Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 296 - Escape!

Tears streamed down Zizi's cheeks and she shut her eyes hard.

Yunru…Yunru, you cannot die, okay? Please don't die…

She couldn't help but imagine the building blowing into pieces by the bomb blast. Everybody would be dead.

Her body shook and trembled. But the menacing and ominous sound of a terrible blast never came. It was complete silence.

Milo rapidly blinked his eyes in disbelief. He pressed the button again and again but nothing happened.

Luo Jiang was aghast. "What the hell is wrong?"

Milo gritted his teeth. "Fuck! Why the hell is this button not working!? The building should have blasted by now!"

He furiously pressed the button again and again until he broke the remote in frustration. "Somebody disarmed my bomb! My plan failed! I waited months for this and it failed!"

Angry veins popped on his forehead and his body trembled in rage.

Zizi was still slightly shivering, but now the tears in her eyes expressed how relieved she felt.

Luo Jiang said, "Wait. I will check what happened. There must be some problem in the electrical room."

Milo jerked his head to the right but to his shock, he didn't see the men who were ordered to guard the electrical room.

Luo Jiang stepped out, but as soon as he took a few steps, he froze.

"Heading somewhere Officer Luo Jiang?" Yunru smiled.

From the car's front window, Zizi saw Yunru standing before them, and her heart burst into happiness. She only wanted to see him alive and unharmed.

Yunru…

Luo Jiang stiffened. His breath got stuck in his throat. "O-Officer Soo Yunru?"

Yunru glanced towards the car and saw Zizi trapped with Milo. His gaze darkened in fury and danger seeing her tear-stained cheeks. But at the same time, relief washed over him to see her safe and unhurt.

Just a bit more Zizi…I will take you out of here.

His cold gaze landed upon Milo and he smiled. "If you are searching for your dogs who were keeping an eye at the bomb site then they are here."

Another officer, Bai Guiren, with whom Yunru has talked before the conference started, roughly dragged the two men and threw them on the ground. He sneered. "Bastards…"

Their hands were tied behind their backs and their faces were swollen red with bruises.

Milo stared at them, dumbfounded.

What the hell…

Yunru said, "Your glorious plan of killing all the officers has already failed, Milo. Also, you are surrounded."

Milo looked around and saw his car surrounded by officers. Chief Xu Hui and officer Sun Zihao led them forward.

Impossible…

How can they know about my plan? How can they know that there was a bomb inside!?

Yunru said, "You nicely betrayed the country huh, Luo Jiang?"

Luo Jiang panicked. "W-what are you saying? Actually you came at the right time! I just saw Milo trying to escape and was coming to inform you!"

Sun Zihao sneered. "Save your breath, Luo Jiang. We have already investigated everything. Milo was bribing you with loads of money to spy on the cops and bring every information to him. That's how he knew about this conference and planned this bomb blast."

"We have already checked your bank statements and found one suspicious account with loads of money. The cyber team had tracked you to be its account owner. Heh. Obviously, you are not so stupid to use your own account to fill all the guilty money," Bai Guiren said.

Yunru narrowed his eyes. "We have also caught the waiter who you bribed to add poison to Head Yin's dinner. And we also caught your flies who came to murder him in the hospital."

Luo Jiang froze.

How can he know all this?

Yunru chuckled. "The part about bringing a doctor to treat Head Yin was a lie. I had already arranged to secretly shift him to another hospital, thanks to my friend's connection. My officers were actually waiting for your men to show up, and they fell right into the trap. They confessed that you sent them to kill Head Yin."

He gritted his teeth.

Yunru then glanced at Milo. "Good that you broke the remote. It was useless anyway. The bomb diffusion team already disarmed the bomb."

"Shut up! Shut the fuck up! You cannot possibly know about the bomb!"

Zizi jolted in her seat. He, who was all calm and collected until a few minutes ago, was raging like a wild, furious beast now.

"Indeed," Yunru nodded, "It was difficult, at first, to know where you might have planted the bomb. It is a huge building. It could be anywhere, and I didn't have the liberty to search every nook and corner of the building. You had the remote in your hands, after all, ready to press the button at any time. But then I thought that Milo is a sadist. He wants a painful death for us. So, he would keep a bomb at a place where it would have the maximum impact after the blast. Either it could be the kitchen where gas cylinders are kept for cooking food or an electrical room with all the fuses and wires."

He smiled. "But it would be difficult for your guards to keep an eye on the kitchen without getting suspicious when there are chefs and other staff members constantly going in and out. But there would be no interference in the electrical room. It's empty except for those times when there is a problem with power. It was the easiest choice to plant your bomb there. As expected, I was right. You could guess what happened next."

Yunru secretly called the bomb diffusion team and disarmed it. Before that, he had already taken care of the guards and grabbed their communication devices.

"You were that bastard who answered the call a few minutes ago," Milo spoke through a clenched jaw.

"Yours truly."

Milo grabbed Zizi's arms and she yelped in pain. "You bitch told him, right? You lied to me! You had heard everything, and you left him a message! That's how he knew about the bomb!"

Yunru clenched his fingers and coldly said, "Leave her. There is nowhere for you to run. Give up."

"Hahaha! You think I lost? So what if I am surrounded? I still win!"

The car key was already at ignition. Milo jumped into the driver's seat in a flash and started the engine. With a harsh jerk, he drove the car backward. Sun Zihao and the other officers jumped away or the car would have crushed them.

Yunru widened his eyes as he saw Milo driving the car away with Zizi inside.

"Zizi!"
