Chapter 65: Explosion of the Venue
The time passed quickly, and the meeting reached 10 o'clock in the morning, and the moderator of the meeting, the minister of management, Matsuki Motoliang, announced that the meeting was suspended and the participants could rest for half an hour.
But he said at the end that in this half hour, reporters can interview several major figures on the rostrum, and apparently this includes President Takuma Ito.
This made Xu Chengyan suddenly startled, and secretly said that it was not good, according to the schedule provided by the previous Nikko Club, the time left for the reporters of Xinmin Daily to interview was the last time period of the morning meeting, that is, from half past eleven to twelve o'clock, why was it suddenly advanced?
In this way, the blasting time set by himself is not right, at this time there are still twenty-five minutes before the blasting time, if Takuma Ito has been interviewed and does not enter the lounge, even if it kills some of the delegates attending the meeting, it will not be insignificant and will not affect the overall situation, and this mission will be considered a failure.
And once it is blasted, it will startle the snake, and it will be even more difficult to attack Takuma Ito in the future.
Xu Chengyan was secretly anxious in his heart, and he had the heart to go to the lounge to take out the time bomb and stop the explosion, but he didn't have time.
Because Kyosuke Watanabe had been waiting for a long time, after hearing Matsuki Motora's announcement, he immediately waved to Xu Chengyan, and Xu Chengyan had no choice but to step forward.
"Honestly, our interview time has changed, President Ito has an important meeting at noon, so the original interview time is advanced, and we will bring people to interview according to the division of labor, and the time is not long, so everyone should hurry."
"Got it!" Xu Chengyan hurriedly agreed, then waved his hand and led Bai Sinan and several other Chinese reporters to the rostrum.
According to the previous division of labor, Kyosuke Watanabe was, of course, interviewing Takuma Ito, several Japanese reporters interviewing Japanese military representatives, and Xu Chengyan, these Chinese reporters were responsible for interviewing two ministers of the provincial office.
As a result, Xu Chengyan did not have time to go to the lounge to pick up the time bomb, let alone adjust the blasting time.
As for Zhang Zhiyuan and Shi Yushan, they can't help much, they don't know the specific location of Xu Chengyan's time bomb κΉ And they are not familiar with time bombs κΉ They are intelligence agents, and when they are trained, they mainly learn intelligence skills, and they only know a little bit about the production of time bombs, and it is not feasible for them to adjust the blasting time.
It would be nice if Ji Yun was here! Xu Chengyan was anxious in his heart, but his face was silent, and he still methodically asked the two ministers the questions he had prepared in advance.
In order to end the interview early, Xu Chengyan deliberately seized the time to carry out the interview, and it only took less than ten minutes to end the interview.
He left the rostrum with the Chinese reporters, and the Japanese reporters saw that Xu Chengyan had finished the interview here, and that the military representatives had no newsworthy speeches, which were just clichΓ©s, so they quickly ended the interview.
At this time, only Kyosuke Watanabe's interview with Takuma Ito continued, obviously Kyosuke Watanabe cherished this opportunity, after all, being able to interview a high-level executive like Takujin Ito is extremely rare for a journalist!
Seeing that the time was approaching the blasting point, Xu Chengyan had completely given up the plan to adjust the blasting time at this time, he had no time and opportunity, so he could only resign himself to fate.
But at this time, Takuma Ito, who was the subject of the interview, couldn't hold on, he also insisted on the rostrum for more than two hours, and was dragged by Kyosuke Watanabe for an interview for a long time, and after answering a few questions one after another, he was already a little impatient at this time.
He gave Matsuki Motora a look to the side of him, Matsuki Motora immediately understood, hurriedly stepped forward, stopped in front of Kyosuke Watanabe, and said with a smile: "Watanabe-kun, the interview is here for the time being, the president is also a little tired, and he will preside over the meeting next, and he needs to rest for a while, and we will arrange it later." β
Kyosuke Watanabe also saw that Taku Ito was really impatient, and seeing that the other reporters had already finished the interview, he quickly nodded and agreed: "I'm sorry, I didn't think it well and delayed the president's rest." β
He bowed respectfully to Takuma Ito as a sign of apology.
Takuma Ito smiled and said with a kind smile: "Watanabe-kun, I'm very happy to communicate with you, and there will be opportunities in the future." β
With that, he stood up and walked to the right side of the hall, with Matsuki Motora walking in front and several guards following to the left and right.
As soon as Takuma Ito moved, Xu Chengyan had already seen it, and his heart suddenly reached his throat.
Taku Ito is really walking towards the lounge, there is still a chance, and there is still a chance!
At this time, the blasting time was almost reached, and Xu Chengyan didn't dare to take out his pocket watch in front of everyone to check the time, but according to his estimate, the time bomb was about to explode.
