255: Chapter 255 Let him dig, dig as hard as he can!

The director grew angrier the more he thought about it and immediately wanted to rush over to investigate.

Fortunately, Su Yu reacted quickly and pressed him down.

“Wait a minute, look at what they are doing over there?”

Su Yu pointed in another direction.

Only then did the director see that behind some trees in the distance, several people were vigorously digging a hole with shovels.

Lin Yu was clearly among them.

“Are they planning to bury Lin Xiao?”

The director found it hard to believe.

It was one thing to attack someone at the drop of a hat these days, but to use such a primitive method was another.

Su Yu nodded. “There are many of them, and they look quite skilled. We have to be careful.”

The director was nearly fuming. “Could they really intend to make a move against so many of us? That would be far too lawless!”

“It's always better to be cautious.”

Su Yu also felt that Lin Yu wouldn't be stupid to that extent.

But it was hard to say.

In case this idiot really lost his head and did something excessive.

She didn't want the people from the Film Crew to get hurt trying to save Lin Xiao.

At this moment, Lin Xiao also noticed Su Yu, the director, and the others hiding in the shadows.

Why are they here?

Lin Xiao was surprised.

A flash of panic crossed his usually calm eyes.

He hurriedly struggled to gesture to them, winking and grimacing repeatedly to signal them not to come over.

Because he was tied up with ropes, his body twisted and turned.

Fortunately, Lin Yu and his men were focused on digging the hole and didn't notice Lin Xiao's situation.

“What is... wrong with him?”

The director asked in confusion, looking at Lin Xiao's bizarre behavior.

“I don't know.”

Su Yu didn't understand either.

“Is he feeling unwell, or is his face cramping?”

The director watched Lin Xiao closely and suddenly slapped his forehead. “I know! They must have drugged him! The kind of drug that makes your whole body itch after you drink it!”

“...”

Although Su Yu didn't know exactly what was going on with Lin Xiao, she felt certain that wasn't the reason.

A drug that makes the whole body itch?

The director has probably filmed too many movies...

Finally, just as Su Yu was planning to have everyone rush out to rescue him, she suddenly heard Lin Xiao's inner voice.

[My dear sister! Don't come out! Whatever you do, don't come out!]

[I'm begging you!]

[Let Lin Yu keep digging, let him dig properly!]

...

So that's what he meant!

Su Yu suddenly realized.

She hurriedly stopped the director and the others from rushing out, gesturing for everyone to wait a little longer.

The director didn't understand why, but seeing that Lin Xiao was indeed in no danger for now, he hid back down.

Perhaps because Lin Xiao's movements were too large, Lin Yu finally noticed.

Lin Yu gave a cold snort, walked up to Lin Xiao, and yanked the ragged cloth out of his mouth.

“What? In a hurry to say your last words?”

“Heh, you guys are digging slower than a rat in a sewer. What do I have to be in a hurry about?”

Lin Xiao provoked him without hesitation.

Lin Yu was infuriated. “Still acting tough with death staring you in the face!”

Lin Xiao continued to mock him. “Seriously, you're digging too slowly. If you've got the guts, dig faster! What a bunch of losers, can't even figure out how to dig a hole!”

Lin Yu was indeed riled up.

He turned around, grabbed the shovel again, and began digging with savage force as if possessed.

One scoop, two scoops, three scoops...

After an unknown number of strokes, he suddenly felt the shovel hit something hard.

“Damn it, what is this!”

He irritably smashed down hard a couple more times.

At this point, the person beside him saw what the object in the pit looked like.

“A-a grenade?”

“Oh no, run!”

“...”

Their reactions were fast, but the grenade's reaction was faster.

With a loud "Boom," a violent explosion occurred in the pit!

Lin Xiao hadn't been that close to begin with and had already taken cover behind the thick tree trunk behind him.

His ears were ringing from the shock, and his hair was showered with a layer of dirt.

Other than that, he was uninjured.

In the distance, Su Yu and the director were stunned by this sudden turn of events.

The whole group slumped to the ground, their faces deathly pale.

“Holy crap, how—how could there be a bomb?”

The director was trembling all over.

The power of this explosion was many times stronger than the explosive props he used when filming.

This was clearly a real bomb!

“Did they not only want to bury Lin Xiao but also blow him to death?”

The director stammered.

These words alerted Su Yu.

She hurriedly stood up and ran stumbling toward where Lin Xiao had been. “A-Xiao! A-Xiao, where are you?”

“Third Sister, I'm fine.”

After the ringing in his ears subsided, Lin Xiao finally heard some sounds.

Turning his head, he saw Su Yu running over with a face full of panic.

“You scared me to death!”

Su Yu's voice carried a hint of a sob.

She untied Lin Xiao's ropes while checking him from head to toe.

She was terrified of seeing an injury on him.

“I'm really okay.”

This was the first time Lin Xiao had seen Su Yu lose her composure like this.

As a lawyer, Su Yu had always been very calm.

He hadn't expected his little scheme to scare her so badly this time.

“You... couldn't you have... what if something happened to you? How would I explain it to Mom and Dad? How would I explain it to our sisters!”

The more Su Yu thought about it, the more terrified she became, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

She didn't know how Lin Xiao dared to be so overconfident!

If Lin Yu and his men had dug a few times less and just thrown Lin Xiao in to bury him, the consequences would have been unthinkable!

“Alright, alright, I'm fine, aren't I?”

Lin Xiao grinned, gently put his arm around Su Yu's shoulder, and gave her a comforting pat. “It was my fault this time. It won't happen again.”

It took a good while before Su Yu's emotions finally settled.

Actually, she also understood that Lin Xiao must have known beforehand that Lin Yu would dig up a bomb, which was why he didn't let them get close.

But she was still angry!

There were clearly so many ways to deal with Lin Yu; why use such a risky method?

Just then, the voices of the Film Crew staff came from not far away.

“Director, I'm afraid people might actually be dying!”

“Then why haven't you called an ambulance yet?”

“...”

Su Yu and Lin Xiao slowly walked near the site of the explosion and saw the tragic scene.

Of the several people who had been digging the hole, some had broken arms, and some had broken legs.

Looking at them, it seemed unlikely they would survive.

Blood stained the soil on the ground, and blood droplets hung from the weeds.

Many people couldn't help but vomit upon seeing this scene.

The director was also having a breakdown.

With great difficulty, Lin Xiao was fine, but now there were so many people here whose lives were uncertain.

This matter was likely going to be difficult to handle again.

However, the silver lining was that, strictly speaking, this accident wasn't man-made.

It was just that these unlucky fellows were digging a hole in the woods and accidentally dug up explosives left over from the War of Resistance.

It should just be an accident.

Furthermore, these severely injured people were all brought by Lin Yu himself and were not part of the Film Crew.

In other words, it might not have too much of an impact on the filming.

The director kept comforting himself, and his heart gradually settled down.

As for Lin Xiao, his gaze had been fixed on Lin Yu from the start.

Logically, since Lin Yu was the one who dug up the grenade and was the closest, his injuries should have been the most severe.

But at this moment, Lin Yu appeared to have the lightest injuries.

His limbs were intact; only one eye was gurgling blood.

It looked like he was blinded.

Lin Xiao sighed inwardly.

He truly lived up to being the Son of Heaven's Path; under such a heavy blow, he only suffered this much injury.
