The world was dark, and she couldn't feel the passage of time. Zhang Ran counted to determine the elapsed time. When she counted to 4,323, the car suddenly stopped.

Could it be that we have arrived at the location for the hostage exchange?

The rear compartment was suddenly opened, and the sacks were opened as well. The dazzling sunlight poured in, causing Zhang Ran to subconsciously close his eyes and then open them again.

A man was standing in front of her with a syringe in his hand. He pulled up her sleeve and injected the medicine into her veins.

The man had never seen such a quiet hostage before. He suddenly said, "I won't kill you." His eyes swept over the explosives strapped to her body. "You won't live long anyway." One of his men had previously revealed the secret of the explosives in front of the hostages and had been personally dealt with. To prevent the secret from leaking out from the hostage, he specifically told her to keep her mouth shut.

Zhang Ran felt sleepy and soon lost consciousness.

Because she was tied with explosives, it was difficult to carry it.

Two foreign mercenaries carried sacks and walked into a building that was left with only ruins after being bombarded by artillery fire.

This large area has been bombed by artillery fire, and there are ruins everywhere. No one lives there, and weathered corpses can be seen everywhere, trampled and deeply embedded in the ground, which is a shocking sight.

A large number of mercenaries poured into the area and searched the entire building until they confirmed that no explosives were installed. Then they walked to a black car and reported.

The car door opened and Huo Xiao got out.

His men immediately took a wheelchair from the back of the car and pushed it in front of him, respectfully asking him to sit down.

Many years ago, Huo Xiao once again led his men to slaughter his illegitimate son's entire family. It seemed the other party had known Huo Xiao would come and had planted explosives around the house in advance. He watched his innocent family being slaughtered before his eyes, and before dying, he pressed the remote control switch, burying everyone with him.

It was this time that the arrogant Huo Xiao's legs were injured in the explosion and he became disabled.

Those who had been bullied by him, his enemies, and even his subordinates began to stir.

Huo Xiao took this opportunity to eliminate dissidents and suppressed them with thunder-like means. Before they died, these people discovered that Huo Xiao's legs were not disabled at all, he was just pretending!

Having tasted the sweetness of pretending to be disabled, Huo Xiao became addicted and couldn't stop. He liked to travel in a wheelchair. Over time, everyone thought he was disabled.

Huo Xiao waved his hand lightly, and his men scattered. Some rushed into the building and hid in various hidden corners, ready to launch a sneak attack at any time; some rushed into the nearby buildings, found the best view point, and set up machine guns; some buried bombs in places where the enemy might pass by, so that they would never return.

Huo Xiao was sitting in a wheelchair and was pushed into the ruined building.

The second floor.

Zhang Ran lay on the edge of the open balcony. The sack she was wearing was gone, discarded not far away, and a noose had been put around her neck. Even if she weren't strapped with explosives, a simple kick would have sent her tumbling down and hanging from the building.

Huo Cheng stood beside Huo Xiao, frowning at the unconscious Zhang Ran, who was covered in explosives and noose. He couldn't help but question, "Is it necessary to do so much?" It was obvious that he didn't want her to live.

Huo Xiao turned his head slightly to stare at him, "Are you heartbroken?"

Huo Cheng denied it outright: "I didn't."

"Very courageous." Huo Xiao did not expose her fault but praised her instead, "Afterwards, you will execute her yourself."

Huo Cheng: "..." He took a deep breath, turned around and angrily said: "You want me to become a murderer like you?"
