Half an hour later, outside the Feng family’s weapons factory.
Su Jiang and Li Cai, each carrying a backpack, were hiding in the woods. Behind them, Wu Chengren lay tightly bound on the ground, unconscious but peaceful.
“I’m really out of my mind, actually doing something this ridiculous with you!”
Li Cai held a pair of binoculars, observing the movements of the guards outside the factory, and said to Su Jiang, “So what’s your plan now? If you ask me, we should go back and discuss this with An Mingjie first.”
After a while, Li Cai didn’t hear any response from Su Jiang. He turned his head, only to find that Su Jiang was nowhere to be seen.
Damn it!
That kid wouldn’t have rushed straight into the factory, would he?
Li Cai’s heart suddenly filled with panic. If Su Jiang acted recklessly, he wouldn’t be able to explain it to An Mingjie and An Rou.
Just as he was about to step forward to check the situation, there was a sudden movement nearby. Li Cai looked over cautiously, only to see Su Jiang leisurely walking out from the dense forest.
Seeing that Su Jiang was safe and sound, Li Cai breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, “Where did you go just now?”
At the same time, he felt a bit embarrassed—how could such a big, living person disappear right next to him without him noticing at all?
For some reason, Li Cai felt that Su Jiang was completely different from the person he had fought alongside in the bar before. He couldn’t quite pinpoint what had changed, but his instincts told him that at this moment, he definitely couldn’t beat Su Jiang.
“Don’t worry, I just went to find some help.”
Su Jiang casually remarked, then took a boxed meal out of his backpack and began eating it leisurely.
“Not bad, your staff meals aren’t too shabby. There’s even braised pork.”
The corner of Li Cai’s mouth twitched. Seriously? You’re eating at a time like this.
“You went to find help? Who did you find? When are they coming? At this hour, who could possibly come to help us?” Li Cai asked in confusion, unable to make sense of Su Jiang’s actions anymore.
“Don’t worry, we just have to wait,” Su Jiang said, continuing to eat his meal. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked Li Cai, “By the way, you’re not eating your meal, right?”
“…No.”
“Alright, I’ll give it to my little helper later as a reward.”
Li Cai was at a loss for words. He was nearly at his breaking point, but there was nothing he could do. Since Su Jiang told him to wait, he decided to do so; after all, sitting for a while wouldn’t hurt.
The two waited like this until, after about ten minutes.
“Eek eek eek! I’m back!”
Suddenly, the sound of squeaking filled the air. Su Jiang’s spirits lifted, and he stood up.
A little mice darted out from the dense forest and quickly ran up to Su Jiang, squeaking continuously at him.
“Hmm, hmm, hmm, there are about thirty people inside, right?”
“The four super-long load-bearing columns in the four directions, did you see—”
“Did you see them?”
“Can they be moved in? Can you call your little friends to help move them? That would be great!”
“What? There’s black powder inside? Could it be explosives?”
“…”
Li Cai’s eyes widened, his mouth open in disbelief.
What the hell am I seeing?
Su Jiang is talking to a mice?
I must have been drugged. Someone tell me I’ve been drugged. No, it must be Su Jiang who’s been drugged.
Li Cai’s face grew serious as he stepped forward, grabbing Su Jiang’s hand tightly. He said earnestly, “Su Jiang, we need to go to the hospital. No matter what, we can’t ignore treatment.”
Su Jiang: “???”
“Are you the one with a problem?” Su Jiang said, unamused. “Give me the explosives.”
Seeing that Li Cai didn’t respond, Su Jiang simply took Li Cai’s backpack, pulled out the explosives inside, and placed them in front of the little mice.
“There’s so much here you can’t carry. Let your little friends come over!”
“Eek eek eek!” Understood!
Then, to Li Cai’s astonished gaze, countless mice began pouring in from all directions, efficiently distributing the explosives piece by piece.
“Go ahead, and be careful not to be spotted. Place the explosives on those load-bearing columns!”
After giving the instructions, the mice immediately set to work, carrying the explosives and heading determinedly toward the factory.
“Be sure to be careful. Once the explosives are placed, come back and don’t hurt yourselves!” Su Jiang kindly reminded the mice before they left.
After doing this, Su Jiang turned around and saw Li Cai looking utterly despondent, staring down at his phone screen.
“What are you doing, Old Li?”
“Making a hospital appointment. You were right; I think I might be ill.”
Su Jiang’s mouth twitched, and after a moment, he said, “Actually, I have a special ability to communicate with small animals.”
Low-level skill—Animal Communication.
Su Jiang admitted that his voice was a bit loud when he previously criticized this skill.
Looking at it now, it’s truly a divine skill!
Although this explanation seems far-fetched, Li Cai couldn’t think of any other explanation. Otherwise, it would mean there’s a problem with the mental state between him and Su Jiang.
Sighing lightly, Li Cai put away his phone and looked at Su Jiang, asking, “I remember that you were unwilling to get involved in our family disputes before.”
“But why do you seem a bit impatient to bring down the Feng family now?”
Hearing this, Su Jiang recalled An Rou’s shy expression on the Ferris wheel, a faint smile appearing at the corners of his mouth as he softly replied:
“People, always change, don’t they?”
Li Cai nodded thoughtfully, not saying a word, just waiting with Su Jiang for the mice to arrive.
It’s quite absurd, two grown men, in the middle of the night in the outskirts, waiting for a group of mice to transport explosives.
Li Cai felt that his life was starting to become surreal.
Half an hour later, the army of mice finally returned, and Su Jiang considerately brought out Li Cai’s lunchbox to reward them.
“Eat slowly, it’s a bit limited, let’s share it!”
“Squeak, squeak, squeak!” Thank you!
These little mice were surprisingly polite.
Half an hour later, the army of mice finally returned. Su Jiang thoughtfully took out Li Cai’s lunchbox to reward them.
“Eat slowly, there’s not much, so everyone share, okay?”
“Chirp chirp chirp!” Thank you!
This group of little mice was quite polite.
Then, Su Jiang stood up and said to Li Cai, “Right now, explosives are placed near the load-bearing columns in the factory. As long as one of them is detonated, the rest will surely explode.
At that time, when the load-bearing columns collapse, the whole factory will collapse. We’ll then throw Lin Jia’s men over there and make our escape.”
Li Cai felt that his life had started to become quite fantastical.
Li Cai nodded repeatedly after hearing this, then asked, “So how are we going to detonate it?”
Su Jiang smiled confidently, extended his hand, and pointed at a window on the factory.
“Do you see that? From that window, we can directly use a sniper rifle to detonate one of the explosives.”
Li Cai immediately took out his binoculars and looked towards the window Su Jiang was pointing at. Then he twitched his mouth, saying, “What do you take me for? At this distance, we’d have to shoot through the window and hit the explosives precisely. Who can pull that off?”
“If you can’t, then I’ll do it,” Su Jiang replied.
After Su Jiang casually said this, he picked up a sniper rifle from the side, effortlessly climbed onto a tree branch, rested the rifle on his shoulder, and looked at the explosives through the scope. He then softly added:
“I forgot to mention, I have a special skill: I never miss with a sniper rifle!”
As these words fell and Li Cai looked on in stunned amazement, Su Jiang gently squeezed the trigger.
“Bang!”
