When Mint and her mother-in-law Song Qingyu arrived at the Camden district in London's financial and business district, it was already dark. A dense crowd gathered on the street outside the car. There were reporters, police and ordinary people, all looking at

There is a tall building in front of us, and this building is the headquarters of Zhan International.

Song Qingyu opened the car door and got out of the car with a serious expression. Mint paid the pound and followed hurriedly.

"Madam!" The driver who had been looking up for a long time immediately saw them and ran over. However, because there were so many people here, the driver still knew how to keep a low profile and hurriedly approached before calling in a low voice, "

Madam, young madam, you are here."

After all, Song Qingyu had seen the world. After the initial nervousness, she calmed down first. She looked at the driver and asked, "What's going on?"

The driver looked at the building anxiously and then said in a low voice: "There are explosives in the building!"

"Explosives!?" Mint shouted, who would put explosives!?

The driver nodded and said nervously: "We are still detecting, and everyone in the company has evacuated. But the chairman and president are still on the seventeenth floor. What should we do?"

Mint looked at the formation in front of him, and it seemed that it was indeed true.

"Take me in!" Song Qingyu ordered forcefully.

"No, madam, I dare not..."

Song Qingyu shouted sternly: "You dare to tell me, but you don't dare to take me in!?"

The driver looked embarrassed, and Song Qingyu said again: "If you don't take me in, I will fire you immediately! David, I will do what I say."

Faced with Song Qingyu's cold and steady tone and threatening words, the driver David hesitated for a long time, but turned around and immediately led the way: "Madam, young madam, please follow."

Song Qingyu looked at Mint with a solemn expression. Before she spoke, Mint nodded gently towards her. She didn't expect to share the blessings, but there would definitely be difficulties.

"Okay." Song Qingyu also smiled slightly, her expression seemed to be much more relaxed, and she took Mint's hand and followed David.

David didn't know what he said to the policeman. The policeman looked at Bo Mint and Song Qingyu each and asked the policeman to immediately clear the way for the three of them. The focus of everyone's attention immediately shifted to the three of them. A reporter

She seemed to recognize Song Qingyu as the wife of the chairman of the Zhan family, and immediately pointed and shouted, and everyone's flashlights turned towards her.

Mint was always used to being strict. Even though he had entered a cordon or something, he still asked her mother-in-law in her ear at a volume that only two people could hear: "Mom, can this David be trusted?"

Song Qingyu only nodded as an answer. Mint was slightly relieved, but at the same time he was also worried because Zhan Yifan was inside.

Entering the quiet building, a dangerous atmosphere hit him. This was Mint's first time to the headquarters of Zhan International, and he didn't expect it to be because of such an accident. It was already dusk in London, and apart from the police, there were no other people in the building.

No one else.

As soon as the policeman saw Mint and the others coming in, they walked toward them and stopped them with his hand, saying: "Madam, it's very dangerous in here, please get out."

Song Qingyu raised her eyebrows coldly: "I am the wife of the chairman of Zhan's International, my husband and my son, I must go up."

"But we haven't found the explosives yet..."

Mint insisted: "This is our own decision, please respect it." Although she was not fluent in English, she believed that her aura could barely suppress the two young policemen.

"That's... okay. But please allow us to accompany you up." The policeman backed down in compromise. Song Qingyu immediately nodded, and the five of them went upstairs together. Before entering the elevator, Song Qingyu gently held his hand.

Mint's hand gave her an appreciative look, as if to praise her for doing a good job, but Mint couldn't smile. Only after entering this building did she realize that the matter was really more serious than she thought.

Why were there explosives? The phone call she answered for her mother-in-law mentioned a gun before, so what was it? What on earth was going on? Zhan Yifan looked normal when he left, and it didn’t seem like something big had happened.

But what happened to all this now? Mint, who still felt confused, had no choice but to follow the two policemen and David to the seventeenth floor.

