Chapter 922 - A Close Call
Chapter 922: A Close Call
Shangguan Wan stared at the figure standing beside the bed. Her heart was beating faster now, as she was utterly flabbergasted. “Bo Yan? Are you really Bo Yan?”
The man nodded.
He knew that Shangguan Wan must be very shocked to see him come back to life.
However, he didn’t have time to explain too much to her and he hurriedly took out a security uniform that was the same as he was wearing. “Is your leg alright? Can you endure the pain and walk out with me?”
Seeing that Bo Yan was speaking, his attitude and tone the same as a normal person, Shangguan Wan did not let her mind wander, only nodding in response to his question. “I can endure it!”
She was a soldier, and had a determination that normal people didn’t have. She wasn’t even afraid of dying, not to mention enduring the pain in her leg and walking!
“Good. Go and change quickly and leave with me.” When Bo Yan was done speaking, he left the bedroom to go to the living room.
Shangguan Wan knew there was not much time. Pulling off her robes, she changed as quickly as she could, before she tied her hair up and wore the hat.
Seeing that Shangguan Wan was done, Bo Yan said, “There’s a car here that will go out to the shops every week. I’ve already arranged for the driver to be one of our men. I’ll bring you there later and you leave with the car.”
Shangguan Wan was very confused, but she held onto the urge to ask anything. She merely said, “Alright.”
Her current condition was not suitable to fight with them. Staying here would only burden them.
It was clear that Bo Yan was already familiar with the place as he led Shangguan Wan out of the castle from the back door.
The two of them walked one after another. It was already late at night, so it was rather quiet around them.
After they walked out from the back door and was about to go into a small alley, a deep and energetic voice trailed over suddenly. “Stop there!”
Shangguan Wan’s heart skipped a beat.
This voice sounded like that of the main butler!
The main butler had woken up from his sleep. Now that he was older, he slept less, so he went to walk around. He didn’t expect to see two figures at the back door.
Bo Yan and Shangguan Wan appeared to be very calm, their backs upright.
“What are the two of you doing here in the middle of the night?”
Bo Yan lowered his voice as he said, “On patrol.”
The main butler walked towards them, his furrowed eyebrows easing when he saw that they were wearing the base’s security uniform. “There are twelve people on the patrol team, why are there only you two?”
The main butler was getting closer to them.
Shangguan Wan’s hands that were resting by her side slowly clenched into fists.
“Turn around, the two of you!”
Bo Yan turned around first, looking down as he made a hand gesture to Shangguan Wan.
Shangguan Wan immediately moved away and Bo Yan took out a silenced gun from his waist, aiming it accurately at the main butler.
The two of them worked together to tie the main butler up, pushing something into his mouth to silence him before they threw him in some quiet corner.
When they were done, Bo Yan noted that Shangguan Wan’s face was a little pale, and he asked quietly, “Are you okay?”
“I can still hold on.”
Bo Yan nodded as he brought Shangguan Wan to a large lorry hurriedly.
“Leave quickly and don’t turn back!”
Shangguan Wan sat on the car as directed. Staring at Bo Yan, who was bracing himself for a fight, she asked with furrowed eyebrows, “All of you have to come back safe!”
Bo Yan nodded.
The lorry started its engine. Shangguan Wan poked her head out of the window. Staring at Bo Yan’s straight figure, she thought about Ye Yanfeng. Countless scenes flashed in her mind and her eyes were slowly covered with a layer of moisture. Her lips trembled, before she said two more words to Bo Yan. “Him too.”
The vehicle slowly drove away.
Shangguan Wan’s tears that were swirling in her eyes finally fell as her eyes fluttered shut.
…
In order to live longer, Ye Fengshu got a master to prescribe him a god-like pill.
He would take one every night before he slept.
However, he didn’t know why, but recently when he took the pill, his chest would start to feel stuffy and suffocated.
He took his phone, planning to call the doctor over.
Suddenly, a soft sound trailed over from the door.
Noting that something was wrong, Ye Fengshu immediately took out a gun from under his pillow.
The lights were very dim, so he could not see the person’s face clearly. He could only vaguely see the silver robe on the figure.
“Butler?”
The man didn’t reply, closing the door behind him after he walked into the room.
“You’re not the butler. Who are you?” Ye Fengshu raised his gun, aiming it accurately at the person’s head.
Bo Yan took off his face veil. After he sent Shangguan Wan to the vehicle, he changed into the butler’s clothes. The guards on duty thought that he was the butler, so he wasn’t stopped from going into Ye Fengshu’s room.
Through the dim lights, Ye Fengshu could faintly see Bo Yan’s calm silhouette.
His expression immediately changed. “Bo Yan, you didn’t die?”
Ye Fengshu took a few steps back, ringing the alarm before he held his gun, shooting at Bo Yan.
However, his limbs suddenly felt weak.
He wanted to press the trigger several times, but he could not muster any strength.
“My hand?” Ye Fengshu’s expression was dark as he fell on the floor with weak legs. “What’s going on?”
How did his limbs become so weak?
Very quickly, he understood what was going on.
Someone must have changed his pills for another.
And the person who had the ability to do this without raising any suspicion was Ye Yanfeng!
That day, Ye Yanfeng didn’t kill Bo Yan and his men at all. He returned with Uncle Zhong to catch him and ruin his base!
Ye Yanfeng did all of this without Shangguan Wan’s knowledge, which was why Shangguan Wan was so sad and hated him so much!
It was how the show could be so real!
However, Ye Fengshu simply couldn’t understand. He had already inserted a chip into Ye Yanfeng’s head and could take his life anytime!
Did he not want his life anymore?
The alarm rang, and the castle and base went into top security alert.
The guards on shift knocked on Ye Fengshu’s door. “Master, what’s wrong?”
“The government’s military has infiltrated us!”
The moment Ye Fengshu finished speaking, he was hauled up defenselessly by Bo Yan.
“None of you can leave! I’ve spent so much effort and time in the last few years. We have the most advanced weapons here in the secret base. Now that our security alarm is ringing, all of you will be bombed into pieces, even if you send your fighter jets here!” Ye Fengshu declared arrogantly.
With narrowed eyes, Bo Yan pushed Ye Fengshu out of the room. “His Highness has already gone to the secret base to destroy your weapons himself!”
“Him destroying my weapons? Such a joke. My weaponry is filled with death warriors and the latest models of robots. How capable is he to be able to destroy them? Even if he could go in, without my retina scan, he can’t even go out, unless…” Ye Fengshu seemed to have thought of something, his expression changed instantly. “Did he already make the decision to sacrifice himself? No, no, no, he’s my son, I know him very well. He doesn’t have it in him to sacrifice himself for the sake of the greater good. He has always been a useless thing that is scared of dying!”
At the thought of what Ye Yanfeng had sent to him, Bo Yan’s voice was cold. “That’s because you never understood and cared for your son!”
