Chapter 941: Chapter 941: Her Target Is Zhixi
He Jingyao smiled and began, “Mr. Lawrence, we finally meet.”
During the month He Jingyao was detained, he communicated numerous times with Lawrence.
However, the two had never truly met; this was indeed their first time encountering each other.
As soon as He Jingyao finished speaking, Lawrence ceased struggling.
He gasped for breath, trying hard to open his eyes and look at him.
“Mr. He… ha…” He laughed, “I didn’t expect we’d have the chance to meet.”
“Indeed, I didn’t expect it either,” He Jingyao replied coldly, without intending to waste time on idle talk.
He glanced at Feng Qian, who immediately understood.
Feng Qian squatted beside Lawrence, carefully checking his arm, and soon his expression turned grave.
He looked up at He Jingyao and nodded gently.
“Looking for a bomb?” Lawrence laughed, “The one now is unlike the quaint N39 you had back then. Once detonated, residents nearby, including Mr. He, will be impacted without exception.”
Huo Yanhui’s face turned somewhat unsightly; he’d previously insisted Ye Shutong wouldn’t do such a thing, only to be proven wrong.
Moreover, his influence was evidently not substantial enough; Ye Shutong wasn’t going to abandon her plan because of his presence.
He looked at He Jingyao. All hopes now rested on Jingyao having a solution.
“Whether I live or die is uncertain, but Mr. Lawrence, you are undoubtedly doomed.” He Jingyao suddenly laughed and glanced at Feng Qian again. Feng Qian decisively grabbed something from a nearby bodyguard and pressed it hard against Lawrence’s arm. Lawrence screamed in pain!
His expression twisted with a hint of confusion.
He seemed puzzled why the bomb hadn’t been activated.
He Jingyao had been prepared for this, something Lawrence indeed hadn’t anticipated.
Since he appeared here, he had prepared himself for death. At the moment He Jingyao approached, Ye Shutong was supposed to activate the bomb. Although it would take a while to explode after activation, there should still be a chance. But now… what is this woman doing?
He Jingyao also noticed the trace of hesitation in his eyes.
His heart suddenly sank.
A thought raced through his mind, causing a shiver down his spine.
“Where is Ye Shutong?” He suddenly asked coldly, looking to his side at Huo Yanhui.
“Ye Shutong?” Huo Yanhui was taken aback, “Isn’t she supposed to be in Yangdong City?”
He Jingyao pressed his lips tightly and suddenly closed his eyes.
When he opened them again, they were filled with a cold murderous intent.
“I’ve been fooled.” He let out a hollow laugh, tossing a “Leave this to you” to Feng Qian, then swiftly turned to leave, heading towards the car.
As he walked, he took out his phone to call Uncle Li.
Yet, until he reached the car, the call hadn’t gone through, just a series of busy tones.
He Jingyao’s heart sank heavily.
He quickly got into the driver’s seat.
Huo Yanhui followed closely behind, also getting into the car, his expression anxious, “What on earth is going on?”
“Zhixi…” He Jingyao started the car and then spat out those two words weakly, as if using all his strength to suppress the raging fury in his heart, “Lawrence was just bait. Ye Shutong never intended to kill anyone; her target is Zhixi.” Follow current novels on novelꜰire.net
