Chapter 2617: Chapter 2617: Fall Back to the Beach
Ruan Tianling looked at her, "What’s the reason?"
Under everyone’s gaze, the maid said guiltily, "This morning I saw a few bodyguards burying something at the foot of the mountain, it seemed very mysterious. Then I was accidentally discovered by them, I was afraid they might kill me to silence me, so I ran away..."
"They didn’t see your face?" Nangong Yi asked.
The maid shook her head, "No."
Nangong Yi speculated, "They must have been afraid you would leak the information, but didn’t know who you were and didn’t have time to find out, so they decided to silence everyone."
Nangong Yi really got it right, and everyone agreed with his assessment.
"Now take us to find what they buried," Ruan Tianling said calmly.
The maid nodded quickly, "Okay!"
So, they all marched toward the foot of the mountain.
...
"It seems to be there—" the maid pointed to a spot ahead.
The others were about to move forward when Ruan Tianling raised his hand to stop them, "Everyone, step back!"
Seeing his serious expression, everyone stepped back.
Ruan Tianling did not move forward but crouched on the ground.
He placed his ear on the ground and listened for a while, his face turning very grim.
He stood up abruptly and ordered, "Everyone retreat to the seaside!"
A maid asked in confusion, "Why, what’s buried there?"
"Yes, what’s buried there?"
Ruan Tianling retorted coldly, "If you don’t want to die, then back off!"
His words changed everyone’s expression.
These maids were just servants; they didn’t have much courage.
They didn’t dare to stay and all turned and ran away.
"You go too!" Ruan Tianling looked at Jian Yufei.
Jian Yufei shook her head, "I’m not leaving!"
"Listen to me, go to the seaside and wait for me."
Jian Yufei’s attitude was firm, "I’m not going! Wherever you are, that’s where I will be."
Ruan Tianling frowned, "It’s dangerous here!"
"That’s exactly why I can’t leave. What’s buried there, a bomb? If it is, then I definitely can’t leave, if we die, we die together."
"Yufei..."
Jian Yufei interrupted him with a smile, "You don’t have to persuade me. Instead of worrying constantly, I’d rather stay by your side."
"Let cousin stay," Nangong Yi, who hadn’t left, said.
"If it is truly a bomb, even if they retreat to the seaside, it won’t help."
Ruan Tianling said displeased, "How could it not help? If it explodes, they can immediately jump into the sea."
"I’m not very good at swimming, and the sea is so rough, if I jump in, it’s as good as dying," Jian Yufei quickly said.
Nangong Yi nodded in agreement, "Cousin is right."
Ruan Tianling sighed and said helplessly, "Then at least stand further away."
"Okay." That was no problem.
Jian Yufei backed up about ten meters.
Ruan Tianling looked at Nangong Yi, who hadn’t moved, and asked calmly, "Do you understand bombs?"
"A little."
"Alright, come help me."
Nangong Yi smiled lightly, "That’s only natural."
Ruan Tianling was very familiar with bombs, or rather, he was well-versed in anything related to weaponry.
Under his guidance, he and Nangong Yi successfully unearthed a very large bomb.
The two carefully lifted the bomb out, and seeing this bomb, Nangong Yi and Ruan Tianling’s faces looked grim.
The bomb had a timer attached to it—
And the time it displayed was only an hour and a half.
Nangong Yi asked in a low voice, "How powerful is this thing?"
Ruan Tianling pressed his lips together, "Blowing up this small island wouldn’t be a problem."
