The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert
Chapter 1853 - 2045: Inescapable Net (Part 4)Early morning of the next day.
It was just past five o’clock, and the outside was still pitch-black, but the mansion in the estate was brightly lit. One after another, business vehicles were driven out and parked by the roadside. After a while, Chen Younian, Su Cheng’en, and Su He came out and got into two of the cars.
Once everyone was present, the convoy drove straight along the road. At the same time, a large truck parked at the back slowly started, maintaining a distance of about a hundred meters, following all the way.
"Is everything arranged?" Sitting on a chair in the container, Zhu Hong stared at the real-time footage transmitted back by the drone and asked.
"Everything is ready, just waiting for them to arrive at the destination."
"Good." Zhu Hong nodded and said, "Tell everyone, this mission must succeed and not fail." This operation concerned the Soul Stone, and even if it required sacrificing all lives, he was willing.
As time passed minute by minute, after more than ten minutes, the Mercedes business convoy arrived at a deserted section of the road. At this time, the first ray of dawn from the east dispersed the dark night.
Suddenly, with a loud ’boom’, the foremost Mercedes business vehicle in the convoy exploded, a powerful blast wave burst from below, directly launching the vehicle into the air, with flames shooting out wildly through the windows.
The sudden explosion made the vehicles behind hastily stop. But then, explosions happened in succession, and in the blink of an eye, all the vehicles were destroyed, instantly turning into a mass of flames.
However, at the moment of the explosion, the roofs of two vehicles were suddenly torn open by a strong force, and three figures rushed out quickly. Yet, under the impact of the explosion, the three figures still got affected, flying towards the surroundings and landing heavily on the ground.
Chen Younian slowly stood up, looking at the several business vehicles turned into fireballs, his face suddenly became terribly gloomy. Although he escaped the explosion quickly, he was still severely injured, with some parts of his body pierced by glass shards and metal fragments, bleeding profusely, while other parts were burned by flames, rendering the flesh a blurred mess.
Feeling the pain from his body, Chen Younian gritted his teeth and walked to the roadside. At this moment, Su Cheng’en and Su He also scrambled up from the ground. Their abilities were no match for Chen Younian’s, and since even Chen Younian suffered such severe injuries, their condition was naturally worse, with Su He’s left arm entirely blasted off, covered in blood and looking miserable, while Su Cheng’en, though not as extreme, had his back burnt raw with all hair burned off, one leg slightly trembling, with blood continuously flowing down his pant leg.
"Mr. Chen..." Su Cheng’en opened his mouth, his voice carrying a trace of weakness.
Chen Younian glanced at their condition and then turned his gaze toward the roadside. At this moment, a large truck loaded with containers was speeding along the road without any intention of stopping as it saw him standing in the road’s center, instead speeding up.
Seeing that the truck was about to hit, Chen Younian dared not fight hard. Although his strength was formidable, he was not invincible, and under such an impact, even with an immortal body, he would still get injured. The so-called immortal body merely referred to the body’s recovery ability, not its immunity to harm.
With a quick tap of his toes, Chen Younian swiftly moved aside, just dodging the truck’s impact. Missing the chance to hit Chen Younian, the truck’s speed showed no signs of decreasing, charging straight ahead.
"Trying to leave?" Chen Younian grit his teeth, disregarding his injuries, and started chasing after it. Suddenly attacked inexplicably, losing so many men and even getting heavily wounded himself, he would certainly not easily forgive the assailants.
Despite seeing Chen Younian chasing the truck, Su He gasped for breath and slowly walked over to Su Cheng’en’s side, asking, "Ancestor, what should we do now?"
"Ignore him, let’s retreat first." Su Cheng’en said pale-faced. In their current condition, they had no way to fight; staying here would only increase their risk. If the attackers surrounded them, their chances of escape would be very slim.
At this moment, the truck’s speed had reached over eighty kilometers per hour, yet Chen Younian showed no intention of giving up, frantically moving his legs, like a gust of wind, closely following the truck.
"Madness! Is he even human?" Inside the container, watching the relentless pursuit of Chen Younian, several technicians and Qi Yong stared wide-eyed in disbelief. It was incredible someone could chase a vehicle on foot; even a Heavenly List master couldn’t achieve such a feat. Unlike the shock of everyone else, Zhu Hong remained relatively calm, coldly watching Chen Younian behind the truck and sneering, "Brainless fool."
"Mr. Zhu, should we implement Plan B?"
Zhu Hong nodded and said, "Notify everyone, there’s a change of plans; since he’s caught up, have those who stayed behind withdraw."
Thirty meters... twenty meters... As Chen Younian sprinted, the truck got nearer. He secretly gritted his teeth; as long as he caught up with the truck, no matter who was inside, he would torment them with the cruelest methods. Those who dared to oppose Chen Younian would not have a good ending.
At this moment, his eyes were only fixed on the truck, not noticing the parked sedans by the roadside, nor pondering why so many vehicles were parked on such a deserted road. As he passed the section with parked cars, he heard several loud ’booms,’ and the vehicles by the side suddenly exploded, with flames bursting forth, enveloping the sprinting Chen Younian.
Rushing out of the fiery sea, Chen Younian’s whole body was ablaze, the flames brutally scorching his body.
Stimulated by intense pain, Chen Younian couldn’t help but cry out. He took a deep breath, suddenly triggering an eruption of Inner Strength throughout his body, instantly extinguishing the flames. Although the fire was out, he looked miserable, with clothes burned away and skin scorched black, appearing extremely horrifying.
Glancing at the distant truck, a hint of uncontrollable resentment showed in Chen Younian’s eyes. With his strength, how could he swallow being toyed with by this group?
Never mind! He thought quietly, considering the current dire situation; although these injuries weren’t fatal, they significantly affected his performance. It was better to return for proper recovery. As for those assailants... Hmph! Sooner or later, he would make them pay dearly for this.
As he contemplated, a pair of headlights appeared in the opposite direction, with a sedan approaching. Seeing this, he moved to the road center and waved at the vehicle.
