Chapter 443 Arrival
Liu Ran sat to the side, listening to Bai Leitian on the opposite side boasting, and felt speechless.
Liu Ran impatiently interrupted Bai Leitian, frowning, "Young Master Bai, what you're saying has nothing to do with me. Regardless of what you think or what you've done before, we don't have any deep-seated hatred between us."
"So, can we live in peace from now on?"
Hearing this, Bai Leitian burst into hearty laughter. He suddenly stood up, reached for a wine glass on the table, and looked at Liu Ran, saying, "Peaceful coexistence? Hahaha… Liu Ran, you and I are not from the same world, not from the same class. I am not only noble in status now, but my abilities are also unparalleled."
With that, Bai Leitian clenched his hand, and with a "snap," the heavy beer glass in his hand shattered into pieces.
Liu Ran was startled by this scene.
Bai Leitian stood with his hands behind his back, sneering, "I told you, you rejected the love of a truly noble man. But now, I am very grateful for your rejection."
"It was you who made me grow. Not long ago, you and Chen Yang were my inner demons. You made me unable to face myself with confidence, unable to face life with confidence, until an opportunity arose for me to stand up again."
"I finally understand now that the method to resolve my inner demons is very simple, which is… I only need to eliminate you, eliminate Chen Yang, and then all my inner demons will naturally dissipate."
"When a person dies, the lamp is extinguished. Once extinguished, it can no longer be seen, no longer become my inner demon."
Liu Ran's brows furrowed sharply upon hearing this. She realized that Bai Leitian had gone mad. What was this about her and Chen Yang being his inner demons, about him wanting to eliminate them? These absurdities were coming from Bai Leitian's mouth.
Liu Ran shook her head speechlessly, "Young Master Bai, I don't understand what's wrong with you. If you have a mental illness, then go see a professional doctor. I'm busy and won't accompany you."
Hearing this, Bai Leitian burst into hearty laughter. He extended his hand, and a red remote control appeared in his palm. Bai Leitian looked at Liu Ran and said, "Ms. Liu, do you know what this is?"
Liu Ran glanced at the remote control, her expression blank, and shook her head, "I don't know, and I don't want to know."
Bai Leitian laughed heartily and said, "No, Ms. Liu, you must be very interested to know, because this is a remote control, and it's for a powerful bomb."
"I have already planted forty-two powerful explosive devices in your building complex. As long as I press this button, the entire Chuhan Building Complex will be utterly annihilated."
"All the buildings in the Chuhan Building Complex, including the more than three hundred construction workers, and the hundreds of customers coming and going, will all turn into piles of corpses. So, Ms. Liu, are you still not interested?"
Liu Ran's face turned pale upon hearing this. She didn't want to believe it, but she dared not disbelieve it, as this was a matter of human life.
Liu Ran said, "Young Master Bai, have you gone mad? Don't joke about such things anymore."
Bai Leitian sneered, "Joke? I told you, I'm too lazy to joke with you. I came here only to eliminate my inner demons."
"As for the Chuhan Building Complex, to be honest, it was a gift from me to you. Of course, the purpose was not to make you money, but to use the Zhuge family to completely deal with your Yangyangyang Company."
Liu Ran's heart suddenly understood.
Bai Leitian continued, "I can elevate you, and I can also destroy you. This is my principle."
"I only need to press my finger lightly, and after the Chuhan Building Complex turns to ashes, with the lives of over a thousand people also turning to dust, then, let's calculate, how much compensation will your Yangyangyang Company have to pay? Hahahahahaha…"
Bai Leitian burst into maniacal laughter at this point.
Liu Ran shook her head. She was confused. She didn't understand why the young master of the prestigious Bai family had become so insane. That was over a thousand lives. What was Bai Leitian thinking?
Bai Leitian gently swayed the remote control. He glanced at Liu Ran and said, "Ms. Liu, do you want to save over a thousand lives? It's actually very simple. Serve me obediently here, and I can spare your Chuhan Building Complex, spare over a thousand lives, and spare your Yangyangyang Company."
"Of course, I won't spare Chen Yang. I said, I came here only to resolve my inner demons. Destroying you can resolve inner demons, and having you can also resolve them. Which do you choose?"
With that, Bai Leitian let out a smug cold laugh. The red button in his palm was so conspicuous and dazzling.
Bai Leitian gestured to Liu Ran and said, "If you choose to leave now, then I'll press it, and you'll witness a world-shattering explosion!"
"If you choose to stay, then you will save over a thousand lives and also save your own life. Make a choice!"
Liu Ran swallowed in horror, shaking her head, "No, this is not real. Young Master Bai, you're scaring me, right?"
Bai Leitian grinned sinisterly and waved his hand to the side, "Tell Ms. Liu, am I scaring her!"
Hearing Bai Leitian's words, his subordinate picked up his phone and pressed something. Then, a projection appeared on the wall.
A video appeared on the projection screen.
In the video, Bai Leitian's subordinate was seen carrying bundles of explosives and burying them in various parts of the Chuhan Building Complex. Silver-white explosives were also placed around the sales office of the Chuhan Building Complex.
Seeing this video, Liu Ran was completely stunned. The explosives were real. Indeed, this madman Bai Leitian had actually placed countless powerful explosives beneath her Chuhan Building Complex.
Liu Ran suddenly stood up and shouted at Bai Leitian, "Bai Leitian, have you gone mad? What do you want to do?"
"I don't know what your so-called inner demons are, but I beg you, don't play with so many lives. Quickly get someone to disarm the explosives. I'll pretend none of this ever happened."
Bai Leitian sneered and said, "I'll count down from three. I hope that in three seconds, Miss Liu can give me an answer. If Ms. Liu hasn't made a decision yet, then I will press this remote control."
Bai Leitian laughed arrogantly and then began to count, "Three, two…"
Liu Ran had gone mad by now. Her mind was blank. She didn't understand why she had provoked such a complete madman as Bai Leitian.
Liu Ran screamed, "I beg you, Young Master Bai, I beg you, stop this game. I'll kneel for you."
Liu Ran screamed in fear and fell to her knees with a "bang." However, Bai Leitian still wore a sinister smile, shaking his head, "No, I don't want your kneeling. I want you to serve me sincerely, to let me have you completely."
"So, do you have a decision now? If I count the next number, your building complex and over a thousand lives will turn to ashes."
Liu Ran shook her head in pain. She couldn't agree, but at this moment, she didn't know what else she could do.
Just then.
A figure walked in from outside the Bai Lian Winery, it was Chen Yang.
Chen Yang clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "Good tactics, truly good tactics! I never imagined there could be such a shameless, scoundrel, despicable, and vile person in this world!"
"You, a complete scoundrel, actually claim to be a noble man. Are you trying to kill me with laughter, damn it?"
