Chapter 107 Forty Seconds...

Ji Wanwan's heart clenched. She didn't want to see Kolov do anything for her, didn't want him to abandon his noble pride, and didn't want to see him in such a sorry state.

She didn't want to...

But reality is so cruel.

Kolov could have chosen not to come and save her, so why did he come and get himself into this state?

Unable to make a sound, she could only shake her head at him, wanting him to leave quickly.

If he hadn't come, perhaps they wouldn't have attacked her.

Kolov smiled at her, a smirk playing on his lips: "Wanwan, I'll take you away."

This was his oversight; he failed to protect Ji Wanwan, otherwise this situation wouldn't have occurred.

Seeing this, Sofia clapped her hands: "How touching! In that case, let's play a game."

In the distance, a bodyguard led a person towards this direction. The person's head was covered by a black cloth, so it was impossible to tell who it was.

He walked with an aged gait and a slow pace, only being pushed along faster by his bodyguards.

Ji Wanwan's eyes widened suddenly, her shoulders struggling to break free from the rope's restraints. She wanted to call for her grandmother, but could only let out soft sobs.

If others can't tell who it is, surely she can too?

The bodyguards didn't come closer, but made Si Shu stop five meters away.

"Come on, choose someone to go to hell with you." Sophia stood aside watching the show, a smirk playing on her lips.

Kolov frowned. He had never met Si Shu and did not know who she was, but Ji Wanwan kept hinting that she should choose him.

This shows that the man is very important to her, but Kolov doesn't want to...

"Your target is me. Aren't you afraid that if you go through all this trouble, I won't die and will instead kill you all?" he sneered.

"Don't worry, brother, we'll take you with us even when we die."

Sovach was extremely annoyed. What could have been resolved quickly was instead a matter of seeing Kolov's dignity being dragged through the mud.

"I'll give you three seconds, or I'll make the choice for you," he urged. He couldn't wait any longer; he was afraid things might change if he delayed any longer.

He wanted to play it safe...

The gun barrel tightened, and Ji Wanwan tilted her head to one side. She looked at Kolov, nodding repeatedly, her chin pointing at her, urging him to choose her.

Grandma is innocent, and she doesn't want her to get involved.

She had just thought Si Shu was dead, and that meant she might not be able to go on living either.

Her grandmother was the person she loved most. Now that her grandmother is dead, there is no point in Ji Wanwan living. Everything she did before was just to give the two of them a better life.

But she also dragged her grandmother into trouble...

Even if someone has to die, it should be her, not her grandmother.

Blood kept gushing from Kolov's thigh. He tore open the fabric of his trouser leg and used it to bandage the wound to stop the bleeding.

He ignored Ji Wanwan's hint and pointed to the figure in the distance.

"she……"

Ji Wanwan kept kicking her feet against the ground, her whole body stiff, and she let out intermittent sobs.

don't want……

She didn't want her grandmother to die!

Her wrists, bound behind her back, were marked with red welts from the rough hemp rope. She struggled incessantly, and her delicate skin was already broken.

"That was exactly what I expected."

The next second, a silver-gray metal shell was placed in Si Shu's pocket. Kolov saw that it was a miniature bomb.

The bodyguards around them dispersed at that moment.

The ticking sound echoed in the empty space, and Ji Wanwan's heart grew cold. She could no longer distinguish between tears and sweat on her face.

“Forty seconds,” Sofia laughed.

Immediately, disregarding the wound on his thigh, Kolov sprinted towards Si Shu, so fast that Ji Wanwan could only see a blur.

He knew this was a very important person to Ji Wanwan, and he had to save her, even if it was very dangerous.

Sofia casually untied the rag from Ji Wanwan's mouth, and she and Sovachi retreated outside the iron gate, preparing to leave.

"grandmother!"

Ji Wanwan's voice was filled with despair and extremely hoarse.

Upon hearing Ji Wanwan's cries, Kolov's heart raced. He quickly pulled out the miniature explosive and, without even having time to remove the black cloth from her, ran in the opposite direction.

He didn't know the power of the bomb, but he knew he had to stay away from Ji Wanwan, or she would get hurt.

Kolov knew the countdown was useless; the real trigger was in their hands.

But he just wanted to get as far away from Ji Wanwan as possible...

He said he would give his life for her.

"The timing was perfect."

Sophia, standing at the door, was about to press the remote control in her hand when Ji Wanwan saw it and realized it was a trap. She shouted at Kolov.

"Throw it away!"

"Koloff, get rid of it right now!"

He'll die if we don't throw him away...

The miniature explosive detonated right in front of Kolov as he threw it.

The flames suddenly exploded, producing a deafening roar. The sheet metal on the factory building trembled, and the dust on the cement floor was blown away.

Ji Wanwan's mind went blank for a moment as she watched helplessly as Kolov was slammed against the metal sheet by the enormous impact and then fell to the ground.

His sandy golden hair was burned down to just the roots, the rest of it had turned black, and his body was a bloody mess.

Blood kept flowing from the back of his head...

After realizing what was happening, Ji Wanwan struggled incessantly, knocking over the wooden chair as she struggled, and kept wriggling her body towards him.

Don't die...

"Korlov, you can't die! I haven't forgiven you yet! I won't let you die!"

She crawled toward him little by little, her knees scraping against the small pebbles on the concrete. Her floral dress was already torn, and her knees were red.

But the factory was huge, and Kolov had to run a long way before she could get there.

Neither she nor Si Shu were affected, but Ji Wanwan felt that he was about to die...

"Korlov, I've told you I don't want your life, your life is worthless to me..."

"Even if you die, I will never forgive what you did to me. I want you to live!"

But no one responded to her; only her constant sobbing and shouting filled the factory.

Kolov lay there motionless and did not respond to her.

Why is this happening?!

She just wanted a peaceful life; her life had been unlucky enough already.

When will that unlucky guy finally stop being unlucky...?

It seems... there's no end in sight.

Just like now, she has been climbing for a very long time, but she still can't reach Kolov's position.

Sofia stood at the iron gate, her red lips curled up; it seemed Kolov was doomed.

Ananda was rushing towards them from afar, while Gu Qingci's helicopter hovered in the air.

Not only them, but also the police who are on their way.

Even though it's in the suburbs, the commotion is quite significant.

Gu Qingci stood at the airplane door, feeling increasingly uneasy. He followed Ji Wanwan shortly after she left.

But they couldn't find him. The investigation revealed that he had been taken away. They arrived just in time to hear the roar of an explosion.

Gu Qingci saw Sophia and rushed in the direction she had left. He wouldn't let anyone who dared to kidnap Ji Wanwan get away with it.

The gun in his hand was aimed at her leg, and Sophia glanced back at Gu Qingci, her red lips curving into a smile.

The two were well-prepared, but in the end they still managed to escape.

As Sophia left, she glanced at Gu Qingci one last time. The man who shone so brightly in her eyes was the one she wanted…