But things didn't go smoothly. On the tenth floor, there was a loud bang in the elevator, and the lights went out. Then there were two loud bangs, and the elevator jolted. Mint didn't even react to the elevator.

Just slide down the countryside quickly——

"There's a malfunction!" Song Qingyu shouted loudly, and Mint quickly reacted, running to the elevator button and pressing down all the floors with two fingers from top to bottom.

In the darkness, Song Qingyu shouted: "He'er, lean against the elevator wall!"

"Mom, I know. Your back and head are leaning against the wall, and your knees are bent - ah!" Before you could say anything, the elevator trembled twice again, and it stopped on the fourth floor.

Mint took a heavy breath and followed the direction of her memory in the dark toward her mother-in-law.

"Madam, young madam, are you okay?" David's anxious voice came from the darkness. Song Qingyu said softly, but Mint felt strange, why didn't he hear the voices of the two policemen? Mother-in-law

Her hand suddenly felt heavy, and the heavy mint made her gasp slightly in her heart, but she also felt that this thing was a bit strange, too... quiet.

"Bang!" There was a sound, and the elevator lit up. It was David's lighter that illuminated the darkness. In a dark space, lighting a lighter is an act of suicide, because it will absorb all the oxygen for people and make people trapped in the elevator

People have difficulty breathing and even fall into coma due to lack of oxygen.

But at this moment, Mint could no longer think too much, because there were two people lying on the ground, right in front of her feet. They were the two young policemen. David was still breathing slightly, and the faint light from the lighter

Showing his pale face, Mint stepped back and looked at the two people on the ground with a police look. Obviously... when she just touched her mother-in-law, there were no obstacles on the ground. It only took a few seconds.

How did they...?

Mint looked at David suspiciously. David put out the lighter in his hand and gasped slightly before saying: "Madam, there is no doubt that I put these two people there."

Song Qingyu said in a low voice: "He'er, David is mine, don't worry."

Mint's heart felt slightly relieved, and he could no longer hide his doubts and asked: "What on earth is going on?"

Song Qingyu explained: "David is a driver on the surface, but actually a bodyguard. He was a talent carefully selected for me by your father-in-law from the retired special forces. He is very skilled and very alert. Just before entering the elevator,

, he gestured to me, and I knew he was suspicious of these two policemen. So I kept pulling you."

"It happened that the elevator was out of order, so I was given the opportunity to take action." David immediately explained, "These two policemen are very smart, and what they did was superfluous. Since we can enter the building through the gate in a big way, we must

Even though I had the order, they still asked and took the opportunity to go upstairs with us, so I

Suspicious. And there is..." As David explained, the lights in the elevator turned on with a 'beep' sound. David's expression had returned to normal, and Mint then carefully looked at it, which usually looked different.

The driver was an eye-catching man. He was tall and strong, not as white as other Europeans, but his limbs were well developed and strong. He was indeed a skilled man.

"Also," David squatted down and pointed to the badges on the chests of the two men on the ground and said, "None of them are police officers today."

Mint looked at the police badge. She didn't understand the difference between the police badges in London, but when David said so and her mother-in-law looked at her firmly, there was no need for her to doubt it.

The elevator is on, but it's not running yet. I'm afraid there's something really wrong.

"When I answered the phone before, I heard you talking about... guns, and now you're talking about explosives. What's going on?"

"It turned out that the young lady answered the call. I was a little anxious at that time. I only heard the sound of gunshots. I had already seen that the chairman and president were not injured, but the company received a threat of explosives, or a meal of tnt explosives.

."

"Tnt? Military explosive?" Mint knows something about this. This explosive is extremely powerful. The explosion yield is three times that of ordinary ammonium nitrate explosives. If you are a professional and the layout is reasonable, let alone a five or six-year-old building.

A ten-story high-rise building, one hundred buildings in one district, is not a problem.

"Damn it!" Song Qingyu cursed in a low voice. It was clear how shady and capable her usually easy-going mother-in-law was when she became serious. She knew that her mother-in-law was angry, but why wasn't she angry? She didn't know how.

