Chapter 132 N God! You dare to cheat?

The whistling sound of the propellers grew louder as they approached.

A moment later, Gu Xingnian landed and walked over briskly. Beside her was Zhan Xiao, tall and stern-faced.

Four more team members followed behind, each with a grim expression and an imposing aura.

Fu Beichen took a few steps forward to meet him, his brows furrowed.

"Why did you come here?" His voice was filled with suppressed anger. "Don't you know it's dangerous here?"

Gu Xingnian glanced at him coldly, "This is my personal feud with him, and no one can take my place."

Her voice was completely calm, yet every word was clear.

Fu Beichen glared fiercely at Zhan Xiao beside him.

Zhan Xiao's eyes showed a hint of helplessness, and the corner of his mouth seemed to twitch slightly.

That expression seemed to say: I hope you, Young Master Fu, can remain so calm when we're rescuing your father-in-law later.

The mountain wind howled.

Sure enough, Erwin came out shortly after.

He stood at the entrance of the cave, which was more than ten meters high, his black figure standing out against the gray rock wall.

This location boasts an absolute geographical advantage, allowing for both offensive and defensive maneuvers.

Beside the cave is a shimmering reservoir, with an abandoned power station on the right, like a silent behemoth.

Several pairs of eyes were hidden inside, spying on them.

Erwin spread his arms and shouted down.

"N God! Did you bring the antidote?" The voice echoed through the valley. "How about we make a deal?"

Gu Xingnian's eyes remained cold and emotionless. "Then you'll need to use two things to get this antidote."

She took a purplish-red glass test tube out of her pocket and gently twirled it between her fingertips.

Under the sunlight, the liquid shimmered with an eerie luster.

Upon hearing this, Alvin let out a wild laugh.

"Ha, you greedy woman! You want two things in exchange for one. Tell me, what do you want?"

Gu Xingnian spoke each word clearly and distinctly.

"The hostages you hold, and my original genetic database."

She paused, her tone authoritative and unyielding, "If you lose your life, these things are useless to you."

Alvin's smile faded slightly, and his eyes flickered, clearly indicating that he was thinking quickly.

After a moment, he said.

"Sure! But I want you to bring it up yourself."

Gu Xingnian's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"I agree to the exchange, but you have to come down and get it yourself."

"If you don't dare, then go home and see me again in six months."

Six months later?

He's dead, what's the point of seeing him now!

Erwin narrowed his eyes, cursed inwardly, but ultimately decided to go ahead.

"You wait!"

He uttered a single sentence and then disappeared into the cave entrance.

The air seemed to freeze.

Fifteen minutes later, Erwin and his group came down the mountain path, cursing and swearing.

There were about five or six people, all of them looking fierce and menacing.

Two of the henchmen were shoving a man who was tightly bound.

It was Sheng Chengjun.

At this moment, Sheng Chengjun was covered with a sack, his hands and feet were tied behind his back, and something was stuffed in his mouth, so he could only make muffled sounds.

When he saw Gu Xingnian standing opposite him, he began to struggle violently.

The two groups are now ten meters apart.

Tensions were high.

Fu Beichen's eyes flashed with a ruthless glint. What a mad dog! He actually dared to kidnap someone from Haicheng!

He walked to Gu Xingnian's side, lowered his voice, but his tone was firm and unyielding.

"I'll go with you in a bit!"

Unexpectedly, Gu Xingnian didn't even look at him, and directly said to Zhan Xiao, "Mr. Zhan, please take me there in a moment."

Zhan Xiao nodded expressionlessly and hummed in agreement.

Fu Beichen's face instantly turned as black as charcoal, and an inexplicable anger surged to his head.

She doesn't trust him? She'd rather trust a stranger?

So the two groups prepared to exchange.

Alvin stared intently at the test tube in Gu Xingnian's hand with his hawk-like eyes, and then spoke again.

"How do I know if this antidote is real?"

Gu Xingnian responded coldly.

"As long as the data you return is genuine, my reagent will definitely be able to cure the poison in your body."

"You're a smart man, don't risk your life."

Her response was quite harsh, throwing the pressure of the choice back at her.

The choice between life and death is made by both parties; neither can gain an advantage.

Alvin thought for a moment with a sinister look in his eyes, and finally exchanged a small silver box for one of his men.

Then, he gestured to his men to grab Sheng Chengjun and slowly walked over.

Gu Xingnian also gestured to Zhan Xiao.

The two groups of people walked slowly forward, each step feeling like they were stepping on a knife's edge.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense.

Fu Beichen was so nervous that his palms were sweating. He quietly made a hand gesture to signal the sniper in the distance to get ready.

At the very moment the two met.

Zhan Xiao reacted quickly and caught Sheng Chengjun as he staggered over.

Gu Xingnian carefully handed the purplish-red test tube to Alvin's menacing-looking subordinate.

Then, she took the small silver box.

It's extremely light, it's obviously fake!

Gu Xingnian's heart sank, and she was about to turn around.

The henchman's eyes flashed with a fierce light. He suddenly grabbed Gu Xingnian's arm with astonishing strength. "Go!"

After taking about two steps, Gu Xingnian shouted sharply, "Be careful!"

Almost simultaneously, Zhan Xiao had already pulled Sheng Chengjun back two steps and then quickly lay down. Before lying down, he swung his arm forcefully, and Gu Xingnian's entire body was pulled backward and flew into the air by a thin steel wire.

"boom--!"

An explosion was heard.

It wasn't particularly powerful, but it still blew up five or six of Elwin's men, leaving them scattered and mangled.

