Chen Hao
Chapter 18 Mutation!
Li Tianran looked at the withered vegetation on both sides of the road. Five days after the radiation, the toxins hidden in the plants had completely erupted.
Looking around, the fields on both sides of the road were filled with a withered, deathly silence.
"Boss Li, will Hanhan be okay alone at home? The world is so chaotic now, I'm afraid if bad people target the farm, Hanhan will be in danger." Xiao Tian sat in the passenger seat, his face worried. "Boss Li, didn't you leave Hanhan any self-defense tools?"
Li Tianran smiled.
Danger?
Now, the entire Nancheng was no safer than the farm!
If someone could forcibly break into the farm and attack Hanhan, the armed forces they possessed would probably be enough to directly break through the Nancheng Armed Police Brigade!
However, Li Tianran couldn't tell Xiao Tian this. He just said with a smile, "My small, broken farm doesn't have any gold or silver, who would want it? Besides, Hanhan is only seven years old, she wouldn't even know how to use self-defense weapons! And... there's Xiao Hei on the farm, no one can break in, don't worry!"
"Hehe... then I can rest assured." Xiao Tian nodded with a smile, then lowered his head and stopped talking, taking out his phone to send a text message.
Li Tianran glanced at him curiously.
Xiao Tian seemed to notice Li Tianran's gaze, and quickly stuffed his phone into his pocket, laughing: "I'm afraid I don't have enough money, so I'm borrowing some from a friend."
Li Tianran was silent for a moment, then took out five hundred-yuan bills from his wallet and handed them over: "I don't have much money here either, this... take it!"
Xiao Tian looked at Li Tianran's actions, seemingly extremely surprised. He was stunned for a full seven or eight seconds before quickly waving his hand and saying, "No, no, no! Boss Li, you've already helped my family a lot, how can I take your money?"
"Take it!" Li Tianran didn't wait for Xiao Tian to refuse, and directly stuffed the money into Xiao Tian's hand.
Now, money was useless to Li Tianran.
"This..." Xiao Tian looked at the banknotes in his hand with a complicated expression. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Boss Li, I will definitely repay your kindness in the future!"
"Pa pa!" Li Tianran didn't speak, just reached out and patted Xiao Tian's shoulder.
The country road was rugged and difficult to navigate. Li Tianran drove the truck along the route indicated by the navigation. At a fork in the road, just as he was about to turn the steering wheel to enter the road indicated by the navigation, Xiao Tian suddenly showed a determined look on his face, reached out and held the steering wheel, as if he had made an extremely difficult decision, and said: "Boss Li, the road on the right seems to be closed. Let's detour from the left!"
Li Tianran raised his eyebrows.
The road on the right was the main road of the township. Generally speaking, unless there was a major natural disaster such as an earthquake or landslide, it would never be closed. But why did Xiao Tian say it was closed now?
Li Tianran's gaze fell on Xiao Tian's face.
Without him realizing it, Xiao Tian's face had turned pale, completely devoid of color.
In such cold weather, a layer of fine sweat was actually appearing on his forehead!
At first glance, it looked like he had some kind of acute illness!
Li Tianran was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized something was wrong. He asked in a deep voice, "Xiao Tian! I often drive this road, I haven't received any notice of a road closure. How did you know? What exactly is wrong with you?"
"It... it was a friend who told me..." Xiao Tian stammered.
"Which friend?" Li Tianran slammed on the brakes. He sensed that this matter seemed to reveal a strange air. He suddenly grabbed Xiao Tian's wrist tightly and asked in a cold voice, "Call him, I want to listen!"
"Boss Li, don't ask! I won't harm you!" Xiao Tian heard this, and the expression on his face seemed to be making some kind of decision. Even his voice became rapid, even with a hint of pleading. He pointed to the fork in the road on the left and said, "Boss Li, turn around now, it will be too late!"
"..." Li Tianran stared at Xiao Tian intently, as if trying to find a loophole in his eyes, but unfortunately, he failed.
"Shua!" Li Tianran turned his head, directly turned the steering wheel, and roared toward the fork in the road on the left!
At the same time.
On the main road of the township to the right, three hundred meters away from the fork in the road, a Mercedes-Benz SUV was stopped.
A cold man in a black suit was sitting in the passenger seat. In the car, there were also three men dressed the same as him, all tall and muscular, full of sturdy temperament.
The cold man in the black suit was holding a tablet computer in his hand. The screen showed a small red dot that was gradually approaching their location.
Suddenly, the red dot paused for a moment, and then quickly left its original track, turning to a fork in the road that was destined to not meet them!
"Damn it! Something really happened!" The cold man cursed, "This little bastard dares to go back on his word!"
Whirr!
The other three men's expressions changed simultaneously. Amidst the cursing, they revealed the bright daggers at their waists!
"Hmph, luckily I was prepared!" The cold man expressionlessly adjusted his headset and said sternly, "The target is going to your place, remember, you must stop them! Director Liang said, he wants them alive!"
Soon, a reply came from the headset: "Understood!"
Pa!
The cold man tore off the headset, then turned to the man in the driver's seat and said, "Turn around and block him! Flank them with the people from Team Two, I want to see if they can sprout wings and fly away today!"
...
Buzz!
The 1.4-liter truck engine made an overwhelming roar. Li Tianran almost floored the accelerator, and the blue smoke from the tires rubbing violently against the ground floated in through the windows.
"What exactly is going on? Tell me!" Li Tianran's face was gloomy. He glanced at the rearview mirror and suddenly found that less than three hundred meters behind the truck, an SUV was chasing after them like a wild horse!
He was furious at this time.
He seemed to have inexplicably fallen into a vortex, and was inexplicably being targeted!
Who were they?
Military police?
No! Impossible!
If it were the military police, they wouldn't use this method. They could directly go to the farm and use formal means to take Li Tianran away.
Were they friends of Sun Dayou and Zhong Ling?
It was also unlikely. Sun Dayou was just a vice president of a small company, and his annual income was at most a few hundred thousand.
And the price of the Mercedes-Benz SUV that was chasing them at this time was at least three million or more.
If Sun Dayou really had friends of this caliber, why would he set his sights on his farm?
"Boss Li, I... I'm sorry! I betrayed you! There are surveillance cameras near my house. I checked the surveillance and knew that it was you who saved me that night! I was blinded by greed. I heard that Tianrun Pharmaceutical Company has been looking for medicine that can cure acute poisoning, so I contacted them..." Xiao Tian was convulsing at this time, crying, "I have no choice, I have no money and no food. If this continues, I will starve to death. I am also trying to survive! They promised me a lot of money..."
"..." Li Tianran's eyebrows twitched wildly. He was furious, but now was not the time to get angry, so he asked, "What is their plan?"
"They asked me to lure you out of the farm," Xiao Tian trembled, "They know you have medicine to treat poisoning, so they want to take Hanhan away while you are gone and force you to submit!"
Li Tianran was stunned, and then his face turned terrifyingly gloomy. He turned to look at Xiao Tian: "So... the things you asked me just now were to test me? Were they to ask those people if there were any defenses on the farm? You were also informing the other party when you were playing with your phone just now?"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Xiao Tian covered his face and cried helplessly.
"I'll fuck your mother!" Li Tianran squeezed out a curse filled with extreme anger from between his teeth: "If anything happens to Hanhan, I'll make all of your families be buried with her!"
