Chapter 610: Chapter 610: Dr. Qiao, You Are Now My Hostage Chapter 610: Chapter 610: Dr. Qiao, You Are Now My Hostage “If I’m to die, then let’s all die together!”

Li Nanfeng scanned the people present with a resentful gaze and sneered menacingly, “One is a chairman of Shengqiao Group, one a Professor Qiao, my dear nephew, and a Doctor Qiao as well. Even in death, I could bring you all with me–it wouldn’t be a loss!”

Everyone looked at the crazed Li Nanfeng, not daring to make a move, the atmosphere at a complete standstill, afraid that Li Nanfeng really had planted explosives around them.

Time ticked by slowly, and the air seemed to solidify.

But no one made a move.

After a long while, Li Hanzhou suddenly chuckled, his laugh full of mockery and disdain, “You wouldn’t dare. You’re too afraid of death to actually go through with it; otherwise, I wouldn’t be here.”

Although he said this, he instinctively took hold of Qiao Yun’s hand, drawing her close and fiercely protecting her.

Qiao Yun was slightly taken aback, glancing up at the man with a stern expression but not pulling her hand away.

His large hand holding her smaller one felt somewhat warm.

Just like the warmth spreading over her heart, seemingly ushering a warm current that filled her limbs with joy.

Qiao Yun couldn’t quite understand this feeling, but she was acutely aware that she was very happy at the moment.

Perhaps as a way to repay the man’s protection, she promised in a soft and tender voice, “Don’t be afraid, if it really explodes, I’ll protect you.”

Li Hanzhou looked down at her, amused by the sincerity in her eyes, and chuckled, “Alright, you can protect me.”

Qiao Yun was content, indeed a qualified and good friend.

As they whispered quietly to each other, Li Nanfeng’s expression shifted slightly, his gaze toward Li Hanzhou filled with spite and jealousy.

Pei Ya was not familiar with Li Nanfeng, feeling like the man was a lunatic, nothing he did appeared sane.

Now, hearing Li Hanzhou’s words, he sighed with great relief.

He then mocked, “Exactly, someone who fears death couldn’t possibly wish to die with us.”

All the effort made, the desire to live, no one would easily give up their life.

That shows he was lying.

Li Nanfeng started to chuckle lowly and said to Li Hanzhou, “You’re right, I indeed fear death, but I want to die with you even more. My lifetime of misery is all thanks to you, it’s better to die together than to fall into your hands.”

With those words, his hand moved swiftly to his chest as if reaching for something.

Zhou You’s mind buzzed, not thinking at all, he immediately went to grab Li Nanfeng’s hand. But at that moment, he heard Li Nanfeng’s light chuckle.

Dammit!

Zhou You had just realized he might have fallen for a trap when his wrist was suddenly seized, and the person who had seemed too weak to stand up from the wheelchair suddenly rose, landing a punch in his stomach.

Zhou You winced in pain. The next second, he was pinned down by Li Nanfeng, a gun pressed against his temple.

Triumph spread across Li Nanfeng’s face, “Doctor Qiao, now you are my hostage.”

He looked at the frowning Li Hanzhou, a deep chuckle emanating from his throat, “Surprised that I can stand up? Do you have any idea how much effort I had to put in to stand again!”

His legs were beyond saving, only fitted with prostheses.

But his physical condition simply did not allow for extensive rehabilitation.

The immense effort he had put in to stand up again over the years, how could he be content with being defeated by Li Hanzhou just like that.

He looked at Qiao Xun, whose eyes were filled with hatred, and sneered, “Qiao Xun, if you had been a bit more ruthless and killed me outright, you wouldn’t be under my control now.”

Qiao Xun didn’t speak, just glared fiercely at the arrogant man before him.

“You won’t get out alive! You’re nothing but a loser under Li Hanzhou’s command!”

Li Nanfeng’s smile froze, his face twisted into ferocity, and the click of a bullet being chambered rang out.

Suddenly.

A gunshot rang out with a “bang.”

Before Li Nanfeng could act, intense pain shot through his wrist, and the gun flew out of his grasp.

Immediately after, his leg was hit by another shot.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Qiao Xun grabbed the gun and pressed it firmly against Li Nanfeng.

Li Nanfeng clutched his bleeding hand, his face full of shock, seemingly unable to comprehend what had just happened.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Li Hanzhou.

Qiao Xun subconsciously followed his gaze.

Pei Ya, seeing that everyone was looking at Li Hanzhou, and utterly confused, also turned to look at him.

A face that said, “What’s going on? What happened?”

Li Hanzhou frowned, “It wasn’t me.”

Qiao Yun, who had been protected behind Li Hanzhou, poked out her little head, threw the gun back to Zhou You, and raised her hand, “It was me.”

Li Hanzhou raised an eyebrow, praising, “Well done.”

Qiao Yun pursed her lips, her expression calm, as if she wasn’t the one who had fired the gun just now.

Pei Ya was shocked.

He had been by Qiao Yun’s side for quite some time and always knew she was no ordinary person.

But he had never known that his boss was knowledgeable about guns, let alone such an accurate shot.

That shot just now–if it had been even a little off–it would have been Qiao Xun who was injured.

Without a strong psychological fortitude, one would not dare to shoot.

Pei Ya looked at Qiao Yun with admiration in his eyes, thinking that his boss truly was capable of anything.

After all, Qiao Yun was a versatile robot, her knowledge of firearms no less than theirs.

When firing the gun, she knew she couldn’t hesitate, or her little uncle would be in danger.

Fortunately, she succeeded in the end.

Li Nanfeng was once again restrained, his men pointed at with guns, outnumbered and outgunned, and had no choice but to lay down their weapons.

The situation, in that moment, was irreversible.

Li Nanfeng began to laugh idiotically, “Who would have thought, who would have thought…”

“I told you, you wouldn’t leave here alive,” Qiao Xun said, his eyes utterly calm.

Li Nanfeng restrained his laughter, his eyes pooling with unwillingness, anger, and fear.

“You think the words I said before were a joke? I have always taken my dear nephew seriously, naturally making full preparations…”

Before he could finish, an explosion thundered, and the ground beneath their feet violently shook.

Everyone realized what was happening.

Damn it!

Li Nanfeng was serious, he’d actually planted explosives!

The old warehouse was thrown into chaos, and Li Nanfeng’s men ran headlong toward the exit.

Qiao Xun gritted his teeth as he looked at Li Nanfeng, who was shivering, his eyes filled with terror, muttering to himself, “I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die.”

“You madman.”

Li Nanfeng had long planted time bombs in the vicinity, originally planning to leave the border with Li Hanzhou.

If someone gave chase, they would be caught in the bomb’s blast.

Just hadn’t expected, in the end, he’d be hoisted by his petard.

“Uncle Qiao, forget about him, get out of here quickly!” Pei Ya shouted.

Qiao Xun clenched his teeth.

Li Nanfeng grabbed onto his leg, “Take me with you, I’ll give you money…”

“Scram!” Qiao Xun kicked Li Nanfeng away and hurriedly ran outside.

Li Hanzhou tightly grabbed Qiao Yun’s hand, intending to take her away from the danger zone.

The woman who had been monitoring Qiao Yun, who had been about to take her own boss away, saw Qiao Yun trying to leave, and with malice in her eyes, she raised her gun.

Aiming at Qiao Yun.
