Chapter 3 — A Complete Human Life

A series of specialized terms, combined with a business card, made him dismiss his doubts. But it made Phuong Tinh turn to look at me in confusion. Her nanny happens to be a… chief researcher? How come you never knew? I was dragged onto the stage, Phuong Tinh tried to pull me back but I removed my hand. "Assured." In a hidden corner, a young girl looked at me with tears in her eyes. Her hand was still warm when I held it. From the beginning, when protecting Phuong Tinh entered here, I silently observed all around, looking for weaknesses. When the robber mentioned the word "Tieu...", the girl trembled slightly. Even though I hid it very quickly, I noticed it in time. I guess she is the real Tieu Sach. Sure enough, when the robbers took innocent people's lives to force them, disgust and hesitation flashed in her eyes. When the countdown timer had 3 minutes left, her eyes were fierce, as if she had made up her mind. She took out a card from her pocket, preparing to walk out. Just a second before she could move forward, I held her arm tightly. “Trust me, give me your ID card.” I use a small voice. “Impossible, how could I let my aunt take the risk!” The girl firmly refused. “Don't talk too much, task force A, I used to be the captain.” My eyes flashed. She was stunned - task force A, the spearhead of the national special forces, had been told about it by her father. “Is… aunt?” But looking at my gray hair, she still hesitated and couldn't bear to give it. “There's no time left, hide yourself quickly.” I snatched the card from her hand and turned towards Phuong Tinh. 6. The mercenary threw the girl he just captured aside, pulled me up, and pressed the barrel of the gun straight to my head. "Now, each of you redeem yourself for three million, transfer it to this account. If you can't do it... you die!" Having finished speaking, he pulled me towards the door, leaving his subordinates in charge of collecting the ransom. Those who lack working capital can borrow temporarily from others. They must first pass this barrier. The people on the yacht are all rich, just a necklace or watch on their hand is worth a fortune. If the ransom is not enough, take the jewelry and branded watches as mortgage. Very quickly, the amount was collected. The hired soldiers carried their bags and left in single file. I noticed that enough explosives had been placed on the hall door. Just wait for them to leave, everyone on this yacht will explode. The target mission - which is me - has been arrested, asking for a few tens of millions more is just an unexpected amount. It can't last long, if you hesitate, the maritime surveillance force will close in. So they were forced to withdraw. Sure enough, the motorboat was waiting under the ship's hull. The elevator slowly lowered down. The leader put a gun to my head and forced me to step down. At that moment, I suddenly took the gun from his hand. He couldn't believe that a fifty-year-old woman would dare to resist, and she wasn't even tied up. His disregard comes at a price. A bullet went straight through the middle of his forehead, his eyes were still full of surprise before he could close them. I pulled his body to cover, blocking the incoming bullets, then somersaulted on the floor, pulled the gun from his waist, and quickly found a hiding place. “Dang! Bang! Bang!” I pulled the trigger. One name. Two names. Three names. … All 25 mercenaries on deck collapsed one after another. Of course, I was also injured. The bullet pierced his shoulder, fresh blood soaked the upper half of his body. Are not be stopped. There are still soldiers on the motorboat, we absolutely cannot let them escape. They just laughed happily, thinking they had successfully escaped. Just a second later, bullets pierced their hearts and their bodies fell into the sea. “Beep beep beep beep!” The time bomb installed in the compartment emitted a deafening sound. On the display screen, there is very little time left. “Save lives! Save us!!” The people locked in the hall panicked, banging on the door and ramming their bodies, but to no avail. An atmosphere of despair prevailed. The hall where the party is held has an extremely high level of soundproofing and defense. Once locked, people cannot break through with normal force. No one saves, everyone is just waiting to die. I searched through the hired soldier's body, found a small knife, and used it to unscrew the bomb mask. Inside revealed a rudimentary circuit board, colorful wires, directly connected to the timer and detonator cluster. Suddenly, a male voice interrupted: "Traditional electronic time bomb, cut the red wire." I frowned in discomfort and turned back. A foreigner over two meters tall, with strong muscles, was looking at me arrogantly. “My bodyguard used to be an American soldier and has experience defusing bombs. We should listen to him.” Behind him, a guy wearing a suit, looked disdainful. I laughed coldly. What's new, since the day I was able to independently