Elwin was also blasted aside by the powerful impact, landing in a daze, completely bewildered.

Everyone was stunned.

This happened so fast! Nobody knows why it exploded.

Fu Beichen was so frightened that he rushed forward and caught Gu Xingnian as she fell. Due to the strong impact, the two of them fell backward together. He used his large hand to protect her small head. The two rolled around several times before stopping.

Immediately afterwards, a barrage of gunfire erupted, bullets whistling past their ears, covering the retreat of both sides.

As the smoke gradually dissipated.

Both sides quickly hid and disappeared.

What followed was Elwin's furious roar, which seemed to shake the valley to its core.

"N God! You dare to cheat? I'll kill you!"

The explosion occurred to his left rear.

At that moment, he felt a burning pain in his left buttock, blood gushing out, and he was in a miserable state.

Just now, I was so close to getting that woman!

In the abandoned factory, the eyes that had been hidden in the shadows grew even more profound.

For a moment just now, he was also frightened and almost lost control and rushed out.

Fu Beichen quickly helped Gu Xingnian up and led her behind an obstacle to the side.

His voice was strained, with obvious nervousness.

"Are you hurt?" His hands trembled slightly as he carefully examined her.

Gu Xingnian shook her head gently, her face pale and her heart pounding.

That was indeed a bit dangerous; the power of that explosion was beyond imagination.

She replied, "Alvin, you're the one who tricked us. The real data box contained a micro-bomb, and you only have yourself to blame."

She could detonate the bomb as long as she was within 5 meters of the data box. She told Zhan Xiao this secret, which was why she asked him to accompany her to the exchange.

She calculated every single step.

If Fu Beichen accompanies her there, he will definitely protect her in a crisis, which would put Sheng's father in danger.

At this moment, Irwin's men were heavily wounded, and he had even lost half of his buttocks. If he had handed over the real data box, the bomb would never have detonated.

Damn, I miscalculated!

Sheng Chengjun was successfully rescued, but the data box was destroyed, giving Gu Xingnian's side the temporary advantage!

"A time bomb!" Zhan Xiao's deep voice suddenly rang out.

As he carefully peeled the burlap sack off Sheng Chengjun's body.

They discovered a transparent time bomb, about the size of a fist, firmly strapped to Sheng Chengjun's chest.

Zhan Xiao's eyes narrowed suddenly.

Gu Xingnian rushed over without hesitation and comforted Sheng's father, "Dad, don't be afraid, everything will be alright."

She had always called him "godfather," but on the day she left, the old man suddenly said, "From now on, you can only call me 'dad'!"

Her voice trembled slightly, sounding somewhat flustered.

Fu Beichen walked over, looked at the number on the screen, and it stopped at 180 seconds without moving!

"Niannian, I'm fine. You go back... away a bit, okay? Be good!" Sheng Chengjun's voice trembled slightly as he tried his best to remain calm.

Fu Beichen shielded Gu Xingnian behind him, while he and Zhan Xiao were intently examining the bomb, their brows furrowed deeply.

Alvin jumped out somewhat smugly, then suddenly groaned "Ouch!" forgetting his injured buttocks.

"N God, you don't think I didn't have a backup plan, do you? Now, I'll give you another choice: either you die, or this old guy dies. If you don't want him to die, come over here obediently."

Old fox!

Gu Xingnian was about to go forward when Fu Beichen grabbed her, "You can't go!"

Sheng Chengjun roughly understood what was going on, and he shouted, "Niannian, don't go over there, come back here!"

Gu Xingnian turned her head to look at Sheng Chengjun, her brows furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.

Suddenly, she gently tugged at Fu Beichen's hand, startling him.

"Can you promise me that you will safely send Dad back to Haicheng?" she asked, her eyes pleading as if she were entrusting her dying child to someone.

"No! If you're going back, you all have to go back together, not one of you can be missing!" Fu Beichen coldly refused her, his tone carrying an unyielding domineering air.

Suddenly, a "beep" sounded, and the numbers on the bomb's display began counting down: 179, 178, 177...

This further heightened the tense atmosphere on the scene.

Fu Beichen suddenly raised his hand, and all the hidden team members popped out, surrounding the scene from all angles.

"Alvin, if you don't hand over the remote control, I'll riddle you with bullets today, and you won't be leaving Maduri."

Alvin surveyed the situation. Not bad, they had a lot of people, but his trump card hadn't been revealed yet.

He chuckled arrogantly, "Sorry, there's no remote control. You'll have to take it apart yourselves. But be quick, or Mr. Sheng will be turned into mincemeat in no time."

On the other side, Sheng Weiwei, who was drinking water, accidentally broke her cup. As she tried to pick up the shards, she cut her finger, and a drop of bright red blood fell to the ground, creating a small red flower...

Zhan Xiao stared at the three sets of lines on the bomb—yellow, blue, and white—and frowned, utterly at a loss. The value had already jumped to 140. Every second wasted increased the danger level by one point.

Suddenly, Gu Xingnian came out and took a glass test tube containing a blue solution from her pocket.

"Alvin, do you think the antidote you got is real? Everyone has a backup plan. If my father doesn't survive, you'll die with him!"

Gu Xingnian said fiercely, pulled off the lid, and was about to pour it out...

"Don't fall!" Alvin jumped out in fright!

That's right, that's his Achilles' heel!

"Tell me, which line to cut! I'll give you three seconds." She snapped, "Three, one!"

She didn't even call "two"? How insidious!

"White, cut white!" Alvin shouted anxiously, then quietly took two steps back.
