The Law of Heaven

Chapter 73 Jiang Hai's Gratitude

The explosions continued, and the long street was a scene of devastation.

Aihara braced himself on the ground with both hands, his sweat-drenched hair falling down his forehead, and his sunglasses slipped slightly, revealing his sharply defined face, his eyes filled with exhaustion.

Smoke and flames spread behind him, but they did not affect Jiang Wanwu beneath him in the slightest.

Jiang Wanwu was pinned to the ground by him, with nowhere to put her hands, so she could only shrink into his chest.

This career-driven woman had never been so vulnerable before, but she didn't dislike the feeling of being protected; instead, she greedily inhaled his scent.

Even when he sweats, he doesn't have an overly masculine smell; instead, he exudes a youthful freshness.

The mother beside him had already fainted.

Jiang Wanwu knew that if it weren't for this boy she had taken a liking to at first sight, they would probably not have escaped this calamity today.

She pursed her lips and unconsciously gripped the boy's collar.

That's amazing!

"It's okay, I can still manage."

Aihara sensed her nervousness and unease, thinking that even if she had a high status, she was still just a girl in her early twenties, and she would still be afraid when faced with such a situation.

"Ok!"

The wind tousled Jiang Wanwu's long hair, and hundreds of strands of hair disheveled her exquisitely made-up face. She closed her eyes.

Aihara breathed a sigh of relief. He saw the science museum shaking in the aftershocks of the explosion, while his companions had been pulled out and were lying on the flowerbeds by the roadside.

Master Zhou is still breathing, so he shouldn't be seriously injured.

Jianmo had already gotten up and was helping Xiaoli stop the bleeding and treat her wounds while desperately calling for help into the walkie-talkie.

It looks like there's still hope.

This is all thanks to Fu Wanghu.

Aihara's heart finally settled down.

The horn sounded.

Police cars, fire trucks, and ambulances.

The noise was deafening.

Fu Wanghu appeared like a ghost, scratched his head, and sighed, "That's all I can do for you. Drag them out of the blast radius. I can't save the rest, and I don't have any ability to protect others."

I can only say you're lucky. The Shi family's plan, which they've been preparing for so long, shouldn't have been this simple. But they deployed very few troops today, I don't know why... But overall, it should be a good thing.”

Aihara, however, knew what was going on.

The Shi family's top combat force was most likely wiped out by Xiao Qi alone, which is why they didn't come much today.

We really have to thank Xiao Qi.

Aihara is determined to make Mirage her strongest support, helping her solve all logistical problems.

“Fu Wanghu, tell the truth.”

He took a deep breath and asked, "What's going on with the Shi family? The Shi family can't have gone this far because of a conflict of interest. This is definitely a deep-seated grudge against the Deep Blue Alliance."

The people sent out by the Shi family were all suicide squad members.

They're a bunch of antisocial lunatics.

If it weren't for the hatred education she received from childhood, it would be absolutely impossible for her to go to such lengths for the Shi family.

If things continue like this, DeepBlue Union will definitely suffer losses, because they are a company that uses profits to attract a group of employees to work for them.

But to be honest, money is just an external thing.

If you're really in danger, no one will risk their life for you.

Just like that popular saying online.

"A few thousand yuan a month, and you're working this hard?"

Only members of the five major families might contribute more, but in the face of a life-or-death crisis, most people would probably choose to flee with their families.

Today's events are a good example. After the science museum was attacked by terrorists, only a very small number of people fulfilled their duties. Most people didn't care about anything else and just ran away.

But the Shi family was different.

The Shi family is damn religious.

A bunch of lunatics!
He recalled the pattern the German officer had scratched on the table; there was definitely something fishy about it.

"It seems you've guessed something too."

Fu Wanghu smiled sarcastically and said calmly, "Actually, more than a hundred years ago, the Shi family was also one of the five great families, and even the one with the highest status. It's just that the Ruan family came later and threatened the Shi family's position. As for the expedition to Fog Mountain back then, it was a conspiracy between these six families using the Germans. They gathered together, wanting to uncover the secrets of Fog Mountain."

Unfortunately, this group went too far, causing a huge mess and resulting in a terrible accident. Most of the Germans died there, with only a very few escaping. The six major families also suffered heavy losses, especially the Shi family.

