Chapter 1652: Jinx

“Military clearance?! There’s really a sniper outside?!” Gu Nianzhi covered her mouth in shock and squeezed out a sentence from between her fingers.

Huo Shaoheng nodded slightly and said in a low voice, “This person’s methods are very professional. If it were me, I would have done the same. So He Zhichu should know what to do.”

Gu Nianzhi muttered, “... No wonder Young Master He didn’t let me out...”

Was he worried that there were snipers outside?

“Are they targeting me?” Gu Nianzhi asked again after a while.

She calmed down and couldn’t help thinking of Luo Piaopiao. She felt a little uncomfortable.

She also felt a sense of guilt for indirectly causing her death.

“What do you think?” Huo Shaoheng saw the uneasiness on her face and analyzed it for her. “Maybe it’s because of your unusual interest in Luo Piaopiao, which alerted the people behind the scenes. But it’s not your fault, it’s the murderer’s fault.”

Gu Nianzhi’s mood did not improve because of this. She took out the small transparent plastic bag that contained Luo Piaopiao’s hair and said in a daze, “... Do you think Luo Piaopiao still has a chance of survival?”

Huo Shaoheng shook his head. “That’s the most powerful C-X series explosive. One milligram can blow up an elephant to pieces. Think about Luo Piaopiao’s size. She’s only a proportion of the size of an elephant. Think about how she’ll blow up.”

Luo Piaopiao was blown to pieces almost instantly and turned to ashes from the high temperature.

Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes. The corners of her eyes were wet. “The other party is indeed meticulous. Then, this hair sample will never be publicly used as evidence in a court of law.”

Huo Shaoheng stared at her and sighed as he said, “It was our oversight. We thought you were only interacting with Luo Piaopiao as a friend. Plus, Luo Piaopiao was the one who approached you first. We didn’t expect the other party to cover up such a small loophole.”

“After we get out, we should immediately find Luo Piaopiao’s dental records and get her blood sample from her family doctor.” Gu Nianzhi pulled herself together and gripped the small plastic bag tightly. Her eyes were filled with anger. “I will not let her die in vain!”

Huo Shaoheng looked away, and his expression was grim.

Not long after, Gu Nianzhi’s phone rang again.

She quickly swiped open the call.

“Young Master He!”

It was blood sample.

The Huaxia Empire’s most elite Wu Zhi squadron was flying around the top floor of the building.

“Are you alone? Stay where you are, I’ll find you!” He Zhichu was about to jump out of the helicopter.

Gu Nianzhi quickly said, “I’m with Mr. Peter. Where are you, Young Master He?”

“... Peter? He came with you?” He Zhichu understood something.

So Gu Nianzhi had rejected his invitation to have lunch with Luo Piaopiao and the Ace of the Far East, Peter?

He tried to hide his displeasure but was relieved. He sat back in his seat and said, “Then let him escort you out to the top floor. I’ll wait for you there.”

Gu Nianzhi nodded and hurried out of the storage room with Huo Shaoheng.

Outside the storage room was the narrow corridor of the revolving restaurant.

The fire was coming from both ends, but it had slowed down considerably.

Fortunately, the revolving restaurant had enough fire extinguishers to hold it off for a while.

There were quite a few members of the Qin family hiding here.

Gu Nianzhi saw Grandfather Qin lying on the ground, on the verge of death.

Her uncles were kneeling beside Old Master Qin, holding tissues to stop the blood from flowing out of his forehead.

Gu Nianzhi turned around and saw someone coming out of the storage room. Her aunt immediately said, “It’s Miss Gu and Mr. Peter! Aren’t you guys in the bathroom?”

She quickly asked, “Where’s Piaopiao? Where’s Piaopiao? Didn’t you go to the bathroom with her?”

“Yeah, there was an explosion in the bathroom too. We thought...” Uncle Qin sized up Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng. “Since you guys are fine, what about Piaopiao?”

Gu Nianzhi sniffled and silently lowered her head. She shook her head and said, “I don’t know what happened to Piaopiao. There was an explosion in the bathroom. I ran out and was saved by Mr. Peter.”

Her words were half true and half false, because this was not the time to tell the truth.

“But I thought I heard the sound of a phone!” Gu Nianzhi’s aunt wrapped a wet scarf around her face. She looked at Gu Nianzhi and asked suspiciously, “Is your phone working? None of our phones have a signal. Can you contact them? We can’t be trapped here. The restaurant manager used a landline to call the police, and now there’s even a problem with the landline.”

Gu Nianzhi avoided answering and said vaguely, “Young Master He will come to save us.”

She looked at Old Master Qin lying on the ground and asked hesitantly, “What happened to Old Master Qin?”

“There were several bombs at the restaurant... my son, my poor child...” The second aunt of the Qin family burst into tears again. Wishing she could pounce on her and tear her apart., she looked at Gu Nianzhi hatefully She gritted her teeth and said, “You’re a jinx! You’re a jinx! If it weren’t for you, how would we have encountered such a thing today? !”

One of her sons and daughter-in-law had been killed by the explosion on the spot.

She had almost gone mad.

The surviving members of the Qin family quickly comforted her and held her back.

Gu Nianzhi looked at the Qin family members in silence.

Ten minutes ago, they had looked gorgeous, but now they were all in a tragic state.

She knew that she was in the same situation.

