Chapter 178: Explosion
Chapter 178: Explosion
No one expected these two staff members would do such a thing. Chen Laosan and Yang Mi shouted together, “Young Master Tang, be careful!”
Tang Chen reacted quickly. His right hand instantly blocked the dagger in one guy’s hand, while he kicked the other guy in the chest.
“Looking for death!” Tang Chen roared angrily. He punched the guy on the right so hard that he spat out blood, then grabbed him by the neck. He pressed his head down and smashed it onto the ground. With a loud thud, blood splattered. The guy immediately fell unconscious.
“Young Master Tang, watch out!” Chen Bailin yelled from behind, then pushed Tang Chen aside. The guy’s dagger stabbed deeply into Chen Bailin’s chest!
“Bailin!” Yang Haiyue screamed. Tang Chen let out a furious roar, released Chen Bailin, and stepped forward to punch the guy in the head. This bastard reacted quickly, dodged to the side, and kicked hard at Tang Chen’s head.
“Screw your mother, die!” With another furious roar, Tang Chen punched the bastard’s foot. Such a heavy punch sent his whole body flying. As he landed, he rolled on the spot and tried to run out of Junyue.
“Catch him!” Tang Chen ordered, while his body leaped to the ground to chase.
Even without his order, Chen Laosan and the others wouldn’t let this bastard escape. A group of people quickly surrounded him, some grabbing chairs, others picking up plates.
This guy’s skills were top-notch. Faced with so many brothers, he showed no fear. He raised his hands, revealing two sickle-shaped curved blades. With one slash, he cut down two brothers, and at the same time, he attacked Yu Tianyi with his blade.
Yu Tianyi stepped back a few paces and threw a punch. However, the guy dodged several punches and kicked him flying. He then stomped hard on Chen Laosan’s stomach, leaped like a big bird, flipped in the air, landed on the ground, and quickly rolled away. With a flick of his right hand, he threw a round electronic detonator inside.
“Bomb, take cover!” Tang Chen roared again. He kicked over a table, pushed Yang Mi down, and rolled with her to hide behind the table. The others also scrambled for cover.
Boom!
An explosion sounded. The massive shockwave shattered the glass in the windows and doors, and overturned all the tables and chairs. The scene was in chaos.
“Young Master Tang, Mrs. Tang, are you both alright?” Chen Laosan and the others were all injured as they ran toward Tang Chen.
Tang Chen hugged the terrified Yang Mi and stood up, then shook his head and said, “I’m fine. Is everyone else okay?”
Chen Laosan and the others looked at each other and nodded. Yang Mi bit her lower lip and said sadly, “Tang Chen, Chen Bailin…”
Tang Chen’s heart ached. He quickly ran to Chen Bailin, who was already unconscious, the dagger still stuck in his chest. Yang Haiyue held him, crying loudly, her wedding dress and everything else in tatters.
“What are you standing around for? Chen Laosan, Yu Tianyi, hurry up and take Bailin to the hospital! You must save him for me, or none of you come back to see me!”
Tang Chen felt suppressed, his fists clenched tightly. He roared loudly. Chen Laosan and the others could see that Young Master Tang was enraged. They quickly ran over, carried Chen Bailin out, and sent him to the hospital. Yang Mi also followed. Yang Haiyue was on the verge of collapse; she needed another woman to comfort her properly.
“Old Pang!” Tang Chen scanned the area and coldly shouted.
“Young Master Tang, Young Master Tang, I’m here. I’m glad you’re okay, glad you’re okay.” Boss Pang was covered in dust, his clothes torn here and there.
Thud!
Without a word, Tang Chen stepped forward and kicked Boss Pang in the stomach. The tremendous force sent Boss Pang flying several meters, where he lay twitching on the ground.
“How dare you answer? I’ve treated you well, so why are you doing this to me?” Tang Chen roared, leaped over, and kicked the struggling Boss Pang back to the ground. The guy was arranged by him; only he was suspicious!
