Lin Chuchu wasn't sure if the other party would really detonate the bomb, nor was she sure if she could survive.

However, she could clearly sense that her comrades around her were closely watching her situation.

She was no longer so flustered at this point, and quietly leaned back in her chair, continuing to flip through the book in her hands.

"You don't seem afraid?"

Lin Chuchu shook her head. "No, I'm scared, but I know my comrades won't let me die."

The woman remained silent for a while before suddenly speaking.

"You're quite confident."

It wasn't confidence, but trust; she felt she could trust her country and her comrades.

The woman couldn't help but laugh. "Ten seconds left. Take one last look at the world. The fireworks are about to start."

Lin Chuchu's heart tightened, but her expression remained unchanged as she looked at the book. The familiar words seemed to have turned into a bunch of scribbles, and she couldn't understand a single word.

It's as if it's saying, "You're dead, you're dead."

Lin Chuchu could clearly hear her own heartbeat.

People say that on their deathbed, people will think back on everything that happened in their life.

And right now, she's thinking about being reborn, about meeting Mu Chen, about her family and her two children.

She thought that her rebirth was without regret, but there was still regret: she couldn't be with Mu Chen forever, and she couldn't watch her two children grow up.

Her hand, which was resting under the book, slowly clenched, and her eyes gradually became vacant.

Just then, a woman's voice came from beside him, "Three...two...one..."

A gunshot rang out, but the sound was very faint because it was silenced. If she hadn't been so close, she wouldn't have heard it at all.

Lin Chuchu hesitated for a moment, then turned back to look at the woman. The woman's eyes widened, her face frozen in disbelief.

Lin Chuchu thought that the other person's disbelief was probably because they were wondering why it hadn't exploded.

The woman who wanted to drag everyone in the waiting hall to their deaths died with resentment in her eyes.

"Comrade Lin, Comrade Lin, are you alright?"

Yang Xiao waved his hand in front of Lin Chuchu's eyes. Lin Chuchu shook her head and gradually looked away. "I'm fine."

"Sorry, we were aware of this beforehand, but we didn't expect the other party to go to this extent. We've brought a psychologist with us; would you like to receive some counseling?"

Lin Chuchu quickly shook her head; having undergone psychological counseling, she never wanted to see a therapist again.

"Don't worry, I'm really fine, I'm not affected, the mission can continue."

She wasn't angry about why the other person didn't tell her; she knew it was to better protect herself.

The woman was carried away without attracting anyone's attention.

Seeing her like this, Yang Xiao knew that she was really alright.

Before he came, the captain told him a lot about Lin Chuchu in order to help him cooperate better with her.

His first impression of Lin Chuchu was...

A woman who is calm enough to cooperate with them to get the job done.

Yang Xiao handed her a bottle of beverage and two oranges, which Lin Chuchu quietly accepted and slowly drank.

It was almost time to board, and nothing unusual happened during that time.

Lin Chuchu had flown several times, so it wasn't anything new for her. She would just sleep when she got tired.

When Lin Chuchu opened her eyes again, she realized she had gone to bed too early; the plane hadn't even arrived at its destination yet.

Sitting for too long was uncomfortable, so Lin Chuchu shifted her body slightly.

Yang Xiao woke up almost the instant Lin Chuchu opened her eyes.

"You're awake? Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

Lin Chuchu shook her head.

"I'm not hungry, I'm just a little tired from sitting for so long. Sorry for waking you up."

Yang Xiao said with a smile, "I woke up a long time ago. I've always been a light sleeper."

The two were not very familiar with each other, and the plane was a bit dark, so they didn't know what to talk about. After a few words, Lin Chuchu closed her eyes to rest again.

Once the plane lands, that's the battlefield; you'll likely have to stay on edge the whole time.

The plane finally arrived, and the two men had just landed when they were stopped by heavily armed foreign soldiers.

The man in the lead asked Lin Chuchu, "Hello, you must be Comrade Lin? To prevent you from bringing anything you shouldn't, we need to conduct an inspection. Please cooperate with our work."

The man's cold eyes were filled with disdain and arrogance. He knew perfectly well that Lin Chuchu was the one who was making things difficult for her.

Lin Chuchu remained calm and composed, showing no sign of embarrassment or anger.

He stepped aside, revealing the box behind him. Yang Xiao still had that carefree attitude, a smile on his face, and occasionally leaned in to say a few words to the police officers.

There was nothing special in the suitcase, just a few clothes, and not even any extra snacks.

The other party clearly didn't want to let her go, and said with a serious expression, "Comrade Lin, a theft has occurred at the airport. Our police suspect you know something about it. Please come with us."

Lin Chuchu almost rolled her eyes. So, they were just going to take her away?

Yang Xiao silently stayed by her side. From the moment they got into the car until they arrived at the police station, the two of them did not exchange a single word.

No one asked any questions, no one paid any attention to them, and Lin Chuchu was simply locked in a small, dark room.

There were no windows or beds in the room, only a chair.

Seeing that the other party was about to close the door, Lin Chuchu couldn't help but say, "What are you doing? This is house arrest. I have identification and a passport. You can't treat me like this."

It was the same male police officer who glanced at Lin Chuchu from head to toe.

With her chin held high, she asked, "Do you have any evidence?"
