75
Eighteenth floor...
Huo Si'an's bodyguard has returned. Fourth Master told him to go downstairs to pick someone up. He waited downstairs for a long time but did not see the person Fourth Master mentioned.
Hearing that there was a fire on the top floor, he rushed back.
Looking at the empty corridor, I couldn't help but wonder, why haven't my colleagues returned yet?
I went up and knocked on the door, but there was no response.
Fearing something might have happened, he opened the door and went inside to check.
Huo Si'an and his mistress were lying in the bathtub, their faces turning an unnatural dark purple.
Huo Si'an's bodyguard was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he trembled as he called Huo Er Ye's assistant.
When his assistant didn't answer the phone, he called Huo Er Ye's bodyguard.
"Is Second Master here?"
The bodyguard glanced at Master Huo, then at the broken glass hole, and said, "Here."
"Has something happened to Fourth Master?"
As soon as Master Huo turned his head, the bodyguard immediately handed him the phone.
"What happened?"
The bodyguard tensed up at the sound of the authoritative voice and swallowed hard. “Fourth Master asked me to go downstairs to pick up Miss An’s sister. I went downstairs but didn’t see her. When I came back, I found Fourth Master and Miss An unconscious in the bathtub.”
Master Huo thought Huo Si'an was too old and had fainted while taking a bath, so he said, "Take him to the hospital."
The bodyguard opened his mouth, suppressing his fear, and continued, "Fourth Master's face is blackish-purple, and he's not breathing."
Jian Yu and Huo Tingzhen exchanged a glance, relieved that they hadn't gone inside.
"..." Huo Er Ye's eyes blazed with fury. Very well!
Someone tried to push him off the building, but by a twist of fate, they pushed the assistant instead.
Someone over there killed his younger brother.
Huo Tingzhen really underestimated you.
When will Huo Qizhen arrive?
"There are about seven or eight hours left."
Master Huo stared intently at the broken glass hole, but his words were icy cold: "When the person arrives, send them to Fourth Brother's base."
The base is where Huo Si'an raises his wolfhounds; this is going to kill Huo Qizhen.
"What should I say if the master asks?"
Second Master Huo didn't seem to care. "Then let's see if Huo An's favorite son is Huo Yunzhen. He'd do anything for Huo Yunzhen. He's already entrusted his domestic assets to Huo Yunzhen for management, but he's been keeping it a secret from his sister-in-law, constantly making things difficult for Huo Qizhen. If Huo Qizhen hadn't noticed something was wrong, why would he have decided to return to China to invest? What a pity..."
Master Huo didn't continue speaking after that.
Huo Tingzhen sat in the car seat, trembling with anger.
I can't believe it was really my father who did it.
Inside the enclosed train carriage, the computer and mobile phone emitted urgent notification sounds.
Jian Yu glanced to the side, his pupils almost bulging out of their sockets with tension.
Huo Tingzhen pointed at the computer screen and asked, "What's going on?"
"Honan hired someone to crack my code."
What happens if the code is broken?
“Our true location can no longer be hidden, and even the surveillance footage I processed can be restored.”
That means Huo Nan will be here soon.
Huo Nan would never have let them go in the first place, and now that Huo Si'an is dead, Huo Nan will only be more ruthless.
Even if they showed Huo Nan the surveillance footage from the 18th floor, Huo Nan would only grab the waiter and feed him to the wolfhounds.
"Ding ding ding---"
The computer webcam automatically connected, revealing Huo Nan's arrogant and overbearing face.
"You two have been on my radar for ages!"
"It's alright, we'll meet soon, and I'll treat you both well."
Huo Nan scraped the blade with his thumb. "I already know about my father. I'll make you regret ever being born."
Huo Tingzhen, her face tense, tried to turn off the video, but couldn't.
"Heh---" Huo Nan laughed mockingly, "Your brother will be joining you soon."
Huo Tingzhen yelled and slammed the computer hard onto the control panel, causing many black lines to appear on the screen.
The face was no longer visible, but the voice continued to come.
Jian Yu reached out and typed a code on the keyboard, then the computer shut down.
Huo Tingzhen had just breathed a sigh of relief when the screen lit up again.
The expert the other party hired helped him turn the computer back on.
Huo Tingzhen opened the car window, reached out and threw the computer out the window. The computer landed and shattered into pieces, and was then run over by the vehicles behind, becoming completely broken.
Just as Huo Tingzhen was about to throw Jian Yu's phone out the window, Jian Yu suddenly made a sharp turn. Huo Tingzhen swayed her body and quickly grabbed the handle. The phone slipped from her hand and fell under the car seat. Just as she was about to pick it up, she noticed that a car was following them closely.
"This is......"
Jian Yu glanced at the rearview mirror. "It's the Huo family. As soon as their location was hacked, a car started chasing us. They must be Huo family members nearby."
"It's all my fault, I failed to capture the hostage."
Give me your phone.
Huo Tingzhen picked up the phone, and Jian Yu took it from him, simply bringing up the map on the phone.
They had no destination, only heading towards remote places.
"Heh...where do you think you're going? Based on your location, there are already more than a dozen cars heading there. You're just waiting to be caught like turtles in a jar, aren't you?"
"Your name is Jian Yu, right? I can't wait to feed you to Dahuang."
Every time Huo Nan spoke, Jian Yu felt a chill run down his spine.
How did she end up getting involved with this jinx?
Having barely escaped death less than six months ago, he is about to lose it in an even more tragic way.
Jian Yu didn't even know how to describe her luck.
"sorry!"
Huo Tingzhen wiped her eyes and looked at Jian Yu sincerely, "I shouldn't have dragged you into this."
Jian Yu avoided Huo Tingzhen's gaze and focused on driving.
While driving through a dense thicket, Jian Yu suddenly stopped the car and, without saying a word, pushed Huo Tingzhen out of the car.
Huo Tingzhen was a little dumbfounded. She got up from the ground, and Jian Yu threw her a storage bag the size of her palm.
Then he stepped on the gas and drove off quickly.
Huo Tingzhen chased after them for a few steps, then noticed lights flashing in the distance. Without hesitation, he jumped into the nearby bushes.
In less than half a minute, seven or eight cars sped past.
Huo Tingzhen covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes. After a moment, she opened the storage bag.
Inside were three bundles of cash, her watch, and a basic mobile phone. The phone contained a SIM card, but she didn't recognize the owner's name.
Huo Tingzhen could no longer hold back and strode forward to chase after him.
Jian Yu stared at Huo Nan's location on his phone and floored the accelerator.
Huo Nan watched the two dots on the screen getting closer and closer, thinking that they were about to catch up with Jian Yu's car, and shouted excitedly.
"hurry up!"
However, the person who helped him track his location felt that something was amiss.
Was it not the employer's car that was chasing after Jian Yu?
No matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was Jian Yu's car rushing towards Huo Nan.
Never mind, his job is just to collect the money and find a location.
The rest is none of his business.
After a few more minutes, once the two sides meet, he can turn off his computer and play with his girlfriend.
Jian Yu gripped the steering wheel tightly, slowly closed her eyes, and a tear rolled down her cheek.
Since we're going to die, we might as well take someone down with us.
Seconds later, with a loud bang, flames shot into the sky.
Hearing a loud bang in the distance and a burst of fire in the night sky, Huo Tingzhen's legs went weak and he fell heavily to the ground.
Ignoring whether the car chasing her was an enemy, she scrambled to her feet, shouting Jian Yu's name, and ran in the direction of the sound.
The car stopped beside her, and a slightly disheveled man got out, put his arm around her shoulder, shoved her into the car, turned around, and drove her away.
