Toward the end, she couldn’t help but scream out loud.
If they didn’t leave now, it would really be too late.
She didn’t want anything to happen to him, really didn’t, and couldn’t bear the thought.
But just after her words fell, the previously silent Lu Xiao finally spoke.
His lips moved, uttering, "Wen Xian, stop talking, I won’t leave."
No matter what, he wouldn’t leave. His beloved wife was here, his two children were here; he would never abandon them and leave on his own.
Upon hearing this, Wen Xian’s emotions completely collapsed.
Just as she was about to struggle, Lu Xiao grabbed her first and said to her, "Wen Xian, trust me, I can defuse the bomb. You won’t get hurt, and neither will the children. Just give me a little more time."
Wen Xian felt as if the tight string in her mind was about to snap, with just over two minutes remaining.
She knew that defusing such a complex and precise bomb was simply impossible. The chance of cutting the detonation wire was too slim, and if cut incorrectly, both she and Lu Xiao would——
It was a scene she did not want to see, nor could she accept.
But she also didn’t dare to move, as that would only cause things to happen sooner.
And as Lu Xiao was defusing the bomb, when the distant vehicles arrived, they all stopped after encountering Li Zaijun.
Shen Lin, upon seeing the girl collapsed on the roadside, crying and breaking down, hurriedly got out of the car and rushed over.
"Xiaojun, Xiaojun...!"
When Li Zaijun heard his voice, she slowly looked up at him, her eyes frighteningly red and swollen from crying. Her tearful eyes were filled with despair and pain.
"What happened? Are you okay? What about them?"
Shen Lin knew she had been abducted along with Wen Xian.
Lu Xiao had already hurried over.
And what about them now?
Hearing his question, Li Zaijun’s emotions collapsed even further. She could no longer hold back her sobs and began crying loudly, desperately grasping his clothes and shaking her head as she cried:
"It’s too late, it’s too late. Sister-in-law has a bomb on her, and brother is by her side..."
Her cries were intermittent, and her voice became blurry.
But as she said this, Shen Lin was also stunned, his eyes widening.
In the following vehicles that quickly got word of the short time before the bomb would explode, they couldn’t move forward either.
A policeman pulled out a high-powered telescope, clearly able to see their situation.
But in such a brief moment, they were powerless, only falling into a deathly silent stillness, the atmosphere oppressively tense to the extreme, every person clenching their fists tightly, staring into the distance.
With grim faces, the sight was daunting.
Seeing that there was just over one minute left, Shen Lin’s heart was about to break.
He, kneeling on the ground, punched the earth, his eyes raging.
No matter what, he had to capture the mastermind, make sure they met with an unmarked grave!!!
And in this brief moment of a minute or more...
Facing the imminent, massive explosion, tears uncontrollably slipped from the corners of Wen Xian’s eyes, rolling down, and what she swallowed between her lips was pure bitterness.
She remained silent, gazing at Lu Xiao, as if trying to imprint his features deeply in her mind.
The sleek brows, the chilly eyes, the lofty nose bridge, the sharp lips...
