The Mysterious CEO and His Feisty Bride-Chapter 553 - 561 She Actually Fell in Love with the Great God (11)

No sooner had the voice ended than the conference room door was abruptly pushed open, chaotic sounds pierced through the microphones of all the executives and reached Enson’s ears, "It’s bad, it’s bad, someone has taken Ling Momo hostage..."

The vice president of ES frowned, his tone somewhat displeased, "What’s going on?"

"I don’t really know what’s happening either. It was one of ES’s janitors who first intruded into Sister Jian’s office and got reprimanded by her assistant. Then they called security to kick him out, but somehow that janitor went to Miss Ling’s office and then he took Miss Ling hostage, yelling and demanding to see Sister Jian... and, and he has a time bomb strapped to his waist!"

Before the man could finish speaking, Li Qingshen rose from his own office and rushed out the door.

"Where’s Jian Chenxi, why isn’t she here yet?"

"I want Jian Chenxi! I don’t want money!"

Li Qingshen had just reached the corridor when he heard a rough, male voice coming from Ling Momo’s office.

Many people were standing in the corridor, and when they saw Li Qingshen approaching, they quickly cleared a path for him.

Before reaching Ling Momo’s office, someone at the front yelled, "It’s bad, there’s only thirty seconds left!"

Screams erupted one after the other, and people began to flee in panic.

Li Qingshen, however, went against the crowd and charged forward swiftly.

Tick, tick, tick...

With each sound, Ling Momo’s heart trembled.

She had never imagined that this kind of life-or-death scenario, normally seen only in movies, would actually happen to her.

She couldn’t even breathe properly, feeling as if the bomb’s timer was a summons from hell.

Ling Momo watched as the doorway, once crowded with people, was now eerily deserted. Panic began to settle deeper in her heart.

She thought, this time I really must be done for.

With only twenty seconds left, and this not being a film set, she was sure there was no rescue coming. With that thought, she closed her eyes in despair.

Then, she heard a "bang."

Ling Momo’s eyes, not yet fully closed, snapped open to see the cold, godlike man kicking the door open and standing in the entrance.

A glint of hope flashed in Ling Momo’s eyes as she instinctively turned her head to glance at the bomb’s timer—only fifteen seconds left!

Then, Ling Momo fell into despair once more, just fifteen seconds, fifteen seconds... There was no time left... In a trembling voice, she urged, "Go, hurry up!"

But the man, as if he hadn’t heard her, didn’t hesitate. He strode in, like a valiant knight, into the room that could be a second from death.

Ling Momo’s eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

Immediately after, everything unfolded like a major annual action film. Li Qingshen’s movements were as fast as thought, and he quickly subdued the janitor who had been holding her hostage.

The janitor fell at Ling Momo’s feet.

Ling Momo looked down to see the red digits had jumped to "8".

Then, 7, 6, 5...

Ling Momo felt the whole world go silent, her heart abruptly turned to desolation, and she silently counted down in her mind 4, 3, 2, 1...
