Mr.CEO’s Ex-wife Escapes Again
Chapter 372: Courting Death?

Chapter 372: Chapter 372: Courting Death?

"Xiahou Jingmu, you’ve really got some nerve, knowing full well that coming up here is a death sentence, and yet you still dare to drag this woman up with you."

The man was about fifty years old, roughly the same age as Xiahou Jingmu’s father.

However, his facial features were refined and scholarly. Although he wore the same uniform, his demeanor and gait lacked the murderous aura of a military man and instead resembled more that of a civilian employee.

Yin Hehe suddenly narrowed her eyes.

Wasn’t this the famous military strategist and Xiahou Yi’s most outstanding student, Deng Yuanqi? His rank was Junior Marshal.

"Of course, he said he wanted to see who was behind me. How could I not bring her up to take a look?"

When Xiahou Jingmu saw this man appear, he put down his gun, and casually sat down in the conference hall, trying to appear as relaxed as possible.

Yin Hehe immediately looked up at the man above her.

But in just the span of that sentence, the man named Deng Yuanqi’s complexion had already worsened.

Was he afraid?

Or was he ashamed that, after hiding for so long, he finally revealed his true colors?

Yin Hehe just quietly stared at the man. After a while, she heard herself ask, "What have you done with Xiahou Yi?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the man’s gaze finally fell on her.

"Rest assured, he’s fine. I won’t harm him."

"Hehe..." Yin Hehe laughed coldly upon hearing his response.

"I thought you might be afraid to face him and would have killed him."

Her words made the man’s face turn exceedingly awkward.

She hadn’t misspoken. For many years, Xiahou Yi had always seen him as his most outstanding student, even the last incident of Xiahou Jingmu trying to take over Shengshi Group in Jiangbei was mediated by this student.

But who would have thought that this ultimate boss would turn out to be him.

Thus, it could be said that Xiahou Yi’s life was quite tragic indeed. The protege he had carefully trained from a young age betrayed him, and now his most valued student had also betrayed him.

Was it because his judgment was poor?

Or was it because he did not know how to teach?

Yin Hehe suddenly wanted to ask the old man...

"Why would I kill him? I am currently quelling a rebellion, Miss Yin. You must not misunderstand."

"..."

Yin Hehe was stunned to hear this!

Quelling a rebellion?

Could he be any more shameless? To label his own voracious ambitions as quelling a rebellion, throughout history, he could indeed be considered one of a kind.

That is to say, Xiahou Jingmu was actually his pawn from the start. He wanted to sit in the highest seat of power in the Pentagon Building, but did not want to bear the stigma of a coup or rebellion.

So he had Xiahou Jingmu initiate the rebellion.

Then, when the time was ripe, he would present himself as the cleanser of corruption, raising the banner of the righteous, and take the entire Pentagon Building into his own hands.

Brilliant!

True to his reputation as a great strategist, this entire game was beautifully executed.

"Fine then, you release them both first. Once you do that, I will naturally believe you," Yin Hehe joined in the act, playing her part since he loved to perform so much—let’s all perform together.

Sure enough, as soon as her words finished, the man up there lost his smile.

"Why the hurry? Once Xiahou Jingmu is dealt with, I will naturally release the two of them."

He gestured with his hand, and those fully armed people immediately raised their guns again, pointing them once more at Xiahou Jingmu.

Yin Hehe’s face instantly turned pale again.

She turned her head to look at this man, even though he was so foolish that he was good for nothing, he had also pushed her disgust to the extreme.

But at this moment, she still didn’t want him to die.

He was going to die!

And she would probably be the next one.

"If that’s the case, just capture him, there is no need to kill him, right? In the Imperial Capital, there is the People’s Court, his crimes will be judged by the court!"

She forced herself to calm down again, then turned her head to look at the man above her.

Xiahou Jingmu had actually started to unbutton his shirt, but when he suddenly heard this woman stand up for him, he raised his head, his expression stunned.

She didn’t want him to die?

He stopped what he was doing.

Similarly, upon hearing these words, Deng Yuanqi above also showed a surge of anger on his clear face.

"Miss Yin, you needn’t trouble yourself over these matters. You’d better look after yourself. If it weren’t for the old general’s sake, I wouldn’t spare even you!"

He said with a sinister undertone.

So, this was his true face.

Yin Hehe, seeing this, didn’t say anything further. She immediately took out a mini recorder from her person.

"I’m sorry, Mr. Deng, but I’ve already transmitted all the movements here to my law firm. I believe they are watching your live broadcast right now. If you don’t have a reasonable explanation, this material will be released very soon and the whole world will know about your glorious deeds!"

She raised the recorder high and aimed it at the man’s face for a clear close-up, speaking word by word.

In an instant, as these words fell, the entire conference hall heard a collective gasp of shock.

The man named Deng Yuanqi’s face changed drastically in a flash!

He looked at the mini recorder with a mixture of shock and rage, and within just a few seconds, a strong murderous intent welled up in his eyes.

He had forgotten about this woman’s identity.

He thought that by capturing that father and son, today’s act of cleaning the imperial side would be almost perfectly concluded. But he had overlooked that this woman was also a formidable character.

"Yin Hehe, there is a path to Heaven that you refuse to take, and there is no door to Hell, yet you insist on finding one, you are truly courting death!"

He personally drew a gun and, aiming at Yin Hehe, pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

"Get down!" At the critical moment, Xiahou Jingmu, who had just saved Yin Hehe’s life, leapt up from his chair and dragged the woman to the side.

"Clang!"

Right where Yin Hehe had just been standing, a chair was instantly shattered.

Yin Hehe was so shocked that she could no longer speak.

It was at this time that Deng Yuanqi, in a fit of embarrassed rage, directly ordered them: "Kill them!"

"I’d like to see who dares to shoot!"

At the crucial moment, Xiahou Jingmu, who had just saved Yin Hehe’s life, forcefully tore open his own shirt, and all of a sudden, everyone saw a timed bomb strapped to his body.

!!!!!

My God!

Now no one in the entire conference hall dared to shoot, not even Deng Yuanqi dared to make a move.

Yin Hehe stared blankly.

When did he prepare for this? When he came, wasn’t he aiming for the highest position of power in the Pentagon Building?

Why would he have a bomb strapped to him?

Could it be that he didn’t trust this man that much after all, and he came prepared today?

"
