Chapter 574: Grandpa Is Still Alive!

Chapter 574: Chapter 574: Grandpa Is Still Alive!

"Okay," Nan Jingchen’s lips were dry as he spoke.

His heart was beating violently as he watched the seconds tick by on the timer, his hands hesitating as he maneuvered the scissors through the tangled wires.

Damn it!

He had never seen a bomb like this before, and even he couldn’t have created such a complex time bomb.

He had encountered the Underground Alliance many times, and although they had weapons and bombs, he firmly believed none were as good as his own.

There was no one in the world more familiar with ammunition than him!

"Damn little punks! Daring to play with bombs in front of grandpa!" Nan Jingchen cursed out loud.

"Screw it, if I die, I die!"

He closed his eyes and cut a wire based on intuition...

For a long moment, nothing happened. He couldn’t help but open his eyes. The wire was cut, but the timer was still running.

"Damn it!" Nan Jingchen dialed Yun Yue’s number and spoke after a moment’s hesitation, "If I die, bury me with Nancy, and remember to burn lots and lots of money for me every year. I don’t want to be a poor ghost down below... And also burn luxury cars, mansions, airplanes, cell phones, and stuff..."

Yun Yue: "...Okay, I’ll satisfy you..."

How did she not know the Netherworld had these things?

"Then, I’m relieved." Nan Jingchen took a deep breath and gradually relaxed. "Thank you for these years, for making my life not so gloomy, for showing me the light leading to the world above... Bang! Bang!"

Yun Yue heard gunshots through the phone, not understanding what was happening.

"Hello? Nan Jingchen, are you still alive..."

"Nan Jingchen?!"

Yun Yue called out several times but got no response, and Mo Fan pressed the accelerator to the floor.

This guy better not be gone now!

Nan Jingchen, with his eyes closed, furrowed his brows - his senses sharp. Realizing he could still hear Yun Yue’s voice, he opened one eye, then the other.

Staring at the destroyed timer, he burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! What is calling grandpa good for! Grandpa is still alive! Darn kids! All damn kids! Dare to play with bombs in front of grandpa, go home and practice more!"

Hearing his spirited voice, Yun Yue knew he was alright.

Not only was he fine, but the bomb had probably been defused too.

"What did you just say about calling grandpa?!" Yun Yue’s tone carried a hint of lightness, but this kid actually dared to take advantage of her, so bold!

Nan Jingchen shuddered, he had been too excited and joyful, and had blurted out without thinking.

"Sister Yue, no... grandpa Yue, listen to me explain... How could I possibly say such a thing, you definitely misheard, you are my grandpa, I am your grandson..."

He hurriedly began to save his own life, not killed by the bomb but instead likely to be beaten to death by her.

Mo Fan, who was driving, let out a sigh of relief. This kid was still joking around, it seemed nothing serious had happened.

"Enough with the jokes, there are a few more bombs, go defuse them."

Considering he had risked his life to defuse the bomb, Yun Yue wasn’t planning to hold him accountable.

"Okay, I’m on my way." Nan Jingchen sent a signal to Tang Wenjing to come pick him up.

Five kilometers away, Tang Wenjing saw his signal flare, overjoyed.

Tang Wenjing: "Is it already defused?!"

"That fast?! How did he do it?!"

Several bomb disposal experts had clearly seen the flare in the sky, that time bomb was so complex, it definitely wasn’t something that could be managed by luck.

"Get in the car!" Tang Wenjing drove to rendezvous with Nan Jingchen, then took them to the next bomb site.

"All the bombs should be the same, tell them how to defuse them. One person can’t do it in time, you must have more people go."

Now that over forty minutes had passed, there was only one hour and twenty minutes left, and nobody knew what might happen next. Fu Pan was still evacuating people, and all the streets of Beijing were filled with vehicles.

Nan Jingchen spoke gravely, "We just need to destroy the timer. Of course, I can’t rule out other complications, and I can’t guarantee anything. We have no choice but to take a chance."

"Then let’s take that chance!" Tang Wenjing stared straight ahead.

It was a matter of life and death—fail and die, succeed and live. Either way, they had to try.

"Exactly, we might die anyway, so let’s take a chance. If it succeeds, no one has to die!"

They had braced themselves for death before coming here.

Now, having successfully defused one bomb, their chances of success had increased by ten percent.

The man in black brought Uncle Fu back to the villa.

Xiao Mingwei had been waiting for their return, only to see so few of them return.

"What happened? Where is the master?! Did the mission fail?"

Xiao Mingwei grabbed the man in black, his eyes bloodshot.

"The lord was captured, Uncle Fu was injured, and we fell into their trap!"

Xiao Mingwei staggered backward in despair.

"How is that possible! You took so many people with you!"

Du Li exclaimed, "What do we do now?! Did the master leave any instructions?!"

The man in black shook his head, "Let’s wait for Uncle Fu to come to, and see what he says."

Although the lord had set up explosives in Beijing beforehand, only the lord and Uncle Fu knew whether those explosives were real or fake.

Soon after, the bullet in Uncle Fu’s back was removed, and he woke up. freewebnøvel.com

"Where is the lord?!" Uncle Fu squinted at the man in black.

The man in black fell silent, "The lord has been captured, and the lady was impersonated by Yun Yue!"

"Yun Yue! Cough cough cough!" Uncle Fu coughed violently.

No wonder the lord wanted her gone. Now, it seemed that not eliminating her would only jeopardize their plans!

Xiao Mingwei nervously asked, "Uncle Fu, what do we do now?!"

Uncle Fu glanced at him, "What’s the rush? They’re already in disarray. The lord had prepared for this."

Everything was just part of advancing the plan early.

"Inform everyone to take down Laboratory D as quickly as possible."

"Yes."

They had hoped to seize control of the Four Major Families during this opportunity, but they had already hidden away, leaving his men grasping at straws.

Fortunately, the lord had sensed something was amiss and made arrangements ahead of time; otherwise, they would have been very passive at this moment.

It was time to retrieve what was hidden in Laboratory D.

**

Yun Yue and her team had already arrived at the scene, and all bombs had been removed. Still, everyone remained on high alert, not daring to let their guard down in case there were more hidden bombs.

"Master Chen, all discovered bombs have been defused." Tang Wenjing reported the situation.

That’s all she could say; if there were any more hidden bombs, they simply wouldn’t have time to find them.

But two hours had already passed, and no explosions had occurred elsewhere, so there seemed to be no immediate danger.

"Is that He Yao?" Tang Wenjing looked at the middle-aged man in the car, who was closing his eyes with eerie composure.

His composure was unsettling.

With his capabilities, she felt the situation wasn’t resolved yet.

Seeing her frown, Feng Ye couldn’t help but ask, "Yes, is there a problem?"

Tang Wenjing replied, "He’s far too calm."
