NOVEL NEXT Chapter 212: Like a Bug
After signing the contract, there were still five minutes left.
Even with Wang Ye carrying Xia Qingxin on his back, five minutes was leisurely stroll for him at his pace.
But for Hong Du, it might not be enough.
So, gritting his teeth, Hong Du dashed directly towards the safe zone.
As Hong Du rushed to the safe zone, he turned his head to glance at Wang Ye and Xia Qingxin, somewhat puzzled.
Why hadn't Wang Ye and Xia Qingxin left yet?
And it seemed like Wang Ye was about to carry Xia Qingxin on his back.
At this thought, Hong Du felt that Wang Ye had gone mad.
With the speed of both Wang Ye and Xia Qingxin, they could easily make it to the safe zone by hurrying a little.
But Wang Ye chose to carry Xia Qingxin.
In doing so, the speed of both Wang Ye and Xia Qingxin would be hindered.
"Wait for death then!"
Hong Du cursed viciously and ran quickly to the safe zone.
In his opinion, Wang Ye and Xia Qingxin might not know the power of the bomb's explosion, thinking the blast range was minimal, which was why they were not in a hurry.
Hong Du didn't plan on reminding Wang Ye and Xia Qingxin.
After all, if Wang Ye and Xia Qingxin died, the contract he had just signed would naturally be void.
And he could still get a reward from Director He.
Heaven hasn't forsaken me yet!
Realizing this, Hong Du's face rippled with a smile, almost wanting to roar these five words out loud.
However.
Just then.
Hong Du felt a breeze blow past.
Wang Ye, who was just moments ago carrying Xia Qingxin behind him, now sped past him rapidly, covering a considerable distance in an instant.
It was as if... the Xia Qingxin on Wang Ye's back had no weight at all.
"What... what kind of speed is this?"
Hong Du was dumbstruck, shocked by Wang Ye's speed, and panic started to swell in his heart.
With no one behind him and Wang Ye and Xia Qingxin moving so fast, Hong Du felt as if time itself had sped up.
Hong Du ran forward quickly.
Haste leads to mistakes.
After just a few steps, Hong Du fell to the ground.
With each fall, his anxiety grew.
After falling several times, Hong Du seemed to forget how to walk and could only crawl on the ground using his hands and feet.
As five minutes were about to pass.
Wang Ye and Xia Qingxin, who had already reached the safe zone long ago, sat there calmly and looked towards the exit.
Xia Qingxin gazed down the corridor, "Hong Du hasn't come out yet, he's not considering giving up on life, is he?"
"How could that be, since he was willing to sign the contract, it shows the guy cherishes his life. There's no way something like giving up would happen," Wang Ye shook his head.
"Then why hasn't he come out until now?"
"Here he comes!" Wang Ye said.
Then, Wang Ye and Xia Qingxin saw Hong Du, using both hands and feet, crawling rapidly toward them.
They were still a good ten meters away from the completely safe zone.
Seeing Hong Du in such a state, a touch of bewilderment flickered through Xia Qingxin's intelligent eyes. She looked at Wang Ye and asked him, "Why is he walking like that?"
Wang Ye, who was always seen as omnipotent, shook his head in confusion at this time, "I don't know either."
Boom!
The next second, the sound of a bomb exploding boomed like a muffled thunder, and large stones inside the building were blown up and scattered in all directions.
A safe zone isn't just a place outside the range of a bomb's explosion.
Places where the scattered debris from the building were likely to fall were also considered danger zones.
Although Hong Du had managed to crawl away from the immediate blast radius, he had not escaped the danger zone.
Rumble.
Boulders fell heavily around Hong Du's body.
In Hong Du's eyes, filled with fear, a boulder heavily struck his legs, shattering them.
Wang Ye, watching Hong Du's legs being crushed, had no intention of going over to heal him.
The other party had invited them with the intention of harming them.
Wang Ye didn't have the kindness to save and heal someone who wanted to harm them.
Even though Hong Du had given him the Bana Distillery, it was in exchange for his own life.
Not for the right to be healed by Wang Ye.
"Let's go."
Wang Ye took Xia Qingxin to the parking lot of Bana Distillery, which had not been affected by the bomb. He drove away with Xia Qingxin in the Spyker C8.
...
The He Family.
Sitting across from He Lei, Steward Lu Xing dealt with his matters, wearing an expression of anxious unease.
Without news of Wang Ye being taken care of, Lu Xing was very anxious.
He simply sat in He Lei's office, waiting for news from Hong Du.
Seeing Lu Xing restless, He Lei glanced at him and said, "Steward Lu, you just need to rest assured, if I said I could take care of Wang Ye, then he will definitely be taken care of."
At that moment,
He Lei's phone rang.
He Lei glanced at the caller ID, seeing that it was Hong Du. He waved the phone in front of Lu Xing, boasting, "Look, Hong Du's calling now. It must be because the plan was successful, so he's calling to report the good news."
Watching the call from Hong Du on He Lei's phone, Lu Xing's face showed no sign of relaxation.
He Lei answered the call and turned on the speakerphone, asking, "Hong Du, what good news do you bring? Was your mission successful?"
A weak voice from Hong Du came through the phone, "Director He, the plan failed, and I was forced to give Bana Distillery to Wang Ye."
"The mission failed?"
The smile vanished from He Lei's face in an instant, replaced by a ferocious look; his usually handsome face contorted like twisted bark.
"Bana Distillery was given to Wang Ye too? What happened?" He Lei's voice tone had completely changed, sounding shrill like an angry eunuch from ancient times.
Shaking all over.
Lu Xing, sitting across from He Lei, listened to the voice coming from the phone, watched He Lei's reaction, yet he was not too surprised.
It was as if from the beginning, Lu Xing had expected this outcome.
"Director He, I will explain the details to you later. Wang Ye... Wang Ye is simply like a..." Hong Du seemed to be searching for words on the other end of the line, and after a long pause, he could only say, "A cheat code-like existence!"
"Yes, he's like a cheat code-like existence! Like a bug in a reality-based game who can suddenly mix in a martial arts character!"
