Chapter 147 Life and Death Moment II

Mansour looked at her with some confusion. "Hold me?"

Luo Tingwei nodded and smiled, "Yes, Uncle. I am very grateful to you for taking me out of this misery."

Mansur pondered for a moment, then agreed.

Luo Tingwei hugged him, carefully feeling every inch of the details, and firmly remembering how to hug him the tightest.

She hugged him and whispered in his ear, "Guess what else I hate most in this life besides being forced?"

Mansour stiffened, taken aback by her sudden words.

He asked, "What is it?"

She spoke almost directly into his ear, enunciating each word clearly, "Yes, betrayal."

Mansur trembled and looked at her in disbelief.

"Little niece, what are you saying?"

"It's nothing, Uncle. It's just that if I said I didn't want to go now, would you agree?"

Mansur's voice hardened noticeably, "Little niece, we can't afford to fail now that we've come this far. Li Yanzhou will only show himself if he sees you."

"Look at you, you said you wouldn't force me, but in the end..."

Luo Tingwei jokingly made a remark, but thought the rest of the sentence to herself.

In the end, you want to take my life too.

It doesn't matter.

"Little niece, at a time like this, please think about the bigger picture, okay? Don't you want to secure your own future? Don't you want to avenge Nina?"

Luo Tingwei smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

She knew that from the very beginning, when she was abducted, she had no choice.

"Come on, get in the car, let's go see him together."

Mansour opened the car door for her himself, and after watching her get in, he got in as well.

The car sped away and disappeared into the inky blue polar night.

Inside an abandoned factory building.

Li Yanzhou arrived earlier than them.

His tall and slender figure stood alone in the huge factory, still looking heroic and imposing.

Luo Tingwei's hands were tied as she got out of the car with Mansur.

Mansour walked ahead, leading her into the factory.

Her hands were behind her back, subtly moving as she closely watched the man's every move.

Inside the factory, Li Yanzhou heard footsteps and slowly turned around.

In an instant, their eyes met.

Like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting, Luo Tingwei's pupils suddenly contracted, and she involuntarily took a step back.

The scene shifts, and scenes from five years ago flash through her mind.

San Francisco, USA.

Inside the club, the night blended with the water, creating undulating ripples and rolling waves. The man's decisive figure resembled a knife plunged into the deep sea.

As it turned over to breathe, water droplets slid down its chin, and the muscles in its shoulders and back rippled underwater, their lines sharply and smoothly outlined by the shimmering water.

Luo Tingwei came to her senses.

My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to jump out of my chest.

It was him.

It was him.

She couldn't be mistaken. Five years had passed; she had longed for him for five years. His face was already firmly etched in her mind.

But, but... why is he here?

Could it be that...

She realized something, and her heart felt like it had been hit hard. Suddenly, she started breathing heavily.

"Li Yanzhou, you've finally shown yourself."

Before she could react, Mansour beside her spoke first, "Look carefully, your woman is in my hands."

Luo Tingwei's eyes darkened; as expected, her suspicions had been confirmed.

She suddenly burst into laughter, completely losing her composure.

Laughing at how ridiculous I am.

It turns out that the person I've been longing for all these years has always been right beside her.

I actually... I actually wanted him to die... I deserve to die.

It's her who deserves to die, it's Luo Tingwei who deserves to die.

How long will God keep toying with her?

As Luo Tingwei smiled, a tear rolled down her cheek. She stared intently into his eyes, which were bloodshot.

"It's you... It's actually you! You're Li Yanzhou! I never expected this..."

Seeing that something was wrong with her, Li Yanzhou was startled. "What's wrong? Weiwei, don't be afraid, I'll get you out of here."

“I remember you, I remember everything.”

Her lips trembled. "It's you. Five years ago, I saw you at the swimming club. I liked you, I had a crush on you, I secretly watched you... I remember now, I finally remember."

Li Yanzhou stared at her blankly, his throat bobbing suddenly. "What did you say? Say it again."

Do you know?

Luo Tingwei's lips moved, she was both crying and laughing, and she spoke in a hoarse voice.

"The Long Island Iced Tea at that bar is terrible and overpriced. I sit there every afternoon just to steal a glance at you."

"I still remember that afternoon... I deliberately stood by the deep end, and deliberately fell into the water when you appeared. I just hoped that you would come to save me, and thankfully, you really did come to save me..."

"Li Yanzhou, so your name is Li Yanzhou..."

"So that's your name."

Tears completely blurred her vision. Her lips trembled as she murmured to herself, recalling each and every detail, as if counting the years she had missed.

Suddenly, as if realizing something, she screamed at him frantically.

"Li Yanzhou, don't come any closer! Please don't come any closer! He wants us all to die! He planted explosives in my clothes! He never intended for us to leave alive!"

"You run! You get out of here! Don't worry about me, run as far away as you can!"

Upon hearing this, Mansur jumped up, grabbed her, and pulled her towards the man in front of them, his tone suddenly turning ferocious.

"Alright! Since you already know, I won't hide it from you anymore. That's right, neither of you will escape today."

"I don't care what happened between you two, don't act so affectionate in front of me, it's disgusting. Since you're so in love, then go to the underworld and be a pair of ghost lovers, hahaha..."

Mansour burst into unrestrained laughter.

Suddenly, the man pulled a remote control from his pocket. "That's right, the switch for the explosives is on me. As soon as I press this switch, everything will be over."

Veins bulged on Li Yanzhou's forehead. "Think it through. Once you press the switch, you won't be able to escape either."

Mansour smiled smugly, "Look behind you."

A group of bodyguards in black were gradually approaching when Mansour burst into arrogant laughter, "This factory is your coffin. I will trap you inside and let you die together..."

He figured that with Luo Tingwei's hands tied behind her back, she was completely powerless, and Li Yanzhou had come alone. He knew that Li Yanzhou would be outnumbered and Li Yanzhou would try to rescue her. He would then leave first, trap them here, and then press the switch.

At that time, it will all be over...

However, at that moment, Luo Tingwei suddenly broke free from her restraints and ran towards Mansur like a madwoman, clinging tightly to him.

She hugged his waist tightly, knowing that it made it difficult for him to exert force, and could restrain him as tightly as possible. At the same time, she took advantage of his unpreparedness and snatched the remote control from his hand.

Before Mansour could even ponder how she had broken free, he suddenly understood what her morning hug meant.

She was rehearsing.

The next second, he heard her speak, word by word, in his ear.

"I've said it before, besides coercion, the thing I hate most in this life is betrayal..."

"But it doesn't matter—"

"I've already calculated it for you, Mansour. In this round, it won't be him who's going to be buried, it will be you."
