823: Bombing

Bombing

Jing Tian reached out his hand and pulled me into his embrace.1

"Boom."

An explosion sounded at the foot of the mountain. We were really not meant for peace in this world.

Jing Tian and I jumped up almost at the same time and dashed down the mountain.

Jing Tian picked up Gao Da's phone while protecting me as we ran.

Gao Da said calmly, "Someone is attacking. It's a new type of weapon with high firepower. The cannonball landed near the workers' house of the Tong family. Currently, people are injured, and no one is dead. Master Qi, protect Nanxing, and go directly to the strong fort. There's no need to come over. Master Si and young master Qu are here. Master San is escorting the others to the strong fort."

Jing Tian put down the phone and stopped in his tracks to look down the mountain.

Under the twinkling lights, he could vaguely see people moving around, but he didn't scream or cry.

In any case, neither of our families was an ordinary family. Even the servants of our families were used to seeing big scenes with their unlucky masters.

Jing Tian asked me, "Do you want to go down with me or go to the fort to find Mai Qi and the others?"

"I'll go with you!" I said firmly

No matter what happened down there, it was all because of me. I didn't want to stay out of it. Besides, I didn't want to be separated from Jing Tian. If we lived, we would live together; if we died, we would die together. I also didn't want Jing Tian to be distracted by me during the battle ahead.

Jing Tian nodded and held my hand. We ran down the mountain at high speed.

By the time we arrived, the battle was already very intense. As soon as my little uncle saw me, he yelled at Jing Tian, "Why did you bring her here? Send her away quickly!"

I dashed to the monitor and asked Gao Jing, "Brother Jing, who is it?"

Gao Jing focused on the monitor and ordered with the walkie-talkie in his hand. He replied, "It's a group of mercenaries."

Even mercenaries?

"Then, did you inform the police?" I was a little worried.

Brother Jing said in a serious tone, "I did. I told them to set up a perimeter around our area and not let anyone come here to avoid accidental injuries. Xiao Yi and the others have already evacuated the other residents."

I heaved a sigh of relief. I wasn't afraid of death, but I was afraid of hurting the innocent.

My uncle grabbed my collar and pushed me to Jing Tian's side. "Follow your husband. I'll kill him even if you lose a piece of your skin!"

I stuck out my tongue. Only my uncle could say such contradictory words to me.

Jing Tian didn't refute me. He pulled me to Qu Hao's side.

Qu Hao didn't even turn his head. "I've already informed the military not to let them come over. We'll handle this on our own. We'll not disturb normal citizens. That would be a grave sin."

Jing Tian said indifferently, "I still have some good stuff in the warehouse. I'll have Gao Da use it. It'll be a good opportunity to try out his skills."

Qu Hao turned his head. His eyes shone with excitement. "You're willing to share your stash? That's great! Not bad. This is a good day."

I was speechless. "Young Master Qu, your reaction is a bit off."

Qu Hao didn't care at all. "It's mainly because he's too stingy and won't share the good stuff. I've always wanted to study it. It would be best if it could be mass produced. The military needs it a lot."

Jing Tian's tone was still indifferent. "Save it. If the military has the time, they should work hard to maintain peace."

Qu Hao didn't think much of it. "The prerequisite for maintaining the peace is that we have a powerful force."

My little uncle came over and interrupted them. "Let's put aside that for now. Their drones have been trying to fly in. Jing Tian, see if you can hack into their system and kill those flying in the sky. Then, give them a warning. Half an hour later, we'll talk to them. Gao Jing, will half an hour be enough time to finish the fight?"
