The thick smell of blood instantly filled the air, and the stench of charred human flesh permeated the entire hall, making one nauseous.
It was challenging human endurance limits.
At a glance, all one could see was a sea of red, with blood mist floating everywhere, making breathing difficult.
The bomb was filled with razor blades, with astonishing destructive power.
Those who were closest were reduced to pink mush, with some still having half a section of intestines hanging from their shoulders, all injured by the explosion. One person had several razor blades embedded in his face, in excruciating pain as he covered his face and screamed.
Where that man had stood, only a puddle of minced meat and entrails remained.
[Qin Hanyue] didn't care about the disgusting bloodstains all over him. His first reaction was to rush to [Qiao Ying]'s side: "Are you hurt?"
[Qiao Ying] frowned in disgust: "I'm fine."
[Cheng Jinyan]'s voice suddenly rang out: "[Ye Si]."
The two looked over.
[Ye Si], who was slightly closer, hadn't managed to escape. A razor blade was embedded in his arm, and shrapnel from the explosion had also injured his thigh, with blood flowing continuously.
More than the injury, the bloodstains all over him infuriated [Ye Si].
He retched violently and cursed fiercely twice, suppressing the urge to vomit as he turned to check on [Qiao Ying]: "Babe, are you hurt?"
[Qiao Ying] quickly went over to inspect his injuries.
[Ye Si]: "Damn it, [An Ying] is truly deranged to use human flesh bombs. Disgusting as hell."
"If I hadn't raised my hand fast enough, this razor blade would be embedded in my face." He had almost been disfigured.
To actually use such methods, truly stopped at nothing, going all out just to kill or seriously injure [Qiao Ying].
"[An Ying] has many such suicidal followers. The shrapnel in your thigh went in too deep and needs surgery to take out. I'll stitch you up to stop the bleeding first, then go to the hospital to get your wounds treated."
[Ye Si]: "No, I need to take a shower first."
Not to mention [Ye Si] had a slight obsession with cleanliness, even the most slovenly person with excellent psychological endurance would not be able to tolerate being covered in sticky, mixed human flesh, fat, and minced meat.
[Ye Si] even felt like there was a lump of human flesh paste on his head.
He wanted nothing more to do with this house after what happened here.
Disregarding his arm injury, [Ye Si] took off his overcoat.
[Qiao Ying] said plainly: "Wound infection, crippled leg, disabled arm, walking with a cane in the future doesn't sound bad."
Successfully making [Ye Si] restrain his urge to immediately take a shower.
[Cheng Jinyan] was also extremely disgusted, taking off his jacket: "Can you walk? If not, I'll carry you to the car."
[Ye Si]: "I'll go myself, you stay."
[Ye Si] gave [Cheng Jinyan] a meaningful look, to have him stay and keep an eye on [Qin Hanyue], not letting [Qin Hanyue] take advantage of the situation.
[Cheng Jinyan] thought: They're in love with each other, what's there for me to keep watch over?
[Qiao Ying]: "Bring more men, be careful."
After scrubbing for over half an hour and using up most of a bottle of shampoo and shower gel, [Qiao Ying] finally washed the bloodstains and smell off her body.
When she came out of the bathroom, she saw [Qin Hanyue], already washed clean and changed into fresh clothes, gloomily waiting for her in the bedroom.
"With such a big company, being away for so long without handling things, won't it impact operations?" [Qiao Ying] casually chatted with him as she dried her hair.
Seeing her so nonchalant, completely unafraid, even having the mood to ask about his work, [Qin Hanyue] felt inexplicably complicated inside.
He could only say: "I have people managing things."
[Qiao Ying] went up to him and said, "Help me check if my hair is washed clean, I scrubbed my scalp sore."
"Let me see." [Qin Hanyue] carefully examined her hair for her.
"It's clean now."
He naturally took the towel from her hand and helped her dry her hair.
[Qiao Ying]: "This is just the beginning, [An Ying]'s disgusting tricks are far more than this. Be mentally prepared."
[Qin Hanyue] put away the towel and hugged her, whispering in her ear, "As long as you're fine, no matter how disgusting things get, I can endure it."
[Qiao Ying] glanced at him out of the corner of her eye: "Scared?"
[Qin Hanyue]: "Yes."
[Qiao Ying]: "Can't take it huh, Qin the Third?"
[Qin Hanyue]: "Then can Qiao girl comfort me a bit?"
[Qiao Ying] said a little disdainfully: "You, a grown man, shamelessly asking me, a woman, for comfort." Though she said that, she was quite willing to lift her arm and give his back a few pats.
[Qin Hanyue] laughed: "I, this grown man, also wanted to comfort you, this young lady, but you won't give me the chance."
[Qiao Ying] said matter-of-factly: "When I need your comfort, we'll probably be doomed already."
[Qin Hanyue]: "I really was frightened, if [Ye Si] hadn't shot in time, a little closer and you would be the one injured. Once injured and leaving the villa for the hospital, dangers would await on the road."
He tightened his arms, hugging her even closer. The period when he was on the run with her heavily injured, he never wanted to experience that again.
Alright, [Qiao Ying] felt that she was just symbolically comforting him, but now, not putting in some sincerity would be letting him down after all.
So [Qiao Ying] simply hugged him back.
The first floor hall had been cleaned up and was pristine once more.
After treating his wounds, [Ye Si] also came back, thankfully nothing untoward had happened.
The thigh injury was quite serious. [Ye Si] didn't miss the chance to deliberately bawl in pain in front of [Qiao Ying] to annoy [Qin Hanyue].
Although [Qiao Ying] said [Ye Si] didn't harbor such thoughts about her, how could the jealous [Qin Hanyue] not mind.
Moreover, [Ye Si] had pursued [Qiao Ying] before, who knew if his feelings had been completely dismissed.
And now [Ye Si] was up to mischief again: "Babe, I think the wound on my arm might be infected, help me take a look later."
"Also, my heart has felt stuffy these past few days, probably shocked by the explosion. Help me prick some acupuncture points to smooth my qi."
[Qiao Ying] looked at [Qin Hanyue] sitting alone and silently on the single sofa, then glanced at [Ye Si]. She thought: If she went over right now to kiss [Qin Hanyue], would [Ye Si] drop dead directly?
Not dead, but his wounds would definitely be aggravated by him to the point they wouldn't heal for months.
"[Qiao Ying], rest early." She deliberately addressed her like that. After all, [Qin Hanyue] still had to apply medication for her later.
[Qin Hanyue]: "Alright, good night."
[Ye Si] was so angry his wounds hurt.
The human flesh bomb was just the beginning.
Having discovered [Qiao Ying]'s whereabouts, [An Ying] began plotting and scheming ceaselessly.
The powerful robots that [Qiao Ying] had reactivated were now deployed as patrol guards. The robots were capable of much more than ordinary humans.
If the robots had been present then, they could have scanned and detected the explosives hidden in [An Ying] follower's body, completely avoiding what happened.
Early morning, [Qin Hanyue] watched the robot wandering around the hall.
He called it: "Qiao One."
The robot turned its head to look at him, scanned [Qin Hanyue] fully, and after not detecting any danger, it continued wandering.
Arrogantly ignoring him.
[Cheng Jinyan]'s voice rang out from the second floor: "[Qin Hanyue]"
[Qin Hanyue] looked up at him: "Lawyer Cheng, did you need something?"
[Cheng Jinyan] smiled amiably and pointed at the robot: "I called it just now."
