Just then, the footsteps outside the door suddenly stopped, followed by several screams of agony.
Cici's face grew even paler.
She heard people outside the window too!
Now, no one could get out!
Instinctively, Cici pulled the two children behind her. Even if it wouldn't help, even if she had to die, she'd die before her kids did!
Feeling the fierce protectiveness from his mother, Ethan Yin's usual mischievous spark faded, replaced by a calm resolve.
He stood there, calm as water. Too bad Cici had her back to him and didn't see that Ethan's demeanor now was just like Charles Yin's.
Rona Muir didn't hesitate for a second—she pulled the trigger and shot the man near the door, sending him flying.
For the first time, Cici realized that the beautiful woman who always clung to her and acted cute could be so fierce!
The people outside were ambushed and panicked, shouting, "There's an ambush inside! Spread out and surround them—"
Then, a series of explosions rang out outside.
Boom, boom, boom...
At night, it's all too easy to stumble into a minefield.
More than a dozen people—before they could even rush in, most were wiped out by the minefield outside. Only seven or eight were left.
Rona Muir shouted in French from inside the room, "We're tourists from China! Take one more step, and don't blame us for what happens next!"
To prove her point, another scream came from outside: "Ahhh... it's poisonous!"
Miles Gu quickly glanced at Ethan Yin.
Ethan's talent in pharmacology was truly unmatched.
Mixing up poison? No pressure at all!
The sound of people frantically cocking their guns outside came through!
They clearly thought everyone inside the house was one of their own.
To set up such a cunning minefield and such devious traps—only special forces or mercenaries could pull that off!
Whoever lives here is definitely not ordinary!
Tonight, no matter who’s inside, things won’t end peacefully!
While both sides were at a standoff, Charles Yin, who lived next door, was still watching the drama unfold.
Yep, that’s right—he was just enjoying the show.
Not a single scene in that room escaped his gaze.
When Miles Gu set up the surveillance, he also linked their house’s cameras to Dad’s computer.
So Charles could see everything, day and night, right from his screen.
Little A and the other assistants stood by, their nerves shot, but their boss was cool as ever—totally unfazed!
President, oh President, everyone in that house is your precious family!
Whether it’s your wife or your sons, they’re all your flesh and blood!
How can you be so calm? Seriously?
Right then, Ethan Yin held a tiny remote in his hand and calmly pressed a button.
The next second, there was an even bigger explosion outside the door!
Cici felt the shockwave’s force hit her—she staggered and almost fell!
Rona Muir stumbled too, retreating a few steps with Cici.
Cici’s face drained of color as she stared outside. Right now, she felt utterly hopeless.
Who are those people out there? Why are they so ruthless?
Of course, Cici thought the explosions were the enemy’s doing—she had no idea Ethan Yin was behind it all.
