Chapter 429: The Beloved Villain's Daughter (36)
The old man then sat down to the side, planning his escape route. After killing the two men, he would leave the country, making himself untraceable. He would make those who had ruined him pay the price; they deserved it.
Wen Wan was strapped with a bomb; this old madman was considering taking everyone down with him if all else failed.
Even if I can't survive, I will leave him and Gu Qian here forever.
Wen Wan began to untie the ropes binding her hands. Because she felt no pain, Zhao Yin broke her fingers without hesitation. The crisp sound made Wen Wan feel a little creeped out.
However, he maintained a blank expression.
The old man was still drinking and complaining, mostly cursing Gu Qiwen as an ingrate, an ungrateful, unfilial son, and also cursing Gu's parents for colluding with each other and disregarding family ties.
Wen Wan quickly freed one hand from the rope loop, then the other, and then tied a slipknot to make it look like she was still tied up.
"System, what should I do about the bomb on my person?"
System: [The bomb on your body will only last for thirty seconds after activation, but I can pause it for five minutes. Use those five minutes to throw the bomb away, and you will survive.]
Aren't you waiting for the male lead?
Wen Wan shook her head. "I'm not waiting anymore. He'll be in danger. Who knows what kind of crazy thing he might do next?"
Alright, host, I hope you succeed.
Wen Wan watched as the man, exhausted from cursing, sat down to the side and scrolled through his phone, seemingly chatting with Gu Qian.
Wen Wan suddenly screamed.
What are you doing?
"My stomach hurts, I need to go to the toilet, I can't hold it in any longer."
The man frowned and walked over impatiently, trying to grab Wen Wan. But Wen Wan suddenly broke free with lightning speed, then picked up a chair and smashed it directly at the man.
The man was knocked to the ground, and Wen Wan ran away while taking off the bomb-themed clothes she was wearing.
The man quickly got up and started chasing Wen Wan.
Wen Wan kept running. The man hadn't detonated the bomb yet because he didn't want to alert the enemy. After all, his target had never been just one person, and the other person hadn't arrived yet.
Wen Wan fell several times, but she got up and kept running, following the optimal plan provided by the system.
Just when they thought everything was resolved, a car intercepted them, and two people got out and grabbed Wen Wan tightly.
"Holy crap, they even had accomplices! How disgusting!"
Wen Wan began to struggle. She felt that she was injured, but it didn't hurt, so she acted as if she didn't care about her life.
The other party was afraid of someone who didn't value their life, since she shouldn't die now.
In the end, Wen Wan actually managed to break free and ran away.
In a moment of ruthless anxiety, the man recklessly activated the bomb on Wen Wan's body.
System: [Five minutes, host, disassemble quickly.]
Wen Wan began to defuse the bomb, and this bomb absolutely could not explode where there were people. This old beast had actually brought her to an old residential area. Although the area was small and dilapidated, it wasn't deserted.
Wen Wan followed the route given by the system and ran to the outskirts of the city.
Even if it explodes here, it won't hurt anyone.
Wen Wan originally thought that she could just take the bomb off her body, but no matter how hard she pulled, it was no use. She even tried to smash it with a rock, but that didn't work either. "Why is this bomb different from the ones I saw in the drama? I was even going to cut the wires, but this one doesn't even have any wires."
System: [This is a state-of-the-art bomb; it's not something that can be easily dealt with.]
Three minutes remaining.
Wen Wan felt like she'd been screwed over, and the man actually caught up with her. Because there was no explosion as expected, he assumed the bomb had malfunctioned and even installed a tracking device on himself.
It must be said that not every kidnapper can succeed easily these days.
That's a very high IQ.
"You think you can run away? I underestimated my granddaughter's abilities. Grab her now."
Wen Wan can't escape now, and she's not going to run away anymore; anyway, this bomb is destined to explode.
"If you don't stop this bomb, we'll all die together."
The man laughed loudly, "It should have exploded a long time ago but it didn't. It's broken. I have to attach a foolproof bomb to it for you."
Wen Wan sneered, then showed everyone the bomb on her body, "It's not broken, it's still counting down."
Two men came to grab Wen Wan, and then they saw the bomb on Wen Wan's body that was still on a countdown timer.
Wen Wan said with a smile, "There's still a minute and a half left. This bomb can kill me or you. You can die with me. It's not a loss."
"Brother, this guy really has a bomb on him that's still detonated. What's going on?"
The man came over and started pressing the bomb switch, but it didn't work. According to the system, this was no longer under the control of the remote control.
The three men panicked. Two of them tried to run, but Wen Wan held them tightly. No matter how they beat her, Wen Wan didn't let go. Since she felt no pain, even if Wen Wan was going to die, none of these men would survive.
"Thirty seconds. This bomb is too powerful. Even if you run, you won't be able to escape at all."
