Let's Get Married Chapter 553: Sacrificing His Life to Save Her

As soon as she is in the water, Hawk follows in. However, only his legs are in the water. He supports
his upper body by grabbing the entrance of the secret passageway with his strong arm. He takes out
the short and exquisite pistol with muffler from behind his waist and fires two shots at the window in
front of him.

Lily can't see anything. The rain is too heavy. The water level rises, and the ripples become bigger. She
is suddenly pushed into the river and poured a few mouthfuls of water before stabilizing herself.

Hawk seals the entrance in a casual manner and swims downstream with the current.

The huge impact of water pushes Lily forward. In the heavy rain, she can barely see the river ahead of
her, so she could only be taken by Hawk.

She tries to call for help, but once she opens her mouth, the water rushes into her mouth. She finds her
trachea choking with water and feels pain.

After a while, Lily feels her entire body almost being frozen from the icy river. When she is in a daze,
Hawk finally brings her to the shore against the direction of the current with his strength.

Not long after, they climb onto the shore. Before Lily could catch her breath, her clothes are suddenly
ripped off. The next second, a square black box appears on her waist.

Lily frowns and subconsciously reaches out her hand to pull it off. Before she could touch it, Hawk
warns in an indifferent voice, "That's a time bomb. Don't move if you want to live."

Lily stiffens. When her gaze lands on the little box again, her forehead has been covered with cold
sweat.

"If you run away or make a sound that I don't want to hear, I will detonate it at once." Hawk says in a
completely calm voice, as if detonating a bomb is as simple as breaking a balloon.



Now that the bomb is tied to her body, the panicked Lily, instead, calms herself down. She narrows her
eyes and watches him put the gun and magazine buried under the tree on his body, saying, "If you
detonate it, both of us will die."

"Is there any difference between being caught by the police and dying for me?" Hawk chuckles.
Apparently, he has prepared for the worst.

The rain falls on their bodies, cracking. Lily looks down at the man squatting on the ground and says,
"So, the police are here."

Hawk pauses for a moment before realizing that she only spoke to get information from him just now.

He laughs, his voice being covered by the rain. He doesn't know if he should praise her for being
intelligent or cunning. He stands up and walks to her. "That's right. You'd better pray to the heavens for
living through tonight."

With that, he stops talking nonsense and walks straight forward. Lily tightly clutches the corner of the
bomb and follows closely behind.

It is raining heavily. Even though she tries her best to leave her footprints, the footprints are soon
washed away by the rain. She knows that Rex has been here save her. After more than 10 days of hell,
he finally arrives at her side regardless of all obstacles.

Lily's eyes are red. When she thinks of Rex, who is in a corner of this forest, her heart couldn't help but
beat wildly.

It is the only time within these days that she sees the hope in her life.

At her sight, Hawk's receding figure is so clear. She wants to go up against him countless times, but
she can't, because he takes too many weapons with him and she is unarmed.



If she resists, she would be killed.

She can't die. To save her, Rex has made so many efforts. This is the most critical moment of the
rescue. She can't let down her guard.

Facing with the danger which threatens one's life, no one knows what would happen in the next
second. All he could do is to protect himself.

...

On the other side, in the forest, the commandos manage to control the criminals surrounding the cabin
with great difficulty. Just as they are about to enter the cabin to launch a surprise attack, they hear two
gunshots from the cabin. The captain nervously bends down at the door, his hands tightly gripping the
pistol, and then winks at a man behind him.

The man kicks the door open, and all the commandos in black rush in. They aim at every corner of the
room. By the time they enter the deepest room, they find Lily no longer there. There is only a removed
table.

The captain steps forward, pries open the floor and aim at the entrance, only to see the rolling river.

"Damn! He fled!" The captain curses in a low voice and immediately orders the commandos
downstream to stand by. "Hawk escaped, and the hostage also disappeared. Send people to search
the middle and lower reaches of the river. Be careful!"

Upon receiving the order, the team downstream sends people to search for Hawk and Lily along the
river. Rex is also in the car downstream of the river, but he is still somewhat far away from the forest.

Hearing the order, he ponders for a moment before taking off his coat and putting on the bulletproof
vest in the back seat. He does it in a determined manner and without the slightest hesitation.



Thinking of what Rex has done last time, the captain has asked two special police officers to watch
over him. He said it is a protection, but in fact, he is worried that Rex would do something irreparable
on impulse.

Now, what he is worried about just happens.

"Mr. Rex, you can't enter the forest without cover. It's too dangerous for you to go alone!"

"That's right. Moreover, the mission has been planned and rehearsed many times in advance. If you act
without permission, the other teams will be affected."

In other words, they are afraid that Rex can't assist them but even holds them down.

Rex knows what they are indicating.

Under the worried gazes of the two officers, he does not get out of the car on impulse. Instead, he puts
on his coat and sits back in the car. "Did I say I want to leave?"

The two officers look at each other and then at the bulletproof vest on his body.

Rex does not look up and turns around to look at the rolling mountains not far away that are enveloped
by dark clouds. "Don't worry. I only wore this to protect myself."

Hearing that, the officers heave a sigh of relief. They are truly afraid that Rex would lose his calmness
and they can't stop him. At such a moment, they are most afraid that any accident would happen.

But they don't know how tormented Rex is under his calm face. He can't wait to rush into the forest to
save Lily.

Heavy raindrops hit the glass. There is no sign that it would stop raining. Instead, the rain is pouring
down more heavily.



Rex tightly clenches the big palms on his knees into fists and closes his eyes. He has promised the
captain that he must calm down. Without permission, he won't leave the car. And the captain has also
swore that he would bring Lily back alive.

For this promise, he must wait.

The air is exceptionally wet. After a while, the rain has subsided a bit and a mist fills the mountain.
Such a weather makes everyone even more nervous.

Suddenly, a loud sound comes from the silent listening device. Everyone holds his breath after hearing
the starling sound. The channel signal is lost, leaving only an ear-piercing buzzing sound. The officer in
charge of surveillance hurriedly reconnect the signal to contact the captain.

"Captain Chao, can you hear me?"

"Captain Chao? Are you still there? This is the surveillance center."

"Captain Chao..."

Finally, there comes a buzzing sound from the listening devices again. At such an emergency, the
captain's voice is heard. "There's an ambush downstream of the river. Our people are injured. I'm
heading downstream now. I need reinforcements."

"Roger."

The police immediately undergo an emergent dispatch and reinforcements. Nearly 50 special police
officers enter the forest. Everyone is fully armed and they all put on solemn expressions. The number
of the enemies is only half of the people they have sent, but reinforcements are actually needed. One
could imagine how intense the battle inside is.

It seems to be peaceful inside the forest, but in fact, it is filled with dangers.



Things go sideways. The officers in the mission are all trying to adapt themselves to the change as
soon as possible. When they manage to deploy the reinforcements and return to the car, they lose
sight of Rex. Instead, two armed officers are lying unconsciously on the seat.

"No!"
