Hai Xiaotang stared at the red numbers on the bomb, her mind buzzing in disbelief.
She remained motionless, rigidly frozen in place.
Looking around at the other hostages, Hai Xiaotang struggled to find her voice, “Run, there’s going to be an explosion…”
The hostages didn’t even have time to untie their ropes, they just tumbled and crawled towards the exit.
Tears welled up in Hai Xiaotang’s eyes.
She was going to die soon…
In her previous life, she died full of regrets. In this life, she fought desperately to survive – but was she never able to escape her fate?
Why couldn’t she have a good life?
Just as Hai Xiaotang was overwhelmed with despair, a tall figure suddenly rushed in!
Dongfang Yu rushed in without any regard for his own safety.
He only wanted to check if Hai Xiaotang was inside and if she was hurt.
But he did not expect to be met with the sight of a bomb tied to her chest!
Dongfang Yu’s pupils shrank at the sight of the countdown, a few tens of seconds left, draining the blood from his face.
Looking at Dongfang Yu, Hai Xiaotang trembled, “Tell my grandfather that 1 won’t be able to honour him anymore. Tell him not to grieve, to live on well…”
“You’re the one who needs to live!”
Without blinking, Dongfang Yu sprinted toward her, training his eyes on the bomb while taking out his Swiss knife.
Realizing his intention, Hai Xiaotang exclaimed, “What are you doing? It’s about to blow up, get out of here!”
“Shut up!” Dongfang Yu snapped without taking his eyes off the bomb.
There were less than 20 seconds left before detonation.
Hai Xiaotang was so tense that her body had crawled into a rigid shape.
Fine sweat had started forming on Dongfang Yu’s forehead.
Everyone else had escaped, even the police were keeping their distance, afraid to get close.
“Mr. Dongfang, please leave. This isn’t your problem, it’s a police matter. The bomb is about to explode, leave now!” A leader ran over to pull him away.
Dongfang Yu violently shoved him off, a horrifyingly chilling look on his face, “Nobody come near!”
Hai Xiaotang was stunned, as were the others.
Was he really going to risk his life?
He was Dongfang Yu, his life was more valuable than anyone else’s. He should escape right now.
Even if he didn’t, it wouldn’t do any good, he didn’t know how to disarm a bomb.
Just as Hai Xiaotang was trying to tell him to leave, Dongfang Yu suddenly grabbed a red wire. Seemingly undeterred by his inexperience, he swiftly used his knife to cut it!
He did it so quickly, no one had time to react.
Hai Xiaotang was so scared her face went pale!
Then, in this life-and-death moment, a miracle occurred!
The bomb didn’t explode. The countdown froze at the last 5 seconds.
Relaxing the tension in her body, Hai Xiaotang almost fainted.
But Dongfang Yu didn’t let up, he quickly started working to free her from the bomb.
No sooner had Hai Xiaotang escaped death, she was petrified once again!
Because the countdown had started again!
Tick. Four seconds left.
Tick. Three seconds left…
Tick. One second left…
“Bang—” In the last second, Dongfang Yu threw the bomb away and shielded Hai Xiaotang with his body as they fell to the ground.
It took a while for Hai Xiaotang to regain her senses.
She slowly opened her eyes. In the darkness, she saw the man’s chest.
Dongfang Yu held her tightly, completely covering her petite body in his safe embrace.
However, Dongfang Yu himself remained immobile, seemingly devoid of breath.
Hai Xiaotang’s eyes flickered, opening her hoarse voice, “Dongfang Yu….”
