Chapter 148 Life and Death Moment III
Mansur cried out in alarm, "No!"
"What...what are you going to do? No...don't be impulsive, I'll let you go, okay?"
Her subordinates behind her tried to step forward to stop her, but were deterred by a dangerous glare from Luo Tingwei. She then shouted sharply at them.
"Are you all suicide bombers? Look closely, I'm holding the switch for explosives. If I press it, I, Mansour, and all of you will die. If you know what's good for you, get out of here now. This has nothing to do with you. If anyone's not afraid of death, come on!"
Her words immediately intimidated them. The bodyguards looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't dare to go any further.
Li Yanzhou said in a deep voice, "Weiwei, don't be impulsive. Give me the remote control. Don't worry, we can all get out of here alive."
Luo Tingwei met his eyes and smiled sadly, "It's no use. He's set up a lot of traps outside. No one knows how to get out except him and his men. Li Yanzhou, listen to me, go out with them quickly. I... I'm almost out of strength."
Mansur struggled desperately, but Luo Tingwei seemed to be on drugs, possessing immense strength, and held him firmly, dragging him away to prevent him from moving forward.
"Listen up, everyone. I'm going to detonate the explosives in one minute. You'd better get him out of here right now, or I'll press the switch right now."
Upon hearing this, the bodyguards panicked, fearing she would detonate the explosives. They rushed forward to hold Li Yanzhou back and tried to drag him outside.
"Master Li, if you're going to die, don't take us with you! Come with us, we just want to live!"
The bodyguards spoke with tearful voices, almost begging him.
Li Yanzhou struggled desperately to break free from the pulls, the words almost escaping his throat, his voice heartbreaking.
"Luo Tingwei, give me the remote control. Be good, give it to me now!"
After saying that, he strode forward and tried to snatch the remote control from her hand.
"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer! I can't hold him down any longer. If I let him go, he won't let us go. You and I will both die."
“Li Yanzhou, I’m sorry. Without me, you wouldn’t be here. You were willing to put yourself in danger for me, but I… I even had the thought of killing you. I deserve to die.”
"I'm sorry, I was so cowardly. If only I had confessed my feelings to you openly back then, our ending would have been completely different..."
Suddenly, she made a feint and tossed the remote control far away, and Li Yanzhou went to catch it.
Just then, she shouted, "Go!! Hurry up!"
Mansur's men were cunning. Seeing that Mansur was about to die and that the outside might be full of Li Yanzhou's men, they quickly came over in twos and threes, grabbed Li Yanzhou, and fled outside in order to survive.
"Luo Tingwei, what are you doing! No! No!"
Li Yanzhou's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared at her like a madman, desperately reaching out to grab her, but the bodyguards held him tightly and wouldn't let go.
"Luo Tingwei! Please don't go crazy!! I'm begging you!"
As Li Yanzhou watched her figure grow smaller and smaller, further and further away, he tried to reach out and grab her, but he couldn't catch her at all.
Seeing him finally emerge from the factory, Luo Tingwei's already blurred eyes curved into a smile of relief, and she murmured to herself,
"You saved my life, so I'm returning it to you. From now on, live a good life."
Goodbye, Li Yanzhou, I love you.
However, after five seconds, the explosion button was pressed.
...
...
...
A huge explosion rang out, and soon, flames engulfed everything.
In an instant, the bell rang, dong, dong, dong.
It's past midnight.
A powerful green light pierced the night sky like a waterfall.
Li Yanzhou was pinned to the ground.
A scorching blast of air hit him, causing a sharp pain in his eardrums. The world went silent for a moment, leaving only violent vibrations and blinding white light.
The factory building collapsed.
After an unknown amount of time, he raised his head blankly, staring at everything before him, his head throbbing with pain.
A profound sense of disconnect swept through his entire brain.
In that instant, he almost died.
Looking at the ruins before him, when he realized what had happened, for the first time in his life, he couldn't even cry.
"Luo Tingwei—!"
A few seconds later, the man practically ripped the sound out of his throat.
There was no response.
There was nothing there.
The bodyguards were scattered and rolled by the explosion, and the scene was in chaos, but he seemed to have all his strength drained away, frozen in place, his eyes fixed on the burning ruins.
She was just standing there.
She was still smiling at him.
Let him go.
But now, all that's left is a patch of fire.
His breathing became rapid, as if his chest had been completely emptied.
It hurts...it hurts so much, it hurts to the bone.
...
And at this moment, beneath the ruins.
Luo Tingwei couldn't hear anything.
The moment the explosion occurred, she felt an irresistible force throw her violently away from her spot. The next second, her body slammed heavily against the cold metal edge, and she lost consciousness.
Darkness surged in like a tide, completely engulfing her.
She dreamed that she had fallen into an unknown space.
It was all dark, and she was terrified.
Something seems to be playing on the screen in front of me.
She squinted, and then realized it was her whole life.
She looked at it intently, and tears streamed down her face without her realizing it.
Just then, a witch walked towards her.
His face was full of wrinkles, yet it radiated kindness.
"Good boy."
The witch stroked her head and said, "From this day forward, all your suffering will end."
"Go live a good life with the person you love."
She looked at the newcomer with a puzzled expression.
Barbara smiled slightly, raised her hand, and gently touched her forehead with her fingertips.
"A cycle of fifty years."
"When the time comes, everything will start anew."
In that instant, the darkness suddenly shattered.
Luo Tingwei felt as light as a feather, her body dissipating and melting away...
Barbara watched the woman's figure gradually disappear before her, a slight smile playing on her lips, as if she were murmuring to herself.
"In fact, some bonds are beyond the reach of even magic."
But you have already crossed its boundaries.
It's not that I'm letting you go, it's that even magic itself can't keep you.
Therefore, I choose to grant your wish.
**
A violent cough suddenly ripped the deathly silence apart.
Luo Tingwei felt a sharp pain in her chest, as if she had been forcibly pulled out of deep water, her throat filled with the taste of blood and choking dust.
She suddenly opened her eyes, but her vision was so blurry that she could only see a blur of light and shadow.
"Here! There are signs of life over here!"
...
Li Yanzhou lost control at that shout.
He stumbled forward, not even noticing his knees slamming into the ground, his fingers trembling uncontrollably.
"Get out of the way—"
His voice was extremely hoarse, and every word sounded like it was stained with blood.
When that face, covered in dust and bloodstains, appeared under the light, he seemed frozen in place.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still.
She lay there, pale-faced, breathing faintly, yet undeniably present.
It's not a hallucination.
It wasn't a figment of his imagination when he was in despair and went mad.
“...Weiwei.”
He knelt beside her, his outstretched hand hovering in mid-air, hesitant to touch her, as if she would shatter if he did.
Until her eyelashes trembled very slightly.
The next second, he couldn't hold on any longer.
Li Yanzhou bent down and carefully pulled her into his arms, his forehead touching her temple, his shoulders and back trembling uncontrollably.
That was the first time in his life that he cried without any dignity.
“Luo Tingwei…”
“Luo Tingwei…”
"I don't want anything anymore..."
