Chapter 2083 - 2084: Did Something Happen to Miss Qiu?
As the saying goes, no matter how skilled you are in martial arts, you’re still afraid of a kitchen knife, not to mention a bomb filled with destructive power.
The bomb fell from mid-air, instantly causing a deafening explosion all around!
"Boom..."
The original factory was almost obliterated immediately after two bombs fell simultaneously, and the entire ground shook uncontrollably, as if an earthquake had struck.
Ye Xunhuan quietly watched all this unfolding before him, a faint smile flitting across his face. He just couldn’t believe that anyone inside could be unharmed amid this terrifying destruction.
Though Ye Xunhuan wore a faint smile, Jim’s expression appeared somewhat grim. At the moment of the bomb’s fall and explosion, Jim’s heart couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
Now, looking at the factory turned to ruins, Jim’s face was filled with a complex expression.
He knows that the people here are his partners. If they were killed in the explosion, it might not directly lead to his plan failing, but it could decrease the success rate.
But soon, the complex expression on Jim’s face vanished, replaced by calmness, as he watched the scene in front of him without any happiness or sadness.
Once the two helicopters had destroyed everything, they immediately flew away.
This was what Jim had entirely arranged with them beforehand—to bomb the place and leave after completing the mission.
Now that the mission was completed, there’s no need for Jim to say anything; they left directly.
As soon as the helicopters left, Ye Xunhuan turned his gaze to Jim: "Shall we go over and take a look?"
Jim nodded, didn’t say much, and started walking with Ye Xunhuan toward the front.
Soon, the two arrived at the scene of the ruins and rubble.
Upon seeing the scene before them, Ye Xunhuan’s mouth curled into a slight smile. Then he shifted his gaze to Jim and said, "Jim, do you think they’re all dead?"
At this moment, everything around Ye Xunhuan’s feet was completely destroyed, covered in dust, totally resembling ruins, with no trace of the former state.
In the bomb explosion, not to mention people, even stones would absolutely be blown apart.
Jim took a deep breath: "Seems like it!"
"Would you say that counts as no trace of remains?" Ye Xunhuan slowly pulled out a cigarette, lit it for himself, and began smoking gently.
Jim’s eyebrows immediately furrowed, realizing Ye Xunhuan’s words carried a deeper meaning!
The next moment, Jim looked at Ye Xunhuan and said, "What have you noticed?"
Ye Xunhuan didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he glanced around before slowly speaking: "Don’t you think this place is quite eerie?"
"What do you mean?"
"I haven’t seen any remains, have you?"
Jim was taken aback; with Ye Xunhuan’s observation, he suddenly realized that indeed, there seemed to be no remains here.
Logically, this shouldn’t be the case. Even under the bomb’s explosion and intense destruction, while it’s plausible the people were blown to pieces, it’s impossible not to find any remains!
Now, with no remains present, there’s only one possibility.
That is, they ran away.
Yes, they all escaped.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense.
Realizing this, a sense of joy surged in Jim’s heart.
He certainly didn’t want the people here to die, as this would make his plan unfold more smoothly.
Though filled with inner joy, Jim’s expression showed no change.
After all, Ye Xunhuan stood beside him. If he displayed any overt joy or even a slight trace of excitement, it would be difficult to explain if Ye Xunhuan detected it.
The next moment, Jim exhaled deeply, and said pretentiously, "You’re right, even if they were blown to bits, some traces should remain!"
Ye Xunhuan scanned Jim back and forth and said, "How do you think they escaped?"
"Through hidden tunnels!" Jim affirmed categorically, "Besides hidden tunnels, there’s no other possibility. Anyway, we were nearby, and even if they went out the back, after the bomb exploded, we would’ve noticed any anomalies, right?"
Ye Xunhuan wholeheartedly agreed and nodded his head: "You make sense."
"Let’s check the surroundings; we might find some secret passage or something!"
With that, Jim took the lead in searching around, appearing extremely serious.
Upon seeing this, Ye Xunhuan glanced at Jim, said nothing more, and began searching the surroundings as well.
But in the next moment, Ye Xunhuan’s phone suddenly rang.
Upon hearing the ringtone, Ye Xunhuan pulled out his phone and immediately answered the call!
"Hello..."
"Thank heavens, I finally got through to you!"
"Forsa, what happened?" Upon hearing Forsa’s voice, an ominous feeling churned in Ye Xunhuan’s heart.
Earlier, when Qiu Ruoxi was taken away, Forsa tried contacting Ye Xunhuan or Jim, but no matter how he tried, he couldn’t reach them; the phone was simply out of service!
Now, finally connecting, Forsa breathed a sigh of relief.
But quickly, nervousness surged back to his throat.
After all, Qiu Ruoxi was taken right before his eyes, a matter he couldn’t keep from Ye Xunhuan.
If he didn’t inform Ye Xunhuan, there was no point in contacting him.
Subsequently, Forsa relayed in detail the situation of Qiu Ruoxi being abducted to Ye Xunhuan, making Ye Xunhuan’s expression turn exceedingly somber.
"What’s the situation now?"
"I’ve already started retrieving surveillance footage along the route, trying hard to locate Miss Qiu..."
"Forsa, you’d better pray that my wife is unharmed, or you’ll be repenting in hell!"
With those words, Ye Xunhuan didn’t give Forsa a chance to respond and immediately hung up the phone.
In the hotel, hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words sent shivers down Forsa’s spine, and a deep fear slowly spread across his face.
He knew things would turn out like this!
At this moment, after hanging up, Ye Xunhuan informed Jim that he needed to return to the hotel.
Previously, while Ye Xunhuan was on the call, Jim’s gaze was fixed on him, and he overheard Ye Xunhuan, roughly guessing some of the situation but still asking, "Something happened to Miss Qiu?"
