Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 155: Chapter 155: You Owe Me a Life

You big pervert, get in the car already!

Ye Xuanxuan tugged on Qin Tianxuan. ”What are you spacing out for?”

Qin Tianxuan stood still.

’Hmph! The bomb in this Maybach is sophisticated, the work of a professional assassin.’

’It’s a time bomb. He was all too familiar with this kind of explosive, the type used in off-shore assassination operations.’

He bent down and glanced at the bomb stuck to the chassis. It was the most common type of time bomb: once the car started, the internal fuse would activate, and it would explode in half an hour!

This design was meant to prevent killing the wrong person, allowing the bomb to be stopped at any time, or even removed and reset!

Qin Tianxuan made his decision. He walked right up to the car, reached through the window, and pulled out the key. Then he forced the door open and dragged Chuchu straight out.

”Are you insane?!” Chuchu shrieked.

SLAP. Qin Tianxuan slapped her across the face. ”I’m saving your life!”

”Y-You, what do you mean?”

”Heh. There’s a bomb in the car. Someone wants to kill you!”

Chuchu and Ye Xuanxuan were dumbfounded, then they both laughed mockingly. ”You’ve really lost your mind. A bomb? Do you think this is a movie? Besides, if there really was a bomb, why hasn’t it exploded yet?”

Qin Tianxuan couldn’t be bothered to explain and started evacuating the surrounding crowd.

The seconds ticked by, but he remained perfectly calm.

A warrior who had walked through a hail of gunfire was different from ordinary people.

The crowd dispersed, and the street fell silent.

Qin Tianxuan dragged one girl in each hand. Chuchu and Ye Xuanxuan tried to struggle, but they couldn’t resist his strength.

He pulled them far away into an alley. Leaning against the wall, Qin Tianxuan sneered, ”It’s about to blow. Aren’t you going to cover your ears and hide behind me?”

Chuchu had already taken out her phone and was frantically trying to make a call. ”I’m not going to stoop to your level. I’m calling the police! And I’m not calling about some stupid bomb, I’m calling to have you arrested! I think you’re mentally ill!”

As for Ye Xuanxuan, her eyes darted around, and she cautiously hid behind Qin Tianxuan.

’She was, after all, more afraid of dying.’

Standing at the mouth of the alley, Chuchu scoffed and continued trying to dial, but before the call could connect, a tremendous BOOM suddenly erupted.

Flames shot into the sky, and the shockwave sent the Eldest Miss Chu flying, knocking her to the ground.

Amidst the swirling dust and debris, Qin Tianxuan coolly dusted off his sleeves. ”Remember, you owe me your life.”

The Eldest Miss of the Chu Family lay sprawled on the ground, her face covered in dirt and her ears ringing. Terrified, she burst into tears.

Ye Xuanxuan, too, was still in shock, trembling so hard she nearly wet herself in fear.

Special guards from the Police Department and the Jinling Military Supervision Office were quickly dispatched, immediately blockading the street.

An ambulance also arrived.

Ye Xuanxuan and Chuchu were helped into the ambulance. Qin Tianxuan stood amidst the wreckage, silently surveying the scene.

’Which faction wants to kill Chuchu?’

’Is this an operation targeting the Chu Family?’

’What’s the reason?’

’He was very interested!’

The Jinling Police Department and special guards had already begun briefing the arriving media about the situation. A spokesperson stated directly, ”Until the facts are clarified, all unsubstantiated reporting is prohibited! The person in charge from our side is...”

The spokesperson glanced at a message on his phone, a little surprised. ”Ah, the person in charge of this case is Officer Song Yunsheng. He’s in charge of public security...”

The spokesperson on the scene was actually quite puzzled.

’This Song Yunsheng is just a minor figure in the Police Department, barely middle-management.’

’How could he be qualified to take charge of such a major case?’

What the spokesperson didn’t know was that as soon as Song Yunsheng got the news, he had immediately volunteered for the case. He had even used his connections with old classmates and friends to finally secure the position of lead investigator.

He did all this not because he cared about Jinling’s safety or was dedicated to his duty, but for the Eldest Miss of the Chu Family!

Song Yunsheng was in the prime of his life, came from a decent background, and was handsome and charming—a rising star in the Police Department.

But he was arrogant and conceited, and his dealings weren’t clean. The saying ”fair on the outside, foul on the inside” was a perfect description of him.

He was single-mindedly focused on using his position to associate with the great families of Jinling.

Not long ago, he had met Chuchu and begun entertaining the idea of marrying into the Chu Family!

’The Jinling Chu Family!’

’I heard they used to be a great family on the level of the Imperial Capital.’

’If I can win over Chuchu, not only will I get the beautiful girl, but I’ll also get at least half of the Chu Family’s fortune.’

’Wouldn’t that be better than being a poor, overworked public security officer in the Police Department?’

Meanwhile, Song Yunsheng was looking at Chuchu with a grave and concerned expression, even holding a cup of milk tea in his hand.

It turned out he hadn’t rushed to the scene immediately; he had gone to buy a drink for the Eldest Miss Chu.

The surrounding special guards and Police Department personnel all frowned as they watched.

Most of them felt contempt, but it wasn’t their place to say anything.

Chuchu was still trembling as she slowly recounted what had happened.

Ye Xuanxuan, meanwhile, was touching up her makeup with a small mirror, proudly declaring, ”It was my personal bodyguard who saved the day! He saved our lives. The least you at the Police Department can do is thank him, right? Without him, a lot of passersby would have been injured or killed!”

Chuchu also nodded vigorously. ”That bodyguard saved my life. I’m so, so grateful to him!”

Ye Xuanxuan giggled. ”Just don’t go thinking you have to offer yourself to him in return.”

”Xuanxuan, how can you joke at a time like this!” Chuchu’s face turned a little red, and she shyly pushed her friend.

In truth, her heart was filled with a whirlwind of emotions. After all, that man had saved her life.

Qin Tianxuan’s final, domineering sentence had already struck a chord in her young maiden’s heart.

”Remember, you owe me your life!”

’What a cool way to declare he saved someone! Could it be... he’s a little interested in me?’

Song Yunsheng stood to the side, his eyes filled with jealousy!

’A hero saving the beauty... isn’t that supposed to be my role? Why did I let some little bodyguard steal the show?’

The man’s heart twisted with envy, and he nearly crushed the milk tea in his hand.

Seeing that the Eldest Miss Chu seemed to be interested in the bodyguard, Song Yunsheng felt he had to make a move.

He quietly turned and said to two of his trusted subordinates in a low voice, ”Arrest that bodyguard. I suspect he’s connected to the bomb. Take him directly back to headquarters for interrogation!”