Go faster, go faster! He prayed in his heart that Takuma Ito would enter the lounge a moment earlier, how could he feel that his steps were walking so slowly......
Just when Xu Chengyan's mental tension was extreme, Matsuki Motora introduced Takuma Ito into the door of the lounge.
"Boom ......" A violent explosion exploded and was deafening!
A huge burst of fire flashed out of the lounge, and the hot and powerful shock wave blew the door and the partition glass window at the same time, spilling out of the lounge and sweeping towards the nearby crowd.
Everywhere they passed, there were terrible screams, and several people who were close were lifted by the air waves, thrown out like sacks, and then fell heavily to the ground, all motionless, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
A huge spark flashed, and the moment of the explosion, everyone's eyes flashed, followed by a puff of smoke, pouring out of the lounge, and the billowing smoke filled the air, making it impossible to see anything inside.
The entire hall shook, and the crystal chandelier hanging in the center of the hall exploded with a loud crack, falling off the wall with a crisp and loud sound, knocking several delegates to the ground before they had time to react.
Although Xu Chengyan had been prepared, he fell sideways at the moment of the explosion, but because of the close distance, the shock wave still affected him, only to feel a strong airflow swept over his back, his left arm shook, and soon a sharp pain hit, and he secretly screamed in his heart, this feeling is too familiar to him, he is hanging the lottery.
Although the explosion was only a short moment, the powerful destructive power was fully revealed, the space in the lounge was limited, the smoke was billowing out, and the people around were knocked to the ground by the shock wave and the shards, lying horizontally and vertically, wailing one after another, and the scene was extremely tragic for a while!
"President! Save the president! β
A shout woke everyone up, this was the voice of Yamada Otomo, who was far away from the lounge at the time of the explosion and was not injured, but now he was not in the mood for joy at all, but with a frightened face, he took the lead in rushing to the lounge.
Takuma Ito must not have an accident, once something happens, not to mention the Nikko Kaisha, but all the departments involved in the security work today, if there is one, it will not be able to get out of it.
With the background of the Nikko Club and the powerful latent forces, if they are investigated, they can't afford it at all, especially his current situation, he really can't afford such a turmoil.
At this time, the guards and agents of the special high school in the hall all rushed into the smoke with Yamada Daitomo.
Xu Chengyan also stood up, but there was a tearing pain in his left arm, and Bai Sinan beside him exclaimed: "Chengyan, you are injured!" β
Xu Chengyan frowned, looked down at his left arm, and saw that his clothes had been cut open by some sharp weapon, and blood gushed out and had flowed out through his clothes.
He was very experienced in the feeling of physical injury, and knew that his bones were not injured, so he no longer dwelled on it, but said in an anxious tone: "I don't care, it's a flesh injury, come and see President Ito." β
So everyone rushed up and quickly rescued everyone in the lounge one by one.
Takuma Ito had just walked into the lounge at the time of the explosion, so he collapsed at the door of the lounge, and he was the first to be carried out, with blood spilling from his mouth and nose, and he was unconscious.
Yamada Daitomo hurriedly checked Takuma Ito's vital signs, touched his chest and heartbeat, opened his eyelids, and his pupils did not diverge, and he was suddenly surprised, and shouted loudly: "The president is still alive, find a doctor!" β
This sentence lifted the spirits of all the people around him, and as soon as Takuma Ito died, all the people here could not escape accountability.
But Xu Chengyan's heart sank, he didn't expect Takuto Ito to be so big that he could survive an explosion of such intensity, it was a miracle, so the assassination mission was still not completed.
Thinking of this, Xu Chengyan had a resurgence of murder in his heart, and was ready to take advantage of the chaos to attack again, but at this time, the guards and agents of the special high school of the Nikko Club had already surrounded Takuma Ito tightly in the middle, and he had no chance to get close at all.
The other people in the hall of the venue had also come to their senses and slowly gathered here, but Yamada Otomo shouted and ordered them not to approach, to stay where they were, and then to track down, everyone here was suspicious, and none of them could leave.
Zhang Zhiyuan and Shi Yushan were also mixed in the crowd, and they glanced at Xu Chengyan, both of them had the intention of asking, and they were obviously ready to take a risk.
However, it was found that Xu Chengyan had no intention of moving at all, but retreated to the side with a few Chinese reporters, and two clever reporters also picked up their cameras and clicked to take a few photos, but they were snatched away by Kyosuke Watanabe, and then kicked to the ground.
"Yaga! Idiot, can't take pictures! β
Kyosuke Watanabe knew that this time it was a big problem, Takuma Ito was bombed, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and there are so many people lying at the scene, and the casualties are absolutely heavy.
This matter has a huge impact, it is no longer for them to interfere without permission, everything depends on how the above handles it, at this time, it is already considered lucky to be able to stay out of the matter, where to dare to do more.
