Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Kim Tae-yeon lay prone on the cold ground, her slender fingers digging deeply into the earth.

She stared intently at Lin Yuan in the distance, her forehead covered in cold sweat, a silent scream emanating from her heart:
"Don't come any closer! Please, please don't come any closer!"

She knew better than anyone her life was hanging by a thread—the bomb planted by that madman could tear her to pieces at any moment.

Even so, if Lin Yuan were to risk his life for her safety, her answer would still be a resolute refusal.

This is not because her love for Lin Yuan has surpassed her desire for life.

It stems from a very simple perception: this is unfair.

Yes, her current predicament does indeed stem from that blonde madwoman's twisted love for Lin Yuan.

But this debt should be placed on that madman, not Lin Yuan.

At this moment, Lin Yuan was clearly standing safely in the distance. If she were to step into a deadly situation to save her, the debt of gratitude would be so heavy that she could never repay it in her entire life.

not to mention.
Kim Tae-yeon's gaze swept over Lin Yuan's tall and straight figure.

How many people's expectations are on this man's shoulders?

Every decision he makes affects the fate of countless people.

"A son of a wealthy family would not sit under a dangerous roof, let alone actively approach one." — She understood this principle better than anyone else.

She turned her neck with difficulty, catching a glimpse of the various expressions on the faces of the hostages around her:

Hollywood stars like Tom Cruise are looking at Lin Yuan with pleading eyes, their eyes filled with a longing for survival;
Taylor Swift, Charlize Theron, and others shouted for Lin Yuan to stay away, disregarding the danger.

"Shut up, all of you!" The blonde woman hysterically brandished the detonator, her face contorted in a grotesque grimace. "Anyone who makes a sound will be sent to meet their maker right now!"

In an instant, the entire space fell into a deathly silence.

Only the ticking of the bomb timer could be heard clearly, like the heartbeat of death.

In the suffocating silence, Lin Yuan did not move, but his body trembled slightly.

The blonde woman's maniacal laughter echoed in the empty space, sharp as glass scraping against metal: "Darling, what's wrong with you? A brave and fearless man like you can be afraid?"

Hahaha, this is so funny! I never expected to see this side of you!
You know what? You look so adorable!

I can't wait to hug you!

Lin Yuan ignored her. At this moment, he felt every muscle in his body was taut like a bowstring, his blood was throbbing in his temples, and he could feel a stinging pain in his lungs even when he breathed.

He knew that this was an instinctive bodily reaction under extreme tension and fear.

Yes, he realized that he was filled with extreme fear.

Over the years, he has filmed so many dangerous action scenes, and even when his life was hanging by a thread many times, he has never felt so afraid.

The reason is that those currently in danger are all extremely important people in his life: Taylor Swift, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron, director Christopher Nolan, director Clint Eastwood, and even his newly acquainted friends Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah...

Lin Yuan knew that at this moment, everyone's lives were in his hands.

Any wrong decision he makes will cause irreparable damage.

How could he not be afraid in this situation?

If we don't go up there, Taylor Swift and the others will die!

Go up...

I will die with Taylor Swift and the others!

Lin Yuan could clearly see that the blonde woman had no intention of letting them go.

Even if he stepped forward, the blonde woman would choose to drag more people down with her to perish together.

This is not a dilemma, but two options that will inevitably lead to death.

"Darling, my patience is only as big as a sesame seed~" The blonde woman brandished the detonator, her laughter sickeningly sweet. "If you don't come over soon, I'm going to set off fireworks!"

Seeing Lin Yuan move slightly, Meng Tao stepped forward to block his path: "Don't be foolish! She's a madwoman! She'll detonate the bomb even if you go over!"

His old partner's voice was trembling; he had clearly seen through the blonde woman's thoughts.

Suppressed sobs came from behind me.

GAKKI clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms.

Having spent every day with Lin Yuan, how could she not know what Lin Yuan was thinking at this moment?

But she wouldn't say anything. No matter what Lin Yuan wanted to do, she could only choose to support him, even though her heart was being torn to pieces.

Betty, who was standing next to Lin Yuan, did not try to persuade him either. She simply whispered into her earpiece, "Get the bomb disposal experts and snipers ready."

In truth, Betty knew that these measures were useless and only provided psychological comfort.

Betty felt an overwhelming sense of despair; she could almost see that heartbreaking moment before her eyes.