Huo Shaoheng patted her shoulder and commanded the Qin family members. He said, “Old Master Qin seems to be seriously injured. Young Master He is already here with a helicopter. Hurry up and carry him up. Use the helicopter to send him to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment.”

The survivors of the Qin family looked at each other and began to discuss.

The uncle of the Qin family called a restaurant staff over and asked, “Where can we go to the roof?”

The staff member was also trapped on the 36th floor. He quickly said, “There are no other passageways to go out. There is a movable ladder at the end of this corridor that can be pulled down to climb to the roof.”

He added, “The exit is very small. Only one person can pass through it.”

After the Qin family had discussed this, they asked a nephew of the third generation of the Qin family to scout the way out first.

He was relatively young and not very tall, so he quickly climbed up the stairs, pushed open the partition on the roof, and went up to the roof.

When he reached the roof of the building, he saw that there were indeed more than ten helicopters hovering at a low altitude. He was overjoyed and quickly waved his hands and shouted, “Young Master He? Young Master He? Is it Young Master He? !”

He Zhichu looked down from the helicopter and did not see Gu Nianzhi. Instead, he saw a young man. He didn’t look familiar, but he was no stranger either. He just couldn’t remember who this person was.

He Zhichu didn’t remember until this person told him his name. This was a member of the Qin family, a nephew of Qin Yaoguang’s.

Why did this person come up instead of Gu Nianzhi?

He Zhichu’s heart tightened. He immediately grabbed the helicopter’s rope ladder and jumped down.

“What’s going on? Are you alone?” He Zhichu grabbed the young man’s shoulder as soon as he came down.

The man grimaced in pain from He Zhichu’s grip and quickly said, “There are still a lot of people down there! They asked me to come up and take a look! Young Master He, it’s really you!”

“Where’s Gu Nianzhi? Have you seen Nianzhi?” He Zhichu asked without hesitation.

“Yes, she was the one who told us that you were coming to pick us up! “The man was ecstatic. The feeling of having narrowly escaped death made him unable to think too much. He quickly said, “My grandfather is seriously injured. Can Young Master He help send my grandfather to the Qin Corporation’s Hospital nearby? !”

He Zhichu was slightly startled. “Old Master Qin? He was also injured?”

“Yes... My grandfather was protecting my youngest brother. His back was injured by the explosion, his head was also hurt, and he was bleeding a lot...” As this person spoke, he was about to cry.

He Zhichu didn’t want to listen to him anymore. He said in a low voice, “Quickly get them to send people up. Everyone, come up. I have brought enough helicopters.”

The man nodded. “There are more than a dozen people in our family. With Miss Gu and Mr. Peter, can we all fit?”

“Cut the crap! Get down!” He Zzhichu slapped the man and chased him down.

Not long after, the members of the Qin family climbed out of the stairwell one by one.

The first one to be pushed out was, of course, the unconscious Old Master Qin.

He Zhichu stood above the exit and helped them pull Old Master Qin out. He also helped them put Old Master Qin on the helicopter and quickly flew to the nearby hospital.

By the time Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng came up, the fire below had almost reached the exit.

The staff of the revolving restaurant were the last to come out. There were seven or eight of them, and they stood on the roof at a loss. Their faces were full of shock, as if they couldn’t believe that they had been rescued.

He Zhichu wore flying sunglasses and carried a temporary umbrella bag. He looked at them and waved his hand. “You guys get on the helicopter at the back.”

He turned to look at Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng. “Nianzhi, Mr. Peter, you guys come with me.”

He Zhichu said as he threw two bulletproof vests over. “Put them on.”

Gu Nianzhi wanted to say that she had them, but Huo Shaoheng pulled her hand away. She immediately said, “Thank you, Young Master He! You’re so thoughtful!”

He Zhichu pursed his lips and pretended not to see Gu Nianzhi and the Ace of the Far East’s little movement. He said calmly, “Hurry up and get up there. There’s a helicopter from the fire brigade coming to put out the fire.”

The fire started from the top floor and there was an explosion. If the fire wasn’t put out in time, it was very likely that the entire building would collapse.

The famous “911 “twin towers had collapsed in front of the world just like that.

Gu Nianzhi quickly asked, “Have the people on the other floors of this building evacuated?”

“All of them have. You’re the last ones.” He Zhichu didn’t say anything more. He grabbed Gu Nianzhi by the waist and tied the sling around her waist. He watched as she was pulled into the helicopter. Then, he and Huo Shaoheng pulled the rope ladder that had been thrown from the helicopter from behind and quickly climbed into the helicopter.

Just as they sat down in the helicopter, He Zhichu received a call from his subordinate.

“Young Master He, the snipers on the opposite two buildings have been eliminated by the fighter jets.” He Zhichu’s personal secretary was in charge of eliminating the snipers. He had the rank of colonel and was his most capable assistant. “All Clear.”

“Thank you for your hard work.” He Zhichu nodded lightly. “Are the bodies here? Can we get an ID?”

“Yes.” The person on the other side hesitated for a moment before saying in a low voice, “It’s the Russians, and they’re using soviet-made weapons as well.”

He Zhichu’s hand tightened. He calmly looked at the KGB’s Ace of the Far East, Peter aka Huo Shaoheng, who was sitting across from him, then narrowed his almond-shaped eyes.
