Many people's gazes turned over, and they were more or less surprised.
"Hongyan, calm down. What's going on?" Lin Ruoxi's face, which was still smiling a moment ago, turned frosty.
Zhao Hongyan bit her lip and whispered into Lin Ruoxi's ear, "Lu Yao … Lu Yao … She's dead!"
Lin Ruoxi's expression froze. Slowly, her eyes widened in disbelief!
"How could this be … Dead … Dead?"
Naturally, Yang Cheng heard her clearly as well. He pondered for a moment before putting his arm around Zhao Hongyan's shoulders and asked, "What happened?"
Zhao Hongyan's eyes were brimming with tears as she shook her head. "I … I don't know. When I went in … She was covered in blood …"
Just then, a few women's screams could be heard coming from the back door!
A few waitresses ran into the party and shouted crazily, "Someone's dead! Lu Yao's dead!! Lu Yao's dead!! "
This time, the entire venue was in a mess. After everyone was stunned, they gradually began to panic.
Everyone in the hall turned to look at Lin Ruoxi with inquiring eyes.
When they saw the unnatural expressions on Lin Ruoxi and Zhao Hongyan's faces, they knew it was true! Someone's dead!!
The richer one was, the more worried they were about their own lives because they couldn't afford to die!
That was why many of the rich and powerful investors threw their wine glasses and ran out of the venue. They didn't care what was going on, they just wanted to leave!
As for the media that had been let in, as soon as they saw the commotion, they immediately rushed to the back of the lounge!
The superstar, Lu Yao, was dead! She was just fine a moment ago when she suddenly died! And at Yu Lei International's gala! What kind of earth-shattering news was this?!
All of a sudden, the situation went out of control. Lin Ruoxi clenched her teeth and looked at the chaotic crowd. She didn't know what to do. This wasn't something she was good at. She couldn't help but look at Yang Chen helplessly.
Yang Chen squinted his eyes and said, "Contact the police to maintain order and block the back first. I'll go take a look at the scene. Ruoxi, you'll command the people below to maintain order. I'll handle the rest."
Lin Ruoxi nodded and rushed to the stage with Zhao Hongyan. It would be easier for her to direct the crowd with a microphone.
Hui Lin, on the other hand, was not afraid of a dead person but she knew the situation was dire. "Brother Yang, is there anything I can help with?"
"You're not an ordinary person now. You're a public figure. It's best if you don't get involved. Take your manager and leave. We'll talk when we get home." Yang Cheng said.
Hui Lin was helpless but she believed that Yang Cheng did not need any help. So, she left the scene with her manager and the rest.
Yang Chen walked directly towards the resting room at the back. Because the crowd was too chaotic, no one noticed his extremely fast speed. In just a short while, he had already rushed to the front of the crowd of reporters that were swarming over.
After a turn in the corridor, Yang Cheng arrived at the lounge with the name "Lu Yao" written on it. The door was ajar. Zhao Hongyan must have been too scared to close it.
Yang Cheng sensed the surroundings and after making sure there was nothing out of the ordinary, he pushed the door open and walked in.
After entering, Yang Cheng locked the door from the inside and turned around to take a closer look at the scene.
This was a lounge for VIPs, so the decorations were more elegant and luxurious. Beside the white leather sofa was a clean cashmere carpet. But now, Lu Yao's body was lying on the carpet.
She was still wearing the same fiery red gown, but the area around her body was also burning red!
There was a glaring red wound on her neck, severing her artery. At the same time, Lu Yao's face was contorted and her eyeballs were bulging as if she had died from extreme shock.
Yang Chen looked around. Under the sofa, a fruit knife handle was exposed. It was extremely eye-catching.
At this time, someone knocked on the door of the lounge from the outside.
"Open the door! Open the door! We're reporters! We have the right to see the truth! "
Loud noises could be heard coming from outside. It was obvious that the quick-witted media had found their way here.
Yang Cheng furrowed his brows and a cunning glint flashed across his eyes. He turned around silently and opened the door.
There were at least a dozen reporters outside the door. Their flashes were blindingly bright!
Yang Cheng had expected this. His eyes swept across the cameras and SLR cameras …
"Bang, bang, bang! … "
A series of mechanical explosions rang out, and all the camera equipment exploded into a pile of debris in the hands of the reporters!
