Chapter 1814: Chapter 418: A Clean Sweep, Worse Than Death (Part 2)

"Courting death." Eighteen’s eyes were fierce, grabbing her arm and snapping it directly. Bai Xue screamed miserably but stubbornly refused to let go.

There are only twenty seconds, Ji Die is already desperate: "Miss, I’m sorry, I dragged you into this..."

Yun Ya’s expression was composed and calm, without a trace of panic. She seriously examined the bomb. It was uncertain whether Bai Xue was overly confident or not, this bomb was the simplest timed bomb. While the principle is simple, its power is enormous.

"Don’t be afraid, I promised Uncle Qin I’d take you home, and I won’t break that promise."

Yun Ya calmly and quietly removed the detonator, tore off the tape, and didn’t care even as her hand started bleeding.

Pei Qinghan was clenching his teeth hard, his temples throbbing uncontrollably.

"Miss, give it to me." Eighteen flew over and grabbed the detonator from Yun Ya’s hand, vanishing in an instant.

"Boom" a loud noise echoed from above, the ground shook violently. The old, poorly-maintained walls teetered, bits of plaster peeled away, and stones fell down in chunks.

At the moment the explosion sounded, Pei Qinghan suddenly held Yun Ya tightly in his arms, pressing her head firmly against his chest, using his back to shield her from the falling stones.

"The house is about to collapse, we must leave quickly..." Pei Qinghan picked up Yun Ya, ready to escape from here.

"Aunt Die..." Yun Ya pointed at Ji Die and said, "Take Aunt Die and go first, don’t worry about me."

"Ji Yunya." Anger gathered in Pei Qinghan’s eyes. At this critical moment, she was still concerned about others?

Could she not think about herself even once?

Yun Ya abruptly pushed him away and said coldly: "As a friend, I beg you, take Aunt Die and leave first. She’s seven months pregnant, I’ll be fine, take her out quickly..."

Stones cascaded down, falling near Yun Ya’s feet. Pei Qinghan took a deep look at her: "Ji Yunya, you’re ruthless."

With these words, he picked Ji Die up along with a chair and rushed outside.

Ji Die was crying uncontrollably, tears blurred her vision, she looked at the frail figure standing amid the chaos, shouting hoarsely: "Miss..."

Yun Ya shielded her head with her arm as she ran outward. Suddenly, a huge stone fell down, blocking her path. Just as Yun Ya was about to choose another route, a brick hit her, causing sharp pain in her left shoulder. She clenched her teeth, desperately running outside. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

At that moment, Ning Zihuan rushed in holding up a sheet of metal, bent over Yun Ya and without a word hoisted her onto his back, and started to run.

He ran extremely fast, in the blink of an eye they’d left the building, facing countless dangers without a hint of hesitation in his steps.

Just as they exited the building, "Boom" a loud noise echoed, the entire building collapsed, dust filled the air, blocking out the sun.

Ning Zihuan gasped heavily, gently laying Yun Ya down on the ground, ready to check her, but saw her left shoulder soaked with blood, her dusty face still unable to hide her delicate beauty.

"Are you injured?" Ning Zihuan’s voice was exceedingly cold.

Yun Ya bowed to squat on the ground, remaining silent, only hugging herself tightly. Her frail figure looked so lonely.

"I’ll take you to the hospital." Ning Zihuan bent to pick her up, but Yun Ya shoved him away. She lifted her gaze to look at him once, and that look... made Ning Zihuan’s heart skip a beat.

Cold, lifeless, mocking, solitary.

Unexplainably, it sent a pang through his heart.

She firmly pressed her lips, but tears left her eyes, her expression so stubborn, as if it was a silent rebellion against fate.

Ning Zihuan softened his tone, squatting before her, using a gentle voice he’d never used before: "Yun Ya, you’re hurt, let me take you to the hospital, okay?"

The blood from the wound kept flowing more and more, without treatment, he truly feared she’d lose too much blood...

She suddenly started crying "Woo woo", collapsing into his arms. Ning Zihuan looked at her with heartache. She was always elegant and gentle, and even when facing adversity she remained unfazed, he thought her heart was made of iron, he thought her tears were more precious than pearls... but it turned out, she could cry too, cry like a child. His heart, amidst her cries, felt as though it was placed in a meat grinder, churned into pieces.

Who made her cry? With fury in his chest, he wished he could destroy the world.

Was it those two damned lowlifes? Even if they weren’t killed by the falling bricks, he wanted to slice off their flesh piece by piece.

Pei Qinghan stood not far away, watching as she collapsed into another man’s arms, crying so sorrowfully.

She wasn’t relieved for surviving the calamity, nor was she unable to endure the wound on her shoulder, the bitterness in her heart, the hatred, the fear and agony—only he knew.

A faint sigh escaped his lips, he closed his eyes, when would she relent after committing such sins?
