Chapter 30 After Breaking Into the Boss’s Room 30 (Update 2) “My…
030 After breaking into the boss' room
The rear door of the Maybach was opened and Lu Jiu got out of the car.
Someone also got out from the driver's seat. It was the bodyguard that Lu Quning forgot to call Xiao Hei or Xiao Bai.
The two of them disappeared into his blind spot - the Maybach blocked the entrance to the villa and also blocked his sight.
Lu Quning waited in the car with bated breath, one minute, two minutes...
Will the things he hid in the villa be discovered?
His palms were sweating with nervousness.
Do you want to go in now?
Will Lu Jiu leave through the back door of the villa?
A gleam of light flashed in Lu Quning's eyes.
No, that shouldn't be the case. Their cars were all parked at the gate. Unless Lu Jiu already knew his plan, why would he abandon the car at the gate and sneak out through the back door?
Lu Qu Ning took a deep breath and told himself not to be nervous and not to feel guilty.
It was Lu Jiu who messed up everything, and now he is just taking back what belongs to him!
He made up his mind and looked around carefully - after he transformed himself into Lu Jiu, he never returned to the temporary rental house and found a new place to live in order to prevent anyone from discovering this secret.
He wanted to completely transform himself into Lu Jiu tonight.
Lu Qu Ning let out a long breath and his eyes calmed down.
He pushed open the car door and ran quickly into the Lu family villa in the night. From beginning to end, there was no passerby on the street. He only lowered his head when he passed by the surveillance camera on the corner.
*
The lights were on in the living room on the first floor, but no one was seen. Faint voices could be heard coming from Lu Jiu's room on the second floor.
Lu Quning carefully closed the door and ran quickly to the warehouse on the first floor, his heart pounding.
It was a room they usually used to store sundries, and usually only the nanny would go in. But when he pushed the door open, several barrels of gasoline came into Lu Quning's sight.
His breathing was very rapid.
He glanced at the second floor again.
The door of Lu Jiu's room had not been opened yet, and the two men were still in the room.
Lu Quning used his mind to call out the last bit of power left after the destruction of 329 - the achievement points he had accumulated in those mission worlds.
He used some of his achievement points to exchange for a low-level treasure chest, and after opening it, he selected the "protective shield" function.
The next second, a faint golden halo enveloped him.
Lu Quning bent down, picked up two barrels of oil, left the room, and began to dump them along the way.
…
A strong smell of gasoline soon filled the villa.
Even with the protective shield as a barrier, Lu Quning still felt nauseous from the smoke.
After spraying the first floor, he gritted his teeth, picked up a bucket of oil and ran to the second floor, then filled the corridor on the second floor with gasoline at the fastest speed and with the lightest movements.
Then he took a deep breath.
He took out a box of matches, lit them, stretched his arm over the railing, and released his fingers.
The match fell down.
The flames trembled as they fell, and ignited the gasoline the moment they touched the ground.
——The raging flames spread rapidly, turning the entire first floor into a fire scene in an instant.
All the air in the villa became combustible. There was a bang, a loud noise like an explosion, the house shook, Lu Quning fell to the ground, his eyes closed and opened, raging flames surrounded him, and thick black smoke rushed towards the protective shield!
Lu Quning was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, the thick smoke was blocked by the protective shield and he could still breathe a little fresh air!
Although he had prepared himself mentally, Lu Qu Ning still felt as if he had survived a calamity.
He quickly got up and rushed to the door of Lu Jiu's room, grabbed the door handle to prevent the person inside from opening it, and then put his ear to the door panel to listen.
There's a sound inside! Lu Jiu and the bodyguard are still inside!
Lu Quning's heart was pounding.
What were they talking about? Did they find out the villa was on fire?
The flames made the whole house creak, and the thick smoke penetrated into every corner and crack that could be penetrated.
At this moment, Lu Jiu and the bodyguard in the room should even be able to see the thick smoke rising outside through the window!
As long as they die here and burn into two charred corpses, he can become Lu Jiu!
He would pretend to escape, pretending that he was the bodyguard who had entangled "Lu Qu Ning" and protected him. He would cry and throw himself into Bai Yun's arms, and from then on he would be able to have Lu Jiu's life!
Lu Qu Ning was so excited that a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
Are you scared?
Are you panicking?
Lu Jiu, how do you feel now?
"...Mr. Lu, is this your mother's thing?"
“Ah, this one too.”
Amid the creaking sounds, two sentences of conversation were clearly heard by Lu Quning.
He was stunned.
Haven't these two people noticed that the house is on fire?