Although he did not want to use his cultivation too often in case something went wrong, this was the only way he could do it without leaving any traces.
With that, all the photos he took were now useless.
The reporters looked at each other in shock, as if they had seen a ghost.
Yang Cheng said mysteriously, "Everyone saw how tragic Miss Lu Yao's death was. I suspect there's a ghost in this room. I wanted to take a photo just now but my phone exploded. You're reporters, have you ever seen something like this before? "
These words were as superstitious as one could imagine. Usually, these reporters who had graduated from university would never believe it. But when they saw Lu Yao's tragic death, and the equipment in their hands that had been destroyed, they couldn't help but gulp.
Firstly, it was too strange and horrifying. Secondly, they had lost their cameras, so there was nothing they could do even if they stood where they were. Who would believe that there were no photos to write an article these days?
"Motherf * cker! What the f * ck! "
A few of the reporters standing outside could not help but curse. They tossed the ruined cameras aside and ran outside like madmen!
The other reporters saw this and decided that the news was not as important as their lives. The more they thought about it, the more horrified they became.
After Yang Cheng and the others left, he stood guard at the door. Not long after, Lin Ruoxi rushed over with a few people in charge of the venue.
"Have you called the police? There's something here that needs to be tested." Yang Cheng said.
Lin Ruoxi nodded. She glanced at the female corpse lying on the carpet in the room. It was covered in blood. She couldn't bear to look at it any longer. Although she had seen many dead people when she was with Yang Chen, she still frowned.
Sighing, Lin Ruoxi said worriedly, "This is going to be a mess. With Lu Yao's reputation, the whole country will know that she died at Yu Lei International's gala, and in our lounge."
Yang Cheng sneered, "That's what the murderer was hoping for, isn't it?"
Lin Ruoxi seemed to have thought of this as well. She rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on. "I really can't think of anyone who would kill Lu Yao to harm Yu Lei International. Besides, the security guard said that there were no strange people here. How did the murderer avoid the cameras?"
"If it's not a person … maybe he could have avoided it." Yang Cheng said.
Lin Ruoxi's eyes flashed with surprise. She whispered, "Don't tell me … it's those practitioners you talked about before?"
Yang Cheng shrugged. "I don't think so. The culprit isn't that skilled. I can't be sure. Let's wait for the police to come and do some tests. Maybe we'll know. Anyway, don't worry. As long as we get to the bottom of this murder case, it will only make our company more trustworthy. "
Lin Ruoxi had no other ideas. She could only comfort her subordinates and wait for Yang Cheng to solve the problem. No matter how strong she was, when it came to assassinations and deaths, Lin Ruoxi had no idea what to do.
Ten minutes later, Cai Yan, who had not been seen for a few days, arrived at the scene with a group of police officers in a valiant police uniform.
She made eye contact with Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi. Choi Yeon dared not show too much intimacy in front of her subordinates. She ordered the officers and the search department to cordon off the scene and collect evidence and samples.
Following that, Cai Yan asked in a business-like manner, "Who was the first witness at the crime scene?"
Zhao Hongyan calmed down a little and raised her hand. "It was me … I followed General Lin's instructions and came here to check on Miss Lu Yao. But when I opened the door, I saw Miss Lu Yao dead inside …"
"Did you see anyone strange on your way here?" Choi Yeon asked.
Zhao Hongyan thought about it and shook her head. "There were only a few waiters. They came to check on me when they saw that I was shocked. There was no one else suspicious."
Choi Yeon then called the other waiters to the scene and questioned them one by one. She observed their facial expressions carefully, but they were all ordinary employees and there was nothing strange about them.
At this time, a member of the search team came forward, took off his mask and reported, "Chief Cai, according to the preliminary investigation, Miss Lu Yao's carotid artery was severed by a knife, causing her to bleed to death. The murderer is very vicious. When the knife was slashed across her neck, the flesh on her neck was torn apart, as if it was a vendetta. The time of death should be less than half an hour ago. The weapon used by the murderer is the fruit knife found under the sofa. But strangely enough, Miss Lu Yao did not show any signs of resistance. It was as if she was slashed before she could react. "
Yang Cheng asked, "There might be other wounds on Lu Yao's body. Did you find anything?"
