Chapter 71 Liquid Bomb
"Jiang Lan??"The man on the other end of the phone sounded a little surprised, "Why did you suddenly think of looking for me?"
Jiang Lan did not answer his question, but said:
"I'll take care of Chen Duo. Don't look for him anymore."
"You...what's going on with Chen Duo? Where is she now? Is she safe? The locator on her body has been removed. Is she with you?"
Jiang Lan could tell that Liao Zhong was so flustered that his speech was a little incoherent.
"I'll take care of Chen Duo's situation." Jiang Lan had no expression on his face, and his voice was a little cold. "Don't make me say some things for the third time."
"No...you..." Liao Zhong said anxiously: "I am doing this for Chen Duo's own good! She still has a bomb around her neck. You have seen the power of that thing. If she is missing for too long, even if I don't care, the company will definitely take measures!"
Jiang Lan's expression became even colder.
Liquid bomb.
Not only had he seen it, he had even detonated it himself.
The moment that thing exploded, the death row prisoner in front of Jiang Lan was blown into a pile of meat paste from the chest up.
With that kind of power, not to mention Chen Duo, even any extraordinary person today would not be able to withstand it.
If it was a regular bomb, maybe I could dodge it with my reaction and speed, but that thing is worn around the neck, like a collar, and it has a sensor chip inside. Once removed, it will explode instantly.
"I'll negotiate with the company."
Jiang Lan just uttered a few words lightly and then hung up the phone.
Then, Jiang Lan thought for a moment and dialed another number.
"Dad, ask the company for someone. Chen Duo, the one who was in the bunker with me at that time."
The number Jiang Lan dialed was that of his father Jiang Aimin.
Jiang's father has always known Jiang Lan very well. In the year since he came out of the bunker, Jiang Lan has never asked him for anything.
So, after hearing Jiang Lan's words, he agreed without thinking:
"Okay, I'll call Director Zhao later. Where is Chen Duo now? Do you need someone to pick her up?"
"I don't know her location, but she should be safe now. I will go find her after I finish dealing with things at Longhu Mountain."
On the other end of the phone, Jiang's father was silent for a moment, then said:
"Okay, then remember to be safe and call dad anytime if anything happens."
"Well, Chen Duo has a company bomb collar around her neck, don't let them detonate it."
Once that thing explodes, Chen Duo will almost certainly die, and everything Jiang Lan has done just now will be in vain.
"Don't worry, Dad will do the job."
Not in the mood to talk more, Jiang Lan hung up the phone.
Seeing this, Xu San, Xu Si and others on the side seemed to want to say something but still did not ask.
Jiang Lan glanced at everyone and dialed the unfamiliar number again.
After all, liquid bombs are too dangerous and can cause big problems if not handled properly.
After the phone rang a few times, it was connected and the same male voice was heard again in the receiver.
"Hey?"
"Where's Chen Duo? Let her answer the phone."
"She went to rest. Just tell me if you have anything to say." said the strange man.
After a brief thought, Jiang Lan said:
"The collar around her neck contains a bomb that could explode at any time. It's very dangerous. I've already contacted someone at the company..."
Before Jiang Lan could finish, the strange man's voice interrupted:
"Don't worry about that. I've already taken that thing apart."
Jiang Lan paused, his expression somewhat doubtful.
Although he didn't quite understand how the bomb worked, he had heard from people in the company that once it was dismantled, it would explode instantly. So, how did the person on the other end of the phone do it?
However, Jiang Lan did not choose to ask, because since the stranger said so, he was most likely not lying to him.
And considering that he asked Chen Duo to call him, Jiang Lan could basically be sure that he was not a bad person.
If he really had ulterior motives, there would be no need for Chen Duo to contact him.
"Where are you? Biyou Village?" Jiang Lan still remembered the place name. He continued, "I'll go there tomorrow."
His initial thought was to wait until the matter at Longhu Mountain was over before looking for Chen Duo.
But after thinking about it, Jiang Lan always felt that this was not appropriate.
Today's competition is from eight to four, and tomorrow's is from four to two. In other words, if Zhang Chulan wants to ensure that he wins the Luotian Dajiao in the end, he only needs to play two games today and tomorrow.
As long as he wins, he can leave early. If he does not appear in the final, he will be regarded as forfeiting.
As for the wholeness...
He is not a god and cannot be in two places at once, so it is good enough that he can take care of one side.
Moreover, on the Longhu Mountain side, there are not only the people brought by Xu San and Xu Si, but also Lu Jin and others, plus these disciples of Longhu Mountain.
This luxurious lineup is definitely enough to deal with Quan Xing.
One more or one less of him will not affect the battle situation.
"No need." The strange man on the other end of the phone said, "Chen Duo doesn't want to go with you. She is safe with me."
Jiang Lan frowned slightly.
Chen Duo did say just now that she wanted to stay in the village.
The purpose of looking for Jiang Lan was just to let him contact Liao Zhong and tell Liao Zhong not to look for her.
But no matter what, Chen Duo is one of Jiang Lan's few friends.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Lan sighed.
It’s good to be friends, but they are just friends.
At this point, he has actually done his best.
So, in the end, Jiang Lan decided to respect Chen Duo's choice.
"That's it."
Jiang Lan said this last sentence and then hung up the phone.
Since Chen Duo didn't want to leave, there was no need for him to force her.
However, after the incident in Longhu Mountain is over, Jiang Lan will definitely go to the Biyou Village.
At the very least, we have to confirm where Chen Duo wants to stay.
She was very simple and had no social experience. If the man in Biyou Village was not a good person, Jiang Lan would definitely bring her back no matter what Chen Duo thought.
"Brother Lan...how is it?"
Xu Si approached Jiang Lan and asked.
Although he couldn't hear clearly what was said on the other end of the phone, from Jiang Lan's few words, Xu Si still roughly understood what had happened.
Jiang Lan shook his head slightly, "Nothing, it's solved."
Xu Si seemed to want to say something, but before he could open his mouth, Jiang Lan said:
"Tell me, if my father's name wasn't Jiang Aimin, would that collar with the liquid explosive inside have been worn around my neck as well?"
Xu Si's expression changed slightly, and then a smile appeared on his face again.
"What are you thinking about? Chen Duo's situation is special, and the company leaders can't do anything about it..."
