552 Package Bomb (2/2)

Without time to alert Xia Shiyu, he ripped off the tape on the paper box between his arms.

Almost instantaneously, Ayesha who realized the oddity of the situation immediately stopped the optical illusion and lifted Xia Shiyu around the waist into the washroom in the hallway around the corner to avoid the flame that instantly engulfed the room. Jiang Chen who had the ominous feel took out the Nitrogen Armor to blow away the explosive shockwave.

He threw the Nitrogen Armor back into the storage dimension and sat up from the bed that had been blown in half and patted away the dust on his shoulder. He was relieved seeing the hallway in mayhem but without blood.

Fortunately, Ayesha never left the room from start to finish, or Xia Shiyu would not have survived in the explosion.

When he thought about the explosion almost hurting the person dear to him, Jiang Chen was furious. He swore that regardless who planned this attack, he will make that person pay.

”Ayesha.”

”Yes.”

”They should not be operating alone. There should be accomplices nearby… Find them.”

Jiang Chen did not believe that a person's effort alone could sneak into the foreign delegate hotel under several layers of protection.

”Yes.”

Ayesha gently put Xia Shiyu on the ground and smiled at her who was still recovering from the blast. She then opened the optical illusion and disappeared in the room.

Xia Shiyu stared at the unfathomable scene that had just happened in front of her as she murmured blankly.

”Dis…disappeared…”

Jiang Chen kneeled down beside Xia Shiyu and looked at her apologetically.

”I'm sorry that you encountered this… The enemy is clearing targeting me. You've seen that Future Group has a lot of enemies, and among them are people who are willing to use extreme methods. If you're scared…”

Xia Shiyu who recollected her thought shook her head rapidly and tried to be brave.

”Do you think I'm a scaredy-cat?”

Jiang Chen took a second to process before he started laughing.

”Don't force yourself to be brave. You're so scared.”

Jiang Chen reached out to Xia Shiyu who was shaking.

Xia Shiyu rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen and grabbed onto his hand with force before getting up from the ground.

Sirens broadcasted loudly outside of the window before the sound of cluttered footsteps came from outside. Several bodyguards and special forces with pistols entered the room and bumped into Jiang Chen and Xia Shiyu walking out from the washroom.

When they saw them, the commander Cheng Hu forced his way to the front and looked anxiously at Jiang Chen.

”Are you okay?”

”Just like what you saw, we happened to be in the washroom, so luckily survived.”

When Xia Shiyu heard Jiang Chen's description, her cold and elegant face was covered by a red hue. The way he said it was easy for other people to misinterpret. For example what reason would make the two ”coincidentally” stay in the washroom together?

But she was clearing overthinking, no one thought that way.

The foreign delegation was the target of a suicidal terrorist attack, it would be a global scandal if released! Everyone here focused on the actual attack.

Cheng Hu took a deep breath, lowered his head, and said.

”I apologize for you encountering such a dangerous event. We'll do our absolute best to find the perpetrator behind this attack and give you an answer!”

”That would be great.” Jiang Chen nodded expressionlessly.

The manager of the hotel arranged a new room for Jiang Chen and began the follow-up procedures.

When Jiang Chen left the original room, Cheng Hu immediately ordered security and agents to conduct a carpet search in the room while interrogating all hotel workers separately. Just as he swore he would flip the hotel upside down, a black shadow appeared.

At the same time, two sets of eyes spotted him.
