Chapter 116 He dared not gamble with her safety
Ron told her that the restroom was on the left-hand side ahead.
So Luo Tingwei went.
She closed the door, took a deep breath, and then took her phone out of her pocket.
However, she had just typed one word when her hand slipped and her phone fell into the toilet.
...
Luo Tingwei's silence was deafening; she froze on the spot.
After finally managing to fish the phone out, it was no longer responding.
"Damn it."
Luo Tingwei cursed, "Huo Zhizhou, what kind of crappy phone did you buy me? It's not even waterproof."
With no other option, her phone was broken, so she walked out dejectedly.
On the other side.
Li Yanzhou's phone screen lit up.
It was a message from Luo Tingwei.
The man immediately tensed up, opened the package, and saw only one word: "Me."
That's all.
Just one word: Me.
Li Yanzhou's brows furrowed suddenly as he began to analyze the meaning of the word.
He quickly returned the call, but no one answered despite calling many times.
A surge of irritation welled up in the man's heart, and he clenched his fists tightly.
Just then, Mo Sen walked in. Li Yanzhou grabbed him by the collar and shouted, "Where is he? Have you found him?"
Mo Sen hesitated for a moment, not even daring to look at him, "The fire is under control, but there's still no news of Miss Luo..."
"What do you mean there's no news of her? We need to see her alive or dead!"
Mosen took a deep breath. "The apartment is completely burned. The forensic team has gone there and is checking for human tissue..."
Hearing this, Li Yanzhou breathed a slight sigh of relief.
She can at least send text messages on her phone, which means she shouldn't be in the apartment.
But why did she only send one word, and why didn't she answer the phone?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel nervous again.
Just then, the phone rang again.
He was startled and immediately answered the call.
A sinister voice came from the other end of the phone, "Heh... Li Yanzhou."
It was Dr. Lin's voice.
He dialed Zhou Yancheng's office phone, but called out Li Yanzhou's name.
Li Yanzhou wasn't stupid; he naturally knew what this phone call meant.
The man's voice was extremely low, almost forced out from his throat, "Where is she?"
"She's in my hands. I'll give you an address. You can be exchanged for her."
"Let me hear her voice, I need to make sure she's alright."
“You have no right to negotiate with me.” Dr. Lin interrupted him forcefully, giving a cold laugh. “If you don’t want to, you can hang up the phone.”
"Listen carefully, if you dare to touch her, you won't survive either."
There was a half-second silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Dr. Lin's soft chuckle.
"Li Yanzhou, are you panicking? You're finally afraid?"
The man's patience was about to snap, and he said coldly,
"Stop talking nonsense, tell me the location."
Dr. Lin laughed and gave him an address—Ron's private villa on the border. Before leaving, he added a warning...
"Remember, you can only come alone, otherwise, you can expect to be collecting her corpse..."
Little did they know, he had already planted explosives around the private villa.
Today, he's going to put an end to everything.
Both Luo Tingwei and Li Yanzhou must die; neither of them can be spared.
If Ron dares to stand in his way, then they shall die together!
Fatherly love can blind a person; in order to avenge Lin Zeyuan, he had long since disregarded everything else.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Mo Sen hurriedly stopped the man in front of him, "You can't go! President Li, do you know the consequences of your going?"
Li Yanzhou glanced at him and said, "Let go."
Mo Sen suddenly knelt down with a thud, grabbing his leg tightly. "You can't go, President Li! This is their trap!"
Li Yanzhou kicked him in the stomach, "Let go!"
Mosen groaned in pain, but still held on tightly. "Miss Luo is Ron's daughter. Ron won't let Dr. Lin hurt Miss Luo. Going there will only be a pointless death for you!"
“Ron?” Li Yanzhou scoffed coldly, as if he had heard a joke, and said, enunciating each word clearly.
"Who does he think he is? I don't trust anyone in this world except myself. I dare not gamble, nor dare I let my woman take any risks. If anything happens to her, I'd gladly give up my life for her too..."
"That Lin Wensen is a deep and cunning man, not easy to control. I'm afraid he's already alienated from Ron and has his own ideas."
Upon hearing his words, Mo Sen closed his eyes in despair, his grip on Mo Sen's leg loosening unconsciously. "President Li..."
Li Yanzhou sighed, squatted down, and helped the man at his feet up.
"Mosen, I'm leaving this place to you. Protect everything, and I'll be back as soon as possible."
Mosen's eyes reddened, and he had no choice but to let go of him.
The man took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and then silently peeled off the mask, revealing his original, three-dimensional and delicate face.
Then, he strode away.
***
Private villas on the border.
"Mr. Luo, someone has broken in!"
The bodyguard rushed over to report.
Ron put down his cigarette and asked, puzzled, "Who is it?"
The bodyguard handed him the tablet.
Ron's expression changed abruptly. "Li Yanzhou? What's he doing here?"
"Damn it! What is Lin Wensen trying to do? Why did I lure him here?"
Their original plan was simply to use Luo Tingwei as a cover to lure him to a location north of Black City, and then take action when the opportunity arose.
Ron quickly realized something was wrong, slapped his thigh, and exclaimed, "Damn it, I've been tricked by Lin Wensen!"
That being said, it doesn't mean he's going to let Li Yanzhou off the hook.
"I'll kill Li Yanzhou first, then I'll get rid of Lin Wensen too," Ron said through gritted teeth.
The next second, he made a throat-slitting gesture.
Just then, a commotion came from outside the door, followed by several ear-piercing gunshots. Before he could react, he saw Li Yanzhou, his face covered in blood, walking towards him step by step with an overwhelming sense of pressure. His tall figure gradually became clearer in front of him as he approached.
"You fucking have some nerve!"
As Ron spoke, he drew his sidearm and pointed it at him.
Li Yanzhou showed no fear and continued to stride towards him, his voice as cold as ice in the depths of winter.
Where is Luo Tingwei?
"She's not here! But since you've come here to die, I'll grant your wish!"
Ron was about to pull the trigger when, a second later, he heard a man's mocking voice.
"The bomb in the villa will explode in five minutes."
“Ron, don’t tell me you’re still in the dark.”
Upon hearing this, the man opposite him froze, staring into his eyes, a flicker of panic visible for a moment.
"What did you say?"
