Chapter 175 The Great Escape

Looking down from here, you could see many people screaming and crying below. In the darkness, there were layers of firelight and shadows of lights.

But Fang Yue was lost, standing in place.

His mind was blank, and he felt like his whole being was muddled.

There was only a buzzing sound in his ears, and everything in front of him seemed unreal.

His mind was filled with memories of Yuan-jie.

Living with Yuan-jie during his internship, having no friends after graduation, only Yuan-jie not disliking him.

And recently, even after becoming successful, his relationship with Yuan-jie hadn't become distant or changed.

In Jianghai City, Yuan-jie was like his family, giving him mental support, his spiritual pillar during his early years of hardship.

But now… Yuan-jie was dead!

Killed by unknown people!

An unquenchable, monstrous rage ignited in his heart!

Fang Yue felt his whole body trembling, but this time, it wasn't because of sadness or pain, but anger.

Anger that could almost burn away reason!

Jumping down along the outer wall of the building that was mostly destroyed, using the windows of several floors as landing points, Fang Yue landed smoothly on the ground in the astonished and shocked gazes of others.

"Mommy! That big brother is so awesome!"

"Daddy, I want to learn this! I want to learn this!"

"Extreme sports? Young people are good. To be able to jump down like that after an accident, amazing!"

People gathered around, pointing and commenting on Fang Yue, mostly with an attitude of indifference, just watching the excitement.

Sirens sounded in the distance. Fang Yue's cold eyes swept over the crowd, then locked onto the direction where Bai Xiaoya's helicopter had landed.

Soon, amidst the crowd, he saw the landed helicopter, and… A-Ming.

Fang Yue went over and pulled him to a corner, asking, "Where's Bai Xiaoya?"

Looking at Fang Yue's lifeless eyes and his calm tone, A-Ming felt a chilling sensation rising from his heart.

"...Da, Da Xiaojie (Young Miss) is squeezing through the stairs with people, like you, wanting to go up and find Yuan-jie."

"You should have followed her."

"Da Xiaojie runs very fast…"

"She'll freak out."

"What…" A-Ming was stunned for a moment, then fell silent. After a while, he said, "Yuan-jie… is dead?"

"The room was blown up."

A-Ming clenched his fists. "It's not… it definitely wasn't Boss who did it. Boss wouldn't do something like this!"

Fang Yue's eyes seemed to turn into dead fish eyes, and his whole demeanor became extremely gloomy. "It doesn't matter. I'll find him and ask him myself."

After a pause, Fang Yue said, "Call Bai Xiaoya and tell her to come back."

"What if Da Xiaojie refuses…"

"Then tell her I want to talk to her father, Bai Su'e. She's a smart person and will understand what I mean."

A-Ming was silent again. The surrounding noise continued, and the fire burning the building illuminated Fang Yue's face, making his calm and gloomy face appear fiery red, as if he were a bloodthirsty beast ready to pounce at any moment.

After hesitating, A-Ming dialed Bai Xiaoya's number.

Soon, a noisy voice came from the other end, and then… A-Ming's expression gradually became shocked and strange.

Fang Yue immediately noticed the change in A-Ming's expression. "What's wrong?"

A-Ming didn't speak, but just handed the phone to Fang Yue.

He took the phone, puzzled…

"A-Yue! A-Yue! Look, look! A building in our neighborhood had a gas explosion! It's so lively, there's a crowd of people… Eh, eh, eh! Wait! Wait! Isn't that our home? Xiaoya! Xiaoya! Something's wrong! That's our home, our home!! Waaah, waaaah!!!"

Fang Yue: …

Fang Yue: ???

Fang Yue: ???!!!

What the hell!?

What the hell is going on!!!

"Yuan-jie!! You, you're okay, you… you, that's great! That's great!"

Tears welled up in his eyes, and Fang Yue quickly turned aside to wipe them away, excitedly saying, "Yuan-jie, where are you? Where are you now?"

While Fang Yue was anxiously asking, the other side was thinking about what food was left in the refrigerator that hadn't been eaten, and what private money was hidden in secret places that she hadn't had a chance to take out, and so on.

Yuan-jie's absent-mindedness sometimes left Fang Yue speechless.

Fortunately, at this time, Bai Xiaoya's voice came from the phone.

"Yuan-jie and I are at the entrance of the neighborhood. You guys come over."

"Okay!"

After telling A-Ming, Fang Yue went straight to the neighborhood gate.

On the way, he didn't forget to use his phone to confirm the situation with Bai Xiaoya.

Only then did he learn that Yuan-jie was originally obediently waiting for them to come home, since they had talked before and confirmed that they would be back today.

However, Yuan-jie was a carefree person. She had originally planned to have a hot pot feast together in the evening, but when it was almost time to start the hot pot, she remembered that she had forgotten to buy the important fresh lamb rolls, so she turned off the stove and went out to buy lamb rolls.

When she came back, she even entered the wrong building. Hearing the building rumble and shake, she was so frightened that she thought it was an earthquake, and ran downstairs like crazy, then ran into Bai Xiaoya.

"I thought the building I entered was our neighborhood. I even wanted to call you guys to watch the fun…"

Yuan-jie said with a look of lingering fear.

Although this person was a bit careless and usually unreliable, her luck was really good.

If Yuan-jie didn't have this quirk, she would definitely have died at home today.

Fang Yue's eyes were red as he grabbed Yuan-jie's hand. "It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay…"

Bai Xiaoya fell into Yuan-jie's arms, her eyes red, silently shedding tears.

Yuan-jie scratched her head. Although she didn't understand what was going on, she still comforted the two of them.

"It's just a gas explosion, don't cry, don't cry, I'm fine, hahaha."

Yuan-jie said with a laugh.

The three of them stayed close together for a while before Fang Yue calmed down.

Fang Yue gave Bai Xiaoya a look, then had A-Ming guard Yuan-jie, while he and Bai Xiaoya went to a corner.

Yuan-jie's eyes widened when she saw this scene.

"Huh?! You, has your relationship reached this stage? That was fast!"

A-Ming couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he heard this.

He now had a general understanding of Yuan-jie's personality.

On the other side, the two in the corner had already started talking.

"Bai Xiaoya, although Yuan-jie was lucky enough to be unharmed, we must investigate this matter thoroughly. Obviously, someone is targeting me, or targeting you."

They both had their own secrets, and they both had enemies. This kind of bombing was obviously aimed at them, not Yuan-jie.

Even if they really wanted to kill Yuan-jie, it would be a plan aimed at them.

"Who do you think did it?" Bai Xiaoya looked up at Fang Yue, her eyes cold and sharp!

"Who did it doesn't matter. What matters is who is easier to investigate. We can't afford to investigate the Allied Society or the Dark Shadow Society, and we don't have any clues. But your father, Bai Su'e, we can definitely find him if we want to!"
