Qiao Yanze instantly understood the purpose of Qiao Yanrong’s kidnapping!

He let his accomplices get the ransom outside while he stayed inside the house with a bomb tied to his body. His purpose was to kill himself and take them all with him!

“Go, go quickly!”

The time on the bomb turned from nine seconds to eight…

Time seemed to move in slow motion.

Nan Zhi also heard the sound of the bomb and she helped Madam Qiao and An Feng up, and held Xiaojie in her arms.

They burst outside quickly, scrambling to get as far away as possible.

An Feng suddenly tripped over a broken chair in her rush. When Nan Zhi and Madam Qiao saw this, they wanted to help her but Qiao Yanze shouted at them, “I’ll help Sister, just go!”

An Feng had sprained her foot and she urged Qiao Yanze, “Time is almost up, go!”

Qiao Yanze helped An Feng up and took her outside quickly. “How could I possibly leave my elder sister behind now that we’ve finally found you?”

BOOM!!

It was a sharp sound, a thunderous explosion like a volcano has erupted.

A rush of heat burst out, engulfing the surroundings in flames.

If Qiao Yanze was alone, he could have avoided it, but he could not leave his sister behind.

If she was injured, Zhizhi and his mother would be devastated!

She was a loved one he finally found and he would protect her at all costs!

A dark mushroom cloud rose in the sky. Qiao Yanze blocked the fire and heat with his body, s.h.i.+elding An Feng under his body to protect her from the explosion.

…

In the ambulance, Nan Zhi looked at Qiao Yanze, who was lifted up into the ambulance with his back badly mutilated and the tears in her eyes fell uncontrollably.

“Mr. Qiao!” She panicked as she watched the blood flowing out and staining his clothes red.

“Mr. Qiao, wake up. You’re not allowed to die, do you hear me?” She was terrified and her mind was in a blank. She was afraid that he would die just like that.

“Don’t cry…” Qiao Yanze opened his eyes slowly, his eyes showing a trace of heartache upon seeing her panicked expression. “My luck is very good, how could I die so easily? Just…”

Nan Zhi’s heart tightened. “Just what, tell me!”

“Just that I’m really in pain. If… if you could call me uncle, maybe it would ease my pain…”

Nan Zhi’s wet eyelashes fluttered, and she bit her lip hard, yet the word ‘Uncle’ could not come out that easily.

Qiao Yanze’s face was scrunched up and he whimpered in pain.

Nan Zhi saw his b.l.o.o.d.y shoulder and her heart was in pain.

She did not expect him to save her mother without regard to his life and all the discontent she felt previously disappeared with the wind.

She closed her eyes and said softly, “Uncle.”

“What? I couldn’t hear.”

Nan Zhi opened her eyes and glared at Qiao Yanze when she saw the laughter in his eyes. “You heard it clearly.”

Qiao Yanze wanted to lift his hand to touch Nan Zhi’s head but when he moved, his shoulder burned with pain.

Nan Zhi felt moved, yet amused. “You’re injured, don’t move about!”

“Oh man, this is first time I’ve seen you crying for me. It’s worth it to be hurt!” Qiao Yanze looked like a child who had gotten candy, his lips lifted into a happy smile.
