The doctor took a deep, restrained breath and was forced to calm down, patiently saying, "Fine, it’s all my fault, I am an incompetent doctor... I’ll compensate you, give you money, so you can remarry and have your new wife bear you a son."
His voice was steady, but the muscles in his cheeks twitched violently, clearly indicating he was at the pinnacle of rage.
"Heh, I trust none of you!" Chen Jianguo smirked viciously, looking at the couples in the room who were shivering with fear, and sneered, "You will all join my wife and child in death!" Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel-fire.net
Pei Yuanchen swore, it was just the bustle of pregnant women in the corridor that had made his head spin, so he stepped to the stairwell to catch his breath for just a minute or two, when he heard the screams from the department!
By the time he turned back, he saw that man with a string of explosives wrapped around his waist, holding a lighter in his hand, ready to ignite the fuse at any moment.
The hallway had completely emptied, and a few doctors and nurses only dared to watch from a distance, not daring to approach... The crying came from within the department.
Pei Yuanchen vaguely spotted Zhixi’s figure.
He slowly exhaled, his face stern.
The man was still ranting at the department, and Pei Yuanchen finally seized his chance, stealthily approaching him with the goal of grabbing the lighter from his hand.
His movements were extremely light, but his gaze was ice-cold.
However, just as he was about to act, a couple inside the department suddenly noticed his advancing figure and gasped in horror. Their expressions were sharply noticed by Chen Jianguo, who whirled around!
Pei Yuanchen had no choice but to freeze in his steps!
Chen Jianguo sneered viciously, bringing the lighter closer to himself: "Try taking one more step this way, see what happens?"
Pei Yuanchen smiled calmly, "Dude, I’m just passing by... what exactly happened? Maybe I can help you."
"Don’t lie to me, I saw everything, you came with that woman!" he said, pointing at Zhixi.
Pei Yuanchen’s expression changed slightly.
"Back off, get lost," he scoffed, "or I’ll make sure your wife and kid die without a place to be buried! See this? The explosives I have are powerful TNT; with this much, once it explodes, your wife will be reduced to ashes."
"Fine, I’ll leave right now," Pei Yuanchen tried to remain calm, not to provoke him further, "Don’t do anything rash, take your time to talk."
Chen Jianguo let out another cold laugh.
Pei Yuanchen’s jaws ached from clenching, forced to retreat step by step under his gaze, feeling incredibly frustrated.
What was most important... the explosives on the man’s waist were real; he couldn’t risk it.
Just moments ago, that woman had been holding her belly with a face full of sweet happiness, looking forward to the child she was expecting with He Jingyao, eager to share the good news with He Jingyao.
He dared not gamble, so he had to retreat for now.
But he couldn’t just sit and wait for doom, so as he backed away, he quietly took out his mobile phone.
Only when Pei Yuanchen had retreated far enough did Chen Jianguo sneer again and turn his gaze back to the department.
"Come on, tell me before you die how you each met your husbands," Chen Jianguo laughed eerily, "If the story’s good and cheers me up, maybe I’ll let you go."
Hearing him say this, a glimmer of hope ignited in everyone’s eyes.