During this process, the Shi family was spiritually corrupted, and a large-scale decline occurred. In order to prevent the news from leaking out and to protect the ancient relics they obtained in the Misty Mountain... the remaining five families, at the suggestion of the Ruan family, jointly wiped out the Shi family.

The Deep Blue Alliance was actually established over a hundred years ago, though the five major families later made some modifications to this history. Otherwise, why do you think the company immediately decided to explore Fog Mountain after learning of the serum's existence? Because they knew that the secrets buried back then had been unearthed again, and the ghosts of the dead had risen from hell to seek revenge.” Fu Wanghu’s tone was nonchalant.

It doesn't matter if it's none of your business.

Aihara's scalp tingled.

My positive feelings towards the company plummeted to rock bottom in an instant.

It turns out that there is such a dirty history behind Deep Blue Alliance. The five major families have built their current scale by stepping on the corpses of those people back then.

Aihara thought of the immortal experiment he had seen in the misty mountains, and for a moment felt like vomiting.

Fu Wanghu acted as if it were none of his business, as if he wasn't a member of the five major families at all.

However, Fu Wanghu may not have had any sense of belonging to the company. Such a person has a bit of antisocial personality disorder and is also somewhat extremely selfish, so it is impossible for him to belong to any group.

But Aihara always felt that he might be hiding something.

However, Aihara had no evidence.

Fu Wanghu didn't say anything more, and drifted away like a ghost, heading towards the rooftop.

Once the explosion subsided, everything calmed down.

On the rooftop of the science museum, Shi Lian, clutching her severed arm, fell backward and into a suddenly opened spacetime rift.

Only a pool of blood remained on the spot.

Mu Bei watched this scene and sneered: "After taking this blow from you, even if he doesn't die, he'll most likely be crippled, right?"

Chairman Ruan covered her trembling right wrist without saying a word until the rooftop door was opened and a large number of combat troops rushed to support her, surrounding her.

"Chairman, are you alright?"

Ruan Yang was in a hurry, having just arrived from the outskirts of the city.

Chairman Ruan inquired, "Is everything alright? I just detected an energy pulse coming from the east. Did Director Jiang Hai use a new type of weapon? Is he still alive?"

"Alive."

Ruan Yang hummed in agreement: "We're on our way here."

The surrounding streets were once again blocked off. Yan Chengwu and Zhou Yin, covered in wounds, got out of the car. They were clearly exhausted after a fierce battle.

They directed security and medical personnel to rescue the injured in the ruins, their shouts filling the air.

The last car to arrive was a Maybach riddled with holes. Jiang Hai, supported by Huo Zizhen, got out of the car, holding a silver briefcase in his hand.

Jiang Hai looked around, and for the first time, a crack of emotion appeared on his usually cold and hard face. He immediately saw his wife and daughter in the ruins of the long street.

And of course, there was the boy who protected them.

Aihara was kneeling on the ground, completely exhausted, but the area within half a meter around him was intact, with the asphalt road surface still intact, including the mother and daughter.

Just half a meter away, the scene was one of utter devastation.

Countless people watched this somewhat shocking scene. Aihara's body was slender and thin, yet as strong and powerful as bamboo joints, as if he had single-handedly supported that piece of pure land. Smoke and wind swept past him, and his sleeves fluttered.

A great sense of security enveloped Jiang Wanwu. She picked up her unconscious mother and placed her on her lap, then knelt down in front of the boy, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Wanwu reached out and hugged the boy.

My heart was pounding.

Aihara smelled the rose scent on the woman, and his tense nerves relaxed, making him drowsy.

At this time, footsteps were heard.

Jiang Hai walked over carrying a briefcase. He was coughing violently, but his voice remained cold and hard as he asked, "Excuse me, are you... Xiang Chaonan's nephew, Xiang Yuan?"

Aihara looked up.

She met the man's cold gaze.

That look in his eyes inexplicably gave people a sense of pressure.

Jiang Wanwu was startled, first overjoyed that her father was still alive, then turning around to shield the boy behind her: "Father, Xiaoyuan... he..."

Jiang Hai suddenly raised his hand, signaling her to shut up.

The man's gaze was not on his daughter, but on the boy behind her.

"Thank you for saving them."

Jiang Wanwu was stunned for a moment.

See you soon.

My usually cold and unapproachable father actually thanked me?
