Long Xiliang emerged from the elevator, stepping into the underground parking lot with Zhou Qi and the accompanying staff.
The staff quickly stepped forward to graciously open the car door for Long Xiliang, bowing their heads and inviting him in.
Before Long Xiliang could get into the car, an unusual sound pervaded the air. To him, everything around seemed to freeze; time stopped and even the flow of air appeared to slow.
He heard the sound of the car's engine running, the industrial gasoline decomposing, and other rhythmic noises, ticking, ticking, ticking...
"Back up," Long Xiliang said, already retreating from the door of the car.
An explosion suddenly erupted from beneath the chassis of the sedan, sparks flew in all directions. The bomb-proof sedan, modified for safety, was shaken by the blast, trembling throughout its frame.
