"Xiang Dong! Xiang Dong, don't come! They will kill you! They will kill you!"
In the video, Lu Ying was tied to a chair, her face bruised and swollen. It was clear she had been beaten.
Slap!
A hard slap landed on Lu Ying's face!
It felt like a blow to my own heart!
That was my friend!
My friend!
Damn it, Chen Ming! Are you tired of living?
I cursed loudly!
Ha! You're nervous, Xiang Dong? Come on, it's just a couple of hits. I haven't even had my fun yet. Don't worry, before you arrive, I won't touch her again.
The screen changed to Chen Ming's vile face!
I nodded and said, "You dare to touch her again, and you'll see what happens! I swear, every five minutes I'll check my phone. If her face isn't on the screen, I'm not coming! We'll both be done for!"
I threatened Chen Ming, knowing that this was the only way to maximize Lu Ying's safety.
"Stop stalling and get on with it," I urged.
Chen Ming muttered something under his breath, and then Lu Ying's face appeared on the screen again. Her mouth was taped shut, and she looked at me anxiously. I glanced at her and then stuffed my phone into my pocket, picking up the gear I had prepared earlier.
Chen Ming must have anticipated that I would try something clever, but he had no idea that I had already prepared some rare tricks.
I had strapped explosives to my body, but I knew Chen Ming would definitely check. Those explosives wouldn't be useful, but I had hidden over twenty small sticks of Dynamite on me!
Damn it!
I couldn't believe he would find everything!
I changed into my gear and took out a capsule containing a tracker that Lu Ying could take. I didn't call Zheng Yu; since we were still in a video call with Chen Ming, he could hear everything I said.
Using another phone, I sent a text message to Zheng Yu. He knew about the capsule and could track its location.
The message read: "I'm going to rescue Lu Ying. Follow my lead!"
After editing the message, I drove straight to Chengnan Factory. During the drive, I was extremely cautious; I was afraid that if I panicked and stumbled or something, the Dynamite was sensitive. A sudden jolt could blow me to pieces.
Hurry!
I arrived at Chengnan Factory with explosives strapped to me. Once inside the factory, someone came out to greet me—undoubtedly one of Chen Ming's lackeys. This time Chen Ming was being extra careful; he only used his most trusted men for this operation. People like Zheng Yu couldn't participate in any substantial way.
As expected, these lackeys thoroughly searched my preparations. They found all the obvious explosives, but they didn't discover a single stick of the Dynamite I had cleverly hidden away.
"Boss, this kid brought a ton of explosives!"
Chen Ming's underling called to report, and soon my phone buzzed in my pocket.
"Xiang Dong, didn't I tell you to stop playing tricks? This is really troublesome. How about I just let you die right here at Chengnan Factory?" Chen Ming said with a cold laugh.
"Fine, if you don't play fair, then neither will I. I still have that video in my brother's hands. Since you lack integrity, let's call it even." I replied calmly. Chen Ming laughed upon hearing this.
"Just kidding! Since I promised you, I will definitely follow through. Come with my underlings."
I scoffed at his words. "You crafty old fox! A joke? You clearly want to kill me here!"
"Dong Ge." Chen Ming's underling nudged me. I didn’t respond; right now, I was a walking bomb. It was best not to provoke anyone, lest I end up like Lu Ying and get myself killed first.
Once outside the factory, I saw a dozen cars waiting. Chen Ming's underling led me to one of them, and then the convoy split off in different directions. Chen Ming was being cautious; did he think I had a tail?
But it didn’t matter; there was a tracker in my stomach.
Round and round we went; Chen Ming's underling drove until I was completely disoriented. I didn’t even know where I was anymore, but I was sure Zheng Yu had followed us closely.
Eventually, the car stopped in front of another dilapidated warehouse, and I was taken inside.
"Haha! Xiang Dong! You really came! For that alone, I, Chen Ming, admire you!" Chen Ming laughed heartily, clearly thrilled at the prospect of killing me.
I smiled back without a hint of fear; I wasn’t here to die—I was here to save someone!
"Woo! Woo!"
Lu Ying saw me and called out, but her mouth was covered, so she could only make muffled sounds. I glanced at her and gave her a reassuring smile.
Then I turned to face Chen Ming.
"I'm here; let her go."
"You’re too naive, Xiang Dong! If I let her go, what will happen when your brothers expose Ning Chuan's death?" Chen Ming said with a smug grin on his face. Hearing this made me smile as well; I was fifty meters away from him—well within the explosion range!
"Then what are you going to do now?"
