Chapter 272: Everything Quietly Changing
Chapter Two Hundred and Seventy-Two: The Quietly Changing Everything (10)
Ji Xiangyu glanced at Situ Haonan and Situ Jingyi, then turned and left helplessly. Situ Jingyi becoming like this was partly his own fault; he had given her the wrong information!
But honestly, is it the fault of the one being loved when someone loves them?
Why did Situ Jingyi force her love onto him? If Situ Jingyi loved someone else, wouldn’t everything be less complicated?
Ji Xiangyu pondered this as he drove back, feeling a knot in his stomach. He turned the steering wheel, intending to head towards the bar, but halfway there, he ran out of gas. He had no choice but to use the little remaining fuel to drive to a gas station. The gas station was quiet, with no queue. He got out of the car and told the young attendant, “Fill it up!”
After speaking, he walked to the restroom not far away to use the toilet. However, as soon as he stepped out, two black cars blocked his path. Then, he saw several burly men get out, looking at him with clenched fists!
Ji Xiangyu shook his neck, not quite understanding who had sent these people. He asked, “Who are you?”
The man at the front grinned and said, “You don’t need to know who I am. You just need to know that we’re here to take your life today!”
Ji Xiangyu thought they would engage him in a decisive battle or something, but the outcome was clearly not that. He only saw several burly men behind him carrying a large container, laughing maniacally!
Ji Xiangyu had a bad premonition; they intended to blow this place up!
He glanced back at his car. The young attendant was still refueling. When he turned back, the burly men had already started splashing gasoline all around. The first thought in Ji Xiangyu’s mind was how many people were at this gas station. Besides the young attendant, who seemed completely unaware of the situation, Ji Xiangyu felt anxious and wanted to stall for time, saying, “Let’s talk properly. Don’t hurt innocent people!”
The man took out a lighter and said with a smile, “Young Master Ji, Young Master Wu Feng, do you think it’s necessary for us to talk properly? If we keep talking, we’ll be the ones losing our lives! Hahahaha.”
Ji Xiangyu’s brow furrowed. He couldn’t bear the thought of others sacrificing their lives for him!
He tried to persuade them again, “Why don’t you use your power to deal with me? Is this the right way to do things?!”
The man flicked the lighter, and a flame appeared before his eyes. “We always look at the results. As for the process, we generally disregard it. Therefore, Young Master Ji and Young Master Wu Feng, farewell forever!”
In the instant Ji Xiangyu was astonished, the man jumped into the car and threw the lighter out. Then, the men quickly departed!
Ji Xiangyu had originally wanted to save the young attendant, but it was too late. He could only escape before the explosion. He ran at his fastest speed, with only a ten percent chance of survival; otherwise, he would die!
With a boom, the gas station behind Ji Xiangyu suddenly exploded. Although it was a small gas station and there were no residents nearby in the desolate area, minimizing the casualties, it still injured quite a few people!
Imagine the power of a gas station explosion; it’s unpredictable!
Ji Xiangyu fell to the ground in response. Even though he had run a kilometer away, he couldn’t escape being injured by the airflow from the explosion. He lay on the ground, his back aching, and his entire chest felt uncomfortable!
The last image Ji Xiangyu saw before he fainted was Qing Tian lying in the hospital during an ultrasound, and the heartbeat of the baby. His world at that moment was filled only with the sound of the baby’s heartbeat in his ears.
Pong pong…
This rhythm was more beautiful than ever!
