Qi Zecheng looked at Ye Zhanying and then at Xie Zhiyan, stamping his foot in frustration, before finally deciding to run after them.
The two had only run halfway when Xie Zhiyan suddenly spoke, stopping them in a completely calm tone.
"Come back, everyone."
Ye Zhanying and Qi Zecheng paused for a moment with puzzled expressions, turned to look at Xie Zhiyan, and then continued walking with unease.
Xie Zhiyan spoke again.
"return."
Xie Zhiyan called them back twice, and the two of them had no choice but to run back anxiously, questioning Xie Zhiyan.
"What time is it? Why aren't you letting us go to rescue her? Xie Zhiyan, what are you thinking?! That's your wife! Aren't you worried at all?!"
Ye Zhanying was so concerned that she didn't notice anything amiss.
"I can't stop you anymore, no matter how you try to stop me, I have to go and save them!"
Qi Zecheng was the first to realize that Xie Zhiyan's reaction was wrong. After a moment's thought, he understood what was going on, pulled Ye Zhanying back, and whispered something in her ear.
Ye Zhanying was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then gradually calmed down and blinked as if to confirm Qi Zecheng's suspicions.
Qi Zecheng gave him a reassuring look.
"When have you ever seen Xie Zhiyan so indifferent to Shu Ying's affairs? Especially such a life-or-death matter?"
Ye Zhanying calmed down completely.
That seems to be true.
In the past, whenever Shu Ying needed anything, Xie Zhiyan was always the first to rush to her aid...
So...
Ye Zhanying turned her head curiously to look at Xie Zhiyan and Wu Zhengyi.
Wu Zhengyi didn't hear what Ye Zhanying and the other person were whispering about at all; he only saw them being called back by Xie Zhiyan.
Wu Zhengyi laughed smugly.
"Xie Zhiyan, you called them both back. You don't think I'm just trying to scare you, do you?"
"I told you you were stupid, and it turns out you really are a fool. You're way too confident."
"When your wife is blown to pieces, with her arms and legs flying everywhere in the sky, you'll know if I'm telling the truth, hahaha!"
"Aren't you famously devoted to your wife? I'll make sure you have nowhere to cry then. I'll watch you writhe in agony, until you're spitting blood!"
After Wu Zhengyi finished speaking in what he thought was a satisfying way, he looked up and saw that Xie Zhiyan's emotions remained completely unchanged as he calmly looked at him.
Wu Zhengyi's brow twitched, and he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
"you……"
Before he could even open his mouth, Xie Zhiyan suddenly raised his hand and punched him squarely in the face without hesitation.
The force was so great that Wu Zhengyi vaguely heard a "crack" sound, almost like something breaking.
Immediately afterwards, intense pain spread rapidly.
Wu Zhengyi's face contorted in pain, and blood gushed from his nose, dripping onto his clothes and quickly spreading into a crimson stain.
Unfortunately, Wu Zhengyi's hands were already tied behind his back. He was in pain and angry, staring with bloodshot eyes.
"Xie Zhiyan, have you gone mad?!"
"You still have the energy to speak?"
Xie Zhiyan delivered two more punches, both landing squarely on the center of his abdomen, the most painful spot.
Wu Zhengyi broke out in a cold sweat instantly, and his whole body hunched over as if he had been thrown into hot water, writhing on the ground in pain.
Qi Zecheng and Ye Zhanying then seized the opportunity to come forward and asked in low voices.
"What on earth is going on? That bomb..."
Xie Zhiyan glanced at the two of them expressionlessly.
"He treats us like fools, and you all really treat us like fools?"
"If you knew there were enemy agents in the factory, why didn't you check properly before getting on the vehicle?"
Qi Zecheng and Ye Zhanying suddenly realized what was happening, and one of them touched his temple and the other touched his nose, feeling a little guilty.
"So you discovered the bomb in the car a while ago and already defused it?"
Qi Zecheng asked.
Xie Zhiyan glanced at him silently.
Qi Zecheng quickly slapped himself in the face.
"I was being nosy; wasn't that a pointless question?"
Ye Zhanying came to her senses, thought about it for a moment and felt something was wrong. She frowned, put her hands on her hips and looked at Xie Zhiyan.
"I'm not saying this to be mean, Xie Zhiyan, but you're really good at keeping secrets! This concerns Shuying's safety. How could you not tell us about something this big?"
"Is she your wife or mine?"
Qi Zecheng chimed in weakly, "I feel like she's more like your wife."
Ye Zhanying immediately glared at him.
Qi Zecheng immediately surrendered.
Jiang Yunzhou, who had just been dragged back by Qi Zecheng, breathed a heavy sigh of relief, but his pale face from the fright had not yet recovered.
Ye Zhanying continued to press the matter relentlessly.
"Next time something like this happens, you have to tell us right away, okay? So we can be on guard!"
Qi Zecheng pursed his lips and muttered a complaint under his breath.
"If I really told you, what would happen? You'd probably eat people alive, and all your plans would be ruined in your panic."
Ye Zhanying could no longer tolerate it.
"Qi Zecheng, why do you keep undermining me?!"
She raised her fist: "Do you believe me or not...?"
Qi Zecheng was startled and was about to advise him to talk things out when he saw Ye Zhengying's fist suddenly change direction and land directly on Wu Zhengyi's face.
Ye Zhanying gritted her teeth and rained punches on him.
"You bastard, you wicked enemy spy! Of all the things you could do, why did you plant a bomb under Shuying's car? Luckily she's alright today, otherwise I would have beaten you to a pulp!"
Wu Zhengyi was beaten until his mouth was crooked and his eyes were slanted. His face was covered with large bruises, and blood kept flowing from his nose. His eyes were also swollen, leaving only a slit.
He peered through the crack at Ye Zhanying's extremely angry expression and was utterly bewildered.
Is that woman Xie Zhiyan's wife or Ye Zhanying's wife? She's still a young woman... why does she seem angrier than her real husband, Xie Zhiyan?
Wu Zhengyi was both frustrated and angry. Even after Ye Zhanying got tired and stopped, he still couldn't believe that he had actually failed.
His chest heaved violently with anger as he shouted loudly.
"Impossible! I planted the bomb so well, how could you have found it!"
"Why don't you die? People like you should die! If you don't die, who will be buried with my family!"
Qi Zecheng clicked his tongue in disapproval.
"This person is starting to talk nonsense."
Xie Zhiyan waved his hand coldly, and Qi Zecheng and Ye Zhanying immediately obeyed and escorted the person out.
Jiang Yunzhou was finally able to put his mind at ease.
With Qi Zecheng and Ye Zhanying escorting the person away, there shouldn't be any more problems.
Shu Ying should be safe now.
In those short ten minutes, Jiang Yunzhou's mood fluctuated wildly, and his heart was still beating very fast.
He had just thought that something had really happened to Shu Ying. For a moment, he even wanted to rush over and die in Shu Ying's place.
Unfortunately, my emotions were too turbulent, and I almost couldn't run out because my hands and feet went weak.
Unexpectedly, Xie Zhiyan had already noticed and defused the bomb...
