Chapter 158: What She Wants Part 2
It’s near .
It’s very near .
Stepping on the rugged path, A licks his lips without anyone noticing .
The secret room is just ahead . It’s just that form the outside, its location cannot be seen . And in a few steps more, it’s where he has planted the bombs and within R’s area of surveillance .
But how can he detonate them without hurting Xu Si Bai? That’s the big question .
He lowers his head and looks at the three shadows on the ground . Probably because the path is becoming narrow, Xu Si Bai is walking behind Han Chen about one to two steps back . That’s just enough room for R to detonate the bombs precisely .
A is a little stunned .
There’s no time to think . He steps across the bomb and hears Han Chen following .
“Ten, nine, eight, seven……” he counts in his heart . From years of partners.h.i.+p, he can be sure that R will definitely choose to act now .
“……three, two, one!” A dashes forward suddenly, and at the same time, a loud “boom!” can be heard from behind .
“Bang!”
Shots are fired into the air . A feels something hit his body hard and a stabbing pain surging up his chest . He looks down and sees a small hole bleeding from his right chest . He falls to the ground .
Intolerable pain accompanied by blood rus.h.i.+ng out of his body makes him feel as if all of his energy is being drained from him . Even though he’s down on the ground, he turns his head with all his might and sees Han Chen standing behind the small burst of dust after the explosion . And Xu Si Bai is standing in front of him; they both have their guns pointing at each other with stern looks on their faces . There’s another gun lying on the ground not far away from A . It’s his gun .
A had missed seeing what happened in the blink of an eye just now .
In the second before the explosion, Han Chen somehow sensed what was happening and dived forward, dodging the impact . And he shot at A at the same time!
Xu Si Bai also avoided it . He quickly pointed his gun at Han Chen and tossed the other gun at A . But before even turning his head, Han Chen had already switched his gun to point at Xu Si Bai .
In the smoke, the resonating sound of the explosion is like a bell ringing; piercing into their ears and echoing deeply in the atmosphere . Many areas of the ground are sinking due to the explosion; it’s as if it’s about to collapse . But the two of them are standing still without a word . A wants to grab the gun on the ground, but he can’t lift his hands .
Han Chen’s face is cold and his eyes are stubborn and cruel . He says, “You are really S . ”
Xu Si Bai holds the gun firmly pointing at him . Even when facing death, his eyes are calm like still water . He doesn’t answer, but A is in a bit of a shock .
“S……” his raspy voice says . His lips are cracked but he looks extremely happy, “S, S……you’re finally awake?”
Xu Si Bai nods slowly .
A laughs out of loud suddenly . He struggles in an attempt to get up, but he falls back down again . He lets out a long sigh and covers his bleeding chest with his hand as he murmurs, “I have no regrets for dying . I have no regrets……”
Xu Si Bai doesn’t look at him, but his eyes seem to have grown deeper . Han Chen, on the other hand, is on full alert as he continues to aim his gun at Xu Si Bai .
The two of them stand quietly for a while before Han Chen says suddenly, “The remote is to detonate the bombs on the bridge?”
A’s consciousness is going hazy, but he’s surprised with Han Chen’s sharp senses .
“Yes,” Xu Si Bai answers lightly .
“Will you detonate them?” Han Chen asks further .
Xu Si Bai remains quiet for a few seconds and then answers, “No . Give me L and A, and I’ll give you the remote . ”
Han Chen keeps silent for a moment and responds, “Deal . ”
A is stunned from listening . He’s happy yet upset .
“Where’s L?” Xu Si Bai asks .
Han Chen tells him a location .
Xu Si Bai holds the gun with one hand and fetches for his phone with the other . He puts the phone against his ear, “R, confirm L’s location . ”
They stand quietly while Xu Si Bai waits on the phone .
Han Chen’s voice grows a bit raspy, “Where’s Su Mian?”
