True Love Waits novel Chapter 1312

At the CBD Exhibition Center of Y City, a group of elites from all walks of life had just walked out of the main entrance after concluding a comprehensive meeting.

Matthew was encircled by several people as they kept going over the main points of the meeting. "Mr. Huo, what do you think about that matter?"

Matthew, however, looked around obliviously and replied in an obvious tone of indifference, "It depends on the opinion of the public. The best way is to do a survey among the masses."

Just at that moment, another group of people approached them from the other side, led by a woman, sophisticatedly dressed in a grey plaid design dress and her long purple hair bounced over her shoulders neatly. When her eyes met with Matthew, she walked up to him and greeted, "Mr. Huo, what a coincidence!" The woman was beautiful, graceful and noble.

Matthew simply cast her a glance and responded with a silent nod of the head.

However, another person who knew the both of them greeted the woman in a flattering tone, "Miss Su, what brings you here?"

With a pleasing smile, Camille looked past their shoulders, at the building behind them and said, "I am here to take part in an activity. It's on the third floor."

It was then that they realized there was a fashion show on the third floor of the CBD Exhibition Center today.

The smile on the woman's face captivated all the other men present as they struggled to take their eyes off her. Of course, all but one man, Matthew, who was just about to walk past Camille and make his exit.

Bang! All of a sudden, an earth-shattering sound snatched everyone's attention.

It happened so fast that everyone's brain had shut down and their eyes were wide as if someone or something was coming to deliver a fatal blow. "Ah! A gun! Someone's been shot..."

Unfortunately, the instant someone screamed that there was a gun, everyone panicked and started dispersing in all directions.

Someone had opened fire on the people, critically wounding those standing in the crowd.

Senses sharpened with adrenaline, only Matthew held his breath and remained calm, straining to hear with every ounce of his concentration. He found the perfect spot to shield himself from the bullets while he squinted his eyes to get a better look at the source of the gunshots. Soon, he saw two or three men with guns pointing at him from a minibus just at the opposite and at a corner.

Just in the nick of time, a bevy of bodyguards, dressed in black, broke through the crowd and rushed towards Matthew to protect him.

Matthew immediately swerved, successfully dodging a bullet as it almost grazed past his left shoulder by two mere inches. The yelp of a helpless woman caught his attention. It seemed as though she screamed out in pain as she had just sprained her ankle and was about to fall down right before Matthew.

Matthew wasn't too happy when he found out who it was. He stretched out his hand to help her keep balance, so that Camille wouldn't land on him.

Unfortunately, Camille had clutched onto his strong hand very tightly, almost as though her life depended on it.

The entire scene was a pure spectacle as Matthew had two or three guns aimed at him, while his bodyguards were desperately trying to get to him.

Chaos ensued as the combined deafening screams and cries came from all sides.

Suddenly, a car sped over and stopped right in front of Matthew, who was surrounded by his bodyguards. When the door of the car was opened from the inside, Camille screamed, "Mr. Huo, be careful..."

A group of gangsters had suddenly appeared behind the CEO and cocked their guns at his back. The woman who was standing next to him turned around and stood behind him almost instantly. "Ah!" Two bullets in succession were shot into her body, silencing her.

Frowning, Matthew pulled her away and helped her into the car.

The bodyguards quickly found the hiding place of the enemies behind them and got rid of two of them very soon.

Matthew took the opportunity to take a look at the woman in the car, who was covering her wound with her hand while writhing in pain. He knew then that these people were serious and the target was none other than himself.

He grabbed the pistol from the bodyguard nearest him and pushed the bodyguard into the car. He used the car door as cover and located the nearest attacker. Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger and accurately hit him on the shoulder.