complete a mission, I've never needed anyone to teach me how to defuse a bomb. When the mercenaries massacred, where did these people hide, and now they run out and point five fingers? It's late! "Discharged American soldier? Why didn't you see him just now? What a big nerve, daring to command me?" The man in the blue suit raised his voice: "I say, old lady, he's a regular army officer, and you're just an ordinary babysitter, stop being so stubborn. Get out of the way!" I didn't expect that in this situation, there could still be such short-minded people. I just killed so many hired soldiers, are they blind? I ignored it and focused on analyzing the circuit. The American soldier did not expect that I would dare to ignore him, his face darkened, he pulled out a knife and stabbed me in the neck. Luckily I reacted in time, tilted my head to avoid it, the sharp blade only had time to cut off a strand of hair. He was unsuccessful and immediately changed direction, aiming straight at my stomach. “Damn it!” I turned around to avoid it, and at the same time counterattacked, grabbed the knife, and put all my force into pinning his hand straight to the wooden floor. “Aaaaaaa!!!” Horrible screams echoed throughout the deck. “I don't know when, you guys think you can bully me.” “But now, if anyone dares to say one more word, I will throw him to the sharks.” The strong smell of blood spread around me, and the cold tone made the whole group fall silent. The man in the suit was so scared that his legs trembled, the dark blue pants immediately became darker, and the smell was evident. Losing face, he threw away his bodyguards, grabbed his lower body and ran away. Only then could I concentrate fully on dismantling the bomb. 7. The door lock with the time bomb has been successfully removed. Just as I breathed a sigh of relief, I discovered that right under that large bomb, there was also a small time bomb attached. These mercenaries really wanted to destroy the entire ship, their thoughts were cruel to the extreme. If the person defusing the bomb was just a little careless, I'm afraid the entire hall would have turned into fireworks in the sky. This little bomb is even scarier, the countdown clock runs twice as fast. There is only 15 short minutes left. At this time, two rescue boats approached the yacht. Lifeguards boarded the ship, Seeing me covered in blood, squatting in front of the door, trying to remove the bomb, he quickly urged me to leave. I didn't move at all. “Hey, auntie, what's wrong, it's dangerous!” The commander recognized my face and promptly stopped him. “Don't touch her!” “Captain Ly, it's too dangerous, how can you let an elderly woman defuse the bomb herself!” The commander patted his shoulder reassuringly: "You don't know, she is the leader of special task force A, her bomb disposal ability is equal to our experts." — So how did the captain know? … Do you remember the time you participated in the selection of special task force A… Yes, I remember. She was the one who eliminated me in the first round. Captain Ly exclaimed, time is like water. After that slip, he moved to guard the coast, never thinking that one day he would reunite in this way. 15 minutes. A canoe full of survivors left. The other one, at my insistent request, also left the danger zone, leaving no rescue workers behind. My technique is superior to all of them, if even I can't solve it, then sacrificing at least one person would be best. They only left me with wire cutters, screwdrivers, insulating tape, and even an anti-explosion suit. Even though it's simple, it's at least better than just having a knife. The rescue team withdrew, and the people locked in the hall had no choice but to wait for me. The clock hands still move coldly. Blood from the wound in his shoulder kept leaking out, staining his shirt red. To reduce pain and maintain concentration, I regulate each breath. There was a strong smell of blood in my mouth. The small screen flashed continuously, counting down to the last number. My will was constantly being eroded by pain and blood loss. I bit my tongue, forcing myself to stay awake. Passed two false wires, finally found the correct one. The blue screen turned off. Everything fell silent. The second I fell exhausted, my hearing became blurred, I only had time to see a tall figure in an explosion-proof suit opening the hall door. Everyone inside rushed out, crying and laughing, hugging each other to celebrate their escape. No one noticed me leaning against the wall, covered in blood. The rescue team immediately returned and carefully put the detonated bomb into an explosion-proof box. Phuong Tinh's eyes turned red, she rushed over and hugged me tightly, trembling to the point of not being able to utter a complete sentence. "Threatened me to die... Auntie, come home and I'll give you a raise! Stay awake, don't sleep! If you sleep, you'll die!" In my coma, I just wanted to laugh, but I could only sigh inside. “The kid is so annoying, it's so noisy.”
