Chapter 29

Zhou Rong's brows twitched fiercely a couple of times, and barely half a second later, he responded succinctly, ”Got it.”

He ignored the slight resistance, lifting Si Nan up with one arm under his back and the other under his knees. Carrying him into the bathroom, Zhou Rong placed Si Nan in the shower stall and picked up the showerhead, spraying Si Nan's face with the ice cold water of winter.

”Ahh… Ahh!”

Si Nan naturally opposed it, struggling and twisting about for over ten seconds. Finally, he swatted the showerhead away, shouting, ”Get the h.e.l.l out!”

He was entirely drenched, his skin gleaming from the water. However, his eyes looked like they were about to burst into flames — from fury.

Zhou Rong immediately raised both his hands up. ”Sorry.”

Zhou Rong's t-s.h.i.+rt was also soaked completely, clinging tightly onto his body and revealing his sculpted muscles of his torso. What was awkward was that his camouflage pants, because of the water, was bulging out very explicitly, and there was no way of hiding it.

”I'm sorry,” Zhou Rong repeated earnestly. ”Why don't you hit me a couple of times to vent your anger?”

Before his voice even faded away, his head skewed to one side from Si Nan's punch!

”b.a.s.t.a.r.d,” Si Nan said coldly.

Rubbing his face, Zhou Rong reached out — Si Nan did not even have time to dodge it before he felt his hair being ruffled. Zhou Rong laughed hoa.r.s.ely, ”Alright, we're even now.”

He then stood up, clearing his throat. When he spoke again, his voice had returned to normal. ”Comrade Xiao Si, you have three minutes to suit up, and gather downstairs with your weapon!”

Crossing over his body, Zhou Rong walked out of the room. Guo Weixiang was standing in the corridor, waiting. Upon seeing him, Guo Weixiang swept his eyes up and down his body, astonished. ”Rong-ge, you… you're…”

”Can't I wear my clothes to shower?” Zhou Rong spoke fiercely. ”What's the situation now?”

”Huh? Oh. Feng Wentai and his group had knocked the guards out, stealing the keys to the bus, then drove right through the chain fence in the north and causing it to collapse…”

Zhou Rong strode towards the stairs, sighing in his heart.

In this life of mine, it seems like I'll only be able to rely on my right hand.

Half an hour after midnight, on the north side of the factory.

Everyone was in a hurry, running back and forth. The light from the torches swung up and down in the night. A big chunk of the chain fence had fallen in the inky black weeds, and Chuncao was directing the men to attach several rope hooks onto the fence. She herself was holding onto one rope, and she called out, ”Three, two, one—”

”Up!”

Everyone worked in unison, and the distorted chain fence was slowly pulled back up, creaking dangerously. Next, amidst the cries of alarm, it split apart into pieces, and fell back into the mud!

Zhou Rong stopped, and his breath could be seen in the air. ”What's the temperature currently?”

”-5,” Guo Wei Xiang replied. ”There's a drop in the temperature tonight.”

The last ray of moonlight had vanished. Darkness descended upon them, without any light from the moon or the stars. Without the protection of the chain fence, the industrial zone looked endless.

It was so dark that they could see nothing in front of them, and it felt like the yawning gape of a demon was right in ahead.

An uneasy feeling suddenly welled up within Zhou Rong, but he hid his unsettledness. ”What about the guard watching Feng Wentai and his people?”

That guard had been hit severely at the back of his head, and when he was discovered, he was bleeding on the gra.s.s behind the garage, and had yet to gain consciousness. Zhou Rong checked his breathing and his pulse, swearing in a low voice. ”f.u.c.k!”

Guo Weixiang covered the guard with a thick blanket to keep him warm. ”Ding s.h.i.+ has already driven after them, I think he'll soon…”

”It's impossible, it's too late. How could we have let the guard take care of the key to the bus?!”

”The key had originally been kept by Dr. Zheng. Just now, when preparing for the birth, he changed into a set of clean clothes, and handed the key to this person — the relations.h.i.+p between these two people are very good, and he did not expect that he would be a.s.signed to guard Feng Wentai and his people…”

Zhou Rong knew that now was not the time to find out who was to be held accountable, and interrupted Guo Weixiang loudly. ”Chuncao! Gather a group to repair the chain fence as soon as possible, and get Si Nan to bury the gunpowder in the road. Hurry! Where's Si Nan?!”

Chuncao ran to do as instructed, and Guo Weixiang immediately spoke. ”I'll go drive after DDing and call him back!”

”No,” Zhou Rong said abruptly.

He seemed to have suddenly heard something. Raising his hand to stop Guo Weixiang, he slowly walked up ahead.

At the vast edge of the wilderness, and B City was up north. The cold wind blew about the pitch-black darkness. Along with it came mournful wails.

Guo Weixiang watched Zhou Rong's back, anxious and not daring to speak. Just as he was hesitating, he heard two words. ”… Not good.”
