Yang Yi certainly didn't want to die, but at this moment, he felt it was better to die than to let Ian fail to reach Li Fan safely under Anton's care.
Why? Yang Yi wasn't quite sure himself. He just felt that Ian was too important, so important that his life seemed less significant in comparison.
Yang Yi didn't think anymore. If he had hesitated for even a moment longer, he might have made a different choice. But in the instant he decided, Yang Yi chose to be a hero. Although he was neither great nor glorious in his usual life, at least in the moment of that decision, he was truly magnificent.
Yang Yi and Eric got out of the car, and Anton left with Ian.
Though still in pain, Yang Yi could at least walk now. A severe blow to the groin was excruciating, but the pain wouldn't last too long, something any man who had experienced it would understand.
Once Anton had gone, Yang Yi trusted he would certainly get Ian to France.
