Rescue!
Why am I always involved in such messy matters!
Qiao Qiao hugged her head as she thought to herself in despair.
She might as well fight it out with that man!
When Qiaoqiao saw the head of that pair of leather shoes, Qiaoqiao already had the mentality of a broken jar smashing it to pieces. But just as she was about to stake it all against that murderous demon, the whole building suddenly shook violently, and a burst of ear-piercing explosion sounded.
Qiao Qiao: "!!"
What was going on?
Was the building really going to explode?
Qiao Qiao leaned against the wall, still in a daze.
The man paused and cursed irritably, "It's already at this point? You've gone overboard … "
He glanced viciously at Lacey, who was already in a semi-conscious state, and said coldly, "An ant should just die like an ant!"
With that, he shot Lacey once more and turned to leave.
Qiao Qiao heard the footsteps fading away, but she still didn't dare to let down her guard. She held her breath until the man's footsteps faded away and disappeared. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, the ground beneath her feet suddenly cracked open. Before Qiao Qiao could react, she felt the ground beneath her feet become empty, and she started to fall.
At that moment, she felt as though the world had turned dark.
— —
J Country's capital, Guang Di Building, had been attacked by terrorists and caused a huge uproar.
It was said that there was an auction going on there, and the terrorists were most likely targeting the rich businessmen and the priceless exhibits inside. Now that the building had collapsed, a portion of the people were trapped inside, and the special forces were actively trying to rescue them.
Outside the building.
He Shaochen's face was frosty as he stared at the collapsed building in front of him. Qiao Qiao was trapped inside, and her fate was unknown.
"He Shaochen, his Clan's rescue team is all in place, and they are now meeting up with the special forces from J Country, and are heading towards the building to rescue her." Qin Dong's voice was trembling with fear. He Shaochen's cold aura was suffocating.
He Shaochen looked straight ahead and ordered, "Report to me as soon as you find him."
"Yes." Qin Dong nodded and turned around to deploy. He Shaochen said lightly, "If we can't find them, they don't have to come out."
Qin Dong couldn't help but shudder.
Ravel was also giving orders at the scene. This kind of thing should be done by his executive officer, but today was different. His executive officer, Lacey Brittany Isabelle, was also trapped inside.
When Ravel saw He Shaochen, he forced a smile and said, "Mr. He, I'm very sorry to have caused you such an unpleasant experience in our country."
He Shaochen glanced at him coldly. His voice was faint, and his words were blunt. He said, "You'd better pray that this matter has nothing to do with your executive officer. Otherwise, I don't mind dealing a political and economic blow to your J Country."
After that, he brushed past Ravel.
Ravel looked at the ruined building and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Even if he really wanted to assassinate Qiao Qiao, he wouldn't let Lacey take the risk.
This accident, no one expected it, and no one expected it to happen.
Now, he could only pray and hope that Lacey didn't have an accident.

And in the basement of the building.
It was pitch black inside, and the top was covered by shattered rocks. Not even the slightest bit of light could pass through. Qiaoqiao had fainted from the violent tremors, and it was unknown how much time had passed before she slowly woke up. She pressed down on her dizzy head and tried to straighten up.
Fortunately, they were in a triangular area. When the house collapsed, this was the most solid place, and they managed to avoid the impact of the first tremor. This could be considered a blessing in disguise. Now, what she needed to do was to conserve her strength as much as possible and wait for help.
She took out her phone. The battery was full, but the signal was blocked. She couldn't send out messages.
What made her more distressed was the people around her.
Qiao Qiao turned around and saw a woman leaning against the wall and coughing softly. This person was none other than Ravel's executive officer, Lacey.
This person was also a weirdo. She had clearly been shot twice, but she was still alive. Her vitality was as tenacious as a cockroach.
Qiao Qiao relied on the light of the phone and walked to Lacey's side. She said, "I gave you a simple bandage, but it won't be of much use. Hold on. He Shaochen and Ravel must have called someone to call us. As long as they can find us, we can be rescued."
"Cough, cough …"
Lacey coughed a few more times. Every time she coughed, a lot of blood foam came out.
One bullet hit her shoulder, and the other hit her heart. However, Lacey's heart was born a little to the right, so she just avoided a fatal injury. But now she couldn't be treated. If she continued to lose blood, she would definitely go into shock.
Lacey's little face was bloodless. Under the light of the phone, she was as pale as a ghost.
Her voice was weak. She said lightly, "Why did you save me? You should have heard the conversation between me and that person just now, right? "
Qiao Qiao sat beside Lacey and curled her body. She nodded. "I heard everything. But that's between you and Ravel. It won't stop me from saving you."
Lacey turned her head and sneered. "Too naive."
"Haha, naive? Maybe. " Qiao Qiao smiled. She looked at Lacey's beautiful little face and raised her eyebrows. "If I'm naive, Miss Lacey should be even more naive than me. We're the same."
Lacey heard that and frowned. "I don't understand what you're talking about."
"If you want to play dumb, I won't stop you." Qiao Qiao shrugged.
