Chapter 41
Xiao Yuncheng listened to Shi Qian's voiceless cry in the earphones, and his body temperature dropped to freezing point instantly. Don't come, dear, don't come...
Xiao Yuncheng has realized the purpose of Xu Ze's doing this. He is atonement. He regrets abandoning Wu Tong. He regrets the beastly things he has done. Now, he is asking Wu Tong for forgiveness.
Wu Tong rushed to the factory regardless of being stopped. A group of people stood there in a daze. There were more than a dozen people here, and no one could stop him. Shi Qian suddenly came to his senses and roared, "What are you standing there for? Go chase him!"
Shi Qian had a terrible headache. These two people were really... a perfect match, both stubborn!
There was no other way, Shi Qian had to increase the number of rescuers. The first pair of rescue teams were ready to rush to the gate, and the other pair followed Wu Tong to avoid any accidents. It was really not easy to protect two people these days!
Lin Chen walked over and patted Shi Qian on the shoulder, telling him not to worry. Shi Qian couldn't help but sigh.
Wu Tong was surprisingly agile and arrived when the first rescue team arrived. Wu Tong did not let the rescuers see him. He knew that it would take a lot of time to break open the door, so Wu Tong had to find another way to save them.
This is how Xu Ze blew up Chen Xiuping's factory when he left, but as to why Chen Xiuping did not die, Wu Tong had a vague answer in his mind.
He took a detour to the factory's ventilation duct, and sure enough, it led directly to the inside of the factory. Wu Tong went in without hesitation. It took only ten minutes for Wu Tong to get in.
Xiao Yuncheng keenly caught the movement behind him. He immediately turned around and raised his gun: "Who's there?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone raised their guns in the direction Xiao Yuncheng pointed. Xiao Yuncheng listened carefully to the man's movements, and it seemed... there was only one person?
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Xiao Yuncheng began to retreat. Seeing this, the others also moved back at the same speed. If this person dared to shoot, they would move away and let this person open the door for them. No one said anything, not even exchanged glances, but they all had the same idea in their minds.
Snap!
It's the sound of a bullet being loaded!
Xiao Yuncheng arched his back slightly, the muzzle of his gun pointed at the source of the sound, without moving an inch. Then, a voice that Xiao Yuncheng knew so well rang out: "Xiao Yuncheng, do you dare to shoot me?"
Xiao Yuncheng's brain suddenly exploded, and then he turned on the flashlight. Wu Tong's face appeared not far away without warning.
"You..." Xiao Yuncheng was really speechless now, but Wu Tong didn't chat any more. He directly said to the others: "Follow me, this door will not be opened for a while."
They hesitated whether to follow or not, and all looked at Xiao Yuncheng. Xiao Yuncheng's face turned pale, and in the end he said nothing and followed Wu Tong. The others followed without hesitation.
"There's a ventilation duct over here that takes you straight out." He grabbed Wu Tong and turned to look at Xiao Yuncheng: "Shall we report to them?"
Xiao Yuncheng finally came to his senses and pressed the headphones. Shi Qian's extremely loud voice came straight into Xiao Yuncheng's ears through the headphones: "Wu Tong went to see you!!!"
"I know, he is next to me now." Xiao Yuncheng said helplessly.
Shi Qian was silent for a second, then roared again: "Why did he go in again?! The rescue is opening the door!"
Xiao Yuncheng looked at Wu Tong and put the earphones to Wu Tong's ears. Wu Tong raised his hand to press the earphones and said, "What's wrong?"
"What else?! Why didn't you listen to me?! What if something happens to you?"
Wu Tong remained indifferent to Shi Qian's rage. He listened quietly to Shi Qian's words. When Shi Qian stopped, Wu Tong said, "I'm sorry."
"You..." Shi Qian was speechless. It was already impossible for them to let Wu Tong enter the factory within half an hour after leaving. Wu Tong's appearance might allow Xiao Yuncheng and the others to get out even faster.
Shi Qian sighed helplessly. Wu Tong knew that Shi Qian was also worried about him, so he tried to comfort Shi Qian: "I am familiar with the terrain here, so I remember there is a place where I can get out directly. Don't worry, I won't die. I can use a gun."
"You... you can use a gun?" Shi Qian was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Wu Tong explained, "When we were young, it was inevitable that we would encounter interceptions when transporting goods. We had to protect Chen Xiuping's goods from being intercepted..."
Wu Tong led them up the ventilation duct, holding onto the steps to help himself climb, and pulling Xiao Yuncheng with him. The moment Xiao Yuncheng shook his hand, Wu Tong finished what he hadn't finished saying: "We have to protect ourselves too."
Xiao Yuncheng looked at Wu Tong. The moonlight was unrestrained and rushed in, hitting Wu Tong's face, making him look soft and strong. Xiao Yuncheng was stunned for a moment. He felt that at this moment, he seemed to see the little Wu Tong who struggled to resist when he was a child. He was not like normal children who could laugh heartlessly. They always looked like they were ready to accept death at any time.
While other children are still playing in the mud, they are living under the bloody muzzles of guns.
Wu Tong didn't notice Xiao Yuncheng's gaze. He untied the iron pipe of the ventilation duct and said without turning his head, "Get out of here, one by one."
The beeping sound inside the factory continued, and one of the police officers couldn't help but ask, "Advisor Wu, do you know what that beeping thing is?"
Wu Tong turned around and replied, "Bomb."
Xiao Yuncheng's initial guess was correct. Wu Tong continued, "Xu Ze blew up Chen Xiuping's factory in the same way. Same place, same method."
