Chapter 1249: Chapter 1240 Unexpected (6)
A comrade he had faced life and death with, and the woman he loved.
Moreover, the comrade had borne humiliation and heavy burdens, changed his na and lived undercover for many years. This ti, he played an indispensable role in successfully infiltrating the village and breaking into the mansion. Although the heroine was the woman he cherished, she had deceived him. She was the second most wanted criminal on his capture list, and even if she were saved or helped them out this ti in an act of redemption, she still wouldn’t escape the law’s punishnt in the end.
Of course, he must still save her, even if she was a criminal; he couldn’t lightly decide her fate. Life and punishnt should be judged by law, and it’s not his place to make those choices.
But at this very mont, without needing to think, whoever he chooses to save first will survive. The one left behind would likely be engulfed by the collapsing house and the subsequent explosion.
It should be an easy choice, as he had just decided to abandon the heroine and save the second male lead. But now, the protagonist hesitated.
Others seed to not understand his predicant at this mont; having just escaped with their lives, they imdiately turned back to prepare for rescue. Certainly, comrades would naturally first save the second male lead, particularly after knowing he was one of their own.
But the problem was, both the heroine and the second male lead had their legs pinned by a collapsed steel beam. To save them, the beam could only be moved aside. If this were their ho country, and if there were other rescue asures available, and ti to spare, they would have been able to save both of them completely.
But the building continued to collapse, explosions persisted, and this was abroad, where the impoverished people could only rely on growing poppies for inco. How could there be such advanced rescue equipnt and personnel?
In this critical mont, the second male lead awoke from the unconsciousness caused by the blow. He was fond of the heroine; he knew she wasn’t that bad and had done many good things, but was simply “forced by circumstances” having grown up here.
After he woke, he shouted of course, demanding that the heroine be saved first. If she didn’t get out, he wouldn’t leave.
With his words, the comrades had no choice but to turn their attention to the heroine.
The protagonist’s gaze remained on the heroine. The heroine, too, looked at the protagonist. Though monts earlier, when faced with choosing between her and the second male lead, the protagonist chose the comrade over her, she didn’t bla him. She couldn’t change her brother and others, nor pull them out of the abyss. She had even brought enemies to destroy her brother’s painstakingly built organization.
What the protagonist did was right; she wouldn’t hate him, but she also didn’t want her brother and the others to die alone. She simply smiled and said, “Save him first.”
The second male lead turned back in shocked disbelief, sensing sothing. The protagonist’s gaze was filled with pain, yet he didn’t stop them.
But with those words said, the other comrades worked together to pull him out of the abyss. The steel beam, which was originally a supporting point here, was pried open, breaking the balance, and unsurprisingly, the entire building collapsed.
In her last monts, her face was sared with dust and blood, her hair was disheveled, her clothes were torn and dirty. She quietly looked up at the protagonist from below, smiling, as the director required her to perform without makeup. Though dirty and in disarray, she looked stunningly beautiful. Then, with a rumbling reminiscent of an earthquake, as they just burst through the mansion’s outer wall, the entire building exploded like a volcanic eruption.
The protagonist carried the second male lead on his back, fleeing outward, not daring to look back.
