Chapter 750: Chapter 747
The police captain asked.
Shen Lin looked at his own watch, then realized something and quickly grabbed the high-powered binoculars to peer in the direction where Lu Xiao and Wen Xian were.
However, upon looking, he froze for a good while, and when he finally lowered the binoculars, his eyes were reddened, his head bowed, yet a slight smile tugged at the corners of his lips.
He raised his hand to wipe the moisture from the corners of his eyes.
Then, to the police captain’s astonishment and with a glimmer of hope for a miracle, he cursed under his breath, “Damn, that’s my brother!”
The police captain hurriedly grabbed the binoculars for a look and saw…
The two people embracing tightly.
A few minutes earlier.
Wen Xian had been waiting for that terrifying moment to strike, clutching his clothes tightly, her head resting against his shoulder, holding her breath.
But that unbearably painful and intense second, two seconds, three seconds, and nearly ten seconds passed, and still, nothing happened.
Yet she remained motionless, feeling as if time had stretched and expanded.
Finally, she heard Lu Xiao seem to call out her name.
She thought she was hallucinating, until Lu Xiao slowly created distance between them and looked down at her intently.
Wen Xian met his gaze, and it seemed as though only in that moment did she suddenly realize something, her eyes widening slightly.
“It didn’t, explode…?”
There was no explosion…? Did he really cut the right wire…?
Wen Xian’s heart trembled faintly, she could hardly believe what was unfolding before her, and she dared not speak out loud.
It was then that her heart began to race.
Lu Xiao, looking down, checked the bomb before finally laughing.
Lu Xiao rarely smiled, always maintaining a poker face, but now, as he looked back at Wen Xian, a slight smile lifted the corners of his lips.
“It seems, God still looks after us.”
Wen Xian covered her mouth, tears sliding down her cheeks.
Although Lu Xiao smiled, after he glanced at the bomb and then behind them, the circles of his eyes reddened further, and when he looked back at Wen Xian, he couldn’t help but grasp her hand tighter, lifting it to his lips.
He kissed it gently, then couldn’t resist pressing it against his cheek.
His eyelashes fluttered, and as his eyelids drooped, hot tears fell into the spaces between her fingers.
They scorched her hand and her heart.
Her tears fell uncontrollably once more.
At this moment, silence was louder than words.
Police officers bustled about, and the bomb squad arrived to take away the now harmless bomb.
Li Zaijun already knew everything was fine when Shen Lin told her; realizing this, she froze for a moment, her eyes welling up with tears as she asked him, was it true.
She still couldn’t believe it until Shen Lin showed her the time and let her see her brother and sister-in-law, safe and sound in the distance.
At that moment, Li Zaijun, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, let her tears fall even more fiercely, sobbing as she prepared to go to them.
But just as she was about to run over, someone grabbed her, pulling her into an embrace.
Shen Lin held her tightly in his arms.
For a moment, he didn’t speak, just holding her tightly, one hand firmly gripping her small waist.
Indeed, he too had been terrified, from the moment he found out she had been held hostage as well.
Feeling her sobs and the slight trembling of her shoulders, Shen Lin slowly created distance between them—
