...Yi Jinli walked out of the room. The hands hanging by his sides were slightly clenched.When she took hold of his arm, wrapped her arms around his neck, and was about to kiss him, did she know how nervous and expectant he was?However... it was just another disappointment in the end.Even though she was willing to convince him in that way, her body's reaction was not fooling anyone. Her body was still resisting him, so she had not really forgiven him.However, at least she was willing to lie to him and comfort him in such a way. He should be content.He and she... had the rest of their lives. Once the danger at hand was settled and once their children were born, he would have plenty of time to make her accept him again!Yi Jinli gave some orders to the caregiver and bodyguards outside. Just then, Gao Congming hurried over. "Young Master Yi, I have something."Yi Jinli's eyes shimmered slightly, and he waved his hand to the caregiver nearby. The caregiver hurried into the ro
Yi Jinli narrowed his dark eyes and stared at Secretary Wang. "Is that so? You didn't know she escaped?""No, I didn’t," Secretary Wang insisted and said."Okay. You told my men that you wouldn't say anything until you saw me, so why don’t you tell me right now what you wanted to say?” said Yi Jinli."Old Master Yi said if Ling Yiran found out the truth after his death but chose to stay with you, then he'd like to make a bet with you.""A bet?" Yi Jinli was stunned for a moment.Secretary Wang said, "Yes, a bet! Young Master, Old Master Yi wants to bet whether you're willing to give up your life for a woman just like your father previously did."Yi Jinli's expression sank immediately. "What does this mean?" After all, the old master was no longer around. Besides, how was he going to bet on such a thing?Secretary Wang tugged the corners of his lips, smiling without saying a word. However, it was a bit creepy when he showed such a smile on his battered and swollen face."Tell me
Secretary Wang spoke as if he was not concerned, "I worked for Old Master Yi when I was penniless, and he saved my life. Now that the old master is gone, of course, I'll do whatever he told me to do. Young Master, I've already told you what I should. I won't tell you what I shouldn't. You'll find out when the time comes."Yi Jinli pressed his thin lips tightly. He knew Secretary Wang well. Among the people around the old master, Secretary Wang was the most loyal to him.'What did the old master... tell him to do?'A bet?'Grandpa's dead now, yet he still wanted to bet whether I'd give up my life for a woman? How is Grandpa going to bet me on this? Whatever the bet, the woman involved... is Yiran!'Yiran?' Yi Jinli suddenly shuddered as he thought of something. Suddenly, he took out his phone and dialed Ling Yiran's phone number.However, there was no answer from the other end of the line.Yi Jinli's face immediately turned grim. Gao Congming also seemed to realize something and
A frightened and stammering voice sounded from the other end of the line. "We... went to Young Madam's room. Huang Qian and the caregiver had passed out in the room, and Young Madam was nowhere to be seen. There's no surveillance camera... in the bedroom, but the surveillance cameras outside show that Young Madam never left the bedroom. Also, there was a lingering smell of knockout drops... in the bedroom.""Find her! Find Young Madam even if you have to turn the whole house upside down!" said Yi Jinli as he threw the phone back to Gao Congming. He stared at Secretary Wang as if he were about to kill him. He used a hand to grab the older man by the hair as he pushed him against the wall."Speak, what have you done with Yiran? I'll kill you if anything happens to her!" With a thump, Secretary Wang's head hit the wall hard.However, Secretary Wang laughed. "Young Master, I won't tell you even if you kill me. You'll know when the time comes!""Speak!" Yi Jinli aggressively slammed Sec
Yi Jinli clenched his teeth.Old Master Yi was the one who raised him, so he naturally knew him best. The old master knew he was suspicious by nature and would be uneasy whenever Yiran was involved. Therefore, he ordered Secretary Wang to disappear for some time before appearing again.This way, Yi Jinli would want to see Secretary Wang in person as he would only feel at ease after personally questioning him! 'Even when Grandpa’s dead, he still wants to do this to me?'How is Grandpa going to bet whether I'll give up my life for a woman?'Nothing must happen to... Yiran!'...When Ling Yiran woke up, she was in a car with one hand firmly bound to the steering wheel while the other was bound to the handbrake.The car was parked on the cliff. The back of it was hanging off the cliff, leaving only the front on land. Things looked extremely dangerous. The entire car might just fall off the cliff with the slightest movement inside the car or an external force. The sea was right b
Ling Yiran calmed herself down and said to Hao Yimeng, "If you let me go, I'll forget everything that has happened between us. I can also ask Jin to let you go and help the Hao family go through this crisis."What she had to do now was try and tempt Hao Yimeng with these conditions to make her hesitate. Only in this way could she create more opportunities to escape. It was just that no matter how good Ling Yiran’s offers were, Hao Yimeng did not seem to care. "Ling Yiran, I just want to know if Yi Jinli is willing to risk his life for you! This man didn't even shed a tear when my sister died! Don't you want to know how far he’ll go for you?"Hao Yimeng's eyes burst with hatred as she spoke.She hated Ling Yiran! How did she, the Hao family's second heiress, turn out like this just because of a nobody like Ling Yiran?She had stolen Xiao Ziqi from Ling Yiran back then. She thought Xiao Ziqi would love her deeply, but he abandoned her just like he did Ling Yiran!'I'm Hao Yimeng,
Using his mouth, Secretary Wang signaled in the direction of Ling Yiran's car that was about 20 meters away. He said, "There's a device over there. It's the device that can defuse these bombs. But only your fingerprint can disarm the device, Young Master."As Secretary Wang spoke, the smile on his bruised face became more obvious.Yi Jinli naturally would not believe that everything was so simple!Secretary Wang would not have gone to so much trouble if saving Yiran was going to be so simple."Spit everything out at once! Don't test my patience. I have no time to waste here with you!" snapped Yi Jinli.With Yiran's current situation, the longer they delay it, the more dangerous it would be!"It's just that after you disarm those bombs, the device will detonate itself at the same time. In other words, you'll save Ling Yiran but kill yourself at the same time!"Secretary Wang's voice was not low as he deliberately tried to let Ling Yiran hear him.Sure enough, when Ling Yiran hea
However, Ling Yiran now understood why one of her hands was tied to the handbrake and the other to the steering wheel.One to live and one to die. No matter what she chose, there was no ideal outcome!No one knew how many bombs were buried in front of her car.There was no time even if Yi Jinli wanted to investigate it carefully. Moreover, if someone accidentally triggered the bomb and caused an explosion, that would be the worst-case scenario!'Is there really no chance of survival?' Ling Yiran kept racking her brain.She was still on the video call with Hao Yimeng through the phone in front of her. She heard what was being said and smiled as she spoke, “Well, isn't that interesting? Ling Yiran, what do you think Yi Jinli will do? He'll just leave you to die and have you become a sacrifice!"Ling Yiran was in no mood to pay attention to Hao Yimeng. All her attention was on Yi Jinli.At the moment, Yi Jinli was also looking at Ling Yiran. There seemed to be some determination in
