Chapter 1417 - 1418: Fierce Battle 5
"What does it matter if a hundred people die, as long as we can take down Bai Chenyao!"
The young man wasn’t just breaking out in a cold sweat; his whole body’s blood seemed to freeze in an instant.
He hadn’t really considered this and couldn’t even dare to believe it.
But listening to Old Jin say it himself, the young man’s eyes widened enormously, almost freezing for three seconds.
The drunk Old Jin glanced at him, issuing a cold warning.
"This information cannot be leaked, or else... not only you, but even your family, the Boss won’t spare any of you!"
Though the young man was extremely angry, he still nodded quickly.
"Don’t worry, since you call me Uncle, when it’s time to retreat, I’ll take you with me!"
A grateful and obliged expression appeared on the young man’s face, which alternated between being pale and red.
"Uncle Lao Jin, my life is in your hands now!"
Realizing he had misspoken, Old Jin felt somewhat reassured after hearing the young man’s words.
If the Boss found out that he divulged such critical information while drunk to a greenhorn, then the one at risk of losing everything would be him!
This greenhorn can’t be spared!
However, he was older now and truly had too much to drink; even if he wanted to shoot the greenhorn, he lacked the strength.
So, he could only try to settle him with words for the time being.
Seeing the greenhorn’s gratitude and awe towards him, Old Jin felt he might have worried too much.
Such a self-serving youngster, how could he suspect that the promise to take him along was just a stalling tactic? He might actually believe it.
Originally planning to get rid of the young man shortly, Old Jin changed his mind.
If the shot missed and drew attention, and this greenhorn blurted their conversation out, it would be truly troubling.
Thinking along these lines, Old Jin simply continued drinking with the young man, intending to get him drunk first before taking further action.
The young man’s thoughts mirrored his almost exactly.
However, the young man valued his life more and knew Old Jin’s nature; Old Jin never really cared for others’ lives. He might be pretending to keep him around, but would surely eliminate him later.
With this in mind, the young man’s heart pounded like a drum, afraid Old Jin might notice any hint of his intentions.
Realizing he was standing over ten tons of explosives, the young man thought the Boss was utterly insane.
Is it necessary to use ten tons of explosives to deal with one Bai Chenyao?
Are they trying to blow up this person or create a mushroom cloud here!
No longer feeling drunk, the young man suppressed the unrest in his heart and continued drinking with Old Jin, secretly planning to get Old Jin drunk and extract more information from him.
Like, where’s the fuse?
That’s the most crucial thing.
But he worried that asking too directly would arouse Old Jin’s suspicion.
Upon reconsideration, he realized that asking Old Jin directly about Bai Chenyao earlier didn’t seem abnormal, and suddenly not asking might appear unusual.
Thinking about how facing the knife or avoiding it would both end the same, the young man decided to take a chance!
Old Jin tried hard to stay conscious, secretly relieved when he heard the greenhorn directly ask about the fuse.
If the greenhorn had been indirect, or not asked at all, he would have immediately pulled out his gun to finish him off.
"It’s right under my feet. See this line? Just light it!"
The young man’s face showed a look of surprise, then he leaned in to take a closer look.
But he didn’t sit steadily, and with a thud, he fell off his chair, landing face-first into the ground.
