Trial Marriage Husband: My Bed’s Broken!

Chapter 51: Emergency

Tang Yu was laughing throughout the entire meal.

They had only been together for more than a month. Their marriage was on the spur of a moment. Despite all that, however, they were already attracted to each other, even without knowing much about each other’s past and habits.

Tang Yu suggested that they go to her house, to let Miles see the place where she lived. She wanted to have a proper relationship.

All along, she had been held in the palms of everyone’s hands, and was the center of attention all because of her good looks.

There were many who liked her but she would always keep them at a distance. She had always been afraid that she would screw up and stir up the storm of public opinion.

She had secretly liked her senior, Song Huating. Perhaps she only wanted to set an imaginary goal for herself to use it as an excuse to reject others. Truthfully, she had walled off her heart a long time ago. For so many years, no one had been able to break through her defenses and enter her heart.

It was not until her father fell ill that she met Miles.

“Miles, I want to know more about you.” Tang Yu held his hand, her sweet smile melting Miles’ heart..

Miles looked at her apologetically, “Whatever I say, you would probably have already known. Xiao Yu, my father is a businessman. I don’t know much about his career and I can’t tell anyone about it. Although I’m British, I didn’t grow up in England. I only came here to study for my PhD.

“If there’s a chance, how about you take me around to the place where you lived?”

Tang Yu held his hand as they took a stroll along the streets of her home. She showed him the places she knew; her junior high and highschool, the store where she had worked part-time during summer break, the supermarket where she often bought stuff from.

When they were not at school, they would stick together day and night. One could say that they were almost as close as conjoined twins.

After dinner, they went for a walk along the River Thames.

Tang Yu found a familiar spot and gestured to Miles to sit down. “This is the most beautiful view of the nightlife that I’ve found based on my many years of experience.”

There were many classical buildings along the River Thames, their lights bright and beautiful.

“My wife really has good taste.” Miles stared at her, his eyes filled with love as he sat down.

What he did not expect was that Adam would call him as soon as he was seated.

Miles hung up mercilessly, not wanting to ruin the romantic mood. Yet Adam relentlessly called three times again and again consecutively, prompting Miles to finally get up and answer the call

“Buddy, do you know that you’re ruining my romantic night?” Miles sounded very unhappy.

Adam’s anxious voice came from the phone, “Miles, you have to come over quickly! The situation has gone out of control! Where are you? I’ll send a car to pick you up immediately!”

Miles could hear vague sounds of gunshots and explosions in the background. He glanced at Tang Yu as he walked to her side. “Darling, would you mind just sitting here and waiting for me for about an hour?”

“An hour?” Tang Yu held his hand, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.

“I’ll be back soon. Just wait for me obediently.” Miles patted her head.

In a warehouse in the suburbs of London, a few gangs had misfired, and were now fighting fiercely. A number of people had already died.

Miles found a signal transmitter hidden in the soil. He used his smartwatch to crack the coordinate code as he quickly met up with Adam and Adela.

Adam explained the situation. A total of four organizations were fighting for a batch of electrolyte concentrate. Two organizations had already been wiped out. The cloaked gang only had a very difficult invisible captain left to deal with. He had only been here for 30 minutes, and yet 13 had already been killed by his hands. Surely, victory was already in his sights.

Miles nodded as he gestured to his own people to hide and wait for orders.

He left the team alone and disappeared into the darkness, shuffling through the mountains of cargo boxes in the warehouse.

Adam was nervous as his eyes followed the tracker. Miles’ light spot seemed to be getting further and further away. Suddenly….

It stopped flashing! It disappeared!

Miles?!

Adam and Adela exchanged a look. Just as Adela had been about to rush in, he heard a loud bang.

An explosion at Miles’ location!

Flames soared into the sky.

Soon, not only there, but the entire warehouse’s electrical circuits malfunctioned, causing electrostatic friction and a series of more explosions.

Every member of their team was warned to stay 500 meters away from the signal devices.

Adam and Adela walked away reluctantly, their hands and feet as heavy as lead blocks.

Time passed slowly.

The remaining group of eight looked warily in the direction of the warehouse.

Only 30 minutes had passed, but to them, it felt like a century. Not a single person emerged from the flames of the explosion.
