Chapter 142 Slapping Li Yanzhou
Just then, an explosion was heard from the warehouse in the distance.
With a bang, a huge flame quickly engulfed the entire small space.
"Nina!"
Mansur shouted into the distance, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
Ron was equally shocked; how could it have exploded?
He did not put anything flammable or explosive.
Moreover, there were more than a dozen of his men in the warehouse.
Mansour was furious. He rushed forward, grabbed Ron by the collar, and punched him in the face. "I'll fucking fight you to the death!"
"You killed Nina! You killed my daughter!"
The man's furious voice echoed through the dark night sky...
**
Morning news.
"Ron showed no martial ethics and murdered Mansour's innocent young girl."
"Ron kills"
"Mansour's daughter was brutally murdered by his rivals"
"The sins of the family should not be borne by the innocent; Ron has even implicated his entire clan?"
...
Numerous headlines accused Ron of murder, violating the unspoken rule in the industry: one should not punish family members.
Whoever breaks the rules is essentially declaring war.
Mansour has already taken the initiative to gain an advantage in public opinion.
There was chaos when the explosion happened that day.
Whether out of guilt or simply because he was preoccupied with his own problems, Ron let Mansour go without giving chase.
Mansour eventually returned to Fashi.
By then, Li Yanzhou had already arrived in Black City.
**
The study was pitch black.
A large black-and-white portrait of the deceased hangs high on the wall.
“Nina…my daughter.” The man’s eyes were filled with pity.
His subordinate came in carrying a small box.
"Boss, these are Miss's ashes."
"Put it down."
Mansour waved his hand.
After his subordinate left, a woman with a graceful figure and captivating beauty entered.
"Are you still sad?"
The woman smiled and then cupped his face in her hands, teasing him, "Okay, don't be sad anymore~"
Mansour brushed her hand away without a word, his voice deepening, "Be serious."
The woman was not to be outdone, and scoffed, "What are you pretending for? You can fool others, but can you fool me? You have a performative personality. There are no outsiders here, so you don't need to keep acting."
"You're trading a daughter for the chance to wipe out Ron completely. It's a great deal."
"That's enough! That's my daughter."
Mansour shouted angrily, "Shut your mouth!"
The woman snorted, "You're just fooling yourself. If you really cared about her, you shouldn't have pressed that detonation button in the first place. You know better than I do what the chip in her body is all about. You just wanted to be safe from someone using her to blackmail you, so you prepared a backup plan from the start, to strike first and leave others helpless."
Gunshots rang out.
The woman opened her mouth, and blood gushed from her forehead before she collapsed.
Mansour was panting heavily, still clutching the gun in his hand, and said through gritted teeth,
"I already told you to shut up."
**
Black City.
"President Li, the public opinion is growing stronger and stronger. Everyone wants President Luo to come forward and give an explanation. Even the International Court of Justice has intervened and wants to take President Luo away."
Li Yanzhou silently looked out the window.
Nina is dead.
Ron isn't that stupid; he wouldn't just kill Nina outright.
In their line of work, kidnapping, extortion, coercion, and bribery are all commonplace. As long as no one dies, they can turn a blind eye to it.
But now that someone has died, the situation is different.
Ron instantly became a villain for all time, the target of public condemnation.
Mansour now had a reason to unite with surrounding forces and wipe them out in one fell swoop.
The smart thing to do at this time is to stay out of it and clear yourself of any involvement.
A commotion came from outside the door.
The man's thoughts were abruptly interrupted, and he frowned slightly. "What's going on?"
The subordinate opened the door and looked inside, his face showing hesitation. "It's the madam..."
Li Yanzhou took a deep breath and strode out. "I'll go take a look. You go ahead."
"yes."
In the bedroom.
As soon as Luo Tingwei saw Li Yanzhou, she started making a fuss, "Let me go, I really don't know you."
How many days has it been? It's been going on for almost three days.
"Quiet down, I've been very busy these past few days."
Even though Li Yanzhou was annoyed, he still patiently hugged her. "Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll take you out to play. Trust me."
"Do you think I'm stupid? Li Yanzhou, I asked you to let me go. You said I'm your wife, but I really can't remember anything. Are you going to force me to stay here?"
After he finished speaking, a loud "slap" rang out as a slap across his face.
The air froze.
All the servants were shocked, standing there dumbfounded, quickly lowering their heads, not daring to even breathe.
Li Yanzhou touched his face and suddenly laughed, his gaze turning sharp as he looked at her.
"If I let you go, where are you going?"
"I want to go home!"
"Which home to go back to?"
"The Luo family."
Li Yanzhou scoffed, "They really won't shed a tear until they see the coffin."
"Okay, you want to go home, right? I'll let you go. Go now."
The man suddenly seemed like a different person; he turned and strode away, leaving her with a cold, aloof back view, while giving orders.
"Listen up, everyone. If she wants to leave, no one should stop her. Let her go."
Li Yanzhou is gone.
Luo Tingwei was suddenly stunned.
Did he... really let her go?
Luo Tingwei stood there with some doubt. Only after his figure had completely disappeared from her sight did she move a step and tentatively glance at the people around her.
“You all heard it, he let me go, none of you are allowed to stop him.”
After saying that, he walked out.
The servants all stood frozen in place, watching her walk out; no one actually tried to stop her.
Luo Tingwei successfully walked out of the villa's gate.
She was dumbfounded after she went outside.
The area outside the villa was actually a deserted place with only one long road. She didn't have a car and couldn't leave the area at all.
She turned back, wanting to go back inside and ask Li Yanzhou to borrow a car or something.
The bodyguard stopped her immediately. "I'm sorry, Madam, but Mr. Li said that once you walk out of this door, you can't come back in."
"Then how do I leave here?"
The bodyguard acted as if it were none of his business, saying, "That's your own problem."
Upon hearing this, Luo Tingwei quietly clenched her fist, convinced that Li Yanzhou was only trying to force her to submit using this method.
Having finally regained her freedom, she was not about to surrender easily.
So she made up her mind to walk out on her own two feet.
She looked at the map; it was more than 30 kilometers from the city center, and she should be able to get there by evening.
With that thought in mind, Luo Tingwei gritted her teeth and set off.
