Synopsis：My girlfriend was a police officer. One day I was kidnapped, a bomb strapped to my body with only ten minutes left on the timer, and the kidnappers forced me to call her. I expected panic and concern, but all I received was her cold scolding: “Caleb, are you seriously pulling this now? How can you be so petty and jealous when a life is at stake?
