LBOT-79

Chairman Wang was not a patient man.

“Do I need to wait longer?”

Xiao Zhan called Wang Yibo in a quiet voice.

“CEO Wang.”

Wang Yibo remained silent. Xiao Zhan pursed his lips.

“Sorry…”

Wang Yibo’s hardened mouth went up slightly. He remained motionless, his eyes closed as if awaiting execution.

I’m really sorry. I will pay for this sin for the rest of my life.

Chairman Wang’s face lit up as soon as Xiao Zhan raised the axe.

Looking at Wang Yibo, who was still motionless, Xiao Zhan turned around and threw the ax at Chairman Wang.

The ax that flew in an instant hit Chairman Wang’s forehead without even stopping, and his skull split open with a loud cracking sound.

Wang Yibo opened his closed eyes at the same time. He turned to look at Xiao Zhan after seeing his father fall down with an axe on his forehead.

Xiao Zhan smiled sadly and with remorse.

“Sorry. You have no parents anymore.”

As soon as Xiao Zhan threw the axe, he pulled the gun from Section Chief Su’s waist and aimed it at his temple.

Slump, Chairman Wang collapsed and Xiao Zhan looked back at Wang Yibo.

[Sorry. You have no parents anymore.]

Delight flashed across Wang Yibo’s face. Even though his father was struck with an ax in the head right in front of his eyes, he didn’t look sad at all.

The collapsed Chairman Wang groaned and convulsed, and his subordinates pointed their guns at Xiao Zhan in panic.

In a tense confrontation with guns pointed at each other, Section Chief Su shouted.

“What! What are you doing! Chairman! Bring Chairman Wang here first! You bastards!”

As most of them were hired mercenaries, confusion was heightened even among them.

Xiao Zhan called out to them.

“Make a good judgment. The person who was going to give you money is dead anyway. It’s foolish to have a gunfight here.”

Chairman Wang’s flailing stopped as if to prove Xiao Zhan’s point. Several of his subordinates looked back at Section Chief Su, puzzled.

Section Chief Su’s expression became stunned as well.

Xiao Zhan pulled a knife from Section Chief Su’s pocket while still pointing the gun at him, and then moved behind Wang Yibo.

“This CEO Wang will pay you the same amount. Of course, if you put the gun down.”

After cutting and untying the rope, Wang Yibo slowly stood up.

Section Chief Su’s face went white. He kept shouting not to shoot for fear of endangering his life.

Xiao Zhan took Section Chief Su as a hostage and began to slowly retreat.

At that moment, Gu Jiacheng, who was mingling with the crowd, pulled out a gun and fired without hesitation.

BANG!!!, the sound echoed through the building, and the flying bullet grazed the side of Xiao Zhan’s face. Damn, it.

Jiacheng stood with the gun pointed at him and laughed eerily.

“Listen, everyone. He’s the one who made my eyes look like this. Do you think I’ll let you live?”

Everyone began to waver at his words.

Xiao Zhan frowned, and Jiacheng retaliated with a finishing blow.

“I’ll give you the money, kill those two guys!”

Fuck. The moment Xiao Zhan reached out to counterattack, Section Chief Su’s head was blown by the second bullet, and Xiao Zhan’s face was covered in blood.

BANG!!! BANG!!!

Xiao Zhan launched an immediate counterattack, and ran toward Wang Yibo and the doorway, using Section Chief Su’s body as a shield.

As he threw Section Chief Su’s body on the ground and runs downstairs, he heard a gunshot and sounds of Chairman Wang’s men coming up from under the building.

The two of them turned to the side and looked for a place to hide.

The sound of footsteps drew closer. Wang Yibo then grabbed Xiao Zhan’s arm and walked into a nearby empty office.

As expected, it was just being built so that was why the window side was clearly open, and the pillars and construction materials were piled up in the middle.

The two took a step back after locking the door. Shouts were heard outside along with the sound of footsteps.

Wang Yibo quickly scanned Xiao Zhan from head to toe. The white T-shirt he was wearing for the date was stained with blood. Both arms continued to swell with blood.

“Are you okay?”

Xiao Zhan nodded. He didn’t think Yibo should be the one asking him if he was okay. Wang Yibo was also in a more bad condition.

Wang Yibo looked around. There were construction tools, welding machines, and welding gas all over the place as if the construction had progressed quite a bit.

He dragged Xiao Zhan to the window. He looked down once and grabbed Xiao Zhan’s shoulder.

Before figuring out what Wang Yibo was up to, Xiao Zhan looked down and discovered a safety net beneath the building.

The safety net didn’t appear to be strong enough to support two grown men, and while there was sand beneath, it wasn’t clear how much cushion it would provide.

Bam, bam, bam, here it is! Here! The closed door shook as if about to be ripped open, and then there was a gunshot.

As bullet marks formed one by one on the iron door, Wang Yibo grabbed Xiao Zhan’s cheek and kissed his lips roughly. Unknown to whom the blood belonged, it entered the mouth and mixed with saliva.

His lips parted, and Xiao Zhan hurriedly grabbed his arm.

“Wait. I think we should jump out of here together.”

Wang Yibo replied with a smile.

“Go ahead and wait.”

Xiao Zhan’s eyes widened. What does that mean? Before he could ask more, Yibo pushed Xiao Zhan on the shoulder.

He tried to grab Wang Yibo’s arm, but he suddenly stepped back and fell straight down.

