But Ye Qiu is not one of those people, although he is sometimes too lazy to use his brain, but he is not a fool, when Hua Yunlong triggered the bomb countdown, Ye Qiu was sure that Hermes had time to stop Hua Yunlong, but Hermes did not do that, which is a little intriguing.

After all, Ye Qiu didn't believe that Hermes was the kind of person who could put life and death aside, unless he didn't care about Hua Yunlong detonating the bomb at all, so things would make sense.

What Ye Qiu couldn't understand was why Hermes had time to stop Hua Yunlong, but instead of doing so, he just let Hua Yunlong trigger the time bomb, and instead kept ignoring Hua Yunlong's existence.

No matter how he thought about it, Ye Qiu didn't know Hermes's thoughts, although he knew that Hermes must have his own calculations, but Ye Qiu didn't have a clue about it, the only thing he could do now was to wait, no matter what Hermes's plan was, all Ye Qiu could do was to block the water and cover the earth.

As time passed, Ye Qiu and Hermes were strangely silent, each other seemed to be waiting for something, staring at each other's reactions, and there was a faint taste of competition.

But the stalemate between Ye Qiu and Hermes made Mu Xinyi and Tian Mi on the side nervous.

After all, what was tied to Hua Yunlong was a time bomb, although Mu Xinyi and Tian Mi had never seen this thing, but when Hua Yunlong came in, he used this time bomb to threaten them, which caused them to be controlled by Hua Yunlong.

When Hua Yunlong was still alive, Mu Xinyi and Tian Mi had scruples, and they didn't dare to resist at all, which caused the previous situation.

But after Hermes appeared, he quickly killed Hua Yunlong, who was still arrogant before, which also made Mu Xinyi and Tian Mi even more afraid to act rashly.

Of course, it's not that the two women are afraid of death, it's that they don't want to implicate Ye Qiu, after all, there are only Ye Qiu and the four of them on the scene, if something happens to them, or if they rebel against Hermes, Ye Qiu will inevitably act immediately, and the situation will not remain the current state.

Because of these considerations, Mu Xinyi and Tian Mi didn't dare to make the slightest move, but looking at the time bomb that kept counting down at that moment, this kind of pressure and threat was beyond their bearing, and when Ye Qiu and Hermes were deadlocked with each other, Mu Xinyi and Tian Mi were very nervous.

After all, neither Mu Xinyi nor Tian Mi had ever seen this, let alone experienced a countdown bomb placed next to Guo, but they could only watch as the time above them became less and less, and they couldn't make the slightest move.

For anyone, this is definitely an inhuman torture, even a long-standing battlefield killer like Ye Qiu subconsciously became nervous, not to mention Mu Xinyi and Tian Mi, two women who had never experienced such a scene.

But what is unpredictable is that Hermes didn't seem to care about a time bomb around him at all, staring at Ye Qiu with a flat face, as if he was very interested in Ye Qiu.

Seeing this, Ye Qiu's heart gradually sank, although on the surface he still looked like an ancient well, but in his heart he kept thinking about how to deal with it.

In case that time bomb explodes, Ye Qiu must protect the safety of Tian Mi and Mu Xinyi, this is his bottom line, and it is also his principle, no matter what Hermes's plan is today, how to target him, Ye Qiu must take the lead in ensuring the safety of Mu Xinyi and Tian Mi.

At the same time, the countdown number on the time bomb was gradually decreasing, and during the time when Ye Qiu and Hermes were in a stalemate, the time on the countdown equipment on the bomb had changed from the original thirty seconds to the last ten seconds countdown.

Seeing this, whether it was Ye Qiu, Mu Xinyi, and Tian Mi, they all suddenly became nervous, all because they were not sure how much chance they would have of surviving after the time bomb exploded.

But in this situation, Ye Qiu and they can't be allowed to think too much, just a few seconds have passed in an instant, when the countdown on the time bomb is less than five seconds. Ye Qiu was already ready to make a strong move.

But at this moment, Hermes, who had been silent, suddenly laughed, looked at Ye Qiu with interest and asked, "Aren't you curious about who my companion is?"

As soon as Hermes said this, Ye Qiu, who was still ready to take a strong move to save Mu Xinyi and Tian Mi, suddenly became nervous.

He wasn't sure what Hermes's calculations were at this time, but he didn't dare to do it rashly.

After all, if it was really like Hermes said, there was a companion of his who was nearby, it would definitely not be good news for Ye Qiu, if Ye Qiu did it at this time, not only would he not be able to save Mu Xinyi and Tian Mi, but he would also lose his life for it.

But at the same time that Ye Qiu had scruples, the countdown on the time bomb had reached the final stage, and it was about to explode, but Ye Qiu was still in the stunned stage because of Hermes's words, and he didn't have time to react at all, he just wanted to do it, and there was not enough time.

Seeing this, Ye Qiu looked away a little, although he was still a little unwilling, but he didn't say anything, while guarding the surroundings, he directly ignored the existence of Hermes, staring at the countdown on the time bomb in a daze.

