distance. After confirming his position, he pulled out a chair next to him and said to Mu Hean behind him: “Come on, please sit down.”

Mu Hean tried his best to suppress the surging emotions, tried his best to restore himself to calm, and said coldly: “What else do you want to do?”

Mu He’an didn’t come to sit down, so Grantham sat down by himself. He turned his back to Mu He’an and said, “Today is our engagement party. In addition to the ring, I also prepared a gift for you. I asked you to come here just to let you appreciate it.”

“Gift? Appreciation?” Mu Hean walked over and stood next to Grantham. He looked out through the glass exterior wall of the building and saw only the car lights of the guests gradually disappearing into the endless night. Other than that, there was nothing.

Grantham looked at the night scene in front of him and said slowly: “Guess why I insisted on you personally inviting Ji Xingyuan and Qi Feiluan to this engagement banquet? Guess why I had to choose the location of the engagement banquet in the center of the lake in the suburbs? Guess why I just asked you to see off the guests in person and express my gratitude to them?”

Mu Hean’s heart really sank this time. He anxiously walked to the glass wall and stared at the fading car lights.

There was silence in the venue, and the night outside was also silent. Mu Hean couldn’t help but breathe softly…

…

On the highway, Ji Xingyuan and Qi Feiluan sat in a car and drove toward the city center.

Gradually, Qi Feiluan noticed a strange aura.

He leaned close to the window and looked out, and at the same time looked at the rear of the car through the rearview mirror.

Although he came to attend an engagement party tonight, the security guard Qi Feiluan still made meticulous arrangements. Ji Xingyuan and the car he was riding in were located in the center of the convoy, with two vehicles responsible for protection in front and behind the vehicle.

Qi Feiluan sent a message to the vehicles in front and behind, asking them to pay attention to whether there was anything unusual around them.

The vehicles in front and behind quickly sent back messages saying that no abnormalities were found.

But Qi Feiluan was uneasy. He looked back at the front windshield of the vehicle and suddenly realized something was wrong.

Their motorcade was too far away from the motorcade of the previous guests, and the vehicles of the previous guests could hardly be seen on this road.

Not only can’t you see it from the front, but you can’t even see it from the back.

This road is the main road back to the city. It is impossible not to see a car returning to the city at the same time.

Unless their convoy was deliberately arranged to create a considerable distance between them and the front and rear.

The purpose of this distance is obvious.

Qi Feiluan and Ji Xingyuan looked at each other and realized that Ji Xingyuan was obviously aware of the possible danger.

No need for extra words, Qi Feiluan turned over and entered the front cab, switched from automatic driving to manual driving, and at the same time sent a message to the team in the front: [Accelerate]

Ji Xingyuan, who was in the back row, pulled out his weapon from under his seat and looked warily at the green belts on both sides of the road.

Of the two cars in the front row that received the message, the one in the front row did indeed follow the instructions and accelerate instantly. The vehicle that was originally traveling normally almost ejected off the road.But the second car in the front was indifferent and even slammed on the brakes.

Ji Xingyuan, who was in the back row, saw a flash of fire in the distance and immediately shouted: “Attack from the left!”

Obviously, what Qi Feiluan and Ji Xingyuan expected was correct. Someone really arranged an assassination on their way back to the city.

When Qi Feiluan abnormally asked the vehicle in the front to speed up, the ambushers understood that they were exposed and took action immediately.

Qi Feiluan reacted extremely quickly. The moment the vehicle in front braked and Ji Xingyuan’s voice was heard, he turned the steering wheel and rushed straight to the right.

However, a violent explosion overturned the car the next moment, and flames and air waves swept the car sideways towards the green belt on the right front.

The vehicle fell heavily to the ground and rolled several times before finally hitting a tree and coming to a stop.

Fortunately, even the cars Ji Xingyuan usually rides in are specially customized bulletproof and explosion-proof vehicles. Qi Feiluan’s dodge was quite timely, and the vehicle was not hit in the front by the explosion, but was only overturned by the explosion.

Although Qi Feiluan was in severe pain from the rolling and impact, years of training prevented him from fainting and remained conscious.

But the vehicle stopped and fell to the ground on its back, with the roof of the vehicle stuck to the trunk of the tree that blocked the vehicle.

The driver’s seat was too severely deformed in the rollover collision. Qi Feiluan was stuck in the driver’s seat, and the door could not be opened. Although the front and side windshields cracked into spider webs, the characteristics of explosion-proof glass made them still firmly connected to the vehicle frame. He could not open it simply by relying on his position, which was unable to exert full force.

Fortunately, the deformation of the rear compartment was not serious. Ji Xingyuan opened the rear door with great force, rolled out of the driver’s seat with the cover of the night and the car body, and saw Qi Feiluan through the side glass that had cracked into a spider web.

A series of gunshots and bombardments erupted on the road behind the vehicle. It should be that the vehicle responsible for security in the back exchanged fire with the ambushers.

The moment Qi Feiluan saw Ji Xingyuan, he shouted to him: “Let’s go! Find cover in the woods!”

Since it was an ambush, if someone was ambushing him on the left, there would also be someone on the right. The target of this car was too obvious. He couldn’t get out of the vehicle immediately and lost his best chance of survival.

Ji Xingyuan would be in danger of being bombarded if he stayed here for even a second longer.

Ji Xingyuan also understood that the moment he confirmed Qi Feiluan’s condition, he had already considered all the possible ambushes and risks he would take.

There is still a chance, so hurry up!

