Chapter 42
"Captain Xiao, what's going on?" Shi Qian's voice came again. Xiao Yuncheng gritted his teeth. They were prying the door!
"Xiao Yuncheng!" Lin Chen's voice also rang out. Xiao Yuncheng finally found time to respond: "Wu Tong and the others are trapped in the factory. Have the rescue team opened the gate?"
"No, that gate is incredibly strong. I've been trying to open it for nearly half an hour and it won't open." Lin Chen complained. He was already rushing towards the factory, but it just took time. He raised his hand to change the channel and asked, "Lin Chen here, how are things going over there?"
As soon as Lin Chen finished speaking, bang! A huge gunshot suddenly exploded around him. Xiao Yuncheng was sure that it was from the other side of the door. They seemed to be trying to pry it open with a gun.
"Can you hear me? I'm Xiao Yuncheng, hello?..."
"team leader······"
Xiao Yuncheng heard the response and immediately said, "Are you shooting at the door now? Keep trying! The door has cracked a little..."
"Captain, Consultant Wu has returned to the factory."
"What did you say?..." Xiao Yuncheng's words were firmly blocked.
Wu Tong jumped down from the stairs and landed lightly. Now they were prying the door of the ventilation duct. Wu Tong planned to find the bomb that kept exploding. He was sure that there was surveillance here and Xu Ze must be watching him. Thinking of this, Wu Tong raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Come on, let me see what you want to do."
Wu Tong closed his eyes, and the entire image of the factory gradually emerged in his mind like a model. Now Wu Tong was standing in the center of the factory. According to his memory and judgment, Xu Ze might have placed the bomb on the stairs on the left, because it could not be seen from the bottom up, and it was very suitable for hiding things.
Wu Tong jumped over there nimbly. He did not ask the policemen for a flashlight. Now he could only rely on touch and hearing. Wu Tong listened carefully to the sound and determined the location by sound. He determined that the bomb was on his right side, but now there was a problem: he could not see what the bomb looked like. If he touched it rashly, he might accidentally touch it, and then no one in the factory would survive.
Wu Tong was a little overwhelmed. He should have asked them for a flashlight earlier.
Bang----
The second shot rang out, and Wu Tong turned around and looked behind him, wondering why the second shot was fired so late. Then, a noisy voice came from the distance. Were they...going out?
Wu Tong ignored them and continued to study the bomb with his head down. However, the bomb seemed to have sensed something and the sound began to become rapid. Oh no!
Wu Tong turned around and jumped down the stairs immediately. This sound simply told them: it was going to explode.
Wu Tong thought they might have opened the door, so he ran towards the ventilation duct. But just as he reached the duct entrance, there was a loud bang, and an iron door suddenly dropped right in front of his nose - Wu Tong was locked in the factory.
Wu Tong: “······” So it was directed at me?
Wu Tong took out his gun without hesitation and shot at the crack in the door, but the terrifying thing was that the door was intact, not even the skin was broken. Wu Tong touched it and found it was a bulletproof door.
Wu Tong was speechless. The magazine of the gun in his hand was empty. Wu Tong threw the gun away casually. He couldn't help but think of his past self, who was also locked in the factory. Chen Xiuping forgot about him here in order to escape. It can't be said that he forgot about him, it was just that he simply didn't want to save him. But he escaped from this ventilation duct at that time, so he came in so quickly just now, but now...
Maybe I will really die here... Wu Tong raised his head in despair.
Why? Why, despite all my efforts, can't I escape? For the second time, Wu Tong was trapped here. He raised his lips, but tears were already streaming down his cheeks.
Xiao Yuncheng is still waiting for him outside, but he is already beyond saving, right? Go quickly, Wu Tong thought, after I die, just live a good life and forget me...
"Forget me." Wu Tong murmured.
"Try saying something this stupid again!"
A familiar voice came from above his head. Wu Tong could even quickly match the face of the owner of the voice. Wu Tong opened his eyes and looked up to see Xiao Yuncheng hanging from a rope and falling from the sky.
Wu Tong was stunned for a moment. When Xiao Yuncheng fell, he was wrapped in clear moonlight and landed in front of him like an angel descending to earth.
The gods signed the agreement. That was the only word Wu Tong could think of.
But this "angel" looked a bit fierce. Xiao Yuncheng hugged Wu Tong tightly, and his usually majestic voice was shaking. Xiao Yuncheng called Wu Tong's name softly. Wu Tong was stunned for a long time before raising his hands and hugging Xiao Yuncheng. All his defenses were removed, and Wu Tong replied softly: "I'm here."
Xiao Yuncheng hugged her tighter: "You know you're here! I almost... I almost couldn't save you."
"It's okay." Wu Tong took a step back and left his embrace. He placed his hand on Xiao Yuncheng's forearm, a gesture he used to use to comfort Xiao Yuncheng. Wu Tong said, "Let's go."
While hugging Wu Tong, Xiao Yuncheng fastened the rope to Wu Tong. Xiao Yuncheng held Wu Tong's hand, and the two people's feet gradually left the ground and their bodies continued to rise.
“It’s coming out!”
"Come on, come on, slow down..."
"Can anyone come and help? Consultant Wu's rope is stuck!..."
