Chapter 159: Setting a Trap for the Shura

Back to Chapter List
?Phone reading Boom… Another medicine cabinet exploded, sending hundreds of glass shards flying toward the crowd, cries of alarm rising. The explosion at the Eighty Electronic Book didn’t slow down the leaders’ escape; on the contrary, these plump executives ran even faster. Especially Lian Mingfei, who, weighing just under 90 kilograms at barely 1.7 meters tall, left Wang Changling far behind. Mei Hui and Fang Fang advanced toward the safety corridor, protected by the employees, while Qin Feng, as a solid, dependable man, took charge of maintaining order. Thanks to his steady presence, no stampede occurred—everyone, except the officials, evacuated in a well-organized manner. He was the last one standing on the safety corridor, looking back at the wreckage of the office area, wondering who had done this—whom did the Qin Group have a grudge against? Just as he paused in thought, an explosion suddenly erupted ahead. Boom… A powerful shockwave surged forward, lifting him into the air and hurling him backward uncontrollably. Fortunately, having undergone such training, he remained calm, steadying himself just as his body was about to touch the ground, then rolled sideways upon landing, narrowly avoiding debris such as concrete blocks thrown by the explosion. Man, is this really that severe? The safety corridor has been reduced to a complete ruin. The entire floor is shrouded in smoke, with damaged lighting fixtures and wires occasionally sparking. He shook his head, brushing off dust and ash from his hair, then stood up. From the intensity of the explosion, it's clear that the bomb's power is exceptional—something not typically accessible to ordinary citizens in the harmonious realm of the Celestial Dynasty. The sources are limited to two channels: either from the military or through smuggling. Regardless of the source, the equipment falls squarely within the category of standard military-issue supplies. Furthermore, the sequence and location of the explosions clearly indicate that the bomb was remotely triggered. Who has the nerve to install bombs inside the building so subtly that no one even notices? It's certain that this person is one of the company's key members. By capitalizing on the visit of the Municipal Committee leadership, he's orchestrating a terror incident—on the severe side, he's aiming to push Qin Group into an irreversible crisis. He took a deep breath, calming his racing heart. His sharp eyes noticed that a small red light on a column several meters away began flashing, its pace gradually accelerating. Wow! There's more! He forcefully kicked the ground with both legs, leaping forward like a fish. At that moment, the light transitioned from flashing to steady illumination, followed immediately by a powerful explosion. Though he managed to dodge in time, his right leg was struck by a large chunk of concrete embedded with rebar, sending him into a steady stream of blood and drenched in cold sweat. Crackle… thunder… The ceiling above him collapsed entirely, crushing him into the wreckage. A pair of eyes, positioned not far behind a nearby column, closely monitored the scene of the ruin. Not long after, Qin Feng's urgent voice came through from the rubble: "Hey, is this Huihui? My leg's broken—I was crushed under the ceiling and can't move. Hey, can you hear me? Don't come up yet—there must be other bombs still here. I was already beneath the rubble; another explosion won't reach me. Get the police bomb disposal team up—I can hold on! Don't worry, I'm not hurt anywhere else." A look of great relief instantly appeared in her eyes—her leg was broken, so her strength must have taken a serious hit. The woman stepped out from behind the pillar, wearing a black blouse and black pants, with a large-frame protective visor over her face. She was a strong, dynamic woman. At the spot where she had been standing, a haphazard pile of mixed black-and-white clothes lay scattered. Her long hair was simply tied into a ponytail. From her facial features and sharp chin, it was clear that this woman was the HR Manager Luoman. Or, perhaps, she should be called Shu Luo—the foremost of the Four Heavenly Warriors of the Birth Gate. A month ago, she received a command from Master Lei: infiltrate the Qin Group, reach its management core, work alongside Zhong Hu to take down the company, and at the same time, eliminate Qin Feng to avenge the Thunder Dragon and the White Wolf. She deliberately stepped with a loud rhythm, ensuring that the voices of those in the ruins were clear and distinct. "Who is it? Who's out there? I'm Qin Feng—please save me!" Qin Feng's cry soon echoed through the ruins. She had been waiting for exactly these words. With graceful movements, she removed her glasses, laughed three times before speaking, "Qin Feng, don't you find that your current situation is entirely your own fault? Saving you is truly a farce. Today, I'm going to kill you." "Who are you? Your voice sounds so familiar—aren't you Luo Man?" "Hahaha! Why didn't you call me Xiao Luomian?" Luo Man beamed with pride, stepping firmly on the ruins, "After being played for so long, I've finally taken the reins. It feels absolutely wonderful." "Luo Man, why did you have to harm me?" "How could I possibly have treated you so badly by playing pranks on you with your tofu, and still end up like this?" Roman's face tightened. "Grandma isn't as petty as you think. Let me tell you the truth—I'm here to avenge Zhong Hu, so you'll finally understand what's at stake." "Don't be so dramatic," the female manager cut in, interrupting him. "The police must have already surrounded this place. They might even send in special forces. By then, you'll have killed me and there's no way I'll escape." "Hah! How could I possibly fail to escape? The emergency demolition team takes fifteen minutes to arrive—already quite fast. In this amount of time, you'd have to kill me a hundred times to make it. Even if they show up right now, I can easily kill you first, then feign being knocked unconscious by the blast, and leave as a victim. Not only will I escape suspicion, but I'll also receive compensation." "Really?" This time, the voice came from behind Roman. She spun around suddenly, quickly drawing her pistol from her waist, only to see Qin Feng's silhouette flash by—her chance to fire had slipped away. "Qin—you're unharmed!" she pointed the gun at where he had been standing. "Hmm, are you furious?" Qin's young lord spoke with a relaxed tone, "Do you think I've deceived you?" Luo Man walked forward gently, speaking with conviction, "Isn't that right? I always thought you were a man of principle—yet in the end, you've proven to be a petty player." "Perhaps it's you who've deceived me all along," Qin Feng replied with a quiet smile, "You treat others as if they're merely tools, but when you're deceived yourself, you find it unbearable. What kind of logic is that? Since you've arrived at Qin Group, haven't you consistently provided intelligence on Wu Dong—from the initial audit all the way to your ambush last night? Can you honestly claim you haven't been a petty player?" Luo Man chuckled coldly, "Does it matter now? Can you even match me in this confrontation?" "As you wish!" Qin Feng's voice once again echoed behind Luo Man. This time, she hadn't even fully turned around before firing. Thump, thump, thump... The bullets struck in the direction that covered the possible area where Qin Feng could be.
