Chapter 553: Sacrificing His Life to Save Her


    As soon as she is in the water, Hawk follows in. However, only his legs are in the water. He supports


    his upper body by grabbing the entrance of the secret passageway with his strong arm. He takes out


    the short and exquisite pistol with muffler from behind his waist and fires two shots at the window in


    front of him.


    Lily can''t see anything. The rain is too heavy. The water level rises, and the ripples be bigger. She


    is suddenly pushed into the river and poured a few mouthfuls of water before stabilizing herself.


    Hawk seals the entrance in a casual manner and swims downstream with the current.


    The huge impact of water pushes Lily forward. In the heavy rain, she can barely see the river ahead of


    her, so she could only be taken by Hawk.


    She tries to call for help, but once she opens her mouth, the water rushes into her mouth. She finds her


    trachea choking with water and feels pain.


    After a while, Lily feels her entire body almost being frozen from the icy river. When she is in a daze,


    Hawk finally brings her to the shore against the direction of the current with his strength.


    Not long after, they climb onto the shore. Before Lily could catch her breath, her clothes are suddenly


    ripped off. The next second, a square ck box appears on her waist.


    Lily frowns and subconsciously reaches out her hand to pull it off. Before she could touch it, Hawk


    warns in an indifferent voice, "That''s a time bomb. Don''t move if you want to live."


    Lily stiffens. When her gazends on the little box again, her forehead has been covered with cold


    sweat.


    "If you run away or make a sound that I don''t want to hear, I will detonate it at once." Hawk says in a


    completely calm voice, as if detonating a bomb is as simple as breaking a balloon.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    Now that the bomb is tied to her body, the panicked Lily, instead, calms herself down. She narrows her


    eyes and watches him put the gun and magazine buried under the tree on his body, saying, "If you


    detonate it, both of us will die."


    "Is there any difference between being caught by the police and dying for me?" Hawk chuckles.


    Apparently, he has prepared for the worst.


    The rain falls on their bodies, cracking. Lily looks down at the man squatting on the ground and says,


    "So, the police are here."


    Hawk pauses for a moment before realizing that she only spoke to get information from him just now.


    Heughs, his voice being covered by the rain. He doesn''t know if he should praise her for being


    intelligent or cunning. He stands up and walks to her. "That''s right. You''d better pray to the heavens for


    living through tonight."


    With that, he stops talking nonsense and walks straight forward. Lily tightly clutches the corner of the


    bomb and follows closely behind.


    It is raining heavily. Even though she tries her best to leave her footprints, the footprints are soon


    washed away by the rain. She knows that Rex has been here save her. After more than 10 days of hell,


    he finally arrives at her side regardless of all obstacles.


    Lily''s eyes are red. When she thinks of Rex, who is in a corner of this forest, her heart couldn''t help but


    beat wildly.


    It is the only time within these days that she sees the hope in her life.


    At her sight, Hawk''s receding figure is so clear. She wants to go up against him countless times, but


    she can''t, because he takes too many weapons with him and she is unarmed.


    If she resists, she would be killed.


    She can''t die. To save her, Rex has made so many efforts. This is the most critical moment of the


    rescue. She can''t let down her guard.


    Facing with the danger which threatens one''s life, no one knows what would happen in the next


    second. All he could do is to protect himself.


    ...


    On the other side, in the forest, themandos manage to control the criminals surrounding the cabin


    with great difficulty. Just as they are about to enter the cabin tounch a surprise attack, they hear two


    gunshots from the cabin. The captain nervously bends down at the door, his hands tightly gripping the


    pistol, and then winks at a man behind him.


    The man kicks the door open, and all themandos in ck rush in. They aim at every corner of the


    room. By the time they enter the deepest room, they find Lily no longer there. There is only a removed


    table.


    The captain steps forward, pries open the floor and aim at the entrance, only to see the rolling river.


    "Damn! He fled!" The captain curses in a low voice and immediately orders themandos


    downstream to stand by. "Hawk escaped, and the hostage also disappeared. Send people to search


    the middle and lower reaches of the river. Be careful!"


    Upon receiving the order, the team downstream sends people to search for Hawk and Lily along the


    river. Rex is also in the car downstream of the river, but he is still somewhat far away from the forest.


    Hearing the order, he ponders for a moment before taking off his coat and putting on the bulletproof


    vest in the back seat. He does it in a determined manner and without the slightest hesitation.


    Thinking of what Rex has donest time, the captain has asked two special police officers to watch


    over him. He said it is a protection, but in fact, he is worried that Rex would do something irreparable


    on impulse.


    Now, what he is worried about just happens.


    "Mr. Rex, you can''t enter the forest without cover. It''s too dangerous for you to go alone!"


    "That''s right. Moreover, the mission has been nned and rehearsed many times in advance. If you act


    without permission, the other teams will be affected."


    In other words, they are afraid that Rex can''t assist them but even holds them down.


    Rex knows what they are indicating.


    Under the worried gazes of the two officers, he does not get out of the car on impulse. Instead, he puts


    on his coat and sits back in the car. "Did I say I want to leave?"


    The two officers look at each other and then at the bulletproof vest on his body.


    Rex does not look up and turns around to look at the rolling mountains not far away that are enveloped


    by dark clouds. "Don''t worry. I only wore this to protect myself."


    Hearing that, the officers heave a sigh of relief. They are truly afraid that Rex would lose his calmness


    and they can''t stop him. At such a moment, they are most afraid that any ident would happen.


    But they don''t know how tormented Rex is under his calm face. He can''t wait to rush into the forest to


    save Lily.


    Heavy raindrops hit the ss. There is no sign that it would stop raining. Instead, the rain is pouring


    down more heavily.


    Rex tightly clenches the big palms on his knees into fists and closes his eyes. He has promised the


    captain that he must calm down. Without permission, he won''t leave the car. And the captain has also


    swore that he would bring Lily back alive.


    For this promise, he must wait.


    The air is exceptionally wet. After a while, the rain has subsided a bit and a mist fills the mountain.


    Such a weather makes everyone even more nervous.


    Suddenly, a loud soundes from the silent listening device. Everyone holds his breath after hearing


    the starling sound. The channel signal is lost, leaving only an ear-piercing buzzing sound. The officer in


    charge of surveince hurriedly reconnect the signal to contact the captain.


    "Captain Chao, can you hear me?"


    "Captain Chao? Are you still there? This is the surveince center."


    "Captain Chao..."


    Finally, therees a buzzing sound from the listening devices again. At such an emergency, the


    captain''s voice is heard. "There''s an ambush downstream of the river. Our people are injured. I''m


    heading downstream now. I need reinforcements."


    "Roger."


    The police immediately undergo an emergent dispatch and reinforcements. Nearly 50 special police


    officers enter the forest. Everyone is fully armed and they all put on solemn expressions. The number


    of the enemies is only half of the people they have sent, but reinforcements are actually needed. One


    could imagine how intense the battle inside is.


    It seems to be peaceful inside the forest, but in fact, it is filled with dangers.


    Things go sideways. The officers in the mission are all trying to adapt themselves to the change as


    soon as possible. When they manage to deploy the reinforcements and return to the car, they lose


    sight of Rex. Instead, two armed officers are lying unconsciously on the seat.


    "No!"
