Qin Xu brought a dozen bodyguards and drove towards the abandoned chemicals factory to the west of the city. As for Qin Chengqi, he made an appointment with the police to meet up with the abandoned chemicals factory south of the city.
Qin Xu drove the car heading west from the city, and the person driving was his bodyguard.
As he was worried that Qin Xu's body would suffer from the aftereffects of the concussion, for safety reasons, his brother Qin Chengqi insisted on letting the bodyguards drive the car.
But all the time, the bodyguard had steadied the car so that it was flat, causing Qin Xu to become anxious. He had asked the bodyguard to speed up several times, and seeing that if the bodyguard did not speed up, Qin Xu would posture as if he was driving, the bodyguard could only push down the throttle and drive towards the outskirts of the west side of the city.
Fortunately, it was not the time for traffic to peak, and when Qin Xu and the rest rushed to the chemical factory, they did so 20 minutes earlier than expected.
But even after spending forty odd minutes, it was still too late for Qin Xu.
40 minutes was more than enough time for Zhao Jun to do many things …
With a dark expression, he got off the car and started to search for traces of Ye Anne and Zhao Jun together with the bodyguards. However, they searched more than half of the factory but didn't find anything.
10 minutes later, Qin Xu arrived at the warehouse of the chemical factory.
As the chemical factory had been abandoned for a long time, there was a thick layer of dust at the entrance of the warehouse.
"He's not here." Qin Xu spoke out his judgment.
Then, he looked down at the time, and estimated that Qin Chengqi was probably at the outskirts of the city south side, so he took out his cell phone and quickly dialed Qin Chengqi's number.
The moment the call connected, he anxiously asked the other party: "Anne should not be here, how are you doing?"
Qin Chengqi remained silent for a long time, as he did not answer any of Qin Xu's questions.
Qin Xu could not help but tensed up, he suddenly had a bad premonition, and asked: "Did something happen over there?" There was a faint tremor in his voice.
Qin Chengqi could not help but sigh and said: "Promise me first. No matter what you hear later, you cannot be rash and anxious."
Qin Xu only felt that the bad premonition seemed to have substance, as it heavily pressed on his chest, causing him to be unable to breathe. He painfully closed his eyes, and replied with a hoarse voice: "Alright, speak."
Qin Chengqi sighed again, then spoke out: "I'm on fire here, the fire started from the warehouse of the chemical plant, when I rushed there, the fire was already big, adding to that the chemical waste that was left in the warehouse had not been dealt with, there would occasionally be explosions there, and no way for people to get close to it.
"I've already called the police to call the fire engine, but this is only the outskirts. When the fire engine arrives, I'm afraid …"
When Qin Chengqi said the word "probably", he did not continue, but he was afraid that something bad might happen. The two people on the phone knew very well what was going to happen.
Qin Chengqi paused for a bit, and then quickly comforted: "You don't have to worry too much either. Firstly, we are not certain that Ye ani was imprisoned here, and secondly, even if she was previously imprisoned here by Zhao Jun, forty to fifty minutes is enough for Zhao Jun to move the person away. When the warehouse caught fire, it is very likely that Ye Anne was already dead by the time it caught fire, and it is also possible that Zhao Jun had burned the warehouse just to destroy the evidence … "
However, this consolation was something that even Qin Chengqi himself could not convince himself of.
On the other side of the phone, Qin Xu listened in a daze, as though his entire body was being roasted, his whole body was burning and in pain.
Qin Xu couldn't help but fall into a trance from the pain.
At that moment, his phone suddenly vibrated twice. He had received a text message.
As if he felt something, Qin Xu immediately took his phone from his ear. He opened the message and found an unread message in his inbox.
The message was sent by Ye Anne's phone. Qin Xu's fingertips hung in the air, trembling slightly, but he was hesitating and did not click to open it.
If this message was really from Ye Anne, then it meant that she was very likely to be out of this predicament by now. However, the possibility of it happening was extremely small, or even impossible.
He didn't dare to think about what Zhao Jun would do to him after he woke up and discovered that Ye Anne had attacked him and was planning to escape. After contacting the huge fire Qin Chengqi mentioned just now, there was a high chance that this message was from Zhao Jun.
Qin Xu had already guessed something, that was why he hesitated, as though as long as he did not click open, the bad news had not happened yet.
But in the end he clicked on it.
There was only a short line: "The transaction ended early. Goodbye."
It was indeed from Zhao Jun. The trade that Zhao Jun talked about, was about Qin Xu wanting to use him to exchange for Ye Zixing.
Zhao Jun said "It's over", and also said "Goodbye" …
Qin Xu's hand trembled as he dialed Ye Anne's number, and the cold mechanical voice came out again: "The number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable, please call again later."
