Extricate Mission (II)

Darren was hesitating but he saw the determination in Uncle Tek's voice, Darren is Ji Yu's second in command, he is qualified to decide on Ji Yu's behalf. After some deliberations he swiftly decided to follow Uncle Tek's wish.

"Retreat!" he commanded.

Ken's men that appeared with Ken had long gone with Ken.

In a inconspicuous van not far from the scene, Ken's eyes were fixed to monitor in front of him. He could clearly see Uncle Tek approaching the metal bar Mei Xin is in. He could hear clearly Mei Xin telling Uncle Tek to leave her behind.

"Xin Xin, I have promised to spend a lifetime with you, how could I leave? This life, I have never allowed myself to fall in love because as a bodyguard, I never thought I could freely love as I had pledge my life to protect Ru Ran. My luck was to be able to protect a good person like lady Ru Ran and meet you. Don't worry, I won't leave you behind. I have some knowledge with bomb, let me have a look at the mechanism first, okay?" said Uncle Tek gently trying to ease Mei Xin's fear.

After looking at the mechanism of the bomb, his expression soured. No wonder that Bastard was so confident, even if Uncle Tek were to call in a bomb expert there is no way to detonate manually. It can only be detonated if the system is inactivated remotely. That Bastard had activated the system the moment his guard gave him the signal. And it seems they only have 2 minutes more before the bomb would explode.

Ken was looking at screen smugly. He wanted to see how capable the man his sister has fallen for. He is sure that once the man realised it is pointless, he would abandon his sister. He then will swoop in and tell her that love is a painted illusion. He will make up for the lack of his presence in her life and with his current wealth, he does not need the Shen's family power. He would just let Ji Yu go, he is after all a businessman, no point to continue opposing a person who was actually a victim as well. The Bastard father of his had been long dead as well. He just want to lead a life with his sister. He never had close relation with anyone, this sister of his, is similar yet different from him, her pureness and innocence is refreshing to him and he felt the need to protect her. Now that he has found her, he would not let her go.

To his extreme surprise, Uncle Tek did not leave instead he said calmly, "Xin Xin, come let me hold your hands."

He sat down beside Mei Xin and held both of her petite hands and kissed them equally. Mei Xin was already crying. "Ah Wah, you can go, this is the grudge between me and my brother"

"Silly girl, who is the one who fiercely told me, now that I have agreed, I should never let her go or she will chop my family breeding tool?" said Uncle Tek with a chuckle.

Memories of their short time together, how she was protective of him all resurfaced. She was also thinking similarly along the same line, she could not believe she had the audacity to speak such words but she did.

"Yun Tek Wah, since this is our choice, I truly have no regrets. May we have a better chance the next lifetime, no matter what you have become or will be, I will look for you and hang on to you in the next lifetime!" she said with determination.

"Even at that time I am already an 80 year old man, and you are a 20 year old woman?" he joked.

"Even so, my heart will recognise you as my one and only soul mate!" she exclaimed.

Both of them had beautiful smiles on their face as if they were chatting idly and not waiting for the grim reaper to claim their life.

This scene was truly beautiful and even the cold hearted Ken was touched. No wonder, this man was chosen by his sister, it seems his sister had grown up to be a person who see clearly what is black and what is white and have a good eye.

As the two minutes was approaching the two lovebirds were calm, when the timer let out the last beep, Uncle Tek lifted Mei Xin out of the chair into his embrace. At least, they should die in each others embrace.
