CHAPTER 923: CHAPTER 896:

Maybe Brother Chen has completely given up on me, leaving me to fend for myself. Liu Momo curled up in the corner of the prison, her hands bound with chains, the other end locked to the wall. A person had just come by with great difficulty, claiming he wanted to save her, but unfortunately he didn’t have Brother Chen’s abilities. Despite his efforts, he couldn’t take her away. Liu Momo clearly saw something unclean in the man’s eyes—she knew it was the greedy desire men felt upon seeing a beautiful woman. Liu Momo was no stranger to such looks.

They were present at school, and even more so at work, where, over time, the unwritten rules gradually surfaced. Those girls without her abilities kept getting promoted, becoming either the general manager’s assistant or the chairman’s secretary. Only she remained as an office clerk. Even Qianqian advised her against being inflexible and encouraged her to adapt to society.

"Sigh..." Liu Momo curled up in the corner, coughing relentlessly. The thick smoke in the prison seemed to be consuming her. She sighed, hoping that she could see Brother Chen one last time before she died. Sadly, this wish seemed too extravagant. As tears streamed down her face, she said, "Let me quietly leave this world, as if I never existed. Brother Chen, Momo loves you, but why can’t I even see you one last time in my final moments?"

"Silly girl, isn’t Brother Chen already here?" a familiar voice came through the smoke. Liu Momo was greatly shocked. She laughed at herself—could it be that she had already died? Or was she hearing Brother Chen’s voice in her dying moments?

"It’s a fantasy, yes, it must be a fantasy!" Liu Momo shook her head helplessly.

"Momo, Brother Chen has come to take you away!" Ye Chen rushed in, the dungeon’s door had cost him some time. After finally breaking in, he hurried to Liu Momo and wrapped a damp blanket around her, covering her nose with a wet towel. "Momo, don’t be afraid, Brother Chen is here now!"

"Brother Chen, is it really you?" Liu Momo looked at the vague figure in the smoke with astonishment. If it was fake, why was it so clear? Could it be a dream? Or a virtual illusion? People often dream of the most beautiful things when they are about to die...

"Of course it’s me!" Ye Chen stepped forward, grabbed the chain with both hands, and broke it with a forceful pull. He quickly picked up Liu Momo and moved out, holding the broken chain. There was no time to unlock it, they had to get out first and sort it out later.

As soon as they left the dungeon, the hall was already a sea of fire. Ye Chen glanced at the young man by the staircase, realizing he was gone, though the bag remained. Ye Chen turned and ran outside. Liu Momo lay in his arms, her eyes closed, holding the damp towel tightly, feeling a sense of peace within.

She had resolved that, whether it was a dream or reality, she would never leave Brother Chen again. Even if it was just a dream, she would let it last forever. At least, she was with Brother Chen.

Ye Chen held Liu Momo, dodging left and right. He could almost hear the voices shouting outside, yet he was disoriented in the vast hall, surrounded by flames and a constant sizzling sound.

"Brother Chen, it’s so beautiful!" Liu Momo gazed up at the ceiling.

Ye Chen was taken aback. He looked up and saw the shit, it was a burning chandelier. It was indeed beautiful when aflame, but damn it, it was falling. Ye Chen was scared out of his wits and quickly ran away.

Bang...

With a loud crash, the massive crystal chandelier fell from the air, scattering countless sparks upon hitting the ground. Liu Momo lay in Ye Chen’s arms, exclaiming, "Wow, how beautiful. Who knew a crystal chandelier could be so beautiful?"

"Beautiful, yes, truly beautiful, except we’re about to die!" Ye Chen complained, frustrated, as the flames around him fought for the oxygen in the air, forcing him to breathe heavily. Liu Momo smiled serenely and said, "To die with Brother Chen, I’m content!"

"Silly girl, we won’t die, we can’t die!" Ye Chen rushed forward with Liu Momo, having grasped a pattern by now—running towards the sound. The louder it is, the more likely it’s towards the entrance. Ye Chen sped towards the noise. Meanwhile, Liu Momo’s coughing intensified, as the dust and high levels of carbon dioxide in the air posed a deadly threat. Liu Momo breathed heavily, seemingly hanging by a thread.

Soon, the entrance was in sight. Ye Chen shouted, "Shit, come help us quickly!"