Qi Feiluan watched in surprise as Ji Xingyuan’s left hand burst his glove and suddenly turned into a silver “cutting knife”. This “cutting knife” easily cut open the entire car window glass that was broken into a spider web.

Then the “cutting knife” transformed into a mechanical hand again, and together with Ji Xingyuan’s right hand, they clasped Qi Feiluan’s shoulders and pulled him out.

“No!” Qi Feiluan, who was half out of the cab, gritted his teeth and reached out to press Ji Xingyuan’s hand, “No, my legs…”

Ji Xingyuan made a move, and he saw that the leg bone of Qi Feiluan’s left leg at the knee had broken through the skin and was exposed in a white light.

From his angle, he couldn’t see Qi Feiluan’s calf below the knee, and he didn’t know what shape the calf was squeezed into, but it was indeed stuck in the car.

When Ji Xingyuan dragged Qi Feiluan with all his strength, he could clearly see that the bones in his knees were being pulled.

Qi Feiluan immediately asked Ji Xingyuan to leave quickly because he felt severe pain in his legs after removing concussion injuries caused by the explosion.

What’s worse is that at this moment, a heavy rain of gunshots hits, bullets are swept towards the car body, and it is obvious that the person ambushing on the right has come over.

Stray bullets and ricocheting bullets passed by Ji Xingyuan and Qi Feiluan. The two of them were protected by the car body and trees, so they would not be directly hit in the dark night.But if there is strafing, grenades or other bombs will fall, and those who are ambushing are almost there.

Ji Xingyuan may or may not have thought about anything at that moment. His extreme calmness and rationality made him completely enter a mechanized state. He immediately made the only possible decision to save Qi Feiluan and took action.

Ji Xingyuan leaned over Qi Feiluan. The prosthetic leg installed on his left arm deformed and reached the broken part of Qi Feiluan’s left leg. He said to Qi Feiluan in a commanding tone: “Hold it.”

The next moment, the deformed prosthetic limb was like a pair of scissors, severely “cutting off” Qi Feiluan’s stuck left calf.The moment the blood spurted out, the scissors deformed and buckled against the section of the severed limb, stopping the violent flow of blood.

After hearing Ji Xingyuan’s order, Qi Feiluan subconsciously followed his order before he could realize what was happening. The moment the severe pain came, he couldn’t help but bite Ji Xingyuan’s shoulder in front of him, turning his scream into a miserable and hoarse whimper.

Ji Xingyuan moved without any pause. After “cutting off” Qi Feiluan’s calf, he quickly dragged him out of the cab. Then he put Qi Feiluan’s hand around his neck, picked up the crook of his remaining right leg with his right hand, hugged him across his chest and ran toward another tree next to the green belt.

Hiding behind a tree in the distance, Ji Xingyuan’s deformed left hand was always locked on the broken part of Qi Feiluan’s left leg. He knew very well that if the bleeding was not stopped in this way, Qi Feiluan would not be able to survive and be sent to the hospital.

Just a few seconds after they hid in a tree trunk in the distance, the car was hit by ammunition again, and the flames from the explosion engulfed the car and the tree trunk.

Ji Xingyuan sandwiched the dying Qi Feiluan between him and the tree trunk to block possible explosions or stray bullets for him.

He had done all he could and all that was left was to pray.

Ji Xingyuan had never been to any temple or church, but he dared to say that the prayer he heard from that ordinary tree trunk that night was more pious than any temple or church in the world.

…

In the glass building in the center of the lake, Mu Hean heard a series of roars and explosions, and even from a short distance away, he saw with his own eyes the light of fire leaping up in the distance.

Mu Hean threw himself against the glass wall in disbelief, and then looked at Grantham sharply.

“Did you arrange to assassinate Ji Xingyuan on his way back?”

Ji Xingyuan was invited to the engagement banquet to confirm his itinerary. Since the engagement banquet was held in the center of the lake, the guests could only leave in batches by boat, which would leave enough space when the guests left.

In the end, Grantham asked Mu He’an to see off the guests in person, just to delay Ji Xingyuan’s departure, so that he left later among all the guests.

This leaves enough time for the guests leaving in front and will not affect them.

Mu He’an has no feelings for Ji Xingyuan, but his subsequent plans require Ji Xingyuan’s help. Without Ji Xingyuan’s help, his plan will not be carried out at all. There is a real possibility that he will be completely controlled by Grantham.

When Mu Hean saw the flames rising in the distance and igniting a corner of the night, he was really frightened, angry and panicked.

“Yes.” Grantham smiled happily, “This is my engagement gift to you and myself. How about this fireworks?”

Mu Hean’s shocked true emotions were in line with common sense and did not arouse Grantham’s suspicion.He only lost his composure for a moment, and soon he covered up his true emotions and started acting.

At the same time, Mu Hean realized more clearly how right he was.

Alphas like Grantham are scum. He allowed himself to invite Ji Xingyuan and personally see off the guests, delaying Ji Xingyuan’s departure. If he really had feelings for Ji Xingyuan or Grantham, has Grantham considered how he would collapse, blame himself and despair when he realized that he had inadvertently caused all this?

Grantham never considered it, and even Mu Hean knew very well that his assassination of Ji Xingyuan was more for his own benefit and had little to do with him.

The lingering love he showed for Ji Xingyuan only added another reason for Grantham to kill Ji Xingyuan, but it was by no means the main reason. However, Grantham said it as if he killed Ji Xingyuan because of him.

When Mu Hean’s performance collapsed, his heart was filled with indifference.

Sure enough, these Alphas just don’t deserve anyone’s affection.
