Free Web NovelChapter 621: She Might Die
"You are preventing us from watching the movie by walking around."
"The movie still has a few minutes to go, plus a post-credits scene at the end. You guys came in too early."
"Can you go out first and come in after we finish watching?"
"I want to make a complaint. You guys have negatively affected our viewing experience!"
...
There were more and more dissatisfied voices.
"What is this?"
"What are you doing!"
"This smells so pungent!"
"Oh no. It seems to be gasoline!"
...
Wendy also noticed the pungent smell of gasoline.
For an instant, everyone’s eyes turned to the few people wearing staff uniforms who had just walked in.
However, the next second, the widespread blaze instantly illuminated the entire movie theater.
"Ah, fire, what a huge fire..."
"What the hell is this! What the hell is this movie theater doing?"
"What are you guys doing! This is terrible! Report, I am going to report this movie theater!"
...
For a moment, screams and panic filled the movie theater.
Everyone stood up and ran towards the exit in a hurry.
However, the fire had burned throughout the movie theatre, with the gasoline giving it some additional help. There were few places for people to get a foothold.
All of a sudden, the movie theater became a mess.
Wendy was in a panic for a moment when she saw the fire, but soon she calmed down.
Wasn’t this the best chance to escape?
Thinking about this, Wendy stood up immediately, planning to squeeze into the panicked crowd.
Unfortunately, as soon as she stood up, Christian grabbed her hand and said coldly, "Don’t worry, follow me. We will find a way out."
After these words, Christian took off his outfit and put it on Wendy.
Then he stretched out his hand to embrace Wendy’s shoulders and protect her with his body, trying to take her out of the crowd.
Nevertheless, the crowd was so messy that they could not squeeze through for the time being.
And Christian’s bodyguards were all outside the movie theatre.
Even though they knew there was a severe fire inside, they could not squeeze in through the crowd either.
Wendy deliberately pushed Christian hard and ran into the crowd when Christian was inattentive.
It may be her best chance to escape.
Unfortunately, the hustle and bustle somewhat blocked the way out. Even if Wendy pushed Christian away, he grabbed her hand again before she could go far.
Christian knew that the fire was not a simple case and exclaimed, "Stay by my side!"
A few staff members were unlikely to run into a movie theater for no reason and pour gasoline to amplify the fire.
Most of the audience watching the movie here were ordinary people.
In other words, the fire should be meant for him.
Christian had been in this business for many years and had made many enemies.
His enemies were likely to look for a chance to kill him.
After all, it was not an easy task to bring gasoline to a public place, such as a movie theater.
Either these people had a strong background and bought out the staff in charge of the movie theatre to bring in the gasoline, or these people had controlled everyone else in the movie theatre.
No matter which possibility it may be, it was enough to prove that the attacker was somebody of note.
Christian should be the most likely person in this movie theater who could attract this kind of enemy.
Although it was Christian’s enemy, Wendy was likely to become their target as well while staying by Christian’s side.
However, if Wendy ran away from Christian in the chaos, she might get pushed and fall over, only to get killed by an enemy in the dark.
After all, she was pregnant now and could not protect herself.
As for staying beside Christian, he would at least try his best to protect her

Wendy did not want to stay with Christian at all.
She wished to escape from Christian immediately.
Therefore, while Christian held her hand tightly, Wendy pushed him away again.
"Wendy!" Christian roared, "I know you want to leave me, but you’d better be aware of the current situation. Now is not the time for you to escape!"
Wendy’s wrist had already gotten skin indentations after being seized and dragged around by Christian.
He strengthened his grip and did not plan on letting Wendy go at all.
As for what Christian said, Wendy could not hear it due to the noisy environment.
However, his words did not matter at all.
While Wendy was still struggling to get rid of Christian, a man in a staff uniform came up in front of them.
The next second, a black pistol appeared in the man’s hand.
In an instant, gunshots rang out in the movie theater.
The site was even more chaotic.
Christian dragged Wendy into the crowd, covering her with his body.
However, Wendy was very uncooperative and intensified her struggles.
Christian had to face the enemy while controlling the struggling Wendy, which made him quite exhausted.
At this time, Wendy fiercely stomped on Christian’s foot.
The sharp heel of her high-heeled shoes made a deep dent in Christian’s leather shoes.
Whilst in pain, Christian subconsciously bent down and let go of Wendy.
Taking the opportunity, Wendy pushed him away immediately and broke into the chaotic crowd.
Christian immediately wanted to catch up with her, but a bullet flew right in front of Christian.
The bullet stopped Christian’s plans instantly.
When he looked at the crowd again, he could no longer see Wendy’s figure.
Christian looked around for Wendy anxiously.
Wendy was wearing a red dress today.
