Chapter 63: Boshuwan Explosion
Gu Shengtai's muscles tensed up all over his body, and his pupils suddenly dilated.
He knew that the other party was definitely not joking.
The next moment, Gu Shengtai dropped the phone, disregarding the pain in his body, leaped up crazily, and rushed toward the villa's main gate.
The short distance of twenty meters seemed so far away at this moment, so endlessly unreachable.
"Boom!" A loud explosion sounded next to Gu Shengtai's ears.
He saw the flames, felt the intense heat, and the nearly body-tearing impact.
Everything happened in an instant.
He didn't even have time to regret, to think of his father, nor to harbor any hatred...
After the loud noise, there was silence.
The whole world seemed to have disappeared.
...
In Bright Moon City, Tang Rao, Yan Wei, and Zhou Boxiong were drinking spiritedly.
Even Yan Wei's cheeks were flushed red, having been made to drink quite a bit by Tang Rao and Zhou Boxiong.
"Come on, let's not go home unless we're drunk tonight!" Zhou Boxiong shouted, holding up a bottle of liquor.
"It's just a pity there are no girls here. It would have been even more exciting. Boss Tang, when we go to sing at the KTV later, can you invite some girls from our class?" Zhou Boxiong said to Tang Rao.
"Fat Bear, what else do you know besides girls?" Yan Wei pointed at Zhou Boxiong, grateful for his unappealing looks.
If he were a bit more handsome, who knows how many girls would have suffered.
"Skinny monkey, you know nothing! Why did we work so hard for three years in high school to get into a good university? For a beautiful future. What is a beautiful future? To make more money and enjoy life. And women, beautiful women, a lot of beautiful women, are the symbol of a beautiful life," Zhou Boxiong argued, pursing his lips.
Tang Rao and Yan Wei didn't refute Zhou Boxiong, as in a way, he wasn't entirely wrong.
"Alright, then you can call them later…" Tang Rao said to Zhou Boxiong.
"Sure thing, hehe, there are a few good prospects among the girls in our class. With a little dressing up, they're definitely beautiful," Zhou Boxiong said, squinting, lost in his thoughts.
"Now, we interrupt for a breaking news segment." In the dining room, the TV was on, tuned to the Sui City television station.
"According to reports from our station's reporters, around 5:40 PM today, an explosion occurred in Boshuwan in Sui City. The explosion completely destroyed a villa and slightly affected the surrounding villas. The fire brigade has arrived and controlled the fire at the scene. The cause of the explosion is still unclear, and there are no precise reports of casualties."
The news captured the attention of Tang Rao and Yan Wei.
"What are you thinking?" Tang Rao looked at Yan Wei.
Yan Wei took out his mobile phone, casually tapped a few times, then entered a page.
"It's easy to find out which taxi Gu Shengtai took, and it's not difficult to access the internal system of a taxi company. This way, it's straightforward to find out where Gu Shengtai went," Yan Wei said as he handed his mobile phone to Tang Rao.
"Yeah, right here, Boshuwan," Yan Wei said with a smile.
"This is getting interesting," Tang Rao said casually looking at the phone before handing it back to Yan Wei.
Gu Shengtai went to Boshuwan, and an explosion happened in Boshuwan.
Don't tell me this is another coincidence, there have been enough coincidences today.
"What do you think?" Tang Rao asked.
Yan Wei shrugged his shoulders: "I'm only responsible for collecting and analyzing intelligence. As for the rest, you'll have to judge that yourself. I'd rather not get involved in these matters."
Tang Rao didn't ask any further. Yan Wei had his own thoughts, and since he didn't want to get too involved, there was no point in forcing him.
Besides, once Yan Wei had prepared the analysis report, a lot of things were pretty clear; he didn't need to explain everything in detail.
"Alright, let's forget about all this messy stuff tonight. Come on, let's go sing all night!" Tang Rao snapped his fingers. Dinner and drinks were almost over, and Zhou Boxiong and Yan Wei were likely to get drunk if they kept drinking.
Although Fat Bear was a bit dazed from drinking, he could never forget about calling the girls.
Tang Rao and the three of them hadn't sat in the KTV VIP room for long when a large group of girls arrived.
Since it was a luxury spacious room, even though there were seven or eight girls, the room still seemed very spacious.
The eight girls were all from the same class, divided into two dormitories. Zhou Boxiong was quite familiar with them, so he called them over.
Of course, the beauties of their class were concentrated in these two dormitories.
"Come on, everyone feel free to sit and order whatever you like. It's Boss Tang who's treating, don't be polite with him!" Zhou Boxiong enthusiastically called out.
The seven or eight girls didn't act coy; they were all classmates and usually interacted.
Especially Zhou Boxiong, he mixed quite well with the girls.
"Boss Tang is really rich!"
"Thanks, Boss Tang, for the treat!"
The girls all greeted Tang Rao, although they had less contact with him and often didn't see him around. But after all, they were from the same class, and he was also Tang Renwang's only son. It would be great to build a good relationship with him.
"No need to be polite, we're all classmates. Just sit down," Tang Rao called out, and Zhou Boxiong was right; among the seven or eight girls, there were indeed a few who were quite pretty.
Everyone took their seats and the atmosphere quickly heated up.
Singing in a KTV naturally brings people closer.
Especially Zhou Boxiong, who sang particularly terribly.
In a KTV, singing terribly is often more liked than singing well and can also liven up the atmosphere more effectively.
"I just checked on my phone, and there's something quite interesting," Yan Wei leaned over and whispered to Tang Rao.
"What?" Tang Rao asked.
"That one on your right…" Yan Wei pursed his lips, "Liu Yu, she should be Gu Shengtai's girlfriend."
Tang Rao was slightly startled, then nodded.
Since she was Gu Shengtai's girlfriend, he obviously needed to interact with her.
But looking at the full smile on Liu Yu's face, she probably didn't know about Gu Shengtai's accident.
The explosion at Boshuwan, which very likely targeted Gu Shengtai. By now, Gu Shengtai might already be dead.
"Liu Yu, is Gu Shengtai your boyfriend?" Tang Rao didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
"Yes…" Liu Yu tilted her head slightly and hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.
"I also know him, why don't you call him to come join us?" Tang Rao said with a smile.
Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, possibly not expecting Tang Rao to know Gu Shengtai.
"Let me make a call then," Liu Yu thought for a moment and said, realizing that if Gu Shengtai could get along well with Tang Rao, she wouldn't have to worry about her future anymore.
"No one's answering, he's probably at a gathering with classmates or something," Liu Yu said somewhat disheartened after a minute.
