The screen flashed, and Chen Duo's youthful and beautiful face appeared on the screen.

She was lying on the sofa, her chin resting on a soft cushion, wearing a cartoon pajama.

The green doll was squeezed under her arm, with only a comical frog head showing.

"Master."

Chen Duo's voice was soft and sweet, as if she was about to fall asleep.

"Not asleep yet?"

Zhang Tianyi looked at the wide road ahead, and his tone unconsciously softened.

"It's almost midnight. Didn't I tell you and Linglong to get some rest?"

"Linglong went to take a shower."

Chen Duo blinked and moved her phone closer to herself, leaving only her bright, large eyes in the frame.

"I can't sleep. Master, have you finished your meal? When will you get home?"

"Almost there, we're already on the elevated road. We'll be there in another half hour."

Zhang Tianyi slowed down a bit to make the car drive more smoothly.

"What's wrong? Are you scared being home alone?"

"No."

Chen Duo shook her head, her fingers unconsciously picking at the edge of the cushion.

"Just asking."

"There's some mung bean and lily soup in the kitchen that you like. I just checked, and it's still warming up in the thermos. If you're hungry when you get back, you can have a bowl."

Hearing this, Zhang Tianyi tapped his fingers lightly on the steering wheel, a feeling of indescribable comfort rising in his heart.

This feeling of reassurance when you come home and someone has left you a bowl of hot soup.

Not bad at all.

"Okay, got it."

Zhang Tianyi smiled and asked, "What did you do at home today? Did you beat that game?"

"not yet."

Chen Duo's tone carried a rare hint of frustration:

"That boss is too hard. Linglong and I have tried five times and still can't beat it. Can you help me fight it tomorrow when you come back?"

"No problem. Tomorrow, your master will show you what advanced techniques are."

Zhang Tianyi continued the conversation, making small talk about trivial matters.

The night was deep, and Chen Duo's calm narration echoed in the carriage, making everything seem so peaceful and serene.

however.

Just as Zhang Tianyi's car was about to drive off the overpass and turn onto the wide provincial highway leading to Xishan.

"??!!"

Boom!!!

Several deafening explosions suddenly rang out!

The sound was so loud that even the heavy car body trembled slightly in the roar.

Zhang Tianyi instinctively applied the brakes, and the car's speed instantly decreased.

"Master? What's wrong? What was that loud noise?"

Chen Duo was also startled by the sudden loud noise. She sat up straight and asked nervously while holding the doll.

Zhang Tianyi did not answer immediately.

His gaze pierced through the windshield, fixed on the night sky to his right.

Under that originally pitch-black night sky.

A blinding orange-red fireball was rolling and shooting into the sky at a terrifying speed!

The firelight tore through the darkness, illuminating half the sky as brightly as day.

Immediately afterwards, a thick column of black smoke, like a giant poisonous dragon, twisted and rose violently in the firelight.

direction.

It's probably in an industrial area on the outskirts of the city, about ten kilometers away.

Judging from the height of the flames and the magnitude of the explosion, this was definitely not an ordinary fire.

It was more like a large chemical plant that had experienced a series of severe explosions!

"It's alright, girl."

Zhang Tianyi stared at the night sky dyed red by the firelight, and the nonchalant look on his face slowly faded.

"It looks like a factory in the distance has exploded."

He kept his tone calm and offered a reassuring remark.

"Then drive carefully on the road and come back early," Chen Duo instructed on the other end of the phone.

"Okay, I'll be right back."

Zhang Tianyi hung up the video call.

The carriage returned to silence.

Zhang Tianyi lowered the car window slightly, and a night breeze carrying a faint smell of burning and a pungent chemical odor instantly rushed in.

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

The net of the heart is open!!

On a level of perception that is imperceptible to ordinary people.

At the heart of that towering flame.

An unusually large flow of Qi was surging and dissipating wildly in all directions amidst the shockwave of the explosion.

This was definitely not an accidental production incident.

Someone made a move there.

Moreover, the commotion was quite loud!

Chapter 239 Going to join the fun? A bizarre inferno in a chemical plant!

The Bugatti slowly pulled up to a stop at the roadside under the empty elevated highway.

Zhang Tianyi gripped the steering wheel, his fingers tapping idly on the leather cover.

The flames in the distance continued to grow.

The pitch-black night sky was ablaze with red, and the sounds of sirens and fire trucks could be faintly heard from all directions.

It sounded particularly jarring in the quiet night.

Normally, Zhang Tianyi wouldn't even bother to glance at such worldly incidents, or even private battles between extraordinary individuals.

In the middle of the night, wouldn't it be nice to go back, have a hot soup, and lie down in a comfortable bed to sleep?

But something seems off about today's situation.

The energy fluctuations that spread out with the explosion were extremely chaotic.

Moreover, Zhang Tianyi's intuition told him that this chaotic Qi seemed to contain a familiar scent.

"These foreigners just checked into a hotel, and then a chemical plant was blown up in the suburbs?"

Zhang Tianyi rolled down all the car windows, letting the night wind, carrying the smell of burning, blow in.

He touched his chin, his expression a half-smile.

"No matter how you look at it, this doesn't seem like a coincidence."

If it really was those so-called "international friends" who stirred things up, then they've gone way too far with their audacity.

In the capital of China, how could a targeted blast be carried out right under the nose of Naotong?

They're treating this land like their own backyard.

"never mind."

Zhang Tianyi snapped his fingers and shifted gears again.

"I won't be able to sleep soundly even if I go back to sleep, so I might as well go and join in the fun, just as a way to digest after dinner."

With a deep roar from the engine, the Bugatti swerved sharply at the intersection, its tires screeching against the road.

The car turned around, abandoning the route back to Xishan Manor.

It transformed into a black lightning bolt and sped towards the blazing suburbs.

……

Fifteen minutes later.

Two kilometers outside the Hongtai Chemical Plant on the outskirts of Beijing.

The roads here have been completely blocked off.

More than a dozen police cars and fire trucks with flashing lights were blocking the middle of the road.

The cordon was stretched out for a long time, and fully armed special police were dispersing the scattered onlookers and workers from nearby factories.

"Back off immediately! There's a risk of a secondary explosion inside! All unauthorized personnel must evacuate immediately!"

A police officer with a megaphone stood in front of the cordon, his voice almost hoarse from shouting.

Outside the cordon, there was an inconspicuous black van.

The lights in the carriage were off, with only the screens of a few sophisticated instruments flashing a faint green light.