"This is not it, put it down."
"Can you lift it?"
"Okay, I'll do it!"
The whole house was shaking, and Lu Quning even vaguely heard someone outside shouting "It's on fire", but the voices of Lu Jiu and the bodyguards inside the house were always leisurely and calm.
Lu Quning's heart sank.
He slammed the door open!
The smoke-filled room was pitch black.
The protective shield began to lose its effectiveness. Lu Quning inhaled some thick smoke. While choking, he fumbled for the light switch on the wall and turned it on.
——A mobile phone lies on the ground in the middle of the room.
The recording plays on a loop.
"Mr. Lu, is this your mother's thing?"
“Ah, this one too.”
"This is not it, put it down."
"Can you lift it?"
"Okay, I'll do it!"
…
Lu Qu Ning slowly opened his eyes, his eyes bloodshot.
He turned around and ran to his room next door like crazy, pushed the door open, but there was no one!
I ran to the end of the corridor and found Lu Mingyang and Yang Yu’s bedroom, but there was no one there!
There's no one in the study!
There’s no one in the small living room on the second floor!
No one in the bathroom! No one in the small balcony!
Downstairs, everywhere, in the entire villa, there was no one except him!
——Where did Lu Jiu go? !
Lu Qu Ning choked madly and ran out the back door. He left the fire and smoke, but his lungs were still burning.
His eyes were covered with a layer of dust, and tears welled up in his eyes when the cold wind blew.
His vision was distorted and shaking, and he couldn't see anything clearly. He rushed through the straight alley where people were gradually gathering, ignoring their surprised looks and kept running.
Gradually, he became unsure whether he was so angry that he had to chase Lu Jiu, or whether he wanted to escape to a place where no one could find him and discover that it was Lu Quning who set the fire.
At the end of an unfamiliar street, a black Bentley was parked there.
Lu Qu Ning tripped over a stone and fell to the ground in a panic.
He no longer had any strength left. He had choked out almost all the oxygen in his lungs. He felt dizzy, his ears were buzzing, and he seemed to be dying.
The back door of the car was open.
Someone is sitting inside.
The black suit pants were straight and the leather shoes were clean and shiny.
"I was wondering when you would come out."
The man's gentle voice fell from above his head.
Lu Quning froze.
Teeth began to chatter.
The familiar fear was rising into his heart at a very rapid speed, like the tide at high tide.
The mouse maneuvered in and out of the complex curves, trying all kinds of ways to escape, but finally found itself in a huge man-made toy maze, with a pair of all-seeing eyes overlooking it.
"Twenty minutes. That's longer than I thought. Is this also a special ability given to you by the 'person' you communicated with?"
Lu Quning began to tremble all over.
He stared blankly at a corner of the ground, and his muscles seemed to have turned into stone.
At some point, something happened.
He shuddered and raised his head in panic.
Above the trembling vision, a ribbon composed of black characters was floating up and winding.
Lu Quning's face turned pale instantly. He raised his hands and touched his face, and found that his skin was loosening and he was melting.
“Ah—ah—”
In the driver's seat of the Bentley, the driver looked straight ahead without saying a word, as if he had heard nothing.
In the back seat, the man still sat elegantly.
The ribbon flowed silently towards him along with the surge of cold air.
Dark grey eyes watched the scene with interest.
He raised his hand and spread out his five bony fingers.
The ribbon is buckled.
"Ah-ah-ah-" Lu Qu Ning screamed miserably and stepped back. He was unable to react except wailing as he looked at this scene which was beyond his understanding and made him extremely terrified.
"Is this the 'bug'?"
The man looked at what he had in his hand, thoughtfully.
“Speaking of which,” he tapped the thing that looked like it came from another world with his thumb without looking up, “I don’t know who you are, but your dress-up game is really of very poor quality.”
"If you can still 'go back', please tell them not to play like this again, okay?"
As if they were negotiating, the man slowly pressed his thumb down.
"No matter who my lover is, it has nothing to do with you, and I don't need you to tell me the answer."
"Don't interfere with each other, can you do that?"
The black ribbon was pressed against the fingertips and broken silently into two pieces.
The characters lost their restraints and drifted in all directions like dust.
…
The alley returned to silence.
The driver stood still, looking straight ahead, sweat slowly dripping down his forehead.
There was only a pile of human skin left on the ground in front of the rear door of the car, with a frightened eye folded on top, staring at the night sky.
Bai Yun tilted his head and looked at him.
Three seconds later, the pile of human skin disappeared into the air just like the black characters.
As if it had never appeared.
