Chapter 775 - What Would He Get?
Mu Taotao’s beautiful almond-shaped eyes sank, and she gripped Lin Nuan’s wrist instead, pulling Lin Nuan behind her. She moved skillfully, pressing down Lin Nuan’s body to protect her and raising her gun…
Ah Zhan’s eyes opened wide. He saw the cold smile Mu Taotao was wearing and rapidly jumped to hide behind the sofa.
Lin Nuan knocked into the wall from the forceful action, and her mind went into a daze for an instant…
The speed at which Mu Taotao fired the gun was frighteningly fast. Within around two seconds, Ah Zhan’s ears were filled with the sound of shots. He had dodged quickly, but it still wasn’t swift enough. The bullets brushed past his leg, and his flesh burst open.
At the same time that Ah Zhan had dodged behind the sofa, Mu Taotao threw the gun in You Nainai’s direction. She then pulled Lin Nuan’s arm and rapidly moved toward the door.
Ah Zhan’s forehead broke out in huge droplets of sweat. He clenched his teeth and hid behind the sofa. “Ms. Lin, our boss came to your country, not caring about his own life. He has done so much for you as well. If it wasn’t for our boss… Mr. Fu’s identity as Mr. Moral would already have been exposed!”
Before Mu Taotao opened the door, Ah Zhan gritted his teeth and stood up from behind the sofa.
You Nainai pointed the gun at Ah Zhan, shielding Lin Nuan and Mu Taotao behind her. Her forehead was also covered in sweat.
Seeing that Mu Taotao’s hand was already on the doorknob, Ah Zhan threw his gun in front of You Nainai. He powered through the pain in his leg and unzipped the jacket to show You Nainai what was tied around his waist…
You Nainai’s eyes narrowed. Explosives!
Mu Taotao was also stunned.
Suicide bomber!
This… Lin Nuan had seen such a thing back in Iraq!
The scene of splattering flesh and blood was something that she couldn’t forget.
Lin Nuan felt a numbness running through her feet all the way to the top of her head. Even her stomach was twitching in pain.
The preserved plum that she hadn’t spit out seemed to permeate a bloody taste, making her stomach turn.
“If Ms. Lin walks out that door, I’ll set off the explosives!” Ah Zhan wasn’t lying. His gaze showed that he was facing death with no regrets.
If Li Muyang were to die, then Ah Zhan would lose direction, having no idea what to do with the rest of his life. He wouldn’t know who he should protect or the meaning of his life!
Even Mu Taotao didn’t dare to pull Lin Nuan away recklessly and leave.
The explosives that Ah Zhan had tied to himself were real. Once they were set off… Mu Taotao couldn’t guarantee that she’d be able to send Lin Nuan out safely and unscathed!
Lin Nuan’s mind was filled with the scenes she had seen on the battlefield in Iraq… the charred corpses were killed by the explosives. Her feet felt as if they had been nailed to the floor, and she was unable to move a single step.
“Ah Zhan, are you crazy?” Lin Nuan’s face turned pale. “You attached these things to your body. If something happens, there’ll be no undoing things!”
“Leave with Mu Taotao first! He won’t dare to set it off!” You Nainai said with a grim expression.
“Miss You, if you don’t believe me, you can give it a try!” Ah Zhan gritted his teeth. “If our boss dies, I don’t even know what meaning there is for me to be alive! Ms. Lin… I’m not forcing you to leave your husband! I only want you to come with me to meet our boss and persuade him to return to the United States! He can only receive the best treatment there!”
Ah Zhan’s eyes were red.
He had no more time to waste. Every additional minute wasted meant that Li Muyang’s condition would become even more dangerous.
There were too many people inside the Jinjiang TV Station’s building!
Fang Yan was around! Fu Tianci was around! Miss Xia was around! You Nainai was around…
There were also many other employees there!
