Chapter 230 Husband and wife are of one mind



When Bai Ying was having a headache, He Shiwen came to the study after not finding anything useful in other rooms. She naturally picked up the documents on the desk and started looking through them.

"These are lists of items."

Hearing this, Bai Ying raised her eyes and asked in surprise, "Can you understand?"

He Shiwen subconsciously said modestly: "I know a little bit."

"Then hurry up and see what these mean!"

He Shiwen frowned and translated slowly, not quickly but accurately. "Nitroglycerin, hexamine, concentrated nitric acid, detonator..."

As she was reciting this, He Shiwen suddenly looked up and realized something was wrong. "These are all raw materials for synthesizing explosives!"

"Could it be..."

Bai Ying's expression gradually became serious.

The two looked at each other and guessed what the enemy spies were going to do this time.

It is very likely that the purpose is the same as last time, to create another big explosion!

Thinking about the upcoming coronation ceremony, many villagers will go up the mountain to worship the goddess. This is the best opportunity to take action. If those enemy spies really want to do something, they will choose this time.

In other words... the explosion is likely to take place on the day of the coronation ceremony!

"I see!"

Bai Ying gritted her teeth in hatred, "They left tonight, most likely to bury explosives."

However, she really couldn't understand. This was obviously the territory of the Goddess. How could she let these people act freely in the sacred mountain? Didn't she suspect these people's movements?

How could she be so sure that the enemy spies wouldn't harm her...

"What should we do? Bai Ying, what should we do?"

He Shiwen was so anxious that she was spinning around in circles. "The coronation ceremony is the day after tomorrow. If we can't resolve the explosion crisis, many people will die!"

"Don't be impatient."

Although Bai Ying was also anxious, she tried to calm He Shiwen down. Her anxiety subsided as she spoke. "They've bought so much explosives, so much they could flatten the mountain! They certainly wouldn't be so foolish as to detonate them right there on the mountain. They'll definitely set up a detonator and wait until they're safely out of the vicinity of Shenshan before detonating it. As long as we find a detonator that can control the detonation of the explosives, we'll be fine!"

"Then hurry up and find it!"

The two of them started to get busy again, looking for the detonator everywhere.

Although they knew about the existence of a detonator, neither of them had ever seen one, and they had no idea what it was.

Bai Ying said decisively, "Here's what I'm going to do! You stay outside and keep watch. If those people come back, pick up some rocks and smash the windows. If I can't get out, you quickly report this to Captain Fang and the others!"

It's enough to leave her here alone to search.

There is not much point for He Shiwen to stay, so it is better for her to go out and keep watch. If the enemy spies come back, she will leave quickly and send the message.

We can't both of them die here, right?

The matter is of great importance, and Bai Ying must make a choice.

"Okay! Then be careful."

He Shiwen didn't think too much about it, and she didn't know that Bai Ying was ready to sacrifice herself after being discovered. She agreed and went out of the house, staring at the movements around her at the door.

Time is running out.

Bai Ying seemed to have heard the ticking sound of a clock. Time was passing rapidly, but she still had no clue for a moment.

She almost searched the entire study!

Where is the detonator?

Just when Bai Ying was going crazy, she suddenly heard a slight sound outside, as if someone jumped into the house through the back window.

Someone came in?!

Didn't He Shiwen see it outside? Or has something happened?

Realizing this, Bai Ying didn't have time to think about anything else. She quickly pulled the cord of the desk lamp to turn off the light, letting darkness cover the study again.

The next moment, she hid under the table with the medicine box, took out the pistol from the medicine box, and held it in her hand to defend herself.

The other party's footsteps were almost silent.

Moonlight shines into the house...

I vaguely saw someone outside walking into the study and approaching the desk with a clear goal. Judging from the lower body, it was a man with long legs and should be very tall.

The next moment, a pair of big men's feet came into Bai Ying's sight. Bai Ying held her breath and did not make any sound, for fear of being discovered by the other party.

After all, I don't know whether he is a friend or an enemy...

Those who can easily get here may be from the Goddess's side, and they are not really friendly with them.

The other party came to the table and searched for the information on it.

The documents on the desk seemed to be troubling him, and he had no idea what to do for a moment.

“…”

Bai Ying's face gradually turned red.

Finally, she couldn't hold it in any longer and could only breathe lightly, trying to keep the breathing sound as low as possible.

The man paused in his rummaging.

I don't know if I discovered something...

Bai Ying widened her eyes, covered her mouth and nose with one hand, and quietly pointed the muzzle of the gun in her hand forward with the other hand.

If the man discovered her, she would have no choice but to get rid of him in order to protect herself.

The man paused for only a second, as if he hadn't found anything useful here, so he turned around and wanted to look somewhere else.

Bai Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, everything in front of my eyes suddenly went dark.

The man actually slipped under the desk while she was off guard!

I don't know if he guessed that she might have a weapon for self-defense, but he raised his toes and knocked the gun out of Bai Ying's hand.

clatter--

The pistol fell to the side.

Bai Ying's pupils trembled. Everything happened too suddenly. Before she could even recover, her body had already reacted and she pounced towards the other party, trying to pick up the gun.
