Chapter 339 - 339: Explosion
Nan Yan: ‘
She couldn’t help but feel that it wasn’t that simple. However, she couldn’t directly say that she didn’t believe him.
After a pause, Nan Yan said, “Brother, I want to see you tomorrow morning.”
“Otherwise, I’ll have to come find you.”
She was determined to follow through with her words. No matter where he was, she could find him.
“Alright.”
Qin Lu replied with a calm response. He couldn’t wait any longer and needed to see her in person to feel at ease.
Before hanging up, Qin Lu reminded her of someone, saying, “Shen Junqing should also be in Eireng, Yan Yan. Try to see if you can contact him.”
Nan Yan’s expression shifted slightly. “I understand.”
Bai Chen, who was nearby, overheard the conversation between Qin Lu and Nan Yan. When he heard that Shen Junqing had also arrived in Eireng, his eyebrows raised slightly.
It seemed that the incident with the Jin city flight being grounded was related to him.
After hanging up the phone with Qin Lu, Nan Yan immediately called Shen Junqing. As expected, the call went to voicemail, indicating that the phone was out of the service area.
She then used the Eireng JUN’s communication satellite to contact Shen Junqing.
At that moment, Shen Junqing was in a five-star hotel in Eireng, preparing to send someone to investigate Nan Yan’s whereabouts.
As his phone, which had completely lost its signal, suddenly rang on the coffee table, it startled him.
Shen Junqing turned to look at the phone and let out a sigh of relief. “Tang
Cheng, check why my phone is ringing. Is it an alarm?”
Tang Cheng walked over to the coffee table, picked up the phone, and asked with confusion, “Third Young Master, why is your phone receiving calls? Did you set an alarm?”
“Who is it?”
“It’s a satellite phone.”
Shen Junqing’s voice became low and serious, a departure from his usual carefree demeanor. “Hand it over.”
Tang Cheng quickly handed the phone over.
“Who are you?” Shen Junqing’s voice was deep, and he sounded more serious than usual.
“Are you in Eireng’s territory?” Nan Yan asked straightforwardly. “Yan Yan?” Shen Junqing was surprised. “Why is it you?”
The key question was how she could contact him. Could it be that communication had been restored in Eireng?
Tang Cheng had already attempted to make a phone call with his own phone as soon as Shen Junqing received Nan Yan’s call, but there was no signal. Seeing Shen Junqing looking at him, he shook his head to indicate that it didn’t work. Nan Yan calmly asked, “Third Brother, where are you? Are you in danger?” “I’m at a hotel. Yan Yan, where are you? Are you in a safe place?”
“I’m at a small inn. I initially booked a room at a hotel, but they’re all fully occupied.”
Yan Yan glanced at Bai Chen, who was clearly uncomfortable due to his cleanliness obsession, sighed, and asked, “Brother, do you have any available rooms there? The conditions here are quite poor, and I can’t get used to it.”
Since Shen Junqing was also in Eireng, Nan Yan’s first instinct was to meet with him. If Shen Junqing didn’t come to find her, then she would go find him. After comparing the environments of their temporary accommodations, she leaned toward going to Shen Junqing’s side. At least the hotel would have much better facilities.
“Yes, Yan Yan. Send me your location, and I’ll come pick you up.”
His suite had three rooms in total, and they could make it work with a bit of squeezing.
“Alright.”
Half an hour later, Nan Yan and Bai Chen got into Shen Junqing’s car. Tang Cheng was their driver, taking them back to their original hotel.
Half of Eireng was still under bombardment, and occasional explosions illuminated the sky. Even in the peaceful area, the sound of artillery brought a heavy sense of oppression. Ordinary people wouldn’t leave their rooms unless absolutely necessary. There were no other people on the road, just their lonely car driving through.
Inside the car, Nan Yan asked in a low voice, “Third Brother, why are you here?” Shen Junqing looked at her with a hint of resentment. “Isn’t it because of
If it weren’t for her, why would he leave the extra-large-sized bed at home and come to this place where a bomb could fall at any moment?
“So, did you arrange for the flight to be canceled earlier?”
Shen Junqing smiled awkwardly and said, “Yan Yan, it’s because I was worried about you! If I had known that domestic flights were all grounded and couldn’t stop you, I would have come with you directly.”
Nan Yan understood that his intentions were for her own good, so she didn’t blame him. Gazing quietly outside the window, she whispered, “He might be in danger. I couldn’t just stay away.”
Shen Junqing felt a pang in his heart. That Qin Lu, what a lucky guy to have a girlfriend like Yan Yan. Meanwhile, he could only silently protect the girl he liked without even getting the chance to confess…
Upon hearing this, Bai Chen’s eyes darkened, and his expression became unreadable. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for everyone. None of them, whether it was Nan Yan’s group or Qin Lu, managed to get any sleep.
When the sun finally rose and the first rays of sunlight pierced the sky, an unexpected event occurred.
There was a massive explosion at Caesar’s mansion.
The snipers lying in ambush outside the mansion had retreated at some point.
Qin Yi and his team were on their way to rendezvous with Qin Lu. When they were about a kilometer away from Caesar’s mansion, a violent explosion occurred. The shockwave shattered the windows of their vehicle, and everyone instinctively covered their ears and opened their mouths to prevent their eardrums from bursting.
The vehicles in motion were forced to come to a halt and wait for the explosion to subside.
Qin Yi stared fixedly at the explosion site with a grave and serious expression. His nerves were stretched to the limit.
Qin Lu should still be inside Caesar’s mansion, and that was where the explosion had occurred.
Could Qin Lu be okay?
The thought made him almost breathless.
Qin Lu, you absolutely must be okay!
As the explosion rang out, Nan Yan suddenly stood up.
Dawn was approaching, and there was only a faint light on the eastern horizon, while the rest of the sky remained in darkness.
The explosion had created a towering blaze that illuminated almost half of the sky.
“I’m going over there!” Nan Yan declared.
She had used her phone to pinpoint Qin Lu’s location, and he was over there!
“Yan Yan, there was a major explosion over there. It’s too dangerous!” Shen Junqing and Bai Chen both disagreed with her decision to go there at this time.
“I won’t get close to the explosion site, I’ll just go take a look.”
Nan Yan remained calm, her tone resolute.
Knowing they couldn’t dissuade her, Shen Junqing and Bai Chen couldn’t let her go alone.
So, the group got into a car and headed straight for the explosion site.
The explosion had lasted for about ten minutes.
When it finally subsided, the entire Caesar’s mansion had been reduced to almost level ground.
Qin Yi got out of the car, his steps heavy.
Someone asked in a hushed voice, “Captain, with this place being blown to bits, can Qin Lu still be alive?”
“Qin Lu is lucky, and fortune favors the brave. He must be fine!”
Qin Yi’s voice was stern. “Gather all the men, we must find Qin Lu at all costs!” Alive or… deceased…
Qin Yi was practically on edge all over, trying to take out his phone. He moved his hand several times but couldn’t manage to get the phone out.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and slapped himself in the face, forcing himself to stay rational and not break down prematurely..
