Chapter 346: Chapter 323: The Angry Li Chen

At the moment the explosion began, the floor of Lin Yi’s office collapsed downwards directly, and Li Chen, without thinking, jumped right down.

"Lin Yi!"

Li Chen shouted loudly, quickly reaching the collapsing floor, then grabbed Lin Yi.

"Hold on tight to me!"

Li Chen yelled. Lin Yi immediately clung to Li Chen, and the two of them were like a solitary canoe amidst the torrent of collapsing steel and concrete. Above them, countless rocks and steel rebars were also breaking apart, then falling downwards!

Around them, the numerous steel and concrete were collapsing at that moment, falling directly downwards. Everywhere they looked, there was nothing but collapsing steel and concrete.

This torrential downpour seemed to submerge Li Chen and Lin Yi, and watching them struggle amidst the steel and concrete, Li Xinmei sneered coldly then turned away, as if she had done nothing at all.

Soon, the patch of ground where Li Chen and Lin Yi were located was about to hit the ground, and below was already a scene of devastation. Falling like this would smash everything to pieces, including them.

Li Chen couldn’t jump because the stones were also falling; there was no solid platform to leverage, especially since he was holding Lin Yi in his arms.

Glancing upwards, the countless pieces of concrete and rocks were smashing down toward him, more terrifying than when he had rescued Lin Yi from Shadow’s hands.

"Boom"

A loud crash sounded, and the ground where Li Chen was located smashed onto the ground, but Li Chen, having infused himself with True Qi, leaped before hitting the ground and landed back on it.

With his legs infused with True Qi, he actually broke through the debris on the ground!

At that moment, the rocks above also smashed down directly, inevitable and mixed with some steel rebars!

"Close your eyes!"

Li Chen shouted.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi immediately closed his eyes, while Li Chen shielded Lin Yi in his arms and bent his body, using his back to resist the crashing boulders.

"Boom"

Another sound followed immediately after the first, as the boulder smashed onto Li Chen’s back, then another fell, and in just a moment, the spot where Li Chen was got completely buried by boulders!

Before long, everything settled down, though the dust was still spreading. The once intact Lin Corporation Building now was only half intact, with the other half having turned into ruins beside it!

Pedestrians looking at the debris were dumbfounded, and at that moment, the sirens of the police (110) and ambulance (120) had started to sound!

People around saw a fleet of police cars and ambulances driving over, clearly the police had received the news and sent people immediately.

"Another explosion," the leading police officer said grimly, then loudly commanded, "Everyone move quickly, rescue efficiently!"

"Captain, there’s too much rubble, and we didn’t bring tools this time!"

"Cut the crap, start digging by hand, and also get some excavators here!"

The police officer yelled sternly, and Yu Yueying also came over, her position having risen somewhat, now overseeing a group of police officers.

Looking at the collapsed Lin’s Group, Yu Yueying felt a sense of unease in her heart, as if Li Chen was working there, and she didn’t know whether he was safe.

The fire department personnel also arrived, with the leader walking towards them, clearly planning the next steps.

The pedestrians around watched as the police got busy, and cordons were set up. Both the firefighters and police started taking action, and simultaneously, another siren sounded, but this time, it was the armed police who had arrived.

The explosion at Lin’s Group had alerted the Linchuan Municipal Government; the armed police were called in. With such an explosion and so many people buried, it could potentially affect the performance achievements of the officials.

Several leaders were already on their way, and some police and armed police had formed teams to scout ahead and check the condition of Lin’s Group, seeing if there were any stairs still intact, as there were still many people trapped upstairs.

However, most of the police effort was focused on digging through the rubble, as this was crucial. Each second in the evening could mean a person’s life.

"Quick!"

The police shouted loudly, and by then, several excavators had been brought in, which made the operation much easier. They first used life detectors to see if there were any people, before using the excavators to start digging.

Several major newspapers had also arrived. They took out their cameras and started interviewing people around, while the television crew began recording and live broadcasting.

Such a major incident would at least shake the nation, and Linchuan, already a leading second-tier city with a very developed economy, had suddenly experienced a building collapse. This event would definitely catch the attention of the leaders.

It wasn’t long before the leaders arrived, setting up a command center directly. The surrounding pedestrians watched, hoping that those buried were still alive.

Meanwhile, for those employees trapped on floors that had not yet collapsed, they immediately deployed cranes to rescue them.

"Alive, there’s someone alive here!" At the same time, a police officer shouted excitedly, reinvigorating the spirits of those around, who quickly resumed digging. Before long, an employee, covered in blood and unconscious, was dug out.

Someone immediately carried him to a stretcher and then onto an ambulance, which drove straight to the hospital!

The excavation continued in an orderly and rapid manner, and at that time, someone uncovered more people, pushing aside the rubble to reveal a man bent over.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out he was protecting a woman in his arms, and just then, the man moved.

"Still alive?" the police exclaimed in surprise, while Li Chen stood up straight. His body was covered in dust, his back was bloody, there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.

He had used his back to block the falling boulders, which all hit him. Even though Li Chen was protected by his True Qi, he was still hurt, but fortunately, under his protection, Lin Yi was unharmed.

The surrounding police wanted to help, but Li Chen shook his head, "I’m fine."

Then, holding Lin Yi, Li Chen walked out of the rubble directly. The rescue personnel wanted to help, but Li Chen refused them. Lin Yi, in his arms, opened her eyes, looking at the dusty Li Chen, her heart softened immensely.

"Are you alright?" Lin Yi asked softly.

"Do I look like I’m hurt?" Li Chen replied with a slight smile.

The police and others wanted to offer help, but they were all refused by Li Chen, who then left the scene.

But the fury within Li Chen was already kindling. No matter who you are, no matter where you hide, even to the Ends of the Earth, I will chase after you!

Towards this person, Li Chen’s hatred had even surpassed that towards the Ghost King.
