However, how could Zhou Jingren allow them to get out of the cell that they were hiding? The loud sound of a heavy metal hitting the concrete floor interrupted them. Slowly their eyes widened, mouths turned agape at the grenade on the floor.
*BOOM*
The loud explosion made the walls of the underground facility tremble, slowly the walls started shaking, big pieces of debris started falling.
"It's going to collapse!" Secretary Go's voice echoed. "Let's go."
The others didn't wait for Zhou Jingren's orders as they started running towards the exit. Their footsteps
"Mudak! I won't let you get away with this!" They heard someone shout. Zhou Jingren and Secretary Go immediately turned their heads towards the ruined prison cell where Kuznetsov and his men were located. When they saw Kuznetsov stood, their faces turned grim. How could he survive a grenade? Unless… Zhou Jingren didn't have the time to think about it.
"Jichen… take everyone out!" He instructed, determination flashing in his eyes before he ran towards the six-foot-five giant a few feet away from him. "Bastard! Die!" Despite the shaking of the floor, Zhou Jingren was still able to reach the man in a matter of seconds. He let out a kick that was easily avoided by Kuznetsov. The onslaught that followed was expected. Fist against fist, kick against kick, the two fought like madmen, both enraged, both thirsty for more blood.
"Fuck!" A gush of blood came rushing out of Kuznetsov's arms. "Sneaky bastard!" He eyed the card-like weapon in Zhou Jingren's arms. He might be old but Kuznetsov was senile enough to know that the cards were poisoned. Narrowing his eyes at his younger opponent, Kuznetsov let out another swear. If he was at his prime, he could easily defeat Zhou Jingren's agile movements.
But that Is not the case now. He was in his sixties. The only thing that he relied on was his military training and a sturdy body. His movements were long hindered by his age. He tried to stop the bleeding using his hand as he let out another curse. Is this man really going to end him?
For a few seconds, both of them were silent, their eyes
"Does it matter?" Zhou Jingren responded. "Why are you asking questions when you are about to die anyway?"
"Die?" He snorted and showed Zhou Jingren a remote in his hand. "If I die… you die with me." Slowly, he started chuckling before it turned into a burst of full-blown laughter, so sinister and ominous, Zhou Jingren could feel the chill running down his spine. "You and I will die today! Isn't that amusing?"
Zhou Jingren's eyes darted towards the rectangular remote in Kuznetsov's hands, his face showed no emotions. "Is that a bomb that will make the whole house explode?" He asked.
"Are you worried that Lily will die too?" Kuznetsov let out another laugh. "Yes… this is indeed a bomb designed to ruin the whole property. Hmph! Why do you think I would choose to build a fortress in the middle of nowhere? Isn't that to guard my secrets?"
"You talk too much!"
"Why not talk? No matter what happens… you and that Lily will die. I mean… who knows really. I believe Victor already took care of her. With her death, the files will be lost forever." Since he didn't get the file, why would he let the order get it? That would only waste his efforts to obtain the file for himself!
"Fool!" Zhou Jingren said. "I already gave the file to the Order!"
"You what?"
"You heard me." He smiled, showing his bloodied teeth at the old man.
"You— No… you must be bluffing. There is no way that…" He didn't continue his words. His eyes widened as his mouth fell on the floor. He stared at the man who just finished removing the prosthetics in his face. "You— " No wonder, he didn't see his face bleed! Zhou Jingren is actually wearing thick prosthetics to change his appearance. "You are… " He felt his heart trembled. "You are Zhou Jingren! You— You are not dead!"
"Who told you that I died?" A smirk crossed Zhou Jingren's lips.
"You— " Kuznetsov gulped as he took a step back. He then held the rectangular remote in front of him. "Don't come close! I will blow this house… I will… everything! I will blow everything!"
"Stupid!" Zhou Jingren hissed. "Everything was planned, you fool." Zhou Jingren's eyes quickly roamed towards the ruined place. The shaking had now stopped. Because of this, he can now clearly see the previous cell that Kuznetsov occupied earlier. And just as he expected, Kuznetsov really used his men to shield him from the grenade. He must have pushed one of them to cover the grenade with his body. No... There are two people on the floor aside from the wounded ones that are now unconscious or perhaps dead.
Who cares.
His gaze went back to the older man in front of him.
"I told you! Stay away from me!"
"Why are you so scared, old man?" Zhou Jingren asked. "Is it because… you realized that we already planned everything?"
"No way! There's no way that…" He didn't complete his words as he pressed the red button on the remote.
*CLICK*
*CLICK*
*CLICK*
*CLICK*
*CLICK*
*CLICK*
"AHHHHH!" Kuznetsov yelled when he realized that the remote is not working. Taking another step back, the old man fell on the floor with a loud thud. "You fuck— "
*CLICK*
*CLICK*
"Give up already." Zhou Jingren said. "We have the best hacker in the world. There is no way that he didn't notice the existence of a bomb in this place." A victorious smirk was plastered on his lips. However, Zhou Jingren didn't notice the old man's hand was now holding a gun from the floor. When Zhou Jingren saw this, he immediately threw one of the cards towards him. But it was too late.
*BANG*
Kuznetsov pulled the trigger.