She recalled what had happened just now. Logically speaking, she and Ravel were enemies now. As Ravel's executive officer, Lacey should have wanted to kill her, just like how Isabelle had dealt with her. At that time, they had both been affected by the explosion and fainted, but Lacey had woken up faster than her. If she really wanted to kill her, she had countless opportunities. Moreover, after the incident, she could have said that she had died because of the collapse, but Lacey didn't kill her.
It was precisely because of this that Qiaoqiao decided to help Lacey.
She looked at the woman who was about the same age as her silently, thinking that this woman might not be as bad as she thought.
However, she guessed wrong. Lacey was definitely a typical bad person in her heart. The reason why she didn't kill her wasn't out of compassion, but purely because Ravel had said before that she couldn't kill Qiao Qiao.
All of Lacey's actions were based on Ravel's.
The surroundings were quiet and there was no sound at all. There were many corpses around, and the blood had coagulated on the ground, emitting a faint smell of blood, giving people a gloomy feeling.
Qiao Qiao felt a little nauseous because of the pungent smell of blood, and her lower abdomen started to hurt at an untimely time.
She pressed her lower abdomen and curled up her body a little tighter.
Baby, you must be good. Daddy will come to save us soon. Hold on.
Qiao Qiao buried her head in her knees, hoping to block out the smell of blood.
"Your Highness, use this."
Suddenly, a square handkerchief was handed to Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Qiao looked up and saw the handkerchief. She looked at the other party in confusion. Lacey's weak voice sounded. "After the collapse of the explosion, there are a lot of unknown gases mixed in. Your Highness, it's better to use this to cover your mouth and nose."
"Thank you."
Qiao Qiao took the handkerchief.
Lacey suppressed a few coughs and didn't say anything else.
Qiao Qiao saw her appearance and couldn't bear it. She asked: "Don't you have a handkerchief? You're the one who's seriously ill now. You can keep this. "
Lacey looked up and down Qiao Qiao and couldn't help but shake her head: "Although I'm seriously injured, compared to Your Highness's delicate body, I'm still much stronger. I still want to keep my life. Please don't talk to me anymore."
With that, she closed her eyes and didn't say anything else.
Qiao Qiao didn't say anything else. She felt that Ravel, the executive officer, was cold and not easy to get along with. Compared to Isabelle, who hid a knife in her smile, Qiao Qiao felt that Lacey was much cuter.
She stayed with Lacey and waited for rescue. Lacey's breathing was getting weaker and weaker. Qiao Qiao felt that something was wrong. She reached out to touch Lacey's hand and found that it was bone-chillingly cold.
Oh no!
Qiao Qiao's expression changed, and she patted Lacey's cheek: "Miss Lacey, hey, wake up, don't fall asleep."
But Lacey's reaction was also extremely weak.
It seemed that she could die at any time.
"If you fall asleep now, you'll be finished!" Qiao Qiao shouted at Lacey. She didn't know why she was working so hard for her sworn enemy's subordinate, but she just didn't want to see a living person die in front of her. She didn't want to see another person die.
What's more, she didn't think that Lacey was such a bad woman. Now that she was in such a dark place with dead people around her, if she was alone, she probably wouldn't be able to bear it and break down.
No matter what, she wanted to save Lacey.
But Lacey's reaction made her very desperate.
If rescue didn't arrive in time, Lacey probably wouldn't be able to survive.
There were ruins everywhere, and Qiao Qiao didn't dare to run around. One reason was that she was afraid of another collapse, and she didn't know where to run. She was even more worried about leaving Lacey here alone, but there was no signal on her phone, so she could only stay with Lacey and try to talk to her.
She continued: "Try to think about the beautiful things. Think about how many people are waiting. The people you care about, the people who care about you, are all waiting for you to return safely. Don't die here!"
But after saying this, Lacey didn't have much of a reaction.
"You should have unfulfilled wishes, right? Don't you think it's a pity to die like this? Persevere, Lacey! "
"Wishes …?"
Lacey said softly, and a tear streaked across the corner of her eye. No matter how hard she tried, her consciousness became more and more blurred, and her body became colder and colder.
"Your Highness … Your Highness …"
Lacey moaned softly.
Qiao Qiao thought she was calling her, so she responded.
But she found that she was wrong. Lacey was calling Ravel.
"Ravel … Your Highness …"
She didn't want to die. She didn't want to die yet. She hadn't seen Ravel ascend the throne yet. How could she die here?
Qiao Qiao held Lacey in her arms and rubbed her hands, hoping to warm her up.
"Yes, think more about being with Ravel. Lacey, don't fall asleep."
Qiao Qiao whispered.
Every time Lacey was about to fall asleep, Qiao Qiao would wake her up. No matter what, she couldn't let her fall asleep.
Just like this, who knew how long it had been.
Finally, there was a slight movement above her head.
Qiaoqiao raised her head and saw that dust was beginning to fall from above. Not long after, a ray of light shone in, bringing hope to the pitch-black space.
And the first head to appear was He Shaochen.
The moment Qiao Qiao saw He Shaochen, she became excited. She waved at He Shaochen. "Shaochen! Shaochen! I'm here! "
