Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Is Su Wan Going to Die?
There is a device in the Imperial Palace that will blow up the entire palace.
Gu Zilan froze on the spot.
Manya and Ruanruan were still in the palace!
On this side, White Tiger whispered into Gu Jue’s earpiece, "Master, I have made contact with madam! Madam said that she, Xiaochen, the Empress, and Ruanruan are all temporarily safe."
Gu Jue said, "Tell Wanwan that there is an explosive device in the palace."
Here, Gu Tao suddenly burst into crazed laughter.
"I’ve placed the device somewhere none of you will be able to find! Don’t waste your efforts; none of you will find it!"
"Gu Zilan, I’ll give you ten minutes to think."
"Either agree to my demand, or let your wives and children accompany me in death. After all, I’ve lived long enough."
Gu Zilan gritted his teeth in anger, "If you’ve lived long enough, why must you insist on sitting on that throne?"
Gu Tao said expressionlessly, "One minute has passed already, my young emperor."
Gu Zilan clenched his teeth!
In Su Wan’s earpiece came the calm voice of Vermilion Bird.
Vermilion Bird said, "Master, the male master says there is an explosive device here that will detonate in nine minutes. That Gu Tao is threatening the male master and the others, saying he wants the throne or else he’ll blow up the entire Imperial Palace!"
Who could have expected Gu Tao to have gone so mad!
There was less than ten minutes left, and there was simply no way to find the explosive device!
Luo Manya looked at the Star Warriors at the door holding laser guns.
She turned to Su Wan and said calmly, "Xiaowan, I know you have a Super S-class mecha; please take Ruanruan with you."
A mecha could only be operated by one person, and it was a stretch to carry two children.
It was simply impossible to take another adult out!
Not to mention that there were many of Gu Tao’s people outside, and Su Wan might not be able to break out unscathed.
But there was still a glimmer of hope.
Because Luo Manya had no better plan.
If Gu Zilan truly ceded the throne to Gu Tao,
their family of three would not be able to survive either!
No matter what, they had to save Ruanruan’s life...
Su Wan shook her head, "No, I won’t leave you here!"
She turned to Xiaochen and said, "Xiaochen, stay here and protect the Empress and Ruanruan. If someone comes close and tries to hurt them, shock them with electricity, shock them to death, understand?"
Xiaochen clutched Su Wan’s hand anxiously and said, "What about you, Mommy? What about you?"
Su Wan let go of Xiaochen’s hand.
She focused.
She concentrated hard, desperate to think of the location of the explosive device that could blow up the entire Imperial Palace...
Vermilion Bird’s voice came through Su Wan’s earpiece.
Vermilion Bird said, "Master, the male master said to try if you can teleport out with them. If not, teleport yourself out!"
"Shut up!"
Su Wan suddenly snapped coldly.
She refused to escape alone.
If she could escape, but with the palace so vast and many residential areas nearby,
and if it truly exploded, many, many people might die!!
What she needed to think about right now was not to escape.
But to find that explosive device, where on Earth could it be!
Where on Earth could the explosive device be... It must be in a very difficult to find place, because it was hard to find, that’s why Gu Tao could tell them so blatantly and without any scruples.
Because he was not worried about being found...
When Gu Jue learned of Su Wan’s decision, his face darkened.
He turned to call his mecha into action.
Gu Tao sneered, "Commander Gu, aren’t you worried about your wife and child? If you dare to drive your mecha in here, I will kill Su Wan first! Then, I will kill your son!"
"A natural-born Super Beastman, oh, how envious people must be. Why can’t we even have a high-class Beastman in our family?"
Gu Jue’s movements briefly halted.
He stared intently at Gu Tao, "Gu Tao, if you dare to lay a finger on Wanwan or Xiaochen, I’ll make sure you have nowhere to bury your corpse!"
"Ha ha, I’m so scared! How about it, Gu Zilan, have you made up your mind yet? There’s only seven minutes left."
Gu Zilan’s lips parted slightly.
His eyes were bloodshot.
Due to extreme anger and excitement, his body began to undergo Beast Transformation.
Only six minutes left!
Gu Jue had already ordered Eric to evacuate the people around the Imperial Palace.
The entire Star Network was also broadcasting this palace upheaval live.
Lin Ranyue’s home was very close to the Imperial Palace. Su Xiaoge came over and asked her to quickly take the children and leave.
Lin Ranyue asked anxiously, "What happened?"
Su Xiaoge: "Prince Gu is staging a palace coup, forcing His Majesty to abdicate. He’s taken the Empress and others as hostages and is threatening to blow up the Imperial Palace."
Su Xiaoge ultimately did not tell Lin Ranyue the truth.
That is, little Sister Wanwan and little Gu Chen are also inside the Imperial Palace right now...
Meanwhile, in a run-down apartment, Huo Yichang, reeking of alcohol, watched the live broadcast on his light-computer.
Huo Yichang suddenly burst into laughter.
"Su Wan, oh Su Wan, I told you to choose Commander Gu, and now you’re about to die. Tell me, wouldn’t it have been good if you had married me back then?"
He laughed and laughed, but then he started crying.
No, no, no, the one who ran away from the wedding was him, not Su Wan.
Huo Yichang, mad with grief, covered his face and cried, "Wanwan, I’m sorry! If we had gotten married back then, I wouldn’t have ended up like this, and you wouldn’t be about to die..."
In the Chen Family Restaurant, the live broadcast was playing.
Someone with sharp eyes immediately recognized, "Oh my God, that means Su Wan, the owner of the Su Family Restaurant, is currently in the Imperial Palace and is going to be bombed to death in a matter of minutes?"
Su Zhen, who had just walked out of the kitchen, saw the tense situation on the screen.
He was stunned.
A chubby man next to him gloated, "Su Zhen, once Su Wan dies, you could take the chance to return to the Su Family and take back the management rights to the Su Family Restaurant, right? When that happens, our two families can merge, and we’ll become the largest chain restaurant in the Empire."
Su Zhen was silent for a while.
"But after all, she’s my daughter..."
The chubby man sneered, "You think of her as your daughter, but has she ever considered you her father?"
Su Zhen was slightly taken aback.
Yes, such a daughter who never had a place for her father in her heart and eyes.
It would be better if she died!
In the tenth district, the Su Family Restaurant branch.
Little Sheng Le watched the live broadcast situation in the hall.
Suddenly, the pot in his hand clanged to the ground.
The well-simmered soup spilled all over the floor.
Su Teng habitually scolded his apprentice, "You little rascal, after having learnt from me for so long, how can you still be so clumsy? If you keep this up, I..."
He stopped mid-scold when he saw that his apprentice’s face was covered in tears.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"They said, Sister Su Wan is going to die..."
Five minutes left.
Gu Zilan clenched his fists, about to agree to the demands of the mad old man.
But at his side, Gu Jue heard White Tiger’s urgent voice through his earpiece.
White Tiger: "Master, master! Vermilion Bird says that the lady has succeeded! She’s found the explosive device. She’s asking you what to do next!"
