Chapter 6

Time was running out? Tang Chuyi's face turned red, and her heart tightened. Even though she felt extremely embarrassed and shy, she knew it was a matter of life and death.

Enough! Tang Chuyi gritted her teeth and steeled her heart, then spread her legs.

This time, she was determined. Her long, slender legs were spread wide enough, and as the front of her skirt parted and slid to the sides of her thighs, the alluring scene between her legs was instantly exposed to the air.

A pale purple, with lace embroidery, the thin, gossamer-like lace outlined an alluring bulge. The misty view added a touch of allure...

Tang Chuyi felt her cheeks burning. If there were a mirror, she would have seen the blush on her cheeks spreading to her ears and neck, looking so delicate and red that it seemed to be dripping with water.

She was very aware of how ungraceful and undignified her posture was. Just as she was about to feel so embarrassed that she wanted to hide in a hole, she suddenly felt something brush against the inside of her ankle, which startled her almost to the point of crying out.

"Finally, I'm in..." From under the chair, Ning Xiaofan's voice came.

Hearing this, Tang Chuyi felt a sigh of relief.

Under the luxurious massage chair, Ning Xiaofan had already opened his eyes. However, his attention was entirely on the bottom of the seat cushion. He observed and felt around with his hand.

His long, slender fingertips gently slid over the surface, quickly feeling the entire bottom of the seat cushion. Finally, his fingers stopped at the center of the seat cushion. Then, Ning Xiaofan took a key from his pocket and a small, almost pitifully small fruit knife.

With a "sizzle," the tip of the knife cut through the layer of leather on the bottom of the seat, making two cuts to form a cross. The tip of the knife then gently lifted the center of the cross, peeling back a corner of the leather. Ning Xiaofan's fingertips gently pinched the corner of the leather, and his other hand continued to cut, quickly splitting the cross completely.

Breaking through the leather, the alloy bottom was exposed. Reaching in again, Ning Xiaofan's lips curled into a faint smile. His fingertips could already feel that the center of the seemingly intact alloy bottom was embedded with a square wooden board.

Clearly, the original alloy bottom of the seat had been cut to install the explosive device, and the wooden board was used to replace the alloy and restore it. The reason was simple: the screws in the four corners of the wooden board revealed a hint of the alteration. With the hardness of the alloy, the screws could not have been driven in.

The wooden board was embedded tightly, and its surface was sprayed with a coating that closely resembled the alloy, making it almost indistinguishable. If the light were bright and the view excellent, one might be able to observe the fine seams at the edges of the square. However, under the chair, the light was almost negligible. Ning Xiaofan could detect the embedded wooden board solely due to his exceptionally sensitive fingertips.

Alloy and wood have a slight temperature difference, which others might not notice, but for him, it was not difficult to detect.

Behind the wooden board, of course, was the place where the bomb was placed. However, it could not be opened rashly, as it might trigger an ignition mechanism, which would mean the end of the operation.

Ning Xiaofan was not so reckless. He put away the fruit knife and picked out a silver cylindrical object that resembled a lipstick from the keychain, then gently rotated the bottom of the cylinder.

The action seemed to have no visible effect, but touching the top of the cylinder with his fingertips, he could feel a fine steel needle, more accurately, a fine wire as thin as a cow's hair.

The wire penetrated the seam where the wooden board was embedded and swept around the seam. Soon, Ning Xiaofan felt a slight resistance as the wire swept over the seams on both sides of the wooden board.

Indeed, there was an ignition mechanism!

Discovering the ignition mechanism, Ning Xiaofan was not nervous but rather relieved. He fiddled with the keychain and picked out another metal object, about two inches in size, with a somewhat peculiar shape, and began to work.

Ning Xiaofan did not spend much time under the seat, only about a minute, but to Tang Chuyi, it felt like several hours.

Not only that, but from under the seat, occasional strange sounds made her extremely uncomfortable, as if a hand might suddenly reach out from the seat cushion. She even felt a slight vibration from the seat cushion, making her buttocks feel itchy and numb...

Of course, all of this was an illusion. There was indeed some movement under the seat, but it was just sound. With Ning Xiaofan's careful and gentle movements, the seat cushion did not vibrate.

Why isn't it done yet!

Tang Chuyi muttered to herself. The uncomfortable tingling sensation in her buttocks seemed to be getting more noticeable. She subconsciously wanted to lift her buttocks a little, but her waist and abdomen were restrained, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not move her buttocks at all.

The inability to move her buttocks made her feel as if she were sitting on pins and needles.

