Chapter 151

At this time, I had no other choice but to resist. I moved my shoulder like I had been trained so many times before. There was no way for anyone to hold me down like this, so I was able to break free as soon as he lost his grip on me. I headbutted the person coming at me with a knife and he fell to the ground. My other arm was still being restrained, so I ripped my sleeve off, lifted my pants, and took out the two explosives.

As the Wang guy drew his knife and bent down to attack me, I used all my strength to throw Boss Jiao down. As I hid directly behind him, I stretched out my hand and flicked my lighter on.

The Wang guy’s knife almost slashed my neck, but I managed to dodge and pull Boss Jiao against the wall. The Wang guy adjusted his grip on the knife and I immediately hid my head behind Boss Jiao. I knew that this was how long knife attacks were carried out—by exerting all of your bodily strength from your feet, you could put all of your power into the knife blow. If you were trained well, the knife would be moving so fast that it would be invisible to the naked eye within half a meter. If this guy stabbed me in the forehead, I wouldn’t have time to light the explosives at all.

Experience played a huge role at this time, so I hid directly behind Boss Jiao’s head.

His hair had a strong perfume smell, which almost made me cough. I took the chance to light one of the explosives and tucked it into his collar.

Boss Jiao screamed when the sparks burned his skin and tore his shirt off directly. As the explosives fell to the ground, I headbutted Sanye (1) and made a dash for the door.

There were a bunch of people crowded around the door watching the show, so I shouted, “It’s going to explode!” Everyone immediately scattered. I had just taken a step forward when I saw someone ready to jump out of the window. I was ready to use all my strength to hit him and shove him directly back into the room.

While Boss Jiao rushed out of the door, I lit the second explosive, grabbed his belt, and stuffed it into his pants.

The lead time on Fatty’s explosives was always extremely fast, but this group of people had killed so many people that an evil thought sprang into my head and I shortened the lead time even more. Without giving any of them a second glance, I turned around and jumped over the railing.

The first explosive went off, the shockwave forcing the air down from above. The explosives weren’t that strong, but it was enough to blow the furniture and floor up. The loud sound was accompanied by countless pieces of wood thrown out in all directions. I grabbed the third-floor railing with one hand and looked up at the fourth floor. All the people and things up there had fallen down a level when the floor collapsed. I immediately let go and fell to the second floor, grabbing the railing once again.

I looked up and saw that many people had already gotten up and were shouting. The man in black looked at me. I immediately dropped from the second floor to the first floor and found that all of the waiters had come out to see what the commotion was. I shouted, “There’s a second one!” I had no sooner said the words than the third floor exploded. I covered my head and climbed the stairs back to my room as tiles and wood chips rained down everywhere.

When I rushed in, my mind froze for a second. Bai Haotian wasn’t there. Neither was A Ning’s brother, Sasha. There was only the rope we had used to tie him up lying on the ground. The room was a complete mess, which made me think that something had happened.

My ears were filled with the sound of people running on the wooden floors, so I opened the rear window, climbed out directly, and jumped from the third floor. I pushed off from the second-floor window sill, rolled to the ground, and then ran into the mountains.

I didn’t know if the second explosion had killed the man in black or Boss Jiao, but we had all obviously underestimated Boss Jiao’s power. Even though the Wang family had dispersed, Boss Jiao was still able to hire them. These people were determined to win and had deep reserves. A Ning’s younger brother must have run away. If he was working with such people, then he was probably treating Bai Haotian like a child. The only good news was that he couldn’t return to Boss Jiao’s camp now.

I had to focus on surviving right now. I ran wildly, following my memory all the way to the valley where I had heard the thunder before. Luckily, I was still familiar with the terrain.

After running for a kilometer or two, my lungs went on strike and I rolled to the ground, panting like an exhaust fan. I looked back, but didn’t see anyone chasing me. It was too difficult to chase people in the woods, even for those in the Wang and Zhang families.

I touched my body to see what I had on me. I was probably going to have to survive in the wilderness for a bit. After feeling around, I pulled a piece of paper from my pants pocket. I took a look at it and found that it had strange lines drawn on it. The paper hadn’t been in my pocket originally. I thought for a moment and suddenly realized that it might have been put there by the guy who was restraining me before.

No wonder I had felt that the man was so weak. But why would he do this? Did he secretly want to cut me some slack? What did this note mean?

As I was thinking over everything and looking at the surrounding mountains, I suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
