Chapter 2612: Chapter 2612: Blow Up the Treasury
Ruan Tianling said in a low voice, "He said he would let us go tomorrow."
"Let us go?"
"Yes."
"What are the terms of the deal?" Nangong Yi asked again.
Ruan Tianling pondered for a moment and didn’t hide anything from him, explaining the situation about Nangong Xu being poisoned.
Nangong Yi lowered his eyes in thought, "I don’t believe he will sincerely let us go."
"I also didn’t say I would sincerely give him the antidote," Ruan Tianling crossed his legs.
Nangong Yi glanced at him, "Looks like you already have your plan."
Ruan Tianling nodded.
Making a deal with Nangong Xu can’t be too straightforward, surely Nangong Xu is aware of his intentions too.
But everyone is trying to survive, and at this time, as long as both sides can make a deal, it’s fine.
Nangong Yi reminded him, "Though you have your plan, you still need to be extra careful, Nangong Xu is not easy to deal with."
Ruan Tianling’s eyes darkened; he wasn’t sure how much certainty he had regarding tomorrow’s deal.
"Boom—"
As they sat in silence, an explosion suddenly rang out. Although the distance dampened the sound, it was clear that the explosion’s power was considerable.
Moreover, the whole ground shook.
Jian Yufei asked nervously, "Did an earthquake happen again?"
The shaking lasted a few seconds before stopping.
Ruan Tianling immediately got up and walked outside.
Jian Yufei and Nangong Yi followed——
At this moment, the sky wasn’t completely dark yet, the sea outside was violently churning.
There were still some bodyguards standing by the shore.
"What exactly happened?" Jian Yufei asked again.
Ruan Tianling said with pursed lips, "If I’m not mistaken, Nangong Xu probably blew up the Treasury."
Jian Yufei was stunned, "Blew it up?"
"Yes."
Nangong Xu probably transported all the treasures away; perhaps some unable to be moved were left inside.
But to prevent others from discovering the existence of the Treasury, he blew it up.
"He just blew it up like that..." Jian Yufei’s tone contained a trace of regret.
Ruan Tianling gave her an astonished glance but didn’t ask much.
Jian Yufei naturally saw his gaze.
They stood at the doorway for a while longer before returning to their rooms.
However, that night, none of them slept soundly.
What tomorrow’s outcome will be, nobody knows.
*************
The fiery red sun rose from the horizon.
Just as day broke, Nangong Xu woke up.
He called a maid to help him dress——
As the maid was about to button his shirt, Nangong Xu abruptly spat out a mouthful of blood, splattering all over the maid’s face.
"Ah——" the maid screamed in terror.
Nangong Xu clutched his chest, staggered two steps back, and the bodyguards outside rushed in to support him.
"Boss, are you okay?!"
Nangong Xu’s voice was weak, "I’m fine... just call the doctor first."
"Yes!"
Several doctors hurriedly came to examine his condition.
They had just made some progress in researching his illness, but still didn’t have the antidote, so they injected some beneficial medication into him.
Nangong Xu rested in bed for two hours, gradually regaining some strength.
"Are all the preparations done?" Nangong Xu asked.
The bodyguards respectfully replied, "Everything is ready."
Nangong Xu nodded, "Go call Ruan Tianling and the others."
"Yes!"
...
Jian Yufei and Ruan Tianling also woke up early.
Even Nangong Yi had tidied himself up and appeared energetic.
They had been waiting in the living room, and before long, someone came to fetch them.
