Meanwhile, on Wenrou's side, she had only just hidden herself when she saw the door to the private room open.

Immediately afterwards, a man walked in.

Wenrou noticed the man walk in and went straight to the place where the explosives were placed.

Without a doubt, this man is definitely in cahoots with those two spies.

Clutching a kitchen knife, she quietly emerged from the cabinet behind him as the man approached the explosives.

The man's attention was completely focused on the explosives, and he didn't notice that there was someone hiding in the cabinet behind him.

Just as he approached, lifted the cloth, and prepared to ignite the explosives underneath, he discovered that the explosives had been soaked.

He stood there for a moment, slightly taken aback, and his expression changed accordingly.

Just as he was about to bend down to check, Wenrou dodged his outstretched hand, and the knife in her hand was already pressed against his throat.

"Don't move, put your hands up."

Her voice was cold, and the man looked down at the cold blade against his neck, his heart skipping a beat.

He didn't know who the person was, so he could only slowly raise his hand and stop what he was doing.

Meanwhile, Huo Yanchuan remained in a standoff with the two spies.

"What do you want to do?" Even under these circumstances, Huo Yanchuan remained calm.

It's clearly too late for them to withdraw now.

Even if they run away, there are still so many people in the state-run restaurant. If he can sacrifice himself to save so many people, that's enough.

So he wanted to try negotiating with them, hoping to get his brothers out safely.

"Stop struggling. I've already had explosives planted here. When the time comes, this place will explode, and none of us here will survive."

Another person spoke up at this moment, clearly indicating that they were prepared to perish together with Huo Yanchuan and his group.

Upon hearing that they had planted explosives here, Hao Gang and the others were all shocked.

"Commander." Hao Gang looked at Huo Yanchuan; they had fallen into the enemy's trap.

Huo Yanchuan frowned and looked at the person in the lead.

"All you want is my life, which I can give you, but my brothers and everyone here is innocent. Let them go."

Huo Yanchuan began negotiating with the other party, trying his best to buy more time.

Upon hearing Huo Yanchuan's words, Hao Gang was the first to speak: "Commander, since we're here, we never intended to desert."

Upon hearing his words, the others began to echo him.

"Commander, we are not people who are afraid of death."

"Yes, we'll stand with you through thick and thin, we won't leave."

They are all soldiers; how could they possibly desert when faced with danger?

Besides, their mission is to defend the country and protect the people. Even if they fail in their mission, they will not leave.

Huo Yanchuan looked at his brothers, feeling extremely guilty.

This time it's his fault. After receiving the urgent mission, he didn't verify anything before bringing his men over.

He just didn't expect that these people were really crazy, willing to risk their own lives to betray their country.

"Tsk tsk, what a deep brotherhood! You say you're sacrificing yourselves for the country, but why bother?"

Huo Yanchuan looked at him with icy eyes, his gaze filled with unwavering determination.

"Scum like you who take pride in betraying your country will never understand."

The leader chuckled, even clapping his hands, his face full of provocation. "You're right, but you'll still have to die here today, carrying your so-called beliefs."

After saying that, he burst into unrestrained, maniacal laughter.

After he finished laughing, he checked his watch and, seeing that it was almost time, sat down.

"There's only one minute left, then it will all be over."

After he finished speaking, Huo Yanchuan turned around and ordered everyone behind him, "Quickly evacuate everyone."

One minute may not be enough, but if it can save even one person, it counts.

He never imagined he would die here, but when he joined the army, he had already decided to dedicate his life to the country.

He had no regrets about sacrificing himself to defend his country.

but……

His only worries now are Wenrou and the baby in her belly.

Furthermore, she still doesn't know who the father of the child in her womb is, and she doesn't know if she will be even a little bit sad when she sacrifices herself.

But thinking about it, their marriage was a marriage of convenience, and she didn't have much affection for him anyway.

After he dies, she can take her child and choose a better man to live happily ever after.

Huo Yanchuan used to think that when he sacrificed himself, he must have had no regrets.

But now that he finally has someone to care about, he has to leave at this time, and he still feels a little reluctant.

The two spies did not stop Huo Yanchuan's actions, but just watched them do their futile work with a mocking expression.

Just as Hao Gang and his men were following orders and preparing to go out to disperse the crowd, the door to the private room was suddenly kicked open.

Immediately afterwards, they saw a gentle figure appear at the door.

"Sister-in-law?" Hao Gang stared wide-eyed in shock when he saw Wenrou.

They clearly saw Wenrou and that man leave just now, so why are they back?

Upon hearing Hao Gang's words, Huo Yanchuan turned around abruptly and saw the person he had just been worried about appearing at the door without any warning.

A flicker of panic crossed his eyes when he saw Wenrou.

The person who was calm and collected just moments ago is now unable to control their panic.

"What are you doing here? Get out of here, go as far away as you can!" Huo Yanchuan didn't have time to explain to Wenrou and shouted at her.

He and his brothers could sacrifice themselves, but Wenrou couldn't die here too, especially with the child in her womb.

"Now that I'm here, I have no intention of leaving." Wenrou looked at Huo Yanchuan, then turned her gaze to the two spies.

She walked in slowly, under everyone's gaze.

However, at this moment, everyone noticed that she was also carrying someone in her hand.

The man was bruised and swollen, and was tied up like a rice dumpling.

A grown man was dragged in by her and thrown in front of everyone.

The two spies who had been so arrogant just moments before changed their expressions immediately upon seeing the person Wenrou brought in.

The leading man glared at Wenrou, his eyes scanning her like a venomous snake.

"It's you..." At this moment, he finally recognized that Wenrou was the woman who had ruined his plan last time and helped Huo Yanchuan capture them.

He never expected that this plan would fail again because of this woman.

