As Nic's jacket zipped up, several bright red numbers came into view. Leng Mengmeng's face quickly lost color, her movements slightly delayed, and she frowned and looked at Jiang Huaizhou beside her.

At this moment, Jiang Huaizhou exuded coldness and hostility all over his body, like a demon that fell into the abyss, ready to destroy everything around him in the next second.

A row of bombs were tied to Nic's body, and the bright red countdown was still ticking, reminding them that they didn't have much time left, less than three minutes.

"Huaizhou." Leng Mengmeng called softly. Even though she was used to seeing fighting and bloodshed, she had never been so scared that her voice was noticeably trembling.

Even if she had a bomb disposal expert among her people, they would not be able to get here in just two minutes. She looked at Jiang Huaizhou, hoping that he would come up with an idea.

Jiang Huaizhou just stood there, his hands hanging limply at his sides, feeling helpless.

"dad."

Suddenly, Nic raised his uneasy face and shouted at Jiang Huaizhou. Jiang Huaizhou had been waiting for this voice for a long time. He was eager to hear the word "Dad". His eyes moved slightly and something slipped from his eyes.

The throbbing red color stimulated every nerve of Jiang Huaizhou. He took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. After three seconds, the call was connected. He said a few words to the other end and then switched to video mode.

Jiang Huaizhou pointed his cell phone at the location of the bomb. There were less than two minutes left. Leng Mengmeng leaned over to take a look. On the screen was a man in military uniform whose face could not be seen clearly.

The two exchanged a few words quickly. The man on the other side of the screen was silent for a while. Jiang Huaizhou also remained silent. After a while, his dry lips opened slightly, "Knife."

Without any hesitation, Leng Mengmeng quickly handed over the dagger on her body, but she clearly saw that Jiang Huaizhou's hand holding the dagger was trembling slightly.

Jiang Huaizhou held a dagger in one hand and twisted a red thread in the other. His eyes were as firm as ever, but his hands did not move at all.

Suddenly, a laugh came from behind, "Cut it, why not? You also get scared sometimes? I didn't expect it, hahahaha..."

"Shut up!" Leng Mengmeng turned around and scolded Ye Jingshu.

Ye Jingshu looked like he was watching a show, "Jiang Huaizhou, hurry up and do it. If you don't do it, we will all die."

Jiang Huaizhou was concentrating on this at the moment, so he had no time or mood to care about her sarcasm. Leng Mengmeng was upset, so she stood up and walked over quickly, kicking Ye Jingshu on the shoulder. Ye Jingshu felt pain and lay on the ground groaning, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Nic's view was blocked by Jiang Huaizhou. He was about to lean over to look back, but was stopped by Jiang Huaizhou, "Don't move."

Hearing this, Nic stood there obediently, not moving at all, "Then can I speak?"

Jiang Huaizhou felt upset and distressed, and nodded silently.

Nic blinked and looked to the side, seeing Leng Mengmeng coming over, and said, "Sister, can you do me a favor?"

Leng Mengmeng was still angry and had a gloomy face. When she heard Nic calling her, she quickly grinned and said gently, "What's the matter?"

Nic said, "Can you help that aunt find her veil?"

This sentence made Leng Mengmeng very angry. Is this kid crazy? Ye Jingshu almost killed his mother, and now he asked her to find something for her.

Even Ye Jingshu, who was lying on the ground, wondered if he had heard it wrongly.

Nic went on to say: "Her face was injured, it must be very painful, she didn't want so many people to see her wound, maybe that's why she became bad, if we help her, maybe she will get better."

Leng Mengmeng cursed in her heart but didn't show it on her face. With a cold face, she found the veil for Ye Jingshu and walked in front of her to put it on her.

At the same time, when there were only five seconds left in the countdown, Jiang Huaizhou decisively cut the red line, and the bright red numbers really stopped. His legs went weak in an instant and he half-knelt on the ground. Leng Mengmeng, who was not far away, also turned around and breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, the person next to her pushed Leng Mengmeng hard. She was already twisting her body, and this push made her fall to the ground. A figure passed in front of her, and by the time she reacted, it was too late.

"Huaizhou!" Leng Mengmeng shouted anxiously behind him.

Jiang Huaizhou had just relaxed from an extremely tense state and his vigilance had dropped a lot. When he heard Leng Mengmeng calling him, he subconsciously reached out to grab Nic, but he didn't expect that Ye Jingshu had already grabbed Nic half a step before him.

When everyone reacted, they saw Ye Jingshu had already picked up Nic and ran out. No one knew how she ran so fast. When Jiang Huaizhou and Leng Mengmeng chased after her, they saw Ye Jingshu quickly take off the bomb on Nic and push Nic back with force.

Although he was confused, Jiang Huaizhou didn't have time to think about anything else. He slid over and successfully hugged Nic in his arms.

Ye Jingshu stood in the corridor of the wooden house and watched all this. Then, without any hesitation, he jumped over the railing and jumped out of the house.

"Chase me!"

At Leng Mengmeng's command, several people ran out. Before they took two steps, there was a sudden loud noise and flames shot up into the sky. It turned out that an explosion occurred where Ye Jingshu jumped.

Everyone looked at each other, Leng Mengmeng frowned and looked back at Jiang Huaizhou.

Jiang Huaizhou hugged Nic and spoke after a while: "No need to chase."
