Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
However, the helicopters and vehicles did not linger in the city center. Instead, they headed in unison toward the suburbs. The development of the situation eased the worries of many onlookers.
In the affluent hillside villa area on the outskirts of the capital, a ring of vehicles and helicopters had already encircled the community. The occupants of the mansion felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They immediately sent people to stand guard, resulting in a stalemate between the two sides.
Xu Yi had already communicated their demands to hand over the person they sought, and they would withdraw. If not, they would level the mansion to the ground.
‘Hand over the person? But where was that person?’
A cloud of fear hung over everyone inside the mansion.
In terms of power and influence, they might not measure up to those from Clearcreek Mansion, but they weren’t so weak as to be entirely subdued like this. However, they had been caught off guard by the sudden attack and had no time to summon reinforcements.
Three minutes passed, and Ye Nanshen had run out of patience. He snatched the megaphone from Xu Yi’s hands. His voice was icy cold as he declared, “Where is Rong Qi? You have two more minutes. If she doesn’t appear, you will face the consequences.”
With that, Ye Nanshen stood at the forefront, his face as cold as ice. He had absolutely no faith in Sheng Jian. The man had abducted Chu Jing. No one could tell what Sheng Jian might do to Rong Qi next.
As far as Ye Nanshen was concerned, all acts of seeming goodwill from Sheng Jian were fraught with malicious intent. So, in Ye Nanshen’s mind, Sheng Jian was like a highly unpredictable and dangerous ticking time bomb, possibly here to snatch Rong Qi away.
Two minutes ticked away on the stopwatch. But there was still no response from inside the mansion. Ye Nanshen’s eyes narrowed. He commanded, “Fire.”
With just a command, a thunderous explosion shook the air. One corner of a large building inside the mansion compound was demolished.
“Holy crap! Ye Nanshen had actually gone through with it!”
Panic instantly swept through the occupants of the mansion, and they scrambled to contact Sheng Jian.
Another boom resounded. The same building was hit again, leaving it teetering on the brink of collapse.
“Mr. Ye, please, let’s keep a cool head. We’re trying to reach Mr. Sheng but we just couldn’t. Give us another five…just five minutes. We’ll provide a definitive answer,” pleaded someone from inside the mansion, his voice tinged with panic and urgency.
After exiting the operating room, Lu Chengzhou heard that Rong Qi had fainted and rushed over immediately without sparing a glance at the people sitting outside.
Rong Tianshi was wheeled out, and the nurses immediately turned away Mrs. Rong Sr. and Rong Feiyu, directing them to leave. But Mrs. Rong Sr. insisted on staying. Complaining of a headache, she demanded a room right next to Rong Tianshi’s. The nurses had no choice but to consult Lu Chengzhou.
Lu Chengzhou frowned. He said, “Fine, let her stay as long as she wants. Just make sure she pays every cent.”
As Lu Chengzhou went to check on Rong Qi, Sheng Jian finally took out his phone. It was dead. Just as he was about to step out, his assistant rushed in, stumbling before him in a frantic state.
“Sir, we’re in trouble! Mr. Ye has surrounded our mansion!”
“What?!” Sheng Jian felt his brows twitch at the news.
Swallowing hard, the assistant gasped for air and continued, “Mr. Ye demanded someone from us. When his demands weren’t met, he bombarded the mansion. Our men are still in a standoff with his. Sir, we need to go back now!” “Is this man completely barbaric now? Has he lost all reason?” Sheng Jian was furious. “So I take care of his wife, and in return, he rips the roof off my mansion? This cannot stand! Call for reinforcements right now. I refuse to believe that I can’t handle one insolent young man! Let’s go back.. I’m not afraid of him?!”
