Chapter 1869 I’m Proud Of You

At that time, he thought that if he had let her stay in the hotel, she would not have been afraid because she could not see the billowing smoke or hear the explosion.

The stench of gunpowder permeated the ruins. He could not tell other odors apart from his own.

It was a dark space. He could hear people’s voices, although they seemed to be far away. He did not dare to shout in order to keep his strength.

In other words, he felt perfectly fine. He hoped that the people outside would devote their efforts to finding other comrades. He could still hold on, so he could be the last to leave.

Lu Xingzhi was unsurprised. He knew Jiang Yao would find him and knew where he was buried when Moe appeared.

Moe lay alongside him and glanced at him before falling asleep with his eyes closed. It was as if he was heartless, but it made Lu Xingzhi feel at ease; it was as if Jiang Yao were the one beside him.

Lu Xingzhi knew that Jiang Yao had asked Moe to accompany him so that he could not be afraid.

How could his wife think he would be afraid?

That was not even the most dangerous situation he had faced in his many years of military service. He was not terrified of being in such a situation; he was only afraid she would be concerned.

Lu Xingzhi did not anticipate her to be so powerful, brave, and compassionate. She missed him, but she still gritted her teeth and did her best.

Lu Xingzhi did not know how to praise Jiang Yao, but it seemed that no matter what he said, it would be insufficient to compensate for what she had done that day.

Every action she made that day let him see her in a new light, and he wanted to applaud her.

“I would have followed you if I had known earlier. If I were there, I might have already fixed the problem.” Jiang Yao snuggled on Lu Xingzhi’s chest. “How are things at Martyrs’ Mausoleum right now?”

“The job to clear the bombs is finished. All bombs have been detonated. A total of 127 improvised bombs have been removed from the area.” When he relayed that number, Lu Xingzhi’s voice was icy. “The personnel at the Martyrs’ Mausoleum have also been questioned. Two people were involved in that incident.”

Then, Lu Xingzhi helped Jiang Yao take off her surgical cap and lowered his head to kiss the corner of her eyes. He was extremely gentle.

“You did great today, Yaoyao. I’m proud of you.”

Every word and emotion came from the bottom of his heart.

“Actually, I hesitated when I knew you were buried there. I truly wanted them to rescue you first.” Jiang Yao hugged Lu Xingzhi and whispered, “If I had been a little more ruthless and selfish, I would have been able to see you safe and sound earlier. But I couldn’t get past that hurdle in my heart because two other people needed help more than you.” She did not make her decision hastily because she was concerned that a second explosion would occur during the rescue process or that the rescue would impact Lu Xingzhi’s position. It could induce external pressures to crush the space where Lu Xingzhi was buried, escalating the issue.

Thankfully, the situation did not happen.

“The bomb in that building is a one-of-a-kind device. On the surface, it appears to be identical to the previous defused bombs. However, the two lines have been altered.” Lu Xingzhi stroked Jiang Yao’s hair. “But what happens after that is completely out of our hands. We can leave Lanning tomorrow. I will take you to see Lanning’s most gorgeous desert.”
