Everyone looked in the direction of the explosion The bus driver and Gua One, who knew it came from where they were headed, ieted at us,” Gua One said as soon as he got close
The driver behind hi the distance and the time of the explosion, if we didn't delay, ould've definitely got caught in it”
Before they even spoke, Gua Three called Old Ghost's deputy, but themore and more uneasy, he lowered the phone and turned to Lian Jun ”Jun-shao”
Lian Jun looked away fro of orders, ”Call Old Ghost and tell him about the explosion; inforovern the scene; get everyone off the bus and in the jeeps, with separate protection detail; adjust the convoy for the bus to be in the center After five minutes, we'll set off for the explosion site”
At his commands, everyone's unsettled hearts iot busy
shi+ Jin kept quiet until they were alone, then asked, ”Why are aiting for fiveit takes for the official rescue units to arrive We need them to be our cover,” Lian Jun explained ”Usually, if the first attack isn't successful, a second will follow If we rush in immediately, we're likely to fall into the enemy's trap and be hit by the second wave of aet there, they aren't likely to attack rashly The more cautious ones sound a retreat the moment they see an official rescue teahtened Unexpectedly, even in such a situation, he learned so new
Lian Jun abruptly added, ”It turns out that old adage is right: luck is also a kind of skill”
shi+ Jin's heart skipped a beat He iht? Our luck seery? You haven't eaten anything since you got off the plane I reerator on the bus with food inside—do you want soe of topic that even the densest person would notice it, but Lian Jun's IQ see shi+ Jin for a few seconds, he went along with the change of subject, allowing himself to be distracted
Five minutes later, the convoy headed towards the explosion site, keeping the bus in the middle of the formation
The explosion had been so loud thatin disbelief toward the still-s closer as all the rescue departress Bar is translated by Betwixted Translations The site you're reading this chapter on stole our translation
shi+ Jin glanced out theas if observing the situation, but in fact, he was checking the progress bars in his h of relief
Since the bars didn't budge, the a the official rescue forces There was no danger ahead
Ten minutes later, they arrived at the explosion site
It was a spacious private villa with a large yard Right now, the building was in ruins Ravaged with fire, the front yard was a ed by the blast of air and debris froates were askew, and some of the debris scattered on the street outside The scene was quiet—nothing could be heard except for the crackling of flames There were no visible people inside
Police cars, aines parked around the villa, and nearby residents ca to see the excitement The situation looked rather chaotic
Gua One make the team stop on a quiet street not far away, then called Gua Three Together, they escorted the official liaisons to the villa and approached the local rescue personnel
Gua Five also got out, taking a look around with a few others After deteruard Lian Jun's car
shi+ Jin, so buff After catching sight of a gri a body bag out of the villa, he couldn't help but ask, ”Jun-shao, do you think there was someone inside when the explosion occurred?”
Lian Jun also saw the commotion at the rescue scene He looked at shi+ Jin's unconsciously heavy expression, kept silent for a ly He said, ”shi+ Jin, I don't want to lie to you… If you stay with s People who lead their lives in the darkness can lose them at any moment”
It was a euphehtened, and his brow furrowed He didn't say anything else
The liaisons and the rescue workers couldn't seereement More than ten minutes later, after an inconspicuous car successfully evaded all the news media and quietly stopped near the villa, they were finally allowed to access the site and investigate inside
Permission won, Gua One and Gua Three immediately turned and went to find Lian Jun while the three officials walked towards the low-key car, where their true battle would be fought
While selecting people to enter the villa, Lian Jun asked about shi+ Jin's intentions, saying if he wanted to, he could stay in the car and wait for their news
shi+ Jin did not hesitate to go, his attitude firht not be able to deal with the nighter Besides, since he wanted to be with Lian Jun, how could he let hi, always taken care of by his lover?
Seeing hi more
In the end, there were five people chosen to enter the villa, na Fei Yujing asked for it hiht now; since the accoed had clearly been problematic, and Old Ghost's deputy's fate was unknown, he felt obliged to go in on behalf of Old Ghost
shi+ Jin eyed Fei Yujing, whose expression was still perfectly nors and a few bottles of water
While local rescue workers were holding off the media, they took the chance to rush into the villa Inside, they first surveyed the ht to the house
As they walked, Gua One observed, ”The source of explosion was in the center of the building—the debris in the yard is too evenly distributed for it to have come from outside”
”Then it seems the enemy had control of the villa,” Gua Three said
The fire caused by the explosion was already extinguished by the firefighters Police and the rescue workers bustled around the ruins, fro inside, their expressions invariably ugly
There was no need to wonder about the bags' contents—they were bodies, or pieces of bodies
shi+ Jin was silent, his heart heavy
As they approached the main entrance, there was a sudden commotion in the corner of the yard When they turned to look, they saw a group of rescue workers, pointing and saying so at and saw a tree severely da blood
He i his emotions
As a former policeman, he had seen even worse and more bloody scenes, but these experiences had clearly not been enough for him to be able to keep his cal like this
Everyone obviously saw the tree and as on it Gua One and Gua Three were completely unruffled: for them, this picture was not worth even a raised eyebrow Lian Jun, too—he was the boss of an underworld organization after all Fei Yujing's reaction was the biggest; though his expression didn't change, his action of ilasses revealed his disco the wheelchair, Lian Jun said, ”I can ask Gua One to send you out and bring in Gua Five instead”
”I'o in—we shouldn't waste time, or the rescue workers will inadvertently destroy clues”
So Lian Jun didn't say anything naled for everyone to continue into the villa
Fei Yujing glanced at shi+ Jin with a frown, as if surprised by his calm
The situation in the house orse than any of them expected Almost every piece of furniture was reduced to shreds The roo one wall, and the still-standing ones were scorched and covered in re they could see bore burnt ray ash floated in the air Black and crimson lumps of flesh which used to be parts of human bodies were scattered around the roos The smell of blood, fire, charred meat, and whatever explosives had caused the explosionstench
shi+ Jin held his breath, suppressing rising nausea He borrowed several filter masks from the rescue workers and distributed them to his companions
Gua One and Gua Three took the masks, somewhat surprised by shi+ Jin's co ht even if he didn't run at first glance, he would still be upset or terrified They never expected hihtfully ask for masks
Well, perhaps it was the power of love
As they thought this, their gazes fell on Lian Jun, the first person to receive a er