Xu Si Bai remains quiet for a second before answering, “I will let her live the life she wants . ”
Han Chen’s expression doesn’t change . He responds after a while, “Okay . ”
_____
Su Mian wakes up in the room with dim lighting . She is tied to a chair and unable to move . Xu Si Bai is nowhere to be found . Only Ris sitting on the couch and smoking . There is a wall of monitors across from him .
In the very middle, it’s showing an image of A, Han Chen, and Xu Si Bai on a small dirt hill . This is before the explosion happened .
Su Mian feels her heart in her throat .
She realizes two things immediately .
Number one, Xu Si Bai is lying to Han Chen;
Number two, Han Chen is also lying to Xu Si Bai . He is already suspecting his ident.i.ty .
If Xu Si Bai’s ident.i.ty is already exposed, there is no way for them to be this peaceful together . But there is a very big loophole here . That’s A .
Based on the personalities of the seven-member organization, even if they were to die, they would never lead the way for Han Chen . Unless it’s a trap, or that A doesn’t want the other person to be staying outside and dying outside, so that’s why he’s leading the way .
And that person is Xu Si Bai, S . Moreover, if she can think of this, Han Chen can definitely think of this . Xu Si Bai is one of the important connections to many of the incidents .
And then, the explosion happens .
……
Su Mian already has a very bad feeling of this watching the two of them pointing their guns at each other . And when Xu Si Bai calls Rand tells him that he would like her live her own life with Han Chen answering “Okay,” Su Mian feels her heart ache .
They want to die together .
They’ve both made up their minds to go all out . This is why they’re having this conversation .
There’s no way for Han Chen to let Xu Si Bai off . Since Xu Si Bai has recovered his memories, there’s no way for him to back down either .
They’ve decided to kill each other .
Su Mian’s heart becomes ruthless as well . She jerks her body and rams into the wall with the chair . But the chair doesn’t break . Rturns around watching her . Realizing that she’s just a beast trapped in a cage, R quickly returns to the monitors and switches the images .
Based on Han Chen’s location details, he finds a nearby surveillance camera . But he frowns after switching over to it . It’s because, in the dark image, there’s only a broken handcuff left at the pole of where Han Chen said . There’s n.o.body there .
He holds up the phone and says to Xu Si Bai, “S, L’s not there . There’s only half of a handcuff left . It seems to have been broken with a bullet . ”
Su Mian pants as she lifts up her head . She watches Han Chen and others on the monitor .
Her shoulder is dislocated and in an awkward position, but she still can’t free herself from the rope .
And at the scene on the dam-like dirt hill, A’s breathing is thin like a gossamer . Han Chen and Xu Si Bai both fall silent hearing that Lis not there .
“There’s another person underground who hasn’t shown up yet,” Han Chen says slowly .
“Mm,” Xu Si Bai answers .
“When did you guys come up with the plan?” Han Chen raises his voice suddenly, directing the question to A . And R, hearing Han Chen asking the same question as Xu Si Bai, is stunned . ”
“Three……” A mumbles .
“Three months ago,” Xu Si Bai answers for him .
A opens his eyes wide immediately . He understands it now . This plan is top secret and only members know about it . But three months ago, there was another person in this world who knew of the plan .
“But……” A says in doubt, “why would he……”
Xu Si Bai doesn’t respond .
Instead, Han Chen looks toward the darkness and says calmly, “Come out, Xu Nan Bai . ”
From a column nearest to them, a shadow comes out . He’s wearing all black and looks just like a shadow . But he’s no longer the once elegant and refined looking man . There are stubbles on his chin, and his face is abnormally pale . There’s no way of knowing how long he’s been hiding underground, and no way of telling how long he’s been here watching them secretly .
His expression is calm, but there’s a hint of a mocking smile showing from his mouth . He’s also holding a gun in his hand .
“Long time no see,” he says slowly with a smile . It’s uncertain whom he’s greeting . Han Chen and Xu Si Bai still have their eyes on each other and both don’t turn to look . A is panting and looking at him with his eyes wide .
Xu Nan Bai walks closer to them and stands in a few meters away .
He then points his gun toward Han Chen .
