The School Beauty's Super Rogue-Chapter 237 - 235: The Last Days of the Warlord

The person who chooses to ride the line is using their life to gain time for the other two.

As soon as Yu Qing’s words fell, Yu Dongling immediately cried out, "No! No, Dad, there must be another way, we can’t!"

Qin Hao was silent when he heard Yu Qing choose to ride the line, not expecting Yu Qing to agree so quickly.

Yu Qing looked at his daughter and then smiled, saying, "Dongling, I’m sorry. But it’s too late to say these things now. Give Daddy a hug, okay?"

Yu Dongling’s tears fell uncontrollably like beads from a broken string.

Qin Hao glanced at the timed explosive and silently estimated the time, then directly said, "We still have ten seconds to waste."

Yu Qing nodded slightly, then reached out and pulled Yu Dongling into his arms, burying his head on her shoulder.

At this moment, all the heroic aura on Yu Qing dissipated completely. Tears glimmered in his eyes, he took a deep breath and then whispered in Yu Dongling’s ear, "Promise Daddy, live well. Even though Daddy has done many things over the line, Daddy—loves you!"

Yu Dongling was already crying uncontrollably, and when she heard this, she suddenly had a bad premonition. Just as she was about to struggle in Yu Qing’s arms, Yu Qing’s hand chopped sharply on the back of her neck, with just the right amount of force to knock Yu Dongling unconscious.

"Alright, Qin Hao, let’s get started."

Yu Qing gently laid Yu Dongling’s body on the ground, then turned around, his face once again filled with determination, and he quickly said.

Meanwhile, Qin Hao had already placed his hand on the timed explosive.

On the bomb, a bright red countdown showed the last thirty seconds.

"Get ready, as soon as I pull out this blue wire, you must immediately press the red wire next to it into the original blue wire’s position. Not even a millimeter’s deviation, not even a second’s delay, or we’re all done for."

Yu Qing nodded and then stood to the side. Qin Hao’s fingers, like an iron clamp, gripped the red wire and pulled it with a slight hissing of sparks, tearing down the red wire first.

Yu Qing’s breath instantly held as the red timer stopped for a second and then turned into 00:10.

The urgent electronic beeps sounded instantly, mingled with Qin Hao’s urgent voice.

"Attention, from now on, there can be no mistakes!"

As he spoke, he handed the pulled red wire to Yu Qing, his ten fingers behind his ears instantly became a blur, dismantling a device on the bomb at a dizzying speed.

Each of Qin Hao’s fingers seemed to possess tremendous power, the screws and components were as fragile as paper in his hands.

Beep—— Beep!

The timer showed 00:06.

"Ready, release!"

Qin Hao’s fingers grabbed a blue wire inside, paused for a second, and then without hesitation, yanked off that blue wire. Yu Qing’s red wire was pressed almost simultaneously to the original blue wire’s position.

Beep——!

A long, sharp beep sounded continuously inside the small conference room. Yu Qing’s hands pressed on the wire interface, watching the bomb intently, sweat dripping continuously from his forehead.

The long beep sounded for nearly ten seconds, and then the timer flashed suddenly and started a new round of the countdown.

00:59

00:58

00:57

Phew! Qin Hao and Yu Qing let out a long breath simultaneously.

The bomb’s backup detonation device successfully started, resetting the time for the final minute.

In these precious fifty-plus seconds, Qin Hao wasted no time in flashing to the window, punched through the glass twice, then gripped two thick solid steel bars on the security grille outside.

"The last minute of life, any reflection?"

Qin Hao gripped the steel bars, applied some force to test the strength, and then felt assured. This reinforced window might be tough for others, but not for him.

Yu Qing’s attention was on the line in his hands, and upon hearing him, he raised his face to look at Qin Hao, their gazes meeting, and a heroic feeling of an end of the road arose inexplicably in the small room.

"How do you know it’s not your life’s last minute?" Yu Qing looked at Qin Hao and smiled, gesturing with his eyes at the line he’s holding.

"If I let go now, we’d end up together. Aren’t you afraid?"

Qin Hao smiled and shook his head, then said, "I can leave anytime now. If you let go of the bomb, you’d at most bury your daughter and yourself with it."

Yu Qing turned his gaze to his daughter, taking a deep look for the last time, and then laughed aloud, saying, "Hahaha! Qin Hao, I, Yu Qing, have drunk the strongest liquor and slept with the most beautiful women. This business, I built it from scratch, bit by bit. I’ve been glorious, and I’ve fallen. The fickleness of the world, the warmth and cold of human nature, I’ve long seen through these things."

"In this lifetime, I’ve no regrets!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Hao raised an eyebrow and asked, "Being treated as cannon fodder in the end, and still no regrets?"

Yu Qing shook his head and said, "Without Blood Leaf’s help, I’d have been a corpse in an alley in South City twenty years ago. This life was given by them. Although I’m angry, giving it back now clears the debt."

"Qin Hao, getting involved with you was the most foolish decision of my life. And I believe it was also the most foolish decision of the Blood Leaf Killer Group."

"Although I can’t guess your true identity, I know you’re not from the same world as us. I, Yu Qing, have ended up like this today, it’s of my own doing, and I accept it! This lifetime, I’ve done business where my head could always hang by a thread; I knew this day would come. I don’t regret it."

"But in the end, I want to ask you for one thing, spare my daughter, she knows nothing."

Qin Hao nodded upon hearing this, then glanced at the countdown on the timer.

00:18

Qin Hao sighed lightly, then slowly walked over, picked up Yu Dongling in one motion, slung her over his shoulder, then grasped the specially reinforced steel bars outside the window with one hand, casually tugged twice, and the hard steel bars instantly bent, creating a narrow gap just big enough for them to pass.

Yu Qing’s eyes flashed indescribably bright again, such terrifying strength was completely beyond his understanding.

Perhaps, I’m not even qualified to be his opponent.

Yu Qing laughed bitterly in his heart, only realizing too late now.

Looking at Yu Dongling in Qin Hao’s arms, a touch of fondness appeared in Yu Qing’s eyes, the purest parental love. Memories of Yu Dongling babbling in her infancy flashed in his mind, holding Yu Dongling’s hand, buying her candied haws, both father and daughter smiling happily.

Yu Qing’s eyes turned slightly red with nostalgia for past feelings.

As people grow, they might gain more and more things.

But it seems they might also unconsciously lose more and more of the most precious and pure things.

"Dongling, Daddy loves you." Yu Qing muttered to himself, at this moment he lacked the ruthlessness of an underworld ruler, possessing only the kindness of a father.
