Chapter 148: The Mantis Catches the Cicada
Everyone present had a changed expression, their eyes filled with fear and alarm.
Having achieved his goal, Shen Jianming sneered, "Shen Tian, transfer all your money to me, otherwise I will let everyone present be buried with you!"
Before Shen Tian could speak, Chi Muzhen spoke first, "Do you know that once the bomb countdown starts, it can't be paused?"
Unless the explosives are defused, it will explode as soon as the countdown ends.
According to Shen Jianming's current ability, he probably doesn't have the money to buy such a bomb, and it is impossible to obtain such a bomb easily without any channels.
There was no trace of fear in Shen Jianming's eyes. He said coldly, "If we can't pause, we'll die together!"
Chi Muzhen frowned, feeling that Shen Jianming's mood did not seem like the kind of one that was ready to risk everything.
Before she could figure it out, she suddenly saw a tall figure walking in from the door of the hall.
She turned her head and saw that it was Huo Yunting, her eyes full of shock.
"Huo Yunting, Shen Jianming has a bomb on him, leave immediately!"
Shen Jianming behind him was also startled by the person who suddenly came in. When he saw that it was Huo Yunting, he looked incredulous.
Before the Shen family went bankrupt, they had cooperated with the Huo family, so Shen Jianming knew Huo Yunting.
"Mr. Huo, what are you doing here?!"
Huo Yunting looked at him coldly and said word by word, "You've kidnapped my wife, what do you think I'm doing here?!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone around except Shen Tian was shocked.
After all, the fact that Huo Yunting and Chi Muzhen were getting married was only known to a small circle of the upper class society and was not spread outside.
Chi Muzhen frowned. They had already divorced, so why did he say that?
But she had no time to think about these things at the moment. She frowned and looked at Huo Yunting and said, "The explosives on him are real. Leave now!"
The moment he saw Huo Yunting, Shen Jianming's legs went weak and his hands holding Chi Muzhen were shaking.
If he had known that Chi Muzhen was Huo Yunting's wife, he wouldn't have dared to come to MY to make trouble even if he had ten times the courage.
But now the arrow was on the string and had to be shot, so he could only bite the bullet and look at Huo Yunting.
“Boss Huo, if Chi Muzhen hadn’t interfered in my family affairs and made Chen Tian unwilling to care about my life or death, I wouldn’t have come here to cause trouble!”
Huo Yunting stared at him as if he were a dead man, "You call bringing a bomb to MY a troublemaker?"
"As long as Chen Tian is willing to transfer all the money to me, I can let Chi Muzhen go!"
Chi Muzhen was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly figured out what was wrong before.
If Shen Jianming came to MY with the determination to die, he would not ask Shen Tian for money.
"Shen Jianming, do you think the explosive pack on you is fake?"
Shen Jianming's body froze noticeably, and then he angrily said, "What nonsense are you talking about?! How could I possibly make a fake bomb to deceive people?"
Chi Muzhen smiled and said calmly: "The bomb on you is real. I guess the person behind you lied to you that it was fake. He asked you to bring this bomb to MY and pretend to blow up MY so that Shen Tian would give you all the money."
"Impossible! Don't exaggerate here! He can't possibly lie to me!"
There was already a hint of uncertainty in Shen Jianming's tone.
"I called the police before I came down here. If you don't believe me, when the bomb disposal experts come over, you'll know I wasn't lying."
Shen Jianming was obviously frightened by Chi Muzhen's words and was stunned for a moment.
Soon, he regained his composure.
"Impossible, you must be lying to me!"
"Why would I lie to you? Right now we're tied to the same rope. If the dynamite explodes, we'll all die here."
Shen Jianming's eyes were full of panic, and the countdown sound on his chest was extremely harsh at this moment.
Shen Jianzhou told him that the explosives were fake, but what if they were real...
"Why should I believe you?!"
Chi Muzhen looked indifferent, "If you don't believe it, forget it."
Now Shen Jianming was really panicked. He just wanted to ask Shen Tian for money and didn't want to risk his life.
Huo Yunting's eyes were filled with coldness. "There are only twenty minutes left before the explosives explode. Even if the bomb disposal experts arrive now, it's too late."
"What should I do then... Am I really going to die here today?"
A hint of hatred flashed in Shen Jianming's eyes, and he said coldly: "Even if I die, I will drag you down with me!"
Chi Muzhen lowered his eyes, thought for a few seconds, and then said, "I have learned bomb disposal."
Shen Jianming's eyes were full of suspicion, "How do I know if you are planning to kill me?"
Chi Muzhen rolled her eyes. With that IQ, no wonder the company went bankrupt.
"Can I be there when I defuse the bomb for you? If it explodes, I'll die with you."
Shen Jianming swallowed and didn't speak for a while.
Chi Muzhen was a little impatient and said coldly: "Are you going to tear it down or not? If not, when the time comes, everyone here will die."
"Okay, I agree to let you defuse the bomb."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold voice rang out.
"Chi Muzhen, let me help you."
Chi Muzhen frowned, turned to look at Huo Yunting and said impatiently: "Don't come over and make trouble!"
It is very dangerous to defuse a bomb. If anything goes wrong, the bomb will explode immediately. She can take the risk alone and does not want to involve Huo Yunting.
Huo Yunting didn't say anything, but walked straight to her.
"Don't be afraid, I will be with you no matter what."
Chi Muzhen looked at him coldly, without a trace of warmth in her eyes. "I don't need you to accompany me, leave now!"
"I also know a little bit about bomb disposal, so I can help you here."
"No, I can do it on my own."
"Chi Muzhen, there are only seventeen minutes left in the countdown. Are you sure you want to keep wasting time talking nonsense like asking me to leave?"
Chi Muzhen was silent for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and said, "You came up here on your own, and you will bear the consequences at your own risk."
Someone brought a pair of scissors, and everyone left the scene except Shen Jianming, her, and Huo Yunting. The entire hall was so quiet that only the sound of the bomb countdown could be heard.
Shen Jianming was so frightened that his legs went weak. Seeing the serious expressions of Chi Muzhen and Huo Yunting, he finally believed that the bomb was real.
Every countdown sound was like a death warrant, pushing his emotions to the brink of collapse.
As time passed, Chi Muzhen's face was already covered with sweat.
The construction of this dynamite is not difficult, but it is very difficult to find the wire to cut because all the wires are the same color.
Chi Muzhen used the process of elimination to eliminate several threads, but there were still two left and there was no time to eliminate them.
Seeing Chi Muzhen holding the scissors and not taking any action, Shen Jianming was trembling with fear.
"Can you do it?"
"Shut up!"
Chi Muzhen took a deep breath, turned to look at Huo Yunting and said, "Stay away for now. I'm going to cut the string."
Seeing the uncertainty in her eyes, Huo Yunting nodded and said, "Okay."
After Huo Yunting walked more than ten meters away, Chi Muzhen slowly made up his mind and decided to take a gamble.
“Crack!”
One of the lines was cut.
