imaginary lover

"It's still a long time, can Mammy tell you a story to relieve your boredom?" Zhang Yinya sat on the wall and hugged her knees, watching her son twisting in vain.

"Abandoned shadows and hoarding contraband caught fire and exploded, hundreds of guests were killed and injured. Isn't this headline attractive? If the weather conditions permit, maybe you can also enjoy the mushroom cloud?" Zhang Yinya played with her fingers, "It's a pity, because you If you make trouble, the media will lose a full meal.

"This weekend's bilateral trade negotiation reception will be the largest one that Jiying has ever organized. Besides business partners, there will even be high-ranking officials present. Just think about it, so many explosives will be placed in various parts of the mansion. In the corner, how spectacular it would be when they exploded together. But, but, you lost all the explosives. But fortunately, the last one was shipped today, and it is powerful enough.

"Let's talk about the preparations for this time." Zhang Yinya laughed, as if she was just talking about an ordinary outing plan, "First of all, about an hour after May and Zhisheng Li Qiongyu arrived in the study tonight, this meeting will be detonated. Stretching out his finger to the explosive package, the electronic time on it is rapidly decreasing, "The entire secret room will collapse, and there will be a large amount of ammunition in the basement separated by a wall, which will be ignited at that time. After spreading to the mansion, it will be difficult to extinguish it."

"But a fire is much less powerful than an explosion, but it doesn't matter if May escapes by chance, and you are here..."

"Mother thinks too much, Sister May won't make a special trip to save me." Through thought that Zhang Yinya was going to use him as a hostage to take May's life, so she couldn't help laughing. If you take one step, you will probably miscalculate.

But Zhang Yinya continued to say dismissively: "And you are here to die. I will let you die. Your death is more useful than your life.

"Are you surprised? I don't understand why you must die, do you?" Zhang Yinya grabbed Through's hair and forced him to look up, "Don't think I can't do anything to you because I'm your biological mother. Since you don't stand by me On the other hand, what are you doing alive?

"You will be shot by me first, and you will die in this secret room, and the fire will burn everything. Then I will come forward and accuse May of causing this incident, and sue her for killing her half-brother. By then, she must If you can't argue, you will be escorted to trial or even jailed. And all of Qiying's property will fall into my hands. What do you think, my son?"

Through turned his head away from her: "It's crazy."

"Yes, I'm crazy." Zhang Yinya suddenly stood up, "Who is to blame for this?! Xiaoyi has to pay the price, and abandoning shadows has to pay the price!"

She looked at the countdown and took out a gun from behind her.

"The time is just right." Zhang Yinya opened the safety and pointed the muzzle of the black gun at Through, "Son, although you persevere on the way to hinder my plan, at least you can die well today. Finally, say goodbye to Mammy, thank you for your existence, Hiding the truth about Zhang Tao's death for so long."

Through knew he couldn't break free, so he relieved himself, closed his eyes, and waited for a shot to kill him.

He heard a dull sound unexpectedly. Through opened his eyes and saw that his mother had fallen to the ground. Standing behind her was Wang's mother, who was holding on to the flashlight and still kept her striking posture.

"Master! Are you okay?!" Mother Wang hurriedly stepped forward to untie Through, short of breath because of fright, "It's terrible, what happened, Master?"

"Mother Wang, hurry up and tell Sister May not to come back!" Through said eagerly, throwing off the rope, grabbing Mother Wang's sleeve.

"Don't come back? But...Young master came back very early today and found that you have not been in the room. I was a little worried and asked me to look around. I didn't expect you to be tied up here. This secret road has been abandoned for many years and has not been stockpiled. Few people know about this place anymore." Mama Wang helped him up, and the blood flow was not smooth for a long time, which made it difficult for Through to walk. .”

Through nodded, and turned around to check Zhang Yinya's situation out of vigilance, only to find that she had stood up at some point and was silently raising her gun.

"Mother Wang is dangerous!" Through pushed hard, but he was shot in the back and fell to the ground.

"Young Master!" Hearing Mama Wang calling, Through endured the dull pain and got up, waving his hand to signal that it doesn't matter if he missed the key point, "Second Madam! Why did you do this! Young Master is your own flesh and blood!"

