The chandelier was made entirely of glass. Falling on their heads, it might not have killed them, but injury would have been certain...
How dare they do such a thing. A flash of displeasure crossed Gu Pengzhan's face. Their nerve was too great. He knew this was retaliation for his warnings at the board meeting on Friday.
It seemed some people had grown utterly unscrupulous, daring not only to kidnap Gu Mengyao but now to resort to even such methods...
Uncle Qing, over by the car, had also seen what happened here, and Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had naturally seen it too. The two girls stared blankly in this direction, and only after a long moment did they cry out. It was truly terrifying.
Uncle Qing remained relatively calm and had already hurried over to Gu Pengzhan. "Mr. Gu, are you all right?"
"Call security and find out exactly what happened. Seal off the exits to the underground garage and let no one leave for now." Gu Pengzhan ordered with a dark face.
"No need." Wei Zhao examined the cut where the wires above the chandelier had connected, then stood and said to Gu Pengzhan, "The chandelier's wire was cut with a sharp tool until only a very thin strand remained..."
"Oh?" Gu Pengzhan paused, then looked where Wei Zhao pointed and saw indeed a neat ring of cuts on the chandelier's wire. His expression grew even grimmer. "But how did they time it, so that the chandelier fell just as we passed beneath?"
"Heh... I figure this light was switched off before, and just as we passed by, power was suddenly sent to it. The thinned section of wire could not sustain the chandelier, so it fused in an instant and the chandelier fell..." Wei Zhao said. "Of course this is only my guess. Perhaps they had some other method..."
Gu Pengzhan was no fool and at once understood that Wei Zhao's theory was very likely. If that was the case, there was no point in investigating. Since the enemy could carry this out so tightly, even a search now would turn up nothing. They would surely have destroyed all the evidence already.
"Let us go." Gu Pengzhan drew a deep breath, forced down the fury in his heart, and walked with Uncle Qing toward the car.
"Xiao Yi, sit in the back with Yaoyao and the others. I will take the front passenger seat." Gu Pengzhan instructed Wei Zhao.
"All right." Wei Zhao nodded and turned to open the rear door, but seeing Gu Mengyao on the back seat, he hesitated, went around to Shen Yushu's side instead, opened the door, and got in.
Compared with Gu Mengyao, Wei Zhao got along rather better with Shen Yushu. The Bentley was spacious, and three people in the back did not feel crowded at all.
Just now, Gu Mengyao had thought Wei Zhao was about to sit beside her, and her heart had tightened with nerves. Remembering what Shen Yushu had said to her before, she could not help blushing a little...
