Chapter 133

The two of them put on the prepared goggles and jumped out of the private booth.

Gunshots rang out from the audience seats, but they had no target. The two of them hid behind the backs of chairs, covering themselves as they descended row by row.

As the smoke cleared, they saw that Shen Yao had already rushed onto the display platform, attempting to lift the glass display case. The display case wasn’t large, about the size of a basketball, but it was connected to the table beneath it, which had been filled with lead by Shan Ming beforehand, making it extremely heavy. Shen Yao struggled to lift it and it was impossible for him to carry it away.

Just as Shen Yao was about to pull out his gun to shoot at the metal clasp securing the glass display case, he felt a gust of wind behind him. Someone had swiftly lunged towards him, but he managed to dodge to the side. The attacker was Zhao Qingling, who drew a military knife and swung it at him.

Shen Yao and Shen Changze didn’t bring weapons with them. They had just arrived in Tunisia that day and didn’t have time to prepare. Furthermore, they had no idea that they would be ambushed.

Shan Ming used the back of a chair as makeshift support and propped up his sniper rifle. Through the thin mist, he took aim at Shen Yao, who was engaged in a fight with Zhao Qingling.

Through the scope, he could clearly see Shen Changze on the platform, destroying the glass display case. He clenched his teeth, too preoccupied to ponder why Shen Changze was there and why it seemed like there was no hostility between him and Shen Yao anymore. Right now, all he wanted was to eliminate Shen Yao as quickly as possible.

Shan Ming aimed at Shen Yao’s constantly moving body, attempting to hit him without harming Zhao Qingling. It was truly a highly challenging sniping task.

Shan Ming pursed his lips, gripping his gun tightly as he ran towards the platform.

“Qingling!” he heard Shen Yao shout out loudly.

Shen Changze gave Shan Ming a cold glance, then lifted the glass display case that had been separated from the table and ran towards the safety exit.

“Changze!” Shan Ming shouted, and he sprinted after him.

Behind the emergency exit was a long corridor that was dimly lit. Shan Ming could only make out Shen Changze running ahead with the display case, moving at a rapid pace. He could only steel himself and continue to follow closely behind.

Could it be that Shen Changze was also after the Sea Dragon’s Horn? What did he plan to do with it? Had he completely aligned himself with his biological father?

A string of question marks surged in Shan Ming’s mind, and Shen Changze’s cold and indifferent gaze sent shivers down his spine.

After rushing out of the exit, Shan Ming found that Shen Changze was nowhere to be seen. He looked around, scanning left and right. How could someone disappear so quickly?

Suddenly, Shan Ming sensed that he was being watched. Before he could look up, a person had already leaped down from the second floor. Without hesitation, Shan Ming drew his military knife and swung it upward. However, his hand was caught mid-air, and a sharp pain shot through his wrist. The knife slipped from his grasp and clattered to the ground.

Shen Changze threw the display case onto the ground, freeing one hand. He then grabbed Shan Ming by the neck, his asked with a cold voice, “What are you doing here?”

Shan Ming stared straight at him and replied, “I’m here to bring you back.”

“Bring me back?” Shen Changze revealed a mocking expression. He narrowed his eyes and leaned closer to Shan Ming’s face, his voice chilling. “If I recall correctly, it was you who shot me from behind and sent me away with your own hands. And now, you want to bring me back?”

Shen Changze unconsciously tightened his hand around Shan Ming’s neck, causing Shan Ming’s face to immediately turn green. The air in his throat was quickly cut off, rendering him unable to make any sound.

He grabbed Shen Changze’s hand and forcefully pried open one of his fingers. “Changze…”

Shen Changze’s eyes turned bloodshot, filled with resentment and madness. “What right do you have to bring me back? I flatter you like a dog, leaving my back to you, and you? What did you do? I really want to strangle you to death!”

Shan Ming released his grip. He wanted to see if Shen Changze would actually strangle him to death.

In the next moment, Shen Changze threw him to the ground. Shan Ming coughed and struggled to stand back up. “Changze, can we discuss this after we go back… time is running out. Come with me.”

The response Shen Changze gave him was to lift his toes and hit the back of Shan Ming’s neck. Shan Ming’s vision went dark, and he fainted.

When Shan Ming regained consciousness, he found himself in a swaying vehicle. His hands and feet were bound, unable to move.

Shan Ming cursed inwardly. He failed the rescue and even ended up getting himself kidnapped. He tried to speak but realized his mouth was gagged. The backseat was too narrow, leaving him with no room to move. If he accidentally fell from the seat, getting wedged between the seats would only be even more uncomfortable. He managed to lift his head slightly and glanced around. Shen Changze was driving, and they were the only two people in the car. Shan Ming decided to continue pretending to be unconscious. He wanted to see where Shen Changze was taking him.

On one hand, Shan Ming was troubled by his complicated relationship with Shen Changze. On the other hand, he also worried about what would happen to Zhao Qingling, who was still at the auction house, standing against Shen Yao. No matter how much of a bastard Shen Yao was, at least he wouldn’t kill his own wife, right? Have Tang Tingzhi and the others arrived yet? Shan Ming had no clue about the current situation, he felt completely uncertain.

He closed his eyes and tried to retrieve a small blade fragment from his sleeve, only to realize that it was long gone. Shen Changze knew him too well.

Over an hour later, the car came to a halt. Shen Changze, with one hand holding the glass display case and the other hand carrying Shan Ming, entered the elevator in the underground parking garage.

Shan Ming quietly opened his eyes and looked around. The surroundings appeared desolate, with very few people in sight. Where was this?

Soon, the elevator reached the eighth floor. As the elevator doors opened, Shan Ming instantly realized that they were in a hotel the moment he saw the corridor and all the doors ahead.

Shen Changze opened the hotel room door and tossed Shan Ming onto the bed. Then, he carried the glass display case and placed it on the table, studying how to open it.

The display case was about the size of a basketball and had a square shape. It was made of bulletproof glass that was five centimeters thick. During the casting process, except for the top cover, it was formed as a single unit, without any seams. It could only be opened by fingerprint recognition. Due to its thickness, brute force alone wouldn’t be enough to break it; specialized tools would be required. Merely relying on guns wouldn’t work.

After realizing that he couldn’t open the display case for the moment, Shen Changze gave up and shifted his gaze toward Shan Ming. He stood up and slowly walked step by step towards Shan Ming.

Shan Ming could feel the side of the mattress sinking, followed by Shen Changze grabbing hold of his collar. “How long do you intend to keep pretending?”

Shan Ming opened his eyes and frowned. “Why did you bring me here? What are you actually thinking?”

Shen Changze’s slender fingers caressed his chin as his gaze swept over every inch of Shan Ming’s skin. Then, with a tug on Shan Ming’s collar, he ripped open his clothes. Shen Changze leaned down and licked Shan Ming’s chin, he said with a hoarse voice, “To fuck you.”