Everyone worked together to pull the two people out. Fortunately, no one was injured and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. The sound of the bomb stopped at some point, and everyone was still a little worried that it would continue to explode, so they quickly took the people away.
On the way, Wu Tong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Shi Qian couldn't stop scolding, and Lin Chen was so scared that his heart almost fainted. The car was noisy. Shi Qian turned around and said to Wu Tong in the middle of scolding: "You are so reckless! What are you thinking? What if something happens?! You really are..."
Wu Tong just smiled without saying anything. Xiao Yuncheng turned around and looked at Wu Tong. Seeing that Wu Tong was smiling happily, he couldn't help but ask him, "What about you? What were you thinking at that time?"
Wu Tong turned around and met Xiao Yuncheng's gaze, his smile still lingering as he said, "I'm thinking of you."
"You're lying," Xiao Yuncheng retorted calmly, "You thought I'd push you so hard?"
Really, when I thought I was going to die, I was really thinking of you, Wu Tong thought.
The car drove out, its bright headlights cutting through the darkness, and drove into the distance on the quiet road. The moon in the sky was missing half of its shape, like a white blade.
After returning home, Xiao Yuncheng urged Wu Tong to wash up. Wu Tong did not object and walked into the bathroom. He closed the door and looked at himself in the mirror. He couldn't help but laugh. Why did he think of those things at that time?
Wu Tong raised his hand and pressed the shower head. The water flowed down Wu Tong's face, and his whole body was wet in an instant. Wu Tong lifted the wet hair stuck to his cheeks and lowered his eyes.
"It's okay. Well, you guys should go to bed early too." Xiao Yuncheng put the phone to his ear and spoke to the other end. After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yuncheng lay on the bed tiredly, thinking about everything that happened tonight, his heart still beating.
Inside a certain office, the sound of a slap echoed. The man in black was knocked to the ground. Before he could react, Xu Ze kicked him back. Xu Ze pulled up his clothes and roared, "Who told you to lock the door?! Can't you see Wu Tong is in there?!"
The man in black didn't dare to speak. Xu Ze was so angry that he threw him out and put a hand on his forehead: "I asked you to kill Xiao Yuncheng, but you let the person who deserved the most death stay in there."
It's really more of a hindrance than a help.
When Xu Ze discovered it, Wu Tong had already found the location of the bomb. As long as Wu Tong dared to touch the bomb, he would be blown to pieces. Xu Ze was so scared that he was stunned. He then pulled out the man in black who controlled the door switch and beat him up.
Xu Ze sat back in his chair, still unable to calm down. He didn't dare to think about how sorry he would be if Wu Tong died in that factory. He wanted Wu Tong to be alive the most, and in his opinion, he wanted him to be alive more than anyone else.
Xu Ze lit a cigarette silently, took a puff with a gloomy face, and slowly exhaled the smoke from his mouth. The smoke hid his face. Xu Ze then said: "Do you think I can still ask you to do something?"
"Boss, I was wrong, I was really wrong..." The man in black immediately sat up, crawled to Xu Ze's feet, and tried to defend himself: "I didn't mean to hurt that person. At that time, I didn't know you were going to protect someone, it was...it was another person who asked me to close the door!"
"Who?" Xu Ze glanced at the man in black who was kneeling at his feet. The cold aura made the man in black dare not speak. He hesitated for a while before saying, "It was the person in charge of the other gate. He asked me to close it."
Xu Ze frowned after hearing this and looked at the man in black on the ground. He recalled who was in charge of the other gate at that time. Seeing that Xu Ze seemed to be in a better mood than at the beginning, the man in black bravely said, "That person is... the one you brought back from the bar, Boss."
Bar? Xu Ze remembered that after meeting Wu Tong, he went to the back of the bar to smoke, but he saw a young man rushing out from the back door and falling at Xu Ze's feet. At that time, Xu Ze kicked the unconscious boy at his feet in confusion: "Hey, who are you?"
The boy seemed to have really fainted and had no response. Xu Ze brought him back with the mentality of picking up a tool to go back to work. The boy was also very obedient and did what Xu Ze said. He never complained or resisted his words, so Xu Ze had a good impression of him.
But the boy was there when he gave the instructions, so why did he ask this person to close the door? Xu Ze was a little puzzled.
"Call him over." Xu Ze put out the half-smoked cigarette in the ashtray.
Wu Tong came out of the shower and didn't see Xiao Yuncheng. She thought he had fallen asleep. Just as she was about to go to the next room to get the painting she had just drawn, she was pulled back by a hand in the master bedroom. Wu Tong lost her balance and almost fell. Fortunately, the hand was very strong and tightly hooked Wu Tong's waist, holding her in his arms. Wu Tong opened her eyes and met Xiao Yuncheng's eyes filled with smiles: "What are you doing?"
"See if my little painter is going to rebel." Xiao Yuncheng replied with a smile.
"Why should I rebel?" Wu Tong looked at Xiao Yuncheng in confusion, not quite understanding what he meant.
Xiao Yuncheng raised his chin, pointed at the opposite room and said, "Don't you want to sleep with your husband anymore?"
Wu Tong then realized that he was referring to when he wanted to go into the second bedroom. He chuckled and gently tapped Xiao Yuncheng's forehead with his finger: "What are you thinking about? I'm just going to get my painting."