The color was quite conspicuous.
However, Christian found that several people were wearing red dresses.
Although the styles and sizes were different, at this time, it was not easy to tell which red dress belonged to Wendy among the chaotic crowd.
In addition, the extensive fire and smoke in the movie theater made it hard for him to open his eyes, much less find someone.
Christian tried his best to calm himself down. He took out his cellphone from his pocket and immediately called a bodyguard.
"Pay attention to those who go out. Once you see Wendy Stewart, stop her," Christian said.
"Hello? Mr. Lucas? What did you say?" The bodyguard asked loudly on the phone, "can you say that again? I cannot hear you very clearly."
Because of the hustle and bustle, it was hard to understand all of Christian’s words through the phone.
Christian repeated himself, but the bodyguard still did not hear clearly.
Christian did not say anything else. He intended to follow the crowd to find a way out first.
During this short period, Wendy had already squeezed to the exit of the movie theatre.
She took off her high heels and stepped barefoot on the ground.
The fire on the ground made it very difficult for Wendy to walk, and the sudden increase in temperature caused blisters on her feet.
However, walking in high heels was inconvenient, and she could not squeeze in the crowd in high heels.
There were not only blisters but there was also gasoline on her feet.
The soles of her feet were so slippery that Wendy almost fell over accidentally.
Fortunately, there were people all around her. Before she fell over, people nearby pushed her and forced her to stand up.
She took off the coat Christian had just given her and quickly wiped the gasoline from her feet.
In the movie theater behind her, there were still screams and wailings wafting in the air.
...
Several people were burned by the fire, shouting in pain and fear.
Someone also fell to the ground and could not get up amidst all the people.
When Wendy forced her way out of the movie theater, the fire burnt the corner of her dress as well.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and put out the fire in an instant.
As soon as she got out of the movie theater, Wendy immediately followed the crowd and ran outside.
At this time, she would not get spotted easily as long as she followed the panicked crowd.
Wendy did not care about the pain in her feet or being uncomfortable amidst the crowd. She quickly disappeared from the movie theater.
When Christian came out, Wendy was completely out of his sight.
"Where is she?" Christian asked in a loud voice immediately when he saw his bodyguard, "have you seen Wendy come out?"
"No...no..." Seeing Christian’s reddish eyes, the bodyguard started to tremble in fear.
Before Christian got angry, the bodyguard immediately explained, "The crowd was such a mess just now, and a few of our bodyguards also got separated. It was impossible to distinguish the people coming out..."
"Impossible to distinguish? I can remove your eyes if you don’t need them!"
Christian shouted sharply.
"I’m sorry, Mr. Lucas. We will look for Ms. Stewart right away," the bodyguard said immediately.
Afterward, the bodyguard said in the walkie-talkie, "Go look for Ms. Stewart at once.
She should not be far away from the movie theater."
Hearing the words of the bodyguard, Christian grabbed the walkie-talkie and said coldly, "Wendy is wearing a red dress. Pay close attention to women in red dresses.
If you cannot find Wendy today, all of you guys will be doomed!"
Regarding the last sentence, Christian was not merely threatening them.
He could walk the talk.
At this time, the bodyguards were all trembling as they listened to Christian’s words on the walkie-talkie and immediately went out to find Wendy.
Christian was not idle either but went looking for Wendy everywhere.
Panicked and helpless, he even shouted out Wendy’s name in the crowd. "Wendy!
Wendy Stewart..."
Naturally, no one responded to him.
Suddenly, Christian thought of something and frowned tightly.
Damn it.
If these people came for him, why didn’t he see them after coming out?
Moreover, his bodyguards were outside and looked completely fine.
Christian immediately reached out and grabbed the bodyguard beside him, asking sternly, "Have our people been attacked?"
"Attacked? No," the bodyguard replied immediately. "Am I supposed to ask if there are any updates?"
"No need!" Christian’s pupils widened in an instant.
It seemed that these people were not here for him.
Nevertheless, if it was not him, who would be their target?
Was there any big shot in the movie theater today? freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Oops!
Christian yelled with all his strength, "Listen up, notify all the people available. Ask them to arrive at the movie theater as soon as possible. Go look for Wendy around the movie theater with all your strength! Arrest the suspicious ones immediately if there are any!"
If these people did not come for Christian, they were likely to be here for Wendy instead.
Wendy should have no enemies in Rheinsville City.
She was merely a designer. Even as a top international designer, she would be involved in business competition at most but not to the point where anyone would want to assassinate her.
In other words, these people might be after Wendy because of Christian.
For now, Christian did not have much time and energy to think about who wanted to kill Wendy.
At present, Christian just wanted to find Wendy.
In case he was too late, she might lose her life.