Mu Taotao grabbed Lin Nuan’s wrist tightly and said to her, “Sister Nuan, let’s…”
Before Mu Taotao could finish her words, Lin Nuan’s voice rang out…
“I agree to go with you to meet Li Muyang!” Lin Nuan frowned. “But you’ll have to wait until we’re done filming the show! It’ll be starting in another ten or so minutes. I can’t leave the guests and audience behind like that!”
“Sister Nuan!” Mu Taotao clearly disagreed with Lin Nuan’s decision.
“We’ll leave right now!” Ah Zhan’s voice rose uncontrollably. He then felt that he had lost his cool and had been too impolite toward Lin Nuan, so he apologized. “Ms. Lin, I apologize! I only want our boss to return to the United States as soon as possible! I beg of you… a life is on the line! Each additional minute he continues to hide here will mean that he is one minute closer to danger!”
As if afraid that Lin Nuan would have any doubt, he said, “He’s in the hotel we’ve been staying at! Mr. Fu’s men are there as well! You can bring these two together with you!”
Ah Zhan was referring to You Nainai and Mu Taotao.
You Nainai was a well-known bodyguard within the country. As for Mu Taotao… Ah Zhan had met many people with exceptional skills. Judging from the killing aura that Mu Taotao emitted, she was clearly a killer with great battle experience.
She had probably only held back towards Ah Zhan because they were in Jinjiang TV Station’s building, so she didn’t wish to create a huge commotion, bringing trouble to Lin Nuan.
Otherwise, the bullet just now wouldn’t have simply brushed past his leg.
“Ah Zhan, if I refuse today, will you really set off the explosives on you?” Lin Nuan forced herself to calm down. “Li Muyang hasn’t died yet. Why… do you wish to die here with me first?”
Ah Zhan clenched his fists tightly. “Ms. Lin, don’t force me!”
“I can go and meet Li Muyang!” Lin Nuan spoke with a certain tone.
“Sister Nuan!” Mu Taotao’s countenance was grim.
Lin Nuan clutched Mu Taotao’s wrist tightly, attempting to calm her down…
“But I believe that after I’ve met Li Muyang, Ah Zhan, you’ll beg me for something else. For example, to go with Li Muyang back to the United States!” Lin Nuan looked at Ah Zhan.
Ah Zhan was stunned.
He hadn’t thought of getting Lin Nuan to go with Li Muyang to the United States before. However, if Lin Nuan was unable to persuade Li Muyang to go back, he would probably… think of everything he could to get Lin Nuan to accompany Li Muyang back to get treatment.
“Therefore, Ah Zhan, I can agree to a video call with Li Muyang, to persuade him to return to the United States. However, I can’t guarantee that he’ll listen to me!” Lin Nuan spoke softly. As her rationality gradually returned, she spoke more and more clearly. “This is all that I can do. If you don’t agree to this, feel that Li Muyang will definitely die, and want to set off the explosives here to die together with me before he does, then you’re free to do that!”
It wasn’t as if Lin Nuan wasn’t afraid. If she really weren’t scared… she wouldn’t have promised Ah Zhan no matter what the conditions were.
The line “feel that Li Muyang will definitely die, and want to set off the explosives here to die together with me before he does” was like a blade that pierced into Ah Zhan.
He gritted his teeth and saw that Lin Nuan’s delicate and beautiful features were tensed up, appearing as if she had made up her mind…
Ah Zhan couldn’t leave Li Muyang behind just for the sake of dying with Lin Nuan.
Ah Zhan didn’t have any feuds with Lin Nuan. He only wanted to get Lin Nuan to persuade Li Muyang to go back to the United States!
When he found out that Lin Nuan was the lover of “Mr. Moral,” he knew that Li Muyang wasn’t meant to be with Lin Nuan in this lifetime…
Ah Zhan lost his cool, bound explosives to himself, and planned on putting up a desperate fight even if it meant death. However, what would he get if he, together with Lin Nuan and a majority of the people in the entire building, were to die together?
