Chapter 743: Did You Eat Dynamite?

"Are you fucking insane?"

Cheng Su’s eardrums ached from the sudden roar, prompting her to hold the receiver a bit further away. Was this brat on explosives, this irate?

On the other end of the line, Ning Ge tightened with worry when he didn’t hear Cheng Su’s response: "Hello? Cheng Su, Cheng Su, reply!"

"I’m not dead yet, what are you yelling for?" Cheng Su asked irritably: "Did you eat gunpowder today?"

Ning Ge’s heart settled down a bit, and he said teasingly: "Of course, I know a calamity like you won’t die. Are you hurt?"

A calamity, calling her a calamity!

Cheng Su clenched her teeth, resolved to make this boy pay later!

"I’m fine. Have you come back?" Cheng Su put her grudge aside for a moment and inquired.

"Yeah. If you’re alright, then hurry back. The disaster zone isn’t safe; there could still be aftershocks. Hurry back!" Ning Ge’s voice was urgent and frantic.

"I’m not coming back for now!"

Ning Ge was stunned: "What did you say?"

The voice that emerged was almost squeezed through clenched teeth, sinister enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine: "Do you know what you’re saying? Do you realize where that is? It’s a disaster zone, an earthquake disaster zone, a place where aftershocks might happen at any moment. If you don’t come back, what are you staying there for? To wait for death?"

Initially, Ning Ge was annoyed and worried, but upon hearing that she wouldn’t return, he was genuinely furious.

This woman was being way too willful!

"I’m asking you, what are you doing there? What can you do, huh? Don’t fucking tell me you’re there to clear your mind; that place is a death zone right now!" Ning Ge roared.

Cheng Su dug at her ear and moved the receiver a bit further, saying: "I know. But Qi Taiguo is here. He’s participating in the rescue efforts, so I have to stay here with him."

Qi Taiguo was also there?

Ning Ge paused, stunned.

"Big Brother Qi is there with you?" Ning Ge asked, still in shock.

Cheng Su’s voice was cheerful: "Mhm, he quietly followed me here. Thank goodness he did. If not for him, I might have been buried last night." Ning Ge felt the peril in her words, and also the sweetness, suddenly causing a chill to settle in his chest.

"Hello, are you listening?"

Regaining his composure, Ning Ge said: "Even if Old Qi is rescuing others, you shouldn’t stay there. Listen to me, come back first!"

"No, I won’t! Ning Ge, after last night’s brush with death, I’ve realized something. I won’t divorce him. Now, even if it means dying, I will die with him. So, I won’t come back. If I do, he must come back with me," Cheng Su declared.

Ning Ge laughed coldly: "Suit yourself then!"

He hung up the phone in frustration, sitting with a gloomy expression.

"Ning Ge, what did Susu say?" Ying Xiaoya asked cautiously, looking at him.

The Ning Ge before her was a bit too intimidating, too somber, unlike what she had ever seen before, making her feel somewhat uneasy.

Xiao Pinshan, however, seemed lost in thought, as if he had gleaned a hint of the young boss’s mindset.

"Nothing. She’s fine over there, and Qi Taiguo is with her," Ning Ge said wearily.

"Ah?" Ying Xiaoya and Xiao Pinshan exchanged glances.

Just as they were about to probe further, Xiao Pinshan pulled her aside: "President Ning is tired too, let him rest a while. Come with me, I’ll talk to you about some financial matters."

Ying Xiaoya was led away.

Ning Ge sat in the chair, rubbing his temples, as the anger within him gradually subsided.

He was annoyed, he was angry, but even he didn’t know why.

Was it because of Cheng Su’s willfulness, traveling so far on a business trip?

Or was it because she said she would rather die than be separated from Qi Taiguo?

Ning Ge stared blankly at a photo of Cheng Su on the desk, lost in thought.