"Brother Chen, it’s Brother Chen’s voice!" Liu San led a group, rushing in fearlessly, each wrapped in a damp blanket.

"Hurry, take Momo away!" Ye Chen hurriedly handed Liu Momo over to them. Liu San and the others swiftly took Liu Momo and ran out. By the time Ye Chen emerged, his clothes were already on fire.

"Damn, save Brother Chen quickly!" everyone shouted urgently.

Crackle... Crackle...

The fire extinguisher quickly sprayed over Ye Chen. Before Ye Chen could even say a word, that bunch of guys had already sprayed dry ice on him. Ye Chen roared, "Bastards, who told you to spray dry ice?"

"Uh..." The underlings looked at the ice-covered Ye Chen, each looking at one another in bewilderment.

Thankfully it was Ye Chen. If it were someone else, they might have lost their life. Ye Chen’s clothes were almost completely burned off, but his skin and hair weren’t harmed at all, which made Liu San and others very astonished, "Brother Chen, you... don’t seem to be injured? How come your clothes were burned like this?"

"I’m fine!" Ye Chen shook off the dry ice on him, then asked, "How is Momo?"

"Princess Momo is fine, just a bit of her hair got burned, nothing else serious!" Liu San replied promptly. Liu Momo had already been sent to the hospital by the underlings; her lungs inhaled a lot of dust, and if she didn’t go to the hospital to clean them, there could be consequences.

"That’s good!" Ye Chen nodded, took the clothes Liu San handed over, and after changing into the Black Water Security Company’s uniform, he waved, "Go throw Hei Hu’s body into the fire, don’t leave it in this world to harm others!"

"Got it!" Liu San immediately nodded, directed two underlings to drag Hei Hu’s body into the fire pit.

As soon as the battle here ended, the police arrived with sirens wailing. However, this time Zhang Yantong was also in the team. In fact, after she learned that the Heavenly Reversal Gang’s territory had been trampled, she had been working on it, hoping to intervene, but was continually suppressed. It wasn’t until just recently that she decided to act alone, hurriedly bringing dozens of police officers to the scene.

"Ye Chen, you... what are you doing here?" Zhang Yantong asked in confusion.

"Hmm!" Ye Chen nodded, dusted off his head, then laughed, "If I say I came here to put out the fire, would you believe it?"

"Putting out fires? So many people died here; did you come to put out fires or to kill people?" Zhang Yantong stared at Ye Chen. Ye Chen was stunned, awkwardly smiling, "Didn’t a lot of Fierce Tiger Gang people die? We, from the Heavenly Reversal Gang, have casualties too!"

Zhang Yantong said briskly, "Now how am I supposed to report to the higher-ups? I came here on my own initiative with so many people to save your Heavenly Reversal Gang, only to find you leisurely watching a fire show here? And even throwing bodies into it!"

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Ye Chen quickly waved his hand, then said, "If I hadn’t arrived in time, even more of the Heavenly Reversal Gang’s people would have died! So..."

"So, I’ve decided to take you away!" Zhang Yantong snorted lightly.

"You... why take me away?" Ye Chen was taken aback, "I came to save people, not to kill. And besides, which eye of yours saw me kill?"

"Hmph, you must come with me!" Zhang Yantong snorted coldly.

"Sis..." Liu San quickly came over, showing a fawning smile, "Brother Chen really didn’t kill anyone, it was all done by us. If you need to arrest someone, arrest us!"

Liu San felt a bit frustrated; on one side was his boss, and on the other was his sis in-law, offending neither was an option. Helplessly, he could only sacrifice himself. Sis-in-law is with the police, getting arrested wouldn’t be a big deal—just a few days in jail, right? These days, if you come out and haven’t even been in jail, you’d be laughed at."

"Step aside!" Zhang Yantong pushed Liu San far away. King Guangmu and the others gathered together, laughing. Liu San looked aggrieved, shit, trying to be a good person ended up making people dislike him. Ye Chen was helpless and could only extend his hand, "Alright, arrest me then!"

"Hmph, take him away!" Zhang Yantong waved. Two junior officers with peaked caps came up, looking helpless, revealing a bitter smile, "Brother Ye, really sorry, the boss told us to cuff you, if we don’t, we might lose our jobs!"

"Cuff me, if you don’t, I might end up divorced!" Ye Chen said helplessly.