Zhang Yinya rubbed the back of her neck that was sore from being smashed: "When is it your turn to tell me what to do with me? Forget it, since you came to the door yourself, you can be buried with him!"

Through saw Wang's mother get up and rush towards Zhang Yinya, and the two wrestled and rolled into a ball.Compared to the older mother Wang, Zhang Yinya clearly had the upper hand. Through struggled to move and wanted to help, but failed in the end.

Mother Wang desperately used brute force to snatch the gun from Zhang Yinya's hand. When Zhang Yinya pulled it back, she missed and fired, and hit the explosive package on her back with one shot.

The package was not big, but when it exploded, Through felt a huge impact, and was overturned and smashed the door in an instant.He supported the door frame to prop up his upper body, and saw that the basement was already a mess filled with smoke and dust, the walls were blown through, and the goods in the other room were burning, gradually forming a continuous flame.

A figure of a person stood up, and the face could not be seen clearly against the backlight. She shook twice and rushed towards Through.

"Young master! Are you okay!" It was Wang's mother.

"I'm fine. Is Mama Wang hurt?"

"Second Madam just blocked the blast wave. I'm fine, but Second Madam is afraid..." Mother Wang picked Through up and ran into the dark secret passage, "Young Master, we have to get out of here as soon as possible."

Under the lighting of the flickering fire, Wang's mother took Through to the wooden ladder and supported him to climb up.

I don't know what ignited again in the basement. The sound of the huge explosion was deafening, and large and small stones were continuously smashed down. Through climbed to the top, pushed hard, and remained motionless.

"Mother Wang, the exit may be blocked!" Through shouted.The tongue of fire in the basement has spread out, licking the secret passage that has been reflected red.

Through stepped back, seeing Mama Wang's sad face, and thought that she might be trapped here and couldn't get out.

"Come with me, young master." Mother Wang helped Through to walk around the wooden ladder, and fumbled to lift a layer of wooden boards at the end of the wall, revealing a secret door half a person's height.

Mama Wang let Through climb in first, and she followed behind and closed the door, temporarily isolating the scorching heat and fierce flames.

"Mother Wang, where does this road lead to?" Through asked, the sound bounced back in the passage, forming an empty echo.The blood on his back was sticky, and every step he climbed was painful.

"This is the air vent in the basement, and the other end is near the gate of the abandoned shadow mansion." Mama Wang said, with the sound of burning tigers getting closer behind her. Find a safe place and wait for someone to save it, don’t get close to the mansion, it’s probably burning and chaotic, it’s too dangerous.”

"But Sister May is still here..."

"Don't worry, young master. The explosion happened in the basement, some distance away from the study on the second floor. You will be fine."

"Where's Mama Wang? Won't you come with me?" Through asked.

Mama Wang didn't answer, but just urged Through to hurry up, the tongue of fire was about to burn.

When he groped for the exit, Through's heart sank for the most part.

"Mother Wang! Why didn't you tell me that the exit is only so small?!" Through questioned, and Mother Wang just smiled lovingly.

"Let's go, young master, you have to live well." The vent was narrow enough for an adult to pass through. Mama Wang pushed Through out of the hole, and was immediately buried by the collapsed rubble into the scalding passage.

Through stood desperately at the gate, looking at the cracked hole and the raging flames of the mansion in the distance. Many people were running, shouting, and busy.

"Who will... save Mama Wang... who will..." Through knew that Mama Wang, who was caught in the flames, would not be able to come back to life, but unwilling to do so, he stumbled out of the gate to intercept passers-by begging for help.

The snow that fell at an unknown time made the air dry and cold. Through trembled involuntarily and walked along the road. There was no one around, and the corners of his mouth trembled, tears streaming down his face.

Perhaps after walking for a long time, Through stepped on the snow with bare feet, already frozen unconscious.He stretched out his hand to block the wound on his back, and the blood couldn't stop, dripping slowly.The sound of vehicles was faintly heard in the distance, and he raised his head to see two lights shooting straight through the cold.

He was about to stop the car and blocked it in the middle of the road, but he was so cold that he was in a daze, and fell headlong under the sound of sudden braking, unconscious.