"Oh, you have a good memory. That's right, it's your great-aunt again. You're unlucky to run into me again." Wenrou gave the man a disdainful snort.

Before the man could say anything more, Wenrou spoke up again: "By the way, I've soaked all the explosives you prepared, so they probably won't work."

Upon hearing Wenrou's words, the man lying on the ground glared fiercely at her.

It was all because of this woman that their plans were ruined.

Seeing that he was still not convinced, Wenrou stepped forward and kicked him hard.

"What are you glaring at me for? Try glaring at me again!"

The man cried out in pain after being kicked, and instantly gave in, no longer daring to provoke Wenrou.

This woman is too fierce. He tried to fight back, but he was no match for her at all.

Not only that, she attacked without any rhyme or reason, kicking him in his groin area. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been crippled by her kicks.

The two spies' expressions changed instantly when they heard that Wenrou had destroyed the explosives they had planted beforehand.

Just then, a loud shout came from outside the door: "It's leaking! The kitchen is leaking!"

As soon as the sound rang out, everyone started running outside.

It was only then that they realized water had seeped into the ground at some point, and the water level was rising higher and higher.

At this point, even if there were explosives, they would all be submerged, making an explosion impossible.

The two spies had initially been skeptical of Wenrou's words, but now, seeing this scene, they stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"You...you knew in advance that we planted explosives here? Huo Yanchuan, you win."

Seeing that the plan had failed, the leading agent gave up the struggle. Although there was a lot of resentment in his eyes when he looked at Huo Yanchuan, there was even more admiration.

No wonder he was so calm just now; he already knew their plan and made preparations in advance.

They were too careless and underestimated their opponent.

Huo Yanchuan's gaze fell on Wenrou, his expression complex, a mixture of joy, emotion, doubt, and curiosity.

He didn't know how Wenrou knew there were explosives here, or where they hid them.

This time, thanks to her, they and everyone here were saved.

He had even prepared himself to sacrifice himself, but unexpectedly, she saved him again.

Huo Yanchuan coldly stared at the agents, pulled out a gun from his pocket, pointed it at them, and ordered the men behind him, "Arrest them."

Knowing he had no more chances, the lead agent suddenly rushed towards Wenrou.

Upon seeing this, Huo Yanchuan was startled and fired a shot, killing him instantly.

The remaining two men, seeing that their leader was dead, knew that if Huo Yanchuan caught them, they would definitely be tortured.

In the end, despite their desperate resistance, they were all killed.

Wenrou stood there, stunned, staring at the fallen people, their faces and bodies splattered with blood.

Just then, Huo Yanchuan stepped forward, reached out and hugged her tightly in his arms, pressing her head with one hand to turn her face towards him, preventing her from seeing this bloody scene.

Although Wenrou is usually quite fierce, this was the first time she had ever seen such a scene in her two lifetimes, and she was genuinely frightened.

Huo Yanchuan remained calm, carried Wenrou out, and instructed the others to clean up the place.

"It's alright now, don't be afraid." Huo Yanchuan's gentle voice came over at this moment, and he reached out and gently patted her back.

He had acted rashly just now, and seeing the agent rushing towards Wenrou, he instinctively fired his gun.

He dared not gamble, dared not put Wenrou in any danger.

Wenrou waved her hand gently; she had just felt a little nauseous, but she felt much better now.

"Okay, it's alright now."

Seeing this, Huo Yanchuan released her.

However, he lowered his head, his gaze fixed on her face, and asked, "How did you know about their plan?"

Wenrou met his scrutinizing gaze and felt a little guilty, so she could only make up an excuse.

"I overheard their plan when I was leaving, which is why I turned back. I figured that if the explosives got wet, they wouldn't work."

When she said this, she didn't even believe it herself, let alone someone as perceptive as Huo Yanchuan.

She had expected Huo Yanchuan to ask more questions, and she was already prepared to respond.

He simply nodded and gave a faint "hmm," then said, "If you ever encounter something this dangerous again, remember that your life is the most important thing. It's not worth risking your life for someone else."

Knowing he meant it with concern, Wenrou still instinctively retorted, "How could I? I can't just stand by and watch so many of you sacrifice yourselves. Besides, you're not just anyone, you're my husband. Have you forgotten that you said you'd be the father of the child in my belly?"

Hearing the word "husband" from her lips, Huo Yanchuan's heart trembled slightly.

He couldn't hold back any longer and reached out to hug her again, this time holding her very tightly, unwilling to let go.

Huo Yanchuan knew she was lying, but he didn't want to expose her.

As long as she has him in her heart, that's enough. As for her secrets, he'll wait until she's willing to tell him.

Just as Wenrou was about to say something, she suddenly felt her stomach tighten and harden, and it hurt a little, but she could still bear it. Then it felt like something was flowing out from below.

She instinctively reached out and touched it, only to find that she was bleeding from somewhere.

She had run all the way here to save Huo Yanchuan without daring to stop.

Just now, in order to destroy the explosives and capture that spy, I didn't even care about my stomach.

Only then did she realize that something was wrong with her stomach. She frantically touched her stomach, her voice trembling slightly, and said to Huo Yanchuan, "Huo Yanchuan, I'm bleeding. Please take me to the hospital quickly."

Although Huo Yanchuan is important, the children are equally important.

She was almost six months pregnant, and although the fetus was stable, it couldn't withstand her constant activity.

Huo Yanchuan was startled when he heard her words. He then hurriedly picked her up and ran towards the hospital.

"It's alright, don't worry, our child will be fine." Huo Yanchuan kept repeating this sentence all the way.

His words were meant to comfort and soothe, but they were also meant to comfort himself.

Wenrou was held in his arms. Although she was very flustered, she always felt that as long as he was there, she and her child would be safe.