"Click, click!"

Finally, Lin Yuan resolutely took a step forward, stepping over the shards of glass scattered on the ground, and walked towards the blonde woman.

Seeing this, Kim Tae-yeon felt she could no longer hold back her tears.

Tears streamed down her face, leaving two deep lines.

he came!
Knowing full well that this was a path fraught with peril, he still came without hesitation.

She strained her eyes, trying desperately to etch that figure into her heart forever.

Lin Yuan's steps were quick and resolute, and in an instant, the distance was reduced to only about 20 meters.

"You bastard!"

When Lin Yuan actually approached, the madwoman began to wail, "Why would you be willing to die for them, but not love me like this?"

The next second, her expression suddenly changed, and she screamed hysterically, "Stop! Stop right now!"

Lin Yuan didn't want to provoke her, so he stopped in his tracks: "You're the one who told me to come closer, and now you're telling me to stop. What exactly do you want?"

The blonde woman pulled two handcuffs from her backpack and threw them over with all her might.

"Bang!"

"when!"

The two handcuffs slammed heavily to the ground.

"What is this?" Lin Yuan asked, puzzled.

“Darling, I’m your biggest fan. Every little thing about you is etched in my heart.” The blonde woman’s expression softened again.

But her next sentence immediately turned menacing: "Therefore I know all too well that you have created miracles from the impossible countless times."

"I wouldn't dare let you get so close to me. The best respect I can show you is by not giving you the slightest chance."

"Come on! Use these two pairs of handcuffs I specially made for you to cuff your hands and feet!"

Upon hearing the blonde woman's words, everyone present gasped in shock.

No one could have imagined that this seemingly crazy woman would have such a cautious side.

The blonde woman's action plunged everyone's hearts into despair.

If before everyone thought that Lin Yuan, despite his near-death experience, still had a glimmer of hope given his numerous miraculous feats, now that his hands and feet were cuffed, Lin Yuan was absolutely doomed.

"Lin Yuan, don't listen to her, whatever you do, don't wear it!" Meng Tao shouted.

"Lin Yuan, you can't wear it, please don't wear it!" Kim Tae-yeon finally couldn't control herself and shouted loudly.

"Boom!"

The next moment, Kim Tae-yeon was hit hard in the face with an elbow strike.

She fell to the ground at an angle, her temple hitting the concrete floor with a dull thud that made your teeth ache.

Blood immediately gushed from her nostrils and the corners of her mouth, leaving shocking red marks on her pale cheeks.

A bloody molar flew into the dust with a cough, and she curled up and convulsed, but still struggled to reach out her finger to Lin Yuan.

I said it.

The blonde woman stepped on Kim Tae-yeon's trembling fingers, the heel grinding against them with a cracking sound as if bones were dislocating: "Talkative people pay the price~"

"Let her go, I'll wear it," Lin Yuan said.

"That's right, darling."

The blonde woman, overjoyed, removed the shoe from Kim Tae-yeon's hand and stared intently at Lin Yuan, afraid of missing any detail.

Lin Yuan picked up the two handcuffs that she had just thrown at him from the ground, and immediately felt a chill run down his spine:
These handcuffs are clearly not standard police equipment, but rather specially modified restraint tools.

The inside of the handcuffs was welded with serrated metal protrusions, slightly upturned like shark teeth. If the handcuffed person struggled even slightly, these sharp teeth would bite deep into the flesh, scratching blood.

The outer ring of the handcuffs is reinforced with three horizontal metal strips, each about the thickness of a little finger, which strengthens the originally thin, curved handcuffs to resemble medieval torture instruments.

These reinforcing strips are not simply welded together, but are firmly driven into the body with rivets to ensure that they will not break or deform even under severe impact.

The most frustrating thing is the keyhole design—not the common cross keyhole, but a double lock cylinder that requires two keys with different teeth to be inserted at the same time to unlock it.

This means that even if someone gets the key, trying to unlock it without knowing the order will trigger a mechanism that tightens the handcuffs further.

Clearly, all of these designs were made for Lin Yuan, in order to completely eliminate any possibility of him turning the tables.

"Darling, put it on quickly, this is the strongest bond of our love!" the blonde woman urged, once again placing her foot on Kim Tae-yeon's fingers.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan had no choice but to pick up the handcuffs.

He first handcuffed his feet, then his hands.

