Chapter 1069 He is My Personal Bodyguard
At this moment, Qin Tian's immediate suspect behind the attack on Liu Fei'er was naturally Shangguan Zhenxiong.
Who else could it be?
"Shangguan Zhenxiong? Who? I don't know him, he didn't send me to kill Liu Fei'er."
Just as Qin Tian was sure it was Shangguan Zhenxiong who ordered the hit, to his surprise, the assassin denied it directly.
Moreover, from the look on his face, Qin Tian could tell he wasn't lying.
"If it's not Shangguan Zhenxiong, then who is it?"
Qin Tian watched the assassin's every move, trying to see if there was any sign of deceit.
"It was Mr. Jin Qiang. He offered a million to have us kill Liu Fei'er."
"Jin Qiang?"
Qin Tian was taken aback. To his knowledge, he didn't know anyone by that name, especially an enemy.
"Tell me, why would Jin Qiang spend money to kill Liu Fei'er?" Qin Tian asked sharply.
"Because Jin Qiang is Miss Zhang Yunzi's agent. From what I know, Miss Zhang Yunzi hasn't always gotten along well with Miss Liu Fei'er in the entertainment industry, so I guess..."
Before the assassin could finish, Qin Tian motioned for him to stop.
Zhang Yunzi... that name sounds so familiar.
He remembered Zhang Yunzi once made a bet with Liu Fei'er that if Liu Fei'er won Best Actress, Zhang Yunzi would kneel and apologize to her.
Heh, who knew the most venomous of all is a woman's heart? Zhang Yunzi probably saw that Liu Fei'er's fame had surpassed hers and knew she would lose the bet, so to avoid humiliation, she took the initiative to try and kill Liu Fei'er first.
The situation was quite straightforward. At the mention of "Zhang Yunzi," Qin Tian could easily guess the reason.
"I've told you everything. Can I leave now?"
The assassin looked at Qin Tian, recalling how Qin Tian had swiftly killed his accomplices, fear gripped his heart.
After all, he was merely a driver; being an assassin was just a side job for him.
Qin Tian stared at the fear-stricken assassin, saying nothing more, but instinctively asked, "Are you sure you've told me everything?"
"..."
Qin Tian swore this question was asked out of habit, casually.
But with this question, the problem arose; the assassin's face suddenly showed terror as he gulped.
Seeing this, Qin Tian was stunned too.
It seemed like this guy still had something unsaid!
Or maybe he wasn't telling the truth!
"I'm giving you one last chance. If you have something to say, say it all at once. Miss this opportunity, and you might not walk out of this restroom alive today."
Talking about life-and-death matters in a restroom might seem low class, but Qin Tian's words carried weight.
Having seen Qin Tian's murderous expression, the part-time assassin finally broke down and said, "There's one more thing... one more thing I need to say..."
"Besides hiring us two brothers to kill Liu Fei'er, I've heard that Jin Qiang also bribed the staff here to hide a timed bomb near the plaza stage where Liu Fei'er's event is happening."
Buzz!
As soon as the assassin spoke, Qin Tian's mind roared, growing tense!
"Where is the timed bomb installed?"
"I don't know. It's not my responsibility."
"When will it explode?"
"I don't know either, but I heard it's after nine o'clock. I really don't know anything else..."
Qin Tian checked the time; it was already past nine in the evening!
Shit!
Qin Tian immediately panicked and, without wasting words with the assassin, knocked him out with a single palm strike, stuffed his mouth, and dragged him into a toilet stall, leaving him with another assassin who was only unconscious, not dead.
Qin Tian locked the stall door in passing, then in two steps ran towards the event hall!
At this moment, the hall was filled with laughter. Liu Fei'er was interacting with the audience and giving out gifts, and the audience was enthusiastic.
Qin Tian moved through the crowd, scrutinizing the area, but with so many people, he couldn't pinpoint where the timed bomb was.
Now, the time was nine minutes past nine in the evening.
Panicking, Qin Tian found a man in the front row who seemed like a leader of this venue and, explaining the situation, asked him to stop the event and evacuate the crowd.
The portly middle-aged man, after listening to Qin Tian, stared at him for a while, then spat out three words: "You're crazy!"
He spoke with a sneer, "Have you watched too many TV dramas? Timed bombs, really? Did water get into your head? Sit down quickly, or I'll have you thrown out! Hmph, I've seen too many male fans like you trying to create chaos just to get close to female celebrities..."
"..."
Qin Tian was rendered speechless by this guy's remark. Damn, I said there's a timed bomb just to get close to Liu Fei'er? Do I even need to? She's my woman!
The time was pressing, Qin Tian couldn't waste any more time with this disrespectful guy.
Watching the seconds tick away, Qin Tian grew more and more frantic. So, for Liu Fei'er's safety, he decided to rush directly onto the stage!
The staff couldn't stop Qin Tian as he rushed onto the stage, snatching the microphone from the stunned female host, and shouted, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have reliable information that there is a timed bomb in this venue, set to explode in a few minutes. Please leave immediately! Please leave immediately!"
Qin Tian spoke with urgency, coupled with the warning of an imminent explosion. Instantly, the audience in the hall panicked and ran out.
The mall's middle-aged general manager was furious, instructing the staff and security to rush the stage and remove Qin Tian.
At this moment, however, a smiling Liu Fei'er walked over and stopped the security, saying, "Manager, I trust this gentleman's words; let's check the venue, shall we?"
If not for Qin Tian earlier telling Liu Fei'er they should pretend not to know each other in unfamiliar environments, at that moment of happiness at seeing Qin Tian, Liu Fei'er would definitely have rushed up to cling to his arm without any reservations.
"Miss Liu Fei'er, this man is your fan. He's probably mentally disturbed, claiming there's a bomb just for the chance to get close to you!" The manager shook his head, exasperated.
Hearing this, Liu Fei'er chuckled lightly and glanced at Qin Tian.
After a brief hesitation, she said, "Manager, this gentleman is named Qin Tian, my private bodyguard, not some crazy male fan. Would you kindly do as he says?"
"Private bodyguard!?"
The manager was dumbfounded upon hearing Liu Fei'er's words.
However, given how hard their company had worked to secure this cooperation with Liu Fei'er, he thought for a moment, looked at Qin Tian, and sighed, "Alright, let's check. Heh, I still don't believe there's a timed bomb here!"
[The mastermind is Zhang Yunzi. Did you guess it right? There will be another chapter in five minutes]
