Chapter 749: Chapter 746
Resolute and perfect contours, as if every inch had to be deeply engraved in her mind, etched into her very bones, never to be forgotten.
By this time, she knew she had missed the last chance to leave; it was completely too late.
Only one minute left.
Wen Xian breathed in through her reddened nose, tears blurring her vision, and said to him hoarsely, “Lu Xiao, do you know, I regret it.”
Lu Xiao’s body stiffened.
Wen Xian, looking at him, cried even harder, tears cascading down as she sobbed uncontrollably:
“I don’t want you to do this for me; I just want you to live…”
Lu Xiao looked at the bomb in front of him, his hand with the tool stopped on the last wire, not moving any further.
He turned to Wen Xian, who was crying inconsolably, and in the depths of those cold eyes, there seemed to be extreme restraint and pain. He caressed her cheek gently before he spoke again, his voice exceptionally tender.
He said, “Wen Xian, are you really heartless enough to leave me all alone?”
Wen Xian gazed at him through tearful eyes, biting her lips tightly.
Lu Xiao glanced again at the yellow wire mixed between the blue and red ones, and slowly said to her:
“There are three wires here, and I’m not sure which is the one that will trigger the explosion. I’ve chosen this one. If there’s no explosion, then everything is over. If it explodes… I’ll always be with you, by your side, accompanying you and our child.”
Wen Xian’s tears flowed ceaselessly; she shook her head in agony:
“Lu Xiao, you are not just my husband, but also the son of your parents, and a captain. You carry so many responsibilities…”
Lu Xiao’s eyes also reddened slightly. Looking at her, he pulled a wry smile, his entire demeanor seemingly resigned yet exhausted.
His voice was husky as he said:
“Wen Xian, I’m tired, let me be selfish just this once.”
“Wen Xian, I can’t let go of you and our child.”
She bowed her head, tears breaking through once again, heart-wrenching agony, her heart felt as though it was about to split apart.
It hurt, it really hurt.
She couldn’t understand why fate had to treat them this way.
It was one thing for her, but Lu Xiao was such a good person; he had done so much good and continually dedicated himself, yet why did those who put in so much at the front lines have to bear so much hardship and difficulty?
Even just to live, was so hard.
Only ten seconds left now.
Lu Xiao aimed at the wire, looked at Wen Xian, and bowed his head to deeply kiss her between her eyebrows: “Wen Xian, I’m sorry, I love you.”
I’m sorry, I love you.
There was some movement in Wen Xian’s belly, and she clutched his clothing tightly.
In the final three seconds, Lu Xiao aimed at the wire and cut it—
A loud noise startled everyone.
The officers and Shen Lin among others turned to look back, only to see a car on the road had rear-ended theirs.
The officers rushed over as the door of the crashed vehicle opened, a disheveled figure climbing out.
Although the car was wrecked, fortunately, the person was still alive.
While the officers administered emergency aid to that person, the Captain and Shen Lin exchanged a glance, seeing an unusual expression in each other’s eyes.
“Has the time… passed?”
