Chapter 1528: Chapter 1518: The Ring

Jiang Cheng couldn’t resist the two of them, so he nodded and gave in: "Alright, you go ahead, and be careful yourself."

Mu Yu smiled at him: "Don’t worry." After speaking, he got up and left the room to handle business.

Jiang Cheng turned to look at Mole: "Now you’re relieved, right? You’ve been tired these few days. Get some good rest."

Mole immediately retorted, adamantly saying, "No way, as long as K is about to be executed, your danger level isn’t resolved. How can I sleep peacefully?"

"Alright then, let me take a shower first. It’s been a tiring day, and I feel filthy." Jiang Cheng got up from the sofa and went into the bathroom.

Mole nodded, his eyes fixed intently on the hotel door, afraid of missing anything.

Jiang Cheng turned on the showerhead, and the bathroom filled with steamy water. He cast aside all distracting thoughts, letting the hot water pour over him.

He felt his pores open up, the hot water streaming over his body was soothing, clearing his mind, as if everything quieted down and all weariness vanished.

Just then, the system spoke unexpectedly: "Tonight, K will break out of prison to find you."

Jiang Cheng shivered with fright, rolling his eyes: "Such an obvious thing, even without you telling me, I knew. I’ve long had a countermeasure."

Not long after, Jiang Cheng finished showering and came out to see Mole uneasily pacing back and forth in the guest room.

"Buddy, don’t be so restless, calm yourself." Hearing Jiang Cheng’s voice, Ou Shu stopped, looked towards him, and froze.

Water droplets slid down Jiang Cheng’s well-defined physique, Mole couldn’t help but swallow.

Jiang Cheng was only wearing a bathrobe, feeling a bit unnerved under his gaze, he adjusted his robe, knocked on his head as he walked past, and left.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Mole touched his head: "To be honest, Jiang Cheng, your physique is really nice, all my strenuous workouts haven’t made me like you."

Mole suddenly stopped, "Spat out a curse", slapped his own face, "Jiang Cheng, bad news, Mu Yu just called and said K has broken out."

Jiang Cheng murmured with lowered head: "Indeed."

"What to do now? He’ll definitely come looking for you." Mole was worried. Jiang Cheng reassured him, "If he’s coming, let him come. If it’s fate, not a disaster; if it is, can’t be avoided, just let Nature take its course." Mole couldn’t stand his casualness: "You’re as worried as a eunuch for the emperor. I’ll guard the door, if he wants in, he’ll step over my corpse first, I’ll never let him touch you."

Hearing him, Jiang Cheng was somewhat moved but didn’t like being melodramatic, only said two words: "Thanks."

Mole waved his hand and went to guard the door.

Jiang Cheng didn’t remain idle either. Despite telling Mole to let Nature take its course, he didn’t intend to do nothing, quietly awaiting death.

K snuck past the team members, arriving at the hotel where Jiang Cheng was staying, and saw Mole guarding the door, a plan forming in his mind.

Bang, bang, bang. Jiang Cheng heard loud knocking, sensed something amiss, got up to open the door, discovering K holding Mole hostage: "Jiang Cheng, long time no see."

Mole was somewhat weak, whispered: "Jiang Cheng... don’t mind me..."

K displeasedly pushed the knife closer to Ou Shu’s neck, the fresh skin exposed faint blood: "Jiang Cheng, if you don’t want to see his corpse, come with me."

"Wang Hua, calm down, let go of Mole and take me instead, I’ll go with you." Jiang Cheng anxiously looked at Wang Hua.

Mole yelled at Jiang Cheng: "Idiot, don’t mind me, you better run, run fast!" "No, I won’t leave." Jiang Cheng remained unmoved.

Wang Hua’s expression was sinister: "Jiang Cheng, my patience is limited, I don’t have time for your bickering. Will you come?"

Jiang Cheng was startled: "Fine, I’ll go with you, but let Ou Shu go first." Hearing this, Wang Hua released Mole and immediately restrained Jiang Cheng, who let out a sigh of relief seeing Mole free.

Once Mole was released, he coughed a few times, worriedly looked at Jiang Cheng: Jiang Cheng reassured Ou Shu: "Mole, hurry and leave, I’ll be fine, leave quickly." "But... can you escape?" "Yes, don’t worry."

Mole dashed off, once he was far away, Wang Hua took Jiang Cheng to an abandoned factory, Jiang Cheng glanced around before saying to Wang Hua: "Now can you let go of me? It’s just us, I won’t run."

Wang Hua, somewhat suspicious, released Jiang Cheng, "Hmm" with a grunt: "I doubt you’d dare pull any tricks."

Once freed, Jiang Cheng sat on the ground not far away, giving K Wang Hua a sidelong glance: "Finally showing your true colors?"

Seeing Wang Hua silent, Jiang Cheng continued his monologue: "You’ve actually long wanted to kill me, right?"

Suddenly, Wang Hua pulled out a gun, aiming at Jiang Cheng’s head: "Since you’ve already uncovered me, I have no reason to let you live."

As if expected, Jiang Cheng leisurely got up from the ground: "Come on, I won’t be afraid, but let’s see who kills whom first."

Saying this, Jiang Cheng touched the ring on his finger, slowly playing with it as if he were treating a lover: "Do you know what this is?" Wang Hua felt a vague sense of unease, but didn’t show it: "What is it?"

"It’s a control device." Jiang Cheng slightly smiled, "And... it’s a device that controls something on your body."

Wang Hua’s expression turned angry: "You! You knew all along? You’re tricking me?"

Jiang Cheng feigned surprise: "Trick you? Not at all, just idle."

"I want to kill you!" Wang Hua, extremely enraged, raising the gun to shoot Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng showed the ring to Wang Hua: "Wang Hua, aren’t you afraid I’ll detonate what’s on your body?"

Wang Hua hesitated, slowly approaching Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng coldly saying: "Are you really not afraid? I’ll detonate it!" "Not afraid, even if I die, I’ll drag you to the grave with me!" Wang Hua’s speed increased, Jiang Cheng had to retreat.

"System, where can I temporarily hide?" Jiang Cheng ran towards the factory’s exit. The mechanical voice of the system sounded in his mind: "Run right, there’s a house, next to it is a ditch."

Jiang Cheng immediately ran right, Wang Hua seeing him run right, followed suit, and at the corner, Jiang Cheng disappeared!

Wang Hua stalled a moment, then searched for Jiang Cheng, approaching China more closely. Wang Hua saw a ditch ahead, believing Jiang Cheng was hiding inside, walked to the ditch bank and peered inside.

"Hell!" Suddenly hearing a greeting behind his ear, Wang Hua turned to look, but too late, Jiang Cheng kicked him onto the ditch, Wang Hua fell into it. Jiang Cheng looked at Wang Hua in the ditch, once again asked: "Do you really want to kill me? Really not afraid of being torn to pieces?"

Wang Hua snorted coldly: "Don’t use this to scare me, I’m not afraid, even if I die, I’ll make you a scapegoat!" Saying this... below, sound ceased. Jiang Cheng looked down, saw no trace of Wang Hua, hurriedly looked around, saw no sign of Wang Hua, and just when he was secretly anxious, heard the faint sound of footsteps behind, quickly turned, found Wang Hua approaching the distance

Jiang Cheng ran reflexively, but didn’t run far before being tripped by Wang Hua. Jiang Cheng checked the ring, fortunately, it wasn’t damaged. He got up from the ground, looked at Wang Hua, discovered Wang Hua was not far from the ditch, then suddenly accelerated, crashed into Wang Hua, Wang Hua unprepared, fell into the ditch again.
