"Hello, who is this?" This ti, Ye Shikai didn’t look at the caller ID. He was already extrely annoyed and anxious, and now his dialing was interrupted. Ye Shikai almost shouted into the phone.
"Kai, it’s ."
"Xin, how can it be you?" Ye Shikai was so shocked that his mouth opened wide, and for a mont, he forgot how to respond. How could Chen Yuxin call him at this ti, and her tone sounded off, as if... she was about to cry.
"Kai, are you inside Tianya Group now?"
Right to the point, Chen Yuxin must have known that he was currently in danger, but how could she have known?
"Ahem, I’ll be right back." Ye Shikai tried to sound as calm as possible. He still held onto hope that maybe Chen Yuxin didn’t know his current situation.
"Kai, you need to get away from that bomb quickly, it’s too dangerous."
She knew after all.
"I know, I’ll leave right away, don’t worry too much." Ye Shikai said perfunctorily. It was impossible for him to leave now. Once he left, at least dozens of people in the whole building would be injured or killed. Even though defusing the bomb was not his duty, he was still an instructor for Dragon Teeth and had no reason to leave.
"No, you need to get out imdiately." Chen Yuxin continued to urge, seemingly convinced that Ye Shikai hadn’t co out, persistently urging, wanting even to video call.
"Alright, I’m hanging up now." Ye Shikai had no choice but to hang up. He had to defuse the bomb first.
Ti was ticking, and Ye Shikai could feel people moving quickly outside. The whole building seed to be trembling. Ye Shikai still couldn’t figure out the components of the explosives inside. If it were just regular explosives, it shouldn’t be enough to blow up the entire building. In reality, the explosive material inside was special and powerful enough to raze the whole building to the ground, even affecting nearby buildings. But... that was a later issue.
Thud, thud, thud.
"Captain, are you alright?" Suddenly, a beam of light shone in from the side, and the elevator door was pried open. Ouyang Feng jumped over directly.
"Don’t worry, it’s just a bomb."
"Boss, you should evacuate first. Tie Tou is with , and he’s a bomb disposal expert." The "Tie Tou" Ouyang Feng ntioned was the bomb disposal expert in the team and an old mber of Dragon Teeth, with excellent technical skills.
"That’s great, but you must be careful. This bomb is very complex, and it’s all gray wires. I’ve already distinguished a few points."
"Don’t worry, instructor, leave everything to ." At this ti, Tie Tou climbed in with tools. This was Tie Tou’s specialty; Ye Shikai had no need to show off. Staying here would only hinder him. Ye Shikai left the elevator shaft, and although he didn’t need to defuse the bomb, he still had to help evacuate the crowd.
"Qingyu." Amidst the crowd, Ye Shikai vaguely saw the figure of Su Qingyu, not because of anything else, but because... of her beauty, like a shining pearl among the crowd.
Ye Shikai pushed through the crowd, quickly reaching Su Qingyu’s side. She seed a bit flustered, maybe because she heard about the bomb installation in the company. At such tis, Ye Shikai would typically be by her side to protect her, but now she seed like an injured little rabbit, unprotected, looking pitiful.
"It’s you." Seeing who it was, Su Qingyu seed startled, then showed a surprised smile, rushing into Ye Shikai’s arms.
"Alright, let’s get out of here." Ye Shikai lifted her with one arm, channeling his inner strength, quickly reaching the front of the crowd. Only after escorting her to the company’s entrance did Ye Shikai breathe a sigh of relief, checking his watch and becoming nervous again. It seed the bomb was about to explode soon, depending on whether Tie Tou could handle it or not.
"Qingyu, are you okay?" Ye Shikai asked.
"I’m fine. By the way, where are Lanlan and Yin?" Su Qingyu shook her head.
"We’re here." As soon as she finished speaking, two won squeezed out of the crowd—it was An Lan and Yu Yin.
"Great, you’re okay." An Lan was relieved to see Ye Shikai and Su Qingyu safe and sound.
"Will the bomb inside explode?" Yu Yin was very worried, the earlier "Godly Spirit" deanor long gone.
"My teammates are inside, and they’re very skilled. Don’t worry." Ye Shikai nervously watched the building, occasionally looking at his watch, very tense.
Three, two, one, no imagined explosion occurred. Ye Shikai dared not relax, waiting several more minutes before finally relaxing, seemingly confident that Tie Tou had already defused the bomb.
Soon after, several Dragon Teeth team mbers received so instructions, rushed in with an explosion-proof box, and ca out looking tense a few minutes later, placing the box into a car and driving away from the crowd.
"Alarm cleared." Following this, Ouyang Feng and Tie Tou also exited.
"As expected from Dragon Teeth’s top bomb defuser." Ye Shikai patted his shoulder. Every mber of Dragon Teeth had a high sense of mission. Even knowing there might not be enough ti to defuse the bomb, they would persist until the last second. Today’s situation had only two possible endings: either the bomb was defused, or Tie Tou sacrificed, and the building collapsed.
"Instructor, haven’t seen you in a while, and now you’re with so many ’sisters-in-law’." Tie Tou liked to joke as well. Only then did Ye Shikai realize that it seed people around were deliberately avoiding him, except Su Qingyu, An Lan, and Yu Yin, standing visibly by his side.
"Ahem, you’ve misunderstood." Ye Shikai waved his hand, wanting to clarify.
"Excuse , can we return to work now?" Su Qingyu blushed and asked Ouyang Feng, also changing the topic.
"Our people are checking inside to see if there are any undiscovered bombs left. It might take half a day, but... better safe than sorry. Soone dared to plant a bomb here, truly audacious." Ouyang Feng said angrily. Ye Shikai turned to Su Qingyu. Such a powerful bomb planted in the company’s elevator shaft was clearly targeted at the group, and... directly at Su Qingyu. If before, soone intended harm against Su Qingyu because of him, but now that they were divorced, why was soone still targeting Tianya so maliciously?
"In that case, I’ll leave it to you. Lanlan, let’s let everyone go ho and rest today, and co back to work tomorrow." Su Qingyu nodded.
"Alright, I’ll arrange it now."
"Qingyu, I have so things to discuss with you. Let’s have a al together later," Ye Shikai said calmly.
"Okay, you decide the place."
