Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten

As he said that, Yi Qianmo threw a black backpack at her feet. She could hear a ticking sound coming from it.

When she heard this ticking sound, Yun Xi’s hair immediately stood on end.

She had experience with Li Zilan throwing grenades at her. Now, another bomb had been thrown at her feet. How honored was she?

Lowering her head, Yun Xi swallowed with difficulty. “This can’t be a real bomb, right?”

“What do you think? If you don’t use the real thing, you won’t be able to learn about it, and if you use the fake one, you’ll easily make mistakes. What if you run into the same bomb one day and cut the wrong line? Of course you have to use the real thing or else how will you be able to remember it?”

“You…” D*mn you!

When she heard him say that it was a real bomb, how could Yun Xi think about anything else? She hurriedly squatted down and opened the backpack on the ground.

There were five rows of time bombs tied together in the bag. It was the most basic method of making a time bomb. However, she could not recall how Yi Qianmo had cut the wire that day and what line he had cut first.

Looking at the countdown timer, she took a deep breath. With shaking hands, she hurriedly took out the tools from her bag.

Her mind raced as she decided whether she should cut the red or blue lines first. The more nervous she became, the more her mind went blank.

It was very rare for her to be so anxious. When she was learning how to sweep landmines with Li Zilan, she was very careful. Even when she was nervous, she would keep her cool.

However, all of this was built on the premise that she had already been familiar with the various mine models and methods of dealing with them. When it comes to the unknown, people naturally feel fear.

She knew about sweeping mines, but she had only learned a little about bomb defusing. She had yet to learn much about them when Yi Qianmo appeared.

The explosion on the square had left a lingering fear in her heart. If not for the fact that she was used to being cautious, she would have been killed.

She had always cherished her life… At this thought, her trembling hands actually stopped, and her nervous heart gradually calmed down.

That day, after Yi Qianmo cut the blue line, the timer had stopped for a few seconds. Then, it had quickly started again. The blue line was the booby trap. Using Yi Qianmo’s previous example, she directly decided to cut the red line.

Yi Qianmo glanced at her and took a few steps back. “The most important thing to do is to dismantle the bomb. You have to first identify the connection between the wires, the timer, and the barrel. Defusing a bomb is different from sweeping landmines. It’s not something you can do relying on your intuition.”

Yun Xi looked at the timer on the bomb. There were only 30 seconds left, and the scissors in her hands had already landed on the red line. After being reminded by Yi Qianmo, she hesitated.

“I haven’t learned anything, but now you throw a bomb at me as soon as you arrive. I can only leave it to luck.”

“Betting on luck is not a good thing. Many times, not everyone has such good luck.”

“I can only bet that this is not a real bomb.”

Yi Qianmo definitely wouldn’t treat their lives as a joke. He was different from Li Zilan. Li Zilan was someone who had been to the battlefield and had seen more dead people than living people. She had never been afraid of death.

However, Yi Qianmo was different. His profession and identity were destined to make him revere life. He definitely wouldn’t joke around with his life over something so dangerous.

“Then you can try all you want.” Yi Qianmo chuckled and took a few steps back. He even impolitely made an inviting gesture. “Hurry up! You don’t have much time!”

Yun Xi looked at the timer which now only displayed three seconds left and directly cut the red wire.

However, the time did not stop. Instead, it stopped at 0.

What awaited her was not a loud explosion, but a muffled bang. The bomb did not explode, but white smoke rose from it.

As soon as she smelled that smell, Yun Xi knew that she had fallen into a trap.
