Jin Mingzhe tried hard to follow Zhao Zhiqiang.

However, after a couple of turns, he lost him after just two minutes...

"Damn it!"

Jin Mingzhe cursed to himself.

"Special forces! Their counter-surveillance skills are absolutely professional! A professional special forces soldier turned into a professional scammer—what a disgrace to the special forces!"

He didn't expect Zhao Zhiqiang to have such strong anti-tailing skills. With the task already assigned by his boss, he had no choice but to continue searching.

Jin Mingzhe wandered around and somehow entered the underground parking lot through the south gate of the hospital.

It was here that he lost Zhao Zhiqiang. Returning to this spot to look for clues, he accidentally discovered the woman who had been scammed earlier.

He quickly hid and watched to see what would happen.

He thought, "This is the perfect chance to catch them in the act. Indeed, it's a scam!"

He looked around and chose a corner behind a pillar to hide.

Gu Quanyou, frowning, walked to this spot, his mind full of troublesome matters. Recently, his bad luck had been increasing, and his wife kept falling for scams one after another. It was truly unjust, as if the scammers were targeting his family.

Just as he was troubled, Chen Liqin, out of breath, intercepted him from behind, refusing to let him enter the underground garage.

She said that the young man had warned that the underground garage would be dangerous...

This was pure nonsense!

"Lili, I beg you, let me go. That kid is just a small-time scammer!"

"Better safe than sorry. He knew we parked in the underground garage, and didn't he hit the nail on the head with your worries?"

The two of them argued all the way from the elevator.

Gu Quanyou insisted on going down to get the car and leave, while Chen Liqin refused to let him go down. She couldn't hold him back.

Gu Quanyou, in a fit of anger, finally managed to shake off his nagging wife and stepped out of the elevator, walking straight ahead. His Great Wall SUV was parked about ten meters away. Despite buying his wife a car worth several million, he always drove this domestic car worth only a few hundred thousand. If it were just him, no one would think he was rich.

Chen Liqin, who had come out of the elevator a step later, found it difficult to catch up due to her plump figure. She cried and called out, and passersby thought the couple might be getting a divorce!

Their argument was seen by Jin Mingzhe, who was looking for his way.

Chen Liqin suddenly remembered the last person Zhao Zhiqiang had mentioned.

Was disaster about to strike from the sky?

Chen Liqin felt a chill run down her spine and involuntarily looked up.

It was just a concrete ceiling, and there seemed to be nothing unusual. However, she didn't give up and checked her watch; it was one minute to twelve.

Would it be accurate? Just one second off!

Chen Liqin urgently grabbed her husband's arm.

"Hubby! Please, don't get in the car. If you can't, just go out! Take a taxi!"

"Lili, you're being stubborn. Go and make a fool of yourself. I have things to do..."

"Boom!" A deafening explosion!

Before Gu Quanyou could finish his sentence, something dark and heavy suddenly fell from above!

He hadn't even reached the car. Just as Chen Liqin had grabbed his clothes, a loud "boom" was heard. The left side of the car, where he would have been standing, was hit by a heavy object. There was no car there.

The loud explosion was followed by a sudden brightness overhead.

Several heavy concrete blocks fell directly, smashing into Gu Quanyou's car. One of the blocks, with a sharp edge and rebar, deeply pierced the driver's seat.

Smaller pieces of gravel hit Chen Liqin and Gu Quanyou, who had just stepped out of the falling area, and rolled to the ground.

Bright sunlight shone through the large hole in the ceiling.

Gu Quanyou's face turned pale.

He panted heavily, his heart almost stopping!

If he had taken one more step...

...he would have really said goodbye to this world!

Seeing his car crushed into scrap metal, he was so shaken that his legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground, "Heaven!"

Chen Liqin came to her senses, drenched in cold sweat!

She dragged her husband over with the strength of a sack of flour, carrying the 150-pound Gu Quanyou on her back and fleeing towards the exit!

"It's bad! The underground garage has collapsed!"

Gu Quanyou was so scared that he couldn't think. He kept looking up at the transparent hole, muttering, "If only I had listened to that wise man!"

"Thankfully, he made me stop you. Otherwise, wailing, what would we do without you and our child!" Chen Liqin, carrying her husband, cried as she ran out, not knowing if the ceiling would collapse again. Others were also running for their lives, and the scene was chaotic.

But Gu Quanyou, who had narrowly escaped death, was secretly relieved, "Damn it, this time it wasn't the materials provided by my company! It's the Yintai Company's bad luck!"

"Enough, hubby, who cares who it is. You survived a major disaster, and you will surely have good luck. But we must thank that young man! Before I came, he even spat blood to predict this for you!"

"Ah—"

"Ah, the young man said, 'How much is your husband's life worth? Give me that much money.' I gave him all the cash, cards, and ID I had. Only then did he reveal the exact time and place. Heaven!"

"Ah—" Gu Quanyou couldn't believe it. If his wife hadn't held him back, he might have been crushed in the car, if not killed, then seriously injured!

But that young man could predict the time and place... amazing!

"Death, came? So accurate..."

Jin Mingzhe, not far away, watched everything that happened.

He was so scared that he panted heavily, staring at the ceiling, fearing that a piece of concrete might fall on his head. "No, I have to leave here quickly. I always knew that Chinese construction was substandard, but I never thought it would be this bad! I need to report back to my boss. That little scammer actually predicted everything accurately!"

The hospital responded quickly to the sudden accident. Security, police, and others soon arrived to maintain order and investigate.

In fact, the surface of the matter was simple.

Right above Gu Quanyou's car, there was a small square for rest, and a flower bed was being built. During the winter, construction stopped, and the construction company's material transport vehicle came to transfer things. Due to the substandard steel used, only a segment of rebar connected the area. When the heavy vehicle turned and moved one meter more, it caused the entire concrete slab to collapse!

Just one meter. The car was still stuck, with a huge wheel hanging in the air.

Many people cursed the developers for their heartless actions, and the hospital quickly formed an accident response team to handle the situation. Gu Quanyou, however, had no interest in going to the hospital for a check-up or arguing for compensation. His most urgent task was to find that wise young man.

What a wise man...

Gu Quanyou's mind was filled with the terrifying scene he had just experienced, constantly replaying the young man's warnings, feeling deeply regretful!
