"What do you mean?!" Charles Yin's face turned extremely grim.
"God..." Earl Field's red pupils suddenly widened, and his entire demeanor seemed to turn manic.
Charles Yin was worried about Cici in the operating room. No matter what happened today, even if he died here, he wouldn't let anyone interfere with Cici's surgery!
"Speak plainly!" Charles Yin bellowed, his teeth clenched in anger.
Charles Yin's bodyguards had already formed a circle, surrounding Earl Field and his men. At Charles's command, bullets would rain down without mercy, turning Earl Field into a sieve!
Earl Field immediately froze, but the infuriating smirk on his face made people want to beat him to a pulp!
"Just got word: a magnitude nine earthquake will hit the deep sea area a hundred nautical miles from here in five hours," Earl Field said slowly. "If we leave now, we still have time! If we wait five hours, the earthquake will trigger a tsunami of magnitude ten or higher! Osaka will be doomed!"
What?!
Everyone present was stunned and turned to look at Charles Yin.
Charles Yin was completely blindsided by this turn of events!
"Can we put the guns down now? I've told you everything I know! The Japanese authorities haven't heard about this yet. Isn't this news shocking enough?" Earl Field kept that annoying look as he glanced at Charles Yin. "The surgery inside is at a critical stage. If we move now, it'll fail! But if we don't, in five hours, when the earthquake hits, the tsunami will follow..."
Charles Yin felt a bead of sweat form on the tip of his nose.
What now?
Cici absolutely can't be harmed!
The surgery must not be interrupted!
For Cici... even if it meant risking his own life, he would protect her at all costs!
Charles Yin immediately turned and gave a stern order: "Find a high ground—requirements: stable, safe, spacious, far from any buildings. Quickly prepare outdoor tents, bedding, food, water, and medicine. Get everything ready within three hours!"
After issuing the first order, Charles Yin quickly gave a second: "Get helicopters here, as many as possible!"
Order after order flew out, and everyone jumped into action.
Earl Field watched Charles Yin with an admiring look.
In this situation, Charles Yin can still issue orders with such composure—he truly deserves to be the head of the Yin family conglomerate.
After issuing all the orders, Charles Yin suddenly turned to look at Earl Field: "Since you know an earthquake is about to happen here, why aren’t you leaving?"
"There’s a Chinese saying: 'Great wealth comes with great risk.'" Earl Field wore a sly smile. "If you die in this earthquake, wouldn’t that be convenient for me?"
Charles Yin ignored Earl Field and turned to Alex: "Send news of the impending earthquake here to the Osaka city authorities."
Before Alex could act, Earl Field had already said coldly, "Don’t bother. I’ve already informed them, but they don’t believe it! Their sensors haven’t detected any seismic activity."
Charles Yin’s eyes narrowed instantly. "Fine, then let their lives be their own problem! How much longer will the surgery on Xixi take?"
Alex couldn’t answer that question, so he could only follow Charles Yin closely, ready to act on his orders at any moment.
Five hours. In five hours, the earthquake will strike.
And the earthquake won’t be just a single event—there will be aftershocks...
If the surgery isn’t finished within five hours...
Everyone might end up buried here.
Earl Field muttered a few words in a low voice, and his people quickly turned to carry out his orders.
"Let me give you another piece of information." Earl Field’s sly face finally showed a trace of seriousness. "According to usual practice, after the earthquake, the Black Syndicate will also get involved in the post-disaster reconstruction. Osaka won’t be an exception. And the current person in charge of the Osaka division is Clarence."
A deep shock flashed through Charles Yin’s eyes.
He’d already read between the lines of Earl Field’s words and sensed something else!
Clarence will definitely use this earthquake to take revenge on these people!
Meanwhile, in the operating room, things had reached a fever pitch.
The medicine was quickly being pushed into Xixi’s body, causing chaos within her system.
If Xixi weren’t under anesthesia at this moment, she’d be writhing all over from the pain.
This drug really is far too brutal!
