Chapter 439 Visiting at Dawn
"Little girl, who do you think you are? This is none of your business to give orders..." someone shouted from the side.
"Regardless of whether what she says is true or false, I can't gamble with your lives!" With time running out, the armed police captain didn't hesitate. He made a decisive move, grabbed a megaphone, and shouted, "Bomb disposal experts! Everyone! Evacuate immediately!"
The venue owner responded quickly.
"Only twenty seconds left, everyone evacuate!" The bomb disposal expert took one last look at the bomb countdown, grabbed his toolbox, and without looking back, ran out of the factory!
Wen Ni and Lu Jinye quickly got into the car and sped away.
Just a few seconds after everyone had evacuated the factory area!
First, a blinding circle of light exploded from the basement and spread outwards, followed by towering flames!
At the same time, a violent explosion came from underground throughout the factory and quickly spread to the area above!
"Boom!!"
All buildings on the ground collapsed on the spot.
The resulting dust and smoke covered an area of several miles!
"Look at that magnificent fireworks display!"
"Beautiful, absolutely stunning!"
A desolate suburb
The man in bright red pajamas leaned against the helicopter door, gazing at the distant, towering flames, and exclaimed in admiration!
With his long, slender fingers, he gently placed them on the mask and slowly removed it.
With a slight upturn of his thin lips, he said with great interest, "Wen Ni, I'm already looking forward to our next meeting!"
"...Sir, how long will we be staying in the country this time?" Ye Zhishu, carrying a medical kit, stood behind him, her bright red dress fluttering in the cold wind. Hearing the man's words, her hands slowly tightened, and a trace of blood seeped from her tightly bitten lips.
"Why are you asking this? What? Are you in a hurry to go back to Burma?" The Godfather glanced sideways.
No...no.
Ye Zhishu quickly lowered his head, trying to explain in a flustered manner.
“I’m worried that General Dawa will be pressing us too hard. After all, the new government has just been established and there are many things that require manpower. If we delay our return and upset General Dawa…”
"Ye Zhishu".
The godfather's somber tone silenced her.
He suddenly turned around, his hand already gripping Ye Zhishu's neck tightly. The intense pressure made her eyes widen in terror, but she was too scared to utter a single word!
The first-aid kit fell over, and the medicine boxes were scattered all over the floor.
"Ye Zhishu, you're such a good dog of Dawa. If you're so concerned about him, why don't you go back and work for him? Why bother following me?"
"No, that's not what I meant, sir! I misspoke!" Ye Zhishu shook his head desperately, his voice trembling. "I'm your man, sir! I only work for you! Please, don't send me away!"
Upon hearing this
The godfather abruptly pulled his hand away, and Ye Zhishu's legs went weak, causing him to collapse to the ground, breathing heavily.
"I'm surrounded by nothing but stupid things."
"All of them combined can't compare to Wen Ni!"
After he finished cursing, he turned and left.
Liu Yezhi sat alone on the ground, trembling uncontrollably!
"Why……"
"Why is it that no matter where we go, everyone only has eyes for Wen Ni? Teacher Cheng is like that, and now even the master is like that!? Why do you all have to compare her to me? She doesn't deserve it! She doesn't deserve it!"
A suppressed roar echoed across the wilderness!
The only response she received was the howling wind.
Thick smoke billowed in the distance, and the flames, like the hatred in people's hearts, burned ever more fiercely!
The sounds of fire engines and sirens echoed almost throughout half the city...
Two o'clock in the morning.
Xilaifeng Luxury Hotel in the city center.
The door to a private room opened from the inside, and several drunken men staggered out.
They greeted each other warmly and then went their separate ways.
Caesar Perth was among them.
He had drunk quite a bit and suddenly felt hot. He simply unbuttoned his shirt collar with one hand and walked unsteadily toward the hotel lobby. The smell of alcohol made his eyes blurry, and he had to raise one arm to support himself against the wall to barely keep his balance.
A person was coming from the opposite direction and bumped into him!
"I'm sorry," the woman said calmly.
"fine."
Caesar Perth leaned against the wall, not even lifting his head.
"Wait, are you Mr. Perth?" The girl's tone was slightly surprised, and then she stretched out an arm to block his way. "Why are you here alone so late?"
"Hmm? You are, Miss Wen Ni?" Caesar Perth rubbed his eyes, forcing himself to see the person in front of him clearly, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. "Isn't today Chinese New Year's Eve? I invited a few friends out to have some fun. But Miss Wen Ni, what are you doing here? Didn't you go home?"
"Ah~ I'm here to visit a friend too." Wen Ni said briefly, her gaze subtly scanning him from head to toe.
He was a typical European—tall, with medium-length hair and eyes that subtly revealed a hint of blue. These features were almost identical to those of the Godfather Iplis!
Of course, this doesn't rule out the possibility that Europeans are physically robust and generally prefer this style of dress.
"Friend? You're out on a date with your boyfriend, right? The one you brought to the bathhouse earlier!" Caesar Perth smiled knowingly, his body reeking of alcohol, indicating he had indeed drunk quite a bit.
"You've had too much to drink." Wen Ni didn't respond directly, still blocking his way. "Shall we drive you home?"
"No, I'd better not disturb your and your boyfriend's private space~" Caesar Perth leaned against the wall with one hand and waved his hand dejectedly. "I'll ask the hotel reception to call a designated driver for me later!"
"The person who came with me today... isn't my boyfriend." Wen Ni paused slightly, feeling a little guilty, and continued, "He's just a close friend."
“That’s right, we’re all friends, no need to be so polite.” Lu Jinye, who had been waiting at the door, walked over and took Caesar Perth’s arm in a way that left no room for refusal, while giving Wen Ni a meaningful glance!
He hadn't expected this trip to yield such an unexpected gain.
When did this little liar ever go out with any other boyfriend besides him? And they even went to a bathhouse in Caesar Perth together!?
"..."
Wen Ni turned her face away, avoiding someone's gaze, and rubbed her nose guiltily again.
“However, Miss Wen Ni, why does your friend look so familiar?” Caesar Perth, still slightly drunk, raised his eyelids again, looking somewhat troubled.
"I have an average face."
Lu Jinye coldly said something, then roughly shoved Caesar Perth into the back of the car.
“Brother, there aren’t many people in the public eye who can match your looks…” Caesar Perth was thrown into a seat, babbling incoherently, but still somewhat identifiable.
Lu Jinye ignored him, closed the car door, opened the passenger door, and then turned around to wink at Wen Ni!
Wen Ni immediately understood.
He took out his phone and saw a message that Xi Yun had sent a few minutes earlier.
[Surveillance footage shows that Caesar Perth was indeed having dinner with friends between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. and did not leave!]
Looking at these three lines of text, Wen Ni frowned.
Another flawless alibi!
She put away her phone, lost in thought, and got into the passenger seat.
After giving his address, Caesar Perth collapsed in the back seat, fast asleep and snoring loudly.
The car drove along and soon arrived at the villa area in the city center.
"Thank you so much for your help today!" Caesar Perth, slightly more sober, pressed the keypad to open the door, his eyes still hazy with drunkenness. "Would you like to come in and sit down?"
"Alright! I can't refuse such hospitality!"
Wen Ni readily agreed.
She turned around and led Lu Jinye inside without any hesitation!
"Hmm..." Caesar Perth was still standing at the door, rubbing his aching forehead, and muttered, "Actually, is it possible... I was just being polite to you?"
After all, who goes to someone else's house at two or three in the morning?
He shook his head helplessly and closed the door.
Outside the fence on the street side, several black cars were parked silently, secretly observing their movements.