Fortunately, this discomfort did not last long. Just as she was feeling extremely uncomfortable, she heard a long sigh from under the chair, followed by a voice: "Miss Tang, the remote control device has been removed. You don't need to worry anymore."

The remote control device has been removed! It's over! The words were like a heavenly melody to her ears. Tang Chuyi let out a long sigh of relief, the heavy burden in her heart lifted, and her tense body relaxed. For a moment, she felt completely weak, with no strength left in her body.

However, just as she relaxed, she heard Ning Xiaofan mutter, "This guy is really extravagant, military-grade C4, with an explosive range of at least 500 meters, not just 300 square meters..."

Ning Xiaofan's muttering, though seemingly to himself, made Tang Chuyi's heart leap to her throat, and her body tensed up again.

Fear once again enveloped Tang Chuyi's mind and body. The tension and relaxation almost made her mentally collapse, and her back was drenched in sweat, as if she had just been drenched in water.

In addition to fear, there was a hint of annoyance in her eyes. She was so angry that she wanted to bite him. If she could move, she would really bite him hard!

"Hey, didn't you say it's over!" Tang Chuyi gritted her teeth, no longer maintaining her ladylike demeanor, and even dropped the "Mr. Ning" and just called him "hey."

"It's over. The remote control device has been removed, so you don't need to worry about the explosive device being remotely detonated. You are now safe. We just need to remove the explosive device and take out the explosives..." Ning Xiaofan seemed not to notice the change in her tone and explained seriously.

Hearing Ning Xiaofan's explanation, Tang Chuyi's annoyance slightly subsided, but she could not stand his habit of speaking in half-sentences. She asked cautiously, "Then, can you tell me, will the explosive device suddenly explode?"

"No, with me here, the bomb won't explode."

"Really?"

"Really!"

"Can you guarantee it?"

"Uh, I guarantee it!" Ning Xiaofan responded, but in his heart, he was annoyed. Why does this keep happening?

Hearing this, Tang Chuyi let out a sigh of relief, and her body relaxed again. At this moment, a thought flashed through her mind, and her eyes showed a hint of panic. She quickly said, "You said the bomb won't explode, right?"

"Yes, I said that. What's the matter?"

"I mean... if you pause for a moment and don't rush to remove it, will it affect anything? I mean, just for a moment!"

"Pause for a moment? This... won't have any effect, but it's best to remove the explosive device as soon as possible."

"I know it needs to be removed quickly, but I just need you to help me with a small favor..."

"What is it?"

"Um... um..." Tang Chuyi seemed hesitant to speak, her cheeks turning a charming shade of red. After a moment of hesitation, she gently bit her lip and said, "Mr. Ning, can you help me pull up the front of my skirt..."

Tang Chuyi, who was asking for help, sounded much more ladylike, though she still called him "guy" in her heart, she used "Mr. Ning" in her words.

"Pull up the skirt?"

"Yes, pull up the skirt..." Tang Chuyi's voice was as soft as a mosquito, and her face was red with embarrassment.

"Oh, wait a moment."

Ning Xiaofan responded, twisting his body lying under the chair, preparing to move out a bit.

However, just as he started to move, he heard Tang Chuyi's urgent voice, "Don't move yet, wait!"

"What's the matter?" Ning Xiaofan, hearing the urgency in her voice, paused and did as she said.

"Are your eyes closed?"

Tang Chuyi's words reminded Ning Xiaofan that her legs were spread. His heart skipped a beat, and an alluring scene flashed through his mind.

"Oh, I forgot. I'll close them now."

Ning Xiaofan responded casually but did not rush to close his eyes. Although his mind was filled with alluring thoughts, he did not want to defile the goddess in his heart. He just wanted to wait until he was a bit out from under the chair before closing his eyes.

"Make sure your eyes are closed tightly..."

"Got it, don't worry, I won't peek."

Ning Xiaofan answered honestly, but Tang Chuyi's face turned red, and she couldn't help but mutter, "Pah! Try peeking, and I'll bite you to death!"

"Miss Tang, can I come out now?"

"Yes, come out."

Ning Xiaofan waited a few seconds, seeing that she was no longer endlessly reminding him, and then moved his body out from under the chair.

Feeling the light from outside the chair about to shine on his chin, Ning Xiaofan quickly closed his eyes and moved a bit more. A faint, delicate fragrance wafted into his nostrils.

The delicate fragrance came from Tang Chuyi's calves. As they say, one can recognize a woman by her scent. A beauty like Tang Chuyi, a national goddess, would naturally use top-tier perfume, the Phantom series, priced at $500 per ounce.
