CHAPTER 989: CHAPTER 989: WHERE IS SHE? (1)

Once the fire department withdrew, the explosion site that had been bustling all day fell silent, and those onlookers, seeing that there was no excitement left to watch, also left.

At this moment, the vicinity of the entire factory, apart from the ravaged ruins and debris, was enveloped in air filled with the pungent smell of smoke and fire, with nothing else remaining.

Ying Hai, sitting in the car, observed this scene and looked toward the rearview mirror: "Sir, what should we do now?"

The old man wore an expression of extreme gravity, his brow tightly furrowed, his face tense, as if he were contemplating something terribly terrifying, his entire demeanor exuding an ominous air.

After asking, he waited for about a minute, until finally, the person closed his eyes and leaned back against the seat: "Let’s return first!"

"Alright!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Hai immediately started the car and drove back.

Regarding today’s explosion, he really wanted to ask him if he was behind it. Yet, after witnessing that expression, he suddenly decided not to, because such an expression did not seem like one a person who orchestrated this would have after the event.

So then, who exactly did this?

Ying Hai felt an impending unease, like the calm before a storm...

Two hours later, as the setting sun was about to disappear and night began to fall, suddenly, someone noticed a helicopter hovering over the city. It was so swift and urgent, within minutes, they watched it swoop down like an eagle from the sky.

And the swooping location was precisely the site of the major explosion incident earlier in the day!

Who could it be?

Is it the fire department? They’ve resorted to using a helicopter?

The crowd, seeing the helicopter and recalling the six firefighters who died in the incident, assumed it was sent by the fire department to collect the bodies and paid no further attention.

Little did they know, the helicopter was not from the fire department at all but had hastily arrived from thousands of miles away. The moment it landed, a tall figure immediately stepped out.

"Young Master, you can’t go over there right now. It’s been less than eight hours since the explosion, the danger isn’t over yet."

"Get out of my way!"

Roughly shoving the person following him aside, the man strode swiftly toward the pile of rubble.

He was a particularly terrifying man with a pale, rigid complexion, eyes fierce and lips pressed into a grim white line, resembling a specter. Upon entering the rubble, he quickly moved further inside.

The man following him stomped his foot, resignedly going in as well.

Upon entering, he saw the man headed straight toward the third floor of the ruins, familiar with the place, evidently knowing where the finance office was located.

Yet, when he finally found the spot, it was with despair that he saw the office had entirely collapsed, resembling a massive dark chasm, and upon reaching it, witnessed the blood-red scene below, with vaguely visible corpses.

"Ye Ning—" Upon seeing this, he let out a desperate howl akin to a trapped beast and was about to leap down.
