Chapter 766 - 766 752 Hands Full of Blood (3)_1

Chapter 766: 752, Hands Full of Blood (3)_1 Chapter 766: 752, Hands Full of Blood (3)_1 The black boot jutted out slightly; if one didn’t look closely, they wouldn’t notice that something was hidden along the edge of the shoe.

The man’s fingertips reached down and touched the cold metallic feel, the corner of his lips disguised under the mask turning up a cruel curve.

With a quick hook of his finger, the tiny controller moved swiftly to his palm. His thumb found the lone button on the controller, which he pressed without hesitation.

“Hahaha, Jian Qing, don’t bother trying, there’s no escaping.”

A treacherous laughter, filled with eerie coldness rang out behind her.

Jian Qing turned to glance back. The man behind the mask had woken up. Removing his mask, his face, hidden for many years, was sickly white.

It was a nauseating sight, his face covered in a mix of deep and shallow scars – some from knives, others from whips. His deranged smile made him all the more repellent.

“Jian Qing, stop wasting your effort. It’s useless. You’re destined to stay here and keep me company in death.” Saying this, the man held up his controller, his chapped lips pulling back into a cruel smile.

The light on the tiny controller flashed red, the brief two minutes causing the atmosphere to grow tense and heavy.

Quan Jingwu watched his controller, with icy determination flickering in his eyes, and started to smash the door with all his might.

“Aren’t you afraid of dying?” Jian Qing asked, unperturbed, her gaze steady on him.

“If I don’t bring you back, I’m a dead man anyway. If it’s destined to be death either way, then what’s the difference?” The man threw his head back, laughing wildly, determined to pull everyone down with him.

If Jian Qing died, it wouldn’t make a difference to him. At least, that man up there would be enraged, right?

The more he cared about Jian Qing, the more he decided to destroy her. He had ended up this ghastly way over the years all thanks to him, now it was time for his revenge.

“Jian Qing, let me tell you the truth. The moment both of us stand up, this car will explode, oh, and even if we don’t move, this car will still explode in two minutes. There’s no way to disarm it.”

The things they researched on their island were always so bitterly ruthless.

Upon hearing this, Shen Hao’s gaze on the man was filled with the urge to tear him to shreds. This man was nothing but a lunatic.

“Shen Hao, kill him.” Quan Jingwu said coldly, still hammering on the door.

“Yes sir.” Shen Hao had had enough of this man, drawn his gun and without hesitation, pulled the trigger to his head.

Bang.

The man didn’t even try to dodge, that one moment was all it took for his heartbeat to flatline.

The gory red blood splattered and stained Jian Qing’s clothes with specks of blood.

Looking at the lifeless man, she glanced at the tiny controller feeling heavy-hearted.

Time was running out, and without any tools, she was left helpless.

The time on the controller kept changing. Never had Jian Qing felt two minutes to be so short. She put her hand on her pregnant belly, a flicker of sorrow in her eyes.

This feeling of helplessness, she never thought she would experience it again after seventeen long years.

Baby, mommy’s sorry.

“Damn, only one and a half minutes remaining.” Shen Hao glanced at the time remaining on the controller, a dampness on his back soaking his clothes.

Quan Jingwu’s handsome face tightened as he rained blows upon the car door with a hammer, the blood smeared on his elegant hands not sparing him a second’s rest.

“My darling, don’t be afraid, I will get you out of this.”

The man’s deep, husky voice brought tears to Jian Qing’s eyes. She leaned forward towards the front seat, “Xiaojing, there’s no time, you should go. Leave now.”

This car had been modified. There was no way to break the door in such short notice, especially with only two minutes to spare.

“Jian Qing, you said you wouldn’t throw me away,” Quan Jingwu raised his head, his deep purple eyes bloodshot as he stated coldly.

“If you die, I refuse to live alone.”

With every tick of the timer behind her, Jian Qing’s face grew paler.

“I don’t want this. I take it back. I don’t want you to die with me,” she stammered, her teary eyes blurring her vision.

She was unwilling to let him die with her. She couldn’t stomach the idea.

“Quan Jingwu, leave. I don’t want you to stay with me, go.”

She reached out to push him away; icy tears dropped onto his hand, burning his heart and scalding his eyes.

He seized her hand suddenly, leaning down to kiss her lips. It was a brief kiss, as light as a dragonfly’s touch on the water, yet it emitted a romantic longing.

“Don’t push me away. Quan Jingwu will never leave Jian Qing alone.”

With that being said, he picked up the hammer and started prying the car door again.

Tears blurred her vision, but the man’s worried face left a profound impression etched deep into Jian Qing’s soul.

“Quan Jingwu, you idiot, you big idiot!”

Shen Hao watched the two of them, deeply moved by their actions. They were both proud individuals who wouldn’t hesitate to do anything for each other.

Jian Qing looked at the final twenty seconds left in the countdown, She watched Quan Jingwu through teary eyes, “Quan Jingwu, Quan Jingwu…”

She picked up every detail of their time together, projecting them across her thoughts like a horse race.

“Creak,” a sound signaled that the car’s lock had been broken into.

As it turned out, brute force did create miracles.

Quan Jingwu’s purple eyes brightened. He jerked open the car door with a fierce pull and stretched out his hand towards her, “Darling, come here.”

Jian Qing hurriedly moved to the front seat. Shen Hao glanced at the last five seconds on the controller, his complexion changed, “Boss, hurry, we’re running out of time.”

“Shen Hao, you go first.” he said.

Shen Hao knew he was slower than Quan Jingwu, so he sprinted away so as not to hold them back.

“Let’s go!”

Quan Jingwu stretched out his hand to pick up Jian Qing and started running.

With the last second passing, the timer inside the car stopped.

“Bang—-”

A deafening explosion resonated throughout the sky. The heat wave of the firelight rolled over. Quan Jingwu’s speed was swift as a ghost, but still fell slightly short as the two of them were blown out by the blast wave.

“Boss, my lady!”

Shen Hao got up from the ground and looked over to see a sight that made his eyes crack. Going against the fiery explosion, the two of them were thrown out by the blast wave, rolling on the ground. The entire time, Quan Jingwu tightly shielded Jian Qing in his arms.

Thud.

A low sound drowned out amidst the great explosion.

“Xiaojing!” Jian Qing swiftly crawled out from Quan Jingwu’s hold. The man was covered in blood that stung her eyes.

“Xiaojing, are you hurt?”

She reached out to help him up; Quan Jingwu, leaning up against her, had a severe look in his face. He raised his blood-stained hand to touch her cheek.

“Are you okay, hmm?”

His low, hoarse voice was weak.

Jian Qing felt a warm liquid slick on her hand. She raised her hand and saw that it was covered in blood.

She suddenly recalled the quiet groan she had heard from him just now, and her gaze followed down to see a sharp rock beside them covered in dark red blood.

He had hit his head; he was injured!
