“Tsk tsk, with that face of yours, I’m afraid no one would think that you’re gullible!”, Jiang Tingxu thought.
Suddenly...
Jiang Tingxu frowned, and her gaze directly shifted to the two white Regal.
Some things had long been engraved into her bones.
For example, the sound of a ticking time bomb before it was about to explode:
Beep... beep... beep...
When she heard the end of the last beep suddenly stretch out, it was like a battle cry. Jiang Tingxu’s subconscious reaction was to pounce on the man next to her:
“Get down!” She shouted at the same time.
When the bodyguards heard it, their bodies reacted faster than their brains.
One... two... when the silent countdown reached the third second, a violent explosion exploded with a ‘bang’.
The entire ground shook.
Everyone’s ears were almost deafened by the explosion and were full of buzzing noises.
It was only after the explosion had passed for some time that there was a slight movement. At that moment, almost everyone (those who were still alive) was knocked out.
MO Boyuan was the first to recover. Naturally, he also remembered everything that happened before the explosion.
He got up very slowly. His twisted arm was numb from pain as he hugged the body of the woman who was on top of him.
With great difficulty, he flipped over and sat on the ground. He patted his face to maintain his consciousness. Then, completely ignoring the injuries on his body:
“Honey, can you open your eyes and look at me?” His voice was very soft and hoarse. The shockwave from the explosion may have injured it. He reached out his hand to touch the person in his arms, but he did not dare to touch her.
He was worried that the person in his arms would shatter if he touched her.
“Xuxu?”
He called pleadingly.
Jiang Tingxu finally woke up slowly. Her eyelids moved a few times before she finally opened her eyes with difficulty:
“Cough, MO Boyuan, are you okay?” Her throat was very dry and hoarse. Every time she made a sound, there was a splitting pain.
Her fair and smooth face was covered in dried blood, and her shoulder-length hair had been burnt to the point that she looked like a shaggy dog. Even her legs were burning with pain.
But even so, she was very, very lucky.
After all, she was still alive!
When the man heard his wife’s voice, he said,
“I’m alright. I’ll bring you out of here first.”
The fire was about to spread towards them. This was not a place to stay for long. After standing up, she finally realized that the man’s injuries were not light.
“Hiss... ”
The pain made him suck in a breath of cold air.
“What’s wrong? You must be injured. Let me take a look.”
The man used the only arm that he could move to stop the woman:
“Let’s leave this place first.”
It was not a severe problem as long as he was not dead.
However, if he waited for the fire to spread over, whether he could avoid it or not was a huge problem!
Seeing this, Jiang Tingxu could only agree.
The two of them supported each other while the man dragged one of his legs as he walked.
It was not easy to reach a safe zone. A few bodyguards were not seriously injured and could still move for the time being. They dragged their companions who were severely injured or had almost lost their life as they moved towards the same area.
Even one of the two people in the Regal, who had already stopped breathing and was only left with half of his bod, was also dragged a step at a time by the bodyguards.
“Boss, Madam, I’m sorry. It was our mistake this time.”
The leader of the bodyguards said in a very pained manner. How could he not feel pained when four of his companions whom he had spent every day with were gone just like that?
However, in summary, the purpose of the bodyguards was to protect the life and safety of the employer. But now, their Boss and Madam were obviously injured, and their injuries were not light at all.
In conculsion, the bodyguards did not do a good job, and did not detect the presence of danger in the first place..