The moment the handcuffs touched his skin, even Lin Yuan, who had experienced the icy cold of the Arctic Ocean, was sent shivering by the chilling sensation.

It wasn't just ordinary coldness; it felt like millions of ice needles were piercing through your pores and into your blood vessels, freezing your blood into a viscous liquid.

The anti-slip texture on the inside of the handcuffs scraped against his wrist like the scales of a venomous snake, reminding him of the shackles worn on condemned prisoners in ancient times—this association made his heart suddenly feel as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand.

With a "click," as the first latch engaged, Lin Yuan heard suppressed sobs coming from behind him.

But he didn't turn around; he couldn't bear to look at Betty and GAKKI's tear-streaked faces.

"I'm already handcuffed," Lin Yuan said.

"Not enough, not enough."

"What exactly do you want?!"

"How can a man as fierce as you not be bound tighter? Lock the handcuffs tighter, hurry up!"

Lin Yuan had no choice but to tighten the handcuffs again.

As he moved, the handcuffs began to retract inward.

The serrated metal edge sank into the depression of the wrist bone, slowly grinding the skin and flesh like a hydraulic press.

Lin Yuan clenched his teeth, making a soft "crackling" sound, and cold sweat dripped down his brow bone onto the handcuffs.

This actually made the handcuffs slipperier, and the serrations wedged deeper into the wrist joint.

What's more terrifying than pain is that extreme sense of insecurity.

Lin Yuan's greatest asset has always been his exceptional athletic ability.

At this moment, these two handcuffs completely stripped him of his athletic ability, which he was so proud of.

So much so that when he tried to wipe the sweat from his eyes, he was surprised to find that he couldn't even do such a simple action.

Seeing Lin Yuan sweating profusely, the blonde woman laughed maniacally, "Darling, I love how obedient you are. Come, with this sincere love, come closer to me?"
I'll give you a big hug!

near?

My hands and feet are handcuffed, and so tightly, how can I get close?
But Lin Yuan couldn't provoke her any further, otherwise Kim Tae-yeon, who was standing at her feet, might pay a terrible price in an instant.

So Lin Yuan could only awkwardly hop forward like a crane with broken wings.

Each time he was airborne, the shackles around his ankles would dig deep into his flesh.

Each time he landed, the metal chains dragged on the ground with a screeching sound, and the excruciating pain made Lin Yuan feel as if he were being tortured.

Lin Yuan's movements were very awkward because the intense pain and the increasingly tight handcuffs caused him to completely lose his balance.

On his ninth jump, Lin Yuan finally lost his balance.

He fell forward, his cheek scraping against the rough ground, kicking up a small cloud of dust.

As he struggled, the chains tightened around his ankle, the barbs drawing blood, and a stream of blood flowed down his ankle.

This scene caused everyone present to lose control, and suppressed sobs rose and fell.

Even though Kim Tae-yeon was being trampled underfoot by the blonde woman, she didn't care at all about her own injuries.

At this moment, all her thoughts were on Lin Yuan. She felt an unbearable heartache, as if her heart had shattered into countless pieces.

That invincible hero was now so humble and pathetic for their sake.

Kim Tae-yeon bit her lip hard, her mouth filled with a faint salty taste, as if only physical pain could temporarily dispel the pain in her heart.

Lin Yuan, who had fallen to the ground, could only curl up his handcuffed legs and use his waist and abdomen strength to lift himself up like a stranded fish.

When he got up, he saw that his cuffs were covered in dust, which made him realize how disheveled he looked.

Seeing Lin Yuan's appearance, the blonde woman excitedly slapped her thigh and laughed wildly: "Jump! Darling, you look so beautiful dancing the tango!"

Lin Yuan struggled and jumped forward a few more steps.

When he reached a distance of 15 meters from the woman, he refused to move forward even one step.

At first, the blonde woman thought Lin Yuan was just tired and needed to rest.

But when she realized that Lin Yuan really had no intention of going any further, she immediately flew into a rage and shouted, "Come here right now! How dare you disobey my orders?"

Damn it! Why couldn't we get any closer?
Is this distance 15 meters?

If we don't get closer, how can we ensure that the wedding fireworks will elevate our souls?

The blonde woman knew very well that only by getting within 5 meters could she ensure her wish would be fulfilled.

"I won't take another step closer unless you let them leave first," Lin Yuan replied resolutely. (End of Chapter)