"Three seconds...... Two seconds...... One second ......"

When the countdown time on that time bomb reached zero, Ye Qiu was even ready to meet the explosion wave.

Surprisingly, within a few seconds of the number on the timer going to zero, the bomb didn't mean to be detonated at all, except for the faint light of the day, which restored calm to the surroundings as if nothing had happened.

Seeing this, Ye Qiu's heart trembled suddenly, and he suddenly stepped forward without thinking, and rushed towards Hermes to hold Mu Xinyi and Tian Mi hostage.

After all, Ye Qiu didn't want to die, but now that the bomb has not detonated, it has proved a lot of problems, since the time bomb is fake, Ye Qiu naturally won't waste time, and immediately make a move on Hermes, hoping to use this short time to save Mu Xinyi and Tian Mi from Hermes.

"Bang!"

But at the same time as Ye Qiu rushed towards Hermes, a gunshot rang out in Ye Qiu's ears, making everything around him quiet again.

At the same time, Ye Qiu's action of rushing towards Hermes also suddenly froze, standing five meters away from Hermes, not daring to take a step forward.

At this time, on Ye Qiu's right arm, a penetrating wound that was bubbling with blood was impressive, and Hermes was holding a bright silver pistol in his hand, which was the initiator of the penetrating wound on Ye Qiu's arm.

Because of this, Ye Qiu didn't dare to act rashly, this was not to say that he was afraid of the pistol in Hermes's hand, but that Hermes was worried that Hermes would attack Mu Xinyi and Tian Mi.

After all, in terms of the distance between Ye Qiu and Hermes now, even he couldn't rush to Hermes's side before he shot, and Ye Qiu had not been in the habit of carrying a gun since he returned to China, which also made him even more unable to resist when facing Hermes's pistol.

"What do you want?"

Ye Qiu said, his face was already extremely difficult to see, he couldn't guess Hermes's thoughts for a while, since the bomb on Hua Yunlong's body was a dud, Ye Qiu was even more jealous of this Hermes.

But Hermes faced Ye Qiu's words, but as if nothing happened, he looked at the wound on Ye Qiu's small arm, and looked at Hua Yunlong, who was lying at his feet, and had been dead for a long time, and smiled.

"You should have known what I was going to do! I said, you only have two choices, either go back with me or die, there is no other choice, do you want to be like him, die so worthless?"

Hermes said, and glanced at Hua Yunlong who was lying at his feet, his eyes were full of mockery when he spoke, he obviously didn't have a good impression of Hua Yunlong, and even threatened Ye Qiu with Hua Yunlong's death.

After all, the current situation is very clear, although Ye Qiu doesn't know how Hermes found Hua Yunlong, he also has some conjectures about the matter between the two.

Judging from Hua Yunlong's previous behavior, he must have reached some agreement with Hermes, and it is precisely because of this that Hua Yunlong has the confidence to come over to find trouble for himself, and even ridiculously used a time bomb to threaten Mu Xinyi and Tian Mi to compromise.

It's just that I'm afraid Hua Yunlong would never have imagined that in the eyes of Hermes, he was just a ridiculous and ignorant mouse, Hermes didn't take him seriously at all, and even the time bomb provided to him was fake.

In fact, Ye Qiu was completely sure that Hua Yunlong's time bomb must have been provided by Hermes, otherwise when Hua Yunlong opened the time bomb, Hermes would not have been so calm, and he would not have turned a blind eye to Hua Yunlong's act of opening the time bomb.

In this way, Hermes's previous abnormal behavior can be explained.

If Hermes had known that the time bomb on Hua Yunlong's body was fake, it would have been replaced by anyone, and he would definitely not care whether Hua Yunlong detonated the bomb or not.

After all, the bomb was fake, even if it was ignited by Hua Yunlong, it would not pose any threat to him, so he naturally ignored it.

But after Ye Qiu figured out this, he became even more jealous of Hermes, he was frightened by the time bomb at the beginning, and now he learned that the bomb was fake, which also made Ye Qiu feel like he had been tricked by Hermes.

But even if he was unhappy with his psychology, Ye Qiu didn't dare to show it at this time, and in the face of Hermes's words, Ye Qiu only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

"Okay! I can go back with you, but you must promise me one condition!"

"Okay, I know that Ye Qiu is a person who doesn't know the times, what kind of conditions, as long as I can agree, I will definitely meet you!"

Hearing Ye Qiu's words, Hermes's eyes immediately lit up, and he agreed to Ye Qiu's conditions without thinking about it, although he did not explicitly say that he would agree to Ye Qiu no matter what the conditions, but the meaning of the words had been clearly expressed, but there was only a little leeway, so that Ye Qiu would not open his mouth widely.

"Okay! My conditions are very simple, let them go! I'll go back with you!"

Hearing Hermes's answer, Ye Qiu's heart was relieved, and in an undoubted tone, he put forward his own conditions to Hermes.

But as soon as Ye Qiu's words came out, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became tense, not only Hermes's face changed, but even Mu Xinyi and Tian Mi were taken aback by Ye Qiu's words.
