I hadn't expected things to take such a turn.
That meant I no longer had to fear Liu Rui using Bingbing to threaten me.
I still had doubts about why Bingbing had appeared in this place, but I could only ask her after rescuing her.
The captain of the guards checked the time. "The three hours are up. Shall we launch?"
I froze for a moment. The three hours really were up, but Bingbing was now at the Liu Family ancestral residence. It didn't seem far from the Liu clan ancestral hall. Would she be caught in the missile's blast wave?
Liu Lan and Yu Xiang looked at me as well.
I gritted my teeth. "Launch on schedule. Target: the Liu clan ancestral hall!"
The captain of the guards remained expressionless. "Yes. Target: the Liu clan ancestral hall. Beginning launch countdown. Ten, nine, eight, seven..."
I still felt uneasy.
But the missile had to be launched. Otherwise, my previous threat would become a joke.
Besides, I had figured it out. Launching this small missile would send the Liu Family a message: I didn't care about the hostages in their hands at all.
Only then would Bingbing be safe.
As long as the external agents the captain mentioned could rescue them as quickly as possible, nothing else mattered.
"Boom!" Another deafening explosion rang out, and the ground shook. The missile should have hit its target.
The monitor showed that it had landed precisely on the Liu clan ancestral hall, reducing the entire hall to ruins.
The people at the Liu Family's front gate were so frightened that they dropped to the ground.
When I saw that Bingbing and the others were fine, the weight on my heart finally lifted.
I sat down on the sofa and lit a cigarette.
