Playtime's Over, CEO: She's Really Done With You-Chapter 497: Bring His Wife and Daughter Home
"Brother, why are you here?" June was the first to notice Silas.
Then the others also came forward.
"Brother, how is your injury?" Orion asked worriedly.
Everyone else looked at him.
"It’s nothing serious." Silas didn’t tell the truth.
His vision was spinning with dizziness.
The physical pain was almost destroying his rationality.
He had faced such a situation at sea before.
But it had been so long since he had felt this kind of pain.
Now, he had only one thought in mind. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
To bring her back.
To bring his wife and daughter home!
"How can it be nothing serious?"
Bianca and Ethan, being doctors, could clearly see the truth.
But Silas just gave the siblings a deep look.
"I want to go in," Silas said.
On the way here, he had driven at full speed.
Every minute and second she spent in the factory was a deadly torment for him.
If between him and her, someone must endure all this, then he hoped it would be him.
"Brother..."
June wanted to say something more, but Silas had already pushed her hand aside and walked resolutely toward that direction.
The wound on his chest had only undergone simple bleeding control, and after his long journey, it was bleeding again.
Chloe looked at him disapprovingly.
But Silas just waved his hand.
Tonight, only one person would die here, and that person was Preston Langley.
Silas quickly walked inside, feeling the bulge in his pocket.
This was his only support.
He had to save her, he must!
The wound was tearing with pain, the blood dripped steadily, and Silas moved quickly, approaching the factory rapidly. As he saw the entrance getting closer, at that moment—
"Boom!"
A huge explosion sounded.
The abandoned factory in front suddenly exploded.
Silas watched this scene in disbelief.
"Serena!" Silas shouted out in dismay.
Not far away, Bianca’s heart-wrenching scream also rang out.
Silas, being close, immediately rushed into the sea of fire.
The police also acted simultaneously, following behind Silas as they charged inside.
The door had been twisted by the blast wave, and Silas squeezed inside with difficulty.
Inside, it was a scene of raging fire.
What exactly happened?
"Serena, we just got married, you can’t be in danger..."
"Boom!"
Another blast wave hit, and Silas temporarily dodged, looking back to see that the gap he had entered through was completely twisted.
Outside, there was a sound of thumping, clearly the police coming in.
Silas clenched his fists, quickly identifying the direction, and explored further inside.
...
A few minutes ago.
Vera looked at Serena with full malice, uttering her final demand.
"Strip her!" Vera’s eyes were filled with disgust toward Serena, "Didn’t you say to livestream it? I want her to appear naked in front of everyone, so even if she leaves here, she would have no face to live! I...um..."
Julian had already tried to stop Vera when he realized her intention, but Vera anticipated it and forcefully struck Julian’s injured arm, causing him to react a step slower and only cover the latter part of her words.
"Don’t cover her mouth!" Preston Langley immediately ordered.
"Bang!" Another gunshot was heard.
This time, Preston Langley didn’t aim at Serena but shot a warning casually.
"I don’t allow this demand!" Julian said through gritted teeth, covering Vera’s mouth tightly, his face grim, "I demand an exchange, Preston Langley, if you dare harm Serena again, I will not show mercy!"
Preston Langley’s gun was reloaded once more, aimed again at Seraphina.
But he didn’t act.
He knew Julian was serious.
Actually, before Julian arrived, he could have humiliated Serena like that.
He didn’t do it because he understood that if he truly left Serena with no way to live, Julian would definitely kill Vera.
He knew, Serena didn’t care about her own life or death; she was threatened because of Seraphina.
And Julian was a lunatic, what he wanted was Serena.
This formed a chain, each link indispensable.
He could beat and abuse Serena to vent Vera’s anger but couldn’t truly extinguish her hope for survival.
At least not until they left the country.
Once they were out of the country, they could naturally do as they pleased.
On the other side, Julian was also firmly locking his gaze onto Preston Langley.
As soon as Preston Langley took any action, he would strike immediately.
Then, it would be a battle to the death.
It was just about who moved faster.
Neither side moved.
Serena used all her strength to crawl toward Seraphina.
Her leg had been shot and was bleeding, and the pain on her body was terrifying, but she had to crawl to Seraphina’s side.
A strange sound came from somewhere.
It seemed like something was dripping water.
Then—
Everyone raised their heads.
"Boom!"
A gigantic explosion wave hit.
Using her last ounce of strength, Serena threw herself onto Seraphina.
Since arriving here, Preston Langley had fired three bullets, the first was when Serena resisted and he fired randomly.
At that time, he had already shot through the oil barrel but it didn’t ignite, causing oil to start spreading everywhere.
The second shot hit Serena’s leg.
The third was the recent warning shot, which sparked on the ground and ignited the spreading oil.
The fire quickly spread, all the way towards the leaking oil barrel.
Finally, it caused the explosion of the oil barrel.
The blast wave swept through, flames shooting up, immediately surrounding the area, waves of heat rolling.
The livestreaming phones were all shattered and flung by the blast wave, it was unknown where they landed.
In an instant, the viewable window outside went pitch black.
Serena held onto Seraphina.
Seraphina was still crying in her arms, and Serena gently patted Seraphina’s back, soothing, "Don’t be afraid, sweetie, mommy’s here..."
In the midst of the surrounding flames, a woman’s scream and a man’s cursing could be heard.
Serena instinctively glanced over, only to see someone knocked to the ground, then two individuals seemed to be grappling with each other.
"Boom!"
Yet another oil barrel exploded, its blast wave hit, pebbles flew, and Serena saw one flying towards them. She hugged Seraphina tightly once more.
A pebble struck her back, the burning sensation from the flames washed over her, intensely painful.
"Damn it!" That cursing voice belonged to Preston Langley, "Julian, you dare attack me!"
Serena didn’t look back; she reached out to untie the rope binding Seraphina to the pillar.
But her right hand, earlier crushed under Preston Langley’s foot during attack, might have been broken; she couldn’t control her strength now, only smearing blood on the rope without any effect.
Serena immediately bit down.
"Aunt Serena, sob, sob, don’t worry about me, it’s on fire, please run..." Seraphina cried out.
