Chapter 144 Countdown

Old Feng looked up dismissively and roared hysterically, "Who is it that's sparing whose life!"

He was extremely unwilling. He was only one step away from his plan, yet he was repeatedly interfered with by Shi Xinxin and the others!

He had prepared this plan for many years, and at the most critical moment, Shi Xinxin had messed it all up. How could Old Feng not go mad!

His bloodshot eyes were extremely cloudy, but one could clearly see the anger and unwillingness within them.

Shi Xinxin pursed her lips. She knew that in his current frenzied state, she wouldn't be able to pry a single word out of him.

She grabbed the three little ones and looked at Sheng Chenjin. "He won't say anything here anyway. Let's take him back and find some professionals to interrogate him."

Sheng Chenjin nodded. He turned and glanced at the bodyguards standing in a line. The bodyguards quickly said, "There's nothing unusual in this warehouse, nor have we found any extra items."

This meant that the batch of agents was not in the warehouse.

Shi Xinxin hadn't held much hope for the warehouse in the first place. She wasn't surprised by this result. She nodded and signaled to the bodyguards who were restraining Old Feng.

Just as the bodyguards were about to drag Old Feng away, his cloudy eyes flickered slightly, showing a hint of light.

"Wait!"

Shi Xinxin's retreating figure stopped. She clenched her fist, narrowed her eyes, and looked at Old Feng. "Are you willing to talk now?"

Old Feng slowly nodded. "As long as you let me leave safely, I'll tell you everything."

These were precisely the words Shi Xinxin most wanted to hear, but she couldn't feel happy at this moment.

Perhaps it was the timing of Old Feng's words, but Shi Xinxin's heart suddenly pounded, and she sensed a subtle sense of danger.

However, this was one of the few times Old Feng was suppressed. Even if his offer was a trap, Shi Xinxin could still make adequate preparations in advance.

But if they missed this opportunity, it was highly likely they would never know about that plan in their lifetime.

Therefore, Shi Xinxin glanced at Sheng Chenjin for his opinion. He also agreed to follow her lead.

"Then tell us, where is that batch of agents?" Shi Xinxin asked, her eyes darkening slightly. "If what you say is true, and I successfully obtain the agents, I can spare your life."

Old Feng curled his lips slightly, revealing an expression Shi Xinxin couldn't decipher.

He seemed to be smiling, yet also sighing. Countless complex emotions were vividly displayed on his face at this moment.

Suddenly, Shi Xinxin's eyes widened.

The countdown sound, hidden in a corner, suddenly grew louder, resounding in everyone's ears, almost deafening!

It was a timed bomb! Ten seconds left until detonation!

"Bomb, run!"

Sheng Chenjin's expression changed. He disregarded everything and quickly pulled Shi Xinxin towards the exit of the warehouse.

The countdown seemed like an invisible monster, closely pursuing them, lingering in everyone's ears, the pervasive fear deeply embedded in their bodies!

Watching the figures running ahead, Old Feng's smile gradually turned sinister. "Farewell, the two of you. Since you always obstructed my plan, this time, why don't we perish together!"

There were only five seconds left until the detonation!

It felt like a gale was blowing past their ears. Shi Xinxin, pulling one child with each hand, and Sheng Chenjin, pulling Xiao Yu with his other hand, were all racing against the countdown to their lives.

At this moment, Xiao Yu braked suddenly and stopped. "Mommy, Daddy, we don't need to run!"

Without waiting for his parents to react, he shouted at the two bodyguards restraining Old Feng behind them, "Get away quickly!"

The countdown reached its final second. The crisp mechanical sound struck everyone's hearts heavily, completely exploding the scene before their eyes!

Boom—

A massive explosion echoed through the empty warehouse!

The tremendous sound seemed to shake the entire ground by a third. Even after the sound faded, the ground still vibrated with residual heat.

Shi Xinxin's pupils widened.

Then came the sound of raging fire, crackling sounds continuing incessantly. In less than a second, flames rose from the warehouse, quickly igniting the surrounding wood and burning fiercer and fiercer!

From a distance, Shi Xinxin watched in astonishment as the burning spot. Old Feng had disappeared in the flames, and the two bodyguards who had escaped in time only sustained minor flesh wounds.

"What… what's going on…" Shi Xinxin was utterly bewildered, standing frozen, her limbs stiff.

She seemed somewhat surprised by Old Feng's disappearance, and somewhat puzzled about where the bomb on him had come from.

Xiao Yu was not surprised at all. He raised the corner of his mouth. "Mommy, I knew this bad guy had planted a bomb to hurt you, so I put the detonator on him in time."

The three little ones had been tied into a car by those big men and brought to this abandoned warehouse.

They recognized Old Feng as Mommy's former master at first sight, but they also knew that Mommy and this master had severed ties. Moreover, he was now holding them hostage, and the children knew they were undoubtedly Mommy's weakest point.

So they tacitly agreed not to speak, not to cause trouble, and absolutely not to bring any threatening problems to Mommy.

Perhaps thinking they were just children, Old Feng didn't deliberately avoid them when setting up the timed bomb.

Instead, he even smiled slightly at the children, saying that when Shi Xinxin arrived, she would be greeted by this powerful bomb.

How could the three little ones tolerate this? So Xiao Yu, with a bunch of tools from his pocket, quietly placed the timed bomb on Old Feng's waistband when Old Feng was not paying attention.

Unexpectedly, Mommy arrived the next second. Old Feng was completely focused on Shi Xinxin and Sheng Chenjin, and was simultaneously restrained by the bodyguards. In his struggles, he naturally didn't notice the timed bomb on his waist.

Thus, when the countdown ended, the bomb on him instantly blasted him five meters away.

Now, in the midst of the fire, it was unknown if he was dead or alive.

So that's how it was. Sheng Chenjin gave his son an appreciative glance and instructed the bodyguards to extinguish the fire and find Old Feng.

Shi Xinxin lowered her eyes. "Xiao Yu, an eye for an eye is right, but you can't hide things from us. Do you know how anxious and worried I was just now?"

Xiao Yu quickly nodded, smiling along with his two older brothers.

The bodyguards brought professional fire-extinguishing tools from the car's trunk. After a burst of smoke, a pungent odor filled the air, and the burning flames were then extinguished along with the smoke.

Shi Xinxin could barely see the scorched black ground and the warped wooden beams.

She took a slight step forward and saw the scorched black Old Feng in a corner.

It seemed like he had sustained a severe injury somewhere on his body, and blood was continuously flowing from the ground where he lay.
