Guo Nansheng’s three minutes evidently underestimated the speed; the official response was extrely fast. In less than two minutes, the place was already surrounded by a tight net.
"Zhou Wang, answer , are you the seventh person?"
Guo Nansheng could no longer maintain his previous composure. He glanced at the top of the 56th floor, his face becoming anxious. He tightly gripped what seed to be a remote control lighter and took a step forward, questioning Zhou Wang for the second ti.
"I... what if I say I don’t know?"
Zhou Wang paused briefly, ultimately unable to respond in any other way but helplessly.
"Don’t know?"
Guo Nansheng waited for a long ti, never expecting to hear such an answer from Zhou Wang.
His face began to distort, seemingly unable to comprehend, "Why is it ’don’t know’? I just want a truth, why... why is it so difficult?!"
Guo Nansheng’s expression turned extrely painful. Zhou Wang noticed that his fingers had touched the side of the lighter, as if ready to activate the switch at any mont.
Others also noticed Guo Nansheng’s loss of control and reacted accordingly.
"Guo Nansheng, although it’s already too late, if you stop now, you at least still have a chance to survive."
Young Master Zhang’s mother, Zhang Shiling, had suffered minor injuries in the earlier tremors. Supporting her son, she spoke sternly, "Even if your parents have passed away, do you really have no other attachnts in this world? Why go to such lengths?"
"Guo Nansheng, as far as I know, you still have a fiancée, and your relationship is very good..."
Mr. Liu from Speed Express quickly spoke up.
"Don’t ntion her to , Liu Heng, are you worthy?"
Under the pressure that the officials could break in at any mont, Guo Nansheng, unable to maintain his previous elegance, angrily interrupted Liu Heng.
"Is your mother really dead?"
At this point, soone suddenly spoke.
"Chen Qiaosheng, what do you an?"
Guo Nansheng turned to stare at Mr. Chen from Tianqiao Group, who had spoken.
"You said your mother also jumped off a building, but as far as I know, she didn’t die on the spot. She fell onto a sand pile at the construction site, and the tily arrival of dical personnel should an that she survived, right?"
Chen Qiaosheng spoke while observing Guo Nansheng’s subtle expressions, "Although later you declared that your mother had also passed away and the hospital issued a death certificate, the head of that hospital once benefited from your father, isn’t that correct?"
"You were still investigating afterward?"
Guo Nansheng seed sowhat incredulous.
"It’s not an investigation, but since I had past ties with your father, I was concerned about your family once it fell on hard tis..."
Faced with Chen Qiaosheng’s calm response, Guo Nansheng burst into hysterical laughter.
"Interesting, really interesting, though I wanted to end the trouble once and for all, you managed to paint it so innocently. Truly, no one is more shaless than you lot!"
Guo Nansheng laughed until tears ca out, but he did not directly respond to whether his mother was still alive.
But everyone present, including Zhou Wang, realized it was a breakthrough point.
Guo Wangshan spoke again, with heartfelt sincerity: "Nansheng, if your mother is really still alive, you need to consider her carefully. I think even if she survived, her future life would be difficult to manage, wouldn’t it? While there’s still a chance, stop now... don’t make another mistake, or will you never want to see her for the rest of your life?"
Guo Nansheng subtly trembled, slightly lowered his head, and fell into silence. His hand gripping the lighter seed to relax.
Just as everyone saw hope and the previously frustrated Ding Yi wanted to speak again, suddenly so red dots appeared and quickly locked onto Guo Nansheng... and Zhou Wang, moving over their bodies.
"?"
Zhou Wang was briefly stunned, instantly guessing that it might be a powerful firearm’s infrared sight.
Not... it’s fine to aim at Guo Nansheng, but why ?
But then Zhou Wang realized the problem.
Because in their area, only he and Guo Nansheng were standing in the center, distanced from others, which ant they were the focus of the situation.
Because communication with the outside was cut, the police couldn’t determine which of them was the suspect or understand the exact situation inside the building, so they just aid at both.
When the red dots appeared, a speaker’s voice mixed with the whistling wind sounded outside the window.
"Warning, you are surrounded, lay down your weapons, crouch with your head down, any movent could trigger a fire, warning, you are surrounded..."
Affected by the strong wind, the speaker’s sound faded and approached, but it still distinctly reached inside.
Guo Nansheng suddenly stopped shaking; he seed awakened by this voice. He looked at the red dots wavering over his body, then slowly raised his head and smiled at Zhou Wang.
"Unfortunately, I still didn’t get the answer I wanted."
Guo Nansheng said in a low voice, "Zhou Wang, maybe I dragged you down, but it doesn’t matter anymore... You know, today I didn’t co here to reclaim anything; those so-called assets have long lost aning for . From start to finish, I just wanted to demand justice!"
As Guo Nansheng smiled, Zhou Wang’s heart already sensed a bad premonition, but when he tried to stop him, it was too late.
After finishing his words, Guo Nansheng turned to face the floor-to-ceiling window, clearly visible to everyone present.
"It’s worth exchanging my life for all of yours."
As everyone’s expression changed, Guo Nansheng suddenly raised his hand while muttering. The tal casing of the lighter fell off, revealing a rectangular remote control with a row of buttons on the side, and a thumb-sized red button in the center.
Bang!
The heavy, thunder-like sound resonated in the sky. Just as Guo Nansheng fell from being shot, he heavily pressed the red button.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
The continuous terrifying sounds instantly assaulted everyone’s eardrums. If the earlier shaking was rely severe enough to barely stand, this ti truly felt earth-shattering, as no one could remain balanced.
Because the entire floor trembled violently with strong airwaves under the chain explosions.
Screams arose, accompanied by the pervasive firelight and flying debris. The banquet hall was in disarray; so were hit by sothing and scread miserably, while others near the floor’s ceiling explosion point were directly propelled by the airwaves, hitting the floor-to-ceiling window with despairing shattering sounds.
Equally knocked over on the ground, Zhou Wang saw a huge vase headed his way, but fortunately, Xiao Si and Xiao Liu rushed over in ti. Together, they knocked the vase away, letting Zhou Wang narrowly escape disaster.
When the airwaves montarily cald, they helped Zhou Wang up from the ground. At this ti, Gao Xing, who disappeared for several minutes, erged from the smoke, carrying a thick bag, and gestured a direction to Zhou Wang.
"Co this way."
The floor trembled precariously, with flas and smoke everywhere. Zhou Wang’s vision was blurred as he couldn’t see anything clearly, but he understood Gao Xing probably predicted the worst-case scenario, maybe finding so "way out," thus he wasn’t overly panicked.
At this mont, only Xu Wenqian and Jiang Qingkui were beside him. Zhou Wang didn’t hurry to leave but grabbed Gao Xing, urgently saying:
"Go find my parents; they were just standing over there. If you can save others, try to save them too..."
Gao Xing nodded understandingly, and disappeared into the firelight and smoke with Xiao Si, while Zhou Wang quickly pulled Xu Wenqian and Jiang Qingkui, and ran towards the direction Gao Xing had indicated amidst the chaos.
