Listening to Xu Mengyan’s sarcastic remarks, Second Brother Xu wasn’t too angry; instead, he admitted frankly, "You’re right, what I did was indeed unfair, but I had no other choice."
"Because I know you’re an unpredictable girl, I was worried you’d cause trouble, so I placed a bug on your father."
"But I never expected to overhear such a big secret. You’re really something, keeping us in the dark with such a trump card and not coming clean."
"If I had known earlier that the child you’re carrying is Zhang Yang’s, we wouldn’t have had to go to so much trouble dealing with Zhang Yang."
"Rest assured, for the sake of your reputation, I won’t spread this around, nor will I tell Guo Qiyu."
"That kid has taken quite a few thugs to settle scores with Zhang Yang. Given Zhang Yang’s skills, Guo Qiyu is likely to return empty-handed again."
"Originally, according to the plan, I would send the mercenaries to assist, but now it seems unnecessary."
"This is the burial ground I specially selected for Zhang Yang. Take a look at what my mercenaries are doing?"
Xu Mengyan looked up and saw many people digging on the ground, and her expression changed.
"Are you planning to bury landmines and bombs underground?" Xu Mengyan’s eyes carried a hint of terror.
"Clever, you guessed right. I will fill the place with bombs. Isn’t Zhang Yang a great fighter? Let’s see him jump around in a field full of bombs."
"When he arrives here, there will be a bang, severing his legs. If he’s lucky, he won’t hit a bomb, but if he’s unlucky, there’ll be another bang, blowing off his arms. That way, he’ll be just like my son."
"Hahahahaha, I’ll have my revenge that way. I’ll leave him with his last gasp, provided he’s lucky. I want to drag him before my son, who said he wants to bite Zhang Yang to death bit by bit."
He’s gone mad, gone utterly mad. Second Brother Xu is completely insane now.
Xu Mengyan felt a bit of despair in her heart. In this environment, even Zhang Yang might find it hard to leave alive.
At this moment, someone accidentally triggered a bomb, followed by a loud explosion, flesh flying everywhere.
Xu Mengyan’s eyes were filled with fear; the person was blown to pieces. With such power, even Zhang Yang, as Second Brother Xu said, would likely not survive unscathed.
But this was not over yet. Second Brother Xu pointed to a warehouse behind him, "Not only are there heavy machine guns inside, but lots of gasoline."
"Even if Zhang Yang dodges these bombs, he can’t escape the gunfire. I spent a fortune on these weapons."
The place had already been laid with a perfect trap by Second Brother Xu, just waiting for Zhang Yang to fall into it.
Xu Mengyan was completely panicked and turned to run outside.
But where could Xu Mengyan possibly run to alone? The place was filled with Second Brother Xu’s people, inside and outside.
Moreover, most were mercenaries. This time, Second Brother Xu had put everything on the line to exterminate Zhang Yang without giving him the slightest chance of survival.
Xu Mengyan gritted her teeth and glared at Second Brother Xu, "Uncle, if you want revenge, you should face Zhang Yang openly. Using a woman and an unborn child, are you still a man? Are you even human?"
Second Brother Xu was fully enraged by these words, roaring at Xu Mengyan, "What does it matter if I’m no longer human? As long as I can get revenge, I’ll even be a beast."
Blinded by hatred, Second Brother Xu would not listen to Xu Mengyan.
Xu Mengyan was a bit frantic. If it continued , Zhang Yang would end up in this deadly trap.
Once Zhang Yang came, it would be a situation where nine deaths awaited one life.
In other words, there was only one way to stop this, to prevent Zhang Yang from coming.
Thinking this, Xu Mengyan looked down at her belly.
Tears instantly rolled down. She was really reluctant.
After so many years of effort to welcome this new life, the time had finally come, but the child’s father was going to die because of it. Xu Mengyan absolutely couldn’t accept this.
She gently caressed her rounded stomach and then whispered, "I’m sorry, my baby, but I have to save your father, so I can only..."
The next second, Xu Mengyan suddenly turned and sprinted toward the car.
Seeing this, Second Brother Xu instantly understood Xu Mengyan’s intentions and was shocked. He immediately ordered, "Quick, stop her! Don’t let her hurt her belly."
In a critical moment, two experts swiftly intervened and stopped Xu Mengyan.
Only then did Second Brother Xu breathe a sigh of relief and ordered, "Tie up this girl for me. Don’t let her do anything foolish."
Second Brother Xu then said to Xu Mengyan, "At least wait and see if there’s a chance to save yourself or give Zhang Yang a chance. Maybe he has a way to save you."
"Ramming over there will extinguish all hope."
Hearing this, Xu Mengyan was suddenly a bit overwhelmed. The determination she had painstakingly mustered crumbled. There was only one chance for this kind of thing; after failing, she no longer had the courage.
Second Brother Xu had Xu Mengyan taken away, tied up, but fed and treated well. She was not to have any incidents before Zhang Yang arrived, especially regarding the child in her womb.
If the child were lost, how would they have leverage to lure Zhang Yang over?
Watching Xu Mengyan being taken away, a look of hesitation flashed in Second Brother Xu’s eyes, but he quickly regained his resolve.
Next, Second Brother Xu looked at the two experts who had just blocked Xu Mengyan and asked, "Where’s your master, Fire Fox?"
It turned out these two were assassins trained by Fire Fox, no wonder they acted so swiftly to stop Xu Mengyan.
"Our master is in the back," one of the young assassins answered.
Hearing this, Second Brother Xu immediately went to look for him. Despite having mercenaries and laying such a perfect trap, he still felt a bit uncertain. This operation must be foolproof; if any loose ends are left, they would be the ones to suffer.
When he found Fire Fox, Second Brother Xu explained his plan.
It made Fire Fox’s heart race; wow, they really had created a deadly trap for Zhang Yang.
"Alright, rest assured, if this doesn’t kill Zhang Yang, I will step in," Fire Fox confidently assured Second Brother Xu.
"Good, good, with your words, I’m relieved. After killing Zhang Yang, I’ll help you seize control of the Blood-colored Begonia."
Fire Fox gave a sinister smile, "Then let’s hope for our imminent success."