Wen Wan lay on the ground.
Looking at the clouds in the sky, he felt a little regretful. "What a pity, but I will come back. Wait for me, Gu Qian."
Bang……
With a loud explosion, Wen Wan was blown to pieces without feeling anything, and none of the three kidnappers survived either; they were all blown to pieces like fireworks.
Wen Wan's soul was promptly taken away by the system.
...
Meanwhile, Gu Qian arrived at the location the kidnapper had mentioned, but found nothing except a rope, a chair, and some blood.
He then tried to call, but couldn't get through. Soon the police arrived. Before Gu Qian could even ask why they were there, he heard a huge explosion that shook the ground.
Gu Qian's heart suddenly tightened. "No way."
Then they ran towards the sound of the explosion, and the police followed. When they arrived at the explosion site, it was pitch black, and the explosion had even caused a wildfire. The police quickly put out the fire, and Gu Qian was about to rush in, but the police held him back tightly. "Sir, please calm down. It's too dangerous inside."
"Soft...soft...soft..."
He even got into a fight with the police and was eventually forcibly detained by them.
They only started looking for people after the firefighters arrived and put out the fire.
Gu Qian watched as pieces of dark objects were brought out, and even the policeman guarding him couldn't bear to look. "Sir, please calm down and accept my condolences."
In this situation, no one could survive.
Even the corpses might be blown to pieces, impossible to put back together.
Gu Qian was in very bad condition and even wanted to go over to her countless times. In the end, for the sake of his mental state, the police simply knocked him unconscious.
Gu Ruan is dead.
Police collected all human tissue from the scene and then conducted DNA comparisons, ultimately confirming the identities.
Gu's mother fainted immediately. Gu Qiwen was still on his way back, while Gu's father asked the police about the situation with great distress.
Finally, the identities of the other three were also confirmed.
Gu's father was filled with hatred. He should have been more ruthless back then. That was his granddaughter, and he had killed her like a beast.
Gu Qian was in a madman state after waking up, and he was finally forced to take a sedative before he could fall asleep.
Everything is in chaos.
The police also obtained the surveillance footage from the roadside, and after watching only two or three clips, they fell silent.
"This is outrageous. If this had exploded there, the casualties would have been enormous. Just the building next door has more than a dozen elderly people and children living there. Is this some kind of revenge against society? It's too cruel."
"She knew, so she ran towards the deserted suburbs."
The police came to this conclusion, which they found hard to believe, but it was the truth.
A young girl in the prime of her life was cruelly killed in an explosion, and all to prevent others from being implicated.
As for the emergency call, it was made from the victim's phone, clearly an attempt to call for help, but they couldn't get there in time.
After reassuring the family, the police began investigating the aftermath.
For example, where did the bomb come from? Are there any surviving accomplices?
However, none of the Gu family members were doing well. When Gu's mother woke up, she couldn't believe it and then fainted several times from crying. How could she believe that her son, who was still dating her and calling her every day, and who was being so sweet and affectionate with her just the day before, had encountered such a thing?
Mr. Gu had to take care of his wife and son while also managing the company, because what would happen to the company if he collapsed?
When Gu Qiwen arrived, he saw his daughter's remaining human tissue, now charred black, and he fell into a state of extreme pain before fainting.
Gu's father also has to take care of Gu Qiwen.
...
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Gu's mother slowly accepted the fact. Gu Qiwen's condition was still very bad. He even tried to commit suicide several times, but the doctor stopped him each time. Gu's father rushed over and told Gu Qiwen that Ruan Ruan would not want him to die with her if she was watching from heaven. She was so kind.
However, even though he could persuade Gu Qiwen, Gu's father was helpless when it came to his own son.
It was as if he had lost his soul.
Gu's parents were extremely worried, fearing that after losing Ruan Ruan, they would also lose their only daughter.
Gu's mother cried as she leaned against her husband's chest. "What should I do? What should I do? How could this happen? I still feel like it's all a dream. I'll wake up and Ruan Ruan will call me affectionately."
Mr. Gu was also saddened and comforted his wife.
Wen Wan watched all of this from within the system space, then glared at the system, "You didn't tell me it would take five years to bring me back to life."
System: [This is a fact that cannot be changed whether we say it or not. My condolences.]
Wen Yan: "..."
Afterwards, she launched into a tirade of insults against the system, then looked worriedly at Gu Qian, her father, and Gu's parents, asking, "What else can I do? How can I tell them that I'm not dead?"
[Don't worry, I'll take care of everything for you in five years.] Anyway, this isn't the first time. Sometimes the system doesn't understand why its host always has to die.
The deaths were far too hasty and frequent. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have needed to find a host for the next world; I could have just let the host take over. This would have saved me a lot of unnecessary trouble. I should report this to my superiors, the system thought.
