Chapter 700: Chapter 463: Dismantling (an update) _1

Jing Chen crouched slightly, as he accepted the scissors passed over by Mu Lin.

Reaching out, the scissors slowly drew closer to one of the wires, when abruptly he hesitated.

"What’s wrong?" Mu Lin looked at him with slight confusion, a smirk playing on his lips, "even you don’t know which wire to cut, Jing? It seems we really could be headed for death today."

Despite his words, Mu Lin’s face was devoid of any fear, only a hint of amusement.

"If my wife is with me, I would gladly embrace death." Jing responded playfully.

Mu Lin’s mouth twitched, "how about dying under a peony flower, living as a lover even in the underworld."

"If that were the case, I would want you to be there with me. Only then would it fit the romantic theme."

Despite his words, would Jing Chen really make such a decision in the event of life and death? Perhaps only if he were faced with such a scenario he would know for sure.

One thing he was certain of, regardless of whether Jing Chen was serious or joking, Mu Lin would never let him face a crisis alone.

They belonged to each other, hadn’t they, from the moment they exchanged rings; Mu Lin had completely accepted him.

Hearing Jing Chen’s words, Mu Lin chuckled, his eyes filled with an unspeakable emotion, "I hope you don’t forget what you said." Jing Chen, who was already prepared to make the cut, paused for a moment, a complex look flashed in his eyes, then a smile tugged at his lips, "Don’t worry, I won’t forget."

Because he would never let such a thing happen.

Next moment, the red wire was cut, the timer in front of them ceased to tick, the internal movement of the mechanism that had been in motion, at that moment, went silent; this meant Jing Chen had made the right choice.

They had defused the first bomb.

The two of them made their way in other directions.

Meanwhile, in the Monitoring Room, Ma Ran stood up and headed towards the door.

He looked indifferently at the faces of the people outside, that were filled with fear and despair, and felt cold.

No matter where or when, these people would always be their best shield. He glanced at the time and a smirk formed on his lips.

He had ten minutes.

In ten minutes, he could do as he pleased.

The thought excited him. Just the sight of those who despised them yet still couldn’t harm them brought joy to him.

To tell the truth, from the beginning, he had never intended to let these people go, even if he had reached his own goal; he felt that it was about time for those who thought highly of themselves to learn a lesson. People in this mall and the mall itself, comprising of more than ten thousand people, he believed would teach them how insignificant they actually were.

Next time, they better not offend them lightly, otherwise, the consequences are not something they will be able to handle.

Although they didn’t mind playing the game once more with them.

At the moment, everyone outside was watching the big screen with heavy faces, the one in charge of coordinating the scene glanced at the time occasionally, the expression on his face extremely grave. On the opposite side of the mall, the sniper had already prepared himself, but unfortunately for them, they couldn’t see inside, everything was sealed. Despite their desire to take down the enemy, they could not find a point of sight.

The only way they could get in now was through some vents of the mall.

The entire booth of the mall was connected, hence, they could secretly go in, and once inside, they could attempt to open the doors and windows. That way, the sniper outside could see the target.

"Still can’t act?" The commander looked at Xigua and his team for advice, after all, they were reinforcements sent by the president. Xigua shook his head, "Until we get instructions from our boss, we can’t act."

"But..." The other party was somewhat nervous; if they continued to be passive, then the hostages inside.

Without bothering with the other party’s concerns, Xigua just looked at him, "You should clearly know that it’s not that we don’t want to act or we don’t want you to act, but there are ten bombs buried inside, and the mall is full of cameras. If we suddenly act and anger them, and they become desperate, then the consequences, I believe you understand better than I do."
