The look in Ye Nanshen’s eyes sharpened abruptly as he suddenly stood up from his wheelchair. Without wasting a second, he grabbed Rong Qi and dashed toward the exit. But a man’s speed couldn’t outrun an explosion. They had barely reached the doorway when a thunderous boom echoed from behind them. The machinery and equipment inside the factory were blasted into smithereens.
Fortunately, the attackers had hastily set up the explosives, which weren’t powerful enough to cause a ma.s.sive explosion. However, it was enough to set the factory ablaze. Flames soared high into the sky, rushing toward them like a ferocious beast.
“Master Shen, Madam, get out of here now!” Xu Yi, who was the last to leave, yelled at them, standing his ground.
“What are you waiting for, Xu Yi? Move!” Ye Nanshen snapped back at Xu Yi, his voice icy.
Ignoring the warning, Xu Yi turned and ran into the flames. He said, “I need to shut off the valve; otherwise, we’re all in danger.”
The factory used to deal with volatile ga.s.ses, filled with highly flammable and explosive materials. Shutting off the valve was essential to prevent further catastrophe.
“Xu Yi!” Ye Nanshen clenched his fists and scowled, but his expression soon twisted in pain. Grasping his chest, he suddenly fell to one knee.
“Shen!” Rong Qi supported Ye Nanshen, threading her arm under his armpit to lift him up. “Let’s go, I’ll get you out of here!”
Just then, the factory door crashed down with a resounding clang, narrowly missing the couple.
“Little Qi, leave me. Save yourself,” Ye Nanshen insisted, trying to push Rong Qi away.
Rong Qi chuckled sarcastically. “Are you staging a tearful goodbye with me, Master Shen? We’re so close to the exit; you think I can’t get you out?”
Disregarding Ye Nanshen’s objections, Rong Qi held onto him and dodged the flames, rushing toward safety. Escaping the factory didn’t pose much of a challenge, and Rong Qi managed to bring Ye Nanshen to safety in no time.
Outside, Gu Ziye and Lu Chengzhou were anxiously waiting for them. The sight of the couple brought immense relief to their faces. However, at that very moment, Lu Chengzhou screamed, “Shen, look out!”
One of the captured men had seized the chaos to escape. Standing behind Ye Nanshen, he swung a stick down with all his might. Rong Qi’s eyes narrowed as she swiftly switched places with Ye Nanshen. But due to Ye Nanshen’s frail state, she couldn’t dodge in time. Embracing him, she took the full brunt of the blow on her back.
“Ah…” A m.u.f.fled groan escaped Rong Qi’s lips.
‘d.a.m.n it, that hurts like h.e.l.l!’ Rong Qi cursed inwardly.
“Little Qi!” A dangerous glint flashed across Ye Nanshen’s pale face as he caught Rong Qi who was slowly collapsing. His eyes flickered momentarily, their depths tinged with a startling shade of crimson.
Before the attacker could comprehend what had just happened, he found himself kicked by Ye Nanshen into the flaming inferno behind him.
“AH!”
A chilling scream filled the air, making everyone tremble in fear.
“Rong Rong! Rong Rong! Open your eyes.” Ye Nanshen’s crimson eyes stared intently at the woman in his arms, his entire being radiating a menacing aura.
“This is bad,” Lu Chengzhou and Gu Ziye exchanged glances, ready to subdue Ye Nanshen. But before they could get close, a single glare from Ye Nanshen froze them in their tracks.
“Shen, please calm down. Let me check on Rong Qi; I’m a doctor. I can help her,” Lu Chengzhou hesitated, then pleaded with Ye Nanshen.
Lu Chengzhou thought if the crowd behind them were to see Ye Nanshen’s red eyes, it would spell disaster.
Cold and unyielding, Ye Nanshen studied Lu Chengzhou for a moment before saying, “Fine, come here.”
Relieved, Lu Chengzhou cautiously approached Ye Nanshen to see if he was himself. Yet, Lu Chengzhou had no confidence to check on that. At the same time, Lu Chengzhou sent a coded glance to Gu Ziye.
Getting the message, Gu Ziye ordered his men to take away the prisoners and extinguish the fire, leaving the clearing in a state of nervous antic.i.p.ation. Then, Gu Ziye anxiously stared at Ye Nanshen..
