"Do you remember the glass of juice that I made you drink earlier?" Housekeeper Qin asked.
Long Xun nodded.
"Well, I mixed something into your glass which will take away half of your strength." Housekeeper Qin laughed.
"Why?" Long Xun asked through gritted teeth.
"Because I have placed many bombs here in this house. I know that once I leave here, you will come after me. So, to keep you a little busy, I did all of this." Housekeeper Qin informed. He glanced at his watch and after seeing the time, he chuckled, "You have five minutes to save yourself and your wife otherwise boom! Hahaha.... ."
"Bye-bye Long Xun!" Housekeeper Qin waved his hand and he left the room with a big smile on his face.
After Housekeeper Qin has left, Long Xun sneered and he glanced at Su Yanyan who was standing next to him. She was watching him carefully and he knew that. He liked that her eyes were on him. He knew that she was confused regarding his actions but he didn't want to explain anything to her.
"Yanyan, help me!" he said asking for her help.
Su Yanyan glanced at him for a moment before giving a sigh and helping him up. Long Xun smiled placing his arms around her waist and pulling her closer to him with the little strength that he had left in his body.
"Yanyan, that old man is playing a game with us. We have to run from here before he catches us, otherwise, we are dead. So, will you help me in winning this game?" he asked in a childish tone.
Su Yanyan: ".... ."
She glanced at him not knowing what to think about his words at all. One time, he acted as if he knew everything about her and the other time, he acted with her as if he knew nothing about her. She was going mad. She didn't know what to think about his actions. She found herself helpless in this situation.
With Su Yanyan's help, Long Xun quickly started walking towards the entrance of the Mansion. He was sure that Housekeeper Qin wasn't kidding when he spoke about the bombs that he planted inside the mansion. As he came out of the dungeon with Su Yanyan's help, he glanced through the living areas and soon he noticed a bomb with a timer attached to one of the pillars inside the hall.
Long Xun narrowed his eyes at the bomb and he wondered about what was going inside his wife's brain while she was planning all of this. Was she that crazy to go to this extent? He even felt a little angry that she didn't care about her own life but on thinking about her predicament, he also felt pity for her. Nobody should be put into that situation. And that's why Long Xun made a promise to himself and he would make that old hag's life worse than death.

Su Yanyan also glanced at the timer that was ticking and she wondered what was going inside Long Xun's mind. If possible, she wanted to know about his thoughts.
They were walking at such a slow pace, even slower than a snail because of some weird drugs that Housekeeper Qin has fed him. She didn't know anything about this drug thing. It was not in their plan to weaken Long Xun but that bastard Housekeeper Qin went according to his wishes.
That bastard is gone but now she is stuck amid this dying situation with a weak person. She glanced at Long Xun who didn't look bothered by the fact that the timer was ticking. He was fearless, unfazed as if they were completely safe.
At times, she felt maybe she should just knock him out and rush out of this Mansion, but she can't do. She is a helpless, simple girl and she can't act differently and make Long Xun suspicious about her. Until and unless Long Xun confronts her, she had decided not to act on her speculation and to go according to the plan.
Su Yanyan cursed Housekeeper Qin in her mind countlessly for putting her in this dangerous situation. She quickly calculated the time left on the bomb. Only two minutes remained and there was a long way ahead towards the door.
Biting her lips, Su Yanyan fixed her eyes at the door while silently calculating the time in her mind.
One minute more...
Gritting his teeth, Long Xun forced himself to walk faster. He knew that only one minute remained on the timer. He fastened his steps as much as he could using all the little strength that he had in his body. They were so close. A few more steps and they would be out of this mansion.
Just when Long Xun and Su Yanyan stepped outside the mansion, a loud bang reverberated throughout the whole area.
BOOM!
A large area was covered with dust and smoke. The whole ground was shaken due to the big explosion and for a moment nothing could be seen. Luckily, Long Xun's mansion was in a very secluded area with no houses around so nobody was injured. Large debris of broken things was scattered everywhere. Once a beautiful mansion was made into dust in just a matter of seconds.
Because of the explosion, Long Xun and Su Yanyan went thrown in the air, and then they fell on the ground, a few feet away from the mansion. Long Xun quickly took Su Yanyan in his arms so that she wouldn't be hurt as they came crashing onto the ground.
Long Xun's entire back ached in pain but he didn't care about that. He glanced at Su Yanyan to check whether she was alright or not. Even, Su Yanyan was surprised to find herself in Long Xun's arm for she was being protected by him like a delicate flower.
Just when she was about to ask him about his condition, Long Xun quickly turned them around. It all happened in a second that Su Yanyan got no time to react. Her eyes went wide when she saw a big piece of wood, slamming on Long Xun's back.
