Chapter 228 - 224: The Safe (Part 2)
"So soon?"
Ling Chen was taken aback. Without much time to think, he simply moved the entire safe out from the inside.
Damn, the safe was almost a few hundred pounds heavy, nearly as much as a bull.
He took a deep breath, hugged the safe tightly with both hands, almost exerting all his strength, and step by step, he moved out of the office. After walking over ten meters, he could no longer persist and dropped the safe on the ground, then leaned against the wall and gasped for air.
"Zhu Hong has entered the building. He will arrive at your location in no more than three minutes."
Hearing Hu Fei’s voice coming from the earpiece, Ling Chen didn’t have time to rest. He continued to lift the safe, struggling towards the emergency exit. Upon reaching the staircase, a series of rapid footsteps suddenly echoed from downstairs. Looking down through the railing, he saw Zhu Hong and a few suit-clad bodyguards hurrying over.
They sure picked the right time!
It seemed he couldn’t go down anymore. Immediately, he lifted the safe and headed upstairs.
He had just reached the twelfth floor; Zhu Hong and his men had just arrived at the eleventh. Pushing open the door to the emergency exit, Zhu Hong immediately observed several of his men lying unconscious on the floor.
From just this scene, his eyes turned cold, and he said with a somber expression: "Wake them up." With that, he rushed straight into the office. Seeing the empty secret compartment, he bulged his eyes, clenched his fists tightly, and veins throbbed on his forehead. He took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing his rage, and turned to leave.
