"There are still eight floors left. You two will search in pairs. Report to the walkie-talkie as soon as you find anyone! If you don't find anyone on your assigned floor, evacuate the building immediately and move to the parking area."
Lan Jingyan made arrangements for her subordinates present.
He was prepared to die alongside Yan Xiluo... but he couldn't let his men die with them; they still had bright futures ahead of them, and families to support...
Upon receiving the instructions, everyone began their operation.
They all knew Zhang Xinxin could only be in this building, otherwise Ah Mao wouldn't have said those things! None of them could escape...
Only the floors above the eleventh floor haven't been checked yet. Yan Xiluo's intuition told her that Zhang Xinxin was on the roof! She ran to the roof as fast as she could without hesitation.
Lan Jingyan and Li Shaochuan quickly followed Yan Xiluo up to the rooftop.
"Shaochuan, you should get out of here quickly, don't worry about us."
Lan Jingyan noticed that Li Shaochuan had also rushed up, and he couldn't let him come and die too!
"No, I won't abandon you!"
Li Shaochuan was stubborn and showed no intention of stopping; instead, he ran even faster.
"What about Yueyue? Yueyue needs you, she can't live without you. Listen to me, go now!"
Lan Jingyan knew that An Xinyue had loved Li Shaochuan for many years, and they had finally gotten together. He couldn't let anything happen to Li Shaochuan!
“If I leave and something happens to you, not only will Yueyue not live a peaceful and happy life! One is my brother, and the other is my sister! I can’t do something like deserting my post. I believe Yueyue will understand me!”
Li Shaochuan paused for a moment, then quickly continued running uphill, saying as he ran that he knew An Xinyue would be in great pain if something really happened, but he couldn't be so selfish as to watch his brother and sister go to their deaths while he himself left unharmed.
If he goes back like this, he won't be able to give anyone an explanation, and his conscience will be uneasy!
Finally, the three of them reached the rooftop.
"Xin Xin must be locked inside!"
Yan Xiluo looked down and saw that there were only three minutes and fifty seconds left...
Sure enough, the door on the rooftop was locked! There wasn't enough time... Yan Xiluo touched her head; thankfully, she had brought her black hair clip!
She quickly used a pincushion to pick the lock, and thankfully, the lock was no problem for her; she opened it in just two seconds.
She saw Zhang Xinxin tied to a pillar, and a time bomb strapped to her waist, counting down second by second...
It's summer now, and although it's a cloudy day, Zhang Xinxin has been tied to a pillar and exposed to the sun for so long. The weather is hot and humid, and she looks very pale and bloodless. She also feels drowsy and shows signs of heatstroke.
Yan Xiluo quickly came to Zhang Xinxin's side and removed the tape from her mouth.
"Boss... hurry... go... hurry... go, don't... worry about me..."
Zhang Xinxin opened her eyes with difficulty, barely managing to see Yan Xiluo. Her voice was very weak, but she never forgot Yan Xiluo's safety and urged her to leave quickly.
She knew she wasn't going to survive, but if they left now, they might have a chance to live... She didn't want to be a burden to them...
"Xinxin, I'm sorry for dragging you down. I'm late and you've suffered."
Yan Xiluo cried as she looked at the bomb, her lips and hands trembling.
Zhang Xinxin has followed her for so many years. If she is implicated and dies because of her, she will never be able to get over it. She will hate herself to death!
Zhang Xinxin had long been like family to her. Thinking of this, it felt like countless sharp knives were stabbing into her heart; it hurt so much she couldn't breathe...
Seeing Zhang Xinxin's inhuman and ghostly state, she was determined to get her revenge on them one by one!
"Boss... don't cry, go quickly... don't worry about me..."
Zhang Xinxin never forgot to urge Yan Xiluo to leave. She felt dizzy and nauseous, her life hanging by a thread. She used her last bit of willpower to support herself, just so that Yan Xiluo could leave quickly.
"Luo Luo, let me do it. You're too excited. I'll take it apart. You talk to her and tell her to calm down. Shao Chuan, give me the scissors..."
Yan Xiluo nodded, knowing she was getting excited, and quickly stepped back, giving her seat to Lan Jingyan. Li Shaochuan also quickly handed over the scissors.
"Boss Lan... take the boss away quickly... hurry..."
With the last of her strength, Zhang Xinxin roared at Lan Jingyan before collapsing...
"Xin Xin!"
Yan Xiluo burst into tears. She touched her body but couldn't find any medicine. She was helpless.
Li Shaochuan put his arms around her shoulders to calm her down, then gently patted her shoulder to comfort her.
With only one and a half minutes left, Lan Jingyan had just disarmed the bomb and hadn't yet decided which wire to cut, because both wires were red...
Yan Xiluo's emotions gradually stabilized, and she looked at the two lines rationally.
Because of the hot and humid weather, Lan Jingyan's forehead was covered in sweat, and she was also a little nervous.
"This is the first time I've seen something like this. It's obvious that they were prepared to die to make such a desperate bomb."
Li Shaochuan also observed that the two lines were exactly the same, and cutting either one would be risking one's life...
"If we still haven't decided in the last five seconds, we'll just have to gamble on one... We're going to die anyway, so let's take the risk!"
Lan Jingyan knew how important Zhang Xinxin was to Yan Xiluo; she would never abandon her and leave. Forcibly taking her away would only make her feel guilty for the rest of her life.
Li Shaochuan nodded and wiped the sweat from Lan Jingyan's forehead.
Yan Xiluo didn't speak, still holding the timer in her hand... What if the person she found changed their mind after pressing it? Is there a hidden switch in the timer?
Yan Xiluo used her last moments to repeatedly examine the timer in her hand; there were no other buttons...
What should I do? What should I do? There are only twenty seconds left. Is she really going to lose the chance to save Zhang Xinxin?
Twenty, nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten... drip drip drip, drip drip drip...
The timer has stopped.
In her haste, Yan Xiluo frantically pressed the stopwatch several times, successfully activating the countdown stop mode.
All three breathed a sigh of relief. Lan Jingyan quickly removed the bomb from Zhang Xinxin. This type of bomb would detonate immediately if removed during the countdown, so they had no choice but to disarm it...
Li Shaochuan untied Zhang Xinxin, and Yan Xiluo breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Zhang Xinxin rescued. She fainted, probably because she was too emotional just now.
"Luo Luo!"
Lan Jingyan and Li Shaochuan called out Yan Xiluo's name at the same time...
Lan Jingyan reacted quickly and caught Yan Xiluo in his arms.
"Shaochuan, Xinxin is so kind of you!"
Lan Jingyan tenderly picked up Yan Xiluo and carried her in his arms.
