Chapter 55

In mid-June, the weather became hotter and hotter, and the asphalt road seemed to be distorted by waves of heat.

"Country M is quite chaotic. You should be more careful when you arrive at your destination. I hope that there will be no mistakes in goods or people."

Gu Yi took the box of goods from Lei Shao's subordinates, and said on behalf of the members of LA, "Don't worry, sir."

Lei Shao nodded, looked at the people in LA and bowed slightly, and then left Lei's house with the box.

The boxes contained loose diamonds worth billions.

Tomorrow these people will take his private jet to country M and hand it over to a wealthy local businessman.

The task is very simple, but because country M is in the midst of war and chaos everywhere, and the value of this batch of goods is very high, it is reasonable for Lei Shao to choose to have people from LA escort them.

But in fact, micro-bombs controlled by computer programs have long been installed on private planes. When the plane passes Marodan Bay or Songhai, Zhuang Shi will choose an appropriate time to detonate it.

At that time, except for Shiliu, everyone in LA will completely disappear from this world.

As for Shiliu, he had a sudden acute gastroenteritis in the past two days and was resting in bed, unable to make the trip. Lei Shao could only find another way to get rid of him.

After everyone in LA left, Lei Shao lowered his eyes, pressing all the obscure and heavy emotions into the bottom of his eyes, and then said to Mu Zixing standing next to him with his usual expression, "Take someone to watch Shen's house these few days, come on I suspect that their family was responsible for the shipment of drugs on the freighter."

Mu Zixing was taken aback, and asked, "The Shen family? Are they with Ji Haodong..."

"The possibility of collusion between the two cannot be ruled out," Lei Shao rubbed Mu Zixing's hair, "so you have to keep an eye on it, but you have to pay attention to your own safety."

When Mu Zixing heard that he raised his head and kissed the corner of Lei Shao's lips, he took the order and left with some embarrassment.

The next day, Lei Shao locked himself in the study all the time.

Although he has already decided to take this step, in fact he is still very entangled in his heart.

The six people in LA plus the captain and flight attendants, dozens of lives will disappear in his hands.

Lei Shao has always hated this style of doing things that do whatever it takes to achieve their goals and take human life seriously.

He was even very disappointed with Mu Zixing because of this.

He was born in Rongxing, a filthy, dark and bloody group, but he never hurt innocent people.

Now he wants to be an executioner.

To kill or not to kill, the two thoughts collided in his mind, and he had a splitting headache. Lei Shao unbuttoned a few shirt buttons, propped his forehead, and smoked one after another.

"Sir, the people from LA are leaving."

When Zhuang Shi's voice came out from the phone, Lei Shao stopped smoking, and half of the ash fell on his clothes. He was silent for a long time before humming in a hoarse voice.

"They will arrive in Songhai in about three hours," Zhuang Shi said.

"Wait for my news," Lei Shao bit his cigarette and paused, "Don't do anything without my order."

What followed was a long wait, as if every minute and every second was a torment. After making the decision to get rid of LA, for so long, he thought he could be at peace.

But at the last moment, Lei Shao's heart wavered more and more. Ji Baichuan kept saying that he was not suitable to be the person in charge of Rongxing when he was alive.

As a leader, he is not ruthless enough. If there is no one in the Lei family, he will definitely not support Lei Shao to the top.

Lei Shao closed his eyes, he was physically and mentally exhausted from the torture of morality.

But when the plan he thought was foolproof, he was even more afraid that after he did it, Mu Zixing would know the truth in the future.

If Mu Zixing found out that those people died because of him, would he still be able to live with peace of mind?

"Sir, the plane has arrived at Marodan Bay." Zhuang Shi's voice sounded again in the empty study.

Lei Shao opened his eyes, leaned back in his chair and stared at a certain point in the air for a long time, then said, "Wait a minute."

Many things that were originally entangled in his heart became more and more hesitant when he came to the door. Seeing the time passing by, Lei Shao pinched his brows fiercely, and then called out, "Zhuang Shi."

"Sir." Zhuang Shi responded.

Lei Shao, "Where are you?"

Zhuang Shi, "We're almost out of Maluodan Bay."

"Turn off the detonation procedure of the bomb, and I will find another way." Lei Shao said.

Zhuang Shi didn't ask Lei Shao why he gave up at the last moment, but said after two seconds, "Sir, it's already turned off, the bomb won't be triggered, and they will arrive safely."

Lei Shao hummed a little tiredly.

He stood up, flicked off the ash stained on his body, then wrapped a pile of cigarette butts in paper towels and threw them into the trash can, then went to the bathroom to wash his face.

In just a few hours, his expression became a little haggard, and a few stubbles appeared sporadically on his chin.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Lei Shao exhaled slowly, and then called Mu Zixing.

He suddenly longed to see Mu Zixing.

After telling Mu Zixing to go home now, Lei Shao took off his clothes and stood under the shower.

When cold water poured down on the head and flowed over the shoulder blades, all the chaotic and complicated emotions finally calmed down... Suddenly the mobile phone placed on the washstand vibrated.

Lei Shao turned off the shower, pulled a towel around his waist, and then walked over to pick up the phone. The caller displayed on the screen was Zhuang Shi.

"Sir," Zhuang Shi's voice was full of panic that could be felt even through the phone, "something happened, the plane they were flying in LA exploded!"

Lei Shao's pupils shrank suddenly, and he said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

Zhuang Shi said in an unsteady tone, "I'm sure I turned off the trigger program for the bomb, but after entering country M, the plane suddenly exploded and crashed."

Lei Shao's face turned extremely ugly in an instant, "Where is the person? How is the person?"

"I don't know, the current situation is unclear."

"Investigate immediately," Lei Shao said with a sullen face, and took the shortest time to adjust his emotions, "Also, according to my previous explanation, the truth of this matter is rotten in my stomach, so I can't tell Mu Zixing."

After hanging up the phone, Lei Shao hurriedly changed his clothes, then turned around and went out, but met Mu Zixing who came back in the yard.

"Sir," Mu Zixing walked over happily carrying a beautifully packaged paper box, "Lan Jing said that the chestnut-flavored cakes in this store are delicious, and I bought one for my husband when I came."

Lei Shao smiled and took the cake, then took Mu Zixing's hand and led him into the bedroom, closing the door behind his back.

"Mu Zixing..." Lei Shao sat on the edge of the bed, looked up at the young man standing in front of him, and announced the cruel truth softly, "...I just got the news, The plane flying to country M crashed unexpectedly, and the lives and deaths of people in LA are now unknown."

Mu Zixing was stunned, the blood on his face faded instantly, he stared at Lei Shao in a daze, and asked with trembling lips after a long time, "What...what..."
