AWB Chapter 191: He and Mi Yueyao are completely bound together!
Chapter 191: He and Mi Yueyao are completely bound together!
Zhang Fan traveled at a rapid pace, not daring to stop for even a moment.
Only when he saw the gate of the mansion did he breathe a slight sigh of relief, but the irritation in his heart only increased.
He returned to his residence and locked himself in his study.
Pacing back and forth!
Mi Yueyao!
This woman is absolutely ruthless!
Even now, recalling what happened last night still leaves him with lingering fear.
The bed is falling apart!
This is no longer a matter of coercion or bribery!
This is a damn underhanded scheme, a blatant plot!
She's trying to use this method to completely bind herself to her, making it impossible for her to clear her name even if she jumps into the Yellow River!
As for her claim that she "has connections and influence in Xianyang!"
Now that Zhang Fan has calmed down and thought about it, he thinks, "Nobody would believe that!"
That's clearly just deceiving yourself!
She herself was afraid, afraid that as soon as she stepped out of Ji Honglou's door, she would run to Xianyang to report her!
That's why she resorted to this most extreme method!
Create a fait accompli to make yourself hesitant to act!
No!
Zhang Fan scratched his hair in frustration.
We absolutely must not sell her the steel!
This is the lifeline of the nation, his bottom line, and his protective shield!
Once he sells it, he'll be doomed.
As for the coal that has already been sold...
Let's just say we're turning a blind eye!
Paying money can prevent trouble!
As long as she stops bothering me, I'll let this mess go.
Just as he was struggling with this internal conflict, there was a gentle knock on the study door.
"Young master, it's time for breakfast."
It was Luo Ying's voice.
Zhang Fan suppressed his irritation and responded:
"Come in."
The door was pushed open, and the sisters Luo Ying and Luo Li walked in carrying a delicate breakfast.
As always, Luo Ying remained composed, but she dared not meet Zhang Fan's gaze.
Luo Li, the younger sister, blushed deeply and kept her head down after putting down her plate, nervously twisting the hem of her clothes with her fingers.
Seeing their expressions, Zhang Fan felt angry again.
He took a sip of tea to moisten his dry throat, and asked irritably:
"Where the hell were you two last night?"
"Our master was almost eaten, and none of you came to his rescue?"
Upon hearing this, the two sisters exchanged a glance.
The blush on her face didn't lessen but rather increased!
Luo Ying raised her head, her face full of guilt and anxiety:
"Please forgive me, young master!"
"My sister and I waited downstairs all night, and we were extremely anxious because you hadn't returned for so long!"
"We wanted to rush to the top floor, but..."
She bit her lip, her expression somewhat strange.
"But we were stopped."
"We've been stopped?" Zhang Fan frowned.
Luo Ying nodded and continued:
"It was several men in black. They were extremely skilled; they appeared behind us silently!"
"They said...they said they were ordered to protect the young master, and repeatedly assured us that his life was not in danger, and told us not to go up and ruin his plans..."
"We are no match for them, and we fear that rash action would bring even greater trouble to you, young master, so..."
"Black Ice Platform?"
Zhang Fan was stunned, and those two words slipped out.
Luo Ying looked up in surprise:
"Does the young master know them?"
Zhang Fan didn't answer her; he froze completely.
The Black Ice Guard... that must have been sent by Brother Zheng to secretly protect me!
and many more!
Protect yourself...
There is no danger to their lives...
Not letting them go up would ruin the "good thing"...
A terrifying thought instantly exploded in Zhang Fan's mind!
Doesn't this mean that all of my interactions with Mi Yueyao last night, from beginning to end, including being drugged and then...
Everything that happened was clearly seen by the people at Black Ice Platform.
Did they know that they had met with the remnants of the Chu state in secret?
Did they know they had spent the night with a woman of sensitive status?
If this were reported to Ying Zheng...
Zhang Fan felt a sudden darkness engulf his vision.
My head, which was already throbbing from a hangover and medication side effects, is now hurting even more.
This is a huge problem!
A long time passed.
Zhang Fan paced anxiously back and forth in the study, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
My head, which had just regained some clarity, started buzzing again.
Black Ice Platform!
These three words were like three mountains, pressing down on him and making it hard for him to breathe.
He was entangled with the remnants of the Chu state and was caught red-handed. This was practically handing Ying Zheng the evidence of treason!
Just as he was in a state of confusion, pondering how to write a "statement of the situation" to explain this absurd night to Ying Zheng.
A familiar buzzing sound suddenly rang out, interrupting all his thoughts.
The phone is ringing!
Zhang Fan perked up and quickly took out his phone to answer the call.
"Chief Zhu Feng?"
On the other end of the phone, Commander Zhu Feng's voice was urgent:
"Comrade Zhang Fan, it's an emergency!"
"We've just conducted another round of in-depth simulations of the geological structure of the project site using a supercomputer!"
"The results show that there were significant omissions in the previous simulation data!"
Zhang Fan's heart sank: "What oversight?"
"Coalbed methane!"
Zhu Feng's voice was extremely solemn.
"Our latest simulation results show that there is high concentration and high pressure of shallow coalbed methane in the coal mining area at the same coordinates in Shanxi!"
"This is a dangerous gas that can easily cause poisoning, suffocation, and even explosion!"
"We don't know how far your excavation is going right now. If this thing is leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
"Comrade Zhang Fan, please report the excavation progress immediately. We must assess the risks immediately to prevent a major safety accident!"
After he finished speaking, there was a deathly silence!
Coalbed methane! Gas!
Zhang Fan's expression changed drastically.
Compared to the safety of the workers, his personal affairs and political risks are utterly insignificant!
"clear!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Fan hung up the phone, his face already deathly pale.
He turned around abruptly, flung open the study door, and rushed out like a madman.
"Young Master!"
Upon seeing this, Luo Ying and Luo Li, without even having time to prepare their breakfast, immediately followed after them, their faces full of worry.
As soon as they rushed out of the courtyard, they bumped into Fusu and Mofeng, who were rubbing their eyes and looking sleepy.
"Brother Zhang, is there a fire so early in the morning?"
Fusu asked while yawning, clearly not fully awake yet.
Zhang Fan had no time to explain. He grabbed both of their arms and shouted in an unquestionable tone:
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry! Come with me to the coal mine! Something terrible has happened!"
After saying that, he grabbed the two men and rushed out of the mansion, mounted his horse, and didn't dare to delay for a moment.
……
at the same time.
At a coal mine outside Changzi County, thousands of laborers are working hard.
A bustling scene!
At the entrance to a newly opened mine tunnel, a laborer suddenly put down his hoe.
He looked at the coal wall in front of him with a puzzled expression. There was a small hole, about the thickness of a finger, that had appeared there at some point, and it was hissing out steam.
He curiously leaned closer and sniffed it.
A strange, colorless and odorless scent entered my nostrils!
He suddenly felt a dizzying sensation, his head spinning, and a strange sense of comfort and lightness washed over him.