Xiao Zhan’s body gets caught in the net once, and then the safety net breaks and he rolls onto the pile of sand. He couldn’t get up easily because of the shock, but Xiao Zhan didn’t seem to be seriously injured.

Wang Yibo picked up the chainsaw and pulled the string back. After two or three turns, the motor turns and the sharp saw blade moves at a terrifying speed.

He picked it up and strode toward the door.

Bang, bang, bang, the door latch rattles before popping off, and the door swings open with a shattering sound.

Wang Yibo swung the chainsaw at the oncoming men indiscriminately. A pitiful scream was heard, followed by the splattering of flesh and blood.

Bang, bang, gunshots were heard and Yibo stumbled backward.

Blood gushed from the right side of his abdomen. Fuck. Spitting out a curse, he snatched one of the automatic rifles they were carrying and hurriedly ducked behind a pillar.

Bang, bang, bang, bullets flew mercilessly into the pillars, and pieces of cement splattered in all directions.

Wang Yibo leaned through the wall and aimed at them. Bang, bang, the head exploded, and several people fell down in an instant. By the looks of it, it seemed that all the people gathered.

Wang Yibo aimed at the welding gas cylinder behind them.

A bullet flew by and grazed his shoulder. Ugh, the bullet that was aimed at the gas cylinder flew off to the wrong place.

As soon as he ducked for cover, he heard Gu Jiacheng’s voice.

“Oh, no. The cheeky young master has turned into a cornered mouse. But where did Xiao Zhan go? Huh?”

Wang Yibo let out a ragged breath. Blood was pouring from his side when he looked down.

A few of them were about to walk out the door as if Gu Jiacheng had ordered them to.

Wang Yibo took advantage of the opportunity and shot them in the head. As they collapsed in front of the entrance, bullets rained down on the pillar without a chance to breathe.

Cement dust splattered in all directions, revealing an iron framework.

Wang Yibo grinned eerily under his breath and said.

“None of you are getting out of here!”

He attacked the guys at the entrance as soon as he finished speaking. They also hid behind pillars. He must buy time to allow Xiao Zhan to escape.

As he caught his breath, Yibo ejected the magazine and counted the remaining bullets. He couldn’t go on any longer.

A gas canister could be seen behind Gu Jiacheng, but it was difficult to hit it from this angle. It could only be reached by going outside the pillar.

He could die here if he was unlucky. However, if he hesitated, Xiao Zhan will also die. It’s something that should never happen.

Xiao Zhan must live regardless of what happens. I would have changed my will if I had known I was going to die so soon. This incompetent lawyer won’t really bury Xiao Zhan with me, will he?

He regretted it belatedly and smiled bitterly.

He had made his final decision. It became more difficult for him to breathe, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He wasn’t sure if it was the sweat or the rushing blood, but his consciousness was becoming increasingly blurry. He pushed himself out of the pillar after taking a slow, deep breath.

Bang, bang, he fired back at them, then aimed at the gas cylinder and fired a bullet. Bang, as soon as one shot hits, a bullet from the other side gets stuck in the right abdomen.

Ugh. His body trembled with pain.

Shhh- Hearing the gas leak, Gu Jiacheng looked at him.

Wang Yibo fired the second bullet and immediately jump behind the pillar.

BOOM!

The ceiling shook with a deafening explosion, and chunks of cement rained down overhead.

……

Ugh! Xiao Zhan who came to his senses, looked up.

Wang Yibo, you crazy bastard. Bastard!

His leg wobbled as he tried to stand up. It wasn’t broken, but it felt like it was cracked. Gritting his teeth, Xiao Zhan got up and limped away.

He was hurrying toward the building when he noticed several black cars in the distance, kicking up dust and speeding toward him.

Among them were several ambulances. He didn’t even have time to check if they were Chairman Wang’s people.

Xiao Zhan limped into the building. He grabbed the stair railing and tumbled upstairs, but then he heard an explosion above him.

BOOM!

The building shook, and Xiao Zhan stopped moving.

What. BOOM! Debris from the ceiling falls. Xiao Zhan was overcome with fear for a brief moment. No way…! He forgot about his aching leg and began climbing furiously.

Suddenly, a familiar voice called out from below.

“Sean!”

Xiao Zhan paused as he looked back.

Li Bowen, Kim Joon, Kim Yaan, and others appeared and were armed.

He could see tension and nervousness on Li Bowen’s normally calm face. Slow footsteps could be heard coming from the upper stairwell, where the explosion had occurred.

Li Bowen’s men aimed their guns in that direction. Xiao Zhan held his breath and looked up.

“Sean. Come here.”

Kim Joon called out but Xiao Zhan remained motionless.

Kim Joon climbed up to protect Xiao Zhan but stopped. Wang Yibo, covered in blood, staggered down with a pale face, dragging his legs.

As if holes had been pierced throughout his body, blood keep gushing out. Every step he took was splattered with blood.

He found Xiao Zhan and smiled faintly.

“Thank god…”

Blood gushed out of his mouth as he spoke. The sight made Xiao Zhan lose his breath.

“You’re fine… My baby…”

He smiled and collapsed on top of Xiao Zhan.

“Sir!”

Li Bowen ran up, and Xiao Zhan held him.

It smelled like blood, and Yibo’s body was so cold Xiao Zhan felt as if he was hugging a corpse. His heart sank.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, Yibo became weak and limp. While holding him, Xiao Zhan’s voice trembled with sobs.

“Hey. CEO Wang…”

No answer. Even his faint breathing was fading away.
