Chapter: 368
Everyone couldn�t believe what they�d just seen.
�How dare you? This is your fault, girl! Now, you�ll all die!� The man screamed and yanked the bomb�s safety string.
Everybody screamed in fear.
�Watch out!�
Renee was pulled aside, and was soon buried in a warm chest. Confused, she looked up and found herself in Stefan�s strong arms. It was strangely comforting, like an impenetrable wall against the dangers outside. It felt like they were in an apocalypse drama. The two of them had never been so close to each other before!
However, the explosion they expected never happened.
A white puff of smoke appeared, signaling that the bomb had failed to explode.
�W�What�s going on? Why didn�t it explode?� The man looked at the bomb strapped to his waist in confusion. The people around him looked at each other, equally perplexed.
Renee calmly pulled away from Stefan and looked at the man with a victorious smile on her face. �Your bomb was well�designed, but the safety string wasn�t firm enough. When you caught me earlier, I only needed to gently touch it to remove it. The gunpowder already leaked through the gap, so of course it didn�t explode!�
�H�How do you know how to defuse a bomb?� The man asked in disbelief.
�I know enough for me to deal with simple toys like yours,� Renee said with a smirk on her face. The bomb was clearly homemade and of the lowest quality; she could�ve defused it with her eyes closed.
�You really are impressive, young lady.� The man was quickly subdued, but he sincerely admitted his defeat.
The people around them were also full of praise for Renee. Nobody expected a girl who seemed so vulnerable to actually know how to defuse a bomb!
Renee lifted her chin in Stefan�s direction, a cheeky smile on her face. �What do you think? I rescued you again!�
Stefan didn�t speak. He just turned around and left, a somewhat weary look on his face.
�Hey, you�re not very grateful, are you? How can you treat your savior like this?� Renee didn�t know what she�d done to offend the man, and was about to go after him and find out.
Suddenly, a woman charged through the crowd and hugged Jane. �Jane! Oh, my dear Jane!�
The woman was none other than Jane�s biological mother, Sandra. �Jane, are you alright? I think your neck is bleeding! Does it hurt? I�ll take you to the hospital right away!�
Sandra picked Jane up and looked at her over anxiously, tears streaming down her cheeks. She had been reading a dossier when she saw the live broadcast on TV, and was shocked when she realized that her precious daughter had been kidnapped. She immediately dropped whatever she was doing and drove as fast as she could to get to the mall.
Fortunately, her daughter had only suffered some minor external injuries, thanks to Renee�s selfless act. JrNovels.com
