54 -52: The Bomb

He walked up to her, laid his hands on her shoulders, and his beautiful phoenix eyes were filled with her reflection.

Lu Chen said seriously, “Take care of yourself, I’ll do everything I can to protect you.”

Su Mo’s heart skipped a beat, and her face felt a bit hot.

She smiled and nodded, “Mhm, I understand”.

She was well aware of what she had been given, something that could bring vitality but also covetousness from countless people.

“Unfortunately, I only took five cans of Biluochun Tea.

If I had known, I would have taken more,” she said.

She put the teacup back on the table, touched the delicate cup, and felt a bit worried, “We’ll have to be sparing with it, or it’ll all be brewed up soon”.

“No need,” the man patted her head, “I have, a lot.”

“Huh?” Su Mo looked up at him with wide eyes full of curiosity, “When did you collect it?”

She had never seen him gathering tea leaves.

“The teashop, we won’t run short for a while,” the man flicked her forehead and pulled out a chair to sit down in front of the table.

Not just the teashop, but also that rabbit block puzzle that once made Su Mo blush with anger.

He had an entire shelf of them in his Space, of course, he didn’t know their uses either, he just collected them subconsciously as she needed.

“Wow, Lu Chen!” Su Mo’s eyes sparkled, and she too pulled out a chair to sit opposite him, looking surprised, “Did you bring back everything from that teashop we passed the other day?”

“Most of it,” With her bright, clear eyes focused on him, the man kept his expression blank yet subconsciously straightened his back.

Su Mo was so close to pouncing on him and giving him a bear hug.

How could this man be so attentive?

“That’s great, Jianxiong, I’ll borrow your arm when the time comes,” she said excitedly, rubbing her hands together and looking at Jianxiong with stars in her eyes.

“What kind of talk is that, sister?” Jianxiong instinctively hugged his recently repaired arm, shaking his head vigorously and pointing at Lu Chen, “Our boss is tough-skinned and thick-fleshed, find him for your trials from now on.”

Su Mo immediately refused without even thinking, she slapped her hands on the table and stood up, shaking her head earnestly, “No, he’s too handsome, I can’t bear it.

You need to sacrifice yourself for the mission, Jianxiong”.

“???” Nowadays, was it wrong to look fierce and be in a hurry?

Jianxiong took a deep breath and let it out slowly, his face, already dark, was now unbearable to look at.

Lu Chen leaned back in his chair, his laughter at the interaction between the two silent.

At the sound of his laughter, Su Mo immediately turned to look at him.

The man’s frosty face melted with the perfect curvature of his smile, and those deep blue eyes, usually filled with cold ice, now showed warmth towards her like a spring breeze.

This laugh, coming from the heart, was entirely different from the one she heard when she was pressed against the wall that night…

She couldn’t help but stare.

Not just her; Jianxiong was dumbstruck too.

“Since I started dealing with the boss, I’ve heard all sorts of deadly smiles, but this is the first time…” hearing his genuine laughter.

He didn’t finish the sentence because he realized the smile seemed to be aimed at Su Mo.

Their unanimous stunned expressions successfully caused Lu Chen to stop laughing, and his face grew cold again.

The flurry of events left Su Mo still yearning for more.

She leaned closer to him and said teasingly, “Can you smile more often in the future?”

“No,” Lu Chen said coldly as he flicked her forehead, effectively increasing the distance between them, and no one noticed the slight redness of his earlobes.

“Okay then,” Su Mo touched her forehead and pouted, sitting back down to ask him, “So what exactly were you up to today?”

Jianxiong was also very curious about this as he stood beside them, all ears.

“Installing bombs,” the man said with the calmest tone, his words striking like a thunderclap.

Su Mo and Jianxiong simultaneously widened their eyes, and she quickly lowered her voice, “Did you rig the entire prison?”

Jianxiong also became somewhat shocked and, realizing his voice was too loud, he immediately lowered his volume, “Where did the bomb come from?”

Su Mo’s mind quickly recalled what she saw him tinkering with on the bed last night, “That spherical object?”

“Mmm,” Lu Chen casually opened a bottle of mineral water on the table and took a sip, “C-4 explosives, two pieces are enough to blow up this place.”

Once Jianxiong heard the model, he understood, “Jiang Residence’s research product, remote-controlled, immensely powerful.”

“Where did you bury them?” Su Mo asked more eagerly in a quiet voice.

“The prison guards’ office, the granary.”

Her heart was shaken by this revelation; this man always had a knack for executing major plans in silence.

Lu Chen paused and then addressed Su Mo again, “I ran into Li Qian in the granary, thanks to your meat.”

When he came out of there, he was almost discovered.

Lu Chen still showed a countdown above his head, and the effect of the fried meat continued, Su Mo nodded, “As long as it was useful, but what was Li Qian doing there?”

At this point, Lu Chen couldn’t help but curl his lips into a cold smile, looking at Su Mo with a hint of admiration in his eyes, “You should be asking what you did.”

“Su Niang went to see him?” Although phrased as a question, Su Mo spoke with absolute certainty.

“Mmm, things are getting interesting,” the man nodded.

The more Jianxiong listened, the more confused he became; he could follow the first part but got completely lost afterwards, so he interrupted, “What else have you plotted?”

“Turncoat,” Su Mo said lightly, and then asked Lu Chen, “Do you think Li Qian will switch sides?”

If Su Niang hadn’t proactively shared the story between them, she would never have thought of this.

In Su Mo’s eyes, a person like Li Qian’s only conscience must be that of the woman, so she took a gamble on what Li Qian would do.

“If he’s not foolish, he’ll come to me.”

The answer came from the man’s firm voice.

Leaning back in her chair, Su Mo pondered, “Half of their superpower users have been killed by you; those still alive are on the second floor, the remaining fighting force is comprised of the prison’s ordinary residents…”

Although these people lacked superpowers, Su Mo would not underestimate them as they were experts in all sorts of illicit activities.

Moreover, there were many of them, and their combined fighting power was not necessarily weaker than that of the superpower users.

She thought of something and straightened her back, placing her hands on the table, “Did you bury the bombs to threaten them later on?”

After all, no one would expect that this man was also a small arsenal.

“Mmm.”

This truly was an unnoticed takeover of the prison, and it had only been a few days.

Su Mo likewise cast an admiring look at him, then added, “When it comes down to it, these civilians will be issued a kill order, and we can’t dissociate ourselves from it, but Old Shen Du must have thought this through a long time ago.”

After all, taking over their supermarket meant they had to offer some sort of compensation; they weren’t heartless beasts without a conscience.

“Mmm.”

At this, Jianxiong interjected again, “What about that woman who is very interested in my sister?”

Su Mo almost forgot about that enchanting woman with whom she had a brief encounter – excessively enthusiastic, indeed.

“It won’t affect the plan,” Lu Chen said, his eyes flashing with a touch of chill at the mention of this person.

Jianxiong realized both were somewhat critical of this woman, so he patted his own shoulder and boldly suggested, “Worst comes to worst, after we get out, we’ll kill her.”
