He couldn't bear to watch her die—it would hurt too much!
"No!!" Xia Zhisu shouted.
A deafening explosion thundered. "Boom!"
Xia Zhisu saw the helicopter overhead suddenly erupt in flames, fire bursting in every direction.
The rumble of engines echoed above.
Three fighter jets flew in formation, unleashing a barrage that obliterated the helicopter before descending further to crazily rain bullets on the people below.
Another helicopter quickly approached.
"Little Susu!!!" A voice from the helicopter called out joyfully, waving down from above. "Ling Tian'ao!!"
"Xing Ze!" Xia Zhisu spotted him as well, her face lighting up with shock and delight.
She instantly bolted forward, grabbing Ling Tian'ao's arm tightly.
"Ling Tian'ao!! We're not going to die!" Xia Zhisu exclaimed, her voice trembling with excitement.
Ling Tian'ao's lips curled into a faint smile. Indeed, he had thought death was imminent.
He pulled Xia Zhisu into his embrace.
Nothing outside mattered anymore.