Boss Pang struggled to stand up, shaking his head vigorously, and pleaded, “No, Young Master Tang, I had no idea about this incident. You have to believe me, I’m innocent!”
“Innocent my ass!” Tang Chen cursed, his words cold and deliberate. “It was supposed to be a happy celebration, but you had to arrange that bouquet toss. And now look! They just got married! Pang Zetian, I’m telling you, if anything happens to Chen Bailin, I’ll kill you to accompany him in death!”
Thump!
Boss Pang knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face in desperation, and said pitifully, “Young Master Tang, please believe me, it really wasn’t me. I’m being framed. I’ve always been loyal to you; how could I do such a thing? Besides, if I really wanted to kill you, why wouldn’t I leave early instead of waiting for the bomb to kill me?”
Tang Chen saw that Boss Pang was of advanced age, crying so pitifully in front of him, and his anger subsided a bit. He snorted coldly and said, “No matter what, you’re still the most suspicious. But considering how long you’ve been with me, I won’t punish you for now. Wait until I find the real culprit. But before that, go call the police quickly.”
“Yes, yes.” Boss Pang thanked him profusely, got up, and ran out.
Ring ring!
The mobile phone rang at an inappropriate time. Tang Chen answered with a cold face and said, “Who is it?”
“Hehe, Tang Chen, did you like the gift I just gave you?” The voice on the other end was sinister and unpleasant to hear.
Tang Chen’s eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, “You’re dead, grandson! Don’t let me find you!” After saying that, he smashed the mobile phone on the ground and walked straight out the door.
Tang Chen got directly into the Extravagant Battle Car. He was furious. On the day his subordinate was getting married, someone had come to assassinate him. Not only that, but they also dared to throw an electronic detonator inside Junyue. This was a direct challenge to him.
“System, find out where that bastard is right now. I have to kill him!” Tang Chen was beyond enraged; only that grandson’s blood could calm him down.
System: “Respected Host, I am deeply saddened by such a major incident, but as I’ve said before, I hope you don’t take things too far.”
“Shut up! Today, I must kill him!” Tang Chen couldn’t be bothered to waste more words with the damn system. In short, that bastard must die!
The System sighed helplessly, remained silent for a moment, and then said, “Respected Host, based on the location of that call, it can be determined that he is currently about five kilometers away at Mingshan Reservoir.”
“Okay, got it.” Knowing the grandson’s current location, Tang Chen didn’t plan to waste any more time. He started the Extravagant Battle Car, activated the auto-navigation, and thought, “You bastard, just wait for me to come take your worthless life!”
Mingshan Reservoir wasn’t too far from the city. It had beautiful scenery and was considered a scenic spot. At that moment, a black car was parked on the bridge over the reservoir. The guy who had attacked Tang Chen earlier was there. He pulled down his mask, revealing a relatively young face. This person was the owner of Dragon Phoenix Gambling Hall, Fu Yanjie!
Fu Yanjie checked the time on his phone and muttered to himself, “He should be here soon. Tang Chen, you should thank me for finding you such a well-fengshui destination.” As he spoke, he took out a small green bottle containing green liquid, then produced a glass syringe.
“This is the first use of a new product. Tang Chen, you should be honored to be the first sacrifice of the new era!” Saying this, Fu Yanjie unbuttoned his shirt, drew all the green liquid into the syringe, gritted his teeth, and stabbed it directly into his chest.
“Hiss!” Fu Yanjie winced in pain. After the liquid fully entered his body, he tossed the syringe aside. He felt his heart beating violently, as if there was an energy inside him needing to be released.
Vroom vroom!
The sound of a car engine approached. Tang Chen drove up, steered onto the bridge, turned off the engine, and stepped out. He looked at the car in front of him and shouted loudly, “Grandson, I’ve come to take your life!”
Fu Yanjie chuckled coldly, then stepped on the accelerator. The car zoomed directly toward Tang Chen.