Terrorists would do such a thing, making fun of property and human life!

David tied up the two policemen he knocked down and threw them into a corner, and then began to think of a way to get out.

Mint knows that if they don't get out as soon as possible, if the explosives are not found before the fire brigade arrives, and if the terrorists detonate the explosives, they will definitely die here today!

After pressing the call bell, even though she knew there would be no one on the fourth floor at the moment, Mint kept pressing it. Sometimes hope and despair coexist, and miracles always happen after despair.

David was very agile and climbed to the top of the building while holding on to the handrail. He banged his fists a few times and sighed in frustration: "The structure of the elevator is too good to break through."

Song Qingyu looked at Mint with a guilty look on her face: "I shouldn't have brought you here."

Mint reached out and took her mother-in-law's hand: "Mom, I am your daughter-in-law. You said you don't have a daughter, so you want to treat me like a daughter. Have you forgotten?"

"That's why I regret it even more. No biological mother would bring her daughter into such a dangerous place, and no good mother-in-law could put her daughter-in-law into such a dangerous predicament. I'm sorry for your mother, and I'm sorry for Yifan. If it really happened today

If something happens here, I will hate myself to death."

"If you don't take me with you, I will hate myself to death. Mom, I know that my daughter-in-law is not qualified at all. Not only can I not be with Yifan and accompany you, but now I have to trouble my own mother.

I'll take care of you. My relatives here have a lot of complaints about me, but you never mention it. My daughter-in-law has never done anything to bring honor to your face, and so have you.

No requirements...Mom, I am really grateful to you and dad. Really. Being able to marry Yifan and marry into the Zhan family is the greatest happiness and blessing in my life." Not long ago, she was still a scared person.

Love is luxurious and family affection is a humble person, but now she has it all, whether it is friendship, love or family affection. Apart from her mother, the Zhan family is the only family member in her heart.

Minhao's sincere confession made Song Qingyu raise her eyebrows and smile with relief.

Reaching out and hugging Mint, Song Qingyu sighed: "Silly boy... Your father and I both admire girls like you, not only because you are Bai He's daughter, but also because of you as a person. We really admire you when we meet you in person.

I am so happy, because we are also proud to have a daughter-in-law like you. You are different from other girls. In our eyes, you and Yifan are the most suitable people, the most perfect pair of men and women..."

Mint has always seen and heard many stories about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. No mother-in-law in the world would really think that her daughter-in-law is worthy of her son, and no daughter-in-law can truly satisfy her mother-in-law. But in her own situation

In her mother-in-law's eyes, she always favors her, and she knew this from the beginning. This is not a false preference performed, but her mother-in-law's unique character and sincere heart towards her.

How could she let down such a mother-in-law? How could she regret it? How could she not feel happy that she could share the hardships with her today?

Mint didn't know what would happen next, and Song Qingyu tried his best to stay calm, but David was still trying hard to think of ways to overcome the difficulty of the elevator. Mint held her mother-in-law Song Qingyu's hand tightly.

To comfort her, Song Qingyu also held her hand tightly. The three of them waited with bated breath for David to create a miracle.

It was impossible to break through from above, and even more could not get out from the door. When David turned to look at Song Qingyu and Mint with sweat on his face, they knew that a miracle would hardly happen. Now they only hope that the police and fire brigade can work together.

If they find those ammunition to resolve the crisis, then they still have a chance of survival, or Zhan Yifan and the others find them trapped in the elevator, but even if they know, what can they do now?

At this moment, a "dong dong" sound suddenly came from the head. Mint looked up and saw that her mother-in-law Song Qingyu had already pulled her and asked: "He'er, did you hear any sound?"

Mint also cheered up, and her tense nerves were instantly straightened: "I heard it. It sounded like a knock on the elevator door!"

"Yes, madam, I heard it too, young madam." David said immediately.
