Pei Xiaonan went to get some drinks, leaving Song Ran alone and feeling a bit bored. She picked up her phone and started watching cartoons. Just then, Li Zan arrived, but Song Ran didn’t recognize him at first. She thought it was Pei Xiaonan returning and told her not to let anyone know she was watching cartoons. Li Zan sat down next to Song Ran and joked around with her.

After drinking a bit too much, Song Ran slowly lay down and fell asleep. Li Zan then took Song Ran back to the dormitory, where Pei Xiaonan was already asleep. At that moment, Benjamin walked in, seeing that both the girls were drunk and sleeping. With a sigh, he left, disappointed. The next morning, Song Ran was woken up by the noise of training in the military camp.

When she saw the time on her phone, she realized it was already late and began packing her things to leave. Just then, Li Zan appeared and informed her of her schedule for the day. Song Ran was surprised and asked how he knew. Li Zan explained that she had mentioned it the night before when she was drunk. Song Ran, a bit embarrassed, tried to remember what she had said, especially some of her secrets.

Li Zan and Song Ran went to the hotel where she was supposed to do the interview. They took the hotel elevator, and every time the elevator moved up a floor, it required a little bounce. At first, Song Ran didn’t realize and instinctively grabbed Li Zan, which made her feel a bit awkward. Sa Xin introduced Song Ran to his colleagues, and they happened to meet an industry professional that Song Ran greatly respected, Mike.

Song Ran was about to greet him, but he ignored her. Sa Xin gave Song Ran a bulletproof vest. The group was talking about a famous piece that Song Ran had photographed, which caught Mike’s attention. However, Mike seemed to have some prejudice against Song Ran, speaking rudely to her. Song Ran stood her ground and argued back. Suddenly, gunfire rang out as the rebels, now in a more ruthless state, were attacking civilians. The entire city was in danger.

Song Ran then overheard people selling tickets on the black market. With the current situation in Hepu, people were desperate to escape, but there were limited tickets. Song Ran saw a few civilians pleading with the ticket sellers to lower the prices, but the sellers were unmoved. She borrowed money from her colleagues in an attempt to help buy tickets, but Mike thought Song Ran’s actions wouldn’t make much of a difference.

Despite everything, Song Ran threw herself into her busy work. One day, while she was writing an article, she suddenly heard gunfire outside the window. Worried about Li Zan, she learned that Jiang Lin was leading a team to fight the rebels while Li Zan had put on his bomb disposal suit, preparing to defuse landmines. At the height of the battle, the rebels used children as human shields, and no one dared to shoot.

However, Benjamin seized the opportunity when the rebels were careless and shot one of them accurately. The child who had been taken hostage was the same child Benjamin had helped in the camp earlier that day. The child was strapped with explosives, and Li Zan quickly moved to help defuse the bomb. Song Ran, anxious about Li Zan’s safety, rushed to the combat zone. She happened to see an explosion, and with great worry, followed the others to safety.

However, there were more explosives that were triggered, and Li Zan urgently told everyone to evacuate. Song Ran stayed by the bomb as it neared its detonation time. As the bomb was about to explode, she couldn’t help but shout Li Zan’s name at the top of her lungs. Li Zan was thrown by the shockwave of the explosion, but he wasn’t seriously hurt. Seeing that he was okay, Song Ran was deeply relieved and felt a surge of emotions.
