Chapter 966: The Finale of Feng And Wan (8)
“Lieutenant, you have to believe in His Highness! If he can’t dismantle the bomb, you’ll be of no use going down!”
Shangguan Wan nodded with tears streaming down her face. “A-Alright.”
Then she turned around and slapped Shangguan Rao, hard.
Shangguan Rao held her hot and stinging cheek and sniffed. “I was wrong. I trusted the words of that person on the internet. The past few months I have felt miserable and met that person online. He comforted me, cared about me and I gradually became dependent on him and trusted him.
“I told him about you returning to the Capital and told him about your conversation with Father which I heard hiding behind the door. He said there was a way to separate you from Brother Yanfeng and asked me to go to the Capital and take Little Xingxing away. He said before he would not hurt Little Xingxing. I didn’t expect that it would turn out like this…”
Shangguan Wan did not want to hear Shangguan Rao’s explanation and stared at the roof with red eyes.
The fire had already spread up, engulfing the entire building in a fiery inferno of wild flames.
Finally, Ye Yanfeng understood the wiring of the bomb and raised his head to look at the timer. There was only twenty seconds left.
More sweat covered his forehead and he said with a tensed expression. “Xingxing, don’t be afraid!”
Little Xingxing nodded. “I’m not afraid with Daddy by my side.”
Ye Yanfeng took the sharp knife and cut the red and green wires on the bomb at the same time.
The countdown function on the screen stopped immediately.
Ye Yanfeng quickly ripped the bomb from Little Xingxing’s body, carried Little Xingxing with one hand and grabbed the safety ladder with the other.
He had just climbed two rungs when he saw that the bomb he had thrown had lit up again.
The numbers were jumping even faster!
Five, four, three, two, one…
Boom! A loud explosion split through the building.
Ye Yanfeng held Little Xingxing and continued climbing up and shielded him tightly in his arms.
Behind, a black mushroom cloud rose to the sky.
…
Ye Yanfeng gritted his teeth and carried Little Xingxing up to the helicopter.
Shangguan Wan and the two rescue staff jointly pulled up Ye Yanfeng, whose face was deathly pale.
Ye Yanfeng’s shoulders were hit by shrapnel from the explosion, leaving a searing pain behind. After being pulled up the helicopter, he sprawled weakly on the ground.
“Dad, Dad!”
Before Shangguan Wan could say anything, she heard Little Xingxing calling him ‘Dad’.
Ye Yanfeng raised his head from the ground and smiled at Little Xingxing. “Dad’s fine. I’m just a little tired and want to sleep for a while.”
Shangguan Wan looked at Ye Yanfeng’s back that was stained with blood and she said nothing, her eyebrows tightly knitted together.
Ye Yanfeng then glanced at Shangguan Wan, a trace of gentleness in his eyes. “Wanwan, I’ll sleep for a while, don’t worry.”
After that, Ye Yanfeng fainted.
Shangguan Wan looked at him, her eyes blurred with tears.
…
Ye Yanfeng slowly opened his eyes.
He did not know how long he had slept, and being in the dark for too long, he was unable to get used to the brightness. He closed his eyes and opened them again.
A faint antiseptic smell floated into his nose and he knew that he was at the hospital. He moved his body, but there was a searing pain on his back.
“Hey, don’t move around. I’ve just finished applying the medicine!” Jing Ting’s voice came from behind him.
Ye Yanfeng was lying on his stomach and he furrowed his eyebrows, enduring the pain and turned over to sit on the bed.
Seeing that there was only Jing Ting in the room, he frowned even deeper. “It’s just you here?”
Jing Ting shrugged. “You’ve been in a coma for two days. By the way, Wan’er wanted me to tell you, the person who kidnapped Little Xingxing has already surrendered himself. He said that you passed the test and stopped the countdown of the chip in your brain. I’ll do an operation to get it out for you!”
“Wan’er interrogated that person. He said that when a fire broke out in his house, his father escaped and left him behind. He thought that in this world, fathers would be cold-blooded to their sons in the face of great disasters. He did not expect that you would rather die with your son than leave him behind. He said that you’re a good father and he would not let you die!”
Ye Yanfeng pursed his lips. “But he still helped my father kill many people.”
Jing Ting shrugged. “So, he will get his punishment after surrendering himself!”
Ye Yanfeng was silent for a while before he asked. “Did Wanwan and Xingxing come by?”
“Your son comes everyday, but has something happened to Wan’er? Before she was running after you, but the two days you were in a coma, she did not come to see you even once.”
Ye Yanfeng lowered his eyes, hiding the trace of disappointment in his eyes.
…
In the evening.
Little Xingxing came to see Ye Yanfeng. Seeing that his dad was awake, he stood by the door shyly.
Ye Yanfeng saw that the little fellow was not coming in and his heart pounded. Did the little fellow not like him again?
Ye Yanfeng waved to him. “Xingxing, why aren’t you coming in?”
Little Xingxing came to Ye Yanfeng and took out a glass jar which contained countless small stars from his bag.
Ye Yanfeng could not help smiling. “Are you giving it to Dad? Do you want Dad to get better soon?”
Little Xingxing nodded.
Ye Yanfeng looked at the little fellow’s red ears and then realized that he was embarrassed.
Reaching out an arm, Ye Yanfeng said with his voice slightly choked up, “Can you let Dad hug you?”
Little Xingxing shook his head in a hurry.
Ye Yanfeng’s heart clenched. “You don’t want Dad to hug you?”
Little Xingxing approached the bed and reached out his arms to hug Ye Yanfeng. His small hands were careful not to touch Ye Yanfeng’s injured shoulders.
“Dad is injured so you can’t hug me. But I can hug Dad.”
Hearing the little fellow’s crisp voice, a warm feeling seemed to have entered Ye Yanfeng’s chest, making his heart melt and his eyes tear up.
Ever since learning that Little Xingxing was his son, he had never held him so intimately before other than the night when he saved him.
This little thing was so soft and warm, making him have an unspeakable fondness and peace growing inside! Ye Yanfeng ignored his back injury and pulled the little fellow into his arms.
Shangguan Wan stood by the door, and tears fell as she looked at the hugging father and son.
The past two days, she would only come in the middle of the night to see Ye Yanfeng. She did not enter the ward and stood at the window to look at him.
Now that the bad things were over, he would be able to return to normal as long as he underwent the operation to remove the chip.
Little Xingxing had already called him ‘Dad’ and it seemed like everything was going in a good direction.
But, there was still a barrier in her heart that was difficult to cross over!
Shangguan Wan closed her eyes and left without looking into the ward again.
Ye Yanfeng saw the figure of Shangguan Wan from the corner of his eye and when he looked carefully, she was gone.
He looked down at Little Xingxing in his arms. “Did you come with your Mom?”
Little Xingxing raised his head from Ye Yanfeng’s broad chest and shook his head. “Wanwan said that she was busy in the force recently and has no time to visit Dad.” Then, Little Xingxing tilted his head thoughtfully. “But I think it’s because Wanwan doesn’t want to see Dad!”
