The busy call of the disconnected line was like a cold needle, fiercely piercing Lu Tingchen's eardrum and even his heart!
"Wanwan!" "Chenchen!" He let out a low growl into the phone that had lost signal. His pupils contracted sharply in extreme fear, and it seemed as if all his blood had frozen in an instant!
Lure the tiger away from the mountain! A complete attempt to lure the tiger away from the mountain! The large-scale assassination attempt at the old house was merely a bait to draw all his attention and elite forces! The real target of the opposing side has always been the manor with relatively weak defense! It's Su Wanwan and the child!
"Go back!" "Go back as fast as you can!" Lu Tingchen almost crashed into the car door, hoarse as he roared at Qin Hao, his voice distorted and deformed due to extreme panic! He has never been so out of control before!
The motorcade, like a frenzied steel beast, tore through the night and charged towards the manor at an almost insane speed. Lu Tingchen sat in the back seat, his fingers tightly grasping the communicator, and tried in vain again and again to reconnect with the manor. All he got in response was a silent static noise.
The veins on his forehead bulged, his eyes were red, and the worst scenes flashed through his mind uncontrollably. Each one made his heart ache and his liver and gallbladder burst apart! He was too careless! He thought that keeping the most capable Qin Hao and the majority of his men would ensure everything was fine, but he underestimated the opponent's cruelty and cunning!
"Hurry up a little more!" He suddenly pounded the back of the front seat, growling like a trapped beast.
Meanwhile, the manor was already in a state of chaos and panic!
That violent explosion came from the direction of the basement where the backup generator set of the manor was located! The explosive power was controlled with extreme precision, causing no large-scale damage. However, it successfully destroyed the backup power system and triggered a small-scale fire and thick smoke!
More importantly, the intense electromagnetic pulse generated by the explosion instantly paralyzed most of the electronic equipment in the manor, including the main communication base station and the surveillance cameras in some areas! The invaders clearly have a thorough understanding of the structure and security system of this place!
In the main hall, the lights flickered violently a few times before going out completely. Only the pale light of the emergency lights barely illuminated. Thick smoke began to seep in through the ventilation openings, and the pungent smell triggered waves of coughing and panicked screams.
"Protect Madam and Young master!" Activate the highest emergency response plan! All units report the situation!" Qin Hao was absent. The deputy commander, under intense pressure, was shocked and issued orders in a hoarse voice through the internal encrypted channel that had not yet completely failed!
"Safe in Area A!" "
"Safe in Area B!" Power outage!"
"Area C..." "Ah!" A short scream and gunshots came from the east wing corridor in the blind spot of the surveillance, and communication was immediately cut off!
"Enemy encounter on the eastern wing!" The other side has strong electromagnetic interference and weapons! The breakthrough speed is very fast! "Heading towards the main hall..."
Chaotic reports and the sounds of gunfire came through the intermittent channels, and the situation took a sudden turn for the worse!
At the moment the explosion occurred, Su Wanwan was pounced on to the ground by the bodyguard who reacted the fastest and was firmly protected. The child in the arms was crying loudly out of fear.
"Chenchen, don't be afraid!" "Mom is here!" " Despite her intense fear and dizziness, she held her son tightly and, under the cover of her bodyguards, quickly moved to the nearest safe room - a specially reinforced secret room behind the cloakroom in the master bedroom.
Along the way, the sounds of broken glass and close combat kept coming from different directions! The invaders were clearly not just one team, and they were well-trained and well-coordinated. Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the explosion and electromagnetic suppression, they were rapidly breaking through the layers of defense lines of the manor!
"Quick!" Madam! This way!" The bodyguard pushed open a heavy explosion-proof door with all his might and pushed Su Wanwan and the child in.
The door of the safe house closed heavily behind, blocking out most of the noise and gunshots outside. Only the faint sounds of dull impacts and explosions could be heard. The emergency light inside the room is on, providing an independent power supply and an air circulation system.
Su Wanwan slid to the ground, her back against the cold metal wall, breathing heavily and her heart pounding so wildly that it was almost breaking. She lowered her head to check the child in her arms. Fortunately, she was only frightened and not injured.
