Just as he picked up the battery, the man outside the elevator ended his call. He was wearing a suit and had the demeanor of a leader. He apologized, “Sorry, I had something urgent and didn’t see you coming out of the elevator! Is your camera alright?”
“How did you…” The camera guy was about to flare up. However, his voice immediately softened once he saw the man in front of him. “Vice-President? It’s alright, it’s alright… it just fell to the floor! No worries! My camera is st.u.r.dy! Hur hur…”
Lin Nuan’s hands clenched into fists as she looked towards the vice-president who gave off a mature vibe.
Lin Nuan had just started working at Jinjiang TV Station. She didn’t sign a contract with them, so she wasn’t familiar with the upper management of the TV station. She only thought that this vice-president was too young.
“Will you excuse us?” Ah Zhan looked at the two men blocking the doors and spoke to them impatiently.
“Sorry, sorry!” The camera guy looked over at Ah Zhan’s bleeding leg. He took his camera and hurriedly walked out of the elevator. He looked terrified of Ah Zhan.
“Ms. Lin, this way, please…”
Ah Zhan brought Fu Tianci out of the elevator.
Fu Tianci was unhappy with Ah Zhan holding onto his shoulders. He frowned and tried to shake Ah Zhan’s hands away, but Ah Zhan only tightened his hold on his shoulders, as if he was going to crush them. This was a warning to him.
Lin Nuan and the others were led into a minivan.
Ah Zhan and Fu Tianci got into another car.
Before he got into the car, Ah Zhan glanced in the direction of the elevator. The vice-president got into the elevator, while the camera guy stood in the lobby. After inserting the battery into the camera, the camera guy turned it on and took a test photo. He seemingly made sure the camera was fine before hurriedly running out of the lobby and towards the corridor on the right that led to the parking lot.
“Drive!” Ah Zhan said.
At that moment, Ah Zhan wasn’t afraid of Fu Huai’an knowing what he did. Li Muyang was going to lose his life already, so what did he have to fear?
…
The camera guy got into a black Lincoln MKC, then removed the camera from around his neck and placed it in the front pa.s.senger seat. He drove out of the bas.e.m.e.nt garage and quickly went around to the entrance on the first floor of the Jinjiang TV Station building.
The bespectacled puppy guy who had b.u.mped into Mu Taotao upstairs and the vice-president got into the car as well.
The puppy guy pulled open the front pa.s.senger door and moved the camera before sitting inside. As he closed the door, the camera guy, who was at the wheel, said, “Copy. Lackey has a bomb on him! He should be holding that boy hostage. I saw Lackey and the boy get into a car, Boss! I think we can just rescue Big Boss first! We’d at least ensure her safety…”
“If we could do that, Mu Taotao would have done so just now!” The puppy guy’s voice was deep. “We should observe the situation for now and wait for news from Mu Taotao. Did Team G catch up to Big Boss?”
The vice-president, who was sitting in the backseat, was wearing an in-ear microphone. He said, “They already caught up to her! Though, it would be fine even if they didn’t, as I already placed a tracker on Lackey’s car on the way.”
The “vice-president” Wei Xiao opened up his laptop, and his fingers danced quickly across the keyboard. He opened up a page and handed the laptop over to the puppy guy. “Boss… Lackey should be taking Big Boss back to Jincheng!”
Images filled the entire screen. There was dashcam footage from Ah Zhan’s car on one side of the screen and the navigation map on the other.
Ah Zhan had four minivans with him. Lin Nuan’s minivan and his and Fu Tianci’s minivan were in the center.
The puppy guy looked at the footage and narrowed his eyes. He glanced at the map and said, “Wei Xiao, inform Team G and think of a way to break the formation of Lackey’s fleet on the congested Qujiang Road. You must block the cars in front of and behind Big Boss’s car and get Big Boss to a secure location to ensure her safety. Then we’ll think of a way to save the boy with Lackey!”
A phone vibrated, and the puppy guy took it out and answered the call. Something was said over the phone, and the puppy guy’s expression became serious. “Okay! I understand!”
“Wei Xiao, tell Team G that they must rescue Big Boss at Qujiang Road!” the puppy guy said in a deep voice.
…
At that moment, Lin Nuan sat in the backseat. A thin layer of sweat formed on her palms as she watched the minivan inch forward.
She looked at Mu Taotao, who was beside her, from the corner of her eye. Although she didn’t know Mu Taotao’s true ident.i.ty, from her interactions with Mu Taotao until today, she at least hadn’t done anything unfavorable to her.
Lin Nuan looked over at the burly foreign men in front of her again and asked You Nainai in a low voice, “Are you confident in helping Fu Tianci to escape later?”
You Nainai turned to look at Lin Nuan. Before she could respond, she heard Mu Taotao say, “Sister Nuan… Lackey has a CL-20 on him. That’s currently the most powerful non-nuclear explosive in existence. Its blast speed is over 9500 meters per second. That makes it dozens of times more powerful than a TNT explosive. If you want to leave, we can leave right now. However, if you insist on bringing the child with you alive, that will be harder to do…”
Lackey? Was she referring to Ah Zhan?
Not willing to give up hope, Lin Nuan looked towards You Nainai. You Nainai nodded.
Lin Nuan was extremely panicked. A young lady with flyers in her hand knocked on the door to the driver’s seat. The man wearing a black suit in the driver’s seat waved at the young lady.
The young lady refused to give up and continued to plead pitifully with the man. The young lady was probably too cute, and the burly man saw that it would take over 90 seconds for the traffic light to turn green, so he rolled down the car window and reached out to take a flyer…
As soon as the car window was rolled down, the young lady suddenly elbowed the driver. The driver was completely unprepared and hence knocked out.
Before the man in the front pa.s.senger seat could react, the door to the front pa.s.senger seat was pulled open, and he was dragged out of the car. He instantly disappeared from view!
Lin Nuan’s heart leaped up to her throat, and her mind was in a mess. Before she could comprehend what was going on, the sliding door of the minivan opened…
You Nainai reacted quickly and promptly protected Lin Nuan.
“They’re one of us!” Mu Taotao got up, grabbed Lin Nuan’s wrist, and said, “Let’s go, Sister Nuan!”
Lin Nuan was utterly confused, and her heart was beating wildly. She felt like she was in a dream…
Mu Taotao and You Nainai helped her out of the minivan. Seeing as the man in the front pa.s.senger seat had been dragged out, the young lady slowly and steadily sat in the driver’s seat.
As soon as she got out of the minivan, she stepped into a minibus.
The minibus had clearly switched lanes and cut into the straight line of vehicles. Printed on the minibus were the words “Express Delivery.”
Those people did all of that in just 90 seconds. Their movements were agile and practiced. It was as if they were acting based on their instincts!
“Big Boss has been rescued…”
As soon as Lin Nuan got on the bus, she saw the driver press on the headset at his ear. She didn’t know who he was talking to.
In the car behind.
Ah Zhan frowned as he looked at the minibus in front of his minivan. He tried to call his men again as Fu Tianci nagged…
“What is it that you want? Money? Give the phone to me, and I’ll call my dad… My dad will give you as much money as you want!” Fu Tianci saw that he couldn’t do things the hard way and thus negotiated with Ah Zhan. “For me, Lin Nuan, and the two young ladies with her, I’ll give you ten million in total. Is that enough?”
