Chapter 1353 1348: King of Explosions
"Auntie, I just remembered that I have some unresolved work at the office, so I'll be heading out now. I'll visit Xue Wei again later," Gao Qiang said, not giving Xue's mother any chance to react, turning around and leaving.
"Oh, Qiang..." Xue's mother was taken aback when she saw Gao Qiang leaving, having heard his words clearly.
Thinking of this, she angrily glanced at Su Chen who had just walked out of the emergency room, cursing him: "You jinx, stay away from my Little Wei in the future. If it weren't for you, nothing would have happened to her..."
At this moment, Su Chen felt extremely guilty as well; he believed Xue Wei's mishap was likely related to him.
Faced with the spiteful accusations from Xue's mother, he remained silent.
Once Xue's mother left, following after Gao Qiang, Su Chen spoke to Chu Man, "Director Chu, please arrange for Xue Wei to be moved to a more secluded room and instruct the hospital staff not to approach it. No matter what happens, they should not go over."
"Su Chen, your injuries..."
"I'm fine," Su Chen assertively replied, "Just do as I say, don't worry about anything else."
"Alright, but...why don't you come to my office? Don't misunderstand, there's a bathroom in my office where you can clean your wounds..." Chu Man's voice grew softer, almost like a whisper, her cheeks reddening like apples.
Perhaps, at another time and place, Su Chen might have agreed.
But now, he needed to stay by Xue Wei's side to ensure her safety.
He also needed to ascertain whether the attack on Xue Wei was aimed at her or at him!
"No need, it's getting late. You should head back first. I understand my wounds; they're not a big deal," Su Chen said calmly.
"Alright, just don't push yourself too hard. The hospital has plenty of equipment, so if you need anything, contact the emergency department head directly. I'll call him for you..."
...
The night was silent, and after a busy hour, the emergency room returned to tranquility. Xue Wei was moved to a VIP critical care room arranged by Chu Man, where there weren't many patients and regular people couldn't access it easily.
Su Chen treated his wounds in the bathroom and then disappeared into the dark, sensing that person would definitely come!
In fact, ten minutes after Su Chen took Xue Wei to Jiangdu Private Hospital, the King of Explosions appeared there.
He somehow procured a doctor's white coat and infiltrated the critical care area unnoticed.
"Click!" The door to Xue Wei's VIP critical care room was gently twisted open.
The King of Explosions opened the door but did not enter immediately.
Instead, he observed the room using the dim light from the corridor.
Compared to his brother, Death Shooter, the King of Explosions was extremely cautious, a trait that had saved him multiple times.
Seeing no unusual signs after a long observation, the King of Explosions finally slid into the room.
Su Chen had already noticed when the door was manipulated, but he didn't rush to act.
He had roughly gauged the intruder's power, likely an Extraordinary Realm Martial Artist.
Su Chen was fully capable of capturing him the moment he made a move.
However, what puzzled Su Chen was the intruder's identity and why he targeted Xue Wei.
Xue Wei was just an ordinary person, a police officer with an extraordinary sense of justice.
After determining there was no danger in the room, the King of Explosions did not rush to act.
He slightly lowered the white mask on his face and murmured, "Your life force is incredibly strong. Under those circumstances, you survived, but this time you won't be so lucky. You'll pay for what you've done."
The King of Explosions approached Xue Wei and pulled something from the white coat, reaching to open her mouth.
Su Chen knew he could wait no longer and promptly made his move!
"Who?!"
The King of Explosions jumped in fright. Although far inferior to Su Chen, he was still a Transcendent, and sensed Su Chen the moment he appeared.
He no longer had any intention to harm Xue Wei.
His instincts told him that further delay could lead to the death of not only Xue Wei but also himself!
"Crash!" The King of Explosions dropped what he was holding and escaped through the window.
This was the hospital's fifth floor; a fall would be fatal or crippling for ordinary people, but wouldn't be high for an Extraordinary Realm Martial Artist.
Su Chen instinctively caught the item dropped by the King of Explosions.
The object was cold, with a metallic texture.
Under the moonlight, when Su Chen saw the item in his hand, he couldn't stay calm.
It was a trigger-activated miniature bomb!
Moreover, this type of bomb could have its explosion time set according to temperature changes.
Thankfully, Su Chen caught the miniature bomb instinctively.
His killing intent deepened, as the adversary had tried repeatedly to kill Xue Wei.
Su Chen heard clearly the adversary saying Xue Wei would pay for her actions.
What could a mere ordinary person have done to warrant an Extraordinary Realm Martial Artist targeting her, using such brutal methods?
Su Chen pursued without hesitation.
The King of Explosions paused two or three seconds after jumping from the room but didn't hear an explosion, tightening his heart further.
The figure hidden in the darkness was extraordinary, likely the one who rescued Xue Wei from the fire!
With a judgment in mind, the King of Explosions dared not hesitate further and focused on fleeing!
Huaxia was filled with hidden masters. Though the King of Explosions was not insignificant in the Western Dark World, Huaxia was a Forbidden Land for them. If not for avenging his deceased brother, he wouldn't dare set foot on this mysterious land lightly.
After running nearly ten miles without sensing pursuit, the King of Explosions sighed in relief.
He removed his disguise and planned to regroup and find another chance to eliminate Xue Wei.
But a voice sounded beside him, "Turns out you're an international friend?"
"Who?!" The perfectly rounded Chinese pronunciation trembled slightly.
Su Chen stepped forward from the shadows, "Why did you attack Xue Wei?"
Su Chen's eyes were icy. Though not exactly his woman, a foreign assassin daring to commit crimes in Huaxia was grounds for execution!