But fear was like a cold vine, tightly entwining her. The other party came too fast and too fiercely! And with a clear goal, it's heading straight for her and the child! Tingchen is not here, and neither is Qin Hao...
Just then, a red indicator light on the wall of the safe room suddenly started flashing wildly! At the same time, the voice of the deputy commander, anxious to the point of distortion, came from the internal communicator:
"Madam!" The opponent broke through the outer defense! They... They have insiders! The password system of the safe house has been tampered with from the outside! We lost control of the third and fourth gates! They are forcibly breaking through the last door! Our people are blocked outside and can't rush in!"
What? ! Was the safe house system tampered with by an insider? !
This news was like a bolt from the blue, completely shattering Su Wanwan's last shred of security! Her greatest reliance has actually been infiltrated long ago? !
Outside the heavy metal door, shrill sounds of cutting and crashing could already be heard! The opponent is forcing a goal with professional tools!
The safe house turned out to be a desperate situation that trapped her to death!
Despair seized Su Wanwan in an instant! She looked around the cramped space, with nowhere to escape!
The child in the arms seemed to sense the ultimate danger as well, crying even harder, his little face turning red.
The child's crying was like a knife stabbing at Su Wanwan's heart. No! She can't give up! For the sake of her child, she must hold on! Tingchen will surely come back! He surely will!
She raised her head sharply, her gaze sweeping over the equipment in the safe house. The main communication has been blocked, and internal communication is about to be interrupted as the last door is breached...
Her gaze finally fell on an unremarkable old-fashioned internal phone with a physical dial on the wall - this was the last hard-line communication line reserved for extreme electronic warfare situations, extremely difficult to be interfered with, directly connecting several core defense points of the manor and... Lu Tingchen's exclusive satellite phone!
This is the last chance!
She threw herself into the phone, her hands trembling, and with the help of her memory, she forcefully dialed the number that was engraved deep in her mind as the top priority!
"Beep..." "Beep..." A long waiting sound came from the receiver. Every second felt as unbearable as a century!
The banging sound outside the door grew louder and louder, and the twisting of the metal made one's teeth ache!
Answer it quickly! Tingchen! Answer it quickly! She prayed crazily in her heart!
...
In the speeding car, the exclusive emergency line of Lu Tingchen's satellite phone suddenly rang! The special bell made him shudder all over!
He picked up the phone almost as if he had been electrocuted, his voice hoarse and urgent: "Wanwan?" ! Is it you? ! "Speak!"
The first thing that came through the receiver was the child's heart-wrenching cry and the heavy, terrifying sound of knocking on the door!
Immediately after, Su Wanwan pretended to be calm but her voice trembled uncontrollably, speaking at an extremely fast pace:
"Tingchen!" We are in the master bedroom safe room! The system was broken by an insider! They are smashing the last door! There are a lot of people! Come well-prepared! "Hurry up..." "
The words were not finished!
"Boom!!"
A huge explosion suddenly came from the other end of the phone! Deafening! Immediately following was a terrifying deafening sound of metal completely tearing apart, followed by a burst of chaotic screams and gunshots!
The communication came to an abrupt halt! It fell silent again!
"Wanwan?" ! "Every night!!" " Lu Tingchen roared furiously into the phone, but received no response at all!
That huge explosion was like a bomb exploding in his mind! Crush his last shred of reason completely!
The door of the safe house... Blown open? !
He couldn't imagine what the scene inside was like now!
"Ah!!" He let out a roar of extreme pain and rage, his eyes so red that they almost bled! "Even faster!" "Run into me!!"
The driver stepped on the accelerator to the floor. The engine roared in despair and the vehicle was almost about to take off!
Lu Tingchen clenched his fists tightly, his nails deeply pinched into his palm, bleeding profusely but oblivious. In his world, only the last terrifying explosion on the phone and Su Wanwan's desperate voice remained...
If there is anything wrong between Wanwan and the child... He wanted all the relevant people to be buried with him! Not a single one left!
The black convoy, like vengeful arrows, with an overwhelming murderous intent, shot furiously towards the manor that had been devoured by darkness and crisis.
The lair is broken, and the precious treasure is covered with dust.
Can he regain everything he has before he loses it completely?