I laughed as I took off my jacket!
I had turned the tables on them!
There were more than a dozen sticks of Dynamite sewn into the lining of my coat!
Dynamite? Damn you, Xiang Dong! You actually thought you could play this game with me? Chen Ming cursed loudly.
I chuckled. What’s wrong? Did you not see this coming?
Damn it! How could you all be so careless? He has Dynamite on him and you brought him here? Chen Ming turned to the underling who had brought me.
The underling looked confused; he had removed the most obvious explosives from me. Even if he noticed the Dynamite in my coat, it didn’t matter—I had more sewn into my shirt!
I just couldn’t believe it! You think you can spot everything?
Stop cursing him; you know I like to play tricks. You should have been prepared for this, I said with a smile as I approached Chen Ming. But as soon as he saw me, he quickly stepped back, clearly terrified.
Don’t come any closer! Don’t you dare set it off here! Otherwise, your girlfriend will go down with you! Chen Ming said in panic. I laughed and replied, Chen Ming, do you really think I’m an idiot? If I die, do you think my girlfriend will have a happy ending? Dying might be better than living like this. I’m giving you a chance: let her go, and we’ll settle our business ourselves.
With a devilish smile on my face, I took a step closer to Chen Ming. At that moment, I noticed one of his underlings reaching for his waist.
And tell your men not to act rashly! Dynamite is sensitive stuff. If I fall even slightly, no one will survive.
I said with a grin. Chen Ming immediately stopped all his underlings from making any moves. It seemed he understood the nature of Dynamite; it didn’t need to be detonated—just a violent impact would cause an explosion!
Xiang Dong! Let’s talk this out; there’s no need to take it to such an extreme where we both lose! We’d all be losers here!
Chen Ming tried to reason with me.
I accept my defeat!
I shouted fiercely, filled with confidence and a hint of madness. This was the moment for some intimidation to suppress Chen Ming!
No! No! Don’t accept it! Don’t accept it, Xiang Dong! We only have one life each! We could die! We really could die! Don’t go crazy!
Damn right, I’m going crazy! I’m asking you—are you going to let her go or not?
I shouted again, stepping closer while Chen Ming retreated step by step.
Let her go! Let her go! I’ll release her right now!
Chen Ming had no choice but to comply; he never had the courage to go down with me. It was precisely because of this that I could stand my ground against him!
Ha!
I smiled with satisfaction as I watched Chen Ming's underlings untie Lu Ying.
"Xiang Dong! Xiang Dong, don't be impulsive!"
The first thing Lu Ying said after being freed was to urge me not to act rashly. At that moment, Chen Ming also spoke up.
"Yes, Sister-in-law! Please talk some sense into Xiang Brother. There's really no need for this. Let's just let this matter go and continue to get along like before, right? Peacefully, peacefully."
Chen Ming quickly added.
Hearing this made me laugh; how naive! But he wouldn't have that chance anymore!
"You," I said to Lu Ying, "even if things have come to this point, I’m covered in Dynamite. Chen Ming wouldn’t dare make a move against me; he can only wait for Zheng Yu to come and arrest him! He’ll end up in prison!"
"No! I’ll stay here with you!"
Lu Ying immediately replied, her beautiful face bruised and swollen from the beating. Just looking at her made me furious!
"You! What good are you here? You’ll only complicate things for me!"
I frowned and snapped. It was true; my plan had reached this point without any issues. Chen Ming wouldn’t dare do anything to me—I had succeeded!
"Xiang Laodi, there’s really no need for this. Why don’t you two just let it go? Even if my brother has taken this joke too far, I’m sorry. Let’s just go back to how we were before; it’ll be fine."
"Shut up!"
I shouted loudly. How dare he call me Xiang Laodi at a time like this? If I had the time, I would definitely beat him up; how could he be so shameless? His skin was thicker than mine! Damn it!
"Then you be careful."
Lu Ying looked at me and said softly, her eyes filled with affection and concern. But she could only turn and leave now. Just as Lu Ying walked away, I noticed one of Chen Ming's underlings trying to sneak out after her.
"Nobody move! If anyone stirs up trouble, we all die together!"
I threatened immediately, causing everyone in the factory to freeze in place! No one dared to risk their lives!
Especially not Chen Ming.
"Xiang Brother, it's over now; your girlfriend is safe too. It’s all good now; you can let it go. I promise I won’t cause you any more trouble in the future."
Chen Ming continued to persuade me, but I just laughed without responding; Zheng Yu should be arriving soon.