Xiao Yuncheng lowered his eyes and saw the scar on Wu Tong's left wrist exposed. He reached out and pulled Wu Tong's sleeve down a little. Wu Tong looked at him in confusion, and then understood why he did that. Wu Tong said nothing, just smiled at Xiao Yuncheng, but they could both feel what was in each other's heart.
Bang!
The cup in Xu Ze's hand was thrown out by him, and it fell heavily to the ground with a loud noise. The man in black beside him didn't dare to speak, and could only stand beside him cautiously. Xu Ze took a few deep breaths before saying, "Don't blow it up, lock the person up."
Why are you always like this? Risking your life to save others? Xu Ze rubbed his brows and closed his eyes.
Wu Tong led the way and finally helped them find the ventilation duct. The duct was large enough for two people to pass through side by side. Xiao Yuncheng clung to Wu Tong's shoulder and walked with him. Wu Tong smiled and teased him, "What are you doing?" Clingy...
But Xiao Yuncheng couldn't laugh. What if Wu Tong was also trapped here? His mind was full of this sentence at the time, but fortunately, they were all safe.
Xiao Yuncheng said expressionlessly, "You won't give it to me?"
"Stick to her however you like." Wu Tong didn't really suggest it, but she just felt it was a bit strange that Xiao Yuncheng suddenly became clingy.
"Advisor Wu, what is this?..."
The policeman behind them spoke, and they both turned around at the same time, and saw the policeman turn on the flashlight, and the dark ventilation duct suddenly became bright. They both froze in place - there were many graffiti on the wall of the ventilation duct. Wu Tong recognized them at a glance. They were all drawn for Xu Ze when he was a child. Now, these graffiti appeared in front of him without reservation.
Wu Tong didn't want to watch any longer. He lowered his head and faced Xiao Yuncheng. Xiao Yuncheng was also shocked by the scene and was speechless. He just subconsciously hugged Wu Tong in his arms. How much can you understand a child's painting? It's just a scribbling of his own imagination.
But when Wu Tong saw these graffiti, he couldn't help but think of the time when Xu Ze ruthlessly abandoned him. What did it matter now? Did he think that just because he wasn't dead, he could use this method to gain his forgiveness? What was he trying to do now to redeem his feelings for himself?
"Xiao Yuncheng, let's go." Wu Tong's voice began to tremble.
Xiao Yuncheng said nothing. He silently held Wu Tong's hand. The look he gave him was filled with unspeakable meaning, but his worry was absolute. Without further delay, Xiao Yuncheng turned around and said to the people behind him, "Take down those that can be taken down, and take photos of those that can't be taken down."
Then Xiao Yuncheng took Wu Tong out first, leaving the five people inside to collect evidence. Shi Qian's voice came from the headset: "Are all of them out?"
"We've found other clues and are taking photos," one of them replied. Shi Qian then said, "Hurry up, we don't have much time."
"good."
Xiao Yuncheng and Wu Tong walked out of the factory again. They didn't say anything during the walk, but just supported each other. However, they knew in their hearts that the person they cared about most was fine, so they would not worry anymore.
Fifty meters further on, Wu Tong finally spoke: "You..."
"Why did you come?" Xiao Yuncheng was the first to interrupt him. Wu Tong was stunned for a moment and lowered his eyes: "I'm worried that something might happen to you."
Xiao Yuncheng didn't seem to want to speak, so Wu Tong continued, "I don't know what Xu Ze will do to you. I... can't sit still."
Xiao Yuncheng looked at Wu Tong, but unfortunately, it was too dark in the pipe and Xiao Yuncheng could not see his face. But Wu Tong must be very cute now. He said sincerely that he could not let him go and came to find him at the risk of his life. Although Xiao Yuncheng's heart was in his throat at that time, the moment he saw Wu Tong, he let go of the huge stone in his heart - he could not refuse Wu Tong.
Wu Tong thought Xiao Yuncheng was angry because he came here rashly. He was struggling in his heart about what to do. It was difficult to coax Xiao Yuncheng when he was angry. Maybe he would ignore him again after they went out. Wu Tong was a little conflicted, but when he thought that they had not gone out yet, the guilt in his heart was temporarily suppressed a little.
Forget it, I'll coax him after we get out.
The exit was right in front of them. Wu Tong grabbed Xiao Yuncheng's hand, motioning him to go out first, and he would follow him. Xiao Yuncheng still didn't say anything, and walked straight ahead as Wu Tong said.
But just as Xiao Yuncheng reached the door, there was a loud bang and the door of the ventilation duct was closing!
"Wu Tong!" Xiao Yuncheng turned around suddenly, but before he could even see the person clearly, he was pushed out by a force. Just before the door closed, Xiao Yuncheng was pushed out.
"Wu Tong! Wu Tong, can you hear me?!" Xiao Yuncheng banged on the iron door desperately, his heart almost stopping - the sound of the bomb countdown rang out again, louder than before. The empty factory was filled with the "beeping" sound, and Wu Tong's heart sank again and again with the sound.
Live well, Wu Tong thought.
The people behind also rushed over and saw Wu Tong standing alone at the door, which was already locked. They couldn't help but panic: "Advisor Wu, what... should we do?"
Wu Tong glanced at their waists, all of them were equipped with pistols. He said in a deep voice, "Take your guns and shoot at the crack in the door."
Everyone hesitated at first. They didn't know whether they should listen to Wu Tong, but now there was no other way, so they had to do it.