Qin Xu instantly quivered, his eyes quickly becoming scarlet red. He ignored Qin Chengqi's worried voice and hung up the phone. He then returned to his car and sat in the driver's seat. With a step on the throttle, he drove away quickly, heading towards the south side of the city.
Due to Qin Xu's fast movement, his bodyguards didn't even have time to follow him into the car. Seeing Qin Xu suddenly driving away, the rest of them also rushed to the other cars and chased after him.
When Qin Xu rushed over to the abandoned chemical factory on the south side of the city, two fire engines had already arrived ahead of him.
But now that the chemical factory was on fire, and with the help of some residual chemicals, the fire engine was on fire.
After Qin Xu got off the car, under the bright light of the fire, he vaguely discerned the direction of the chemical warehouse and didn't dare to ignore it.
Fortunately, Qin Chengqi who was not far away reacted in time and hugged him tightly by the waist, stopping him completely in front of the fire.
"I don't want to hurt you, let me go!" Qin Xu roared and struggled, his entire body was like an angry bull as he rampaged around.
However, with the current intensity of the fire, not only would Qin Xu be unable to save anyone after rushing into the fire, he would also be courting death. Of course Qin Chengqi wouldn't let him go.
He loudly advised Qin Xu: "You promised me that you wouldn't be impulsive, if you go in now, it's the same as throwing your life away, and Ye Anne might not even be inside!"
Qin Xu struggled twice more. His strength was initially much stronger than Qin Chengqi's, who had been working in the laboratory the entire time, but he was still afraid that he would hurt Qin Chengqi, so he did not dare to use all of his strength.
Qin Xu immediately said in grief and indignation: "Let me go! I know Ye Anne is inside, she's waiting for me to save her … "I promised on the phone that I would rescue her soon …"
When he felt the despair in Qin Xu's words, Qin Chengqi's eyes turned red. It wasn't that he didn't care about Ye Anne and her, but he just didn't care about her. He could not stand by and watch his own little brother die!
Qin Chengqi hardened his heart and reminded Qin Xu: "Wake up! With how big the fire is, it has already been burning for close to an hour, even if Ye Anne was really inside, you would not be able to save her! "
Qin Chengqi originally wanted to wake Qin Xu up, but the words completely infuriated Qin Xu.
Qin Xu used all his strength and pushed Qin Chengqi away fiercely, and said: "As long as I don't see it with my own eyes, I will definitely not believe it! And even if I die, I must die together with her! "
Qin Chengqi was pushed until he staggered, and had to take two or three steps back to stabilize himself before he did not fall.
He had just stabilized himself, and anxiously looked towards Qin Xu, but Qin Xu was already far away, the firefighters and police were all focused on extinguishing the fire, Qin Xu's bodyguards were not chasing after them, so other than Qin Chengqi, no one else came to stop him.
Even though he knew it was hopeless to chase up to Qin Xu, Qin Chengqi still continued to chase forward. Just as Qin Xu was about to enter the gates of the chemical factory, the entire ground suddenly shook violently, and at that moment, everyone, including Qin Xu, fell to the ground.
This gave Qin Chengqi a chance, and before Qin Xu could get up, he quickly took a few steps forward.
This time, although a lot of people fell to the ground, there were still a lot of chemicals remaining in the chemical factory. Before Qin Xu came, they had already exploded a few times, and the biggest explosion had even shook the ground, so no one thought too much, they only thought that it was a huge explosion happening in the chemical factory.
But just as Qin Chengqi was about to catch up to Qin Xu, the ground started to shake violently, and this time, the shaking was even more intense than the last time.
"No, it's not an explosion!" The police chief in the crowd suddenly shouted loudly, "It's an earthquake! An earthquake! "Temporarily put out the fire, let's go to an empty place to close down and protect our lives!"
As soon as the earthquake was mentioned, the scene immediately became flustered. Fortunately, most of the people there were trained police and firefighters, so they were able to flee away from the chemical plant in an orderly manner.
This was a suburb, and there were no tall buildings nearby. The most dangerous thing was the chemical factory in front of them that was on fire. As long as they stayed away from the factory, it would be safe.
Qin Chengqi had already caught up to Qin Xu. After hearing the person in charge of the police station shout, his heart couldn't help but thump loudly. Then, he desperately pulled Qin Xu and ran in the opposite direction.
However, Qin Xu's eyes were still filled with thought. Ye Anne turned a deaf ear to the earthquake and actually wanted to run back to the direction of the warehouse.
Qin Chengqi's strength was not as strong as his brother's, and looking as though he was about to be unable to hold his, just at this moment, two cracking sounds sounded out beside his ears, and following that, he saw the street lamp not far away suddenly break from the earthquake, and it directly smashed towards Qin Xu who did not notice anything.
