You'd better look back, Mr. Shen is about to break.

Chapter 132: Only 1 can be saved

The system's pupils dilated in shock for a moment, and it hurriedly used a tool to have Shen Mochen subdued again.

Its expression was somewhat uneasy, but it steeled itself and continued negotiating with Shen Mochen. "The only solution now is to rely on the system bound to Yu Nanqing."

It's more qualified and more capable than me; only it can find a way to rescue you.

Because of the instructions above its head, it didn't act too arrogantly as the mission neared its end. It still acted like a proper person, afraid that Shen Mochen would unleash tremendous power and destroy their entire bureau, or that Shen Mochen would be reborn after his death and come back to retaliate against it.

It had heard before entering the bureau that Shen Mochen was the big boss on the opposing side of the bureau, and no system with strong mental power could bind to him or control his thoughts.

It was able to bind purely because it was incredibly lucky, it just stumbled upon it by sheer chance.

If this mission is completed, it will become a legend in the system world. After all, destroying the enemy's big boss was listed as an SSSSS-level difficulty mission by the system elders before it entered the bureau.

As it spoke, it glanced at Shen Mochen, who had just been hit by a thug and whose head was bleeding profusely. It was so frightened that its fur stood on end. The entire system shrank into a corner and continued speaking with a forced smile, "However, our system's capabilities are limited. We can only save one of you and Chen Qing."

"The choice is in Yu Nanqing's hands."

"Let's wait and see who she'll save."

As soon as the words were spoken, it immediately switched to the scene on Yu Nanqing's side, which showed everything Yu Nanqing did and said.

Because of his earlier resistance, Shen Mochen was now being brutally beaten on the ground by several people. Even though he was tied up again, his fighting power was in no way inferior when he went berserk.

Upon hearing the system's words, he paused briefly for two seconds before being ambushed. A strong, muscular man pinned him to the ground, pressing his thick hands against the back of his head and slamming him to the ground twice. Seeing that he had no strength left to resist, the man then stopped and got up.

Shen Mochen's fingertips trembled slightly, and the blood flowing down his forehead almost soaked his reddened eyes.

His breathing was unsteady. As the man got up, he reached out and locked his neck tightly, dragging him backward to the window.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with boundless madness. "I haven't fallen to that level yet."

If you tell her, I'll make you suffer.

The system paused, its expression blank for two seconds, its eyes glancing several times at the wide-open window behind it. Its head was ringing, and it felt that if it didn't go all out this time, it would fail again.

After a moment of silence, it gritted its teeth and decided to give up entirely. "You're afraid Yu Nanqing won't choose you, aren't you?"

You guessed right, she won't choose you, no one will. You were born with a worthless, abandoned life. Don't struggle anymore, this world doesn't need you at all!

You should have died more than twenty years ago, when your mother abandoned you in the snow.

See? Even your own mother doesn't want you, so who will?

As it spoke, its gaze remained fixed on Shen Mochen's emotional changes. Only when it saw his veins bulging and his face darkening with coldness and ferocity did it shut up and directly open the live broadcast interface on the other side.

Yuese Tea House.

Hearing the alarm in her brain, Yu Nanqing's eyelids twitched a dozen times, and her heart raced with anxiety.

She apologized to the people in the private room, then pressed her aching chest and hurriedly walked out.

[Plot error! Plot error!]

The continuous mechanical noise continued. Yu Nanqing frowned, found a secluded spot, and collapsed to the ground, her heart pounding with pain. [What's going on?]

[Host, something went wrong in this world, causing the male protagonist Chen Qing and the villain Shen Mochen to be kidnapped at the same time and face death threats simultaneously.]

Yu Nanqing's pupils dilated in surprise, and she was incredulous. But before she could think about it, the system sent her a video of Shen Mochen and Chen Qing being tied up in an abandoned factory.

Her fingertips trembled slightly as she frantically grabbed her phone to call for help, but the system interrupted her the moment her fingertip touched the screen.

[Host, it's too late. The bombs strapped to their bodies will explode in just three minutes.]

"No! No!" Yu Nanqing's eyes reddened instantly. She couldn't get through to Shen Mochen on the phone, so she immediately believed that Shen Mochen was in trouble.

In her panic, she reached out and grabbed at the air twice, but grasped at nothing. Her breath caught in her throat, and tears streamed down her face. "Save him! I need to save him! Please help me!"

"Right now, we only have one solution: spatial teleportation, but it can only be used on one person." The system looked at her, remained silent for two seconds, finally took a breath, and continued, "Host..."

【Shen Mochen! Save him!】 Yu Nanqing made her choice without hesitation, before the system could even finish speaking.

She didn't care whether Chen Qing lived or died; if Shen Mochen were gone, she would be heartbroken and in unbearable pain.

The system paused, its brows furrowing slightly, and after another moment of silence, it replied, "[Chen Qing is the male protagonist of this world. If he dies, everyone, including the host and Shen Mochen, will face the collapse of the world and the death of everyone.]"

Finally, they added, "[If Shen Mochen dies, we can try to give the host a chance to have Shen Mochen reload his save file and start over.]"

Yu Nanqing froze, her face deathly pale, her fingertips clenching her fists tightly. After a long while, she finally spoke, her body trembling, her voice low and muffled, "What are the chances of getting Shen Mochen to reload his save file and start over?"

"About fifty percent." The system looked at her; it wasn't lying.

The atmosphere in the factory was cold and stiff.

Because of the little incident earlier, the group worked together to knock Shen Mochen unconscious and tie him to a chair.

The numbers on the bomb ticked away, not for three minutes, but for three hours.

The man crouching by the door, guarding the signal, was painstakingly checking Shen Mochen's identity information, preparing to extort a few million yuan from him, just like he had kidnapped Chen Qing.

The computer, with a poor signal, kept spinning in circles. Frustrated, the man scratched his head repeatedly. Finally, when the circles disappeared, the computer suddenly ran out of power and shut down.

The man's lips twitched, and he angrily scratched his head twice. Then, carrying his laptop back, he met the gazes of the others and couldn't help but sigh, "The laptop is being unreliable; it's out of battery."

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Shen Mochen. "Why not splash him awake? Make him call his family and ask for money?"

Upon hearing this, the leading man thought it made sense and immediately picked up a basin of water to rouse Shen Mochen.
