Mu Yichen calmly curled his lips and lowered his head to look at the circuit. “There’s still three minutes before the explosion. Even if I can’t save you, I have three minutes to spend with you.”
He suddenly raised his head. His eyes were red, but he said with determination, “Mommy, I promised Daddy to bring you home unharmed. I can’t go back on my word.”
He could not go back on his word!
Daddy was waiting for them to come home!
He must not leave Mommy behind!
Yun Shishi suddenly choked up. “But… don’t force things, okay? If there’s really no hope, you have to run. There’s no need to stay and lose your life…”
Little Yichen suddenly smiled. He looked up at her and gently asked, “Mommy must be worried that you’re burdening me, right?”
Her lips trembled.
“Sometimes, I have to say that Mommy is really weak like a tree branch that breaks when the wind blows! For example, in this instance, Mommy, you’re really so foolish. Do you really believe everyone’s words so easily? No matter how close someone is to you, they will one day betray you! But Mommy seems so naive, trusting people so readily!”
Little Yichen paused for a moment before he changed the topic. “That’s why the heavens must have sent Daddy to you and given you two powerful ‘guardians’ like Youyou and I. I think that protecting Mommy is our life mission! No matter what, everything else is secondary, we’ll always look after Mommy!”
Yun Shishi was stunned and touched beyond words.
Little Yichen smiled with tears in his eyes. “Mommy is very kind. Even though there are some people in this world who don’t like this kind of kindness because they are born selfish, this kind of selfishness is inherently bad. However, selfishness is not wrong because there is only one life. Everyone wants to live well and protect themselves. However, kindness is not wrong.”
Yun Shishi bit her lips hard, as Little Yichen continued, “Mommy, do you know? Before I met you, I felt that the world was cold. When I was at the Mu family, every step I took was frightening. Everyone was secretly scheming for their own benefit! But after I met you, my life has been filled with sunshine. Because mommy is really very gentle! It makes me feel warm!”
With that, he took a deep breath and wiped away his tears. “So, I can’t lose you! This is my bottom line!” As he spoke, he lowered his head and carefully analyzed the wiring.
Yun Shishi’s lips curved upwards into a smile as she planted a kiss on his forehead. She calmed down as fear left her.
The wiring was extremely complicated. It was not that the lines were complicated, but Little Yichen had to spend a lot of effort to mark more than ten different lines.
After marking the lines, he had to check the direction of the lines and study the function of each line.
Before he knew it, three minutes had passed and Little Yichen had eliminated five wires, three of which were lead wires and two were time wires.
If these two time wires were cut, the countdown would stop. At first glance, it would seem as if the danger had been eliminated.. However, in reality, while the countdown would stop, detonation and explosion would take place after 5 seconds.
