Clang!
A loud explosion rang out, as the train window—which even a hammer would struggle to break—was shattered by a kick from Jiang Chen.
"Holy shit!"
"Is he that fierce?"
"What's he trying to do?"
"Is he going to throw the bomb out?"
Everyone was stunned; they had never seen someone so fierce and ruthless.
At the same time, they felt a secret delight, hoping Jiang Chen would quickly throw the bomb out.
But then, they were dumbfounded.
They saw Jiang Chen leap up onto the windowsill.
He couldn't throw the bomb. Firstly, due to the wind direction, it wasn't guaranteed to be thrown far, and secondly, there were many settlements outside. If he threw it in the wrong place, many people could die from the explosion.
So, he made a decision that ordinary people simply couldn't.
"Jiang Chen..."
A startled cry came from behind him.
Turning his head, Jiang Chen gave Gong Lin, who looked at him with concern, a slight smile, "Gong Lin, trust me, I won't get hurt."
Gong Lin's heart clenched, tears swirling in her eyes. Full of nervousness and worry, yet upon hearing his words, she nodded emphatically and shouted, "Jiang Chen, no matter what you are going to do, I trust you!"
Jiang Chen smiled and nodded, then turned and leaped off the train!
"Ah..."
Screams erupted as people in the carriage shouted and looked out the window.
"He really jumped off!"
"He—he—he got up without getting hurt. It's a miracle!"
"He's running toward the woods."
"He's trying to save all of us!"
"A hero..."
Amidst the cries of the crowd, the frightened Gong Lin had already rushed to the window, staring intently at the spot where Jiang Chen jumped off the train. At that moment, Gong Lin's tears flowed uncontrollably; she was oblivious to the passage of time.
"Boom—"
Suddenly, a muffled explosion was heard. Even though the train had traveled a distance away, people could still vaguely see the glow of fire not far off.
"No..." Gong Lin cried out in horror, then quickly covered her mouth, "Jiang Chen, you must be okay! You just have to be!"
The carriage fell into dead silence.
The silent crowd's eyes revealed a hint of sorrow and admiration for the hero.
Jiang Chen had risked his life for all of them. It could be said that he alone saved everyone in that carriage!
So great!
So incredible!
A moment later, voices began to rise again in the carriage.
"That young man must be okay."
"Yes, yes, the righteous will have divine protection; he must be fine."
"Let's all pray together, hoping that the young man is alright!"
The passengers began to pray for Jiang Chen.
Fan Zhewei's face changed. He swept his gaze over the carriage and glanced at Gong Lin, knowing that approaching Gong Lin at this time would probably get him beaten up by the passengers, so he could only shrink his neck and head back to his seat.
But at that moment, Gong Lin walked over to him. Before he could react, Gong Lin raised her hand and sent a resounding slap across his face.
"You remember this! If my husband is alright, then fine. But if something happens to him, I'll make sure you and your Fan Family are finished!"
Fan Zhewei covered his pained face, completely stunned.
...
A few minutes earlier, just as Jiang Chen had jumped off the train, he activated his Cultivation Technique to protect himself, rolled on the ground for a distance to dissipate the inertia, and then rushed into a small grove.
After ensuring there was nobody around, he lowered his head to check the timer on the bomb inside the bag.
Suddenly, Jiang Chen's face changed, and he hurriedly threw the canvas bag away with all his strength!
"Boom——"
The canvas bag had barely left his hands when it exploded not far off.
A blood-red light shield flashed over Jiang Chen's body as the huge shockwave from the explosion sent him flying.
Bang!
Jiang Chen slammed hard against a tree, his vision darkened, and he passed out.
...
He didn't know how much time had passed.
"Whoosh——"
The strange sound of running water by his ear woke Jiang Chen up, followed by a groan as he clutched his head tightly.
It hurt, it hurt so much!
The pain made it hard for him to open his eyes, but the strange sound of water kept going.
Finally, he managed to open his eyes slightly, but then, he widened them in shock.
Not far away, a woman was relieving herself, possibly not noticing Jiang Chen lying on the ground.
No way! This can't be happening!
Jiang Chen was dumbstruck.
Meanwhile, the woman heard some noise and turned her head, catching sight of the stunned Jiang Chen staring at her. At that moment, Jiang Chen's clothes were torn and tattered from the explosion, and he looked utterly disheveled and sleazy.
"Ah!"
The woman screamed sharply, quickly pulled up her pants, and shouted in panic, "Pervert."
"It's not what..." Jiang Chen began to explain, but the woman, terrified, turned and ran out of the woods.
Jiang Chen had no choice but to get up and follow her out of the trees.
Through the woods, there was a road, and the woman rushed towards a car in haste.
Jiang Chen also reached the road and glanced at the car. The plate was from Dingjing, and with a swift thought, he quickly stepped in front of the woman.
"Ah...ugh!"
The woman, seeing Jiang Chen blocking her way and his face caked in dirt, screamed again and promptly fainted.
Jiang Chen paused for a moment, then quickly went to support her.
With a wry smile and a shake of his head, Jiang Chen picked the woman up, placed her in the back seat of the car, found the car keys, and took the driver's seat.
He took the woman's phone, used her face to unlock the screen, and dialed Gong Lin's number, wanting to let her know he was safe.
"We're sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off. Please try again later..."
The phone emitted a cold, automated message.
Jiang Chen shook his head in resignation once more, found the navigation to Dingjing, and drove toward Dingjing.
Along the way, Jiang Chen occasionally glanced at the woman in the back seat.
It wasn't long before the woman woke up. She briefly opened her eyes, saw Jiang Chen driving, and immediately shut them tight again, her body uncontrollably trembling.
An amused smile crossed Jiang Chen's lips as he said, "Come on, stop pretending. I know you're awake!"
"Ah!"
The woman let out a scream and shot up from the back seat, reaching to open the door, ready to jump out.
"Don't move. If you dare to make any sudden moves, I'll rape you before killing you, kill you and then rape you again, rape you after that and kill you again!" Jiang Chen said with a playful, menacing look in his eyes.
The woman's expression tightened drastically. She curled up into a ball on her seat, maintaining as much distance from Jiang Chen as possible, and shook her head repeatedly, "I won't move, I won't move!"
While speaking, she stealthily reached for her phone to call for help, but felt nothing in her pocket. Turning her head to glance at Jiang Chen, she saw her phone on the side tray next to him and was stunned.
It's over! It's really over! Am I going to be truly raped and then killed, and killed and then raped?
This man...
The woman began to panic internally, taking a covert glance at Jiang Chen and shrinking back even further.
